More than a dozen sword lights flew over the "Stream Reef Beach". Looking down at the shallows below, there were a large number of snake and python corpses. There were also layers of snake corpses floating in the streams on both sides, and high-level giant pythons were skinned one after another. Only the bare skeleton was left, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
"Quack, quack!" A group of strange birds jumped among the corpses everywhere, swooping left and right, and their long sharp beaks pecked open the belly of the snake corpse from time to time, picking at the fresh internal organs in the belly.
As Huang Shengzong and his party fell, a large number of strange birds were startled, but they did not fly away, but hovered in the sky, making bursts of shrill cries like the cry of a child.
"That group of Tian Luo Fan monks have picked off the Snake King Fruit. The smell of blood here is very heavy. It is not suitable to stay for a long time. Let's leave immediately!" , looking at the withered snake corpse magic grass, and said with a little regret.
"Wait a minute! These snake carcasses are bright red in flesh and blood. They are neither obviously dry nor smelly of decay. It can be seen that the group of Tianluo monks left not long ago. If we go after them now, it will be too late!" As soon as Di Qing landed on the ground! , then walked back and forth among the corpses, looking left and right with a sullen face, and from time to time he picked up snake corpses and sniffed them carefully.
"My nephew is definitely joking. Let's not talk about how long the group of deva monks have been away. Even if it is as my nephew expected, in this vast and deep forest, we should chase like this and in which direction. How can we still chase after setting off at this time? Come on?" Xiahou Kong couldn't help but feel angry and said with an unhappy expression.
Although Di Qing is a disciple of the Xiahou clan, he has always been arrogant due to his extraordinary talent. He is not very respectful to him on weekdays, and today he frequently disagrees with him. He is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
"Those monks who killed the snakes here must have spent a lot of mana. In addition, it took a lot of time to peel off the skin and bones, and extract various flesh and blood spiritual materials. It was time-consuming and laborious. Soon after these people evacuated, they would choose a safe place. If you rest where you are, if you set off to chase now, it will definitely be too late!" Di Qing kicked a thick snake corpse off the ground and said in annoyance.
"So what, how can my nephew know their evacuation direction! If they pursue the wrong direction, wouldn't it be a waste of effort!" Xia Houkong said immediately.
"Uncle Master, listen to Mr. Di first. We came from the southeast. We didn't see anyone along the way. The group of monks originally came from the southwest. I don't think they will return along the road again."
"This leaves the northeast and northwest directions. Let's divide into several small teams and spread out to pursue along these two directions. We will definitely find traces of these monks." Di Qing's face fell and he explained in a deep voice.
Although he was unwilling to give up, he was not a brainless person. The reason why he proposed the pursuit was after careful consideration.
"Hmph! We heard our nephew's words and came here earlier, but we have wasted half a day. If we continue to chase, it will not be in vain!" Seeing that there were many people, they nodded unconsciously, and Xia Houkong immediately spoke to object.
"Since it is possible to catch up, why not chase after them? Could it be that they died tragically at the hands of the monks and the revenge of those junior brothers would not be avenged? If the sect knew about it, what would it dare to do?" Di Qing moved out of the sect again. Xia Houkong said bluntly that he didn't give Xia Houkong any face in this big mountain.
"You..." Xia Houkong was speechless. Didn't Di Qing just want to recover the "Snake King Fruit"? What's the sect's righteousness?
"Senior Brother, how about we follow what Chifeng said and send two teams of two or three people each to these two locations. The others will stay and wait for news and chase forward for an hour or two. If nothing is found, , just let them come back!" Xuan Qing said hurriedly when he saw that the two of them were arguing again, and if they continued talking, it would damage their harmony.
"Then just follow what junior sister said and send a few people there. Huh! It's all a waste of time!" Xia Houkong put down his words, turned around and walked away with a very ugly look on his face.
"What does my nephew think?" Xuan Qing looked at Di Qing again.
"Add one more team, and Di will go too!" Di Qing nodded and said.
…
At this time, on a low hilltop far to the east of the secret realm, a group of people from the Lingbing Palace were resting. No, among them were three disciples from the Myriad Medicine Valley wearing light green "Five Elements Pill Smoke Robes". These three people were dejected. One of them was telling something to Lingbing Palace and others, with a sad look on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, you are saying that you suddenly encountered a group of people from the Spiritual Beast Sect a day ago. After the fight, you were defeated miserably, and only three of your fellow Taoists escaped?" Taoist Qinghai, the leader of the Lingbing Palace team, widened his eyes after hearing this. , asked with some disbelief.
"What about fellow Taoist Zigang?" Qinghai asked again hurriedly before waiting for a reply.
You must know that Zi Gang and he are old people of the same generation. Although they are not from the same sect, they have known each other since their early years and are considered old friends. Their cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection.
And it contains the rare "Leigang Xuandan". He is an alchemy cultivator who has a deep understanding of thunder magic. His combat power is far superior to his own. This time he comes as the leader of Wanyao Valley.
"Uncle Master, in order to cover the retreat of his disciples and others, he unfortunately fell into the trap of that demon!" Ge Hong couldn't help but lowered his head in sorrow and said.
"Monster?" The young white-haired female cultivator standing coldly next to her asked with a frown.
"There is a strange man in the Spiritual Beast Sect. His forehead is covered with green scales, his cheeks are narrow and his face is pointed. He looks like a snake demon. Behind this man is a thick and long black snake. This snake has huge vertical pupils on its forehead, which can capture people's hearts and make them unable to look directly. He dares to feel dizzy after just one glance, which is extremely evil. Most of the people who were killed in this sect died at the hands of this person."
"Uncle Zigang was also entangled by this man and a snake, unable to escape, and was finally surrounded by the Spirit Beast Sect. He died after fighting hard!" Thinking of the snake man, Ge Hong felt chills in his heart.
When he jumped on the silver electric eagle to escape, he turned around and looked back. The last scene he saw was that the snake man thrust his bare hands into the chest of a fellow sect member and dug out a heart that was still beating and bleeding.
"This human being is called the Blood Snake. His skin is scaly, his pupils are like snakes, and he has a half-snake Tao body. Those who possess this Tao body have snake nature and are highly poisonous. They contract with snakes to cultivate both spiritual and spiritual life. Not only do they get twice the result with half the effort in daily practice, but they also have blood The interconnection can greatly weaken the extra punishment force imposed by Heaven on the beast cultivator lineage during the tribulation."
"Although this Taoist body is not ranked on the list of the Hundred Innate Bodies, for the lineage of beast cultivators, its mystery is no less mysterious than other Taoist bodies on the list." The white-haired female cultivator said slowly.
"Junior sister, how do you know this?" Qinghai couldn't help but ask.
"Before entering the secret realm, the great elder told Xuan Bing to be careful, and this person was among them." Xuan Bing explained.
"If we meet, will junior sister have the confidence to defeat this person?" Qinghai glanced at the three people in Wanyao Valley and secretly sent a message to junior sister Xuan Bing to ask. Although she is the captain, the most powerful person in the team is Junior sister Xuan Bing.
Junior Sister Xuan Bing is pregnant with the 98th-ranked Ice Yuan Dao Body on the list of 100 innate bodies. She is pregnant with the cold Ice Yuan Qi in her body. She has been practicing the Heavenly Grade Sword Cultivation Technique "Ice Roaring Sword Technique" with her sect master since she was a child. The two complement each other, like a divine aid. .
According to the sect leader, Junior Sister Xuan Bing's talent in swordsmanship is extremely high, even higher than she was in her early years.
"It's hard to say!" Xuan Bing couldn't help but frown slightly, because this half-snake Dao body itself has strengths and weaknesses. The strength is determined by the grade and purity of the snake blood mixed in the body. The higher the grade, the higher the blood. The purer the purity, the stronger the power of the Tao body itself.
However, I heard from the great elder that most of the Taoist bodies recorded in the Dongyuan world were mixed with snakes whose bloodline was generally not high, such as common snakes such as five-flowered snakes, snow pythons, and bamboo-leaf green snakes.
But it is rumored that in ancient times there was a haze snake king, whose body was mixed with the rare and highly poisonous five-step miasma black snake. Wherever it went, the miasma smoke covered the sky and avoided the sun, and the corpses lay thousands of miles away, which was extremely terrifying.
The Haze Snake Lord here is a source of trouble and feeds on humans. It is said that the Jian Yue Immortal Sect's several encirclement and suppression campaigns ended in disastrous defeats. In the end, the Jian Yue Immortal Sect was asked to come down to earth to take action to kill this snake.
As for the blood snake of the Spiritual Beast Sect, the outside world does not know what kind of snake blood is mixed in its body.
But from the fact that he was able to kill Zigang, the Thunder Master of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, it is assumed that the grade of the snake blood mixed in his body must not be too low, and his companion spirit beast, the sixth-grade "Devil Eyed King Snake", is also extremely difficult to entangled.
"Junior sister, should we continue moving forward, or should we stay here and wait for Nangong Xiao and the others?" Qinghai couldn't help but frown.
Entering the secret realm this time, in addition to picking the Snake King Fruit, the sect also had another task for them. The two teams of the Lingbing Sect needed to rush to the "Rotten Water Swamp" in the easternmost part of the secret realm to meet up as soon as possible.
However, I just heard what the three people from Wanyao Valley said. The place where they fought a day ago happened to be on their route. The Spirit Beast Sect team should not have gone far yet, and maybe they are still active in the area ahead. If you continue to move forward at this time, you are likely to encounter one.
"Stay here and wait for two days. If you still don't see Junior Lingxiao and the others, they will most likely not be heading in the same direction as us. Then we can continue on our way. Senior Brother is aware of this!" Xuan Bing thought for a moment and said, she It's not that I'm afraid of the Spirit Beast Sect team, but the sect has a mission to avoid unnecessary casualties as much as possible.
Otherwise, based on Xuan Bing's own wishes, she really wanted to go and meet this snake demon from the Spiritual Beast Sect. The sword cultivator lineage has always been warlike, and Xuan Bing was no exception. The sword's will was like a sharp edge and needed constant training, and The battle between life and death is the best "testing stone".
"Just follow what junior sister said!" Qinghai was secretly relieved. Even though junior sister Xuan Bing looked cold and indifferent, she was quite a militant. He was really afraid that junior sister Xuan Bing would go to the Spirit Beast Sect for a duel.
"Fellow Daoist Hongguang, are you injured? I have a good one..."
"No need to bother! Just a small injury!"
