Chapter 18: The Red-scaled Blood Python
Looking at the row of red snake scales in front of him, Ye Chuchen's forehead was already overflowing with sweat.
Forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, Ye Chuchen slowly moved to the side of the wall and leaned against it.
With a long exhalation, his eyes looked at the red scales again, and Ye Chuchen's body trembled uncontrollably again.
At this time, he could clearly see that the thing in front of him was not a stone pillar or something, but a giant snake covered with red scales.
It's just that Ye Chuchen can only see part of the giant snake now, because the body of this snake is really amazing, and the part of the body seen in front of him alone is higher than Ye Chuchen's head, and looking along the snake body, the snake head and snake tail can't be seen.
Ye Chuchen had cold sweat on his forehead, moving carefully, with a hint of surprise in addition to fear!
It stands to reason that in such a deep cave, it is generally dark and mushy, and the surprising Ye Chuchen is now in the cave, as if he is outside the cave, he can see everything clearly.
If there are some small holes in this cave that can shoot light, then this phenomenon is still in the past, but after looking for a long time, except for the solid stone walls around it, Ye Chuchen found nothing, which inevitably makes people feel incredible.
With a worried heart, Ye Chuchen carefully climbed on top of a stone pillar and looked down, and at this time, he could also see the entire giant snake in his eyes.
At this time, with his hand on the stone pillar, Ye Chuchen slowed down his breathing, he didn't see it clearly just now, but now he looked at the entire giant snake, not only a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but also a touch of surprise.
Right now, the serpent coiled, circling from the inside out, and in the center, a larger, reddish wooden fish-like head rested quietly on top of a part of its body.
The whole body of the snake is covered with bright red scales, and the further you go, the lighter the color of the scales, extending from the head of the snake to the tail of the snake.
Red-scaled blood python!
Ye Chuchen's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he looked at the entire snake, and he also faintly guessed in his heart.
Although Ye Chuchen's cultivation qualifications among the disciples of Shushan were not very good, his memory was first-class.
He once read a book about ancient strange beasts in the library of Shushan, and in that book there was a slight mention of a giant python with red scales.
According to the book, the red-scaled blood python is an animal that looks like a snake but is not actually a snake. Because it looks like a snake, and its body is extraordinarily large when it becomes an adult, coupled with the red scales the size of a palm, it has the name of the blood python.
If it is not a snake, it is because after the red-scaled blood python reaches adulthood, it will hide in the deep cave of the mountain and condense a bead called the Gathering Spirit Blood Bead. Once the beads are condensed and formed, the red-scaled blood python will shed large scales on its body and grow some extremely tiny scales that cover its body, and the color of the scales is still red.
In addition to this change, the red-scaled blood python with small blood scales can grow larger and smaller on its own, and on their heads, a pair of small horns will be born, which looks very similar to the ancient legend of the dragon, so this is also the reason why people do not classify him as a snake in ancient books.
It's just that the red-scaled blood python is only recorded in ancient books, but no one has really seen it for thousands of years. After a long time, the red-scaled blood python was also known as an ancient spirit animal.
And the current giant python, whether in terms of appearance or body, is almost exactly the same as the adult blood python recorded in ancient books, without any difference.
When encountering this kind of thing, I'm afraid that as long as it is a person, it can't help but be shocked.
Looking at the body of the giant python, Ye Chuchen's eyebrows raised slightly, in fact, he was not sure whether the thing in front of him was a red-scaled python.
It's just that he is very strange, if it is really an ancient spirit beast red-scaled blood python, then how can it appear in the mountains behind Shu Mountain.
Thinking about it, Ye Chuchen's eyes showed a hint of aura, and he only thought of one possibility for the situation in front of him.
The giant python in front of him is likely to be the ancient spirit beast red-scaled python, as for why it is within the range of Shu Mountain, there is only one possibility, that is, the giant python is now an adult, and it is in the critical period of condensing the spirit blood beads.
The aura on Shu Mountain is extremely rich, and choosing to condense blood beads in the cave in the back mountain will not only not be disturbed by the outside world, but also the time for condensation will be greatly shortened.
Thinking like this, Ye Chuchen took a breath again, if it was really as it thought, it seemed that the giant python in front of him was undoubtedly an ancient spirit beast red-scaled blood python, because only spirit beasts had the spiritual wisdom that humans generally have.
It's just that Ye Chuchen still has a question, a body as big as a giant python will definitely be discovered if he wants to enter the land of Shu Mountain, but now it seems that including the head of Shu Mountain and those elders, they don't seem to know that there is a huge blood python in the back mountain.
With such an analysis, Ye Chuchen could only come up with one answer, the giant python should have existed in Shushan a long time ago.
Although I don't know when it was, at least before Ethereal Lingzi and the others entered Shu Mountain, it was even higher......
