Who knows, the tree has dead branches.
"Good boy!" Duan Jiuxiu was furious when he found out that he had fallen into the trap. "I think you are impatient and dare to tease me. I will kill you right now..."
"Don't you want the saliva of the Snow Lindramon?" Qianxue said coldly, "I put the bottle of saliva in their hands. Guess how much saliva I still have in my hand. Not only you, but also your mistress You and your apprentice can practice that magic skill."
Duan Jiuxiu stopped and was about to chop off his right palm.
Qinong and Hu Tianwei were also nervous. One on the left and the other on the right, they stepped forward to persuade Duan Jiuxiu to calm down.
Mu Qingyan said loudly: "You deliberately lured us into the depths of the snowy ridge step by step, leaving the saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast as bait so that both of us would lose in the fight. You even raised two white-haired cats as helpers—— Who are you!"
Qianxue smiled sadly: "Just now, you guessed that they don't want you to go down the mountain alive. So, if a family of hunters also met them who were looking for the Snow Scale Dragon Beast in the mountain, what do you think they would do?"
Cai Zhao's mind flashed, and he immediately said: "That family, that dilapidated big house on the mountainside, belongs to your family?! Your surname is not Qian, you are the child of that family!"
"There is nothing wrong with being named Qian. Master saved my life and taught me the ability to take revenge." Qian Xueshen said calmly, "If I am just an ordinary hunter, how can I deal with these things with human faces and animal hearts?"
Duan Jiuxiu grinned: "So you are the son of that family. What is the surname of that Orion...I can't even remember..."
Hu Tianwei thought hard: "It seems that his surname is Tao."
Duan Jiuxiu looked regretful: "I just remember that the little daughter-in-law gave birth to a very beautiful child. It's a pity that I can't keep her."
There was deep hatred in Qian Xueshen's eyes: "That's my aunt. My cousin was still in his infancy, and you threw him to death, and then your mistress broke my aunt's neck."
Duan Jiuxiu touched his chin: "I can't help it, Qinong is jealous and looks down on decent-looking women."
"Oh, Lord, it's true!" Qinong actually said in a coquettish tone.
Qian Xueshen burst out words from between her teeth: "Sixteen years ago, when you couldn't find the Snow Scale Dragon Beast, you used black powder to blow up the gas on the mountain. As a result, it caused an avalanche and they were all buried. It was my father and uncle. I dug you out one by one and dragged you home to recuperate. Who knew that the first thing you would do after you recovered was to kill and silence you!"
"You, repaying kindness with hatred are worse than animals!"
Sixteen years ago, what happened in the world?
At that time, Cai Zhao was not yet born, and the battle of Qingluo River had just ended.
The Devil's Sect and the Six Beichen Sects are all in prepared positions. The former is worried that the latter will take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Netherworld Huangdao, while the latter is worried that the former will not accept defeat and will fight back more fiercely.
While the energy of the entire world is focused on this, there is a group of despicable villains with ulterior motives working hard for their ambitions in the frozen snow-capped mountains of the far north that no one is paying attention to.
Tao Orion's house was just a small stone on their way forward. It wasn't even a roadblock. It was just a small stone that could hurt their feet and was easily kicked away.
Duan Jiuxiu didn't care: "There is nothing we can do. Zhou Zhiqin and Dongfang Xiao are worried about letting people know that they are two well-known and upright heroes mixed with people from the Demon Cult, so we have no choice but to take action."
"Don't forget to shirk your responsibilities at this time. As expected, people become more and more useless as they get older. You are not even worthy of carrying Nie Hengcheng's shoes!" Mu Qingyan said coldly, "Of course Zhou Zhiqin, Dongfang Xiao, is afraid of being discovered that he is working with someone from the Demon Cult. If you have any dealings with each other, aren't you afraid that your escape will be exposed? If someone finds out about your search for the Snow Scale Dragon Beast, and Han Yisu, who is not yet dead, guesses that someone wants to secretly practice his master's kung fu, you will go to heaven. Don’t even try to escape even if you’re on the ground!”
"You are presumptuous!" Hu Tianwei scolded.
Duan Jiuxiu raised his hand to stop his apprentice and said in a deep voice, "You can say that."
"My family is not from the world at all, and I don't know you at all, how could I reveal your identity!" Qian Xueshen shouted.
Duan Jiuxiu just raised his eyebrows, "It's a very important matter, so it's better to be safe."
An anger grew stronger and stronger in Cai Zhao's heart.
When she was a child, she listened to Cai Pingshu's stories about hoeing the strong and supporting the weak. In fact, she paid more attention to how Cai Pingshu and others defeated the enemy, how to escape danger wisely, and how to become famous in the world. The process is enjoyable, the ending is passionate and heroic, the heroes return with great fame, and the villains are punished - but they never think about the innocent people who were harmed in the story.
It was only then, when she saw the lonely Qianxue Shen, listened to him talk about the past, and remembered that the dilapidated wooden house with the cold wind in the hall was once filled with the laughter and laughter of a kind family... did she understand what her aunt was obsessed with. .
Unable to restrain her anger, she took a step forward.
Mu Qingyan held her down and whispered: "The injuries on my meridians have not fully recovered, and the two of us are no match for the three of them. Now that we know their evil deeds, we can slowly figure them out in the future." "
Cai Zhao knew that Mu Qingyan was telling the truth, so he shouted: "Qian Xueshen, let's go first, and I will avenge you later."
Qian Xueshen shook her head, "Thank you, no need."
He raised his head and smiled, "When you were tinkering with the four walls of the igloo just now, did you find that the snow bamboo used to build the walls was particularly easy to cut? In fact, I built this igloo. There is no place to stay on such a high mountain. , the last masonry hunting lodge was lower than where my home is.”
"For sixteen years, they have not given up searching for the Snow Scale Dragon Beast. However, they later became much smarter and would not come in person to attract attention. Instead, they sent their men to inquire, and they also set up an inn at the foot of the mountain as a sentry post."
"More than a year ago, I built this house and arranged everything. Unfortunately, I accidentally revealed my identity and was captured by a group of men in gray. Fortunately, Xuefeng and Xuezhu are very smart and capable, so they still The plan is to sneak attack when someone touches this snow house - Zhou Zhiqin's son was bitten to death by snow beads, and the scales of the Snow Scale Dragon were left next to a pile of corpses."
"The shopkeeper discovered the scales when he came to collect the body, and immediately informed them. After Jin Baohui confirmed that it was correct, everyone gathered in Daxue Mountain again. During my imprisonment, I was anxious every day. Fortunately, Miss Cai, you brought me out, otherwise Years of hard work are about to come to nothing.”
Duan Jiuxiu became impatient, "Luo Li, why are you so fussy? Let's talk about the saliva. Where are you hiding?"
Qian Xueshen still ignored him: "I said all this because I want to tell Xiao Cai that I am ready for everything and I can take my own revenge."
Cai Zhao felt uneasy after hearing these last words of comfort.
Qian Xueshen looked at Duan Jiuxiu, "There was indeed a Snow Scale Dragon Beast in this snow. My father and uncle picked up its fallen scales when they were children, and also collected a lot of its saliva dripping on the snow - It’s a very good tonic, it can clear away fire and moisturize dryness. When you have a fever due to wind-heat and you can’t afford a doctor, saliva can save your life.”
"It's a pity that the Snow Scale Dragon Beast died twenty years ago." Qian Xueshen smiled strangely, "Although it is dead, there is still some saliva collected by my family. The Snow Scale Dragon Beast's saliva is exposed to the cold It doesn’t freeze and won’t break down if buried in ice for decades.”
Master and disciple Duan Jiuxiu's breathing became rapid.
"Elder Duan, do you still remember the deck chair you slept on at my house sixteen years ago? On the floor next to the deck chair, there is an openable flap, and under the flap is a large hollowed-out ice block. My mother is Cooking your noodles and taking out freshly frozen fat chickens to make soup for you - do you remember?"
Duan Jiuxiu felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't express it.
Qian Xueshen said word by word: "The saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast is in the ice box next to the fat chicken."
Duan Jiuxiu's face was cold and his heart was filled with severe pain - if he had searched carefully back then, he might have been able to practice magic skills sixteen years in advance. He is already old, how many more sixteen years can he waste?
"Hand over the saliva!" He showed his fierce look and approached Qian Xueshen step by step.
Qianxue smiled deeply and said, "Okay. Little Heroine Cai and Mr. Yan are leaving. Please come with me, Elder Duan." After saying that, he quickly ran towards the ice and snow mountain rocks that he came out of just now.
Duan Jiuxiu immediately pounced on him, followed by Qinong and Hu Tianwei.
Qian Xueshen's Qinggong was pretty good, but he couldn't compare with Duan Jiuxiu, but he was about to catch up within ten feet.
At this moment, Qian Xueshen's right hand touched the ice and snow mountain stone and pulled the rope hidden behind it hard.
There was a loud crash, and the semicircular ice layer centered on Qian Xueshen and facing Duan Jiuxiu suddenly shattered - Qian Xueshen, Duan Jiuxiu, Qinong, and Hu Tianwei fell into the ice cave again.
Cai Zhao was shocked. Just as he was about to go over and take a look, Mu Qingyan held him tightly.
——I saw a huge white python's head rising high from the entrance of the cave where the four people fell, with green and cold eyes, spitting out smelly and blood-red nostrils.
"This is the lair of the giant blue-eyed ice crystal python!" Cai Zhao was shocked.
Mu Qingyan said with a sullen face: "It's not safe here either, let's leave quickly!"
Chapter 59
Mu Qingyan is young and accomplished, and he prides himself on being brave. However, he can't help but feel frightened when he encounters the most ancient evil creature in the world. He grabs Cai Zhao and starts to run away, but Cai Zhao stays in place with a look on his face. Anxiously, "Qian Xueshen will die!"
"He originally wanted to die together and beg for mercy." Mu Qingyan thought there was no problem.
"Watch him die!"
Mu Qingyan planned to knock the girl unconscious, "I'll leave quickly so I won't see how he died."
"You go ahead, I'll find you at the bottom of the mountain." Cai Zhao didn't want to explain anymore, threw Mu Qingyan's hand away and ran forward.
Mu Qingyan's hands were empty and speechless, "...Do you believe this?"
The cracked ice cave entrance was unfathomable. Cai Zhao stood on the edge of the cave entrance and looked down. Everything was pitch black. There is a huge raised icicle in the middle, and the giant python is coiled on this icicle. It was obviously very angry that its sleep was disturbed, and its green pupils stood upright, emitting a frightening light.
Duan Jiuxiu, the three of them, and Qian Xueshen all hung on the ice wall at different heights. Among them, Duan Jiuxiu saw the opportunity and cultivated the fastest and deepest, so the ice wall he hung on was closest to the ground.
The giant python has been entrenched under the dark ice for many years. It obviously has poor eyesight. It slowly turned its huge snake head, as if looking for any living thing that would disturb its rest. Cai Zhao also lay at the entrance of the cave and did not dare to move.
While everyone held their breath, the snake's head turned half a circle, and finally stopped in front of Duan Jiuxiu.
Cai Zhao understood as soon as he thought about it. When Duan Jiuxiu chopped off Zhou Zhiqin's head just now, living blood must have splashed on him, and the bloody smell left behind attracted the giant python's attention. She felt happy in her heart, and felt that the cycle of heaven was full of retribution.
As the snake head slowly approached, a cold chill hit Duan Jiuxiu. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help cursing Zhou Zhiqin and Cai Zhao in his heart. With a flicker of the corner of his eye, he saw Qian Xueshen hanging not two feet below him, and his eyes were full of revenge that was about to happen. The color of joy.
Duan Jiuxiu felt great hatred in his heart, and with luck in his right arm, half of the beef tendon rope in his sleeve flew away, rolled up Qianxue and threw it in front of the snake's head. At this time, the giant python was slowly opening its abyssal mouth, with two sharp fangs. As thick as a tree trunk.
Seeing that Qian Xueshen was being used as a snack for the giant python, Cai Zhao had no choice but to jump down. The silver chain on his left wrist flew out and pulled Qian Xueshen back from the snake's mouth. At the same time, he swung his sword with all his strength and hit the side of the giant python's neck.
Taking advantage of this moment, Duan Jiuxiu scurried up the wall like a gecko. Seeing the bright sky right in front of him, a familiar figure suddenly appeared from above. His voice was cold, "Elder Duan, please get out of here."
Duan Jiuxiu was kicked hard on the door, half of his body was numb, and he fell straight into the abyss. Fortunately, he could still use his right hand, so he bent his fingers into claws and dug into the ice wall, slowing down his fall.
Cai Zhao held Qian Xueshen's collar with his left hand, held the handle of the knife behind his back with his right hand, inserted it into the ice wall, and also slid down. After Mu Qingyan kicked Duan Jiuxiu, he just saw a piece of the girl's clothes raised when she fell.
Mu Qingyan sighed. He felt that he was more than just an upright person from a well-known family. He was truly a living Bodhisattva who rescued those who were suffering. He should put it on the incense table and offer a big pig's head every day. After sighing, he jumped down and caught a glimpse of him as he descended. Qinong and Hu Tianwei were trying hard to climb up the ice wall, so they waved their long sleeves and smoothly pushed them down.
The giant python is an ancient ferocious beast. The scales covering its body are stronger than iron armor, and ordinary sharp weapons cannot hurt it at all. However, the Sun Knife is also a rare artifact in the world. It is said that the blazing sun is tempered during the forging, which just restrains the heat-resistant ice crystals. python.
The knife wound into the flesh, and the giant python twisted wildly in pain. Its thick long tail whipped in all directions, and every blow was carried with thunderous force. The hard ice wall was shattered by the blow, and huge ice cubes were broken. It fell like raindrops, hitting the six people who had just landed unable to stand upright.
In the violently shaking ice cave, Qinong Hu Tianwei and Qianxue Shen rolled on the ground. Mu Qingyan pulled Cai Zhao and barely stood up. Only Duan Jiuxiu used a beef tendon rope to hang himself on a protruding point on the ice wall.
This ice cave was like a vast abyss, more than two hundred feet deep. Everyone seemed to have fallen straight into the bottom of the mountain. Looking up at the entrance of the cave where they had fallen, there was only a bright spot as big as a palm. But strangely, it is not dark inside the ice cave, and the four walls are filled with glittering light like flowing water.
Seeing this situation, Duan Jiuxiu cried out in agony. He went deep into the snake's lair and was surrounded by giant pythons, asking him how to escape.
"Ahhhh..." Qinong suddenly screamed loudly, Hu Tianwei's throat also made a gurgling sound, and both of them had indescribable horror on their faces.
Through the light on the four walls, everyone discovered that this was not only a giant python's lair, but also a horrifying pit of bones.
Inside the huge, uneven pit, there are layers upon layers of animal and human bones. Judging from the shape of the remaining bones, everything from birds and snow sculptures to hares, roe deer, snow leopards and roe deer all became meals for the giant python. The most frightening thing is the human bones mixed in. Those that have turned into white bones over time are still better. What is terrifying are the human bodies that the giant python has not chewed clean. Because the ice and snow cave is extremely cold, their remaining bodies will be destroyed every time. Well preserved.
Where Qinong fell, there was a corpse that had half of its body eaten by a giant python. Half of its face with hair and beard sprouted was right in front of her. She was cruel and frightened; Hu Tianwei rolled away. He fell into a pile of skeletons whose flesh had been chewed up by the giant python, and his face was covered with blood, flesh, and ice shavings, and he almost vomited it out.
Cai Zhao was not much better, holding on to the ice wall with nausea; Qian Xueshen, although his face was pale, was extremely excited by his desire for revenge; only Mu Qingyan looked as usual, and comforted the girl in a considerate way, "Here It's much better than the Immortal Sacrifice Cliff of the Divine Sect. It's so cold at least that the body is not rotten. If you fall at the bottom of the Immortal Sacrifice Cliff, you can step on slippery eyeballs as soon as you lift your foot, or else it will be more slippery rot. Brain, you can’t even stand still.”
Cai Zhao's face turned green, "Please stop talking!"
The six people stood as close to the wall as possible until the python's madness gradually subsided and huge ice cubes stopped falling above its head, then they dared to poke their heads.
The rain of ice cubes stopped, but the angry giant python came roaring with its bloody mouth open. Everyone hurriedly prepared for it. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qian Xueshen suddenly threw a small porcelain bottle at the feet of Qinong and Hu Tianwei.
The porcelain bottle shattered on the hard ice, splashing with light yellow viscous liquid. Qinong and Hu Tianwei each splashed a few drops. At first they thought it was poison, but there was no pain or burning. Before they could question, the giant python's blood-red letter had already swept over.
After the first few rounds of aimless killing, the giant python seemed to have identified Qinong and Hu Tianwei. The huge snake head only chased the two of them. Even though Qinong and Hu Tianwei were of high cultivation, they had several close calls. Involved in Shekou by the red letter. Fortunately, when the giant python chased them, Mu Qingyan and Duan Jiuxiu couldn't help but hit the snake's belly from the side with their palms, otherwise they would have been turned into ice corpses by the ice breath.
However, the snake's body was huge and long, and it coiled around the ground seven or eight times. At this moment, after stretching out, the people who were approaching had nowhere to hide.
Cai Zhao used all his strength to hold back Qian Xueshen, who was trying to rush forward, "You go up first, he and I will catch up later!"
Qian Xueshen struggled and taunted, "Stop your chivalry, what can you do to save someone like me?!"
"You are not a bad person, you don't deserve to die." Cai Zhao said with a sullen face.
