There are many deep-water cold pools in the Jianjiang River, and when floods pass by, the river surface becomes undulating, giving it a more frightening color.
Seeing Dong Zhongshu's magical blue light finally sinking into a deep cold pool at the foot of the rocky mountain beside the river, Wen Weng couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"Then the Ba snake really lives in the flood?" Wen Weng said in disbelief: "Should we check again? After all, the Ba snake is not a fish. It has to breathe through its nostrils, so it is impossible to build its nest in the water!"
Exploring a deep cold pool is extremely difficult, and the most troublesome thing is the delay.
If another storm strikes, the snake may have finished digesting and come out to look for food again.
In that state, the Ba Snake is full of ferocity and even more difficult to deal with.
Wen Weng felt that Dong Zhongshu could use another technique to confirm.
"Based on the habits of living creatures, it is indeed impossible for the Ba snake to build its nest in the water, but..."
Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but also had a toothache.
Starting from the initial exploration location, they followed the magic blue light and walked for nearly an hour before finding their destination.
Dong Zhongshu didn't mind trying again, but he knew very well that the result of another attempt would be the same.
The location of the Feng Shui exploration is an important Feng Shui cave, and it is also a place where spiritual demons like to gather. However, Feng Shui is not a physiognomy that can be accurately checked. If a few rare big fish are found in this deep water cold pool, it will also be very dangerous. Something is possible.
"But the floods in the Jianjiang River may have submerged the snake's nest?"
When Dong Zhongshu asked Zhang Xuezhou for his opinion, Zhang Xuezhou could only give one possibility.
Dong Zhongshu's knowledge and knowledge are there. Even if Zhang Xuezhou uses the Feng Shui acupuncture technique, he will not be better than Dong Zhongshu. He will even be much worse than a Feng Shui novice like Dong Zhongshu.
The art of fixing people and fixing acupuncture points is the Xiangmen inheritance given by Hongku. This is something that is forbidden to be practiced in the Han Dynasty that follows the old system of the Qin Dynasty. Zhang Xuezhou does not dare to show it off at will.
He repeatedly waved his hands to indicate that he was incompetent. If everyone inquired, he would wait. If no one inquired, he hoped that Wen Weng could fulfill his previous promise and give him the medicinal ingredients of Bigu Powder.
"Then let's check it out!"
Although he has the highest level of cultivation, Weng Weng has poor means of detecting the whereabouts of Ba Snake and has to rely on the cooperation of Dong Zhongshu and Zhang Xuezhou.
Seeing that the attitudes of the two people were pointing to this Feng Shui acupuncture point, Wen Weng could only bite the bullet and go check it out.
"Zhang Shu went to fetch the bamboo basket, pig's blood, and hanging rope. He put the pig's blood and stones into the water as bait in the bamboo basket. Zhao Liang dived into the water to have a look. If he found anything, he quickly returned to the bamboo raft!"
Previously, the floods in the center of the river were turbulent and difficult to cross, but at the deep pool, the floods became much calmer.
A makeshift bamboo raft was propped up, and everyone got on the raft one after another.
"Aren't you going?" Dong Zhongshu asked, looking at Zhang Xuezhou who had never boarded the bamboo raft.
"It's unusual for me to turn into a stone on a bamboo raft. It's easy for snakes to see it. Besides, if the bamboo raft overturns while I'm asleep, wouldn't it be a big disaster for me to fall into the water?"
"You are too stable!"
Dong Zhongshu muttered.
But the destination of Feng Shui's acupoint exploration had been reached, and he did not force Zhang Xuezhou to go and explore together.
The group of people got on the bamboo raft, then used bamboo poles to prop it up, and kept leaning against the deep cold pool below the stone mountain.
The bamboo raft reached a deep cold pool, and a bamboo basket filled with pig blood and stones was thrown in. Zhao Liang carefully entered the water.
In the turbid flood, Zhao Liang's figure swayed for a few seconds and then sank into the water.
Standing on the bank of the Mianjiang River, Zhang Xuezhou looked at the people on the bamboo raft like little black dots.
The river surface here was wide and flat, and the water area of more than 300 meters wide did not appear particularly clear when he observed it.
But faintly, Zhang Xuezhou could only see a faint ripple on the river surface.
The ripples on the surface of a calm lake are almost imperceptible, just like the gentle breeze blowing on them.
"Is this situation in Jiang Mian normal or abnormal?"
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment, then waved and shouted twice to Dong Zhongshu and others in the distance.
When Dong Zhongshu waved his hand to indicate that he understood, Zhang Xuezhou squatted on the shore and waited.
This kind of not-so-interesting waiting made him a little dizzy, and his mind turned to thinking about what he had learned and how to use it, and where he would go in the future.
It wasn't until there was a sound like an explosion of explosives under the water that Zhang Xuezhou quickly came back to his senses.
In the deep cold pool where everyone was exploring, a giant head as big as a bucket emerged from the water. Then it fell and hit the water, causing the river to stir up waves.
On the stone mountain across the river, Dong Zhongshu and Wen Weng looked frightened. There was also Zhang Shu holding a crooked-necked tree and holding Zhao Liang, who was pulling the rope hard to swim to the shore.
"It seems to be unconscious. Come on..."
Before Wen Weng had finished speaking, the wind in Dong Zhongshu's hand had already picked up.
"Back off, back off!"
Thinking of Ba Snake's yin and yang eyesight, Dong Zhongshu also shouted when he performed the technique.
The Ba snake's habitat is indeed in this deep water, even crawling under their bamboo raft.
If Zhang Xuezhou's reminder hadn't made Dong Zhongshu more cautious, they would have been overturned by Ba Snake's huge body into the Mian River.
"His eyes actually recovered!"
When Dong Zhongshu looked at the Ba Snake's head, he couldn't help but feel frightened.
He held the magic weapon fan, and the wind spell that had been condensed for several seconds flew out like a knife, directly hitting the right eye that had been hit before.
Wen Weng was right, there was something wrong with this snake.
The opponent's movements were extremely slow, more like instinct was driving him. The bamboo basket filled with pig blood was swallowed by the snake, and because the traction rope was tied to the bamboo raft, the bamboo raft was also stuffed into his mouth.
This is like inserting a chopstick into a person's mouth, but the snake is still opening its mouth to swallow.
This is not the behavior of a normal creature.
Even Ba She didn't have enough response to his attack.
The wind blade hit the snake's eyeballs, which were as big as millstones, and the giant snake's head shook unaccustomedly, as if it felt a little more awake.
But this time the Ba Snake did not fight back as before. Instead, it shook off the bamboo raft it was dragging from its mouth, rolled and dived in the river again, trying to escape quickly.
The violent waves in that moment also made Dong Zhongshu see the scars caused by countless electric fires on Ba Snake's body.
The armor-like scales were almost completely peeled off, and the red or white flesh was covered with dense spider web-like patterns. Dong Zhongshu even saw flesh pits as big as fists, but there was no blood gushing out of these flesh pits. Instead, they seemed to have been dug out of flesh and blood. The body has basically recovered.
This reminded him of a terrible thing.
"It has survived the thunder tribulation. Kill it quickly, otherwise there will be a great demon like Zhu Jiuyin in our Han Kingdom in a few years!"
Dong Zhongshu couldn't imagine the trouble when a huge monster had the ability to stretch and contract freely, even turning into a human form.
This allows the snake to easily blend into places where humans gather, and it can also reveal its body at a specific time to devour everything.
After escaping with a full stomach, the snake can even return to the human group.
"How can such an alien survive the thunder tribulation!"
Wen Weng shouted, and he quickly activated the long ruler in his hand. The crazy influx of mana made the long ruler point towards the river where the snake sank.
A huge ice block quickly formed and solidified on the body of the snake.
"I remember your appearance!"
The severe pain in his right eye came again, and Ba Snake's head became a little clearer, and he began to break away from Ba Snake's animalistic nature and return to normal sanity.
It swayed the huge snake tail entrenched under the river. Amidst the heavy slapping and explosion sounds, countless turbid river water fell down, turning the stone mountain into a mountain of mud.
As soon as Wen Weng's frozen ice was loosened, his head shook and his huge body quickly became smaller.
"Don't try to escape!"
It took less than half a second for Ba She's harsh words to be spoken. Dong Zhongshu shouted loudly in the mud. The wind blade he controlled turned and no longer sought to pierce the eyeball and penetrate deep into the head to cause death, injury and destruction.
The rotation of the wind blade turned into cutting, and even got stuck in the eye socket of the snake.
When the snake's body shrank rapidly, the attacked eye did not shrink with it.
Like marbles that were squeezed away, the eyeballs, which were difficult to break in a short period of time, quickly shot into the distant river as the snake shrank in size.
