Chapter Twenty-Nine: Broken Dreams

In less than half a pillar of incense, Qiao Yuan heard the sound of water in front of him, although the sound of water was not loud, he knew that the big river was not far away.

After a while, Qiao Yuan came to the river, looking at the big river in front of him, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, as if he had now shaken off the red-eyed demon beast behind him.

The river is quiet and slow, without a little ripple or undulation, and the river is full of trees and weeds, and the river is like a moat that separates the wild growth of trees and grasses.

It was too dark, Qiao Yuan really couldn't see the river clearly, but he didn't care about this, he directly began to take off his clothes, took off his body naked, held Bai Yue in his right hand, and held the storage bag and the bag given by Xiao Fengqing in his left hand, took out half of the python corpse in the storage bag, stuffed the clothes he took off into the half python corpse, and then threw it into the river.

After doing this, Qiao Yuan ran directly upstream naked, at this time he no longer used the slightest spiritual power, ran for about ten miles, and found a big stone by the river, he directly groped the big stone and jumped into the river.

Qiao Yuan had guessed before that the red-eyed demon beast had been chasing him because of the big python, but he really couldn't understand how the red-eyed demon beast could know his escape route.

The distance between him and the red-eyed demon beast was at least thirty or forty miles, and it was late at night, there was no moonlight, there were many rocks and trees in the mountains and forests, and the line of sight was very poor, and it was impossible for the red-eyed demon beast to see Qiao Yuan's figure.

Qiao Yuan had thought that the red-eyed demon beast might know his location through spiritual power fluctuations, so he hadn't used his spiritual power all along, plus he had just condensed the wind cyclone to speed up, and the red-eyed demon beast's speed had also skyrocketed, which further proved that his idea was correct.

In addition to visual tracking and spiritual tracking, Qiao Yuan was basically able to determine that the red-eyed demon beast was tracking him through the smell, as for whether it was the smell of the python's corpse or the smell of his own body, he thought that it should be the smell of his body, after all, the python's corpse was in his storage bag.

However, these problems are irrelevant, he has already thrown all the body and clothes of the python in the river and let it float downstream, and he has also soaked his body in the river, which should be able to avoid the smell of the red-eyed demon beast.

The reason why Qiao Yuan didn't lose his clothes and the corpse of the python in the mountains and forests was that he was afraid that the red-eyed demon beast would be even more angry after finding the clothes and the corpse of the python, and he would not give up, in case the red-eyed demon beast knew the smell on its body through the clothes, the result would be even worse.

He hid in the river for a cup of tea, and the red-eyed demon beast found the river where Qiao Yuan had discarded his clothes, and unexpectedly it didn't let out a roar.

Qiao Yuan hid behind the boulder and poked his head out, and saw the big lantern-like eyes floating quietly in the air, and he didn't know what he was staring at.

I don't know how long it took, the pair of red-eyed demon beasts looked in the direction of the lower reaches of the river, and then the red-eyed demon beast galloped downstream, and the red-eyed demon beast didn't look upstream from beginning to end.

Qiao Yuan was already stunned when he hid behind the big stone, and his eyes were full of shock. It wasn't until the red-eyed demon beast came to the river, and in the faint darkness of the night, he could see the outline of the red-eyed demon beast clearly, but it was this outline that shocked him extremely much.

It was a behemoth, with an upright body of seven or eight feet, and its head and body were two feet wide, and as it galloped, he realized that this red-eyed demon beast was actually a huge python.

The size of this snake can be seen through a little outline, if you compare the green python that Qiao Yuan cut before, the green python is like a yellow eel loach in front of it.

After the big snake left, Qiao Yuan still lay in the water and never came out, if the big snake went and returned, then everything he did just now would be in vain.

But just after a hundred breaths, he heard an extremely violent roar, which was made by the red-eyed python, but Qiao Yuan had already prepared, and had already blocked both his ears and Bai Yue's ears, and dived into the water, so he didn't suffer much impact.

Qiao Yuan only felt the river trembling lightly under the roar in the water, and even the stones around him were shaking, he knew that the red-eyed python must have found the body of the python and his clothes, and through this he also knew that the snake had a lot to do with the green python that he killed.

But he didn't care about these things, he decided to hide tonight, and he must hurry away from the Henglin Mountain Range tomorrow.

The red-eyed python naturally refused to stop after roaring, and has been wandering by the river, a pair of big red eyes seem to be able to breathe flames, and the trees by the river have been wreakingly damaged, and even many small beasts and birds have been affected by the pond fish.

Qiao Yuan has been hiding in the river, from time to time out of the water to breathe, Bai Yue woke up when he entered the river, but it seemed to know the situation at the moment, did not struggle and roar, but followed Qiao Yuan into the water, avoiding the search of the red-eyed python.

The red-eyed python had been searching for Qiao Yuan by the river, but it couldn't find any of Qiao Yuan's breath, and it lasted until the sky was bright, and the red-eyed python disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Qiao Yuan knew that the red-eyed python had left the river, but he didn't come out of the river, but lay on the big rock next to him and put Bai Yue on it.

It was not a big deal for him to soak in the river overnight, but he was afraid that Bai Yue was still too young, and soaked his body in the water, so after putting it up, he took out some dried meat and two pieces of clothing from the storage bag, wrapped the clothes around Bai Yue, and then used the only remaining spiritual power in his body to condense his hair in the palm of his hand to caress his hair and warm his body.

Bai Yue saw Qiao Yuan, whose entire body was submerged in the river with only one head exposed, and felt the warmth coming from his hand, it screamed softly, and a pair of wolf eyes contained a moving light, stretching out its tongue and licking Qiao Yuan's palm, as if in response to Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan looked at Bai Yue's very spiritual eyes, his purple lips pulled up an arc, and he stroked Bai Yue's head with a smile. The warmth in Qiao Yuan's heart was even more, he knew that Bai Yue had already recognized him, no matter what, this result had already made Qiao Yuan very satisfied.

An hour later, Qiao Yuan finally saw the sun that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he hadn't heard the roar of the big snake for a long time, so he slowly climbed from the river to the boulder.

Qiao Yuan* was lying on the boulder basking in the sun, with an extremely relaxed smile on his face, and he looked extremely comfortable in the sun.

He had been in the dense forest since he left Qingfeng Village, although he could see the sun, but he could only see through the branches and leaves by climbing to the top of the tree, and he hadn't basked in the sun like this for a long time.

Bai Yue's fur was soaked in the river, and it became brighter and whiter under the sun, as if it was piled up by snow, and he lay on Qiao Yuan's chest, as if he was also enjoying this warm moment.

Qiao Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun, feeling the body temperature on Bai Yue's body, the loneliness after leaving Qingfeng Village had completely disappeared in his heart, now there was only relaxation and warmth, and slowly I don't know how long it took, Qiao Yuan fell asleep because of the tiredness of his mind.

Qiao Yuan dreamed that he had come to a strange place, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the pavilions and pavilions were all over the emerald green peaks and lakes.

In the center of a blue lake, there was a small boat floating, Qiao Yuan lay on this small boat, the boat was not big, but only a zhang long.

In addition to Qiao Yuan, there was another figure standing at the bow of the boat, this figure was hazy, it was difficult to see its appearance clearly, and it could only vaguely know that it was a woman.

As soon as he woke up, the woman walked into the distance on the blue water, without looking back or turning around, but from all directions there was an extremely soft and beautiful woman's voice.

"Live well...... Live well...... Stay alive ......"

Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a confused look, looking at the figure of the woman, his heart involuntarily tingled, for no reason, he was sure that he had never seen this woman, but the stinging in his heart became more and more painful as she walked farther away.

Hearing the woman's words, Qiao Yuan immediately stood up and was about to chase after the woman, wanting to ask who she was and why she felt heartache when she saw her.

But as soon as he stood up, the hazy figure of the woman disappeared above the blue lake, Qiao Yuan turned around, looked around carefully, and wanted to find the woman's figure, but there was a dead silence all around, not to mention the woman, not even a bird and a small beast.

Noticing the anomaly around him, he immediately wanted to paddle the boat to the shore to inspect it, but no matter how much he paddled the lake, the boat seemed to stay in place, and did not move a single bit.

Qiao Yuan gritted his teeth and jumped directly into the blue lake, but no matter how hard Qiao Yuan swam, he was still around the boat, and he couldn't leave the boat at all, as if everything around him was false, and only this boat was real.

However, not long after, Qiao Yuan heard a "click", and saw the mountains and rivers and pavilions in the distance shattered, as if a mirror curtain had been broken, and irregular fragments were scattered in the air.

Only then did Qiao Yuan see the countless figures existing in it from the fragments, including men and women, old and young, or laughing and playing, or meditating and cultivating, or preaching scriptures and preaching, or refining weapons and refining medicines, just like a sect of cultivation.

He was carefully observing the monk in the shape of the fragment when he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his nose, as if he had been bitten by something, and then he only felt a blur in front of him, and he closed his eyes involuntarily, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of large eyes filling his entire field of vision.

Qiao Yuan subconsciously reached out and grabbed a furry object directly, and then saw a clear and cloudless blue sky.

But the moment Qiao Yuan saw the blue sky, he heard an earth-shattering roar, which was deafening, as if it was exploding in his ears.

Qiao Yuan looked up directly, and saw a huge python head standing in the bushes less than ten miles away from him, a pair of big scarlet eyes staring at him, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.
