Chapter 12 Exploration of the Back Mountain (2) Monty Python

The night was dark, and there was no light in sight. I could only faintly see a white mist surging slowly.

Ji Ping leaned on a thick tree trunk, vigilantly observing everything around him, although he was physically and mentally exhausted from running all night, Ji Ping's tense nerves never relaxed for a moment.

"Is the wind blowing?" Ji Ping said secretly. But after thinking about it again, I felt that something was wrong, the back mountain is a valley land, the terrain is so low, and there are dangerous mountains all around, how can there be wind blowing in. Ji Ping, who figured it out here, looked a little nervous again, staring intently at the direction where he felt the wind blowing. I saw that the fog in front of me, which was slowly surging, suddenly became manic, and rushed behind me desperately. After a moment, Ji Ping vaguely noticed that there were two red lights in the distance approaching his side. Before Ji Ping could think carefully about what it was, the familiar rustling sound sounded in his ears again.

Ji Ping's first instinct was to run, he jumped off the tree with agility and ran forward with his feet. The thing in the distance didn't seem to want to let go of the prey in front of him, and galloped forward like crazy, chasing after him, but the speed was a few points faster than Ji Ping.

Ji Ping, who was running wildly, couldn't care about looking back at the appearance of the monster, and his heart was extremely horrified, what kind of demon beast could have such great energy that could stir up the fog in this mountain forest? Then he thought of the red light, and an incredible thought arose in his mind, could it be that the eyes? Thinking of this, Ji Ping was already heartbroken.

Gradually, the rustling sound behind him became louder and louder, and even, you could smell the fishy and pungent smell. Ji Ping knew that the monster was getting closer and closer to him, and if he continued to run like this, he would be caught up sooner or later. After thinking about it, I finally decided that it was better to give it a go, and maybe there would be a glimmer of life. Don't hesitate!Ji Ping stopped, found a thick ancient tree, jumped up, drew the long sword behind his back, and quietly waited for the monster to arrive.

The monster stopped under the tree, and Ji Ping finally saw his appearance clearly, his body dozens of feet long, his waist was thick and looked thicker than those ancient trees, the dense scales of his body were covered with strange and colorful patterns, a pair of scarlet eyes, which looked particularly weird, with sharp fangs in his mouth, and from time to time he spit out bursts of green smoke, and the smell was pungent.

"Chilian Python!" Ji Ping blurted out without thinking, he didn't expect that there really was such a demon beast left over from ancient times in the world, but legend has it that this ancient demon beast only appeared on the coast of the North Sea, how could it be here?

Ji Ping, who was thinking, suddenly felt a pungent stench rushing towards him, and without thinking, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, but despite this, he still felt dizzy, and a feeling of nausea rose in his abdomen. The skin on his body was as hot and painful as if it had been burned. Ji Ping retracted his mind and looked under the tree, only to see the red python, with its snake head held high, its open bloody mouth looking particularly hideous, and its two scarlet eyes staring at him.

Ji Ping was also very helpless, at this time, he was on top of the ancient tree, there was no room to flicker and move, and he could only bear the poisonous and smelly fog silently.

Seeing that the poisonous mist in his mouth had no effect on the prey in front of him, the Chilian giant python stopped, and its huge body circled around the ancient tree a few times, and suddenly the snake's tail swept and hit the ancient tree, and with a "boom", the ancient tree broke off in response! Fortunately, Ji Ping reacted quickly enough, hurriedly jumped down from the tree, and rushed forward far away before standing firm. I was shocked in my heart, but I didn't expect the power of this beast's blow to be terrifying. Without waiting for Ji Ping to think about it, there was already the sound of hunting in his ears, and the sound of breaking the sky came, Ji Ping didn't reply, and rolled forward in embarrassment.

There was another "boom", and the earth shook.

Ji Ping rolled forward, and before he could stand still, the whistling sound of the mountains and seas had reached his ears, Ji Ping subconsciously protected the long sword on his chest, gathering his little remaining soul power on the long sword, and the black mist gathered around the long sword. It seems that there is no room for hesitation. Every decision you make will be a matter of life and death.

There was a sharp loud bang, mixed with the sound of Jin Ge's resonance, and the long sword in Ji Ping's hand broke in response, and the person flew out upside down.

Ji lay flat on the ground and opened his eyes for a long time. He still held the half of the broken sword in his hand, and the blood in his mouth kept pouring out, staining the clothes on his chest red. He instinctively wanted to move, but the pain was excruciating.

Ji Ping endured the severe pain on his body, smiled miserably, and muttered, "I didn't expect to be buried in the belly of the snake in the end," After speaking, a large piece of blood gushed out of his mouth. At this life-and-death juncture when there is no power to resist, everything seems to be unimportant. The past flashed in my mind, is it love and hatred?

It seemed that a long time had passed, Ji Pingtou didn't wait for the beast's final blow, and secretly wondered in his heart, "Could that beast also have humanity, seeing me so miserable and unbearable to start, or unwilling to let myself die so happily, catch it back and torture it slowly?" but immediately shook his head and denied it again. He turned around with difficulty and looked at the beast, but was surprised to find that not far in front of him there was something he had once familiar with—a dark red line slowly lit up, flashing with a strange light. The beast looked very uneasy, and opened its bloody mouth and roared, but never crossed the red line.

Ji Ping knows and is familiar with it, this must be a powerful formation in the soul clan, then, the dark red line is-blood!

For a while, Ji Ping couldn't figure out why there was such a powerful ban here, and why he was safe and sound in this ban. But suddenly he looked happy, as if he had figured out something. He took out the Blue Emperor Soul Stone from his arms with difficulty, the stone that had been exhausted and had no color at all, but it emitted a quiet light, but it was stained by Ji Ping's blood, and there was a hint of bewitching red in the quiet light.

It was almost dawn, and the dense fog in the forest slowly dissipated, leaving only a layer of mist. At some point, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and small threads of rain crackled through the mist and crackled on the leaves. The Chilian python roared away in unwillingness, and the fishy and pungent smell was also diluted and disappeared in this drizzle.

The rain hit Ji Ping's body, there was a slight coolness, which also made Ji Ping's originally painful and broken body more comfortable, he raised his head and looked in the direction where the rain came, as if the rain could wash away the pain in his body.

As the sky grew brighter, everything not far away began to become clear. Ji Ping looked around and realized that he was under a low mountain, and the red line in front of him was extending from the other side of the mountain. Ji Ping endured the pain in his body and stood up straight, holding the short sword in his hand and walking towards the mountain step by step.

The more Ji Ping walked forward, the more frightened he became, because the red line in front of him became more and more dense, and when he reached the front of the hill, the red line was even denser and inseparable, and it looked even more terrifying under the reflection of the faint color light emitted by the Blue Emperor Soul Stone, like hell.
