Chapter 52: Straight to the Snake's Den
The mountains and forests are boundless, the shade of the trees is in the air, the mountains and rocks stretch, there are no paths, only the traces left by the trampling of wild beasts.
Fortunately, the group were all monks with profound mana, and Zhang Xu and the others were not slow to overcome obstacles along the way.
The mountain forest resources are much stronger than the grassland, and there are gurgling streams everywhere, which merge into a magnificent river, with abundant river water, trees growing luxuriantly, and all kinds of plants also growing wildly. Exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, and there is no shortage of spiritual grasses that can enter the Dan.
The number of animals in the mountains and forests is also countless times greater than that of the grassland, the monkeys and squirrels in the trees, the pheasants and pikas in the grass, the foxes that suddenly burst out, and the rhinoceros and wild asses in the river by the river, and the fierce crocodiles in the river jumped out of the water, biting a wild donkey and then entering the water again.
Everything is so primitive, so wild. However, the group didn't know this, but focused on the lair of the demon snake.
Maybe it was the demon snake that took away all the fierce beasts in order to attack the light gate, and the group entered the mountain forest for a long time, and did not encounter too many fierce demon beasts. Of course, there were also some wolves and leopards who tried to attack, but they were all easily killed, but none of the demon beasts and demon cultivators with demonic power were seen, which also allowed the group to move forward quickly.
The lair of the demon snake must be in the reckless mountains ahead, but it only knows a general range, and no one knows which mountain it is.
The monks finally argued over whether to turn left or right, and most of the monks thought that the snake's lair should be on the mountain on the left that was significantly higher than the others. However, Zhang Xu thought that it should be the mountain on the right that was not too high, which was the result of Feng Ping's exploration of the aura.
"A beginner-level casual cultivator of foundation building, what do you know, how can you interject here!" A late-stage foundation building monk named Du Li sneered, he was tired of Zhang Xu's fingers all the way, and seeing that Xiong Xian's face was not good, he opened fire on Feng Ping!
Zhang Xu's face sank: "Is there anything to do with probing spiritual power fluctuations and cultivation?" Feng Ping is cultivating earth-based exercises, and he is naturally sensitive to spiritual energy fluctuations. Also, he is now a disciple of my Iron Sword Sect, and he is no longer a casual cultivator, the Iron Sword Sect is an initial sect!"
Du Li sneered, turned his head to Xiong Xian and said: "Elder Xiong, now it's hunting in the other world, it's not your Iron Sword Sect family, you are the leader of this trip designated by the big treasurer, you can't listen to your little master for everything." ”
"Yes, Elder Xiong, it's up to you to make up your mind about this. Several other monks in the late stage of foundation building also helped.
Xiong Xian groaned, unable to make up his mind.
Zhang Xu just hugged his arms and sneered, waiting to see what Xiong Xian said.
"Master, are you really sure that the demon beast's lair is on the mountain on the right?" Xiong Xian pulled Zhang Xu aside and asked softly.
"What's the matter, Elder Xiong doesn't want to believe me?" Zhang Xu asked rhetorically.
Xiong Xian sighed in his heart, looking at Zhang Xu's posture, knowing that if he violated Zhang Xu at this time, there would be a deep gap between the two sides. 、
Gritting his teeth, he turned and walked back.
"The snake's lair is on the hill on the right, let's go to the right!"
"Elder Xiong!" Du Li said angrily.
"I've made up my mind, and I'll take care of it if something happens!" Xiong Xian waved his hand and gave the final order.
So the group headed for the mountain on the right.
"Master, Elder Xiong is very loyal to the Iron Sword Sect. Feng Ping whispered to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu smiled slightly, and was very relieved in his heart, Xiong Xian could support him without hesitation at a critical moment, indicating that he still had a status in his heart.
Near the peak on the right, there are suddenly more snakes, and snakes can be seen from time to time on the mountain road and on the branches. Blue and white snakes, pit vipers, red chain snakes, silver kraits, and many unknown snakes.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the number of snakes increased, and from time to time there were snakes that tried to attack the people who passed by, and of course they would be easily killed.
"There are so many snakes, the lair of the demon snake must be this mountain!" Xiong Xianxi said.
Du Li and a few other monks ignored and had nothing to say.
Ordinary snakes naturally could not interfere with the progress of the group, and when the fire talisman was sacrificed, the fire was ignited, and many snakes were burned and retreated.
However, when approaching the mountainside, they finally ran into trouble, and more than a dozen snake demons in human form appeared in front of them, and two of them had wings and floated in the air.
"Being able to transform is at least to build a foundation and cultivate, everyone be careful!" Xiong Xian shouted and asked everyone to sacrifice their shields.
Without any verbal communication, the shemales fought together, and the snake demons spat venom into ice arrows and wind knives, and shot wildly at the monks, and some of the snake demons rolled up their tails, rolled up large rocks and smashed down on the monks. The most terrifying thing is that the two snake demons in the sky actually summoned thunder and lightning the thickness of their thumbs to fall from the sky.
The lightning was the fastest, shooting towards the heads of the two most advanced monks, Xiong Xian smiled coldly, and the magic sword swept up a boulder and headed towards the thunder and lightning. The boulder and the thunder and lightning met, and with a thunderclap, it turned into raindrops of rubble and fell from the sky.
In the face of thunder and lightning, another monk in the late stage of foundation building had no time to dodge, and offered a magic shield to greet him, and the thunder and lightning hit the magic shield, splashing ten thousand sparks, and the light of the magic shield was like a candle in the wind and rain that could be extinguished at any time.
In the end, they are all foundation building monks, all of them are strong in mana, and the magic shield is enough to resist the demon magic of the snake cultivators. Then one by one, they brandished their magic swords and killed the snake cultivators.
Feng Ping and Xiao Lori were about to rush forward, but they were stopped by Zhang Xu.
"Protect me, kill the two flying snakes in the sky first. ”
These two flying snakes are very similar to the Demon Snake King, but their bodies and wings are much smaller, and they even have a thunder method that even the Demon Snake King can't do.
Zhang Xu said as he picked up the Sky Destroying Crossbow and aimed at the sky and the flying snakes in the sky, the Sky Destroying Crossbow could not deal with the Demon Snake King, and Zhang Xu was still sure of dealing with these two flying snakes.
Aiming at the flying snake and shooting an arrow, without waiting for the result, the other feather arrow was already on the string, and then shot again, Zhang Xu shot three feather arrows in a short time, and finally put down the crossbow tiredly. The Heaven Destroying Crossbow is a high-grade magic weapon, and it can only be pulled three times in a row with Zhang Xu's cultivation at the beginning level, and when he was replaced by the previous Qi level, he had to rest for a while if he shot an arrow.
The three feathered arrows shot out almost uninterrupted, containing powerful spiritual power, almost as soon as they shot out of the crossbow, the next moment they came to the flying snake, and it was three arrows shot at the same time at a flying snake.
The flying snake hurriedly swung its wings to sweep the feather arrow, and both wings were pierced by the feather arrow, and when the snake's body froze, the third feathered arrow arrived, and was passing through it seven inches.
With a "poof", the flying snake fell to the ground. The other flying snake was startled, and its vicious eyes looked at Zhang Xu, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky and smashed towards Zhang Xu.
Little Lori Lin Xi pursed her lips, waved her hands continuously, and several talismans shot into the air, turning into a large ball of fireball and thunder and lightning collided together, and in the splash of 10,000 sparks, the thunder and lightning obviously became much thinner, but in the end, the interception that passed through the fireball array appeared above Zhang Xu's head.
Feng Ping roared, waved his hands continuously, and a yellow earth wall appeared above Zhang Xu's head, and the thunder and lightning touched the earth wall, silently melting into the earth wall.
Zhang Xu, whose face was covered with mud, jumped out from under the earthen wall, swallowed a Qi Gathering Pill, and raised the Sky Destroying Crossbow again, only to find that the second flying snake had turned into two pieces and was falling from the sky.
Xiong Xian withdrew the magic sword that flew out and slashed towards the snake cultivator in front of him again.
Eight monks, one is at the peak of foundation building, four are at the end of foundation building, and the remaining three are also at the beginning of foundation building, such strength is that the demon snake king who formed the demon pill can resist for a long time, not to mention that these strengths are only snake cultivation in the foundation building period. Compared to the Flying Yellow Realm cultivators who had experienced thousands of years of otherworldly exploration, these snake cultivators who only fought by instinct were no opponents at all.
After some fighting, the snake cultivator was killed. The road up the mountain was completely opened, and the group climbed up the mountain, and finally came to the cave on the side of the mountain.
Feng Ping twitched his snort, closed his eyes and stretched out his hands to feel. The others watched him silently, and now no one denied the fact that he was sensitive to Reiki.
"This is the cave!" Feng Ping finally opened his eyes, and said with certainty, he felt the rich aura fluctuations in the cave.
Xiong Xian nodded: "Enter the hole!"
The entrance of the cave is more than two zhang high, the wider it is, and there are many branch caves, and there are also many snakes in the cave, but the snake cultivation did not appear, most of the snake cultivation should go with the demon snake king to besiege the light gate, and the few left are the caretakers.
It was naturally much easier to deal with these ordinary snakes, and the monks swung their swords lightly, and the sword wind alone cut the long snakes into two ends, and everywhere they passed was mottled with colorful snake blood and the corpses of snakes broken in two.
The further in, the darker it became, and after going deeper into more than ten zhang, there was no light, Xiong Xian took out a spirit bead from his arms and poured mana to hang it above his head, and the spirit bead emitted a soft white light that illuminated the space around several zhang.
Feng Ping followed the aura fluctuations in front of him, and walked for half a pillar of incense time, and everyone was cheerful in front of them, and a huge space appeared, Xiong Xian took out a talisman from his arms and threw it into the air, bursting into a fireball, and by the light of the fireball, everyone saw that this space was a hundred feet wide, and there was not a single snake in it. There are countless bones scattered on the ground of the cave, and it looks like the bones of beasts, and I think they are devoured by demon snakes and absorbed by beasts and spit out. And among the countless bones, there are dozens or hundreds of snake eggs the size of goose eggs.
"This must be the Demon Snake King's lair!"
There was no need for Feng Ping to guide him, everyone felt the rich aura in the cave, and when they ran the exercises lightly, a trace of aura poured into their bodies, and they felt so comfortable.
The bones on the ground were gathered and piled together, and when they were thrown away from the fire charm, a raging fire ignited, and the flames jumped and lit up the entire space, and also illuminated the happy faces of the monks. This time I found the Demon Snake King's cave, and everyone made a great contribution.
"Rest for a while, everyone will split up and search, and we must find what the Demon Snake King can recover quickly. Xiong Xian did not forget the task of this trip and commanded.
After a long drive and fierce fighting, even the monks with strong mana were a little tired, and now everyone sat down on the ground after cleaning, and some monks threw snake eggs into the fire to barbecue. This snake egg was obviously produced by the Demon Snake King, and it was a great supplement for the monks.
"Huh!" According to this, in the hundreds of miles of mangling forest, the demon snake king who was covered in scaly wounds suddenly stopped, the snake's head twisted and looked in the direction of the snake mountain, and a pair of triangular eyes shot out a cold light.
