Chapter 62

Nine-Infant Demon Snake.

"Fellow senior brothers, this way!"

In the bamboo sea at the foot of the mountain, a gust of wind passed, and the bamboo leaves rustled. On the giant bamboo that seemed to reach the sky, several escape lights were stopping and going from time to time, as if they were one with the bamboo leaves. Even from the momentum, they looked no different. One of the young girls transmitted her voice, "We just injured the eyes of this snake's 'looking at the ground' head. At this time, we must not fly into the sky to escape. Just hide in the low altitude and wait for its injuries to become more serious before killing it!"

The cultivators agreed one after another, each attaching themselves to the bamboo. They only heard the rustling wind in the distance, as if it were the wind blowing the bamboo leaves, but it was much more regular than the wind, constantly traveling through the forest. Not long after, a large snake swam from the forest. The snake's upper body was held high. The giant bamboo was already hundreds of feet high, but the snake's upper body was half the height of the bamboo. Its tail swam in the bamboo forest, more than a mile long. The upper body had already arrived, but the tail tip was not yet seen. The part that was originally the snake head was overlapped with three human heads from top to bottom, one looking at the sky, one looking at the ground, and one looking straight ahead.

Among them, the human head looking at the ground had its eyes closed, its face was covered with scars, and the tip of its nose was also cut off, still dripping blood. This side had a lot of pain, but the other two heads were still grinning, looking left and right in the forest, their noses twitching, obviously sniffing for the breath of living people. However, the cultivators were all hiding under its waist near the ground. The three-headed snake circled around in the forest, with a look of irritability appearing on its face, obviously having sensed something, but the head it usually used was already seriously injured, so it was ultimately unable to accurately locate the enemy, which made it very unhappy.

After the fight, the cultivators knew the monster was powerful. At this time, they were all holding their breath, not daring to transmit their voices to talk, each driving the magic treasure given by the sect to hide their tracks. The three-headed snake was also very patient, tossing and turning in the bamboo forest. The human head turned to one side, and the snake body was still surging and rolling, circling in the forest, as if it regarded this place as its nest, rolling into a snake formation. The five-colored patterns rolled and shifted in the snake formation, which made people feel very disgusted after watching for a long time, as if it could disrupt the operation of magic power in the inner-landscape world.

The three-headed snake circled for a while, suddenly rolled onto a cluster of giant bamboo, forcibly bundling this bamboo, which was as thick as a giant tree and as hard as refined steel, into a bundle. The snake body circled up along the giant bamboo to explore from a height. Naturally, if any cultivator was hiding in this cluster of giant bamboo, they would mostly be finished if it rolled like this.

The snake blood was fishy and smelly, dripping all over the ground in the forest, and was blown to the branches by the wind. Everyone felt dizzy, but this monster was powerful and the snake skin was extremely tough. Ordinary magic treasures were hard to hurt it. It had at least the cultivation of the upper layer of Foundation Establishment. Most of the dozen disciples had just reached Foundation Establishment, and they really didn't know how to fight this snake. Being able to seriously injure one head just now was relying on Senior Brother Li's full-force strike, but Senior Brother Li could only slash this sword. In the rush, his magic power had not recovered, so he could not slash again to kill this monster. After slashing this sword, he drove the sect's magic treasure and fled, losing contact with everyone. Everyone took advantage of the timing of his sword slash to flee here together. Knowing that if they fled further, they would be caught up by the snake demon, they had to hide first, hoping that the snake demon could not find the enemy's tracks and would return to its nest to heal, and then they would find an opportunity to kill the monster.

But if the snake demon didn't act as they expected and fought here, I'm afraid they would have to lose a few lives to end it? The girl's heart was also beating wildly. She hurriedly held the Body-Cleansing Mantra so as not to let the sound of her heartbeat leak out, thinking, "Since I started cultivating the Dao, five or six out of ten fellow disciples have died. I didn't expect that today, I might become one of those who fell halfway on the Dao path."

What would happen if the snake demon discovered someone and killed them? At this time, everyone didn't know, and could only hide and wait with trepidation. If a cultivator couldn't hold back and wanted to flee, if discovered, they would become the target of the snake demon's hunt, but they could also bring a chance for the others to escape. However, everyone was very patient. Even if the snake demon circled upward and the faces were already far away from the height where they were hiding, no one acted rashly. The girl also smiled bitterly in secret, thinking, "They are all old foxes who have fought in the knife mountain and sea of fire. How could they not understand the truth? Sigh, there are too few idiots. By now, there are not many left."

However, everyone was a disciple of a famous sect, and ultimately had a bottom line. Although they each knew where the others were hiding, at this critical moment, everyone just relied on their own fate, and no cultivator framed their peers or secretly led the way for the snake demon. At this time, they were also silently hiding. The snake demon was old and cunning. Everyone had fought with it for a while and saw through this point. At this time, it climbed upward, just a trick to lure the enemy, and it was very likely that it would slide to the ground in the next second to search for the enemy's tracks. If someone was scared by its unpredictability and couldn't keep their mind steady, and was sniffed out by it, they wouldn't be able to escape its sharp mouth.

However, this time, everyone's worries didn't come true. The snake demon seemed to have discovered something at a high place. Two hoarse cries suddenly came from the air, sounding like sharp tools rubbing against each other, which was extremely harsh. Only then did the snake body roll upward, extremely fast, much faster than when it was searching for everyone just now. It could be seen that the snake had hidden some strength just now, and now that it met an enemy and was excited, it showed it all.

The top of the bamboo forest rustled, and bamboo leaves kept falling like rain in the forest. The leaves were also mixed with blood beads the size of a bowl. The snake demon didn't take long to go far, actually swimming over from the top of the bamboo sea. Someone among the cultivators excitedly transmitted his voice, "Everyone, we are out of danger! It's such a coincidence, it climbed up just now and bumped into someone else?"

"Not good." The girl's expression changed, "This place is rarely visited, where would there be anyone else? Don't tell me it found Senior Brother Li!"

Senior Brother Li's full-force sword seriously injured the monster, and the snake demon naturally hated him to the bone. If it found his tracks, it was natural for it to ignore the enemies in front of it. The girl hurriedly transmitted her voice, "Everyone, Senior Brother Li just said clearly that after one sword strike, he needs at least two hours to adjust his breath. We must not retreat now. We must protect Senior Brother Li, otherwise there is no way to survive!"

Whether out of morality or weighing the pros and cons, scattering and fleeing at this time was the worst decision. Everyone also understood the truth and each hid their escape lights, chasing after the snake demon's tracks. Not long after, they encountered a high cliff. Only then did the girl understand, "That's right, this person must be on the cliff top, that's why the snake demon flew over from the bamboo sea... but... Senior Brother Li knows that the snake demon's 'looking at the ground' head is injured, so he wouldn't choose the cliff top to hide and heal, right? Could it be that the person who came is really not Senior Brother Li?"

If it was a cultivator passing by, she naturally couldn't risk her life to save them, but she was worried and confused. Although she was suspicious in her heart, she still wanted to see it with her own eyes. She gritted her teeth in secret, held the protective magic treasure given by the sect in her hand, and injected magic power, so she could activate it at any time. Only then did she use the Earth Escape technique along the cliff wall, turning into a dark yellow light, hiding along the cliff wall and going up. Soon she reached the top edge of the bamboo sea and boldly looked up. She saw the snake demon circling the bamboo tips in the distance. Although the distance was far, the body was huge and could be seen at a glance. The girl had tried her best to hide her breath, but when she showed her head, the head looking straight ahead turned in her direction, and a look of extreme human-like mockery appeared on its face. The girl was terrified and almost fled, but she knew that her breath had probably been locked by the snake demon, so she hardened her heart, turned over and flew to the cliff top, shouting, "Fellow Daoist, I'm here to help you!"

She escaped to this place and could distinguish that the breath on the cliff top was not Senior Brother Li, but a strange aura. But this aura was vast and continuous, obviously the person's magic power was not shallow, and they were confronting the snake demon without any intention of fleeing. Hearing this sound, the person smiled, "Oh? You are kind-hearted."

While the two were talking, the girl had already jumped onto the cliff top. She saw a white-clothed female cultivator standing in front of the cliff. In the rush, she couldn't see her face clearly, only that her figure was thin and graceful, and her voice was sweet and crisp, but full of arrogance and disdain. At this time, she held the long sword on her back with her backhand and slowly drew it out. Although she answered her, she didn't look at her at all. Her aura was released forward, already locking onto the demon snake above the bamboo sea in the distance, and she said indifferently, "But there is no need for this."

The demon snake was inherently fierce. At this time, its ferocity was aroused. All three heads opened their mouths and let out sharp whistles, actually blasting out rolling ripples forward, as if even the air was shaken by its whistling sound. The girl hurriedly shouted, "The supernatural power is terrible, Fellow Daoist, be careful to avoid its edge!"

As she spoke, she had already activated the magic treasure, forming a pale yellow earth-line true light shield in front of her, which barely blocked the sound waves. The female cultivator was not afraid at all, called out "Well come!", pulled out her sword and swept out of the cliff, but the sword light was like a needle, piercing the sound waves, the sword momentum was like a rainbow, flashing in the air, and slashed towards the demon snake!

The demon snake saw the sound waves were broken, and was even more angry. Its tail flicked, and it jumped into the high sky, actually much higher than the cliff top. A giant snake covered the sky and the sun in the air. In the strange whistling sound, poison rain sprayed down, covering the giant snake and flying towards the girl! The girl watched nervously from the side and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, be careful! This snake is best at pouncing and biting! It has poison in its mouth, and its scales are tough, you can only slash its head!"

She had already spoken extremely fast, but the downward momentum of the giant snake was so swift that it fell above the female cultivator before the words fell. The female cultivator dodged in the poison rain, her figure as fast as a cold light. In the momentum field, the change of her momentum was also too fast to be locked. Only hearing her light chant, the treasure sword turned into a cold light, and she slashed upward with her body. The giant snake was several times her size, and the sword light looked very small in its arms. For a moment, the girl simply thought the female cultivator was sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, and would be strangled by the giant snake in the next moment, almost turning back and closing her eyes, unable to bear to look again. But only seeing the sword light slash down, releasing a bright light, the giant snake's upper body was rushed by this sword light, and it flew out horizontally backward, but the second half was still strangled on the bamboo tips. Actually, with one sword, the female cultivator slashed off its upper body!

The sharpness of the sword light even sealed the two sides of the wound. A moment later, the snake blood splashed down like a waterfall. The air was suddenly extremely fishy and smelly. The snake blood dripped on the bamboo leaves, constantly making a burning "chi chi" sound. The upper body fell backward and smashed into the bamboo forest, making a loud noise and stirring up countless dust. The female cultivator shook off the dirty blood on the sword tip, returned the sword to its sheath, turned over and jumped back to the cliff front, still checking her sleeves, frowning, "It's really too smelly, I didn't get any on me, did I?"

The girl was already dazzled and fascinated. If she hadn't felt the Golden Core pressure, she would have almost thought it was a senior expert. She bit the tip of her tongue, collected her mind, hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, first thanked the female cultivator for her help, and apologized for attracting the snake monster but failing to kill it. Only then did she exchange names, saying, "The younger sister is Meng Lingyue, a disciple of the Pinghai Sect. This time, thanks to the elder sister's rescue, I will keep this great kindness in my heart. I don't know where the elder sister is from? Where are you going this time?"

The female cultivator saw that she hadn't been stained with dirty blood, and she was happy again. She flew towards the place where the snake demon fell. Meng Lingyue hurriedly followed behind, listening to her say casually, "I am a disciple of a nearby sect, traveling out. The elders in the sect all call me Xiao Ci. You can call me that too."

This was unwilling to reveal her surname, but Meng Lingyue was not angry, but convinced, and even more secretly weighed Xiao Ci's background, while sending a signal to let her companions meet here.

After all, she was willing to fight the enemy with Xiao Ci in a dangerous situation, so Xiao Ci also looked at her with high regard. After everyone met for a while, Meng Lingyue let her companions go to decompose the snake demon's corpse and discussed with Xiao Ci, "Senior Sister Ci, this monster was killed by you alone, and you saved us from a dangerous situation. According to reason, all the produce should be given to Senior Sister, but we have a senior brother who also injured the snake demon's head before—why don't you take 80% and give him 20%, Senior Sister, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Senior Sister Ci frowned first, "Don't call me old, I'm definitely younger than you."

She also said, "When this monster was killed by me, its magic power was not at its peak. Your senior brother's sword injured its foundation, and the sword technique has quite a mystery. The sword Qi is still constantly damaging its foundation in the snake demon's body. If not for this, it wouldn't be so unwise to come and provoke even knowing it was not an opponent. His credit is greater than you think. Let's do this, I'll only take 50%, and you can distribute the rest yourselves. It's hard work for you to dismantle the flesh and blood, so it's only right to share some."

Meng Lingyue secretly measured, seeing that this Junior Martial Sister Ci had some innocent taste in her laughter, she knew that she was indeed not old, and she didn't dare to underestimate her. She just regarded her as a disciple of a prosperous sect, not wanting to reveal her identity, attracting everyone to climb, and seeing that she understood things, was kind and generous, and didn't care about the gains from killing the enemy at all, she gave birth to the intention of making friends. Just as she was about to compliment a few more words, an escape light flashed in the forest, and a green-shirted cultivator fell into the crowd, saying loudly, "Fellow Daoist is polite, I think I can't slash this monster with one sword. If Fellow Daoist takes 50%, I only dare to take 10%, which is fair."

Senior Sister Ci looked at him when she heard the words and smiled, "Oh, you are the one who used the sword."

Meng Lingyue's face was still smiling, but her heart was stunned. She followed and looked at Senior Brother Li. Senior Brother Li clasped his fists and said, "I am Li Pingyan of the Golden Wave Sect, I have met Fellow Daoist. May I ask Fellow Daoist's name?"

Senior Sister Ci pondered for a moment and said, "My name is Xiao Ci. Your sword technique is not bad."

But she still didn't mention her sect. Li Pingyan pondered for a moment and looked at Meng Lingyue. Meng Lingyue felt bitter in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, shaking her head slightly, indicating that Xiao Ci hadn't revealed her sect to her either.

Li Pingyan didn't ask further, turned and looked at the snake corpse like a small mountain, and said, "Miss Ci's sword technique is even more brilliant. Although this Nine-Infant Snake hasn't grown up yet, it has at least the cultivation of the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment. Miss can kill it with one sword, Li is ashamed of his inferiority."

The next sentence asked, "Where is the girl going? If there is nothing important, why not return to the sect market with us to deal with the snake demon's skeleton."

He didn't hesitate at all and invited Xiao Ci to go together. Meng Lingyue carefully observed Li Pingyan's expression, sighed slightly, but didn't wait for Xiao Ci to answer, and turned to chat and walked to the snake demon's side, pulled out the dagger at her waist, and cut the snake demon's flesh and blood one by one, and got busy.
