Chapter 880: Mutation of the Sky-Swallowing Python
"And a snake gall."
Then, Jiang Chen looked at the corpse of the Sky-Swallowing Python.
Judging from its appearance, the Sky-Swallowing Python is already dead. The only thing that is certain is that this corpse can make people stronger.
But we need to experiment to find out.
Jiang Chen carefully turned the Sky-Swallowing Python's body over, immediately revealing its hideous and terrifying wounds.
These wounds looked like they were caused by a sharp weapon.
"There is indeed a problem."
Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the belly of the Sky-Swallowing Python and found that there was black substance around the wound. It was extremely sticky and emitted a foul smell.
Looking closely at the wound, he felt a chilling chill.
"Could it be that this aura caused the Sky-Swallowing Python to mutate?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's eyes became solemn.
Immediately, he used a dagger to cut off the rotten flesh near the wound.
Hiss~
White liquid flowed out from the rotten skin, with a fishy smell.
Jiang Chen held his breath, took out silver needles and inserted them into his acupuncture points to get rid of the bad smell.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a roar came from deep in the valley.
Jiang Chen stood up immediately, holding the silver spear tightly.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The deafening roars of beasts continued one after another.
"What's going on?"
Hearing this voice, Jiang Chen's face changed slightly. This was obviously not a coincidence.
He ran forward, passed through a patch of grass, and saw hundreds of monsters gathered in the depths of the valley. They had different shapes, but the only thing they had in common was that every monster was extremely dangerous, ferocious and violent.
“It’s them!”
Soon, Jiang Chen found the source of the disturbance.
They were a group of huge monsters with flames all over their bodies. They were dozens of meters tall and had strong physiques.
"Fire Lion King!"
Jiang Chen recognized the names of these monsters, it was the Fire Spirit Lion King.
The Fire Lion King has a gentle temperament and normally will not attack anyone. He will even help other monsters.
"This is the habitat of the Sky-Swallowing Python. Why are these Fire Spirit Lions here?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's face changed drastically, realizing that something was wrong.
roar!
Sure enough, this group of Fire Spirit Lions did not come just to visit. After discovering the corpse of the Sky-Swallowing Python, they all went crazy and rushed towards Jiang Chen.
"Oops!"
Jiang Chen's face changed drastically. Although he was strong, he didn't dare to fight with so many Fire Spirit Lions.
Boom!
Just as he was about to escape, there was a loud noise, as if something had collapsed, and dust was rolling.
"It's that tree!"
The smoke gradually dissipated, and Jiang Chen saw the situation clearly, his face became even paler.
The big tree that originally stood in the center of the valley collapsed with a loud bang, killing many monsters.
"That tree..."
Jiang Chen witnessed this scene, and a thought came to his mind, "Could it be the guardian of the Sky-Swallowing Python?"
After figuring it out, he left quickly, not daring to stay too long.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The monsters in the valley suffered a devastating blow and became completely enraged, chasing Jiang Chen madly.
Jiang Chen did not dare to delay and ran all the way. He encountered many obstacles along the way, but he overcame them all.
"Um?"
Half a minute later, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped. He smelled a strange smell.
Looking down, he saw an old man lying on the ground, his clothes were torn and his face was wrinkled, he seemed to be quite old.
"Wake up."
Jiang Chen shouted. He guessed that the old man should be a villager here and perhaps knew the secret of the Sky-Swallowing Python.
"I'm fine."
Unexpectedly, the old man opened his eyes and said weakly.
" Where is this?"
"Tell me first, how did the Sky-Swallowing Python die ?" Jiang Chen asked back.
"Sky-Swallowing Python ? You killed the Sky-Swallowing Python?" The old man widened his eyes.
"That's right."
Jiang Chen nodded in acknowledgement, then asked, "Did you kill the Sky-Swallowing Python yourself?"
"no."
The old man shook his head, then took Jiang Chen aside and told him the story about the Sky-Swallowing Python.
"The ancestral motto of our village is to protect the Sky-Swallowing Python from generation to generation. My grandfather told me before he died that I was not allowed to leave the village, otherwise I would anger the Sky-Swallowing Python."
"Your grandfather is really smart. He anticipated today's situation."
The old man's grandfather was a wise man.
He knew that the Sky-Swallowing Python would attack the village and had already taken defensive measures.
"You were the one who sent out those Fire Spirit Lions, right?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yeah." The old man did not hide it.
"Where's your grandfather?"
"He's waiting for you at the end of the valley."
The old man pointed ahead. At the end of the valley was a cliff, and below the cliff was a dark and quiet canyon.
"Won't you come with me?" said the old man.
"No hurry. Tell me, has your grandfather ever mentioned a stone tablet?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes, there is a set of skills recorded on that stone tablet." said the old man.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. This technique must be related to his practice of "Xuanming Jue".
However, the old man did not describe this technique in detail. He just said that this technique was difficult to learn, but as long as they could grasp a little bit of it, it would be enough for their village to prosper.
Jiang Chen didn't believe it and went straight to the cliff.
The mountain walls are covered with mosses, vines, and many plants, which are full of vitality and a pleasant sight.
Only on the top of a stone pillar, there is a bluestone slab with three ancient characters engraved on it.
Jiang Chen's pupils contracted and he could see the words clearly.
"Nine Netherworld Palm."
This is a magic technique.
According to his understanding, there are demons in the fairy world, but they are not very common.
Because the demons are good at assassination, their whereabouts are secretive, and they are difficult to capture.
Jiang Chen didn't expect to encounter the demonic skills here.
"Since I'm here, it's fate , so I'll practice reluctantly."
Jiang Chen smiled and stepped into the lava.
Gurgle gurgle~
When you enter the magma, you will be overwhelmed by the heat, as if you are in the scorching sun.
The magma is not boiling, but is in a spherical shape, surging like the ocean.
Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged, buried his head in the magma, and practiced the second level of the Xuanming Jue mental method.
Once the practice is successful, one will be able to resist the erosion of magma.
He closed his eyes, rested, and practiced the Xuanming Jue in oblivion, immersed in this state.
As he became more and more proficient in his practice, Jiang Chen felt changes in himself.
A chilly breath was released from the body.
“It really works.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he felt movement behind him and opened his eyes suddenly.
“He’s actually alive.”
Jiang Chen stared behind him in surprise and found a small snake crawling up.
The little snake is as thick as a baby's arm, snow-white all over, with two red patterns on its back.
"This should be the Fire Spirit Lion that attacked me just now?" Jiang Chen guessed.
He didn't expect that the other party could actually climb out of the lava.
"Who are you, little guy?"
The little snake's tongue was sticking out, and the sound was sharp and piercing, like a cat's meowing.
"Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen answered it.
"Jiang Chen..."
The little snake tilted its head and thought for a while, seemingly not knowing Jiang Chen's name.
"I see."
The little snake suddenly realized and asked, "Did you kill the Sky-Swallowing Python?"
