It was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see his fingers. Even Chen Li could only vaguely distinguish a distance of six or seven meters.
From time to time, water drops dripped from the top of the tunnel, which was particularly clear in the silent darkness.
Chen Li secretly stepped on his feet, and the touch of sand and gravel from the soles of his feet gave him some comfort.
Fortunately, a thick layer of sand and gravel was laid in the tunnel. Otherwise, it would be impossible to run on this wet and greasy mud floor.
Chen Li closed his eyes and waited quietly, trying hard to listen to what was going on outside.
If it was the monster that came in winter, he wouldn't be too worried, but this time it was the snake monster. If he was really looking for it, the tunnel would probably be useless and would not cause any hindrance at all.
Zhou Hong couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of her man.
Chen Li patted his back and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, we won't be so unlucky. It's probably another false alarm."
"Well, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything." Zhou Hong said softly.
After that, the two of them didn't speak again.
As time passed, there was no movement except for an occasional faint scream from outside, but the "rustling" sound like the god of death still lingered in my ears.
It seems far away, yet it seems very close.
This sound spreads through the earth, and it is impossible to determine the specific distance and direction.
Just as Chen Li was gradually letting go of his worries, the sound of breaking stone slabs could be heard clearly.
'Oops!'
'The stone slabs of the passage on the other side are broken.'
Chen Li's heart skipped a beat, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Let's go back!"
He picked up Zhou Hong and ran back.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hong asked in shock.
"We'll talk about it later," Chen Li said.
But it was too late.
The rustling sound quickly became clear, and at the same time, a fierce wind blew towards this side with a fishy smell. Fortunately, both of their robes had wind transformation formations, otherwise the strong wind alone would have blown them away.
People are blown away.
A depressing atmosphere spread overwhelmingly.
'Damn beast!'
The sound of rustling was getting closer and closer, and soon it became noisy and harsh. Seeing that there was no way to escape, Chen Li was heartbroken and broke away from Zhou Hong. Before he could speak, he began to recite a curse silently in his mouth and pointed his fingers.
Quickly print.
It takes less than a second.
Soon the traction surgery was completed.
The strong wind coming from the passage quickly became calm as it entered the magic domain. He stared at the dark hole, activated the only golden light talisman on his body that he had been reluctant to use without hesitation, and pulled out the magic sword again without even turning his head.
Replied:
"You can't escape, you retreat first, and I'll come to the rear!"
"I won't leave. If you want to die, we will die together." Zhou Hong said stubbornly, activating an amulet, taking out the magic weapon and getting ready for battle.
"This bitch...that's all, that's all!" Chen Li was moved and helpless at the same time.
He took out the Qi-Building Pill, flicked the cork away, poured them all into his mouth, and swallowed them alive, regardless of how many pills were inside.
He rarely goes to great lengths, and as long as he is not sure of the seventh or eighth level, he will not risk his life, but this time, he will go all out no matter what.
A second-level monster comparable to the foundation-building stage, whose specific strength is unknown.
It's crazy to think about.
"Come on, come on, come on if you want to die!" Chen Li said to himself as he looked at the dark passage where the strong wind was pouring out crazily.
It's like induction.
Just as the huge and ferocious snake head exuding gleaming light suddenly appeared from the darkness, Chen Li's body also jumped out. The soil under his feet exploded, creating a deep pit. His body was slightly short, as if he had been leaving the string.
The arrow moves in an instant.
His bloodshot eyes stared intently at the head of the snake demon. At the last moment, all fear, uneasiness, and aura of the second-level monster disappeared.
Some are just crazily secreted adrenal hormones and a violently beating heart.
His speed is getting faster and faster. After two strides, his speed has far exceeded his usual limit.
A blue snake-like creature, about three meters thick in body, with a strong spiritual light all over its body. Inside a head that looked as ferocious as withered bones, two green eyes shone with cold light.
The speed of both is electric and flint,
More than ten meters and less than twenty meters away.
Coming soon.
No dodge, no flinching.
Even Zhou Hong's exclamation came from behind him, but he seemed not to hear it and was fully focused on it.
Seeing that the two were about to collide, the snake demon's eyes were revealed with fierce eyes, its head was raised slightly, and it opened its huge mouth full of fangs, intending to bite, but before the attack came, the fishy smell had already spread.
At the critical moment.
"roll!"
Chen Li drank violently.
The long-simmering ‘scolding technique’ was instantly released.
The 'Scolding Technique', which is close to the master level, is comparable to the first-level and sixth-level spells. The second-level monster was caught off guard, and its body could not help but stiffen slightly. Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Li suddenly stepped closer one by one, and his muscles exploded.
He grabbed the monster's neck and slashed it hard with his sword.
This sword is like the sudden appearance of thunder.
Can't catch sight of it.
Wherever the sword light went, everything was opened. The second-level magic sword, combined with Chen Li's long-awaited sword and the magic power of the traction technique, were really unmatched. The monster's protective aura was instantly shattered, even if
Even the intact scales of the second-order snake demon cannot stop it.
However, the second-level monster is a second-level monster after all, and its reaction is extremely fast.
As soon as the sword penetrated the flesh, it was thrown hard by it.
"boom!"
Chen Li only felt an unparalleled force coming from him. Even his body and sword were thrown away and hit the wall heavily. His head was smashed to pieces. Fortunately, the golden light shield on his body resisted most of the attacks.
Injured, completely unscathed.
Before he could catch his breath, his hair stood on end and his heart almost skipped a beat. In the flash of lightning, all the strength in his body suddenly exploded. His waist shot like a strong bow, and his body suddenly shot like lightning.
Toward the opposite wall.
The body has just moved.
A huge head just missed passing by.
Chen Li pointed his toes at the opposite wall, channeled his spiritual power into the long sword, twisted his body, aimed at the snake's body and struck it down hard.
The mana of the traction technique combined with the sharpness of the second-level magic sword brought terrifying lethality. The protective aura on the snake demon was torn apart again, leaving a horrific wound that penetrated almost an inch into the flesh.
"Ouch"
The snake demon finally let out a loud roar like cracking silk. It was extremely frightened and angry. It turned around and wanted to bite, but its head hit the mud wall hard.
After Chen Li slashed out with his sword, he didn't stay on the spot for even a moment. He ran wildly along the wall and quickly ran towards the tail of the snake demon.
He didn't know whether he should regret that the tunnel was too small when he dug it, or he should be grateful that it was too big. The tunnel was two meters high and no more than a mile wide. The snake demon occupied most of the space, which meant that after the snake demon entered,
You can't turn around.
The snake demon is quite intelligent and seems to be aware of it.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Its huge body began to twist wildly, hitting the tunnel hard with astonishing power.
Chen Li only felt his ears roaring, and the entire passage was shaking violently. The walls were constantly twisting and deforming like plasticine. Fortunately, the soil in the passage was made of clay, which was extremely viscous. No matter how violently it was hit, it did not collapse at all.
sign.
Chen Li, who was running, only managed to escape twice before being hit by the huge snake body again. His body was like a meteor, heavily embedded in the mud wall, and his whole body sank in.
The golden light shield flickered for a moment, finally holding on.
But this time, he was not ready to hide.
The spiritual power surged into the magic sword in his hand.
He found an opportunity. After scolding him, he pushed his hand hard against the wall and cut off the snake's body that was twisting wildly.
No more touch and go.
The long sword in his hand slashed wildly at the snake's body.
It was true that the sword saw blood and the sword saw flesh. For a moment, the snake demon could not advance or retreat. It wanted to turn around and bite, but could not turn around. The body suffered from pain and reflexively twitched to dodge. Even the impact stopped.
Make Chen Li's attack smoother.
Chen Li chased after the wound and slashed hard.
A sword swing speed of more than ten times per second.
But he only swung seven or eight swords.
The huge snake body was almost cut into two pieces, and part of its internal organs were dragged out.
"collapse!"
The blade of the sword struck the spine, making a muffled sound.
"Die to me, die to me..."
Chen Li's eyes were red, and he continued to slash with his head covered as if to vent his anger, regardless of whether it would damage the magic sword.
After five or six strokes.
The spine was broken with a sword.
"Ouch!"
The severely wounded monster let out a shrill howl, the ground shook, and the two huge snake bodies twisted crazily.
With a "bang", Chen Li was thrown away by the snake's body again. He stood up, ignoring the blood bleeding from his mouth, and smiled carelessly, and rushed over again.
The mana of the traction technique was quickly penetrated into the snake's body under the control of consciousness, and a long internal organ was pulled out. When there was nothing left to dig out, the spiritual power in the hand was activated with a flick of the finger, and it was shot into the snake's abdominal cavity, continuously exploding inside.
During this period, he was swatted away by the unconsciously twisting snake body from time to time.
But he soon stood up again.
Continue to attack.
The golden mask disappeared and he used the amulet again.
Gradually, the snake demon's struggle became weaker and weaker.
Chen Li's physical strength and spiritual power were almost exhausted. When he woke up, he wanted to sit on the ground. But at the moment, he was most worried about Zhou Hong. He couldn't care about her at all during the battle. He didn't know what happened to her?
"Zhou Hong, Zhou Hong!"
"Are you OK?"
There was no response at all.
In the tunnel, except for the sound of the snake's body twisting, it was quiet.
His expression changed, and his heart sank.
After hesitating for a moment, he braced himself and walked forward step by step.
The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. The snake demon is still squirming slowly, but it is obviously that it has only its last breath left, and all the aura has dissipated. But even if it is about to die, the pressure of this second-level monster is still there.
The residual power is still there, and the breath is so suppressed that it makes people breathless.
Walking next to this kind of creature, one can't help but feel terrified.
This is the most gorgeous and beautiful creature he has ever seen. Every foot and every inch has a mysterious aura that makes people feel intimidated. Each of its scales is the size of a palm, with shining blue light and a complicated gold background.
pattern.
Soon, he saw the snake's head.
The huge and ferocious snake head lay softly on the ground, with thick blood continuously overflowing from its mouth. A pair of green eyes stared blankly ahead. The tunnel near it was extremely twisted, and there was even a tunnel several times deep.
Rice holes.
At the last moment, it seemed to have tried to escape through a hole, but it obviously failed.
Chen Li flicked his finger with spiritual power and hit the opponent's eyes that were still staring at him.
There was a "bang" sound.
A bloody flower burst out of the eye.
Even a second-level monster would have a hard time resisting a spell that is as powerful as a first-level or fifth-level monster with its physical body alone.
Except for the scales, of course.
Seeing that the snake demon was motionless, Chen Li finally felt relieved.
He quickly crossed the snake's head, looking for Zhou Hong's figure, and soon saw a red figure on the ground.
Chen Li's heart tightened, and he quickly walked over, helped her up, and stretched out his hand to take a breath.
Fortunately, I just fainted.
Apparently, he was stunned by the terrifying roars of the monster just now.
Before, when he was in the snake's body, he felt deafened and his eyes were filled with stars. But Zhou Hong was in front of him, and he was in such a narrow passage, and the sound could not escape. I'm afraid he wouldn't be much better.
Zhou Hong woke up quickly and leaned softly in Chen Li's arms. Her face was pale, and then she thought of something and said excitedly:
"Snake demon... leave quickly!"
"It's okay, the snake demon is dead, we are okay."
"Wait, the snake demon is dead? How?" Zhou Hong's eyes widened.
"Of course I was killed, but we survived." Chen Li said with a smile.
Yes, I survived.
It was only at this moment that strong excitement and joy emerged in his heart.
The whole person relaxed.
This time it was so thrilling that my life almost hung by a thread.
Maybe an oversight could lead to another outcome.
"This is a second-level monster...you lied to me, right?" Zhou Hong couldn't believe it.
Seeing her cute look, Chen Li couldn't help but kiss her.
"Look in front of you!"
Chen Li put Zhou Hong down.
She boldly stepped forward and took a closer look. She couldn't help but turn pale: "Is he really dead?"
"Okay, don't look at it. You just woke up from a coma and are weak, so you should go and rest first." Amid Zhou Hong's exclamation, he picked up Zhou Hong and walked towards the distant bedroom step by step:
"If it hadn't gone into the tunnel, I wouldn't have been able to do anything with it. Hey, it's really asking for death."
Zhou Hong hugged her man's strong body and felt a strong sense of security. Her beautiful eyes were staring at her man, and she was completely mesmerized.
The bedroom was in a mess.
Things fell to the floor.
As if there had been an earthquake, the walls and ceiling here had been twisted and deformed.
Chen Li put Zhou Hong on the bed: "Now you should have a good rest and sleep until dawn. Don't get up again. I will handle the rest."
"Yeah!" Zhou Hong said obediently.
…
Chen Li returned to the tunnel again, and the snake demon was still moving. Its vitality was simply terrifying.
He withdrew his gaze, quickly crossed his body, and came to another passage on the street, where a big hole had been opened.
Walking out of the cave entrance, there were ruins everywhere outside. Even a nearby grove seemed to have been blown by a typhoon and was torn apart.
He looked around and found that there were probably seven or eight families nearby that were suffering from disaster.
Chen Li didn't dare to delay. After a while, the scavengers would probably appear.
He searched around and found a huge boulder, and used his magic sword to cut it into a half-ton stone slab. He blocked the entrance of the cave again, and then quickly searched around the area before the scavengers arrived, even briefly looking for the caves of each house.
once.
Unfortunately, only two low-grade magic weapons and three low-grade spiritual stones were found.
"Ordinary casual cultivators are really poor." Chen Li sighed in his heart as he played with two magic weapons in his hands.
Without staying outside longer, he quickly returned home.
