Chapter 54: The Thin Line of Fate
A small snake on the white deer sword was tightly wrapped around the blade. The snake body as thick as a thumb was full of green. The scales were broken by the blade before they were relieved after the blade had been broken and fell back into the grass.
"This kind of snake is called the water rope snake. It is extremely poisonous and only exists in wilderness."
Yang Xiu shook his wrist and shook off the snake blood from the sword, explaining to the two: "The water rope snake likes to live in dark places, but also likes nectar in the sun the most. Where such snakes appear, pure sun grass may grow nearby."
"Really?" Wu Kun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was very excited.
Pure Yang Grass is the main medicine of Pure Yang Pill, which is priceless and can be exchanged for valuable spirit stones or pills at the master's sect. Even if the team's spoils are equally divided by five people, it will be a considerable investment.
Yang Xiu nodded and said, "I have seen an introduction in an ancient book, so it should be right. But I would like to ask the two senior brothers to go to the tree canopy to take a look. Pure Yang grass likes light and is afraid of yin, and usually grows at extremely high places."
"No problem!" Wu Kun agreed immediately and immediately flew to the top of the big tree on the right.
Yang Xiu smiled and bowed to Lu Tiantu on the other side, saying, "Senior Brother Lu is working hard. We three can't get up to such a tall tree."
As the saying goes, don’t hit people with a smile. Yang Xiu’s attitude made Lu Tiantu very satisfied. He nodded and flew to the tree crown with his sword.
The three of them were waiting on the ground, and they were both young people, but they had some common topics. Zhang Wan was gentle and decent, and she was a lady from a noble family at first glance.
However, when Liu Xian and Zhang Wan were talking, Ai Ai blushed at any time, and there was no such aura as the rich young man. Yang Xiu kept shaking his head when he saw it.
"Yang Xiu, how do you know so many secrets about the wild world?" Zhang Wan, dressed in white, asked Yang Xiu curiously.
"Liu Xian also knows these things, but he is shy and doesn't like to talk."
Yang Xiu pointed at Liu Xian who was sneaking at Zhang Wan, and said with a smile: "Ask him, I'll take a look around."
Liu Xian was stunned when he heard this. He immediately realized that Yang Xiu was creating an opportunity for him. He gave Yang Xiu a grateful look and then smiled at Zhang Wan with a little nervousness.
Along the way, Yang Xiu told Liu Xian a lot of things to pay attention to, including some wilderness secrets.
Yang Xiu looked back at Liu Xian with a flushed face, thinking that if this is the case, you still can't seize the opportunity, so don't say it's my brother when you go out in the future.
Yang Xiu did not dare to go far, but just patrolled the two big trees. The forest was very strange. There was no branch within a few feet above his head. Further up there was a dense canopy covering the sky and the sun. At a glance, it looked like a huge palace with countless pillars standing up.
The forest was very quiet. Occasionally, I heard a few birds and beasts, but it was only heard from afar. Yang Xiu was very confident in his skills, holding a long sword in his hand and searching in the grass.
The more water rope snakes gather, the greater the chance of pure Yang grass appearing. As long as there is sufficient light, pure Yang grass can bloom all year round, which is the favorite of water rope snakes. After this time, Yang Xiu had discovered three small snakes and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
It seems that I have good luck, but I might really gain something.
Yang Xiu lowered his head and searched in the grass, and was also listening to Liu Xian and Zhang Wan whispering on the other side. Hearing Liu Xianqi Ai's a little nervous voice, he couldn't help but smile.
What a wonderful thing like the beginning of love is really nostalgic.
“Swishy…”
Yang Xiu was in a good mood, but a strange sound came from his ears that were out of place, and he immediately got goose bumps and raised his head reflexively.
In the dense canopy above his head, a big snake as dark green as emerald poked out from the green leaves. The two red eyeballs were as big as pomegranates and were hovering down from the trunks of the three people hugging each other.
What is surprising is that the abdomen two feet behind the snake's head actually had two short forelimbs. Yang Xiu could even clearly see the two sharp claws on it!
"Your sister..."
Yang Xiu cursed, his sword was horizontally standing in front of him, and a light talisman was slapped on his body and he had already retreated. He wanted to inform Liu Xian and the other side.
But the next moment, Yang Xiu knew that he was careless.
As soon as Yang Xiu moved, the upper body of the snake's protruding out suddenly shrank back and ejected out like lightning. After the big mouth was opened, there was no snake-headed and snake eyes, and he saw a scarlet mouth pounced on him.
Yang Xiu, who had traveled through time, had been scared to be swallowed by the big snake. However, after several times of life and death, Yang Xiu was not afraid at all. Instead, he stopped and raised his sword sideways. He was catching the moon under the sea, and the White Deer Sword accurately met his hideous tongue.
"Clang!"
Without the imagination, the White Deer Sword slashed the snake's head and bounced back hard. Yang Xiu's entire right arm was numb and he was staggered by the snake's lead.
The big snake was not easy. Yang Xiu's sword was "swinged" on his head, and he fell to the ground like a hemp rope and struggled. The scales on his mouth were smashed into pieces, and it was probably that Venus was also appearing in front of him now.
Adult water rope snake!
Yang Xiu recognized the first time he saw the big snake. His emerald green body, red eyes, and two front paws, were the adult body of the small snake before. According to ancient records, the strength of this type of water rope snake has reached the fourth level of body quenching, and has lived for at least a hundred years!
Magic weapons and swords are not easy to use...
Time flies. While Yang Xiu is stabilizing his body, the snake's body is also entrenched, and its upper body is more than six feet high. It is staring at Yang Xiu from a high point. The scales around his neck are exploded, and the hissing snake keeps sounding, obviously being beaten by Yang Xiu's sword.
Yang Xiu adhered to the principle that the enemy did not move and I did not move. He shook his numb right hand, and his left hand had quietly pinched a fire snake talisman.
The water rope snake belongs to the five elements of water. It is most afraid of heat. If I can't kill you, I can't burn you to death?
At this time, a strange noise suddenly came from the grass on the other side. Zhang Wan and Liu Xian rushed out one after another. They were shocked to see the scene in front of them, and immediately pulled out their respective weapons.
"The monster with the fourth level of body tempering is highly venomous!" Yang Xiu quickly reminded. The water rope snake scales are solid, but the most deadly one is snake venom. The cultivation level of the five people in the team cannot resist snake venom.
The two nodded to show their understanding, their steps moved lightly, and they formed a triangle with Yang Xiu to surround the snake in the middle.
It seemed that he felt danger. The snake scales behind the big snake's head stood upright, and his bright red tongue spitted longer. He took advantage of the fact that the three of them were not firmly standing and moved out like lightning, and headed straight for Liu Xian!
Yang Xiu was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that this beast would pick up soft persimmons and rushed towards Liu Xian, faster than Zhang Wan on the other side, and shouted: "Hurry up and use Taoist talisman!"
Liu Xian saw a monster for the first time. When he saw a big snake rushing over, his mind was blank. He couldn't remember the movements and moves he practiced normally. Fortunately, Yang Xiu roared and made Liu Xian come to his senses at the critical moment. He threw a Taoist talisman out of his cuff like a conditioned reflex.
"Bang!"
The Taoist talisman made a loud bang as soon as it touched the ground, and an earth wall of more than two feet thick condensed in front of Liu Xian. The big snake's head hit without reservation, and the slender snake body slapped on the earth wall like noodles.
The earthen wall could not withstand the violent impact of the monsters, and it instantly shattered and collapsed, and the snake and the wall flew out one by one. Liu Xian could not react as much as being swept by the snake's tail, and he screamed and fell into the grass.
At this time, Yang Xiu and Zhang Wan had already rushed over, and the long sword stabbed at the big snake one after another. Then they heard two crisp sounds of "dingding" and the sword edge was bounced away by the snake scales and could not penetrate the slightest.
However, the snake's attention was also attracted, and he turned his head and rushed towards Zhang Wan. Yang Xiu cursed in his heart when he saw it. These monsters were extremely intelligent, and some were no less than humans. The snake tasted Yang Xiu's power, so he focused on attacking Liu Xian and Zhang Wan.
In just a blink of an eye, the snake had already rushed to Zhang Wan.
Although the snake's body was large, it was like a rubber band that ejected, and it was as fast as lightning. Zhang Wan used her long sword to protect the door, but was hit by the snake's head, and flew backwards with a "bang!" and hit the thick tree trunk.
"court death!"
Seeing this, Yang Xiu was furious and suddenly threw out two Taoist talismans with his left hand. The talisman paper behind turned into an iron arrow in the air, and shot out with the fire snake talisman in front, and shot at the seven-inch position of the snake with a "ding" sound.
"call!"
The iron arrow shot on the snake scales was purely tickling, but the fire snake talisman was stimulated with the flow, and the bright yellow flames burst out like festive fireworks, instantly wrapping the first half of the snake.
The huge water rope snake made a tragic hissing, falling to the ground and rolling wildly, but it could not stop the flame from spreading to its entire body. In just a few breaths, the snake's body began to make a burst of burning oil.
The Taoist talisman relies on spiritual power to stimulate the flames. The spiritual power in the Taoist talisman will not be extinguished. Liu Xian got up from the grass and saw that Yang Xiu was fine, so he hurriedly ran to the other side to see Zhang Wan.
Seeing the big snake in the flames gradually stop struggling, Yang Xiu relaxed slightly, and then he felt a soreness in his right arm. Just now, the snake was astonishing with all its strength, and Yang Xiu almost tried his best to compete with the opponent in a draw.
If there is no talisman help, it is hard to say who wins and who loses with the White Deer Sword alone.
On the other side, Liu Xian supported Zhang Wan sitting on the ground with a worried look on her face. She was pushed hard by the snake's head, and Zhang Wan almost fainted. Fortunately, her injuries were not serious and she soon recovered from consciousness.
Liu Xian helped Zhang Wan up and felt distressed when he saw the other party's weak look. But at this moment, Liu Xian heard Yang Xiu's roar behind him: "Be careful!"
Liu Xian subconsciously turned his head and saw a "fire snake" more than six feet tall standing upright behind him. The big snake that should have been burned to death actually came alive!
The two sides were less than one meter apart, and Liu Xian could even see the blood and burning pieces of flesh dripping from the snake's hideous mouth. Without giving Liu Xian too much reaction time, the snake's body contracted slightly and then ejected suddenly!
