Chapter 45: Epic Joke from Hell
The ground was littered with severed snake trunks, some of which were still twisting.
Ye Xingzhou's clothes were also stained with snake blood, and the worms were wriggling violently, obviously stimulated by the smell of blood.
Ye Xingzhou didn't want to become a meal for insects, so he took off his outer clothes and found a cleaner place to sit cross-legged and meditate waiting for dawn.
At daybreak, the snakes and insects gradually calmed down.
Ye Xingzhou discovered that the insect river seemed to have widened by a few inches.
Last night, the width of the ground and the Worm River was clearly not much different.
At the rate at which the insects crawl, the ground will be completely covered within a day.
Ye Xingzhou tried to set a piece of clothing on fire and threw it into the Insect River.
In the area that was on fire, the river of insects was wriggling wildly, and then gradually became silent as the fire spread.
Clouds of black smoke rose.
The black sticky worms looked dead.
As the fire gradually died down, an incredible scene happened.
The insects secreted a layer of mucus from their bodies, and some of the insects that were burned in half actually split into two and continued to wriggle.
These bugs couldn't be burned to death, and there were even twice as many as before.
Ye Xingzhou was shocked.
He needs to get into the cave quickly.
If it was any later, he would probably have become a meal for the adult insects.
Snakes do not like light and are not very active during the day.
So, Ye Xingzhou groped his way back to the cave again.
This glance surprised him.
The giant python's body, which was intact yesterday, was now covered with wounds, its hard scales were scattered everywhere, and several small snakes were gnawing on its tender flesh.
Last night, the group of small snakes swarmed over to the giant python in order to eat it.
The small snake eats the big snake.
The giant python never opened its eyes from beginning to end and had no intention of resisting at all.
A fifth-level spirit beast is so weak?
But he can't be so weak that he doesn't even have the strength to fight back against the little snake, right?
Ye Xingzhou observed for a while, holding the fourth-grade Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand, and took a tentative step to bypass the snake's head and enter the cave.
The moment one foot stepped into the cave, the giant python moved.
The giant python's dark green vertical pupils stared at Ye Xingzhou's movements, and its tongue spitted out of its mouth.
It seemed that if Ye Xingzhou took another step inside, the giant python would open its mouth and eat him.
Ye Xingzhou's heart was beating fast.
The two sides confronted each other, and finally Ye Xingzhou withdrew his foot as if nothing had happened.
The giant python then closed its eyes again.
It seems that the giant python is guarding the opportunity in the cave.
Level three spirit beasts have consciousness, level four spirit beasts understand human language, and level five spirit beasts can speak human language.
Since the python does not initiate an attack, there is room for negotiation.
Ye Xingzhou raised his sword and cut off the small snakes that were gnawing at the giant python's flesh.
The giant python half-opened its eyelids and stared at Ye Xingzhou with its vertical pupils.
"Brother Python, long time no see, do you still remember me? When we were little, you played in the egg, and I played at my house."
Facing those huge green eyes, especially the snake eyes, the oppression was invisible and suffocating, but it did not prevent Ye Xingzhou from smiling playfully.
The giant python stared at Ye Xingzhou, who was wrapped like a ball, in silence.
Ye Xingzhou took off one of his outer shirts and set it on fire, then skewered the snake meat with his sword and started roasting it.
"Brother Mang, I've known for so many years that you like this. This barbecue tastes so delicious. Don't be polite."
"Come and try it to see if my cooking skills have improved."
Ye Xingzhou handed the roasted snake meat to the giant python's mouth.
Is it polite to serve snake meat to a snake?
The giant python's green eyes are dark.
"What you just roasted are my descendants."
“…”
An epic joke from hell.
Ye Xingzhou slammed the table and stood up, "How can descendants be so unfilial!"
"Eating the flesh and blood of our ancestors! You deserve to be killed!"
The giant python stuck out its tongue, which made Ye Xingzhou feel guilty.
In a place unknown to the giant python, he also killed more than a dozen of his descendants.
In the end, the python ate the offspring.
Eating it means we can discuss it further.
Ye Xingzhou pointed at the flooding river of insects and said, "Brother Python, what's going on with this river of insects?"
"Seven-day cycle, this is the sixth day."
"Seven-day reincarnation?"
Perhaps because it had been lonely for too long, the giant python began to narrate in a hoarse human language.
"This insect is called the Indestructible. It is immortal and will reincarnate every seven days. It will cover the bottom of the valley and devour everything."
Ye Xingzhou was stunned. "Does it include spiritual energy?"
"Um."
No wonder the fifth-level giant python is so weak.
One cycle is seven days. How long would it take for the fifth-level giant python to be devoured and become as weak as it is now?
"and you……"
"A hundred years, maybe a thousand years, I can't remember."
Ye Xingzhou: "How did Immortality appear?"
This time the python did not answer, but asked back.
"Don't you remember?"
"What should I remember?"
Ye Xingzhou was puzzled, "Did you know me before?"
The giant python's pupils flickered, but it did not give a direct answer.
"The Spirit Snake Clan has inherited memories. As long as the soul imprint remains unchanged, I will always protect my mission."
The giant python did not say what its mission was, and Ye Xingzhou knew better than to ask.
He sat down next to the giant python and asked, "Have you ever thought about getting out of the Endless Abyss?"
"not yet."
If you don't leave the abyss, death will come sooner or later.
Since the python has made its choice, he will respect it.
Not to mention, when you look closely at the python's two big eyes, they really look like jade.
Ye Xingzhou sat quietly with the giant python for a while.
Immortality has spread to a distance of one meter from the giant python.
"Go ahead, you will find opportunities in the cave by yourself." After saying this, the giant python closed its vertical pupils again.
"good."
Ye Xingzhou fed the giant python some repair pills and left behind a pile of spiritual fruits and a top-grade spiritual stone.
The giant python did not make things difficult for him. He had to pay the price for taking advantage of the opportunity in the cave.
The spiritual power contained in the top-grade spirit stone is enough to sustain the giant python for a hundred years.
Before entering the cave, Ye Xingzhou said goodbye.
"Brother Python, see you next time."
The giant python raised its eyelids and took a last look at the person who entered the cave.
The cave is not damp.
With the help of the light from the spirit stone, Ye Xingzhou could clearly see the layout inside.
This is a very simple cave with water on one side and dry land on the other.
There are blurry murals on the walls.
Ye Xingzhou wiped off the dust and looked carefully.
The content of the mural is roughly about a man fighting with four strange-looking beasts. In the end, the beasts are defeated and sealed by humans.
The last mural is probably a formation.
Ye Xingzhou continued to walk deeper along the shore.
Then, he saw the formation on the mural.
On the circular platform, red lines are intertwined, and in the magic circle, sword energy is surging, and the place where the sword is inserted is empty.
Suddenly, a crack appeared at the center of the formation, and wisps of black air were overflowing and fighting with the Tiangang Qi.
Where is the sword at the center of the formation?
Next to the formation was a skeleton that had died in sitting position.
Even though the lines on his face have long been shriveled, his body still sits upright, and one can still see the righteousness and awe-inspiring demeanor he had in his lifetime.
This skeleton should be the person in the mural.
After Ye Xingzhou cleaned up the dust around him, he took out three incense sticks and lit them.
"Grandmaster, please accept my respects."
Pray more often, you will never suffer any loss.
A jade brocade box fell to the ground.
There is a flame-shaped mark on the mouth of the jade brocade box. It cannot be opened by force and requires a special method.
Ye Xingzhou put the jade box into the storage bag.
The rest of the way, we can only rely on the river.
Ye Xingzhou took out the water-repellent beads and jumped into the deep water.
[Ding, Mission 2 completed.]
