Chapter 2053 Three-Headed Golden Crown Snake
The alcoholic queen bee seemed to be immune to the poisonous fog in the misty swamp, but to be on the safe side, Qingyang also gave her two detoxification pills. After taking precautions, Qingyang led the alcoholic queen bee to the depths of the misty swamp. Sure enough, the deeper they went, the thicker the fog became, and the stronger the toxins in the fog became. Fortunately, Qingyang was well prepared and was not affected much.
Under the thick fog, there was a shallow water surface, and under the water surface was a thick layer of mud. I don’t know how this mud layer was formed, but it actually had a strong suction force. The cultivator had to circulate his true energy to resist while walking, otherwise he would be pulled down and fall into the swamp if he was not careful.
Because of this suction force, the cultivator could not fly too high, but also could not fly too low, otherwise a three-headed golden crown snake would suddenly appear in the swamp, and there would be no time to react, so Qingyang kept flying at a height of more than ten feet, looking for the natural maze mentioned by the sky beast.
However, the three-headed golden-crowned snake was vague, and only a rough location was known. The location of the natural maze was too hidden, and the external features were not very obvious, so Qingyang walked back and forth around for several days, but did not find the so-called natural maze.
He did find several other small mazes, but they were not the place that the sky beast said. Qingyang relied on the guidance of the alcoholic queen bee and even entered one of them to take a look, but found nothing. Qingyang couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that the sky beast was deceiving them?
As for the three-headed golden-crowned snake, he did encounter several of them, but their levels were not too high, and the strongest one was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Although Qingyang's strength was severely limited in this foggy swamp, he was not comparable to the three-headed golden-crowned snake in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. The gap between the two sides was too big. The demon snake just jumped out and was killed by Qingyang with a sword before it had time to attack, and it did not cause any trouble.
On the contrary, the omnipresent poisonous fog posed a greater threat to him. Although Qingyang took the detoxification pill, a lot of toxins still accumulated in his body after a few days. His head was dizzy and his body's reaction speed became a little slow. Qingyang did not dare to stay in the misty swamp any longer. He left the swamp and found a safe place outside to detoxify.
After three or five days, the toxins in his body were discharged. Qingyang ended his retreat and went deep into the misty swamp again to find the natural maze that the sky beast said. However, the so-called natural maze was too difficult to find. He searched for hundreds of miles countless times. Seeing that several days had passed, he still found nothing. Now Qingyang really doubted that the sky beast was deceiving himself.
Over the years, countless cultivators have come into the True Spirit Tomb, and the misty swamp has been searched countless times. If there are any good things, they have probably been looted long ago. It was lucky to accidentally find the large blood jade crystal vein in Guichoujian before. How could it be possible to find good things again? It is a waste of time to continue in this misty swamp. It is better to find a place to practice carefully.
Thinking of this, Qingyang had already started to back off. After all, the sky beast only said that there might be good things here, but it was not clear what the so-called good things were. Even if he could find them, they might just be ordinary worthless items. He should be content with getting so many blood jade crystals.
One day, Qingyang was planning to leave the misty swamp. Suddenly, there was a bang under his feet, and then countless mud and water sprayed towards him. Qingyang had been in the misty swamp for so many days and had experienced similar things many times. This was the three-headed golden crown snake attacking him, hiding behind the mud and water. The biggest difference from the previous one was that this time the mud and water sprayed more, and the speed of spraying towards him was also faster, which meant that the three-headed golden crown snake hiding behind was stronger and more difficult to deal with.
Qingyang had been prepared for this. He threw out a talisman and a light curtain burst out to block the mud and water. However, the light curtain could only block the mud and water. Then a gray-brown shadow suddenly appeared, twisted his body and broke through the light curtain in front of him, and shot towards Qingyang at a high speed.
In just a moment, the gray-brown shadow was less than three feet away from Qingyang. This distance was equivalent to face-to-face for a Divine Transformation cultivator. At this time, Qingyang had already seen clearly that the gray-brown shadow was a three-headed golden crown snake. The snake body was more than ten feet long, as thick as a bowl, and the whole body was gray-brown, similar to the color of the muddy water in the swamp. It was also very good at hiding and camouflaging, and could also avoid the cultivator's divine sense detection. It was difficult to find their hiding place in the swamp.
The three-headed golden crown snake had three heads, the middle one was bigger, and the two on the sides were smaller. There was a golden tumor on the top of each head, which looked like a golden crown.
After approaching Qingyang, the three-headed golden crown snake shrank its neck, and the mouths on the three heads opened at the same time, and then bit Qingyang quickly from three angles. Everyone knew that the three-headed golden crown snake was extremely poisonous. Just the poisonous fog that had been diluted countless times in the mist could make people dizzy and paralyzed. If they were bitten directly, they would be unable to move on the spot.
Qingyang did not dare to neglect it, and immediately used three giant swords to cut the three heads that attacked. The three-headed golden crown snake seemed to know how powerful it was, and did not dare to continue attacking. Instead, it sprayed a cloud of poisonous mist. While Qingyang was dodging the poisonous mist, it shrank its head, twisted its body, and hid behind.
The poisonous mist sprayed by the three-headed golden crown snake was countless times thicker than that in the swamp. Qingyang did not dare to be sprayed directly, and his attack slowed down when he dodged backwards, allowing the three-headed golden crown snake to escape.
Qingyang roughly assessed that the strength of this three-headed golden crown snake had reached the perfect level of the Nascent Soul. With the advantage of home field, the strength it exerted was definitely not much worse than that of a Divine Transformation cultivator. This was the first time since he entered the Misty Swamp, and it might not be easy to deal with it.
However, there was still a gap in strength between the two sides. Qingyang paused for a moment and drove the three giant swords to launch a counterattack. The three-headed golden crown snake was not to be outdone. It twisted its body and its tail went to the Netherworld Fire Sword among the three giant swords. Then there was a loud bang, and the giant sword burst out a ball of dark red flames and flew back. The three-headed golden crown snake screamed and escaped into the swamp with the force.
I didn't expect this three-headed golden crown snake to be so cunning. I, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation, couldn't kill the Nascent Soul Demon Snake with one strike. Qingyang couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so he used his divine thoughts to carefully check every place, searching for the cunning three-headed golden crown snake.
After a few breaths, Qingyang finally locked onto the position of the three-headed golden crown snake, which was in the swamp more than ten feet behind him. In just a short while, the magic snake had quietly swam behind him, ready to attack again.
