Chapter 38 Battle with the One-Horned Python

Luo Shou's face was gloomy when he heard this.

"Shuang'er, I know that there is little hope, but with our cultivation level, it doesn't matter to me that we are in danger of death if we enter the cave. I basically have no hope of building a foundation in this life, but you are different, Shuang'er. Although true spiritual roots are nothing in the five major sects, there is at least a 10% or 20% chance of successfully building a foundation. Among the cultivators we are friends with, few can practice basic spells to perfection. The most important thing is that Xiao Lin is willing to take the risk to save us this time, which shows that this person is sentimental. Such people usually don't make promises easily, but as long as he has the ability, he will definitely fulfill his promises. Moreover, he can practice from the third level of Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining in three years. There must be something unusual about him. People like him will definitely enter the cave. As long as he enters the cave, at least you, Shuang'er, have a glimmer of hope."

Hearing his brother's explanation, Luo Shuang didn't say anything, but just stared at the sky in the distance in a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking?

After separating from the Luo brothers and sisters, Xiao Lin did not continue to practice in the Tianlu Mountains, but flew towards the Wuyin Fairy City. After more than a year of practice, his basic spells, except for the Water Arrow Spell, have been practiced to perfection. There is no point in continuing the trial. For him, it is more important to practice as soon as possible to break through the seventh level of Qi Refining. After all, only when you enter the late stage of Qi Refining can you practice elementary spells.

Another reason is that there are only a dozen days before the auction that Luo Shou told him, and he has to rush back to the Fairy City to exchange the materials obtained from hunting monsters for spirit stones to prepare for this auction.

Seven days later, Xiao Lin suddenly drove the magic weapon and landed in a valley. From a distance, the valley looked like the mouth of a giant beast. In this valley, there stood countless green rocks like sharp teeth, and a black river ran across the valley.

The main reason why Xiao Lin landed in this Qingchi Valley was because he had promised Doctor Gu of the Medicine King Shop that if possible, he would kill a one-horned python for him and take out the snake gall so that Doctor Gu could save his daughter.

Originally, Xiao Lin was not planning to complete this task so quickly, but on the one hand, he planned to leave Wuyin Fairy City after participating in this auction and practice alone until the cave was opened. On the other hand, with his current strength, even if he faced a one-horned python, he should have a great chance of winning. What's more, the one-horned python is full of treasures. The horn and scales can be used to refine tools, and the bones, blood and flesh are all excellent materials for refining medicine. The Dahuiyuan Pill he refined needs to add a small amount of one-horned python blood to neutralize the medicinal properties.

Anyway, there are still a few days before the auction, which should be enough for him to hunt the one-horned python and rush back.

The unicorn python is a mid-level monster beast of the mortal class. It is proficient in wind magic and wind blade magic. With its scales, ordinary magic weapons cannot cause any damage to it. In addition, the poisonous mist it spews out is even more powerful with the help of wind magic. This makes the unicorn python a top existence even among the mid-level monster beasts of the mortal class. Most cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining dare not provoke it easily.

It is precisely because cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining dare not provoke it, and cultivators in the foundation building stage look down on this mortal monster beast. Therefore, except for the occasional disciples of Dancao Mountain who come here to hunt in order to refine Huiyuan Dan, there are very few cultivators in the entire Wuyin Immortal City.

Xiao Lin landed on a green rock and searched for the traces of the unicorn python. The entire Qingchi Valley is a hundred miles in radius, and there are many towering ancient trees growing in it. The unicorn python likes to perch on those big trees and devour the passing birds and beasts.

After a while, Xiao Lin flew up. He did not fly with a flying device, but used the Flowing Cloud Light Body Technique. Now his Flowing Cloud Light Body Technique combined with the Wind Control Technique made him walk like a ghost, his figure moving east and west. Ordinary people might only see a faint flash of green smoke.

A few miles ahead, Xiao Lin saw a forest covered with fog. The area was not large, only a hundred feet in radius. As soon as Xiao Lin saw the dark fog, he knew that there must be a unicorn python lurking in it. Only this kind of monster likes to cover its territory with poisonous gas when resting.

But Xiao Lin was still a little surprised and doubtful. He was worried that there was more than one unicorn python in the forest. If he fought one alone, he would be 70% to 80% sure, but if he faced two, he would only have to flee for his life. Of course, Xiao Lin would not foolishly dive into the unicorn python's nest to verify his guess.

Xiao Lin hid himself on a big tree several dozen feet away from the woods. He stared at the woods without moving. This was a habit he developed when he went hunting with his father in the mountains when he was a child. Before hunting prey, he must first observe the surrounding environment and the habits of the prey. Only in this way can he kill it with one strike without putting himself in danger.

Two days later, when Xiao Lin saw a one-horned python as thick as a bucket and as thick as three or four feet emerging from the woods, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. It turned out that there was not only one one-horned python in the woods, but two. In Xiao Lin's opinion, there should be one male and one female, and they were mating in the woods.

If Xiao Lin had entered the woods rashly before, he would probably have been attacked by two one-horned pythons immediately, and his ending would naturally be miserable.

However, it was precisely because of this suspicion that Xiao Lin squatted outside the woods for two days. After the female one-horned python with a red horn left, Xiao Lin waited for another two hours. After confirming that there was only one male one-horned python in the woods, Xiao Lin floated down and swept into the woods.

On the branch of a towering old tree that several people could hug, a huge python as thick as a bucket and as long as five meters was sleeping soundly. On its forehead grew a three-foot-long black horn, which flashed with black light. As it slept, a large piece of black mist spewed out of its nostrils, covering the entire tree.

Xiao Lin's face showed a solemn expression. He gently patted the cloth bag on his waist, and a foot-long knife jumped out of it. As Xiao Lin pinched the magic formula, the knife grew in the wind and turned into a three-foot size. At the same time, it was covered with a thick green aura. As Xiao Lin said "go", the three-foot-long knife suddenly whistled out and slashed at the sleeping one-horned python in the air.

On the palm of Xiao Lin's left hand, a fireball the size of a human head was burning, releasing a scorching temperature. Almost at the moment when the long knife flew out, the fireball also flew towards the one-horned python silently.

The sleeping unicorn python instinctively sensed the danger. Its triangular eyes suddenly opened, and its tongue spurted out three feet long. But in its eyes, a long sword with layers of phantoms was fiercely slashing towards its head, and it brought a huge spiritual pressure before it was slashed.

At the moment when the long sword just hit the unicorn python, a black shadow flashed by, and then Xiao Lin saw his seven blades being knocked away. The black shadow was the slender tail of the unicorn python.

Xiao Lin was shocked. He didn't expect the reaction speed of the unicorn python to be so terrifying. He was easily blocked by it when he attacked by surprise.

"Boom" Although the unicorn python bounced off the seven blades, it couldn't avoid the fireball behind it and was hit by the fireball.

"Hiss." Although the unicorn python had thick skin and was covered with black scales, the scorching temperature and the explosive force of the explosion still left a large black patch on its body after being hit by Xiao Lin's Great Perfection Fireball Technique. The scales that were hit by the fireball also shattered.

The unicorn python couldn't help but hiss in pain. Its head, the size of a basin, stood up. Its triangular eyes immediately locked onto Xiao Lin's figure.

But before it could react, several fireballs formed a line and hit it.

Countless small cyclones suddenly appeared around the unicorn python. These small cyclones rotated wildly, and then the huge body of the unicorn python shot out directly like an arrow from a string.

The fireballs fired by Xiao Lin immediately exploded on the branches, and large branches suddenly burned. The towering ancient tree lost half of its branches and leaves.

"The speed of this wind-type monster is really terrifying." Although Xiao Lin had overestimated the strength of the unicorn python, he still felt that he underestimated it when he really faced it.

The wind control technique was instantly added to his feet. With a light flash, he went out ten feet away and appeared on another big tree. Where he was standing originally, countless leaves broke silently, which made Xiao Lin's eyelids jump.

"Wind Blade Technique?" Xiao Lin was shocked. The wind blade technique released by this unicorn python was equivalent to the basic spell of the human great perfection level. It can be cast instantly, which made his face more solemn.

After a few ups and downs, Xiao Lin brought this unicorn python to a stone forest. It was more than ten miles away from the forest. Xiao Lin did this mainly because he was worried that there were other unicorn pythons nearby. If they could summon each other, he would be in real danger.

Obviously, Xiao Lin successfully angered the unicorn python, which looked like it would not stop until it swallowed Xiao Lin alive. Wherever the man and the snake passed, the bluestone several meters wide would explode directly as long as it was hit by the twisting body of the unicorn python.

When he came to the stone forest, Xiao Lin turned around woodenly, holding the Seven Blades in his hand high, and the magic power poured into the Seven Blades frantically. The magic weapon suddenly grew to three feet in size, and the green light was full, and it actually condensed into a verdant blade shadow about ten feet long.

"Evil beast, take my move." Xiao Lin shouted angrily, and the long sword in his hand slashed down suddenly. At the moment when Xiao Lin slashed, there were seven blade shadows, which connected together and slashed down almost in order.

The unicorn python was caught off guard, and it seemed that it had never thought that Xiao Lin, who had been running away, would stop to fight back, so it only had time to turn its head a few points, and its body was slashed by the blade of the Seven Blades.

"Hiss." The Seven Blades slashed at the body of the unicorn python, and it actually made a sound of metal clashing. However, this blow contained Xiao Lin's pure magic power, even though the unicorn python had amazing defense, was slashed to a gap about a foot long, and blood spurted out, but it still did not cut off the unicorn python, which surprised Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin suddenly felt a sense of panic, and almost as soon as he thought about it, three emerald green small shields blocked in front of him, followed by three crisp "puff" collision sounds.
