"It's not good, it's not good."
Early in the morning, Chen Xuniang's voice came from outside the yard next door.
"Xu Niang, why didn't you let Ling'er sleep so early in the morning?" Zhao Ling'er naturally knew about Xu Niang's ambiguous relationship with her father, and she regarded Xu Niang as her own relative from the bottom of her heart.
"It's not that Miss Xu doesn't let you sleep, it's that something happened to your father!"
"If something happens, what could happen to my father?" Zhao Ling'er continued to respond carelessly. She would not believe that something happened to her father.
"An hour ago, your father was carrying the body as usual, but when he was carrying the body in the coffin for the second time, a snake demon pretending to be dead suddenly jumped out of the coffin and bit your father. Now he is probably going to It’s no longer possible…”
"What?" When he heard that his father was dying, Zhao Ling'er interrupted him directly and said anxiously: "Mother Xu, take Ling'er to see your father quickly."
"Xu Niang, please lead the way." After Chen Xuniang finished speaking, she ran ahead, with Zhao Ling'er following behind.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two small black dots left between the two of them.
Lin Jingzhe did not go over to join in the fun because Zhao Ling'er did not take him with him, and his current role was just a corpse slave. He could not leave without the master's order.
Zhao Ling'er followed Chen Xuniang to the outskirts of the valley, and saw many disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect gathered on a flat ground from a distance. Most of the disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect gathered on the flat ground were only in the Qi training period, and there were only a few foundation-building monks. people.
When the two of them ran into the crowd, they seemed to recognize Zhao Ling'er, and some people gave way to them, showing expressions of pity.
"Daddy." Zhao Ling'er said in a crying voice as she ran towards Du Chen, who was lying in a pool of blood not far away.
Du Chen was not the only one who fell in the pool of blood, but there were several others. However, their injuries were not serious. On the contrary, Du Chen was the most seriously injured. He was already dying, hanging on to his last breath, just waiting for Zhao Ling'er's arrival.
"Ling, Ling'er..." When Du Chen saw Zhao Ling'er arriving, a happy smile appeared on his lips, then he died and passed away.
"Daddy!" Zhao Ling'er rushed to Du Chen's side, crying so hard that she was dying...
In the evening, Du Chen was buried together with two other Tianzhi Sect disciples who died of injuries and were buried in a mass grave.
However, unlike those unidentified corpses, they all have their own epitaphs.
Zhao Ling'er stayed by Du Chen's tomb and never left, while Chen Xuniang also stayed by her side, comforting her.
It's night, and the night breeze is blowing.
"Ling'er, go back, it's getting cold."
"No, Xu Niang, you go back first. I want to spend more time with my father." Zhao Ling'er's tears had already dried up.
"Hey, you kid, you can't be resurrected after death. Please bear with me and don't hurt yourself."
"Ms. Xu, I know. I have my own sense of discretion. You can go back first. I will go back on my own when I get tired."
"Okay, then you should pay more attention to safety." Chen Xuniang added: "The roads in the mountains are not safe. Please pay more attention. I heard that the snake monster that attacked your father was not caught. You are only at the first level of Qi training now. , if you encounter that snake demon, shout loudly for help, the night watch brothers here will hear your voice and come to save you."
"I understand, Xu Niang, please go back."
"Okay." After Chen Xuniang said that, she turned and left.
At this point, Zhao Ling'er was the only one left exposed outside the mass grave.
There are many graves with epitaphs here, but there are not many graves with epitaphs like Duchen's, only a few hundred.
The breeze blew and chilled her bones, so Zhao Ling'er sat like this for another half an hour.
"Yawn!" She suddenly shuddered, crossed her arms, stood up, and looked around. The white flags on the edges of the surrounding graves were fluttering in the wind, making cries like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
"These flags are very scary." Zhao Ling'er murmured and swung her body. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of her. She rubbed her eyes and took a closer look.
"What is that!" Zhao Ling'er shuddered and suddenly remembered Chen Xuniang's words.
"It can't be that snake demon, right?" Zhao Ling'er tightened the wooden stick in her hand and looked at the gloomy graveyard and weeds in front of her with lack of confidence.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Sure enough, whatever came to mind came, and after a while, a "hissing" sound came from the side of the gloomy grave.
Zhao Ling'er knew it was the snake demon. Remembering that her father died because of him, she became bolder and shouted: "Snake, take your life."
She became fierce and rushed forward with a wooden stick.
The snake demon had already discovered her, and wanted to sneak over and frighten her courage before eating her. Who knew that the tiny human actually came up with a stick to provoke her.
It also felt that its dignity had been provoked, so it sped up and pounced forward with a "swish".
"Bang!" Before Zhao Ling'er's wooden stick hit the snake, it was dived by the demonic snake and knocked away. The wooden stick also fell to the ground, making a clanging sound.
"Ahem." Zhao Ling'er was knocked away and hit a grave. At this moment, she felt like she couldn't breathe. She was extremely uncomfortable and her face was extremely pale.
"Hiss, hiss." When the snake demon saw that the human who rushed towards him turned out to be a thirteen-year-old girl, his two pairs of giant lantern eyes were spinning, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
But after only a moment of pause, it slowly moved up and crawled towards its food.
Perhaps it was because of the temptation of food that saliva flowed from the corner of its mouth.
Only then did Zhao Ling'er see clearly that it was a huge python covered in black scales that required two people to wrap around its waist.
Moreover, every time the black python stuck out its tongue, two pairs of fangs were exposed, emitting an eerie light.
"No, don't come over." Only then did Zhao Ling'er think of running away, but found that her feet had begun to tremble and she couldn't even get up.
"Help!" Zhao Ling'er could only shout for help at this time, hoping to attract a night watchman.
As she shouted, there was indeed movement in the gloomy mass grave, and about four auras flew towards this direction.
When the snake demon noticed that she was calling for help, it pounced on her without stopping, making sure to swallow the delicious human girl in front of her alive before the reinforcements arrived.
"No." Zhao Ling'er could almost smell the smell of the snake demon close at hand. At this time, she didn't know where the strength came from, forcing her to get up and run towards the direction of the night watchmen. Go.
The snake demon jumped into the air, made a hissing sound, and chased after him.
The two were originally very close to each other, but in the blink of an eye, the snake demon's tongue was able to lick Zhao Ling'er's body.
At this time, Zhao Ling'er already felt as if death was coming, and the breath on her body was much colder, but she still did not give up.
But everything was of no avail. The snake demon opened its huge mouth and bit her body with one bite, and its two big fangs pierced into her flesh.
Zhao Ling'er let out a painful groan. At this time, she felt that the breath of death had enveloped her whole body. The pain made her burst into tears for a moment.
"Brother, save me." She suddenly remembered Lin Jingzhe and made a feeble cry for help.
As she fell, Lin Jingzhe, who was several miles away, seemed to sense something. He escaped into the ground and fled in the direction of Zhao Ling'er.
The snake demon saw a mouthful, but he didn't want to start a meal here. Instead, he chose to close his mouth directly, holding the food in his mouth, and crawled in an uninhabited direction.
"Hurry up and chase, it's the snake demon today, we can't let him get away."
"It also has a person in its mouth. It can't be that girl from the Duchenne family, right?"
"Ah, no, right? That would probably be a disaster."
"Hurry up and follow. I hope we can survive and save that girl."
"I wonder if just the few of us are a match for that snake demon."
"No matter, rescuing people is important, and Baldy has already gone to invite the elders. As long as we can hold on until the elders arrive, the snake demon can be killed."
The snake demon was a little angry when he saw several auras behind him chasing after him. Although it was only a Qi-training level monster, it was also a ninth-level Qi-training monster. A ninth-level Qi-training monster was still Being chased by several human monks with lower cultivation levels than itself, if it was revealed, it would probably be difficult for it to live in the demon world in the future.
"Eat first and then talk about it. This lovely girl's flesh and blood should be very fresh and tender." When this thought flashed through the black snake demon's head, it had already stopped. Instead, it now feels that only by eating and drinking enough can it have strength. Escape or fight with humans is nothing more than a trivial matter.
But just when it stopped, it suddenly felt a breath coming from the ground towards it. It was startled and wanted to run away, but it was already half a beat too slow.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and a body several feet long flew into the air.
Due to the powerful collision, the painful snake demon was forced to open its huge mouth, and Zhao Ling'er also fell out of its mouth.
Lin Jingzhe caught her casually and flew him several feet away before stopping.
"Hiss."
The snake demon fell to the ground and looked angrily at the man in green who suddenly appeared.
dead body? The snake demon didn't seem to be able to sense the slightest breath of a living person on the man in green clothes in front of him. He couldn't help but be stunned. Is a dead man so powerful?
Lin Jingzhe did not have the ability to defeat the enemy with one move. He did not want to expose his identity and cultivation level at the moment.
When the snake demon saw that the food in his hand not only flew away, but also received a punch, his two pairs of lantern eyes glared angrily and he made a hissing sound before he pounced on it.
"Boom!"
The two night watchmen had also rushed over at this time, and they successively controlled their corpse slaves to attack the snake demon.
While the snake demon hissed, it just flicked its huge head and threw away the two zombie slaves who only had Qi training.
As the two corpse slaves were thrown out, the two night watchmen also let out a muffled roar, but they gritted their teeth and continued to control the fallen corpse slaves to get up and attack the snake demon again.
The snake demon was also angry, and its tail suddenly turned around, sweeping the corpse slave away again.
