Although the Golden Flower Venomous Python is huge, its movements are extremely flexible. It can move through the dense forest without any hindrance and is extremely fast.
In just a few breaths, the Golden Flower Poison Python had already caught up with Bai Rong. A sac in the blood mouth expanded, and a purple poisonous gas spurted out from it, surging down.
Bai Rong saw that she couldn't avoid it, so she immediately turned around, raised her hand to hold a small bronze mirror, and headed towards the poisonous python to reflect it.
I saw a white light on the mirror, and a round shield made of white light condensed in front of him.
The surging purple energy fell on the light shield, making bursts of "puff" sounds, but it could not be defeated.
However, the poisonous gas that escaped leaked from both sides of the round shield and approached Bai Rong.
Yuan Ming saw that she was about to be overwhelmed by the poisonous gas, and when he was hesitating whether to step forward to rescue her, he suddenly saw that Bai Rong's figure had quickly retreated, and a simple-looking bell appeared in her other hand.
"Danglang"
She shook violently, and the bell jingled loudly.
At this time, a black shadow suddenly flew down from an ancient tree next to the Golden Flower Poison Python.
Accompanied by a "chi" sound.
The huge head of the Golden Flower Poison Python immediately fell down. While blood was scattered everywhere, the poisonous gas spewed from the sac in its mouth also stopped abruptly.
Behind the Golden Flower Poison Python, a man in black walked out with swaying shoulders.
"Zombie Control! Is she a disciple of the Black Fire Sect?"
When he saw the appearance of the man in black clearly, Yuan Ming couldn't help but frown.
His whole body was not dressed in black, but was wrapped in black ribbons from head to toe. Only two deep-set eye sockets were not wrapped, revealing two groups of green lights.
On the outside of his two arms, two slender scimitars were installed somehow, and they were stained with the blood of poisonous pythons.
After killing the Golden Flower Poison Python, Bai Rong did not step forward, but quickly came to the stone wall here and looked at it carefully, as if she was looking for something.
Yuan Ming was a little surprised when he saw this. He did not show up and just observed silently.
Not long after, he saw Bai Rong searching the stone wall, taking out something, and pressing it on a stone under the stone wall.
After putting it away, Bai Rong took the corpse and left in a hurry.
After his figure disappeared, Yuan Ming ducked out from behind the tree and went to the stone wall to search suspiciously.
After he turned over the stone, he found that underneath it was a jade talisman similar to the one given by Baiye Sanmeng. It seemed to be some kind of beacon to guide the way.
Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment, but did not move rashly without knowing what it was.
He covered the stone again.
When he tried to chase Bai Rong again, he could no longer find any trace.
Yuan Ming turned around again, only to see that the black toad he had placed on the perimeter had actually run onto the body of the Golden Flower Poison Python.
He quickly chased after him and saw that the vines extending from the bulge on the black toad's back had penetrated into the poisonous python's corpse, and seemed to be absorbing the remaining power of the poisonous python.
After a while, the body of the golden flower poisonous python, which was originally bulging with muscles, gradually became shriveled and shrunken.
The black toad squatting aside was exuding a faint black mist, and the vines on his back were jumping and swaying, obviously having gained a lot of benefits.
"I've only heard of snakes swallowing toads, but this is the first time I've seen a toad swallow a snake." Yuan Ming couldn't help but murmured to himself.
Black Toad immediately jumped up in front of him, giving a positive answer.
When Yuan Ming thought about it, he understood in his heart.
When he relied on the art of wearing fur to survive, wasn't he also hunting ferocious beasts and devouring their flesh and blood to increase his strength?
Therefore, it is normal that the little black toad swallowed those poisonous moths before and now swallows the golden flower poisonous python to replenish the poison with poison.
"Since you love eating poison so much, let's go and I'll take you to eat until you're full." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
The little black toad immediately let out an excited cry, kicked off the ground with both feet, and jumped up onto Yuan Ming's shoulders.
Under the guidance of Soul Crow, Yuan Ming continued to explore forward.
The further inward you go, the thicker the poisonous miasma becomes.
Later, Yuan Ming gradually felt uncomfortable and his breathing began to become heavier.
Just when he was about to stop and rest for a while, there was a sudden sound of fighting not far ahead.
"Bai Rong?" Yuan Ming subconsciously thought of that woman.
As soon as he thought, the soul crow flew over there first.
But after Yuan Ming used Soul Crow's sight to see clearly, he realized that the person fighting over there was not Bai Rong, nor was he alone, but two people, Mang Dolphin and Kun Sha.
The two people were surrounded by four huge golden flower poisonous pythons in the center, and they were struggling to support themselves by relying on a defensive magic weapon in the hands of the wild dolphins.
But the protective light shield emitted by the magic weapon was already riddled with holes, and it was obvious that it wouldn't last long.
"Are you ready? Are you okay?" Mang Dolphin, who was controlling the magic weapon, kept urging.
Kunsha was also working anxiously, and kept saying: "It's almost there, it's almost..."
When Yuan Ming saw this scene, he felt something was wrong.
These four golden flower poisonous pythons are only at the fourth or fifth level of Qi refining at best. How could they push these two people to such a point?
At this moment, there were sudden and frequent movements in the mountains and forests.
Even though he was far away, Yuan Ming could feel the earth shaking violently.
At this time, through Soul Crow's line of sight, he saw huge shadows emerging from the billowing mist, and hundreds of Golden Flower Poison Pythons jumped out, swarming towards the two of them like a tide.
Under the huge pressure, Mang Dolphin's defensive weapon finally failed to hold up and collapsed.
But at the same time, a red light rose from the center of the two people, and then a ball of red mist exploded.
Accompanied by the painful roar of the wild dolphin.
The diffuse red mist was highly corrosive, forcing the approaching Golden Flower Poison Pythons to retreat.
And because of the spread of the mist, a large number of Golden Flower Poison Pythons turned around and rushed towards Yuan Ming.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming quickly summoned the soul crow back, while he put away the black toad and evaded towards the mountain wall.
However, before he could run very far, the poisonous golden flower pythons were already twisting their bodies and rushing towards him.
"No! This is a beast-level disaster!" Yuan Ming knew that he couldn't resist at all, so he quickly climbed up the mountain wall.
Just when the beast tide was about to come, he climbed up a stone cliff in the middle of the mountain wall, where he saw a black cave that was as tall as a person.
Yuan Ming quickly rushed into the dark cave entrance. He took one step out, but his feet fell away. He lost his balance and fell forward.
Fortunately, there was only a steep slope in front of him, not a cliff. After a few rolls, Yuan Ming put one hand on the ground to stop his roll, and stood up.
Only then did he realize that the passage inside the cave was unusually wide.
Within the passage, there is a stream of warm air constantly blowing out, blocking the poisonous miasma fog outside at the entrance of the cave. Apart from darkness, there is no miasma inside.
Yuan Ming stretched out his palm forward, gathered some mana, and formed a fireball the size of a fist.
As the fingertips moved forward a little, the fireball flew out with a "whoosh" and flew downwards until it suddenly exploded ten feet away.
Yuan Ming turned sideways to avoid the scalding air waves, and used the exploding sparks to see clearly what was going on inside.
The passage diagonally downwards is extremely deep, and the passage is not empty. There are many white and huge animal bones scattered on the ground, and the number becomes more and more as you go downwards. It looks like a graveyard of beasts.
As Yuan Ming thought, the soul crow flew inward first to help him explore the route.
After walking for about a while, the soul crow finally passed through a pile of bones that almost blocked the entrance of the cave and flew into an open and dark space.
The reason why it is said to be gloomy rather than dark is because this space is not completely underground.
Above it, a narrow opening was opened, with faint light leaking in. It could barely be regarded as a sinkhole.
Following closely behind, Yuan Ming punched open the large piece of animal bones blocking the entrance of the cave and arrived here.
As soon as he entered it, he couldn't help but shudder.
It was obviously a sinkhole with skylight exposed, but it seemed to be a bit colder than the inside of the passage just now.
The higher you go up the sinkhole, the more vibrant the surrounding stone walls become, covered with green moss and various ferns. Near the entrance of the cave, there are a large number of vines, covering the already narrow entrance.
More hidden.
On the ground in the sinkhole, there are also corpses of wild beasts scattered everywhere, most of them have decayed, and only a few have uncorrupted fur.
After carefully checking around, he found no danger. He just saw a strange-looking black dead tree in the middle of the sinkhole.
It was only three feet tall, shaped like coral, and had many tentacles. It was as black as ink, but had a metallic luster, and it looked like it was made of black iron.
So at first, Yuan Ming really thought it was a lump of iron.
But when he looked carefully, he found that there were wooden textures on the "iron knots", scars from old trees, and exposed roots at the roots of the trees.
However, the entire tree was obviously dead, with no leaves growing.
At the bottom of the tree root, there is a slightly sunken pit, and there are still traces of water that once collected in it.
Yuan Ming reached out and waved over the bottom of the pit, but without touching it directly, he felt a cold aura.
"Could this be the rumored underworld tree?"
An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered what it was.
According to the records in the book, in some places where Yin Qi gathers, by chance, springs can gather, attracting the Yin Qi from the earth's veins to form springs.
The spring water formed is Yinling Spring.
And if a tree species falls in it and takes root and sprouts, the tree that grows out is a Huangquan tree.
Therefore, depending on the seeds that fall into the Yinling Spring, the shape of the Huangquan tree has no fixed shape. Some can grow into a thick and large tree, which can be used to make coffins, which can protect the body from decay for hundreds of years.
Some can only grow into short plants like the ones in front of Yuan Ming. Bracelets or sandalwood made from them have very good calming and soothing effects.
In the refining of some special magic weapons, the wood of the Huangquan tree can also be used as one of the main spiritual materials.
