A few nights later.
This is a night of full moon. The moon is bright in the sky above the black velvet-like sky. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The bright moonlight is shining silently. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the thousand-needle pine forest is as deep as a sea with slowly undulating waves. , only the waves of pine trees can be heard in the night.
Shangguan Hong has been wandering in this thousand-needle pine forest for several days. Now she is hanging in the night, her face is nervous and she is covered in cold sweat. Just now, she has just escaped from a crisis that frightened her.
Like Qian Chao and others, Shangguan Hong will also look for a hiding place to spend the night at night. Although not all monsters like to be active at night, all kinds of ferocious monsters still come out to look for food at night. , so it is best for monks to find a place to hide when they are out at night, and Shangguan Hong is no exception.
But Shangguan Hong did not have Qian Chao's ability to arrange formations. When Qian Chao spent the night outside, whenever he found a hiding place, he would arrange formations outside to prevent the spiritual energy of the five people from leaking out. Therefore, the five of them spent the night outside. It will be relatively safe at all times. But this is not the case for Shangguan Hong. Although she has a lot of experience outside, she usually finds a remote place to hide quietly for a night when she spends the night. Compared with Qian Chao and the other five, her way of spending the night is much different. . What needs to be explained here is that when Shangguan Hong spent the night outside, he was not in the forbidden area. Outside the sect, if ordinary monsters disturbed Shangguan Hong at night, they would definitely be killed by him, but in this thousand-needle pine forest , Shangguan Hong didn't dare to take action when faced with the numerous mid-level monsters here, so he could only hide.
On this day, Shangguanhong found a relatively deep cave to hide before nightfall. She thought it was safe here and lit a bonfire in the deepest part of the cave.
Just in the middle of the night, Shangguan Hong, who was thinking about something by the campfire, suddenly felt a warning sign in her heart. A strong uneasiness instantly invaded her whole body. Just outside the cave, she heard an obvious sound. The sound of rustling came from the entrance of the cave where she was hiding. It was obvious that something accompanied the sound. It first lingered at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then began to get in. Shangguan Hong could tell that the sound gradually entered the cave. , followed by the sound of stones falling from the cave walls and ceiling, and she immediately understood that there was some powerful danger coming in along the winding cave.
At this time, Shangguan Hong regretted that he should not have chosen a place with only one exit to hide. Now that the exit was blocked, it was already possible to catch a turtle in a urn.
Of course, Shangguan Hong had someone to rely on. She stood up and put out the bonfire while wrapping her cloak tightly around her body.
She got this cloak from her master Qiu Huahe after she returned to the sect. According to Qiu Huahe, this cloak was passed down to her by her master, Qiu Huahe's father Qiu Long. That day in Qiu Huahe In the cave of Hehe, he passed the cloak to Shangguan Hong. This cloak is called "Black Fur". It is said that Qiu Long found it in the practice world after breaking through the Yuanying realm. It was made by a Yuanying level weapon refining master. Qiu Long helped that weapon refining master It's a big favor, so I got this gift. As for the advantage of this cloak, it is that this cloak can be used by Nascent Soul monks, Dan-forming monks, Foundation-building monks, and even Qi refining disciples like Shangguan Hong. After putting it on the body, as long as it is filled with The spiritual energy can completely cover oneself in the face of powerful dangers. Because Qiu Huahe was looking for a white fox all over the world at that time, Qiu Long was worried about his son's safety, so he gave the black fur to Qiu Huahe.
Qiu Huahe was sentenced to a hundred years of solitary confinement for his own fault. His original promise to help his disciples find the Green Luan Egg could not be fulfilled. Therefore, he felt guilty, so he gave up this cloak. It was passed to Shangguan Hong, and now this cloak has become Shangguan Hong's life-saving thing.
Due to the poor airflow, the cave became stuffy. The embers of the bonfire on the ground were dotted with dark red. Other than that, the cave was pitch black and he could not see his fingers. However, Shangguan Hong could clearly see that there were signs along the direction of the cave. Two dark red lights slowly shone in, and there was a crackling sound at the same time. She immediately concluded that what came in was a huge snake.
The two dark red rays of light were exactly the light coming from the snake's eyes, and the crackling sound was caused by the snake letters that were constantly spat out of the big snake's mouth and whipped up and down!
The cave became narrower as it went inward, and eventually the big snake's head was stuck in the cave less than three feet from the bottom of the cave, and could no longer get in.
But a smell unique to snakes suddenly filled the small space.
In the cave, apart from the dark red bonfire embers on the ground, there was the red light in the eyes of the big snake. Shangguan Hong was a monk, so she could naturally see the big snake clearly in the darkness, and she recognized it immediately. What kind of monster is this? I became even more nervous at the same time.
It's anaconda!
Intermediate level demon snake.
An ordinary anaconda is no bigger than a large bucket, but although this one is still a mid-level monster, its body is as thick as a tree that can be hugged by two or three people!
It's probably because of the abundant spiritual energy in this forbidden area that this guy grows so thick.
When the anaconda passed by this place at night, it not only noticed the heat emanating from the cave, but also noticed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the heat. The monster's senses were far beyond those of ordinary monks, and it immediately concluded There was a meal of blood in this cave, so I crawled all the way in, but at the most critical moment, I got stuck in the narrow cave, and what annoyed me the most was, Just as it crawled along the cave, it suddenly lost its sense of the aura from before. However, its round and thick body completely blocked the cave, and it did not believe that its prey could He escaped, so he still got in all the way to see what happened.
A few embers were extinguishing on the ground in front of it, but there was nothing else. However, its body could no longer move forward. In anger, the huge anaconda opened its mouth and screamed at the bottom of the cave. !
Shangguan Hong instantly felt a wave of foul-smelling air blowing towards her face, making her dizzy. At the same time, her ears were also in constant pain, but she was not shocked by the neighing. Although the anaconda was big, its neighing was loud and clear. It wasn't a failure, but the small cave was almost completely closed at the moment, and the sudden surge of air pressed against her ears.
Shangguan Hong still made some movement in his panic, which made the anaconda suddenly excited. The huge snake head was pointed in the direction of Shangguan Hong. It seemed that the prey did not escape, but had something to cover its body. Means, the anaconda has also encountered such a thing in its experience of hunting other monsters. It seemed to have a way to deal with it, and then this anaconda began to slowly retreat. It was easy to come in, but retreating was very dangerous to the snake. It is extremely difficult for a human being. In addition, it had previously squeezed forward with all its strength in order to hunt for the blood food in the hole. Now it is very laborious to retreat.
And with the sound of scales scraping against the ground, Shangguan Hong suddenly understood what the guy in front of her was going to do. Although she couldn't see it in the dark, the color on her face almost instantly disappeared!
Python sucks!
Suddenly, he took a deep breath and swallowed everything in front of him!
This is a method used by big snakes in certain climates!
The reason why it wants to retreat is because its body shape has completely blocked the cave, and the air flow is not smooth. Only by retreating can the maximum power of the python's suction be unleashed!
Looking at the two dark red snake eyes in front of him that were moving back little by little, Shangguan Hong understood that if he didn't save himself, he would really become the prey of this big snake.
Is there any way she can save herself?
Of course there is.
But not much.
Shangguan Hong returned to the Five Spirits Sect from the Thousand Needles Pine Forest to find her master. Qiu Huahe gave her many things in order to prevent her from dying due to danger while searching for the Green Luan Egg, including There are things designed to deal with some powerful snakes.
It's a white powder.
In the world of spiritual practice, almost all big snakes, whether they have become weather or not, have their natural enemies coming from the air.
Ordinary little snakes in the world are afraid of eagles. Eagles have amazing eyesight and can detect traces of little snakes at high altitudes. Then they swoop down and accurately pick up the snakes with their sharp claws. They fly to a high altitude, release their claws, and then fall to death before eating. . The demonic snakes in the spiritual world are also afraid of those big birds with sharp beaks and sharp claws. Although not all big birds can prey on demonic snakes, some hawk-like demonic birds are still the formidable enemies of demonic snakes and are naturally vulnerable to all kinds of snakes. The demonic snake has great intimidating power.
The fine white powder that Shangguan Hong took out was carefully ground from the shells of eggs laid by a very powerful eagle. That kind of eagle almost exclusively feeds on various demonic snakes. Its eggs After the eaglet hatches, the egg shell is discarded. If a monk encounters it and has the eyesight to recognize it, he will put it away as if it were a treasure, and then grind it finely into powder. The egg shell is full of that kind of The aura of the big eagle has a great power to intimidate all kinds of powerful demonic snakes.
Unfortunately, Shangguan Hong didn't have much of this kind of fine powder in his hand, so she was a little reluctant to part with it after taking it out. But after all, life was important, and Shangguan Hong, who was pretentious and had plans for the future, certainly didn't want to do it like this at night. She died in an unknown cave inexplicably, so even though she couldn't bear to part with it, she still took it out and boldly walked forward and blew hard on the big snake head that was close at hand!
The results are immediate!
Shangguan Hong couldn't detect the scent of the big eagle in the fine powder at all, but the anaconda in the cave was completely different. The fine powder scattered and fell on the anaconda's head. Suddenly, the anaconda seemed to be in a pocket. A pot of boiling hot oil was poured on the head, and it was like being hit hard on the head. Suddenly, a horrified scream sounded, and the entire cave immediately shook violently, and rocks fell, making Shangguan Hong unable to hide. The anaconda, which was struggling to retreat, retreated back as fast as lightning. Many of its scales were cut off due to the violent friction with the cave wall. Almost at the same time, there was a rumble at the entrance of the cave. The sound was caused by the anaconda's violent retreat, which caused the cave entrance to almost collapse.
The kind of fine powder that Qiu Huahe gave to Shangguan Hong could scare away even demonic snakes of the level of Arrow Pig and Haoxiao Bird, let alone anaconda which was just an intermediate level demonic beast.
Shangguan Hong was stunned for a moment by the power of this fine powder. She immediately realized that she was still in danger, woke up immediately, and then immediately rushed out. The black fur cloak almost always appeared. It was consuming her spiritual energy all the time. If she was killed by this anaconda again at the moment when she could no longer hold on, she would really hate it, so she broke through the rocks that were almost piled up into a wall at the entrance of the cave, Shangguan Hong's figure suddenly flew into the air.
Under the moonlight, Shangguan Hong saw that the trees below were boiling. The huge anaconda still had not gotten rid of the great fear brought by the fine powder, and it moved wildly and randomly around the mountains and forests. As he walked and collided, the nearby rocks cracked, the trees broke, and there was a loud rumbling sound, and then he fled far away, causing many other monsters to roar in fear!
