Huo Chi Lian: This thing is a kind of demon snake, which often grows in fire-poisoned places and has a masculine nature.
It can also grow from the ordinary red chain snake. Once it acquires the demonic energy, it can spit fire from its mouth and move like lightning. It is a Qi-refining level monster.
The reason Xu Dao was surprised by this snake was because most of the monsters in Black Mountain were corpses, ghosts, and evil spirits. Although Huo Chi Lian was also a monster, the evil spirit in his body was not evil.
If you collect the blood of the Fire Red Chain, you can also use it to draw fire spells and refine yang pills.
If this snake is found before meeting You Bing, Xu Dao can peel off its skin, take its blood, cook it and take it, and he can also obtain Yang energy and refine it into the Yin spirit.
But now that You Bing is with him, if he still lacks yang energy, he only needs to fight a few fierce battles with You Bing to collect more thunder and fire energy, and there is no need to be too concerned about the snake Huo Chi Lian.
"This snake may have appeared because of the Immortality Fruit." Xu Dao thought secretly.
But no matter where this snake came from, his top priority was to kill or drive it away and collect the Immortality Fruit from the cave.
Hiss!
The fire-red chain is long and slender, with snake scales intertwined with red and gray, like charcoal fire. It is entangled in the cave and wraps the Immortal Fruit with its body. It is obvious that it regards this object as a forbidden object and does not allow others to peep at it.
Xu Dao recognized the aura of this demonic snake. As You Bing had discussed before, the demonic aura of this snake belonged to the late stage of Qi refining.
You Bing on the side suddenly said: "Hey! This demon's aura is much more powerful than before."
She said in a surprised tone: "When I first entered Black Mountain, although this snake demon was in the late stage of Qi refining, its demonic Qi was only more than three feet, but now it is nearly four feet! It's only been twenty days!"
Demon Qi is the embodiment of the demon's Qi. It is similar to the spiritual light that the Taoist's body will unconsciously release when he casts a spell.
Four feet of demonic energy means that Huo Chilian has possessed demonic power for forty years, which is similar to a Taoist disciple who has practiced Taoism for forty years.
But monsters are monsters after all, and their methods are simple. They are far less weird than Taoist disciples. Even if the monster snake in front of him has nearly four times the cultivation level of Xu Dao, and there are spells and poisonous insects, Xu Dao is still worthy of it.
On the contrary, Xu Dao and You Bing were really surprised that the other party could increase his Taoist skills by nearly five years in just twenty days.
They all stared at the Immortal Fruit entangled by the Fire Red Training, guessing in their minds that it was probably the influence of the Immortal Fruit.
Xu Dao's heart suddenly became hot: "Just by guarding this fruit, you can add nearly five years of Taoism to this demon snake. If you swallow it? I don't know how many more years of Taoism it can add!"
Buzz! One hundred thousand earthworms immediately rolled and squirmed.
"Hahaha!" Xu Dao's voice rang out from the crowd of earthworms. He laughed and drank: "This thing is destined for me, little snake, get away quickly!"
Sen!
Huo Chilian is quite intelligent. I wonder if it can understand what Xu Dao said. But a trace of disdain clearly flashed in its black and red snake eyes, and its body was swaying in the hollow, as if provoking Xu Dao.
Another five groups of earthworms were sent out by Xu Dao, buzzing from five directions and heading towards Huo Chi Lian to kill them.
Click, click, click! A sound like frying beans sounded instantly? Huo Chilian once again killed all the earthworms that jumped on him? His demonic energy steamed up, clearly demonstrating his profound demonic power.
But when Xu Dao saw this scene, he had no trouble in his heart. He was just worried that the demon snake in front of him would be as clumsy as a human being? He just tried it again.
Since the other party really only has forty years of cultivation? So as a monster, even if it has some supernatural powers, it shouldn't be a big deal, so he can take action.
A face emerged from the swarm of insects, and Xu Dao looked down at the demon snake below with cold eyes.
Huo Chilian uttered a snake letter, and his body also stopped. It looked at Xu Dao from a distance, with a trace of human dignity in its eyes, and kept roaring.
So dense!
There was a cold snort from the swarm of earthworms. Immediately, large groups of earthworms rushed down, clinging to Huo Chilian's body without fear of death, and tried to pick out the Immortal Fruit from the cave.
boom!
Suddenly a fire broke out on the ground, and red flames spit out from Huo Chilian's mouth, burning the earthworms in mid-air, causing bursts of burning smell to appear on the scene.
Moreover, the flames spit out by Huo Chi Lian can fly in the air on their own like snakes to kill insects.
This scene is like Huo Chilian splitting up eight clones. Together with itself, there are nine fire-breathing snake demons that oppose Xu Dao.
In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand earthworms died tragically under the flames of the demonic snake.
Xu Dao looked at it, his mind slightly condensed.
But he was not worried by this. Instead, he controlled the insect possessed by his own Yin God, sent out the insect swarm that protected him, and then said as he said:
"It's interesting. If this snake can be captured alive, it will be a good Yin beast material."
You Bingzheng was shocked by Huo Chilian's ferocious power. She was slightly startled when she heard Xu Dao's words, and then immediately screamed: "Be careful!"
Tsk! There was a sudden startling sound, and Huo Chilian jumped out from the stone wall and rushed towards the group of earthworms.
He suddenly heard Xu Dao's voice and identified the earthworm possessed by Xu Dao from the insect swarm. He suddenly jumped out from the cliff and tried to burn Xu Dao to death.
Huo Chi practiced his movements so quickly that with a flick of his tail, he smashed the stone wall he was sheltering on.
Although the number of the worm flies is large, the individuals are ultimately small, and their formation is just like tissue paper, which can be easily pierced by Huo Chi Lian.
Moreover, the place where Xu Dao was located happened to be empty, and all the other insects around him had been sent out by him.
But when Huo Chilian pounced, Xu Dao was not surprised but happy. He laughed, "What a beast, he is really smart! I knew you would fall into this trap!"
The magic power in Xu Daoyin Shen immediately began to circulate.
Woohoo! Two qi energy formed in front of the body of the earthworm he possessed, and they rushed towards Huo Chilian like a long snake. He also spat out a black light, and suddenly hit Huo Chilian.
Although Xu Dao controls the insect swarm and uses the insect swarm as his main means, he is good at magic. The earthworm he possesses is not only not the insect swarm's weakness, but also the insect swarm's trump card.
"Hiss!!!" Huo Chilian was hit by a spell and almost didn't react and was almost knocked unconscious.
But even so, a lot of snake scales fell off its body, and there were blood stains on its body.
But what made Huo Chilian even more shocked and angry was that as soon as it left the cave on the cliff, all the Gu insects around it surged up crazily and instantly surrounded the Immortal Fruit.
The reason why Xu Dao deliberately sold a flaw was not to kill Huo Chilian with one move, but to make him leave the cliff so he could seize the Immortality Fruit.
If the snake demon stays with the Immortality Fruit all the time, Xu Dao is worried that if he attacks too hard, the snake will break the jar and directly swallow or destroy the Immortality Fruit.
Hiss! The Huo Chi Lian spit out fierce flames. With the help of the flames, its figure flashed, and it could actually move around in mid-air, as if it could fly.
This object wanted to return to the stone wall and take back its Immortality Fruit, but Xu Dao had a hard time earning it, so naturally he would not let it return.
Phew! A large number of earthworms condensed and turned into a big white hand, grabbing Huo Chilian fiercely.
Huo Chilian suddenly screamed in his mouth, struggling in the giant hand transformed into a cricket, and his whole body was like charcoal fire, stirring up bursts of black smoke.
However, Xingying was not afraid of death, and tied Huo Chilian tightly head to tail, and kept biting the wounds on Huo Chilian's body.
At the same time, the Fruit of Immortality had been lifted up by a stream of earthworms. Xu Dao ignored Huo Chilian in front of him and flew directly over, using the object-taking technique to capture the Fruit of Immortality directly to his side.
The fruit is green and crystal clear, as if it were carved from the finest jade. There are actually tiny veins inside, all over the fruit's body, resembling both the meridians of a living person and the veins of a leaf.
Xu Dao grabbed the Immortal Fruit and was pleasantly surprised.
He looked at the baby-shaped fruit in front of him, glanced at the cave underneath, and did not see any plant roots or vines on the stone wall.
This Immortal Fruit seems to pop out of a stone, rather than being produced from something.
However, this substance is full of spiritual energy and full of vitality. Even if it does not have the rumored foundation-building effect, it will still be a rare medicine that can greatly enhance cultivation.
"The innate baby energy I obtained in the Guo Ancestral Hall before was refined and allowed me to directly increase my Taoist practice for eight or nine years."
Xu Dao estimated in his heart: "The spiritual power of this Immortal Fruit is far richer than the innate infant energy. If it is refined, it may not be able to directly increase the Taoist practice for thirty or forty years!"
Or he can keep this fruit until he has reached the late stage of Qi Refining by himself and has reached fifty years of practice and can no longer make any progress. Then he can use this fruit to advance to the foundation level.
Realizing this, Xu Dao's heart beat loudly.
When Xu Dao was surprised, Huo Chilian, who was restrained by the frog, struggled like crazy. It even bit the tip of its own tail with its head, actively bleeding out snake blood, then held it in its mouth, and violently sprayed it towards Xu Dao.
Phew! The flames mixed with the blood of the Red Chain Snake were green in color, and they passed through the Immortal Fruit like sharp arrows.
The flaming arrows were so fast and powerful that they created a two-foot-thick gap in the swarm of earthworms, and all the earthworms in it were burned to death.
The fierce flames fell on the rock wall, burning the attached rocks and even burning holes into the rock wall.
Seeing this blow, Xu Dao felt awe-struck in his heart.
If he hadn't been alert to the opponent despite being surprised, he might have been hit by the opponent.
You Bing watched the fight on the field nervously.
She watched Xu Dao's repeated surprises but no danger, and the emotions in her heart fluctuated, and the feeling was unclear.
"In just over two years without seeing him, he has already become a Taoist disciple in the middle stage of Qi refining, and he has many tricks."
You Bing thought about her own cultivation again. Even though she had just gone through seclusion with Xu Dao in the cave and took soul-raising pills, she had only been practicing Taoism for three years, and she didn't even have a Yin beast.
Compared with two and a half years ago, when Xu Dao first entered Qi refining and she was reduced to a handyman, the gap between the two seems to have increased instead of decreasing.
For a moment, You Bing became silent.
Because she had been with Xu Dao too many times in the past ten days, she suddenly recalled her first night with Xu Dao, when she served as a handyman, and she actually felt a lot of shame and anger in her heart.
I am ashamed and angry that I use sex to serve others and use my body to pay debts.
In the past two and a half years, You Bing has been practicing hard and paying less attention to other people's affairs. On the one hand, it is to improve his strength, and on the other hand, it is also to catch up with Xu Dao.
She didn't want to wash away the shame and anger that night, just so that she could continue to look at Xu Dao as she did when she was a child.
But now that she had been promoted to a Taoist disciple, the two of them should be on the same level, but she suddenly realized that Xu Tao's cultivation level was much higher than hers.
Just when You Bing was immersed in her thoughts, Xu Dao made a sound, which woke her up.
"Damn it! You Bing, this thing is too unruly, so I have to kill it!"
It turned out that after Huo Chilian spit out the flames mixed with essence and blood, he continued to bite off the scales on his body and spit them around desperately, burning to death three or four thousand earthworms in a few breaths.
Seeing that it was difficult to capture the opponent alive, Xu Dao declared that he wanted to kill Huo Chilian directly.
When You Bing heard this, she remembered that Xu Dao had just said that Huo Chi Lian was a good Yin beast material, and she understood in her heart: "It turns out that he said this because he wanted to capture this thing and give it to me to refine into a Yin beast.
What?"
You Bing was not a young lady who would just be immersed in her thoughts. She immediately said, "Fellow Taoist, please kill me quickly!"
Xu Dao and Huo Chilian were going back and forth, fighting each other vigorously, but there was also a lot of movement.
This place is deep in the Black Mountain. It would be bad if it attracts other demons and ghosts, or even other Taoist disciples.
"Good!" Hearing You Bing's voice, Xu Dao opened his mouth and shouted.
He immediately sent the Immortal Fruit away and ordered the earthworm to fly away with the object. Then he controlled the possessed earthworm and jumped into the swarm of insects, killing Huo Chilianlai with the Gu insects.
The demonic snake was covered in wounds, and one of its eyes was blinded by Xu Dao's five poisonous demon-killing techniques. However, it was even more ferocious, and as fierce as an earthworm, it was not afraid of death.
When Xu Dao saw this scene, he thought in his mind: "I made a mistake. I thought this thing would not be as evil as other monsters, but I didn't expect that it was just fighting for the fruit, and even its life was not considered."
The monster is not human, but it still has intelligence. It will not escape unless the Fire Red Chain is surrendered, and it is against the nature of living beings to fight to the death to take back the Immortality Fruit from Xu Dao.
Xu Dao could only think that this thing was a monster in the Black Mountain after all. It had an extreme temper and had to be killed quickly.
rustle!
The demon snake and the earthworm were fighting together, and it was difficult to tell them apart. There were constantly corpses of the earthworm and the flesh and blood of the demon snake, and their scales fell off. The scene was extremely miserable.
The demon snake caught a glimpse of Xu Dao's Qi coming, and sensed the crisis of life and death. It did not shrink back and dodge, but instead raised its head, opened its mouth, kissed the fangs, and let out a breathtaking roar!
Seeing this scene, Xu Dao snorted coldly in his heart. Immediately, a black light mixed with energy shot out, hitting the opponent's snake kiss hard.
Boom! The black light and the flames spit out by the demon snake collided, making a collision sound, flying many earthworms, and even the large group of earthworms that imprisoned the demon snake were scattered.
Xu Dao was slightly shocked. He immediately raised his energy and wanted to beat the opponent to death without any hesitation.
So dense!
The snake demon made a horrifying cry, and its remaining snake eyes were crazy, as if it was about to use a desperate move.
But Huo Chilian glanced at where Xu Daoyin Shen was, then at the Immortal Fruit, and suddenly turned around.
Just when Xu Dao thought that the demon snake was about to escape, the creature did not leave. Instead, it screamed and slammed into the cliff, causing its own flesh and blood to erode, and it died.
A pool of flesh and blood stuck to the cliff wall, looking bright red and extremely dazzling.
Xu Dao stared blankly at the scene in front of him, "This is... Is this red chain snake stronger than the ant king of Nan Ke Ping Fei?"
His guess was correct. The Red Snake was violent in nature. As a mature snake, it could not be accepted as a spiritual pet. It would rather die than live.
Only unhatched baby snakes can be used as spiritual pets of Taoists, and they will only recognize their master once in their lifetime.
But Xu Dao only guessed half of it.
When he was shocked that the Red Snake crashed into the mountain and died, he didn't know that a fire snake had been separated by the Red Snake and secretly pounced on the Immortal Fruit.
This fire snake was slender and far less strong and powerful than the previous eight fire snakes. It wasn't until it flew to the Immortal Fruit that it attracted Xu Dao's attention.
But the earthworm holding the Immortal Fruit was not a dead thing. It rushed out on its own initiative and extinguished the tiny fire snake.
When Xu Dao noticed it, he felt frightened and surprised, but when he saw that the tiny fire snake was easily extinguished, he wondered what Huo Chilian was going to do.
"But is there any last trace of unwillingness?"
Suddenly, a vision appears!
It wasn't Huo Chilian, nor was there an attack from a demon, but the Immortal Ascension Fruit was trembling uncontrollably.
The spiritual energy on the top of the whole fruit evaporates and swirls upward, forming a green smoke that resembles mist and light.
It was as if a wolf smoke had been lit in the canyon, penetrating through the rocks and soil, and green light steaming and rolling across the black sky, rising hundreds of feet high.
This green smoke is eye-catching and can be seen within a radius of ten miles.
Xu Dao and You Bing looked up at the sky. They looked at each other and suddenly felt bad in their hearts!
