"Brother Zhao!" Yun Yan shouted. Zhao Fang threw an ice cone at Yun Yan. The ice cone hit the earth wall created by Xu Qingyang and broke into ice flakes. The ice flakes splashed in all directions and crossed the barrier. The translucent barrier was clearly marked with scratches.

"Brother! Wake up! I am your brother!" Xu Qingyang shouted anxiously.

"It's useless. He can't hear now." Ning Helan observed Zhao Fang's situation. She had a feeling that he seemed to be in a much more serious condition than Xu Qingyang before.

Xu Qingyang gritted his teeth. He couldn't attack his junior fellow apprentice, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Helan rushing out with the sword he had just used in his hand. He panicked: "Ning Helan, don't do anything rash!"

Although the heavy fog affected Ning Helan's vision to a certain extent, it was still very easy to deal with Zhao Fang who had no independent consciousness. In a few moves, Xu Qingyang saw Zhao Fang being knocked to the ground by Ning Helan.

"Junior brother!"

"Senior brother Zhao!"

Xu Qingyang and Yun Yan hurried over and saw Zhao Fang lying on the ground. Xu Qingyang turned him over and saw that Zhao Fang's face was ashen and his breathing was weak.

"Ning Helan, you were too heavy-handed!" Xu Qingyang said angrily.

"I only touched him lightly." Ning Helan felt innocent.

Xu Qingyang rolled his eyes at him. He saw clearly how hard you tried just now. He reached out and patted Zhao Fang's face: "Zhao Fang, Zhao Fang."

"Senior Brother Xu, something is not right. Why is Senior Brother Zhao's breath so weak?" Yun Yan said worriedly. Suddenly, he saw something crawling on Zhao Fang's chest. He reached out and lifted it. A big bulge appeared on Zhao Fang's chest.

The bulge seemed to be frightened and moved quickly toward Zhao Fang's back.

"How can there be such a big bulge?" Yun Yan was very surprised. Xu Qingyang turned Zhao Fang's body over again. As soon as the bulge noticed the movement outside, it quickly disappeared in the dark place on Zhao Fang's body.

Ning Helan squatted down and checked Zhao Fang's condition: "He is in a bad condition. We need to get the things out of his body quickly."

So Xu Qingyang held Zhao Fang down, Ning Helan raised the sword, and after her eyes caught the movement of the bulge, she raised her sword and swung it, almost instantly picking out the things under the bulge.

However, she didn't expect that this snake would be much larger than the one in Xu Qingyang's body, and when it was picked out, some blood and flesh came out.

The snake was covered with a layer of mucus. Although it was pierced by the sword, it was still alive. It twisted its body and tried to escape. It stood up and opened its mouth to bite Ning Helan. Fortunately, Ning Helan reacted quickly, threw the snake to the ground with her backhand, and then hit it on the head with another sword.

The snake sprang up and twisted its body in pain for a few times, then its body became stiff and stopped moving.

A closer look revealed that the snake was even as long as a forearm. Yun Yan beside him was still wondering how such a big snake could be put into a human body. The next second, Ning Helan used a sword to slash the belly of the small snake, and then a lot of bright red blood flowed out of the snake's belly.

"This is all human blood..." Ning Helan squatted down and said.

"Is this Senior Brother Zhao's blood?" Yun Yan was surprised.

If Ning Helan guessed correctly, the snake should have been very small originally, and after absorbing blood in the human body, it quickly expanded to its current size. If it stayed in the human body for a while, it would probably suck all the blood out of the human body.

"Junior brother, junior brother, wake up!" Xu Qingyang called Zhao Fang's name anxiously, but Zhao Fang didn't move at all. He stretched out his hand to feel his breath, which was still very weak. "Junior brother, junior brother Zhao!"

Ning Helan looked at Zhao Fang. The place where the snake was taken out just now was not big. Although there was some bleeding, it stopped quickly. However, Zhao Fang's face was ashen and his lips were pale.

He reached out and touched his forehead, which was hot.

"Junior brother, what's the matter? Why didn't he wake up after the snake was taken out?"

"He is more seriously ill than you."

Ning Helan knew that dawdling here would not solve any problems. The source must be solved first.

Xu Qingyang carried Zhao Fang on his back and led the way. Soon, several people came to the main hall of Linglan Temple.

The main hall of the Taoist temple, which was supposed to be solemn and dignified, now looked lifeless, and it exuded a strong evil aura from inside to outside, the most obvious smell of which was the smell of hooked snakes.

"I saw Master and that monster here before." Xu Qingyang said.

Ning Helan reached out and tried to touch it, and it seemed that there was no barrier here.

The three of them walked stealthily to the window, which was tightly closed, so they gently opened it a crack.

The hall was very dark, empty and there was nothing.

"There is nothing in it..." Ning Helan said.

"Impossible." Xu Qingyang also leaned over to look at the hall, and then his face changed, "No, that's not right... I just saw that it was all... all..."

"What is it?"

"... Snake eggs."

"Snake eggs?"

Ning Helan was still thinking about why there were snake eggs in the hall, and heard Yun Yan exclaimed: "Look, there is a hole in it!"

So Ning Helan looked in from the window again. The light inside was too dark just now, and his vision was limited. He did not notice that there was a big hole on the left side of the hall.

This hole seemed to have just appeared here. The three walked to the hole and looked down. This gave Ning Helan goosebumps.

There was an open space below, and above the open space stood many oval eggs. These eggs emitted a faint green light, and from time to time, you could see something inside the eggs.

Ning Helan didn't see clearly at first glance, but when she looked carefully, she found that the things in the eggs were all human beings, and from the edges of the shadows inside, the clothes they wore were much longer than normal clothes.

The only people who wear long clothes in a place like this are the Taoists in the Taoist temple.

"The snake has locked all the Taoists in Linglan Temple in eggs? Is the hooked snake going to... hatch them?" Yun Yan covered his mouth in surprise.

Xu Qingyang looked at the eggs with a sad expression: "I was also shocked when I saw them... I lost consciousness before I understood what happened here."

Ning Helan squatted down. There were many snake eggs on the open space, at least more than 30. It seemed that all the Taoists in Linglan Temple were here.

Just when he was about to go down to take a look, he saw a person walking over.

"Brother Hu You?" Yun Yan called out in a low voice.

Hu You walked to a snake egg, stretched out his hand and placed it outside the snake egg. The snake egg flickered and lit up, and then a stream of light passed through Hu You's palm and into his body.

Hu You closed his eyes, and only opened his eyes after the stream of light traveled all over his body. The snake egg in front of him dimmed, and then gradually dried up and shrank, and finally turned into a pile of black powder, which broke into pieces with a slight touch.

As for the person inside, he had already turned into ashes.

Ning Helan frowned. If he was not mistaken, was it absorbing the essence of the person in the snake egg?

Yun Yan and Xu Qingyang's pupils trembled, and their expressions were shocked and terrified. As disciples of the upright Taoist school, they would never do such a thing that would harm others and benefit themselves, let alone absorb the life essence of a living person.

Just as Hu You was walking towards the next snake egg, something flew from a distance and hit him in the face. Hu You raised his hand to block it and caught the flying object. He

opened his palm and saw that it was just a small stone.

Hu You looked in the direction where the stone flew from and happened to see Ning Helan jumping down from it.

"Ning Helan?" Hu You threw the stone in his hand away. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Has your ability degenerated to this point? Attack me with a stone?"

"I don't need any high-end magic to attack you." Ning Helan retorted.

Hu You was ridiculed, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He pulled out the Seven Star Sword from behind. The Seven Star Sword made a buzzing sound, and the sword body flashed and flashed with light, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark.

Hu You quickly rushed towards Ning Helan. The light here was not good. Although Ning Helan avoided Hu You's attacks several times, it seemed to be more difficult.

Xu Qingyang and Yun Yan didn't know that Ning Helan was night blind, but they were just surprised that his movements were different from those on the ground, and were obviously much slower.

After several clashes, Ning Helan's clothes at the arm were torn by the Seven Star Sword.

Hu You snorted coldly: "Ning Helan, where is your arrogance from the past few days?"

Ning Helan did not respond. He shook his hands. It was really disadvantageous for him to be in such a place with poor lighting.

Yun Yan was anxious watching from the side. On one side was Ning Helan, and on the other side was his senior brother. He could not help either of them. He felt like he was stuck in a dilemma.

Hu You quickly noticed that something was wrong with Ning Helan. He first hid in the dark, then quietly approached Ning Helan's blind spot, and then quickly flashed out with a sword.

Ning Helan was repelled and hit the wall behind with a thud, making a dull sound. Hu You took advantage of the victory and attacked again, stabbing Ning Helan's fatal spot with every move.

Finally, he forced Ning Helan into a corner, pointed the sword at Ning Helan's heart, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Die!"

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, Hu You's attack was blocked. The Seven Star Sword did not hit Ning Helan, but was blocked by a talisman paper. The glowing talisman paper was cut into two halves by the sword and slowly floated down from the air.

Hu You looked at the talisman paper falling to the ground with cold eyes, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Yun Yan: "Yun Yan, you are so bold that you dare to interfere with me?!"

Yun Yan's heart trembled. He knew that he was no match for Hu You, but he still said with a stiff face: "Brother Hu, stop fighting."

Hu You stared at Yun Yan with a fierce expression: "Brother Yun Yan, the real person asked you to follow, but you didn't come to help me, did you?"

Yun Yan didn't dare to say a word. Hu You's Seven Star Sword turned in his hand, and a sword energy chopped towards Yun Yan.

Yun Yan and Xu Qingyang dodged hurriedly. Xu Qingyang carried Zhao Fang on his back and had to move slowly. He was knocked over by the sword energy of the Seven Star Sword, and Zhao Fang also fell to the ground.

Ning Helan looked up at the two people over there. He didn't expect Hu You to kill his fellow apprentice. Hu You

approached that place with a sword in hand. Yun Yan shouted, "Brother Hu, what are you going to do? Aren't we brothers?"

"Brothers? Haha." Hu You said with a fake smile, "It is precisely because you are always trapped in these illusory relationships that you can never cultivate the right way."

Yun Yan didn't expect Hu You to say such a thing. He was so angry that his eyes turned red: "Brother..."

Hu You rushed over quickly and fired another sword energy at the people who fell to the ground. The sword energy was so fierce that it made an explosion after hitting the ground. Yun Yan, Xu Qingyang and Zhao Fang were all knocked away and hit the wall behind them.

Hu You wanted to attack again, but his back suddenly felt cold. He turned his head and was knocked to the ground by a punch. Then another punch, and another punch, fell like raindrops. Hu You had no time to react and was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.

After a few consecutive punches, Hu You's nose and face were already bruised and swollen, and there was a lot of blood on his face. Ning Helan's fists also had a lot of blood, and it looked like he had hit him very hard.

Ning Helan stood up with a slight breath, looking at Hu You who was paralyzed on the ground. He should have attacked directly physically early, and gave Hu You a chance to hurt Yun Yan and the others.

Hu You laughed twice, wiped the corners of his mouth, and muttered something in his mouth. Suddenly, a translucent barrier appeared around them, and Ning Helan found that they had been trapped in the barrier.

Looking back at Hu You again, his body gradually became transparent, and then the whole person disappeared in front of Ning Helan.

Suddenly, Ning Helan suffered a heavy blow in the abdomen. Ning Helan bent down involuntarily, and then was punched in the chin again. The whole person lost balance and fell backwards. With another kick in the chest, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
