"One? You have so many bottles...Grandma's, you stole hers!"
"It's just you! I don't know how high the sky is or how high it is!"
Li Yan walked all the way, with the land and mountain gods chasing after him. He sank into the depths of Wujue Cave, and suddenly a strong wave of demonic power spread over him.
He immediately changed direction and approached quickly over there. Not long after, a scene of a confrontation emerged in his consciousness, but it was five cold-blooded life light groups fighting together. It seemed that four were attacking one, but in fact it was
One besieged four.
Li Yan didn't know that Chi Lian had made the little babies appear, which made the other four powerful snake monsters angry and jealous, and they even joined forces to snatch them away.
He only found that although Chi Lian had the upper hand, it would take a while for the battle to end. It would also take some time to order the entire clan to calm down and restrain the snake spirits to avoid an unexplained conflict between the two sides.
In this case, don't wait any longer and continue to delve deeper.
Soon the evil spirit became more and more intense, but the number of transformed snake demons became less and less. They were basically small snakes, nesting together and swimming around.
Going further inside, Li Yan found dozens of extremely thick giant pythons lying on the ground, their scales dark, and a red smoke cloud emanating from their bodies, but it was extremely thin and almost dissipated.
The ancestor of the red-scaled giant python clan is not only huge in size, stretching from north to south like a mountain, but also has "a fishy smell rising into the sky where he rests, and a red cloud covering his body when he moves."
According to what Chi Lian said, after her clan has successfully cultivated, a red mist will appear on the body surface. The thicker the mist, the deeper the cultivation. The thinner the mist, the shallower the cultivation. However, this gradually dissipates.
, which is indeed abnormal.
Li Yan stopped to perform the technique, observed it, and made a basic judgment from the wound position of each giant python: "Has the inner elixir of these snake demons been dug away?"
Before Tao Yin's "spirit-locking ring" was broken, he wanted to please Tao and even used the snake gallbladder of his mother's clan to make medicine. However, he only aimed at those snakes that could not transform. Although the snake demon was angry, he would not
Completely turned away.
If it's inner elixir, it's completely different.
Taoist golden elixirs include the physical Nine-turn Golden elixir, which can be eaten secretly, and the incorporeal inner elixir, which is equivalent to a round and flawless state of perfection that cannot be taken away by outsiders.
The demon's inner elixir is the essence of its own cultivation. It can be captured. If lost, it will not cause death immediately, but the strength and spirituality may plummet, or even degenerate into an ordinary little beast. In a sense, life is worse than death.
"Thirty-seven giant red-scaled pythons..."
So Li Yan walked around carefully and counted the numbers, which he felt was a bit shocking.
Thirty-seven demon-type inner elixirs that can transform into human beings were poached, which was equivalent to the destruction of thirty-seven of the elite members of the clan. For a clan that was not that large, the loss was too great. No wonder they were preparing for war and were so aggressive.
The question is how to do it?
With this doubt, Li Yan continued to delve deeper into the interior, and finally arrived at an area similar to the forbidden area of a secret library.
"There are bloodline restrictions..."
After a little testing, Li Yan did not act rashly.
Compared to human practitioners, the demon clan's methods are much simpler, but sometimes they are more difficult to defeat.
Because they rely on blood and innate talents.
Chi Lian didn't understand the divine ban at all, but he was able to break Tao Zhongwen's extremely sophisticated "spiritual locking ring" with his own essence and blood. This was partly due to his perseverance for thirty years, and partly because of the ability of the demon clan's bloodline.
By the same token, this restriction is difficult to overcome silently using conventional means. Once the enemy is alerted, the giant pythons outside will probably swarm in, and even Chi Lian will not be able to stop it.
Therefore, Li Yan first searched in other places to make sure that there was no whereabouts of the missing Jin Yiwei. Then he returned to the secret vault and looked at the two gods behind him: "Can you two bypass the restriction and enter the depths?"
The earth and mountain gods shook their heads together: "We have just woken up, and our divine power is weak, so I may disappoint you..."
Li Yan was not disappointed. After pondering for a moment, he turned the golden wire on his wrist and turned it into a slender barrel. He handed it over: "This is a needle. By doing this, you can draw blood. Those snake monsters just now
It is possible that the inner elixir was taken away and he is seriously injured and unable to move. You two go and draw some blood and I will take care of you."
The Earth Mountain God looked at each other and could only say: "Yes!"
Facts have proved that these giant pythons are indeed at their weakest, and they are groggy. The land and mountain gods were a little frightened at first, but when they found that there was no response at all, they became bolder and quickly began to draw blood.
However, Li Yan did not take it lightly, and kept scanning with his consciousness to be wary of enemies that might be lurking in the dark. It was not until the land and mountain gods had finished extracting the blood that he used the method of alchemy to purify the blood in the needle and condensed a drop of blood essence out.
“Give it a try!”
Before returning to the bloodline restriction, he ejected the essence and blood, and an invisible ripple spread out, making the road suddenly clear.
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages. If so many snake monsters hadn't had their inner elixirs dug out, it wouldn't be so convenient..."
Li Yan floated in, and the earth and mountain gods followed him curiously, but soon his body trembled and he went back underground.
Because what appeared in front of him was the skeleton of a huge python.
This time it was a real skeleton. A giant snake that had been dead for an unknown period of time was winding in the cave. The skeleton was actually much mutilated, barely retaining its original outline, but still retaining a terrifying aura.
The gods of the land and mountains are small gods who can only live out their lives with each other when they see the big monster. They immediately retreat and dare not enter again.
Li Yan had seen the keel of the little white dragon eroded by the death energy, so he didn't think it was anything strange, but he had to admit that the sense of pressure was indeed different on the sea where the water and sky were the same color and on the land in the heart of the mountain.
He didn't go deep, he just stood at the entrance of the cave and observed, and quickly determined: "If Lu Bing is still alive, he can't be locked up here..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are traces of poisonous gas on this snake bone. Li Yan has studied the great demon relics in Chi Lian's hands and is very aware of the horror of this poison. If a missing person
More than a hundred Jin Yiwei were imprisoned here. They had been poisoned by the poison in the air, and they were all killed or injured. But as far as the eye could see, there were no fresh corpses.
So he took out the little turtle from his sleeve and patted it gently.
Three light spots flew out from the turtle shell and transformed into Zhu Zhong, Luo Wanxiang, and Gong Kepei.
"I didn't expect that there is a cave on the back of this turtle, which is as vast as a mountain forest!"
The three of them looked at the little turtle and marveled, then turned to the skeleton, their expressions suddenly changed: "This is..."
Li Yan said: "I have searched other places, but there is no whereabouts of Governor Lu. This is the place deep in Wujue Cave, where the red-scaled python clan is most closely guarded."
Luo Wanxiang understood: "This place is very important to the red-scaled python clan, so it is well protected, but we don't know that if we try to force our way in, it will be a life-and-death conflict!"
Gong Kepei sniffed the smell and immediately changed his color and closed his breath: "When we attack normally, this group of monsters will probably break the net and release the poisonous snake bones. By then, there will be heavy casualties in this sealed cave.
!”
Zhu Zhong said in a deep voice: "The murderer must be very familiar with this monster clan, and his methods are really vicious!"
All three of them have some lingering feelings.
There is no doubt that Lu Bing's disappearance is the first step, and the second step is for rescuers like them. Once the poisonous snake bones appear, the red-scaled python clan is fully capable of killing them all, causing heavy casualties.
"let's go!"
In the past, there was always suspicion. In order to find Lu Bing, even if he found something fishy, he had to go into the Wujue Cave to find out. Now that he has seen through the conspiracy and is sure that Lu Bing is not in the cave, of course, the sooner he leaves, the better. Even Gong Kepei
They don't want to stay anymore.
Li Yan didn't think so: "If we want to rescue Governor Lu, we still need the help of local snakes. Come with me."
Tutu led Zhu Zhong, Luo Wanxiang and Gong Kepei each with their treasures, and followed Li Yan back towards the original road.
Soon a strong demonic aura hit his face, but the violent fluctuations disappeared.
The battle is over.
Inside the relatively spacious cave, three snake demons fell to the ground. They were surrounded by gravel and blood. Judging from the traces on the stone wall not far away, it was obvious that they were thrown to the top and then fell down hard.
.
The worst thing was that the strongest snake demon was beaten back to its original shape, and the snake body was stepped on by Chi Lian: "Do you accept it?"
The snake demon hissed and spat out the message, with sincere fear in his voice: "I'm convinced! I'm convinced!"
Chi Lian was still not satisfied: "What do you call me?"
The snake demons fell to the ground one after another and shouted: "Your Majesty!
King!
"
This is the way the monsters get along with each other, simple and rough, and the one with the strongest force wins without any concealment.
Chi Lian snorted, opened his outer robe, took out a small treasure, and poured out the elixir from the jade bottle.
The snake demon looked at it eagerly at first. After discovering that there was no smell, he suddenly showed a strange expression. In the exchange of glances, he revealed a meaning: "The elixir doesn't even have any smell. It must be fake. This fool has been deceived again?"
Unexpectedly, Chi Lian gently pinched the shell of the elixir, and a rich and extremely fragrant aroma suddenly emitted.
"Good pill! Good pill!"
The snake demon took a sniff, and a look of envy suddenly appeared on his face. The snake that was stepped on was entangled under his feet, showing a flattering look: "We are fools! Your Majesty is the most witty! Your Majesty is the most witty!"
Chi Lian smiled, shook the elixir in front of her nose, then threw it into her mouth, chewing it, making a crunching sound.
The snake demon showed a disappointed look, and then was kicked hard by Chi Lian. He hit the stone wall nearby and vomited blood.
"Remember this lesson and it won't happen again!"
Chi Lian's voice filled with chilling meaning came out, and then another stream of demonic energy spewed out from his mouth, falling on the four seriously injured snake demons.
The demonic aura with the fragrance of elixir disappeared into the body, and the scales of the snake demon closed slightly, rolled on the ground, reshaped, and then they all came to Chi Lian and bowed: "Your Majesty!"
Chi Lian hummed, but did not forget about the business: "Go and call all the sons and daughters back, and don't conflict with humans. Wait until I find out who stole our clan's inner elixir and identify the enemy, then go
Revenge!"
"No need to come back..."
Just when the snake demon obeyed solemnly, Li Yan led the team and strolled out of the stone wall.
"Humans actually sneaked here?"
The snake demon showed vigilance at first, then saw the old man and the strong man stunned, and showed shock: "The land of the mountain god?"
Chi Lian had already seen the Earth God in Hangzhou. He was not surprised, but he was more concerned about Lu Bing: "Have you found the leader of the Jinyi Guard?"
Li Yan shook his head: "I haven't found it, but it should be in Qionglong Mountain. I need your help to find it."
Chi Lian waved his hand: "No problem, let's go out and find the person!"
Li Yan added: "Tell them that what they are looking for is not the enemy who has dug up the inner elixir. We have a common enemy."
"good!"
After the order was given, the red-scaled giant python that was originally guarding outside Wujue Cave immediately swam out, first searching the Hidden Dragon Cave, and then got into the mountains and forests, spreading outwards.
During the whole process, Chi Lian Dama Jin Dao sat on a stone chair in the cave and gave orders, meeting nearly two hundred snake demons in disguise.
When these snake demons saw Li Yan and his entourage, they all showed hostility. Then they were blinded by the little babies, and then they were pulled to the side by four elders. After a while, they came back and bowed down before King Chi Lian.
"So much less?"
Chi Lian counted the numbers, frowned, and picked one out of the four elders: "Chi Huo, go and bring the injured clan monster over!"
Not long after, more than twenty giant pythons swam over feebly. After a short distance, they were already out of breath, and the rest were too sleepy to wake up.
Seeing their miserable appearance, all the snake demons present showed resentment, and their belief in revenge surged.
As soon as she unfolded her red robe, she was no longer stingy with the elixirs she had accumulated for a long time just to show off. The jade bottle was opened, and the round elixirs flew up and fell into the mouth of the giant python: "These elixirs
Help you keep your spirituality and slowly recover your vitality. Losing the inner elixir is not the end, look at this great king, he is still very powerful!"
When the giant pythons swallowed the pills and regained their energy, the snake demons also expressed sincere respect in their voices: "The king is mighty! The king is mighty!"
Chi Lian waved his hand, full of authority: "Don't say it's useless, go find someone!"
When all the demons went their own way, Chi Lian came to Li Yan triumphantly: "How? I didn't lose your elixir, did I?"
"To do this, you really have the demeanor of a king!"
Li Yan nodded and smiled, and asked curiously: "With your cultivation, you can already be the king of the red-scaled python clan. Why did you not have the power to lead the clan despite being in charge of the great demon relics before?"
Chi Lian said: "Being a king before meant you had to stay in a cave all day long. I didn't like it and ran out directly. Now I can leave whenever I want. Being a king is fun!"
Li Yan nodded slightly: "Practice cannot be done behind closed doors..."
"This human being made the elixir, and he doesn't seem to treat the king as a servant. It's really strange!"
While one person and one demon were chatting, the snake demon elder relied on his keen sense of smell to smell the strong elixir energy from Li Yan's body and determined the origin of the little babies.
After discovering that there would be no more conflicts, the optimistic disciples of Chaotian Palace and the Divine Machinery Department of Jinyiwei, along with Suzhou officials, flew out one after another from the turtle's back.
It was the first time that so many people appeared in Wujue Cave. Both sides looked at each other. When He Maocai and other officials saw the dense group of snakes gathered together, they felt chilled all over and felt that they had learned a lot.
Humans want to find the whereabouts of Lu Bing, and the monsters want to take revenge on the inner alchemy. It is really lucky that the conflict can be resolved in this way.
Therefore, when the snake demon elders exchanged glances, they all had an incredible thought: "Is the king really smart?"
