Chapter 5 Nameless Cave, Snake Jiao Hide
"Master, master, why do I have to stay in such an igloo every day, I want to go out and see how other seasons are different from winter. Do they also have snow, but the book says that the flowers bloom in spring, the cicadas in summer, the autumn leaves are golden, what are the flowers, what are the cicadas, the leaves are not green, how can they become golden?"
"Ye Qi, you are a fire-burning physique, and you must cultivate the Nine Returns Cold Tide Technique to compete with the Cold Tide of Heaven and Earth. The fire in the air in spring, summer and autumn is vigorous, which will fuel the fire in your body, and the cold wave of the Nine Returns cannot be suppressed, and to practice the Nine Returns Cold Wave Technique, it is best to choose a place where the cold air is extremely heavy. ”
"Master, master, you haven't told me yet, what is a flower, what is a cicada, and why do the leaves turn yellow?"
"These things, when you practice the Nine Returns Cold Wave Technique and can go out for a walk, you will naturally know about it. ”
"Master, master, I know, I will definitely practice the Nine Returns Cold Tide Technique. ”
"A cold place. Ye Qi was thinking about what happened when he was a child, and at the same time looking for a suitable place to break through. Although it is winter, the cold air is not evenly distributed, since it is for a breakthrough, of course, it is best to find a place where the cold is thick.
He has cultivated the Nine Returns Cold Wave Technique, and has a keen perception of the cold between heaven and earth, which is also the basis for finding.
Ye Qijiao's strength was not slow, and at the end of the day, Shi Weishan was left behind, and only saw faint black spots. But the ideal shady and cold location has never been found.
When night falls, it is difficult to walk at night.
Ye Qi is not afraid of wild beasts, but he also doesn't want to do things with half the effort. So he picked an open flat land, collected firewood and prepared to spend the night. In the cold winter, travelers gather around the fire to keep warm, but for Ye Qi, the function of this bonfire is only to cook food and let him sleep well.
The fire burns brighter and brighter, and the night burns darker and darker.
Catching prey and fighting with monks is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket. After a while, Ye Qi's two-edged green steel sword picked up a wild boar and returned easily.
On the "crackling" firewood pile, a cleaned pork leg exudes aroma, and the grease dripping from time to time on it soaks the roast meat into a shiny shine.
The smell of food aroused the appetite of the beasts in the forest, but their keen instincts told them that the boy sitting on the sidelines, quietly fueling the pyre, was in great danger, because they sensed the smell of death in him.
Ye Qi didn't care about a few more guys who ate and drank, the wild boar was huge, he could fill his stomach with one leg, and the extra food made him a little troubled. But whether it is just finishing a monk or killing a wild boar, the smell of blood on his body cannot subside for the time being, and it seems that those trembling little beasts in the forest dare not approach.
For food, Ye Qi had an innate ability, perhaps he had cultivated himself during the years in the Sword Immortal Hall of Shiwei Mountain.
There are only two people in the Sword Immortal Palace, Junzifeng and Ye Qi, Junzifeng's cultivation has reached the Great Sword Immortal, and food is just a distant past for him. For Xiao Yeqi, eating food cooked in a gentleman's style is also a painful memory.
Sprinkled with minty scented green leaves, the pork leg is rolled over and the aroma of the meat comes to your nose.
Looking at the yellow and clear color, Ye Qi couldn't help but have a great appetite. Without waiting for the heat to subside, he bit down the tendon of his leg, and the smoked white gas escaped from his mouth and rose into the air. couldn't wait to open and close and chew, Ye Qi's eyes lit up, and his face showed a satisfied look.
Peppermint leaves not only eliminate the greasy taste of pork that has not yet dripped out, but also hide the original fishy taste of pork, and even if there are no other condiments, it will make people have an endless aftertaste.
After eating and drinking, Ye Qi made a nest with heaven and earth, lay down, and began to rest.
Without the addition of firewood, the swaying flames in the bonfire became smaller and smaller, and the originally illuminated aperture shrank again and again.
At this time, the sound of "rustling" came from the forest, what was it touching the grass?
Ye Qi slept soundly, and the cold tide true qi in his body suddenly turned, and was aroused by the cold approaching outside his body. He opened his eyes suddenly, only to feel a chill on the back of his neck, a small pimple, and hurriedly put his fingers into claws to reach the back of his neck.
It's slippery to get into, and it's still struggling with coolness. Ye Qi pinched again before he stopped moving.
"It's actually a snake, how can there be a snake in winter?" Ye Qi was surprised when he saw what had attacked him.
The snake belongs to the yin, and the place that likes the tide, cold and damp, although it is dirty and smelly, is it not the breakthrough place that you are looking for?
Since there are snakes nearby, there must be a nest of snakes. Ye Qi made up his mind, he didn't sleep anymore, picked up the two-edged green steel sword with one hand, and took the newly lit torch from the fire with the other, illuminated the way ahead, followed the possible direction, and began to search.
Ye Qi held the torch and walked hundreds of meters deeper into the jungle. The bright light of the bonfire behind him was finally gone, but he didn't give up, because through the cold wave true qi, he could sense that the cold qi in front was getting heavier and heavier, and he wanted to get closer and closer to the snake's nest.
I don't know how far I went, the original dense forest gradually disappeared, and Ye Qi's eyes suddenly opened up, and a black cave appeared!
The cave is three zhang high, and moss is attached to it, which shows that it is a cold and damp place. Under the light of the fire, the strange stone raised at the top of the cave entrance is slightly grandiose, like a monster with teeth and jaws, about to devour people.
There is wind in the cave, with a fishy smell, and it is a little choking on the face, but you can smell that it is indeed a snake's nest. The cold tide true qi in Ye Qi's body also reacted again, proving that it was in the right place.
Walking into the cave and stepping on the slippery ground, Ye Qi was careful with every step.
Even if the torches could illuminate the surrounding area, there was more darkness ahead, thick like thick ink that could not be dissolved. Only the sound of his own footsteps and the sound of "ticking and ticking" water, Ye Qi's heart was a little hairy, and it was even more strange that he hadn't encountered a single snake in this snake's nest.
It's okay, it's already okay, the cold qi here is enough for me to cultivate the Nine Returns Cold Tide Technique, and I don't have to go any further.
Ye Qi kept telling himself in his heart that his goal had been achieved. But I couldn't help but step forward under my feet, thinking about it. As he went deeper and deeper, the flames on his torches began to tremble and could be extinguished at any moment.
The situation in the cave has changed again, it is no longer spacious, it is winding, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and in the faint light of the cave wall in front of it, something emits fluorescent light, which seems hazy.
Ye Qi leaned forward, reached out and took it, put it in his palm to check, and his heart suddenly jumped. Where is the glowing ore, it turned out to be a piece of snake scales, about the size of the palm of the hand, and the strange lines on it actually converged into a grimace, which was indescribably weird.
There are monsters in the cave?! With my current cultivation, it would be better to retreat first.
Just when Ye Qi decided to give up going deeper, a loud noise suddenly came from the depths of the cave, and the exclamations of the people made him slow down.
"Bang!" "It's not good, it's awake, speed solves." ”
Someone was killed! That was his first reaction. Save, you can't see death without saving. Ye Qi knew that there might be a giant snake inside, and the firelight would attract its attention, so he extinguished the torch in his hand, pulled out the two-bladed green steel sword, and quickly rushed to the deepest part of the cave.
In the deepest part, a hill suddenly shook, crackling and shaking down the stone oak dust, embedded with countless blue-gray scales, and under the glow emitted, it was even more transformed into a thousand strange grimaces, exactly the same as what Ye Qi had discovered before.
At this time, a relatively small mountain bag rises from the hill, followed by a huge snake head. It turned out that this hill was actually a huge snake body, and the hill bag was the single horn on the top of its head.
As the saying goes, a ten-year snake, a hundred-year-old dragon, and a thousand-year-old dragon. Although the horn of this giant snake is not yet fully formed, it cannot be called a snake, but should be called a snake.
The eyes of the snake Jiao are like two big yellow lanterns, which are particularly conspicuous in the cave where the five fingers are missing, and the two vertical eyes in the eyes look downward. Below it, two men in black looked panicked. "Quick, let's shoot together, don't let it fully recover!"
"Shhh This black gas is the poison contained in its body, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary monks will inevitably die if they are touched.
"Duh!" the tall man in black struck first. His hands suddenly burst into red light, shining like two small suns. "The sun is like fire!"
Two fireballs like substance, facing the snake Jiao, parted the poisonous mist, and hit the edge of the jaw, making a loud "bang!" sound. "Snake King, don't keep your hands any longer, solve it quickly, otherwise no one will get any benefits!"
The thin man in black next to him shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and his tone was sharp and flirtatious, like a woman's voice. "Yo yo, don't worry, your true flame trick is too domineering, don't spoil my little baby. ”
His eyes looked directly at the snake Jiao, not only was he not afraid of impatience, but he was shining strangely, as if he was looking at a beloved treasure.
Feng Yan cursed in his mouth, and jumped to the side of the rock wall to dodge the attack of the snake Jiao's head. "If you don't do it again, wait for the body of this ghost scale Jiao to recover, then I don't care about you, it's a big deal!"
As he spoke, the hill under the head of the ghost scale Jiao shook even more, and the grimace that was still a little hazy became more and more obvious.
Seeing that Feng Yan was embarrassed, the snake monarch stopped laughing. The moment he grabbed the ghost scale Jiao and poked its head out to attack, its figure moved, and it traveled a distance like a ghost, appearing above its head.
"You help me restrain its head, don't let it move, I'll cast a spell!"
When Feng Yan heard this, the fire in his hands became even stronger, and his arms were folded together and swung to his side. Run all the true flame and true qi, and gather the palms of both hands.
"Yanlong Double Chain!" The two fiery red burning chains actually stretched out of their palms out of thin air, and the longer they probed, they reached the head of the ghost scale Jiao, and entangled with each other. Feng Yan took a few steps back, pulling the Yanlong double chain straight, and his face was even redder under the firelight.
"Hurry up, my true qi won't last long. ”
At the same time that the Snake Monarch and Feng Yan briefly restrained the Ghost Scale Jiao, Ye Qi also arrived from the cave, and when he happened to see the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. What a terrible snake, no, the horn on its head is about to arch out, and it is about to turn into a dragon. These two people are so powerful that they can actually restrain it.
This is the magic trick! He saw the Yanlong double chain in Feng Yan's hand controlling the snake's head, and his eyes shrank.
These two chains of fire must be magic tricks condensed with true qi. can use magic tricks, and the cultivation of this person in front of him is at least threefold!
Although Ye Qi had never seen it, he had read a wide range of books in the past ten years, so he naturally knew the division of monks well.
Cultivating the trick to the third level, and beginning to be able to use the trick moves initially, also means that the advantages and disadvantages of the trick are gradually obvious. The true qi consumed by the magic moves is huge, and no one will use it lightly until the critical moment.
The person who controls the head of the snake Jiao is so powerful, so the one standing on the head of the snake is not weak, but his own mind is hot to follow, if he is caught by Yu **, he is only afraid of shedding his skin.
Thinking of this, Ye Qi began to grope for the passage, intending to take advantage of the stalemate to return the same way. At this time, a blue light in the corner of his eye attracted his attention.
