The snake dragon has four legs, and each leg has sharp claws in the front section. Its two legs are under the tympanic membrane behind the head, and two legs are in the middle section of the body. Its body is big and small, and it looks extremely inconsistent, especially the two forelimbs, which are like prosthetic limbs inserted under the neck.

Although it is also named a dragon, it is too different from a real dragon.

Take Xuan Yu's true body as an example. When Du Heng saw his true body, he felt only shock. Xuan Yu's noble original body could not be moved away at all. He was so gorgeous that Du Heng, a person like who feared snakes and insects, could not help but touch his scales.

The snake dragon gives Du Heng a particularly terrifying feeling.

The snake dragon eats something different from an ordinary snake. When an ordinary snake swallows food, it will open its mouth and swallow it. However, the snake dragon eats something no different from that of an ordinary monster. It holds the monster with its limbs, and the sharp teeth in its mouth are constantly gnawing at the prey.

A burst of cunning pressure spread, and the cultivators' legs were trembling. Scarlet blood spread in the water, and the minced meat and internal organs hung from the mouth of the snake dragon, making everyone want to disgust.

The snake dragon was immersed in tearing its prey. It didn't care about the gullies that were usually used to discard bones, and did not notice that Xuan Yu and others, who were covered with mud in the ditch.

Seeing the snake and dragon blocking the way, everyone felt cold.

Xuan Yu moved at this moment, and he said to everyone: "Don't use spiritual energy, let's move slowly."

Move over? How to move?

Liu Lingling and the others looked at the snake dragon like a hill. From their perspective, they could see the opening and closing eardrum and the claws below. You should know that the snake dragon has a short neck. As long as it turns its head slightly, it can see everyone connected into a line. At that time, everyone will become the flesh sent to their mouths and cannot escape.

Xuan Yu pointed in front of him: "There is a small ditch over there, just under its claws. Have you seen it?"

After Xuan Yu said this, everyone noticed that there was a ditch of one meter wide and eight feet deep in the middle of the gray-black mud. I wonder if this ditch was pulled out by the snake dragon with its claws, and it was just under the claws. As long as the snake dragon's claws were pulled, they would turn into human flesh skewers on the claws.

Walking through the ditch is very good at training your courage. After hearing Xuan Yu say this, everyone's movements stopped.

Xuan Yu said: "The snake dragon is about to finish eating its prey. After eating it, it will lie down. At that time, our movements will be captured by it. If you are afraid, I can take everyone back now."

Jing Nan said with a smile: "Don't, I finally got here. What does it look like when I go back now? Isn't it just walking under the claws of the snake dragon? It's quite fun. I won't go back anyway."

Xu Changge quickly made a decision: "Go." If you delay any longer, you don't know what changes will happen, so they can't wait.

Du Heng felt his scalp was almost numb. He didn't know how he walked to the snake dragon. He only saw the black scales of the snake dragon getting closer and closer to him. He even saw the water marks drawn when the bone spurs next to the snake dragon's head were inciting...

When he followed Jing Nan and the others into the ditch, his heart almost stopped.

This is much more exciting than the haunted houses in their hometown. There is a real monster above their heads! To be embarrassed, if it weren't for the many people present, Du Heng would have been too weak to walk.

After eating his prey, the snake dragon threw his bones to the place where Du Heng and the others were staying. At this time, everyone was extremely grateful to Xuan Yu who made a quick decision and himself who was not dragging himself. If he still stood there, he would either be hit on the face by the bones of the monster or the target was discovered by the snake dragon.

The snake dragon stretched out its front paws and touched its mouth, then lie down on the ground. Xuan Yu and the others saw a wall pressing down on their heads. The snake dragon's body pressed on their heads, and the most dangerous place became the safest place.

Everyone held their spiritual energy and walked steadily towards the front. Xiaoxiao became the only source of light in the darkness. Du Heng looked up and could see the scales on the snake dragon's neck. The scales were neat and reflected the glimmer of Xiaoxiao's body. Du Heng heard the breathing of the monster, and the breathing sound was like a large water pump, which made everyone's eardrums swollen.

Everyone did not stop and were still walking forward. They began to worry in their hearts that they still had obstacles under the monsters. After leaving the ditch in a while, will they be discovered by the snake dragon?

At this time, Xuan Yu's voice came: "The snake dragon's claws are in the ditch, please be careful not to touch them."

Du Heng looked in front of Xuan Yu and saw a curled claw appearing in the center of the 1 zhang wide ditch. The claws had four fingers, and the black claws were covered with small scales. Everyone could clearly see the sharp nails at the front of the claws. The groove was only one zhang wide, but the claws occupied most of the space, leaving everyone with only a cavity in the middle of the curled claws with a diameter of only three feet.

If you want to get out of the snake dragon, you must first pass through its claws. If this is usually enough space for everyone to pass through, it is just in this atmosphere and when the snake dragon moves at any time, everyone is under great pressure.

After Xuan Yu said this, he jumped. Du Heng didn't even see clearly what position he was flying over. Xuan Yu was already standing outside his claws and greeted Jing Nan: "Move less, hug him tightly and smile."

Jing Nan smiled and said, "It's so much nonsense." Then Jing Nan also jumped, and Du Heng saw the corner of the green clothes in front of him swaying. Jing Nan was already standing beside Xuan Yu: "Come on Du Heng, I'll follow you."

It’s not that Du Heng is timid, he is now guilty and is like a dog. Just as he was about to jump, the snake dragon’s claws actually moved!

The claw structure of the snake dragon is very similar to that of the chicken claws, but its bones are longer. When Xuan Yu and Jing Nan passed, the claws of the snake dragon were originally slightly curled, just revealing the cavity in the middle. Now the three relatively long claws are arranged in a curve, and two other claws appear in the cavity!

It is unlikely to jump like Xuan Yu and Jing Nan, but if you have a neat body, you can find a way out between the four sharp claws. But in this way, you will inevitably use spiritual energy.

Du Heng was in a dilemma, and the cultivators behind him also began to be anxious.

At this time, Xuan Yu and Feng Gui each took a step forward. The spiritual energy in Xuan Yu's hand gently spread a finger on the outermost side, and Feng Gui broke the tip of the nails here. The snake dragon whose two fingers were blocked moved uncomfortablely, and the finger blocking in the middle actually moved again!

The cavity exposed this time is even larger than before!

Feng Gui nodded to Du Heng: "Why are you standing there? Go quickly."

Du Heng jumped and saw a bulge in the middle of the monster's claws. It was now that he thought of the treasure in his palm in an inappropriate manner.

Jing Nan stepped forward and caught Du Heng: "Beautiful."

Du Heng's face turned red. Where is it beautiful? Xuan Yu and Feng Gui pulled the monster's claws, is it okay? The monster will not wake up, right?

Du Heng looked up and saw that the snake dragon's eyes were closed tightly. It was probably because the snake dragon was uncomfortable by Feng Gui and the others. It shook its claws and raised it to cover its face. The monks after Du Heng walked out smoothly.

Du Heng:...I feel like I'm targeted by the snake dragon, and I'm unhappy.

While the snake dragon covered his face, everyone accelerated their movements. Before everyone could climb out of the ravine, the snake dragon moved again. It scratched its face with the claws that had just been pulled by Feng Gui and the others, and opened its eyes and looked at its claws.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, but the snake dragon yawned, and it stuffed its claws into the groove under its neck. It turned over and the back of its head faced everyone. The road that everyone had just walked was blocked by its claws.

Fortunately, everyone was lucky and was not buried under the snake dragon. Everyone who survived the disaster accelerated. Xuan Yu led everyone to another ditch at this time, and the snake dragon's claws disappeared in front of everyone.

After Xuan Yu led everyone out of the ditch, the figure of the snake dragon was already blocked by undercurrents, and only a blurry shadow was seen. Everyone did not dare to stay. They walked along the riverbed for a stick of incense under Xuan Yu's leadership. Du Heng felt that the riverbed was gradually approaching the water surface. Before they knew it, they actually walked to the other side of the river!

It was raining heavily on the shore, and the spiritual sense followed the water surface and saw that the cave they had lived in had been left five or six miles away. Xuan Yu led them for a long journey, but they came out of the river without any casualties.

Liu Lingling cried with a wow voice: "We have crossed the river! We have crossed the river!"

The days when they were blocked across the river were like nightmare every day. Liu Lingling even thought about whether she would die here with her companions. Fortunately, they met Xuan Yu and his party!

The heavy rain fell, and Feng Gui said to everyone: "Don't get wet by the river, find a place to rest first."

The mountains on the other side are dense, and it is difficult to find a natural cave. However, Mu Qian among them is a cultivator with earth spirit roots. If they really can't find the cave, they dig one.

Mu Qian chose a gentle hillside, and in the dense forest he dug out a simple cave with a cup of tea.

The wood found in the forest is wet, and there will be thick smoke when it is burned. This smoke can be used to smoke the beasts approaching. There is a smell of soil in the newly dug cave, which is not very comfortable to smell. However, it would be nice to have a place to sit at this time.

The monks surrounded the fire, looked at the clearly extinct flames, and listened to the sound of autumn rain falling outside the cave, and felt extremely at ease.

As the representative of human cultivation, Xu Changge stood up and bowed carefully to Xuan Yu and the others: "If it weren't for the time being, Xu and his brothers would be in danger. I owe you a favor. If you need it in the future, as long as you do not violate Xu's morality, come to Xu."

After following Xuan Yu and the others, they could not see the danger under the water? If Xuan Yu hadn't been there, even if they could get into the water, they would have been found and swallowed into their stomachs by the snake dragon.

It was said that they would join forces to cross the river together, but at this time they would never dare to say such things. Joining forces? They were not working together at all. They just followed Xuan Yu and the others and had a glimmer of hope.

Feng Gui waved his hand: "It's okay to say it, don't be so formal." Jing Nan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we brothers are all casual cultivators, and we may really see each other again."

Wen Tingzhi looked at Du Heng and the others: "Fellow Daoist Du, where is your cave? If you have time in the future, Wen will visit you."

Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu and smiled and said, "We don't have a cave, we scattered cultivators from all over the world to make our homes."

Wen Tingzhi thought, "That's it. Then ask me presumptuously, Fellow Daoist Du, have you ever thought about finding a sect to settle down?"

Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu, and Xuan Yu said slowly: "I thought about it too, but our cultivation level is not good enough and we are used to being casual. There are too many rules in the sects, so I'm afraid we can't adapt."

After hearing this, Wen Tingzhi smiled: "It seems that fellow Taoists don't know much about the sect. Even in our Tianyi Sect, the disciples in the sect have many identities. If you want to find a shelter, you can join the sect and become a mission disciple. The mission disciples regularly find some spiritual plants for the sect or complete some tasks to receive offerings from the sect. I see that you are extraordinary, if you are interested, why would you give it a try?"

After hearing Wen Tingzhi say this, Feng Gui and the others looked at each other, and Wen Tingzhi saw the shaken in their eyes.

It is difficult for a casual cultivator to live in a difficult life. Why not do it if you can have a place to live? Moreover, the sects recruit capable disciples. With Fenggui and their skills, they will be valued in any sect, right?

Jing Nan said: "If our brothers don't want to be home one day, we will listen to fellow Taoist Wen."

Wen Tingzhi smiled and said, "That's fine, that's fine, all the five of us happen to be the core disciples of the five major sects. If everyone comes to our sect to join us, please be sure to contact us. We will help you find a safer task at that time."

Jing Nan and the others sincerely bowed: "Thank you for this."

After struggling all night, Xiaoxiao was already sleepy. He hugged in Du Heng's arms little by little. After chatting for a few more words, everyone found a corner to rest. Du Heng was originally lying down, but suddenly Xuan Yu lifted the quilt and sat up.

Du Heng asked in a daze: "Xiaoyu, where are you going?" Xuan Yu kissed his forehead: "Go to sleep, I'll go outside to see the rain and will be back soon."

Xuan Yu came back soon. Du Heng felt that he had just walked around the cave, and he had no more than a cup of tea back and forth.

When Xuan Yu came back, he was covered in air conditioning, and Du Heng murmured and rolled into his arms: "It's winter again, I'll give you warmth."

Xuan Yu gently hugged Du Heng: "Yes, okay."

It was a good night's sleep, and the next morning, the autumn rain was still falling continuously. After packing up, everyone thought about the direction of the Dasheng Gate. They deliberately moved northwest, so that they could avoid the bloodthirsty vines of the four vines.

After walking for more than half a day, they saw the Fengluan Tree in the mist and rain. For Du Heng and the others, they were just a day's way, and wading across the river was just a small episode.

But for human cultivation, his experience in Dongji Mountain during this period was a life-and-death death. When he saw the Fengluan Tree, even the calmest Xu Changge's eyes turned slightly red.

They were about to separate, and they had to rush towards the sect as quickly as possible, and maybe they could gather with their large troops halfway. There was no need for Du Heng and the others, so they released a small car and prepared to slowly head west along the road.

After a few polite words, the cultivators hurriedly left, not even having time to eat lunch.

Du Heng watched their bodies disappear to the west, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The pressure on the disciples of the sect is also quite high."

Jing Nan chuckled: "Yes, it's really a big deal. The sect's experience and practice competition... which one can fall behind? Especially for personal disciples like them, the pressure on them is greater than that of ordinary disciples."

Du Heng felt sympathy: "It's really difficult."

Feng Gui said, "Yes, but no matter how difficult it is, some people will rush to join. These people are not bad, and they know how to repay kindness. It would be too disgusting to meet those who do not make any decisions to get to the top." Feng Gui was still as always unfavorable to human cultivation.

Jing Nan looked at the sky: "It's noon, let's have dinner. I'm already hungry. What are the good foods we eat for lunch?"

Since Du Heng sealed the fantasy Dzi beads, Jing Nan still felt hungry even after eating six bowls of rice. This morning, he even dug out the roasted sweet potatoes Du Heng used to laugh at from the pile of dust! It was so embarrassing that Jing Daxian'er was forced into this way.

Du Heng thought for a while: "Well... let's eat? I'll stir-fry a double-cooked pork? Then make egg and chicken mushroom soup? Didn't there be braised pork before? I'll cut a little more?"

Xuan Yu said slowly: "Okay, I'll practice a formation first."

As soon as Xuan Yu finished speaking, Feng Gui raised his eyebrows: "You did go to kill that snake dragon this morning, right?"

Xuan Yu said slowly: "The bone spur of the snake dragon can repair the formation on our frame. You can give me three feathers later, and Nan Nan gives me another handful of tail feathers, and I can repair it."

Du Heng's focus was not here, and he was shocked: "Hey? The snake dragon... is it the snake dragon in the river? When did you slaughter it?"
