Chapter 144 The Ancestral Python Appears
Chapter 145 The Ancestral Python Appears
On the charred valley floor, the Snake Demon King didn't care about the hideous gap on his waist and abdomen that had just been smashed by the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
As the more than 15,000 strong muscles on the winding snake contracted and exerted force, blood spurted out from the large and small gaps on its body, and it also soared into the sky like a rocket.
In the air, Xu Yue just stood still with the help of the metal plate, and immediately lowered his head to look. Sure enough, in the large black smoke rising below, the Snake Demon King had broken through the black smoke and flew straight out.
With sharp teeth wide open in his mouth, ten fingers flickering with cold light, his whole body was filled with bloody mist, and a pair of eyes were as red as red charcoal. At this time, he had completely become a monster with only killing in his mind.
With the fishy wind blowing under his feet, Xu Yue raised his right hand high, holding the long halberd in his hand tightly like a spear, the muscles on his arms bulged, and the sharp halberd tip was facing the head of the Snake Demon King who was rushing up.
"Swish!"
A sharp whistle resounded in the void, and the metal plate under Xu Yue's feet was torn apart by the violent force. The Fang Tian Huaji turned into a black light and shot out of his hand. He also used the recoil force to lift his body for the third time, away from the approaching black claws.
The snake demon king's pupils shrank suddenly, and the beast instincts honed by hundreds of battles in the wilderness played a key role, allowing it to cleverly deflect its head at a critical moment, avoiding the fate of being directly headshot, but only half of the skin on the right cheek and an ear were gouged away by the crescent on one side of the long halberd.
The white facial bones were like a knife cut under the sharp wind, and it was painful, but the snake demon king laughed very wantonly, because it was getting closer and closer to the human above.
In the sky, the man and the snake were almost higher than the valley, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Soon, as long as it can get close, it will be able to pull this human into the abyss, as long as it can...
Suddenly, the smile on the corner of the snake demon king's mouth froze, its leaping body stopped, its winding snake body suddenly straightened, and it looked down, only to see a Fang Tian Hua Ji nailing a part of its snake tail firmly to the ground.
After the long halberd had cut its cheek, it fell to the ground and nailed a part of its snake tail that had not yet taken off. Because of the extreme excitement and pain that had already spread throughout its body, the snake demon king did not notice this for a while.
"No!!"
At this time, the kinetic energy of the snake demon king's leap was offset by the nailed tail end. It had no ability to fly, and no matter how unwilling it was, it could only be pulled down by gravity in a sad and angry roar, falling from a high altitude, watching the distance between itself and its enemy being pulled apart again.
There was a roar of heavy objects falling to the ground in the valley, and Xu Yue's figure began to fall, but two more metal plates flew out in the space. He prepared a lot of these things to make up for the weakness of lacking high-altitude combat capabilities.
One metal plate was thrown out by him and deeply inserted into the rock wall not far away, and the other one was suspended under his feet, allowing him to use the force to leap and forcibly change direction in the void.
"Dang!"
The metal plate inserted in the rock wall shook slightly, but soon regained stability. Xu Yue stood tall on the metal platform of the rock wall, looking down at the snake demon king who was gradually losing his mind below.
"Roar!!!"
The snake demon king's continuous roars rang out in the valley under his feet. He was close to his enemy twice, but failed at the last moment.
This made it more and more crazy. The repeated injuries and the sense of weakness in his body reminded it that time was running out.
With scarlet eyes fixed on the tiny silver figure above the rock wall, the snake demon king did not try to jump up and attack again, but continued to stimulate the demon power of his whole body. As the demon power spread, his whole body rolled painfully on the ground.
The black demon power spread to the surface of his body, and his bones and skin began to deform inch by inch. He wanted to force himself to transform into an ancestral python.
Since awakening this skill half a month ago, he did not dare to try to use it even when he was in good condition. That was the blood source of their snake demon clan, and every transformation would cost a huge price.
It didn't know if it would die directly during the transformation in this severely disabled state, but it had no choice. This was the only chance to fight to the death. Otherwise, it couldn't even get close to the opponent now.
The roar of the snake demon under his feet became lower and lower, and the roars came one after another. The snake demon king was waving his snake tail like crazy and smashing around.
The black fog rising from the valley was so thick that it enveloped the entire valley. Only a thick snake shadow could be seen tumbling and twisting in the black fog.
A beam of black light flew out from the black fog below and hovered in front of Xu Yue. It was his Fang Tian Huaji. The slightly shining inscription of the imperial item on the halberd shaft flashed by.
Putting the long halberd back into his body, Xu Yue looked at the chaotic scene below with cold eyes. It was obvious that the opponent was going to start the big move, and it was almost certain that the ancestor python on the skill list had appeared.
But even if he knew, he couldn't jump down to stop it now. Besides, who doesn't have a back-up plan?
Looking at the health on the panel rising to more than 80%, his mouth curled slightly, his health began to drop, and the mana that was close to drying up gradually filled up. Now it was only the lack of mana that limited him.
As his mana returned to about 30% of its peak state, he stopped the conversion between the two. This degree was enough, and at this time, the valley below became strangely quiet.
The roars and roars disappeared, and the rolling snake shadow could no longer be seen in the black fog, but the low and deep breathing sounds gradually sounded in the air around him, and an inexplicable sense of oppression was spreading from the valley to the outside.
Xu Yue's expression gradually turned cold. Seven or eight metal plates flew out of the space and floated in various places in the void. The first effect of the title of "Savior Hero" he wore was emitting a faint glow.
[Savior Hero]
Title effect 1: When fighting large creatures and world-class BOSS alone, you can get a 10% damage bonus.
In this unsettling stalemate, the breathing sound became more and more obvious, and even the black fog under his feet fluctuated with the breathing sound. After the stalemate lasted for more than ten breaths, the breathing sound stopped abruptly, and a deafening roar resounded through the clouds.
"Mou!!!"
The roar was like a cow's mooing and a dragon's roar. The black fog in the valley was like water waves. It was driven back layer by layer by the roar, revealing a giant python in the black fog that occupied half of the valley.
The python had no scales on its body, a single horn on its head, and its snake body was coiled into a ring. Its length was difficult to estimate, but its body width was at least several meters in diameter.
A pair of cold snake eyes without any emotion stared at Xu Yue on the rock wall. The snake demon king successfully transformed into an incomplete ancestor python.
But the price was the mind washed away by the ancestor python's instincts, and the ancestor python only existed for five minutes.
...
The capital of Xuanwu State, the National Protection Hall.
After the long chant of the ancestor python in the Snake Valley, a handsome monk who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion and silently chanting with his eyes closed paused, and stopped fiddling with his rosary. He turned his head and looked at the location of the West County of Xuanwu State.
Although his eyes were still closed, his originally calm expression showed a bit of surprise, as if he had seen something strange.
"There are still bloodlines of the guardian beast in West County!"
"With such a meager bloodline, it can actually achieve bloodline awakening. It seems that he has a good talent..."
After muttering a few words in the direction of West County, the handsome monk's face gradually returned to calm. After a moment of silence, he spoke again with a gentle tone.
"No words, come."
The sound waves were wrapped in true energy and reverberated throughout the Dharma Hall.
After more than ten breaths, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
As the handsome monk spoke, the wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged monk with a simple face came in from outside the door. He walked to the handsome monk, did not say a word, but bowed respectfully.
"No words, go to Xijun, where the remaining blood of the guardian beast appeared and awakened."
After listening to the teacher's instructions on the cushion, the middle-aged monk nodded, bowed again, and turned to leave.
Inside the house, the handsome monk faced the door that was closed again and sighed.
"Alas, chaos is coming, it's a troubled time."
