After leaving the shop, Gu Qingling saw the deep pits on the ground made by thunder, and asked curiously: "Big python, what's going on with this thunder? It's so terrifying, it feels like it can kill people."
When facing her, the python was always very patient and said in a lazy tone: "It's nothing terrible. I'm just used to gathering prey in this way so that I can swallow it in one bite."
Jiang Yanzhou paused slightly and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Did you make this thunder? Gathering prey...?"
At this time, everyone discovered that Black Marsh City was extremely quiet, and the shops on both sides were empty, as if they were the only ones left in the whole world.
Gu Tan made a bold guess: "Did you eat all the monsters in Black Marsh City?"
The giant python nodded slightly. Facing the astonished eyes of several people, he looked calm and calm. Upon closer inspection, he looked a bit more dignified and elegant: "Well, this was Gu Jingmu's idea. It's quite good. I always pass by
I will come here for a meal from time to time."
The demon world is full of dangers, but this town is safe and sound under the protection of the giant python. Therefore, many demon beasts will always gather here to live there. Whenever the number reaches a certain level, he will use thunder to drive them together and have a feast. The three people who learned the truth were a little silent. Gu Qingling felt a little cruel at first, and then thought about it carefully: after all, Warcraft is not a good thing. Now that they are killing each other, they can be regarded as killing people...?
After leaving Black Marsh City, the giant python led them all the way forward, heading straight for the Nine Layers Demon Palace.
There is no change between day and night in the demon world. The sky always shows a light gray color. Occasionally, dark purple clouds float by. At a glance, a few black shadows appear vaguely in the clouds, and the demonic and turbid aura suddenly increases. Gu Qingling noticed that the closer they got to the Nine Level Demon Palace, the more monsters they encountered. When the giant python was resting, she heard Jiang Yanzhou mention that the monsters they encountered in Black Marsh City were all third-level monsters, which were the ones they encountered back then.
Attacking the Gu family.
But after they followed the giant python for a while, the strength of the surrounding monsters became stronger and stronger. Jiang Yanzhou even saw a sixth-level monster with his own eyes, which was equivalent to the cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building.
What's even more terrifying is that not long after this sixth-level monster appeared, it was swallowed alive by a more powerful monster, and it couldn't even scream.
This is the law of the devil's world, the strong live and the weak die.
But the giant python next to them seemed not to be bound by the law. No matter how powerful the monster was, it would only take detours after encountering him. Occasionally, there would be a few who were ready to move, but before Lu Qingling and others could react, the giant python would open its mouth.
Swallow it.
His snake body also enlarged in a circle, and when he was about to approach the edge of the Nine Layers Demonic Palace, the giant python was already as huge as a pavilion. Gu Qingling and the others stopped walking and sat directly on the giant python's body.
When Gu Qingling woke up from her sleep, she found that the giant python had stopped moving and was squatting by the river to drink water. There were many remains of monsters scattered around him, and its abdomen had been cut open.
Split Sky hung slowly in front of him, looking like he had eaten and drank enough, and said with a rare joy in his voice: "This giant python is really a teachable child! It attracted many monsters, but I killed them all. So many insides.
Pill, enough to restore 10% of my strength!"
In contrast, Gu Qingling seemed much calmer. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, her eyes filled with water vapor, and her voice was soft and soft as if she had just woken up: "Split day, how long have we been walking?"
She only remembered chatting with Jiang Yanzhou and others when she woke up, and going to sleep when she was sleepy. If they were hungry, Split Sky would get some fruits that the humans could eat, so as to prevent them from starving before they even arrived at the Demon Palace.
Die.
Split Heaven said: "How do I know? It must have been five or six days! This is normal. The vastness of the devil world is beyond your imagination."
Gu Qingling sighed and saw that Jiang Yanzhou and Gu Tan were still sleeping, so she lay on the giant python again. When she raised her head, she found that the giant python had lost its human form and its pale golden snake eyes were staring at her silently, as if it had something to say.
Speak.
She hesitated for a moment, then slid off the snake with Huitian, and ran towards the giant python: "What's the matter?"
The giant python opened its mouth slightly: "I am about to hibernate here. It is only half a day away from the Nine Layers Demon Palace. You have to walk there by yourself."
Gu Qingling nodded and said in a serious tone: "Yes! I know, Giant Python, thank you for carrying us all the way! When I get out, I will ask my elder brother to bring you delicious food."
She felt that the giant python must really like to eat, because he kept mouthing all the way and ate a lot of monsters.
The giant python nodded, and his tone seemed a little happy: "I believe you. By the way, there are a few bugs passing by the Nine Layers Demon Palace. Be careful when you get close, don't get bitten by bugs."
Insect? Gu Qingling didn't understand what she meant, so she nodded stupidly, then suddenly thought of Pei Hongdu, and said hurriedly: "By the way, Giant Python, do you know the Ancestral Demon?"
The python's slightly closed snake eyes suddenly widened, its vertical pupils tightened, and it said in a solemn tone: "I know. The ancient demon lord, a useless thing, was slaughtered by the human race."
Gu Qingling said: "But I heard people say that he left a host in the world? It's the Emperor Demon Mark!"
The giant python said: "I have not heard of this. But the ancestor demon is very powerful and has the blood of Xiang Liu, so it is indeed capable of doing such a thing."
"Xiang Liu?"
"The ancient evil god has nine heads in total. Demons with this bloodline can gain life when they are about to die, but they can only use it nine times."
Nine times...
Gu Qingling bit her lip lightly. If she remembered correctly, there were eight ancestor demon hosts who were found and killed before Pei Hongdu.
In other words, the Emperor Demon Mark on Pei Hongdu’s body is the last chance for the Ancestral Demon to be resurrected?
At this time, the originally dim sky seemed to be ignited by something. After a burst of bright light, it instantly fell into darkness!
Uh-huh.
Split Sky used the turbid energy in the sword to ignite a ball of spiritual fire to illuminate the surroundings, and said to Gu Qingling: "The time has come for the demon world to change."
Gu Qingling was stunned: "The sky has changed?"
In the darkness, the python's pale golden snake eyes emitted a faint light. He said calmly: "Yes. The devil world will fall into darkness every once in a while."
Jiang Yanzhou and Gu Tan also woke up. After hearing this, Jiang Yanzhou asked: "How long will it last?"
Giant Python: "The demon world has no concept of time. I only remember that the last time I fell into darkness, I first opened my spiritual wisdom, and now, I am a thousand-year-old demon."
Gu Tan frowned and said: "It is indeed a demon world. Everything is moody and unpredictable."
At this time, the giant python swam forward, sinking most of its body into the river. The snake's eyes narrowed slightly, and three balls of pale golden flames were thrown out from the tip of its tail.
"I've given it to you. Before entering the Demon Palace, I can protect your lives."
The giant python slowly sank into the river and was never seen again.
