In the vast mountains and dense forests, a middle-aged man used branches as a foothold, jumping and galloping, as agile as an ape. After a while, a swampland came into view.
The swamp is so vast that you can't see the end of it at a glance. The surrounding area is filled with poisonous miasma, and corpses of monsters and beasts can be seen from time to time. It can be seen that the swamp appears calm on the surface, but is actually full of dangers.
"Oops! The poisonous miasma here persists. If we plunge headfirst into it, it will be too much of a hindrance to our actions."
The middle-aged man observed from the outside for a moment, then muttered fearfully.
This person is none other than Li Zhen, and he looks like a middle-aged uncle just because he wears the "Thousand Faces" mask given by his third uncle.
The reason why Li Zhen did this was because he met the group of young monks a few days ago. In order not to reveal his identity and to prepare for a rainy day, he put on a mask.
As the saying goes, you can sail the boat with care, and he understood this truth at a very young age.
His status as a prince caused him to lose many things, but at the same time he also learned many things, one of which was being cautious.
Although Li Zhen was afraid, he still had to bravely rush in for the sake of the 'Red Swamp Flower'. Fortunately, he now had to practice the Blue Emperor's Ten Thousand Spring Techniques, and his energy was amazing. As long as he didn't encounter too much danger, he didn't have to worry.
.
After making a decision, Li Zhen no longer hesitated and plunged into the swamp.
The swamp is very dangerous, not only because of the poisonous miasma and the special geographical environment. These are all things on the surface, and there is usually no need to worry about the things on the surface. The most worrying things are those hidden in the dark.
Something that cannot be seen or touched.
Since entering the swamp, Li Zhen has held a talisman tightly in his hand. This is a talisman that can provide powerful protection in critical moments.
‘Red Marsh Flower’ is a very precious medicinal material. In addition to its special growth environment, its quantity is also quite rare.
Li Zhen searched in the swamp for several days but found nothing. He was inevitably a little disappointed, but he would not be swayed by his emotions. After all, this kind of thing depends on hard work and fate.
Since he obtained the inheritance of the Five Emperors, Li Zhen has made a comeback and his fortune has been good. The search for medicinal materials in the past two days went smoothly. This time, although there were some twists and turns in the search for the 'Red Marsh Flower', he was able to find it in the end.
On the fourth day after entering the swamp, Li Zhen found the 'Red Swamp Flower'.
'Red Swamp Flower' is delicate and delicate, with a refreshing fragrance, which is incompatible with the dark, humid and smelly swamps.
As the saying goes, beside spiritual things, there are many spiritual beasts and monsters guarding them. This red marsh flower is the most important elixir for refining the orifice-breaking pill, and it is also top-grade among rare medicinal materials. So when Li Zhen found the red marsh flower
, to get it, you must kill a black scale python.
Black-scaled pythons live in swamps. They are very common monsters. They are named after their whole body is covered with black scales. Their strength is at the Qi Refining Realm. I have seen them many times on the way here. The black-scaled python in front of me is better than what I have seen before.
They are both much larger, nearly four feet in length. Based on their body shape, it can be roughly judged that their strength should be at the upper level of Qi refining.
In terms of realm, Li Zhen is similar to it, but the combat power of monsters is often much higher than the realm. In other words, facing this black-scaled python in front of you is equivalent to facing a monk at the peak of Qi Refining realm.
Li Zhen was not afraid because of his powerful methods, but he was worried that if the fight lasted for a long time, it would inevitably attract the attention of other monsters and create many problems. He did not attack rashly, but held his breath and concentrated in the dark, looking for the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Not long after, another black-scaled python suddenly appeared, and the two black-scaled pythons began to confront each other. Li Zhen saw this and was overjoyed.
"It's really my luck. I can't stop it. That black-scaled python must have taken a fancy to the red marsh flower and wants to snatch it away. If so, there will be a big battle. I can definitely reap the benefits." Li Zhen
said happily.
The Black Scale Python Demonic Crystal is a good item for improving one's cultivation, and its scales are an excellent material for refining armor. Although he doesn't need it, he can take it back to his friends in the sect for use.
As he expected, the two black-scaled pythons soon started fighting after a trial and confrontation.
The two black-scaled snakes were about the same size, and their strength was about the same. Therefore, this battle must be extremely fierce. Li Zhen in the dark became more and more happy as he watched, clapping and cheering from the sidelines.
The battle between the two monsters lasted for a long time, and Li Zhen was very patient and took his time. When they were both tired, his eyes flashed and he knew it was time for him to take action.
I saw Li Zhen activated the Five Emperors Cauldron in his arms, and the five-color divine light covered his whole body, and then he activated the Red Emperor Divine Flame Palm and suddenly came out from the darkness.
"Suffer death!"
Li Zhen's appearance was very sudden. He thought he could kill him instantly, but the black-scaled python's agility was far beyond his expectation. When he came out, the two black-scaled pythons reacted immediately.
The invading black-scaled python slipped and slid directly into the muddy swamp. It moved quickly and disappeared without a trace. The black-scaled python guarding the red marsh flower opened its bloody mouth and faced Li Zhen.
Bite away.
Seeing this, Li Zhen relied on the Five Emperors Cauldron to protect himself. He did not dodge or dodge, but took a hard blow.
The black-scaled python's attack could not break through the five-color divine light, and Li Zhen used both palms to strike at its head. The power of the divine flame palms was extremely terrifying, and the opponent had no room for resistance. His head was smashed to pieces and he died on the spot.
"What a pity!"
Li Zhen felt a little distressed when he saw the miserable condition of the black-scaled python.
The scales on the head of the black-scaled python are the hardest and are the best material for refining body armor. Now that they have been beaten to pieces, it is naturally a great loss. Fortunately, the demon crystal is fine, and Li Zhen took out about
The size of a pearl, crystal clear, and incompatible with the terrifying appearance of the black-scaled python.
After taking the demon crystal, Li Zhen successfully picked the red marsh flower. The first purpose of coming to Cangmang Mountain this time was successfully completed.
Before leaving, he felt that the black-scaled python that had escaped before had not escaped, but he didn't take it to heart, but suddenly a roar sounded in the distance, which stung his eardrums and made his heart tremble.
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is this? Just the sound makes me tingle."
Li Zhen was greatly shocked, and he quickly jumped up high and looked in the direction of the sound.
Several miles away, several precious lights shone, and a huge black-scaled python was rampaging.
"This black-scaled python is probably ten feet long!"
Even though they were far apart, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel his throat go dry and look shocked when he saw the size of the black-scaled python.
Such a black-scaled python must have reached the level of a human monk at the Hundred Aperture Realm, or even higher.
'Who dares to provoke such a calamity?'
Even if Li Zhen had the Five Emperors Cauldron to protect him, he would definitely not dare to fight against such a monster.
"It's none of your business and you'd better stay away, lest you accidentally suffer the disaster of a fish in a pond."
Li Zhen made a quick decision and turned around to leave, preparing to leave the swamp and return to his previous residence as soon as possible.
When this person has good luck, he also gets bad luck. Today happened to be a coincidence, and he had both good and bad luck.
Wherever Li Zhen ran away, the fight behind him would move in that direction. He followed him carelessly, like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off.
"What's going on? Are you relying on me?"
Both sides fighting behind him were stronger than Li Zhen. The distance was getting closer and closer, and Li Zhen ran faster and faster. Although he had many methods and treasures, he was still unwilling to get involved in the battle at the Hundred Aperture Realm.
I don't even want to take a second look.
But since he couldn't escape, Li Zhen decided to hide first. If he was found, it would not be a good thing anyway. Moreover, if he hid like this, the fight behind him might be moved elsewhere, so he could escape.
.
He did what he thought of, and Li Zhen hid in a tree hole in the swamp and watched what happened. The sound of fighting came from far and near, and soon he came to the place where Li Zhen was hiding.
Li Zhen observed in the dark and found four men and two women working together to fight the black-scaled python. These four men and two women had seen him a few days ago, and he secretly murmured in his heart that they were really destined.
The black-scaled python is very powerful. After a period of observation, Li Zhen concluded that its strength has definitely reached the level of the first level of the true essence. In other words, this black-scaled python is more appropriately called the black-scaled king python.
Li Zhen, who had never fallen into a state before, was in this state, so he was able to make accurate judgments.
The four men and two women are all in the Hundred Aperture Realm, and there is a slight difference in strength. Logically speaking, even if there are more people, it will be difficult to deal with the Black Scale King Python of the True Yuan Realm. And the reason why they have the courage to fight and gain the upper hand is completely
It's the light that takes possession of the sharp blade in your hand.
The weapons in the hands of these six people are extraordinary, they are all top-grade treasures. Even if the Black Scaled King Python has rough skin and thick flesh, he still has to be wary of it. From this, it can be confirmed that the six of them have extremely extraordinary backgrounds. More importantly, the six of them are
Forming a formation, with a tacit understanding of switching between offense and defense, the Black Scaled King Python was trapped in the center, unable to escape or defeat, which was quite frustrating.
The six of them also knew that they couldn't kill each other in a short time, so they started a war of attrition, preparing to consume the opponent alive.
Li Zhen secretly nodded at the methods of the six people. If he didn't use the Five Emperors' magical skills and relied solely on the Qingyuan Sect's skills, even with his peak cultivation level, one against six, he would probably be in trouble.
"These six people will definitely play mainstay roles in the future."
Li Zhen praised him from the bottom of his heart.
After praising the six people, he began to pray, hoping that they would move the battlefield quickly so that he could escape. However, a scene that made him collapse happened.
They actually didn't leave!
The battle between them spread over a wide area. The location where Li Zhen was hiding was not very good. It would definitely be exposed over time. And he also decided to bite the bullet and escape from here. He couldn't just sit back and wait for death, right?
Li Zhen wanted to get out of the way, but the black-scaled king python, which was covered with bruises, knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die, and there would be no chance of a comeback, so he began to wait for an opportunity to escape.
The black-scaled king python suddenly showed a flaw, and a man fell into the trap and was beaten back and injured.
"Junior Brother Zhu, be careful!"
"Junior brother!"
"Brother!"
"..."
One person was injured and a flaw appeared in the formation. The Black Scaled King Python seized the opportunity and turned into a black shadow and began to flee.
"Take good care of Junior Brother Zhu!"
A woman in red gave an order and then took out a silver net from her arms. It didn't look too big and could be held with one hand.
I saw her performing several hand gestures and spreading it with all her strength. The silver net flew into the sky, and the precious light shot out. It quickly expanded and spread, covering an area of several miles in the blink of an eye. The escaping black-scaled king python bumped headlong into it.
The silver net couldn't be shaken even by the huge force. Instead, it suffered from the force of the counter-shock, and it screamed in pain.
The silver net blocked the space, and the black-scaled king python could not escape. Li Zhen did the same, jumping to his feet angrily and yelling: "What a damn bad luck! This bitch actually has an earth-grade magic weapon, damn it!"
Earth-grade magic weapons are extremely precious to first-class sects, and are basically equivalent to the treasures of the sect. As far as Li Zhen knows, there are no more than five in the Qingyuan Sect.
A woman in the Baiqiao realm possesses an earth-grade magic weapon. How strong a family and background does she need to achieve this?
Li Zhen's status and background were top-notch in China. Even so, he couldn't even think of an earth-grade magic weapon.
The silver net not only trapped the Black Scale King Python, but also blocked Li Zhen's escape route. Li Zhen originally had other methods, such as using the Five Emperors Cauldron to escape into the desert. This was the last resort he had to save his life.
Now it was time to use this ability, but he unexpectedly discovered that the Five Emperors Cauldron could not take him back to the desert, which made him panic.
"What's going on?!"
Li Zhen asked in shock: "Did the Five Emperors Cauldron lose its ability to travel through space?"
In fact, it is not the case. The main reason is that the Silver Network has blocked space, and the current ability of the Five Emperors Cauldron is less than one ten millionth of its peak. If the current Five Emperors Cauldron encounters a space blockade, its ability to travel through space will immediately lose its ability.
Unable to figure it out for the moment, Li Zhen could only turn his attention to the battlefield again. He knew that the battle was about to end. The opponent even took out the earth-grade magic weapon, indicating that he did not intend to continue to entangle with the Black Scale King Python.
As expected, the woman in red relied on the power of the magic weapon and began to use the silver net to attack the black-scaled king python. The silver net emitted streams of silver light, like a silver sword, and beat it in an instant until it screamed repeatedly, and saw that the air was coming out more.
Less energy.
When the companions saw this, they all applauded.
"Well done, senior sister!"
"Senior sister is so awesome!"
"Kill this beast and avenge Junior Brother Zhu!"
"………………"
The woman nodded, preparing to activate the silver net to attack again, but they did not notice that at this time, the Black Scaled King Python knew that it was certain to die, and its eyes changed, as if it was about to sink the ship.
Li Zhen has very rich combat experience, and he keenly grasped the changes in the Black Scaled King Python, which made his heart skip a beat.
"It's broken! The black-scaled king python is in a fatal situation and must fight to the death. If these people don't notice it, they may be in serious trouble."
Li Zhen intentionally reminded him out of good intentions, but it was a pity that it was a step too late. Just when the six of them thought they were sure, the dying black-scaled king python suddenly showed its power.
I saw it roaring with great momentum, and the sound shook all directions. Except for Li Zhen, who had been prepared for it, the other six people were shaken and were shaken. They lost an inch for a while. Then the black-scaled king python launched a counterattack.
Sand and rocks were flying, smoke and dust filled the air, and the ground was shaking.
Li Zhen had no choice but to use the Five Emperors Cauldron to protect his body, hiding in a tree hole and not daring to show his head.
This fierce battle was like a storm, coming and going quickly. After everything calmed down, Li Zhen was unscathed with the Five Emperors Cauldron, but his hiding place had long been destroyed.
Li Zhen stood up and looked around. He saw a mess within several miles. This black-scaled king python was really not easy to mess with once it went crazy.
At this time, the black-scaled king python was already dead. Its body was curled up, its skin was torn, and its blood was gushing out like a fountain. Although the six young monks were not in danger of dying, they were seriously injured and passed out one by one because they underestimated the enemy.
Li Zhen looked at everything in front of him and sighed: "Am I unlucky or am I lucky?!"
