Chapter Eighty-Four: Fierce Battle with the Shadow Serpent (Part I)
I don't know if everyone's luck is good or bad, in the next two days, the team didn't even see the shadow of half a top-level demon beast except for two high-level demon beasts. Although safety is safe, the feeling of getting nothing is still very uncomfortable, like a full blow suddenly hitting the air, which is very uncomfortable.
"Wait, everyone, stop! Something is wrong, I feel as if something is secretly eyeing us!" At this time, Lin Quan suddenly shouted. At the same time, a brown shield was placed on his body. The jade yellow shield also floated up and protected it in front of him, and his hands quickly poked out and took out ten talisman seals, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
"Everyone's on alert!
Lin Quan's reaction surprised everyone a little. However, Hongfu still believed Lin Quan's judgment and gave the order in time. The other four also executed it immediately without a trace of hesitation. Through the past few days of getting along, they have long discovered Lin Quan's strength in spiritual sense. There had been several times when they were in distress, and the three ninth-layer cultivators of the Red Whisk had not been able to find out, but Lin Quan was always able to react in advance.
Just when everyone was ready to take precautions, a loud sound suddenly erupted from the ground not far in front of Zhou Fatzi, and after a "boom", the soil and gravel on the ground flew together, and then a hideous black snake head emerged from the broken hole. The snake seemed to be very good at launching sneak attacks from the ground, and as soon as the snake's head came out, it opened its mouth, only to see a large black and smelly venom sprinkled on everyone's face.
Seeing that this first wave of attacks was so sudden and ferocious, Hongfu and the others also turned pale. Fortunately, everyone adjusted the formation in time and blessed themselves with a spiritual shield, otherwise this venom with an extremely wide splashing range alone would have made the unsuspecting people lose their skin if they didn't die.
"This is a first-order top-level demon beast shadow snake! Its venom is extremely poisonous and can also contaminate magic weapons and spiritual power shields! Everyone must not use magic weapons to resist, all use spells to carry out long-range strikes. When Red Whisk saw the snake's true face, he immediately cried out loudly.
At the same time, Red Fu and Wang Qingyun also launched fire and wood attack spells at the first time. I saw that after the flash of two fiery snakes and a large burst of cyan light, most of the incoming venom attacks were contained, so that the remaining small part of the venom was obviously not too threatening.
"Well done!" Zhou Fatzi laughed and cheered, and after a flash of golden light on his body, he picked up his big sword and rushed forward.
After resisting the most fatal and tricky venom sneak attack with such ease, everyone's morale was suddenly high. Just when the Li brothers also wanted to help Zhou Fatzi attack the Shadow Snake, Lin Quan's expression changed again, and he turned his head in disbelief to look at the ground not far behind everyone.
"Sister Hong, Fairy Wang, let's cooperate with Brother Zhou to resist the big guy in front first. Two Li Daoyou, don't make a move yet! Pay attention to the ground three zhang behind you, there seems to be something there!" After his mind moved, Lin Quan raised his hand and played out the five fireball talisman seals in his hand to contain them, and then suddenly stopped the Li brothers, and once again issued an order.
Kim Do-woo...... You ......" The Li brothers didn't react for a while after listening to Lin Quan's words. According to common sense, the top demon beasts all have their own spheres of influence. Since an adult Shadow Serpent has already appeared here, it is unlikely that there will be other monsters.
"Two Li Daoyou, you listen to Brother Jin first! Zhou Fatzi, Qingyun, let's try our best to hold it back!"
After seeing Lin Quan so uncharacteristically and continuously opening his mouth to warn, Hongfu's heart also sank. But she did not express any opposition or dissatisfaction, but adopted Lin Quan's opinion very decisively. If the first wave of this Shadow Snake's raid was not discovered by himself and the others in advance, and he could still use some excuses to cover it up, then the second reminder that he still failed to discover Lin Quan after he had already put his spiritual sense to the maximum was very revealing. Since none of his three ninth-level cultivators could detect the hidden crisis underground, they should fully believe Lin Quan's warning.
"Okay, Sister Hong!"
The question that Hongfu can think clearly, Wang Qingyun and Zhou Fatzi have also understood after a little thought. After they looked at each other, they immediately formed a horn-like formation with Red Whisk, surrounding the shadow snake in front of them.
"Fellow Daoists, rest assured, my brothers can save it!"
There were three ninth-layer cultivators who were fully defending against the top-level demon beasts in front of them, and the two Li brothers were also very relieved. They turned around and focused all their attention on the ground within three feet of them.
"Hiss......"
After the venom sneak attack that he tried and tested was actually cracked by the human monks, this black snake with an extremely ugly appearance was also stunned. It immediately hissed angrily, opened its bloody mouth and devoured Zhou Fatzi. Since venom is useless, the Shadow Snake, which is not good at spell attacks, can only rely on its strong body and sharp viper attacks to win.
"Hehe, it's good to come! Hand-to-hand combat, your Uncle Zhou has never been afraid. ”
The Shadow Snake's sudden use of melee combat was in the hands of Zhou Fatzi. His eyes widened, and after shouting excitedly, he directly swung the big sword in his hand and greeted him fearlessly. He who has already cultivated the Golden Alchemy Technique is the best at this kind of hard-fought battle, although he also knows that with his current cultivation, he cannot be the opponent of this snake, but whether it is for the victory of the entire team or to hone his fighting skills, he must be the first to go up. Even if it was a top-level demon beast on the other side, he didn't care at all.
"Two Li Daoyou, the things below are about to come out, be careful!" Lin Quan, who was looking at the front and back directions at the same time, threw the remaining five talismans in his hand towards the Shadow Snake and reminded the Li brothers loudly again.
"Boom!"
"Bell" "Bell"
As soon as Lin Quan's words fell, the three dramatic sounds sounded at the same time almost in no particular order.
Zhou Fatzi used all his strength to make a sword that could only block the fierce force of the shadow snake, and the sharp golden sword and the big snake's fangs intersected and splashed a spark, neither of which was damaged. However, after a burst of blood and qi, Zhou Fatzi still couldn't stabilize his body, and "kicked" and retreated several big steps in a row.
The Shadow Snake didn't get any bargain, first it was forcibly intercepted by Zhou Fatzi with a fierce devour, and then before the old force had exhausted its new strength, it was bombarded by Lin Quan's talisman seal and the spells of Hongfu and Wang Qingyun, and it had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment.
On the other side, the Li brothers also relied on their sturdy giant shield magic weapon and superior defensive ability to block the other two black shadows that escaped from the ground in time. Since they had been fully prepared in advance, and the two new black shadows that emerged were obviously just small snakes in the late maturity stage, the Li brothers obviously had the upper hand this time.
"Happy, it's so happy! Brother Jin, this is really yours, thanks to you, we haven't been attacked by these three animals." Hahaha...... "After getting the support of the red whisk, Zhou Fatzi obviously relieved his breath in time, and after a little adjustment, he stood at the front with his sword again.
"One big, two small, three shadow snakes, this time we're afraid we're going to be annoyed. I don't know if any of you have any good solutions? My Mandarin Duck Sword and Zhou Fatzi's Golden Horn Sword can't break through the defense of that big snake in a short period of time. Although the eyes are its weak point, with the shrewdness and strength of the snake, I don't think we will have a chance to easily hit its eyes. ”
After a wave of temptation, Hongfu's mood was obviously very bad, and she interrupted Zhou Fatzi's words with some impatience. My heart was filled with reluctance and anger.
I finally encountered a top-level demon beast, but it was a guy with rough skin and thick flesh, and if you wanted to kill it, you would have to enter a war of attrition. In this way, a lot of spiritual power is consumed, and there may be casualties in the end. Once that happens, even if the big snake can be successfully killed, then whether the team that consumes a lot of spiritual power and has to carry the injured can safely get out of this Thousand Cloud Mountain is a big problem.
