Chapter 19: The Demonic Man Han Tianya
The cave was formed completely naturally, with gray-brown stones all over, and no traces of artificial excavation on it.
After walking down for a distance, there was no light in the cave and it was pitch black.
Ye Changsheng frowned, looked around, and took out a night pearl from his storage bag.
Under the illumination of the night pearl, the darkness was instantly dispelled and light appeared again.
However, Ye Changsheng also lost his ability to hide and became a sitting duck.
"To some extent, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage are not much different from ordinary martial arts masters in many aspects!"
"Although my eyesight has indeed improved a lot, I'm still at a loss in this situation!" Ye Changsheng sighed in his heart.
In the Qi Refining Stage, spiritual awareness plays almost no role in reconnaissance , and one still has to rely on the eyes most of the time.
He cast a defensive talisman on himself to prevent any unexpected events.
Then, he stepped inside cautiously.
Ye Changsheng walked about two or three miles inside, deep underground, making many turns and twists, and he almost lost his sense of direction.
"The fishy smell is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that we are getting close to the monster's lair." Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He continued walking forward, and after walking about a mile, he suddenly felt a fishy wind blowing towards him.
"not good!"
He screamed in his heart and immediately stepped back, at the same time throwing the night pearl forward.
"boom!"
A huge snake head appeared and crashed into the place where Ye Changsheng had originally stood, causing stone powder on the wall to fall down.
With the help of the light of the night pearl, Ye Changsheng could clearly see the appearance of the monster.
This is a python covered with green scales. Its head is extremely huge, and its tongue is extended, emitting a strong fishy smell.
"Green Scale Python!"
Ye Changsheng recognized the identity of the monster.
This is a first-level high-level demon beast. Even the elite disciples of the seven major sects may not be able to defeat it when they see it.
There was a cold and cruel light flashing in the eyes of the Qinglin Python. It was very angry that the previous attack did not hit the human in front of it.
“Whoosh!”
The Qinglin Python attacked again at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, it opened its mouth wide and spewed out a green demonic mist.
Ye Changsheng immediately held his breath, took out a bottle of detoxification pills from his storage bag, and swallowed one.
At the same time, he controlled the Fire Cloud Sword and slashed forward.
The Fire Cloud Sword, a top-grade magical weapon, slashed the Qinglin Python, but only caused a shallow wound and did not cause any greater damage to it.
"Wow, the body of this monster is as hard as a mid-grade magical weapon!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
At the same time, he quickly dodged the Qinglin Python's attack, and then cast a wind-controlling talisman on himself to speed up his dodging.
After the Qinglin Python was cut by the Huoyun Sword, it roared in pain. Dark green blood flowed out of its body, emitting a strong stench.
Ye Changsheng just felt a little dizzy.
He was shocked: "What a terrible venom! I took the antidote pill but still can't resist it completely!"
Recalling the Fire Cloud Sword, two talismans appeared in Ye Changsheng's hands.
The magic power was activated, a chill instantly enveloped the cave, and two ice spears shot out at a high speed.
The Qinglin Python seemed to sense the danger of the ice spear. It let out a long hiss and spit out a wind blade from its mouth, cutting off one of the ice spears.
Then, it smashed its head hard and broke another ice spear.
"Wow, that's really fierce!"
Ye Changsheng took out dozens of talismans again, waved his hand, and dozens of fireballs shot out fiercely.
The fireballs continuously bombarded the Qinglin Python. Although they did not break its scales, they still caused it great pain.
While the Qinglin Python's attention was attracted by the fireball, Ye Changsheng used a few quicksand talismans to quietly turn the ground into quicksand, trapping the Qinglin Python in it and restricting its movement.
The Qinglin Python struggled violently, but couldn't break free from the quicksand for a while.
In anger, it kept spitting venom and wind blades at Ye Changsheng, but he dodged them all.
Ye Changsheng took out three ice spear talismans and hit the Qinglin Python's weak points specifically.
With a painful roar and violent struggle, the Qinglin Python's eyes and abdomen were hit by the ice spear.
The horrible cold froze his body and he was unable to move for a while.
Ye Changsheng held his breath and concentrated, wielding the Fire Cloud Sword and slashing nine times in a row, finally chopping off the opponent's head.
After the head fell off, the body of the Green Scaled Python was still twitching and shaking.
"It is indeed a high-level monster, it is really difficult to deal with. If it were a human cultivator of high-level Qi Refining, there would be no need to use so many tricks!" Ye Changsheng sighed.
Monsters are harder to kill than humans of the same level, and this is not just a casual statement.
Relying on various talents and magical powers, the combat effectiveness of monsters is greatly advantageous in the early stages.
Of course, in the later stages, it is hard to say. As the cultivation becomes more advanced, human cultivators will also master all kinds of terrible methods.
Especially when reaching the Jindan stage and being able to use magic weapons, the combat effectiveness has a qualitative leap.
After dealing with the Qinglin Python's corpse, Ye Changsheng continued to move deeper into the cave.
This time he did not encounter any danger. He walked all the way to the innermost part of the cave and found an empty stone hall.
In the stone hall, there were several purple flowers growing on a purple stone wall. The petals of these purple flowers were curled in a strange way, and from a distance, they looked like a purple little monkey.
Purple Monkey Flower!
This is one of the three main ingredients needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and is the main goal of disciples from all factions after entering the forbidden area.
Ye Changsheng quickly stepped forward, picked the purple monkey flowers, and put them in a jade box.
After searching the cave and finding nothing valuable, Ye Changsheng walked out of the cave.
After climbing over the giant python's corpse and walking several miles outside, Ye Changsheng suddenly stopped when he finally saw the light at the entrance of the cave.
His keen spiritual perception made him realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the cave entrance.
Standing in place, Ye Changsheng stared at the cave entrance for a moment, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Come out, you've been exposed!" Ye Changsheng said coldly.
The entrance of the cave was quiet, without any movement.
After a moment.
“Snap! Snap! Snap…”
A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, accompanied by the sound of applause.
"What a keen sense! How did you discover me?" the man asked, his voice unusually feminine and filled with coldness.
Although the light was against him, Ye Changsheng could still see clearly that this should be a man.
A man in a blue shirt who looks less than twenty years old, with delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, looks extremely handsome.
But he held a handkerchief in his hand and acted in a pretentious manner, like a prostitute soliciting customers at the window of a brothel.
Even the voice was feminine and sharp, like a woman's.
Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered as he said calmly, "You smell too much of the powder on your body. The wind outside will blow into the cave and it will be easily smelled."
"So that's how it is!" The man at the entrance of the cave covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed softly. After looking at Ye Changsheng carefully, his eyes immediately lit up.
"I wonder what I should call this big brother? Seeing that you are wearing the clothes of the Yellow Maple Valley, you must be an elite disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley, right?"
Ye Changsheng felt a chill when he saw that the man's eyes were suddenly filled with admiration and obsession when he looked at him.
"I am just a nobody, not worth mentioning!"
"As for you, you should be the demon Han Tianya from Huadaowu, right?"
Upon hearing the word "monster", the man's face suddenly became extremely cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, I am Han Tianya. Since you are unwilling to tell me your name, wait for me to capture you and then pry your mouth open!"
As he spoke, Han Tianya waved his hand, and several ice cones shot towards Ye Changsheng.
