Two barren hill houses
"Go..., even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we have to go for it. If we retreat now, we will cut off our junior brother's life," Zhang Lingxiao made a decision with great passion, giving Zhang Lingyun more firm belief.
Every brother in the Taiping Palace is indispensable. Now that he knows that there is a way to save people ahead, he will never give up this hope. Zhang Lingyun stepped on the uneven stone steps and continued to move forward. Not long after, there was a fork in the corridor ahead.
, the guiding talisman floated slowly to one side without any hesitation, and the two of them followed the direction guided by the talisman and continued to go straight.
The faint smell of blood hit his face, which confirmed that he was heading in the right direction. Zhang Lingyun covered his sleeves and nose and quickened his pace. Not far away, he saw a man lying on the ground crawling towards them.
"Save..., please, save...me...,"
The face of the person in front of him was covered with blood and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Zhang Lingyun could only identify the identity of the woman in front of her from her trembling voice. The person was lying on the ground and her legs were cut off at the knees. Behind the woman
Dragging out a long trail of blood, he was waving his arms to ask for help.
Before the woman finished speaking, a black shadow jumped out from the distance and rushed towards the bloody man at a very fast speed. Zhang Lingyun threw out the amulet and an invisible protective barrier stood in front of him, like a huge transparent wall in front of him. The black shadow was extremely fast.
It was almost approaching, "Bang~," a huge spiritual impact sounded, and the black shadow was bounced away by the protective barrier. The body flipped several times in the air before the impact was released, and finally landed steadily on the ground.
Zhang Lingyun felt a fierce whirlwind coming from the opposite side. Just as he was about to use his spiritual power to strengthen the defense of the amulet, he felt that the thick protective barrier instantly exploded into pieces and slowly turned into dust. At the same time, the whirlwind blew away the bloody people on the ground.
It swept away with the black shadow, leaving only a dazzling trail of blood.
"Chasing him?" Zhang Lingxiao wanted to ask for his junior brother's opinion, but turned around and found that he had disappeared. "Oh~," he couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed deeply, not knowing where to go at this time.
"This speed is really awesome... I added three talismans and couldn't catch up. Senior brother... can you see clearly what it is?" Zhang Lingyun picked up the magic talisman and returned in a flash, breathing heavily, and saw
The sad senior brother was very surprised and confused.
"What just flashed past looked like a long insect, I'm not sure," Zhang Lingxiao didn't want to teach his junior brother how to avoid risks at this time. On the contrary, it discouraged his junior brother from fighting, so he had to secretly suppress the anger in his heart.
"Senior Brother, the direction pointed by the talisman is the same as the direction in which the long insect escaped. Should we still pursue it?" Zhang Lingyun was still afraid of cold-blooded animals and was ready to leave the decision-making power in the hands of his senior brother.
The two briefly discussed and decided to continue moving forward. After a hundred steps, an eerie and huge dragon-carved stone door appeared in front of them. There was blood dripping from the gaps in the stone door. The two grabbed the ring and opened the stone door with force.
"Gala...," followed by the sound of a machine starting up, the thick stone door slowly opened, and the strong smell of blood filled the air. Zhang Lingyun was almost fainted by the sudden blood gas, and couldn't help but cover his mouth with his sleeves.
nose.
The giant braziers on the four stone pillars emitted flickering flames, and the dark hall suddenly became as bright as day. The surrounding stone walls seemed to have been carefully polished to be very smooth, and a thick layer of mist condensed on the dome of the hall, which made people feel
It is impossible to estimate the height of the stone hall here. The floor of the hall is stained with blood, and twenty or thirty corpses lie in the center.
"Senior Brother, please come to your senses. Be careful, there are zombies here," Zhang Lingyun pointed at the hill made of people on the ground, raised his eyebrows slightly and made gestures on his neck from left to right with his backhand, making a gesture that might be silenced.
"Ling Yun, see if there are anyone alive. It would be good to save one."
The two looked through everything in the place and did not find any survivors. Instead, they found that many corpses showed signs of being eaten, and a few corpses were missing limbs and part of their flesh.
"Brother, this miserable woman seems to be the one who was swept away just now."
Zhang Lingyun turned over the woman's body and saw that her eyes were wide open with a look of death. The head and neck were only connected by a palm-sized piece of flesh. The bloody head and even the neck bones were clearly visible. Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but began to swallow his saliva to avoid himself.
Vomited out at this horrific sight.
Zhang Lingxiao felt a strange sound. He held a few divine fire talismans in his hands and alerted the surroundings. He walked softly towards his junior brother and made a silent gesture to pull his junior brother to the edge of the hall.
"Hiss...," Zhang Lingyun was reminded by his senior brother. He also noticed a strange hissing sound coming from above his head, and the two of them slowly moved back to back towards the stone wall.
At this time, a shadow more than ten meters long spiraled down from the vault. The movement of the shadow dispersed the clouds and mist, and the true body of the giant snake emerged. The snake's body was as transparent as jade, and the bones and blood vessels in the body could be clearly seen from the outside.
There was no ripple in the red pupils, and the scales on the body had no luster at all.
"Hey, let me go! Who is this powerful puppet? He can't even bear to inject some spiritual power." Zhang Lingyun leaned against the stone wall and pinched the divine fire talisman in his hands. He was shocked, and secretly pinched his fingers to release the spiritual power in his body to stir up the spiritual energy. He repeated several times
Only then did I dare to confirm the identity of the giant snake.
"Be careful," Zhang Lingxiao stretched out his hand to pull his junior brother back, avoiding the sneak attack of the snake's tail in time, and threw out a few sacred fire talismans with his backhand to hit the giant snake. The talismans emitted a weak red light and stuck to the head and neck of the giant snake like lightning.
at.
The divine fire talisman that found the target instantly burst into scorching flames, "Zi la~, zi la...," The giant snake was unprepared and was successfully attacked by Zhang Lingxiao. The huge white snake body was burned by the hot flames of the divine fire talisman, leaving black spots.
The giant snake sensed the approaching danger and immediately went into a state of madness. It kept twisting and turning its body against the smooth stone wall. With its continuous efforts, the giant snake actually wiped off the talisman to relieve the crisis. The giant snake did not dare to move forward rashly and was forced to do so.
Backing away continuously.
"Despicable villain, let's see grandpa cut your corpse into thousands of pieces first, and then dig up your ancestral grave and whip the corpse!" Zhang Lingyun didn't like cold-blooded animals, and the hair on his body stood up. He was furious but didn't dare to do it rashly, so he had to hide behind his senior brother and speak quickly.
.
Zhang Lingxiao moved away from his junior brother and pinched the air-drawing talisman and applied it to his chest. "Click~, click..." The veins on his fair arms popped out, and the phalanges of his fists clenched tightly and made a clicking sound. His body instantly grew stronger and stronger.
The person's mighty and domineering look flashed with a fierce cold light in his eyes.
The giant snake felt that a battle was inevitable, and decided to take a preemptive strike. It opened its bloody mouth and sprayed out thick liquid in the direction of Zhang Lingyun.
"You've already damaged your appearance like this, but you still know how to pick on the weak, that's okay!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Lingyun did not dodge, he held out the amulet in front of him, waved his hand and threw the divine fire talisman, and a red light flashed through the talisman and headed toward the giant snake's face.
Unfortunately, the same attack did not work. Although the prepared giant snake was huge, it could dodge the talisman's attack by twisting its body flexibly. However, it never thought that the talisman could track the target according to the caster's thoughts, which was very unsatisfactory.
With the tenacity to never give up, the giant snake has felt the power of the talisman and does not want to be hurt again. It twists its huge body to avoid, having no time to care about other existences.
How could Zhang Lingxiao miss this opportunity? He held Lingxiao's sword and stabbed the giant snake's skull. As the giant snake tried its best to avoid the red talisman, silver light flashed in the sky. Suddenly, a dark sword mark appeared on the giant snake's neck. At this time, a black
The mist spread from the cracks in the stone wall, clinging to the snake's scars and bursting repeatedly like soap bubbles.
Zhang Lingyun felt that the spiritual energy in this semi-enclosed hall was fluctuating abnormally. As the black mist dissipated, the wound on the giant snake's neck miraculously healed as before. The giant snake was no longer flexible after the fierce attack just now.
"Boom~," Zhang Lingyun saw the right moment and guided the talisman to successfully hit the slow-moving giant snake. The divine fire talisman hit the giant snake's head, and the dry and greasy snake's head burned instantly like a torch dipped in kerosene.
"Hiss..." The giant snake was frightened and resentful and sent out a wave of invisible spiritual energy impact. Zhang Lingxiao wielded the Lingxiao sword and inserted it into the stone slab to avoid the layers of spiritual energy impact from knocking the two people away.
The giant snake couldn't stand the burning flames of the divine fire talisman. It twisted its body crazily and hit everything it saw. Even the stone pillars supporting the dome were not spared. The stone wall wrapped around the outer wall of the stone pillars cracked due to the impact and shattered into pieces.
Stones flew everywhere, stirring up dust all over the room.
"Oh yeah, yeah~, senior brother, we can be considered as slaying demons now! Master will definitely be proud of us," Zhang Lingyun, although usually naughty and mischievous, still longs for recognition and praise from his master, and now he finally
I was so excited to have such a good opportunity that I danced and pulled my senior brother around in circles.
"This can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people," Zhang Lingxiao said with a smile on his face, "Hmm...," a pain like squeezing and kneading came from his arm.
"Senior...brother?"
Zhang Lingyun's smile stopped abruptly. Before he could figure out his senior brother's injury, a powerful wave of spiritual energy came from the direction of the dead snake. This time, the spiritual energy was more solid and powerful than before.
When the dust settled, "His~, Hiss...," the giant snake made a warning sound. The appearance of the giant snake in front of him was completely different from before. The lusterless scales were now glowing with a faint green light, and its tail grew faintly.
Han's ferocious spikes, half-meter-long fangs protruding from the huge triangular snake's mouth, and its red pupils revealed pity and contempt for Zhang Lingyun.
"Junior brother, don't be afraid, this is just the complete body of the giant snake."
Zhang Lingxiao is the eldest disciple of Taiping Palace. Although he is not Master's most proud disciple, he is still highly regarded. He once followed Zhang Shanxing (Master) down the mountain to slay monsters, and he is more aware of the changes among monsters.
"Senior brother, if we can't defeat it with such a strong momentum, it wouldn't be a shame!"
The ferocious and evil giant snake in front of him gave Zhang Lingyun an unprecedented sense of crisis. He was very self-conscious.
Zhi Ming, the Snake Demon Puppet in front of him was comparable to the Golden Core Stage. It was definitely not something that two Foundation Establishment Stage monks could defeat. However, his sense of honor as an immortal cultivator prevented him from shrinking back, so he had to say hello to his senior brother first.
If you are defeated and run away, you won't be wasting your breath. If you risk your own life, any talk of slaying demons will be just empty talk to fool the ghosts.
"Haha, Ling Yun, remember, if you are mentally exhausted during the battle, you must retreat in time and don't fight anymore. Senior brother will stand behind you." Zhang Lingxiao did not use any high-sounding words to persuade his junior brother to fight with all his strength. He just tried his best to give a
Assure.
The kind of person who was recorded in books and could protect his brothers from disasters was standing in front of him. Zhang Lingyun looked at his elder brother who was almost the same age as him, and felt an indescribable touch deep in his heart.
The giant snake that turned into its complete body exuded huge coercion and disappeared in a flash. Zhang Lingxiao sensed the approaching danger and stabbed behind him with a sword. Zhang Lingyun instantly used his amulet to block it in front of him, wanting to help his senior brother share some of the burden.
The dangerous, arrogant giant snake did not dodge Zhang Lingxiao's attack and prepared to resist it.
"Ah~," Zhang Lingxiao struck out with a sharp sword, almost using all his strength. Unexpectedly, he was knocked away by the giant snake's strong body. Zhang Lingxiao turned around and took a few steps back to stabilize his body. The giant snake twisted its figure.
Throwing out the snake's tail with ferocious spikes, it went straight towards Zhang Lingxiao's waist and abdomen. Zhang Lingxiao stabilized his body and faced the attack but failed. The snake's tail flew away and hit the wall. At the critical moment, Zhang Lingyun pinched the magic talisman and disappeared in the air.
After catching the big brother, he rolled over and ran towards the door.
The giant snake reacted very quickly and dodged. Its huge snake body blocked the door firmly, and it opened its bloody mouth to swallow the two people who were about to run away. Zhang Lingxiao pushed his junior brother away from the battlefield with a backhand push, and threw several
After opening the yellow thunder talisman, he also left the battlefield.
"Crack~," spiritual energy condensed from all directions, forming a thick cloud layer in the semi-enclosed stone chamber. Along with the deafening roar, majestic and sharp lightning suddenly struck down, and the giant snake was frightened by the sudden arrival of the heavenly threat.
I was so dumbfounded that I froze in place and didn't know how to evade. The place where the thunder and lightning hit was gradually obscured by smoke and flying rocks. Only the shadow of the giant snake kept tumbling.
"Ling Yun, how many red talismans do you have left?"
"Three, I should be able to draw another one,"
Zhang Lingyun took out the red talisman paper and concentrated on stabilizing his breath. He scratched his fingernails and injected spiritual power into his fingers to draw a thunder talisman. He threw the talisman and attached it to the four stone pillars supporting the hall. He pulled his senior brother to hide beside the stone door on the other side and quietly
wait.
The dust dispersed, and the giant snake gradually moved towards the two of them dragging its broken body. Zhang Lingyun pinched his fingers to trigger the talisman, "Boom~, click~," the divine fire talisman and the thunder inducing talisman erupted at the same time, and invisible spiritual energy fluctuations continued to impact.
In the main hall, the ground shook and made a loud sound of broken stone slabs. The stone pillars supporting the main hall were overwhelmed and broke in sections. The already dilapidated walls collapsed suddenly. The vault of the main hall fell from a high place and accompanied by the collapse of the stone pillars, huge
The rocks kept falling, and the giant snake was stunned by the sudden turn of events. It took a long time to react, and it kept twisting and swinging its body to dodge the flying rocks.
Zhang Lingyun didn't wait for the situation to develop, and then he pulled his senior brother and jumped into an open stone door. In front of him was a bottomless corridor, "Cha, Cha~, Cha~," the two of them seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, hanging on the
The torches on the wall automatically ignited flames and quickly spread to illuminate the road ahead.
"Hey, senior brother, the guiding talisman is in front of you. There is really no end to the road, haha, haha," Zhang Lingyun turned pale and fell to the ground after a burst of sad laughter. The talisman cast just now almost exhausted him.
The spiritual power within the body.
"Now we have no retreat, there may be opportunities if we continue to move forward," Zhang Lingxiao sat down next to his junior brother, dug out a fist-sized oil paper bag from the Qiankun bag and stuffed it into his junior brother's hands.
"Wow~, senior brother is the best,"
Zhang Lingyun opened the oil paper, and there were more than a dozen exquisite snacks inside. Although they were orphans, they had been educated, but as monks, they were extremely boring to practice. Desserts were considered luxuries in the Taiping Palace. Zhang Lingyun carefully pinched them.
Pick up a piece of peach blossom cake and put it in your mouth, savoring its deliciousness with a look of happiness and satisfaction on your face.
"Why only eat one piece?"
"Senior brother, I bought the food for everyone to eat. I'm not that thick-skinned, so that's good." Zhang Lingyun carefully wrapped the snacks and put them back in his senior brother's hands, patted the dust on his body and started on the journey again.
