In the mountains filled with clouds and mist, towering ancient trees cover the sky and obscure the sun.
The sound of salsa sounded, and Xiao Ming and the others walked in the forest. The mist was lingering, and the white gauze floated softly in the air.
The inconspicuous sunshine is like wisps of golden sand, shining through the overlapping branches and leaves, and scattered on the grass. The grass is sparkling with crystal dew, exuding the fragrance of grass, flowers and moist soil.
.
Twitching his nose slightly, Xiao Ming said softly: "The sweetness in the air has disappeared a lot, and the low-level snakes nearby have also disappeared a lot. We should have reached the central area."
"Be careful later. By the way, Qinglin, your Jade Snake Three Flower Girls should have a certain attraction to the Ancient Sky Serpent. Remember to tell us if you find anything unusual."
"Yes!" Qinglin heard this and nodded his head gently to express his understanding.
"Old Yao, we'll have to worry more about our safety from now on."
"Don't worry." Lord Tianhuo said with a smile.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming didn't say anything else, and disappeared in one step, heading deeper into the mountains.
Lord Tianhuo and others quickly followed.
The deeper you go, the fewer the lower-level snakes become.
Half an hour later, Qing Lin felt something in his heart, stretched out his hand to grab the corner of Xiao Ming's clothes, and said: "Master, I sensed that something was calling me in the mountains over there!"
Xiao Ming, the Little Medical Fairy, and the Lord Tianhuo immediately looked at Qinglin. As expected, just as Xiao Ming thought, Qinglin had already felt the call before they searched carefully.
"Qinglin, is there anything special about this summons?"
"No, I just feel like it's calling me, asking me to hurry over." Qinglin blinked, then looked at Xiao Ming and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
Although it was true that he came to see the Tomb of the Heavenly Serpent this time, it was Xiao Ming who decided when to go.
"Of course I went directly." There was nothing to hesitate, Xiao Ming said directly.
"Okay." Lord Tianhuo and the Little Medical Immortal naturally had no other opinions.
Let Qing Lin lead the way, and the four of them disappeared like afterimages, leaving only the silent woods.
Passing through another lush forest and dangerous peak, Xiao Ming found that the aura of nearby snakes was getting stronger and stronger, and he encountered many fifth- and sixth-level snakes. This meant that he had truly penetrated into the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain Range.
"There are so many snake-like monsters in the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain Range, and their strength is not weak. It may be related to the fall of the ancient Sky Snake here. I don't know the reason."
Although the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain Range is large, it is nothing to Xiao Ming and others who have already penetrated deep into the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountains. If it were not for the purpose of not attracting attention, Xiao Ming and the others could actually directly let Lord Tianhuo open up the space and reach the center of the mountain range.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Ming and the others arrived at a group of mountains towering into the clouds.
This mountain range is filled with caves of various sizes.
After arriving here, Qing Lin, who was leading the way, did not stop and walked directly towards a certain cave.
Xiao Ming and others followed closely, and half an hour after the four of them left, a group of snake-like monsters of various sizes swam past where they were standing, with several human-looking old men and women mixed in among them.
The half-orcs with the bodies of snakes and beasts sweated. These snakes did not enter the cave that Xiao Ming and others had just entered. Instead, they traveled a few miles further and entered another cave.
…
The cave was extremely dark, and Qing Lin at the front held the moonstone high and walked in front.
The sound of footsteps was particularly harsh in the passage, and as it went deeper, the passage became increasingly narrow.
In addition, there is not only one road in the passage. The further inside, the more branch roads appear, intertwined like tree roots. It is extremely easy to get lost in it unless someone leads the way.
Correspondingly, the aura of the creature became increasingly scarce. At the back, even Xiao Ming could feel a faint coercion coming from the depths of the passage.
After walking a few dozen feet, everything suddenly became clear. In a small hidden valley, a cold snake skeleton stood there.
Judging from the length of the skeleton, the monster's body is hundreds of feet long. Judging from the shape of the bones, this monster has nine heads.
There are cracks all over the bones, and only four heads remain. It is unknown what kind of cruel battles he went through during his lifetime.
The place where Xiao Ming and others are located is a cave on the cliff of Xiaogu. At this moment, they and others are standing at the entrance of the cave, staring blankly at the bones below.
At this moment, Qing Lin said crisply: "It's me it called!"
"This pressure is definitely that of the ancient Heavenly Serpent!"
Venerable Skyfire lowered his right hand that was stroking his beard, and his eyes were a little solemn. The ancient sky snake in front of him seemed to have a higher level of cultivation than him.
"Be careful. You can call Qinglin, which means that this ancient heavenly snake should still have consciousness..."
Xiao Ming said cautiously, as if to confirm his words, a terrifying pressure erupted from the bones in front of him.
Wisps of blood-colored mist gradually dissipated from the bones, and as the mist dissipated, the originally dark bones gradually became lustrous.
Aware of such a change, Xiao Ming took a closer look and found that there was a half-meter-wide blood pool under the bones of the ancient heavenly snake. The bloody mist seemed to be emanating from the bones, but in fact it was just blood.
It's just an illusion caused by the pool just under the bones.
The sudden change made Xiao Ming and others not to act rashly, but to observe the changes closely.
…
Back to a few minutes ago, not far from the canyon where Xiao Ming and the four of them were, or to be precise, in the cave not far away, there was a pool of blood that was the same as the water of the Ancient Sky Snake Ancient Skeleton Pool.
However, this blood pool is much larger, a hundred feet wide. In the center of the blood pool, a strong man is floating cross-legged in the void, with traces of blood wrapped around his body, and slowly disappears.
Outside the blood pool, there are countless snakes hovering. The leaders are a few skinny old men, one of whom is the third elder. However, the one standing at the top is not standing at the top, but a long-distance running man wearing dark green clothes.
The sinister old man.
In addition, Xia Ran also appeared among thousands of snakes, but he was much smaller at this moment, and he was accompanied by a man with the body of a snake and beast.
"Is it time for blood sacrifice again?"
Suddenly, the strong man in the center of the blood pool slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bloodshot demon children, giving people a chilling feeling.
"Is everything ready?"
"Lord Snake Lord, we are ready, but do we really want to do this? After all, this sacrifice is an opportunity for us to replenish fresh blood..." The old man in green robe stepped forward and responded with a very hesitant tone.
"I have been stuck in the Five-Star Dou Zun for many years, and I can only rely on this method to break through." Snake Zun glanced at the green-robed old man indifferently, and his tone was very tough.
