The two stone men struggled together. Zhao Ning, who fled behind the chasing stone men, had some time to breathe, but he did not dare to take a break. He quickly moved away from the two stone men with his sword again.
Zhao Ning noticed during the flight that he could see a hilltop almost every few miles away. What looked like a hilltop from a distance was actually the head of a stone man.
She even wondered if the high place where she first settled was also the head of a stone man. The fight with the animated stones had awakened the explosive and irritable stone man.
Zhao Ning didn't dare to stay any longer and ran forward all the way, but she didn't expect to see a circle of open stone forest. Zhao Ning had seen the stone forest in the second level of the secret realm, but this stone forest was far better than that. It is much larger, each giant stone tree is almost ten feet tall, and the main trunk is also nearly ten feet tall.
It seemed empty and quiet inside, but Zhao Ning didn't dare to go deep. She still remembered the huge stone snake. It was impossible for such a strange place not to have stone snakes. And Zhao Ning was not able to use "Silent" yet. Ning stopped in the air for a moment, and Yu Jian turned around to move away in another direction.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw two huge snake eyes in the sky. Zhao Ning's pupils shrank sharply. Before he could make any other unnecessary movements, the huge stone snake opened its mouth and pounced down, directly grabbing Zhao Ning with the Chamoon Sword. Swallowed it.
The world was spinning for a moment, but fortunately nothing happened to Zhao Ning when he was swallowed into the stone snake's belly. The stone snake did not have various organs like ordinary snakes. The inside of the stone snake was more like a long and dark passage.
As the stone snake squirmed forward, Zhao Ning could not stabilize his body inside it, and hit the four walls inside the stone snake crazily. Fortunately, after adapting to the stone snake's forward movement, Zhao Ning could also control the wind. Go up and down inside, making sure you don't hit the four internal walls as much as possible.
The inner walls were extremely rough, and even sparsely covered with moss. Zhao Ning flew upward a little, and could faintly see the light coming from his throat, but he was quickly stopped by several rows of sharp teeth of the stone snake. These The sharp teeth can be torn apart by those sharp lights even if they are even half an inch closer.
Zhao Ning tried to pass through the stone snake's throat and get out of the stone snake's mouth, but before she could take action, she felt a strong suction pulling Zhao Ning down along the inside.
Unable to resist for a moment, Zhao Ning fell deep into the stone snake, but landed in an open area, right at the top of the pile of debris.
Zhao Ning turned over and flew into the air, only to see that these messy objects were all spiritual things, ranging from small spiritual stones to large spiritual vessels, and even some human corpses. These corpses were still vaguely visible. With a jade-like color, he must have been a cultivator during his lifetime. Zhao Ning touched it slightly, and the withered corpse instantly turned into fly ash. He must have been dead for at least tens of thousands of years.
jingle——
The ring on the fingertip of the withered skeleton fell to the ground. It was quite simple in style. Zhao Ning glanced at it and saw that it was filled with messy things, including everything, spiritual stones, spiritual pills, spiritual weapons, jade slips, etc. They were all piled up together, and it was impossible to see clearly for a while, but Zhao Ning clearly noticed from some different types of things that the things in this storage ring were probably not for one person.
Zhao Ning thought about it for a while, and realized that this senior should have been swallowed by the stone snake like her. She saw the stone snake's messy things and the predecessor's storage bag, and then collected them all together. This speculation made her Zhao Ning's slightly relaxed mood became tense again, which meant that the senior not only failed to escape smoothly but also died here.
She probed a little and noticed something abnormal inside the stone snake. The true energy in her body was flowing out at an extremely slow speed.
Regardless of whether the senior died because of this, or was unable to escape and expired, this reminded Zhao Ning that he could not stay longer and must find a way to leave as soon as possible.
Zhao Ning thought for a while, since the stone snake walked with the body of a snake, it must have the characteristics of a snake. It is often said that a snake will die if it hits it seven inches. If she can attack from the inside, she wonders if she can directly defeat the stone snake.
She followed the general direction. The interior of the stone snake was extremely narrow and long, and there were many small forks. Some of them would quickly lead to a dead end if they turned inward, but some would lead to another passage if they went deeper, and then they would enter this passage through the forks. Come to the main road.
Zhao Ning stood in the middle of the three-way intersection, hesitating slightly. She actually felt a trace of life inside the stone snake.
Could it be the source of life for the Stone Snake?
Zhao Ning stared at the fork in the road and walked in without hesitation. However, as soon as he took a few steps, he felt something was wrong. There were many traces of man-made excavations on the walls, and things related to the survival of the human race appeared. Zhao Ning instantly entered it. , but saw that it was a dead end, but a fire was rising here, and smoke was still coming out. It obviously hadn't been out for long. There were some beddings made of randomly twisted rags, and some things used as pots and pans. .
There are people who live here and have lived here for a long time.
But there was no one here at the moment, and Zhao Ning found no other traces when he came here from the main road. Zhao Ning glanced across the surrounding walls, and suddenly raised his head. There was a narrow gap above his head, tilting upward.
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes, "Sir, do you want me to ask you to come down?"
"No, no, no, I'll come down by myself, I'll come down by myself." This was a hoarse male voice muffled in the cracks of the rocks. It sounded like a young man.
Zhao Ning took a step back and saw the man forcefully squeezing half of his body out from the crack in the stone above. He probably scratched his back or pulled his muscles when squeezing. He wailed and got stuck. He paused for a moment in the stone crevice, but did not dare to wait for too long. After half a cup of tea, he finally squeezed himself out of the stone crevice and landed on the ground in a panic.
This was a thin young man, wearing clothes that were patched and whose color could not be seen clearly. The hem of his clothes had been completely torn into strips of cloth. Seeing Zhao Ning, he was both scared and surprised, but the surprise was even worse.
He knelt on the ground and saluted Zhao Ning nondescriptly, cupping his fists and saying, "Immortal, pay homage to the immortal, I am finally saved."
Zhao Ning looked at him like this, glanced at the things around him, and asked, "Why are you here?"
This man has no cultivation at all, not even a hint of magic, he is just an ordinary mortal.
But he happened to appear thousands of miles underground in the desert, in the belly of a stone snake that was so terrifying that even Zhao Ning couldn't resist it.
Seeing that Zhao Ning didn't have any ill intentions, the man no longer felt as tense as before. When he heard Zhao Ning's question, his shoulders slumped and he knelt down directly on the ground, "I'm unlucky. I accidentally fell into this stone snake." In my stomach, I blamed myself for being curious. I thought there was something shining inside the cave, so I walked in. Who would have thought that as soon as I entered, the stone snake jumped up. I slid down the stone wall and almost fell to death. "
He patted his calf, "But the leg is also broken."
Zhao Ning was stunned when he heard what he said. She felt helpless and squatted down, "Stretch out your legs."
The man's eyes lit up and he stretched out his stiff right leg. The meat on the calf of his right calf had turned black and was completely necrotic. The white bones could be faintly seen. Fortunately, the bones only had cracks and were not completely broken. However, the bones were not completely broken. Infection and necrosis are not far away, but he can still squeeze into the narrow gap above his head and kneel on the ground to kowtow to Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning really admires him.
Zhao Ning pressed her palm on the top of his calf, the spiritual light spread, the bones healed, and the wound on the calf recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The man was overjoyed and stretched his legs. He felt that the pain in his legs was gradually fading away, and he wanted to jump up and down.
Zhao Ning's expression did not change at all. It was really strange for this person to appear here. Zhao Ning did not recommend breaking the other party's guard in this way.
After a lot of trouble, the man quickly thanked Zhao Ning and said, "Thank you so much, fairy. The fairy is like a god descending to earth to save all living beings."
"I'm not a god, but your wound has been there for at least half a year. You can live like this in the belly of this stone snake for half a year, you are more like a god." Zhao Ning said flatly.
The man scratched the back of his head and said, "The fairy is joking. I am a little prepared. Oh, I don't know what the fairy is called yet. My name is Chen Hu, and I am the corpse mover."
"Lin Ying." Zhao Ning simply said her name, and then asked doubtfully, "The corpse mover?"
But looking at Chen Hu's expression, he seemed a little embarrassed and couldn't answer, "I don't know what the corpse mover does. In fact, it was the first time I came down with the master. The master told me to move the corpse Only by returning it to its owner can it rest in peace. Although, I don’t quite understand what this means.”
"What about your master?"
"Master accidentally fell into a crevice when he came down. I originally wanted to save him, but I didn't expect that there was a huge stone spirit guarding nearby. I didn't dare to get close, so I wandered nearby for a few days. I saw a cave entrance and thought... Is there any treasure inside that can help, but I don’t think it’s the mouth of this stone snake.”
Zhao Ning stared at him, "Come down, could you find a long staircase leading underground from the desert and follow the long staircase down?"
"That's it! Fairy Lin really knows everything." Chen Hu spoke glibly and kept flattering. He also showed his water bag to Zhao Ning, "This water bag contains inexhaustible water. I I have one each with my master. I heard from my master that it was given by a god. It not only quenches my thirst but also satisfies my stomach."
Zhao Ning felt slightly that the internal space of this water bag was very large and it was filled with water, but it was not pure water, but the spiritual water soaked by Zhu Yu.
I wish you the remaining grass, which looks like a leek and is green, so you won’t be hungry after eating it.
Zhao Ning returned the water bag to him. With this water bag and some trivial things found in the belly of the stone snake, it was not difficult to live inside the stone snake for half a year.
"Where are you going to move the body?"
"Master said it's at the end of the long steps, underground. I'm not sure."
This corpse mover is not simple, but the guy in front of him obviously knows very little, and he has the feeling that his master has forcibly recruited a disciple to drag him along to move corpses.
Zhao Ning didn't ask any more questions about the corpse mover. She stood up and asked, "Do you want to go out?"
Chen Hu nodded sharply. Even if he couldn't die here, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
He climbed up with a smile on his face, "Master said that no one can come here, not even immortals. I really thought I was going to live in this snake's belly for the rest of my life. I really didn't expect to meet any immortals."
Zhao Ning ignored his words and turned away. Chen Hu quickly rolled up all the things with his tattered bedding, carried them on his back, and ran after Zhao Ning.
"Fairy, how should we get out?"
Zhao Ning stood at the fork, "Do you know where the heart of this stone snake is?"
Chen Hu stayed in the belly of the stone snake for half a year and did not go anywhere. When Zhao Ning asked about his heart, he suddenly reacted and told Zhao Ning that it was not far ahead, but then said, "Fairy, that stone The snake's heart is extremely weird, and its surface is extremely hard and cannot be destroyed."
Apparently Chen Hu had thought about killing the stone snake before, but failed. Zhao Ning only said, "Go and take a look first."
Chen Hu was leading the way. The stone snake was probably resting at the moment. The entire passage was flat and horizontal, and even Chen Hu could easily walk in the passage.
Not long after, Chen Hu led Zhao Ning into a forked road. At the end of the forked road, a huge, beating stone heart could be faintly seen.
Chen Hu didn't dare to get closer and stopped when he was still three or four feet away.
Zhao Ning stepped forward to observe. The beating of the heart did not crack the surface stone seal, or it could be said that the entire heart was made of solid stone.
Having seen many living stones, the Stone Heart was no stranger to it, not to mention that this was not the first time Zhao Ning had seen the Stone Heart.
Zhao Ning lowered his hand, and dragon tooth thorns appeared in the palm of his hand. Since his heart was said to be strong, he just tried it with dragon teeth.
She did not take action directly, but turned slightly to look at Chen Hu behind her, and reminded, "Stand still."
Chen Hu was very smart. He realized something and looked around in panic. After a while, he simply hugged a stone pillar not far away with his hands and feet.
Seeing this, Zhao Ning no longer cared about him, raised both fingers forward slightly, drew out the sword technique, stabbed the dragon's teeth into a sword, and stabbed straight towards the heart of the stone.
A heavy blow, accompanied by an earth-shaking vibration for a moment, and amidst Chen Hu's heart-rending screams as he was thrown around, the surface of the stone heart was cracked, but after the cracking stopped, the stone heart only trembled , and then wrapped it with a layer of stone seal. Looking at the new luster of the stone seal, it is probably harder than before.
The rolling of the stone snake gradually stopped with this layer of wrapping. Chen Hu, who was exhausted, was thrown to the ground, with acid water pouring from his mouth, and half of his life seemed to be shaken by the shock.
Zhao Ning withdrew the dragon tooth thorn and looked down at him. Chen Hu said awkwardly, "Hey... hehe... don't worry, fairy, I'm fine, I'm still alive... vomit..."
Then he threw himself down and spit out acidic water.
Zhao Ning stared at the heart. Unless it was destroyed with one move, the surface of the stone heart would become harder and harder until even dragon tooth thorns could not pierce the surface.
Chen Hu calmed down a little, then held on to the stone wall and asked, "Fairy...Fairy...this thing shouldn't be forced. If it can't be destroyed, we might as well find other exits."
Other exits? In addition to the Shekou, do we also need to find the excretion port of the Stone Snake?
Zhao Ning glanced back at him, looking at Chen Hu's back in shock, and then quickly explained, "I don't mean to wrong the fairy, but... I just follow the situation in a hurry. As long as I can get out, everything will be easy. Easy to talk about, hehe."
At this moment, Zhao Ning stretched out his right hand, and a miniature beating stone heart appeared in the palm of his hand.
"Now, it's not the time to feel so aggrieved." Besides, this stone snake only swallows spiritual power, and all the debris is piled in its belly. Who knows if this stone snake will have another outlet.
"This...is this?" Chen Hu looked at the small stone heart in Zhao Ning's hand in surprise, and was even more puzzled.
Zhao Ning said, "This is the heart of another stone snake. When the hearts of two people resonate, it is fatal, and the same goes for other living beings."
I saw a ray of spiritual light hitting the small heart in the palm of my hand. Invisible fluctuations swayed in the dark, intersecting with the beating of the heart not far away. Driven by spiritual power, the beating speed of the small heart gradually synchronized with the big heart. In an instant, Both hearts beat ten times faster.
The earth-shaking shock came again. Fortunately, Chen Hu was prepared when Zhao Ning said the method and hugged Shizhu again.
Ten times, twenty times, a hundred times, a thousand times...
boom--
The huge heart suddenly exploded, and the impact force exploded to the surroundings. Zhao Ning took two steps back, holding a magic weapon and a spiritual shield to bless the two of them.
The impact of the explosion directly shook the stone snake's body apart, causing the snake's body to break into two halves at seven inches.
The tail half straightened suddenly at the moment of breaking, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Chen Hu was so shocked that his eyes rolled upwards and turned white. His limbs were unable to hold themselves on the stone pillars. His whole body fell to the ground, leaning back and paralyzing into a ball of dead flesh.
Re-perceiving the aura of heaven and earth outside, the sense of the flow of true energy in the body also disappeared. This feeling made Zhao Ning breathe a sigh of relief.
Chen Hu finally came to his senses from the violent collision. He climbed up with difficulty. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Suddenly, he felt that this seemingly delicate and delicate fairy was actually extremely nervous. It was scary, he flattered her even more, "The fairy is amazing, the fairy has unparalleled power, she is the most powerful fairy I have ever seen."
Zhao Ning looked back at him, "Have you seen other immortals?"
"Yes, Xiao Xiao also participated in planting spiritual roots when he was a child. I heard that the immortal master who planted spiritual roots for Xiao Xiao was a senior in the Foundation Establishment Realm and was extremely powerful. Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao was unable to plant spiritual roots. "
"The Fengshen Palace agency in the desert?"
"That's not true. There is nothing in the desert, so how can we establish a Fengshen Palace agency." Chen Hu said respectfully, "I have lived in a village near the desert since I was a child. There are only a dozen or so people in the village. I even went to a town hundreds of miles away to test it.”
Zhao Ning simply chatted with him. Looking around, the animated stones were lying on the ground pretending to be just stones. They were shivering. In a short period of time, they did not see any other dangers from the outside world. But that doesn't mean they can stay here and chat without any worries.
"Do you still remember where your master fell?"
