Chapter 18: Fighting the Python
After Xiao Haotian got the information he wanted, he felt relieved. He took a few pieces of roasted meat and left.
Ouyang Ruochen said that he wanted to go his separate ways tomorrow. Zhong Ling'er blinked her big eyes and asked, "Big Brother, if someone comes to ask us about the eighth-grade talisman tomorrow, will we answer like this?"
After that, he sighed again and continued worriedly, "There will be a lot of people coming to ask questions tomorrow. I wonder if they will be as kind as Senior Brother Xiao. I heard that some people like to search souls. I wonder if the three of us can withstand it."
Ouyang Ruochen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Bai Luochen worriedly. However, Bai Luochen smiled faintly and touched Zhong Ling'er's head, "Don't worry, Second Senior Brother will protect you."
Seeing Ouyang Ruochen lowering his head in deep thought, Zhong Ling'er sighed secretly. Second Senior Brother is too proud. She hopes that the First Senior Brother can be more alert.
The next morning, several people went their separate ways. Zhong Ling'er still pulled Bai Luochen towards their goal.
She didn't know the location of the spiritual spring, but this secret realm was distributed according to the five elements. The water element should be next to the fire element, so it wouldn't be too far away.
The moisture in the jungle became thicker and thicker, and the white fog around gradually increased, but the spiritual sense could not penetrate it. However, the deeper we went, the clearer the sound of fighting became, and judging from the noise, there were quite a few people.
When she got closer, Zhong Ling'er saw that in this small area, there were three groups of people fighting with three green pythons respectively.
The ground was covered with gullies and blood, and there were several corpses lying on the ground. It was obvious that the fight had been going on for a while, and these people must have had a great opportunity to put so much effort into fighting the monsters.
Zhong Ling'er looked around and saw that the fog was getting thicker not far away, accompanied by a more refined spiritual energy. Although she couldn't see clearly what it was, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
Looking closely at these three groups, two of them are acquaintances.
Gu Yanze of Wuji Sect and several of his fellow apprentices were surrounding and killing the giant python with a bump on its head. The python was the largest in size, with a raging rage, and its body shook the earth.
However, under Gu Yanze's control, the giant python was arranged like a small snake. Two people restricted its movements, two people used swords to chop it, and two people suddenly threw explosive talismans. It was obviously being used as a sparring partner. Death was a matter of time, and its struggle was in vain.
The second group of people were from the Tianyu Sect. They surrounded and killed another dark green giant python of relatively large body. The person who had ill intentions towards the second senior brother at the entrance, that is, the chief of the Tianyu Sect, Li Senting, chopped the giant python with a few swords, causing its scales to fly and blood to splatter. Although the other disciples hacked at random, they were obviously not weak. The giant python should be not far from death.
The third group of people was unknown, but judging from their clothes, they should be independent cultivators. Although the five of them were dealing with the smallest python, they all had blood at the corners of their mouths, and the situation was obviously not optimistic.
Zhong Ling'er immediately ran over and shouted to them, "Fellow Daoists, please let us have some help. We only want the snake meat, and the rest is up to you."
The people were excited after hearing this. This was a giant python at the peak of the golden elixir stage. The most valuable parts were the inner elixir and the snake gallbladder, followed by the snake skin and bones. The snake meat was the least valuable.
After glancing at Bai Luochen who was following Zhong Ling'er, one of them immediately replied, "Just as you said, my friend. Please help me."
Zhong Ling'er glanced at the second senior brother. Bai Luochen touched her head and said calmly, "Just wait obediently."
After saying that, he drew his sword and stepped forward. The shocking sword energy immediately filled the air. After two strikes from the sword, the giant python let out a hissing sound. The two sword wounds on its body made it tremble constantly. Then Bai Luochen retreated and said to Zhong Ling'er and Ning Haoyu: "The rest is yours."
The two men made their declarations and immediately stepped forward with swords drawn. Although the giant python was seriously injured and its movements slowed down, it was not something they could easily shake.
Zhong Ling'er slashed at the giant python with her sword a few times and found that she couldn't break the python's defense at all. At most, she could only leave a white mark on its scales. The others couldn't do much damage either. How long would she keep killing like this? Was she going to tire the giant python to death?
He shook his head. It was impossible for it to die of exhaustion, but it could die from excessive blood loss. The wound left on its body by the second senior brother was still bleeding. If the wound could be enlarged and more blood could flow, it might die.
Zhong Ling'er thought she had found the trick and went straight for the giant python's wound. She couldn't cut the snake's scales, and she didn't believe she couldn't cut the snake's flesh either. Sure enough, with Zhong Ling'er's efforts, the giant python's wound became bigger and bigger.
Every move was aimed at the wound, which was a bit unethical. The giant python was originally targeting the most powerful Jindan man, and didn't take their tickling attacks seriously at all. But now it stared at Zhong Ling'er with a cold gaze, and then sprayed a large amount of venom at her.
"Danger!" Bai Luochen hurriedly tried to pull Zhong Ling'er away. Zhong Ling'er was also frightened. In a hurry, she habitually moved the venom into the round bead. It was not until she was pulled away that she realized what she had done. The round bead would not be poisoned.
Zhong Ling'er immediately went to check the condition of the bead and found that the venom was surrounded by a black water ball and suspended in the bead. Although it was not absorbed by the bead, it did not cause any effect on the bead. Only then did she feel relieved.
The giant python has been aroused by Zhong Ling'er's ferocity. It twitched its tail and threw several people away. Green light rose from its body, and it seemed that its inner elixir was about to explode.
Bai Luochen immediately drew his sword and stepped forward. A gorgeous sword light flashed, and the giant python's head flew ten meters away, and the green light dimmed.
This simple yet gorgeous sword made everyone's heart tremble. Although Bai Luochen's realm had fallen to the middle stage of the Golden Core, his comprehension of sword intent was deeper, and he could be said to be invincible in the Golden Core realm.
Zhong Ling'er's mind kept repeating the sword of her second senior brother. It was not a sword move, but sword intent. It was gorgeous, direct, yet complex and profound. It seemed to be formed by the confluence of seven or eight sword lights, but the force, speed and target were exactly the same. But why was there really only one sword?
She drew her sword and tried to swing it, but was slapped by Ning Haoyu, "Junior Sister, you want snake meat, why don't you move?"
Zhong Ling'er came back to her senses and saw that the men were already beginning to dismember the body, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take the rest away after they finish."
Turning around, he saw Second Senior Brother looking at Gu Yanze, so he followed over to watch the fun.
Seeing that one side had ended the fight, Gu Yanze threw out a talisman, and a spiritual iron fist fell from the sky and hit the giant python's head. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the giant python's huge body fell heavily to the ground.
Gu Yanze brushed his clothes, glanced at the dead giant python, and said to his fellow apprentices, "I still have to take action. Don't look at the snake gall, snake skin, and inner elixir. I don't need to teach you these."
