Chapter 46
To it, Liu Danchen and I may be just ordinary food, but Linglong, who is also a demon, can not only completely repair its injuries, but also help it further transform. So now it would rather endure a few more hits from my Red Lotus True Fire than come and eat us.
The sound of its scales scraping against the ground echoed in my ears, giving me goosebumps. I covered my ears tightly, trying to control my fear. The giant snake saw that I was afraid of it, lowered its head and spit out its tongue, saliva dripping onto my clothes, and then opened its bloody mouth to swallow Linglong and me whole.
Liu Danchen used all his strength to hold me and rolled to the side, leaving the giant snake with nothing to lose.
"Hiss!" When it failed to hit me, it dragged its huge body towards me, like a cat playing with a mouse.
I secretly hated myself for being at a loss when I saw the snake, otherwise Linglong and Liu Danchen would not have been so seriously injured. Now the three of us are going to be eaten by the snake.
Seeing the giant snake approaching me little by little, I closed my eyes and cast various spells, but my aim was too poor and I could smell the fishy odor on it.
It took another bite.
"Ah!" I happened to open my eyes at this moment, saw its fangs, and its throat let out a scream.
My eyes blurred, and when I could see clearly again, they had retreated a hundred meters away. I don’t know what force had teleported the three of us.
"Sister!" A child's voice came from behind me.
I turned around and saw that it was the disheveled ghost I met that time.
I didn't have time to thank him because the giant snake saw the food flying away from its mouth and became furious and rushed towards us quickly.
"Run!" I shouted at him.
I hugged Linglong and ran back, the disheveled ghost dragging Liu Danchen along behind me. We hadn't run far when the giant snake gave up chasing us. It hissed angrily at us, then quickly crawled back to guard the resurrection grass.
I breathed a sigh of relief and put Linglong on the ground. At this time, the shaggy-haired ghost was holding Liu Danchen. When he saw me put Linglong down, he also put Liu Danchen down.
"Thank you." I didn't expect that it was the disheveled ghost who saved us at the critical moment.
Looking at the unconscious Liu Danchen and Linglong, I felt so helpless.
"Sisters, are you going to get the resurrection grass?" said the disheveled ghost.
I nodded and asked, "Do you have any idea how to wake them both up?"
He had no other options, so he said, "We can only wait for them to recover on their own."
It’s all my fault for not being able to face the giant snake. I shed tears of cowardice.
"Sister, don't cry." He was not very good at comforting people, but I could feel his concern.
Liu Danchen coughed up blood, and the severe pain in his body woke him up. He looked at me crying, raised his hand with difficulty, and wiped my tears.
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, and a surge of courage suddenly rose within me. I was determined to get the Resurrection Herb back!
"Please take care of them for me, I'll be back soon." I said to the unkempt ghost.
"Sister, are you going alone?" he said.
"Um."
I took resolute steps and returned to the place where the resurrection grass was.
The giant snake saw me coming back and stood up, looking at me warily. I suppressed my fear and stared at it.
Its tail lashed towards me.
I knew the fire bell wouldn't have much effect on it, so I chanted: "Mighty Yang Yang, the sun rises in the east, the golden feathered arrow flies, and the evil will be slain immediately."
The feather stone immediately transformed into nine arrows and shot towards the giant snake.
I thought this would only repel the giant snake, but I'd underestimated the Feather Stone—or more precisely, underestimated the power of both myself and the Feather Stone. Before the snake's tail could even touch me, nine arrows instantly pinned it to the ground. No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape. The nine arrows shone with a blinding light, and the snake's body withered instantly. I could feel the Feather Stone absorbing its energy.
I quickly controlled the feather stone, which flickered before me, emitting a hint of reluctance. I communicated with it with my heart, soothing it, and it finally calmed down.
Looking at the giant snake before me, so invincible just a few minutes ago, now dead, it turns out that when I can face my fear, I have already conquered it. If I could break through my mental barrier earlier, Liu Danchen and Linglong would not have suffered such a serious injury.
I approached cautiously and saw the seven-leafed, fluorescent Resurrection Grass. Three Resurrection Fruit trees grew around it. I suppressed my greed and swiftly plucked one. However, as I plucked the Resurrection Grass, my finger slipped right through it. Unable to believe my eyes, I reached out again, and this time, I saw clearly that my hand had passed through it again. The Resurrection Grass was like an illusion: visible but untouchable.
What's going on?
I was stunned for a moment.
Just as I was lost in thought, the Feather Stone flew out again, a soft light illuminating the Resurrection Grass. The Resurrection Grass was breaking apart at the root, and I could clearly see that the Resurrection Grass had become more solid. When I tried to grab it again, it quietly fell into my hand. I had no idea why, but I just had to take it.
After getting these two items, I stood up and was about to go back when I suddenly saw a black bead fall out of the snake's body. Curious, I picked it up and held it up to the sun. It was a little cloudy. Could it be snake gall? I wasn't sure.
Why bother with so many things? I'll just take the beads and run to Liu Danchen and the others.
It didn't take long for the two to come back. The shaggy-haired ghost was squatting beside Linglong, watching over them. He was a little surprised to see me come back so soon, but when he saw what I had in my hand, his surprise turned into horror.
"Sister, did you succeed?"
"Um."
Liu Danchen heard our conversation, opened his eyes, and looked at me with a smile while suppressing the severe pain.
We moved Liu Danchen and Linglong to the shaggy-headed ghost's home. His home was beautiful, filled with brightly colored flowers, even more dazzling than his clothes. Among the flowers and plants were all kinds of small animals, which hid at the sound of my footsteps.
After we settled Liu Danchen and Linglong down, we sat in his yard. A butterfly flew over him and played with him.
Watching the fluttering butterflies, I suddenly thought of those densely packed caterpillars.
Bone-eating insects only eat human bones and are extremely evil and sinister. I wonder why they are afraid of the Red Lotus True Fire.
"Then do you know what this thing is?" I took out the black bead that fell from the giant snake.
"Huh?" The disheveled ghost took it, looked at it, and said, "This should be an inner elixir."
"Inner elixir?"
I thought it was a mutation of the snake's gallbladder, but it turned out to be its inner elixir. In this case, Linglong's injury will recover soon.
The disheveled ghost and I walked to Linglong's bed. She was still a fox, lying quietly on the bed.
I placed the giant snake's inner core in front of her mouth. Her whiskers moved like a cat, and then I saw the black bead being sucked into her mouth. Within a moment, her body began to grow larger, and finally transformed into a human form.
