Chapter 42
() The python was breathing heavily, and its body seemed to be trembling slightly. Liu Tian opened the scales on other parts of the python and found that there were also a lot of white spots on the bottom, and there were many places where there were pools of liquid.
Is this python poisoned?
Liu Tian couldn't help but have this kind of doubt, and soon he found out that it wasn't true.
The python was completely motionless, lying on the ground, still panting heavily, obviously because of the violent movements just now.
"What do you want to tell me?" Liu Tianyi had a question mark on his forehead and looked into the python's eyes, but he didn't understand its expression.
At this moment, Liu Tian thought, it would be great if he could master the art of controlling beasts.
There is indeed a method of controlling beasts. Liu Tian has also seen it in classics. According to legend, some people have learned how to control all kinds of beasts and obey them.
The python's head kept rubbing against Liu Tian's arm, then it shrank a little and put its neck next to Liu Tian's legs, as if to signal Liu Tian to sit on it, and Liu Tian jumped on it.
Instead of being lifeless, the python raised its head steadily and moved slowly, carrying Liu Tian forward.
"Where is it taking me?" Liu Tian had a trace of doubt in his heart.
This bamboo forest is under Liu Tian's jurisdiction, and he is naturally familiar with it better than anyone else.
However, Liu Tian did not know where the python's cave was.
I wonder if the python is going to take him to the cave this time?
Soon the python gave the answer. The python carried him and began to walk down, along a cliff wall that was not too steep. Liu Tian held on to the python's body tightly.
When Liu Tian went down from the cliff, Liu Tian had to insert his dagger into the cliff wall every time. The more times he did it, the easier it was for him, but every time he came up, he was more embarrassed.
Seeing the python carrying him down the cliff, Liu Tian understood that the python's cave was not on the mountain.
The python circled in seven directions, Liu Tian held on to its body tightly, and soon arrived at a dark and wet place. Liu Tian got off the python's back and looked outside. This was halfway up the cliff.
The location of the python's cave was really unexpected. It was halfway up the mountain.
The python did not stop there after entering the cave, but kept going deeper.
In a dim cave, the light is very weak, and the distance visible to the naked eye is very limited.
Liu Tian moved his fingers, and a cluster of flames emerged from his fingertips. The weak fire was not very bright, but it could illuminate the road ahead, allowing him to see clearly.
In addition to being wet, the python's cave is also very long. Even with the help of firelight, you can't see the end at a glance.
"I'm afraid this place cannot be opened by a python." Judging from the height and size of the cave, it should have been opened by an immortal seeker. Walking in the cave, people feel no oppression at all and feel very comfortable.
As we continue to deepen, this idea becomes more and more firm.
"Didi~"
Inside the cave, all sounds seemed to be cut off. Except for the faint sound of the python's body moving, deeper into the cave, there were gradually clear sounds, like the sound of water droplets falling into the lake, and the water droplets kept flowing in.
Drops.
Liu Tian quickened his pace to keep up with the python.
Half an hour later, Liu Tian stopped and froze on the spot.
Under the illumination of a bright red fireball, it was revealed that this was a natural stalactite cave, with stalactites hanging upside down from above, and water droplets dripping down the stalactites.
It dripped into a ruby-white pool below, because under the red firelight, the pool also turned fiery red.
The entire pool is about one foot long and wide. Because the liquid is not transparent, it is impossible to determine the depth. The pool is irregular and circular.
After the python arrived, it licked the milk in the pool, showing a hint of excitement.
"The whole pond is filled with beautiful flowers." Liu Tian became excited, and the joy on his face was beyond words.
Zhongrujinghua is a first-class natural liquid jinghua. It is extremely rare and can only be found in specific Zhongru caves. It is one of the rarest and most precious medicinal materials among first-class medicinal materials.
Although it is only classified as a first-class product, it is highly valuable because it is rare.
Not only that, Liu Tian obtained Zhong Rujinghua from such a large pool, which solved his urgent need.
Recently, he has been confused about the medicinal materials. If he asks for more from Yu Jingzi, it will arouse his suspicion. If the medicinal materials are catalyzed and sold, it is more likely to cause trouble. As for selling the elixirs, it is even more useless.
Maybe, because in a small place like Pingyang County, there are only a few people in the entire county who know about elixirs and only use them. Others, even many foundation-building immortal seekers in the sect, have never heard of it.
Said.
With Zhong Rujinghua in front of him, Liu Tian no longer has to worry about medicinal materials.
Judging from this position, the reason why bamboo shoots appear in the bamboo forest is explained, and Liu Tian has a hint of enlightenment.
"Brother Python, thank you very much." Liu Tian looked at the Python with a look of gratitude, but found a trace of doubt.
Nourished by precious natural medicinal materials like Zhong Rujinghua, even if the python is injured, it will recover quickly. How can the body suffer from ulcers?
The python had no intention of stopping. It walked around the bell cave and found a narrow passage at the end. The python stopped here and made a hissing sound, calling Liu Tian.
Liu Tian was very curious, so he walked over quickly and found that the python was waiting for him, and it stopped moving forward. It kept extending its head forward but did not move away, as if to signal Liu Tian to come in.
"Brother Python, do you want me to go in alone?" Liu Tian pointed at himself and said doubtfully.
The python seemed to suddenly have some inspiration and nodded.
A ray of fire emerged from Liu Tian's fingertips again, and he explored what was ahead. He found that the road ahead was not long, but there was a bend. Liu Tian leaned out and walked forward with an arched body.
As soon as he walked into the trail, Liu Tian smelled the strong scent of pythons. This should be a place where pythons often come. Liu Tian turned around and glanced at the pythons.
Finding that the python's originally sharp and cold eyes seemed to reveal a gentle light, full of goodwill, Liu Tian continued to move forward and reached the corner.
As soon as his body turned the corner, he felt that the temperature here was a bit higher than outside, and his heartbeat was much faster than usual.
Under the illumination of the fire, Liu Tian could see clearly what was ahead.
There is no road ahead and we have reached the very end of the cave.
At the end of the cave, an oval egg the size of a huge boulder surrounded by a person was lying quietly inside. A strong pulse beat reached Liu Tian's ears.
"An egg can actually have such a strong pulse." Liu Tian was very surprised for a moment.
The egg in front of me is like a little life, growing in this narrow cave.
"Is this a python egg?" Liu Tian was a little confused.
The egg was growing in the cave. Liu Tian withdrew without moving. When he exited, the python lay limp on the ground and could not lift its head. Only its eyes were blinking.
"Brother Python, are you okay?" Liu Tian screamed and quickly took out a pill from his arms and gave it to the Python.
This elixir was recently refined by Liu Tian. It can quickly restore the body's spiritual power and is a good medicine to replenish physical strength.
Unfortunately, the python didn't react much after eating it. The last look it looked at Liu Tian was so kind and kind, more like the look of an old man when he passed away.
But its eyes kept wanting to look into the cave, but it couldn't see because it couldn't raise its head or move its body.
Liu Tian made another trip, took out the egg from the cave, and brought it to the python. After seeing the egg, the python closed its eyes with peace of mind.
Liu Tian touched the python's neck with his tentacles and found that the heartbeat had stopped.
