Chapter 6: Ancient Village in the Deserted Mountains
The moment this man appeared, Li Daoxuan felt a chill on his back and goose bumps all over his body.
The flames seemed to have grown cold and lost their heat.
He noticed that the handsome young man was wearing gorgeous clothes, and his white shoes were not covered with dust in such a desolate mountain and wilderness.
The man in Chinese clothes sat next to the fire. The originally stable flame began to jump, and the fire suddenly became much smaller.
Li Daoxuan's whole body was tense.
The man in fancy clothes took the roasted chicken from Li Daoxuan's hand, stretched out his neck to smell it, showing a hint of intoxication, and then...
Li Daoxuan saw an extremely horrifying scene.
The man's mouth kept opening wider and wider, and even his nose split open to become an oral cavity. His entire mouth became as big as a bucket and he swallowed the roast chicken whole in one gulp.
He swallowed it without chewing. His throat was stretched to be as thick as an elephant's leg. Li Daoxuan really doubted whether it would be broken.
But in fact, the man in fancy clothes swallowed it easily. He licked his tongue and said, "Good skills, but..."
He stared at Li Daoxuan, and suddenly there was a loud noise all around him. It was the sound of a rattlesnake vibrating its tail, which was also a signal for attack.
The man in fancy clothes had bloodshot eyes and asked word by word: "Why did you want to kill my fifth brother?"
Li Daoxuan swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, you must not be full, how about I help you catch another chicken?"
The man in fancy clothes sneered and did not answer.
Li Daoxuan's heart was set, and he said angrily: "You snake demon, you are really going too far. Do you really think that I, the Taoist priest, can't kill you?"
After saying this, Li Daoxuan pinched the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand and formed a Thunder Seal.
A dark cloud quickly floated in the sky.
The snake demon's pupils condensed. A Taoist priest who could summon heavenly thunder should not be underestimated!
But the next moment...
Li Daoxuan turned around quickly, took a step, and used the technique of shrinking the earth. His body flashed away. His movements were done in one go and were very skillful.
The snake demon was stunned for a moment.
This Taoist priest who was able to kill his fifth brother and cause heavenly thunder actually... escaped?
…
Under the moonlight, Li Daoxuan was like a ghost. He could cover a distance of several feet with every step. Neither the steep mountain walls nor the thorny bushes could stop him.
Ordinary people would be astonished and worship the person as a god if they saw such a speed . But at this moment, the god looked panicked and sweaty.
Li Daoxuan really couldn't understand how this snake demon could catch up with him?
Could it be that someone in Xiaosha Village informed on the matter?
That’s not right. The people in Xiaosha Village don’t know where he is going!
He didn't think he could defeat this scary snake demon now. You know, the more powerful the demon is, the more it looks like a human.
A bat monster, which can walk upright and has human features on its face, is already very powerful. Li Daoxuan almost couldn't handle it.
This snake demon not only looks almost the same as a human, but can also speak and communicate clearly, which is simply terrifying.
His skills are far beyond what the bat demon can match.
The only way to survive is to escape!
Li Daoxuan didn't know how long he had been running. He caught a glimpse of a small cave from the corner of his eye and immediately hid inside, curling up his body and trying his best to hold his breath.
Not long after, the rattle sound appeared again, and the sound of a python crawling .
Li Daoxuan's heart suddenly rose, he quietly leaned out and took a look.
I saw a person walking slowly in the mountains. It was the man in gorgeous clothes, but the horrifying thing was that his feet had turned into snake tails, making noises as he walked.
"Before I took on the human form, I loved playing a game."
The snake demon spoke outside.
"When I catch a mouse, I won't kill it immediately, but let it run away. Watching it struggling and panicking, I get even more excited."
"Later I caught it again. The little mouse begged for mercy and begged to become my subordinate. Looking at its frightened eyes, I suddenly felt compassion."
He was getting closer and closer to the cave where Li Daoxuan was hiding, and his scarlet snake tongue kept spitting out, obviously very excited.
"I guess you must be thinking that I let the mouse go. Haha, actually I swallowed it in one gulp. I made it a part of my body. This is the greatest gift I could give to it."
He saw the small cave and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"So, little mouse, will you be a part of me?"
After saying that, he suddenly rushed into the cave, his whole body turned into a snake, nearly ten feet long, with a bloody mouth opened...
The cave was empty, with only the scent of Li Daoxuan lingering for a long time.
…
The starlight was already dim tonight, and with the lush vegetation in the mountains, Li Daoxuan was almost completely in darkness as he ran.
Fortunately, after the magic power flowed into my eyes, I could barely see clearly.
He didn't know how long he had been running. He was sweating profusely and his heart was pounding like a drum.
After continuously practicing the Shrinking the Earth technique, more than half of his magic power had been consumed. However, Li Daoxuan had a hunch that he still hadn't gotten rid of the snake demon!
In a trance, I could still seem to hear the sound of the snake demon crawling and the sound of its tail.
A trace of despair emerged in Li Daoxuan's heart, and at the same time he had an urge to stop and fight to the death.
The snake demon seemed to have a way to track his location. Since he couldn't escape, he might as well fight to the death.
At least I'll die with more dignity.
Just as Li Daoxuan was hesitating whether to continue running away, he suddenly saw a light coming from a distance.
How could there be lights in the mountains?
But he could no longer care about so much and subconsciously ran towards the direction of the light. After about a moment, the light became brighter and brighter. It was a dark red light, as thick as blood.
Pulling aside the grass and branches, Li Daoxuan saw a narrow path ahead, which led to a dark village.
The village was shrouded in a layer of mist, and the red light that had attracted Li Daoxuan before shone through the mist.
How could such a village suddenly appear among the desolate mountains and wilderness?
And it looks weird no matter how you look at it, with an inexplicable eerie atmosphere.
Li Daoxuan was suddenly in a dilemma, but when he heard the faint sound of a rattlesnake behind him, he gritted his teeth and chose to step onto the narrow path and run towards the village.
Fighting with the snake demon will definitely lead to death, so why not go ahead and take a gamble!
Li Daoxuan stepped into the narrow path and his figure was soon shrouded in mist and disappeared without a trace.
…
A moment later, the snake demon also chased here. Looking at the village shrouded in mist, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
After wandering for a long time, he still did not enter the village.
After changing into a man in fancy clothes again, he snorted coldly and said, "I accidentally let you run into that person's territory. It's a pity that you didn't get to taste the Taoist priest in person."
"Haha, if you enter that person's territory, you little mouse will only die in an even more embarrassing way!"
