Chapter 2: Three o'clock in the morning
In the early morning of the next day, Li Mutian woke up quietly at three o'clock in the morning, and after a night's rest, his mood returned to the same state.
But as long as he thought of the strange scene last night, Li Mutian's heart still fluttered.
After half a ring, after everything was cleaned up, he braved the cold and biting mountain wind and stepped out of the courtyard gate again.
The purple orchid fruit was extremely important to him, and he planned to try his luck in the depths of Kunwu Mountain to see if he could find another one. Even if you can't find the purple orchid fruit, it's not impossible to find an elixir to replace it.
The next moment, Li Mutian's figure flickered a few times, and he once again threw himself into the misty Kunwu Mountain......
Quietly, a crescent moon slowly rose to the sky and hung in the night sky of Kunwu Mountain.
At this time, Li Mutian was lying listlessly on a smooth and round mountain rock.
During this day, in addition to cultivation, he was looking for elixir, and the young man at this moment was already exhausted.
Li Mutian listlessly put his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky.
From childhood to adulthood, he had to rely on himself for everything, but on the path of cultivation, he felt more and more that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.
The helpless boy thought of his parents at this time, he remembered his father's strong arms, and he remembered his mother's warm embrace......
"Daddy, where the hell have you been?"
Thinking of this, the young man's vision instantly became blurred, as if the whole world had suddenly darkened......
I don't know how much time has passed, Li Mutian walked in the mountains and dense forests with a heavy heart.
He had been stuck at the peak of the True Yuan Realm for a long time, and he originally planned to use the Purple Orchid Fruit to break through the bottleneck, but the sudden appearance of the white shadow completely disrupted his plan.
What should I do, should I continue to blindly search for elixir in Kunwu Mountain, or should I go to the family to ask for it......
Just when Li Mutian was thinking wildly, he suddenly frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something abnormal, and looked at the depths of the mountains and forests in surprise. After a moment of hesitation, the young man's body moved, and he galloped away in one direction......
At this time, the sky was dark, the light in the depths of the mountains and forests was extremely dim, and the grass and trees were extremely deep, Li Mutian's brows were tightly locked, and he was also staggering between his steps.
He didn't know how far he had traveled in this mountain forest, but the next moment, he walked through a dense forest with ease, and came to a mountain col that was inaccessible.
"Roar!"
The furious roar of the beast and the hoarse cries for help of the maiden were clearly heard in the ears.
Li Mutian's complexion changed slightly, and his body was like an arrow from a string sweeping in the direction where the sound came.
After a cup of tea, Li Mutian came to a dense forest with lush trees.
Through the gap in the forest, I saw a white python about seven zhang long and as thick as a water tank hovering under a thousand-year-old tree not far away.
On its triangular head, you can vaguely see the bright red snake letter constantly stretching and contracting, and its two egg-sized eyes show a murderous light, staring at the top of the ancient tree......
Li Mutian looked up and saw that deep in the lush branches and leaves, two young women could be vaguely seen.
Although the light was dim, through the hazy moonlight, the silhouette of the second daughter was faintly visible.
One is dressed in black like ink and has dark skin, while the other is dressed in white like snow, beautiful and beautiful.
"Help!"
The two girls hugged the thick branches of the bowl and shouted, and it was obvious that Li Mutian was attracted by their voices......
Seeing that the situation of the second daughter was precarious, Li Mutian's heart froze, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, his center of gravity sank, his feet kicked back hard, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed to the nearest ancient tree, wandering through the forest like a dexterous ape, but ten breaths swept to the thousand-year-old tree where the second daughter was hiding.
The strength of the woman in black was obviously extraordinary, and at the same time that Li Mutian jumped to the thousand-year-old tree, she sensed that someone was coming.
She was suddenly happy in her heart, and was about to ask, but when she could see Li Mutian's immature face clearly, her face instantly became solemn again.
The next moment, the woman in black hurriedly urged Li Mutian: "Little brother, there is danger here, you leave quickly, if you can, find your elders to save us." ”
Although Li Mutian was young, he was a smart person, and he knew in his heart that the woman in black must have seen that she was just a teenager, and her strength was low, and it was not enough to help them solve their current predicament, so she would let herself leave.
However, he thought about it for a while, and was relieved in his heart, this white python he had heard from the elders in the village, its strength was indeed terrifying, and if he was an enemy head-on, he would definitely be defeated.
Thinking of this, Li Mutian smiled slightly, and was not angry, but arched his hand at the woman in black:
"This place is far away from our village, and if I go back and find someone to save you, then you will be a meal for the python. ”
The woman in black had a solemn face and sighed faintly: "That big guy is really powerful, if we didn't have a weapon that can block it slightly, and its speed is not too fast, otherwise we would have been devoured by it." ”
"Seeing that you are young, about the same age as my Qinghe sister, even if you have some strength, it will not help, in this case, you should run for your life as soon as possible!"
Although the woman in black in front of her looked down on herself, she didn't want to affect the character of others between her words, and Li Mutian still praised it very much.
Li Mutian was born in a Xiuzhen family since he was a child, and he was born with a chivalrous heart, how could he abandon this situation.
So Li Mutian smiled slightly: "If I were afraid of danger, I wouldn't have come here." How did the two girls provoke this white python, I live here, and I have never seen it take the initiative to hurt people, if it hadn't been forced to hurry, it would definitely not be so ferocious. ”
Li Mutian's voice was not loud, and the girl in white who was a little farther away could also clearly hear it, and at this time he found that there was an extra teenager on the ancient tree, and when he looked up, he saw that the young man was dressed plainly, handsome and extraordinary, and he had a good feeling.
Before the woman in black could answer, the girl in white preemptively said: "Sister Yihan and I lost our way in the deep mountains, walked for a long time, and never found the way we came, and we arrived here unconsciously. ”
"When I encountered a little snake before, I was scared, so I attacked it with the high-voltage electric self-defense weapon we carried with me in a panic. ”
"Little snake?" Li Mutian was a little puzzled, and looked at the girl in white with an inquiring gaze.
"It's also a little longer, but it's much smaller than the big guy below!" added the woman in black.
The girl in white nodded and continued: "Not long after, the big snake below appeared, chasing us closely, if we hadn't brought a lot of weapons with us, I'm afraid it would have become its stomach meal long ago." ”
"This great snake is extremely powerful, and under our attack, it is not only unharmed, but even more brutal. Now that our weapons are out of power, and I'm so slow that I have no choice but to climb this big tree for help. ”
When Li Mutian heard this, he immediately understood why the second daughter was attacked by this white python.
It is said that this white python has existed for a very long time, but it has never been heard of actively attacking humans, and it is believed that the second daughter killed its descendants, so it caused the giant python to chase and kill them......
Li Mutian had a general understanding of the whole story, and said slowly: "Nine times out of ten, the little snake you killed is the descendant of the white python below, so it will chase after you. ”
"I heard the old man in the village say that it is extremely short-guarded, if it were not for the protection of this thousand-year-old tree, it is estimated that you would have been buried here. ”
"But this place is off-limits to tourists, so why did you come to this mountain?"
Although it can be concluded that the woman in black is extraordinary, she is not a master in Li Mutian's eyes, and the girl in white is powerless, what can make them come to the depths of this Kunwu Mountain with their lives?
