After realizing that there was a python in the bedroom, we rushed in that direction.
After pushing the door and entering, we saw the python coiled on the bed, with a lazy look in its eyes. It did not attack us, nor was it panicked by our arrival. Its eyes were half-open and half-closed, and it was drowsy.
sleep.
At the same time, I used the power of my mind to investigate and found that there was no humanoid thing in the python's body.
Just when I was surprised by this, the remnant spirit of the snake king suddenly spoke to me: "The linspotted python is a species of the spirit snake clan among the demon clan. It is gluttonous and lethargic, but its temperament is also extremely ferocious and it often feeds on humans."
"Because these Kirin-spotted snakes often sneaked into human territory to eat people when they were in the upper realm, so they intensified the conflicts between humans and demons several times."
"However, the King of Ten Thousand Demons has always protected this race. Although he has been slightly punished every time, it has no real effect."
Kirin-spotted python!?
This time, the remnant soul of the Snake King did not communicate with me consciously, but spoke directly, so my companions also heard it.
Zhang Rui also said: "Yes, before our Witch Spirit Clan merged into the Monster Clan, the Lin-spotted Python often visited our Witch Spirit Clan's territory. Later, the Witch Spirit Clan surrendered to the Monster Clan..."
I took Zhang Rui's words and said: "Then the Lin-spotted Python has never been there again? If that's the case, then there are still some benefits to the merging of the Witch Spirit Clan into the Monster Clan."
Zhang Rui shook his head and said: "No, since the Wuling Clan merged into the Monster Clan, some Linspotted Pythons simply built snake nests on our Wuling Clan's territory for the convenience of eating people."
I asked curiously: "Don't the people in power of the Wuling Tribe care about it now?"
Zhang Rui smiled and said: "They only know how to enjoy themselves and are completely controlled by the King of Demons. They will not care about the life and death of the people of the Wuling Tribe."
Although Zhang Rui was smiling, there was a hint of cruelty and anger in his eyes.
Just as Zhang Rui and I were saying these words, Xiao Yan said from the side: "So, the old couple mentioned in the information were eaten by the linspotted python?"
I shook my head and said, "Probably not. I didn't find any signs of humans in the python's belly."
Xiao Yan said: "What if it is digested?"
I said: "There was food on the table in the living room just now, and it was all hot, which means there were people in the house just now. The python also just arrived here not long ago. Even if it was eaten, it couldn't be digested in such a short time.
.”
While we were discussing here, the python slowly opened its eyes and said, "Should I continue to sleep, or should I wake up and eat? It's so hard to choose. What should I do?"
The lin-spotted python continued to look at me with its half-open eyes, and there was a hint of embarrassment in its eyes. It was wondering what to choose.
At this time, I also used the power of my mind to explore the strength of this lin-spotted python. Fortunately, this time it was only an earthly immortal, not a heavenly immortal.
Nangong Fancong snorted and said, "I think you should continue sleeping, and you will never have to wake up again!"
After saying that, Nangong Fanxin summoned his Xingyu Bow.
Before Nangong Fanxong could take action, the Linspotted Python's head suddenly stood up and then hit the roof.
"boom!"
There was an explosion, and the lin-spotted python jumped out from the roof. Then it flicked its tail hard, and while attacking us, it collapsed the entire house.
None of us on our side made any move to resist, but instead gave way and flew out from the collapsed pile of bricks.
The lin-spotted python did not run away, but looked at us not far away with its head raised. Now it has no sleepiness at all, but has a greedy expression!
The reason why I thought it was a gluttonous expression is because foodies often show a similar expression before eating.
After sizing us up for a while, the Linspotted Python said: "I thought those two old guys ran away and I would be hungry today, but I didn't expect you delicious human monks to come again. I can take a good tonic next."
"
I was a little surprised and asked: "Does this Linspotted Python have any special powers? Why is it so loud?"
Snake King Remnant said: "I forgot to mention that in addition to gluttony and lethargy, this Linspot Python also has another characteristic, that is, excessive arrogance. It always feels that it is a species at the top of the food chain. They often think of themselves as dragons.
Yu, say they have the pride of dragons and so on."
"It's also because of their character that they often go to human lands to cause trouble."
So that's it. After hearing what the remnant soul of the Snake King said, I just let the Demon King Thorn Deer return to its original size, and then said to it: "It wants to eat me, what should you do?"
"Hiss!"
Demon King Jilu let out a sharp roar, and then rushed towards the Linspotted Python. After seeing Jilu, the Linspotted Python was stunned for a moment, and then did not flinch. He opened his mouth and rushed forward.
Demon King Thorny Deer did not bite the Linspotted Python, and the Linspotted Python quickly swung its body and wrapped around Demon King Thornylu's body.
At the same time, the linspotted python curled up its body hard, trying to strangle the thorn deer to death.
The Demon King Thorny Deer is also not a vegetarian. Not long after being entangled by the Lin-spotted Python, the barbs on its body also grew out "swiss-swish", and the Lin-spotted Python instantly let out a series of "ouch-ouch" roars. It
His body was stabbed with barbs.
The Linspotted Python quickly stretched its body and wanted to leave the body of the Demon King Thorn Deer, but the barb hooked the Linspotted Python's body tightly, and the Linspotted Python could not move at all.
At this moment, Demon King Jilu turned around and bit the Linspotted Python's neck. I was just about to ask the Linspotted Python a few questions, but before I had time to ask them, Demon King Jilu directly bit the Linspotted Python's neck.
It was bitten off, and its soul was scattered under the tug of the barb.
After that, the Demon King Thorn Deer began to bite the lin-spotted python, and the lin-spotted python completely became its food.
Zhang Rui said at this time: "The Lin-spotted Python died so suddenly. We still have many questions to ask it, but there are a few points we must consider carefully. The first one is why the Lin-spotted Python appeared here.
, Although the Linspotted Python is extremely aggressive, its IQ is not very high. After the door is locked, it is impossible for them to go to the lower world alone."
"So, someone must have sent it down, and that person happened to be sent to Xiaohuigou. The purpose is probably related to the Baji Heavenly Palace. The demon clan behind it must have the same purpose as ours.
"
"Second, that's where the two old men here have gone. They are already over seventy years old. They can't run away from the Lin-spotted Python no matter what. How did they escape from the mouth of the Lin-spotted Python?
"
I naturally thought of these two questions, and I also had a guess in my mind, so after Zhang Rui finished speaking, I didn't show too much confusion.
Zhang Rui asked me if I had discovered anything.
I said: "It's not a discovery, it's just a guess."
Zhang Rui asked me to talk about it. I organized the words in my mind and said: "As you said, it is impossible for the Kirin-spotted python to come here alone, so we assume that it was manipulated by a spiritual intelligence update from the demon clan."
They were brought here by taller species, or in other words, they are basically a team, and they came here together."
"When they came here, they found some clues from the old couple, or maybe the old couple knew some secrets about entering the Eight Extremes Heavenly Palace, so those monsters did not let the Linspotted Python eat them, but took them with them
Go and find the Baji Heavenly Palace."
"As for the Lin-spotted Python, he stayed here to look after the enemy. Generally speaking, the place where the guard is located is not too far from the entrance, so the entrance to the Baji Celestial Palace must be nearby, or the clues should be said to be nearby!"
After hearing my speculation, Zhang Rui nodded and said: "Chen Daoyou's speculation is very likely to be true. It makes sense logically. This is the only reasonable explanation so far that the old couple did not get eaten.
"
Xiao Yan asked from the side: "Can't an expert appear and save them?"
Zhang Rui said: "It's unlikely. Firstly, there is no other aura around here. Secondly, if some master really appeared, the python wouldn't be able to rest on that bed so calmly."
I interrupted the meaningless conversation between Zhang Rui and Xiao Yan and said: "Those are not important anymore. Let's look around to see if there is anything unusual nearby. My intuition tells me that Baji
The secret of Tiangong lies in Xiaohuigou Village."
After hearing what I said, we also divided into two groups and started searching.
Zhang Rui, Xiao Yan and Tang Qing were looking for the west side of the village, while I, Nangong Fan and Chai Min were looking for the east side of the village.
My Demon King Thorn Deer stayed there and continued to eat. At the same time, I also let it take advantage of the situation to see if any "people" would rush here because they sensed the death of the Linspotted Python.
This small ditch is very small, and within a short time, we searched the entire village carefully.
By the time we returned, the demon king thorn deer had already eaten up all the linspotted pythons.
No one has ever been around here.
At this time, I thought about the painting of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Palace that we saw in the living room before. Could there be any clues in that painting?
Just now, the bedroom was collapsed by the python, and half of the living room collapsed. Fortunately, the wall where the painting was was not collapsed, and the painting was still hanging there.
There is definitely something wrong with this painting!
But what's the problem?
Could it be that this painting is the entrance to the Baji Heavenly Palace?
Seeing me looking at the painting in a daze, Nangong Fanzong said: "In the Qingyi sect in the upper realm, there is a powerful person named Kuixing. He can bring some of the rules of heaven into his own world through painting.
In the painting, the painting is like a door, connecting to a certain space in the upper world. Anyone and anything that enters his painting can go to the space. At the same time, no matter whether it is a person or an object, as long as it is imprinted with the painting
There is a connection, and no matter where it is, it can appear from the place where the painting is through a special method."
"The picture of the Five Immortals tattooed on Wang Tiehan's body was made using this method. At the critical moment, Wang Tiehan can summon the Five Immortals to fight for him."
As he spoke, Nangong Fanzong also looked at the painting.
Is it possible that the painting here was made by Kuixing? Or, is there anyone else in the world who can draw the rules of heaven into the painting like Kuixing?
I stared at the painting and fell into deep thought. Even if this painting was not the entrance, it definitely contained opportunities related to the Baji Celestial Palace.
What will this painting bring us? (To be continued)
