Please bring your best friends to practice immortality

Chapter 865 Anaconda
Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows.

"Judging from the aura, it should be a plant spirit or something like that, but... this aura is filled with brutality..."

The aura of plant elves, out of ten, are smooth and gentle. Even if they have a lively temperament like the king, the most mischievous thing they can think of is to suddenly crawl out from the ground and trip someone. It is rare to see an aura like this that is full of killing and destruction!
"It seems...either they were bred by ancient immortals, or these half-snake people used some special method..."

As they were talking, the monks had already started to fight.
"boom……"

The middle-aged woman holding the fire gourd was the first to act. She released the smaller firebird. The firebird cried out and blew out a mouthful of flames. The flames stimulated the python-like roots and suddenly began to twist wildly, turning into countless giant pythons.
"Hiss..."

Countless snake heads raised up and opened their mouths wide towards the firebird.
“Hiss, hiss…”

Countless mouths opened wide and spit out wisps of black air, which merged into one in mid-air and turned into a huge black python, chasing after the firebird. The middle-aged woman had a solemn expression and was muttering something in her mouth...

Many monks here also used flying swords and flying knives to chop at the roots that looked like giant pythons.
"Dangdangdang..."

As the magic weapon approached, the giant python twisted its body and turned into a motionless gray-brown tree root...

Everyone was busy fighting off the enemy, only Pu Yanlan and Cai Heming stood with their hands behind their backs, their eyes fixed on the cracks where roots were constantly gushing out, both of them looked a little solemn.
"Rumble...Rumble..."

Something huge was climbing up from the crack in the ground. After a while of shaking, a huge pale head poked out from the crack.
"Roar……"

The huge head slowly moved upwards, and mud and rocks kept falling from the air with a light rumble. Everyone hurriedly turned on the protective divine light to block the falling rocks on their heads. When they looked up again, they could see the full appearance of the monster that came out of the ground. It turned out to be a huge half-snake man, a dead half-snake man!
Its head was pale because the flesh on it had rotted away, leaving only an empty skull. The part below the neck to the lower body was strangely not rotten. Not only that, its skin was smooth and shiny, and it had towering pectoral muscles. Its upper body was muscular, and it looked similar to an ordinary half-snake man except that it was much bigger. However, its lower body was not a snake's tail, but was made up of countless giant pythons. When motionless, they looked like countless gray-brown roots, but when slightly stimulated, they turned into hissing, toothy pythons.

Cai Heming looked shocked.
"What is this thing? Its aura is really chaotic. It seems alive but not alive, dead but not dead, like a python but not a python, like a tree but not a tree... It's so weird..."

He turned to look at Pu Yanlan.

"I wonder if Elder Pu has seen it?"

Pu Yanlan had never seen it before. She thought for a moment and said,

"I read an ancient book a while ago, which recorded ancient witchcraft. It seemed to record this..."

To be honest, mankind's pursuit and exploration of life and death has never been related to the level of civilization development. In ancient times, when immortals had not yet flourished, there was ancient witchcraft seeking immortality. The ancestors at that time did not know the mysteries of heaven and earth, but they also knew that the lifespan of trees was much longer than that of humans. So there was a witch who believed that if humans merged with trees, they could use the longevity of trees to achieve immortality.

Hence, the ancient art of Bairong came into being, which meant being able to blend with trees, rocks, rivers, lakes and seas, and borrowing these natural things to achieve a lifespan far longer than that of humans!
This kind of witchcraft was considered as barbaric and evil magic by the immortals later on, so they naturally disdained to practice it. However, they only recorded some of it in the books that collected the strange and weird magic from all over the world. Among the books of martial arts collected by Pu Yanlan and Gu Shiyi, there was one. Gu Shiyi read it as a strange novel and told it to Pu Yanlan after reading it. There was a picture of a half-man and half-tree on it. Pu Yanlan took a look at it and still had some memory of it. She didn't expect to see it here today. She briefly told Cai Heming about it.
"...This half-human, half-tree creature is an ancient evil magic. It cannot exist under the sun and can only be kept in the dark underground. These half-snake people have Yin meridians all over their bodies. They can change their Yang bodies into Yin objects. This is how powerful they are!"

Cai Heming raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Then I wonder... is there any way to deal with it?"

Pu Yanlan smiled slightly and said,

"To overcome Yin, one must use Yang fire..."

After a pause, he changed his mind and said,

"It's a pity that Eleven is not here, otherwise I could have taken her magic mirror and borrowed the sunlight to easily get rid of this thing..."

Hey! I don’t know where Eleven went. Why hasn’t he come back for so long?
"...Of course, the Extreme Yin Fire can also deal with it..."

Thinking of this, Pu Yanlan reached out and took out her human bone mirror.
"Elder Cai, please lead the other Taoists to step aside and be careful to prevent the half-snakes from attacking in the chaos. Leave this monster to me!"

Cai Heming nodded and called everyone to be on alert. Pu Yanlan turned the human bone mirror upside down and muttered something. Soon, countless dark clouds flew in the distant sky. In an instant, they gathered into a large cloud, covering the entire sky within a radius of 100 miles. The original bright day turned into dark night, "Boom..."

There was a sound coming from the dark cloud. The monster that crawled out from the ground sensed the pressure in the cloud and roared. When it lowered its head, two balls of ghost fire appeared in its empty eyes. It knew that the thing in the cloud was summoned by the woman in front of it. It roared at Pu Yanlan and stretched out its hand to grab her. Pu Yanlan did not move, but a golden light flashed in her hand, and it pierced straight into the giant palm that stretched out. The golden light flew from its palm through the back of the palm and flew back to Pu Yanlan's hand.
"Roar……"

Black blood gushed out from the pierced hole. When it fell onto the ground, it made a sizzling sound. A large area of ​​the ground was instantly charred. Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows when she saw this.
"This poison is unusually strong!"

I wonder if I can take some to make pills?

"what……"

The monster was furious. After retracting its hand, it twisted its body. The giant pythons halfway below it suddenly raised their heads, opened their mouths and made a hissing sound. They slid down from under it one after another, turning into a surging tide of snakes, rushing towards Pu Yanlan and a group of cultivators...

"what……"

Everyone shouted in unison, and each of them took out their magic weapons. Just as they were about to start, they saw Pu Yanlan standing in front of them coldly smile, raised her hand and pulled out the golden hairpin in her hair, and gently scratched the ground in front of them. In the flash of golden light, a golden wall rose from the ground, and the giant pythons that rushed over plunged into the golden light...

Just as everyone was waiting to see the giant pythons rushing out from the golden light, the golden light suddenly became brighter. Everyone's eyes blurred, but they did not see a giant python piercing through the golden light. Instead, they heard the roar of the huge monster above.

"Hoohoho..."

Pu Yanlan was not satisfied yet. She took out her glass box and poured out the colorful quicksand inside. The quicksand immediately turned into a wave of sand and rolled back towards the giant pythons.
"Zizzizi..."

Just like a red-hot carbon ball falling into water, the giant python encountered quicksand and immediately countless blood mists exploded. Everyone saw that in just half an incense stick of time, half of the sky had turned blood red behind the golden light!
"It's so awesome!"

The monks cried out in dismay, while the bald old man and the white-tailed old man who were watching the battle from a distance had gloomy faces.
"Chief, this woman is really capable. She was able to block the attack of the anaconda... How can we take advantage of the chaos to attack?"

The bald old man frowned, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said,
"Send the Ancestral Guards over..."

The old man with white tail was startled and tried to stop him.

“The Ancestral Spirit Guards have been guarding the Ancestral Spirits in the bowels of the earth. If we call them out…if the Ancestral Spirits make any unusual movements, I’m afraid we won’t be able to retreat in time!”

The bald old man said angrily,

"We have sent out all the available personnel. All guards have suffered casualties. Only the Ancestral Guard can fight..."

The white-tailed old man fell silent after hearing this. The bald old man was right. Although there were tens of thousands of half-snake people in their tribe, most of them were ordinary half-snake people. Sending these people would be like sending them to die. The previous guards had already fought for their lives, and all of them had lost a lot of manpower. These scale guards were the elite of the half-snake people. For the sake of the whole tribe, they couldn't all die here! If the clan leader didn't want to do it himself, he could only send the ancestral guards to do it!

"Then...what about the ancestral spirits?"

The bald old man thought for a moment and said,
"It's okay... The Ancestral Spirit has a magic array to suppress it. The Ancestral Spirit Guards will temporarily leave for 24 hours. It will be fine!"

After thinking for a while he said,
"You can send the White Scale Guards to the altar to guard the magic circle. As long as the magic circle is intact, the ancestral spirits will not be able to escape!"

"Yes! In that case... I will go and guard it myself!"

The old man with white tail turned and left, leading a group of white-tailed half-snakes to run all the way to a mountain peak. They saw a natural alpine lake on the mountain peak. The lake was calm, with only one exit. The lake water turned into a stream and flowed down from the cliff along the exit. From a distance, it looked like the Milky Way hanging upside down in the sky. It was a beautiful scenery. There were guards here. After the old man with white tail had a brief conversation with the guards by the lake, he led the people to jump into the lake...

The water in this high mountain lake was not cold but a little warm. Everyone twisted their waists and swung their tails all the way down. After going deep underground, the water temperature rose little by little. In the end, many people were red all over and felt burning all over, but they all had ferocious faces and gnashed their teeth to endure...
