Chapter 144 Golden Crown Python

He directly tore the rope apart and found a pair of chopsticks. He didn't dare to touch the black iron ring directly with his hands. The scene just now really scared him.

Carefully put the ring in a jade box and place it close to your body.

Jade is a very good insulating material, which is just right for holding the "old man". Moreover, Zhong Lin has no plans to revive it now. Firstly, his internal energy is not enough, and secondly, he is not fully prepared.

Zhong Lin was prepared for this to be a "dark old man" and was determined to meet him in the strongest condition.

He glanced at Gu Chen, who was either unconscious or sleeping. When he saw the broken rope tomorrow morning, he would just think that his ring was lost. He might be sad for a day or two, but his body's recovery would be enough to make up for it.

It might not be a bad thing for him to be without "Grandpa".

After all, according to this method of absorption, it is impossible for Gu Chen to cultivate to the supreme third level, and it would be difficult to reach the middle third level.

"This old man doesn't understand sustainable development. Fishing out the pond is not a good idea."

He stood up and left the room. Before leaving, he skillfully used his internal energy to fasten the beam in the room again.

The next morning, after saying goodbye to the Gu family father and son, the convoy set off again.

He poured out a drop of ten thousand year old ice marrow from the carriage and swallowed it into his stomach. He activated the "Spiritual Cold Sword Scripture" at full level and skillfully circulated his internal energy to swallow and refine it.

Finally, he probed towards the next acupuncture point with even greater force. In just half a day, the Diji acupuncture point was broken open, and a huge amount of internal energy instantly poured into it. The speed was so fast that even Zhong Lin was shocked.

"Very good. At this rate, all the acupuncture points in my feet will be opened before we reach the capital. Then, when I perform leg-related martial arts or light-weight secret techniques, the power will definitely be greatly increased."

Zhong Lin suppressed his inner joy and closed his eyes again to start practicing.

Time passed slowly, and we were getting closer and closer to the capital.

"General Niu, where is the front?"

In the carriage, Jiang Yuan parted the curtains and looked into the distance, only to see a huge mountain appear before his eyes, and in front of everyone was a huge canyon in the mountain.

Niu Dali spurred his horse forward and said, "Princess, ahead is Black Dragon Pass. After passing this Black Dragon Pass, we will reach Anyuan City."

Jiang Yuan nodded. After Anyuan City is Kyoto, which means they will arrive in about ten days.

But for some reason, looking at the dark canyon passage in front of him, Jiang Yuan felt an ominous premonition in his heart, always feeling that something dangerous was going to happen.

"parking."

Jiang Yuan suddenly shouted.

Although Niu Dali didn't know the reason, he waved his hand to signal the convoy to stop.

"Princess……"

"General Niu, please send someone in to explore first. I always feel like something is wrong up ahead."

"Yes."

Niu Dali nodded and waved his hand, and a group of people rode their horses and galloped away.

Suddenly, a fishy wind blew from the canyon, carrying a strong smell of fishy saliva.

The next moment, a python with a body length of more than 20 meters and as thick as a bucket suddenly jumped out from the rocks. Its appearance was no different from that of an ordinary python. It was both thick and full of power. However, if you look closely, you can see that there are circles of fine scales growing on the python's skin. However, these scales are not very noticeable, so you can't tell them apart without careful observation.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the golden crown on the head of this scaly snake.

This corolla bore some resemblance to the vibrant comb of a rooster, but it was significantly larger and thicker, and growing on the snake's head, it looked indescribably eerie. The python's upper body suddenly lifted, its lower body coiling into a towering formation. From its terrifying mouth, a nimble tongue flickered.

The scales above the neck were spread out, and the scales were as sharp as knives, looking fierce and ferocious.

Especially that bloody mouth, it seems that it can swallow even an elephant with ease. It is truly a "snake swallowing an elephant" without any falsehood.

The venomous fangs in that bloody mouth were as long as ivory and extremely sharp. One could imagine what the consequences would be if one was bitten.

The sudden appearance of the python frightened the galloping horse, causing it to raise its front hooves and neigh towards the sky.

Suddenly, the python rushed towards one of the guards at lightning speed and bit the horse's head into its bloody mouth.

The guard on horseback fell down in horror. Before he hit the ground, the snake's tail swung violently and hit him hard in the chest.

With a muffled groan, the guard was beaten into a puddle of mud without even a scream.

The others were already frightened out of their wits and turned their horses around and fled madly.

"The Golden Crown Python is a rare beast, the Golden Crown Python."

Niu Dali shouted out the python's identity in horror.

Jiang Yuan's face also turned pale, not only because of the python's identity as a strange beast, but also because of his fear of snakes.

Regardless of whether they are male or female, the fear of snakes seems to be engraved in their genes.

Zhong Lin, who was practicing in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes, took a step, and his figure appeared in front of the canyon in an instant like a gust of wind.

"The Golden Crown Python is a rare snake-like beast, famous for the golden crown on its head. This type of beast usually only appears in the mountains and jungles. Why did it appear on the official road?"

Zhong Lin frowned, looking puzzled.

Ordinary pythons are blind, but as exotic animals, this cannot be generalized.

There are clearly two small eyes under the golden crown of this golden-crowned python.

There was a ferocious and cunning look flashing in those two little eyes. Its look was extremely cold, without any emotion at all.

Its abdomen squirmed and in an instant it swallowed the high-speed horses into its stomach, but its body seemed to have no changes at all.

"Guard."

Niu Dali roared loudly, unsheathed the big knife in his hand, and the guards around him quickly formed a circle, tightly surrounding the carriage where Jiang Yuan was.

"Senior brother, this golden-crowned python cannot appear here for no reason. It must be controlled by someone." Jiang Yuan said, suppressing his inner fear.

Zhong Lin nodded calmly and scanned the area, but found no suspicious people.

"General Niu, protect Junior Sister Jiang well. I will deal with this strange beast first."

Zhong Lin suddenly let out a long roar and walked towards the valley in a swagger.

After the transformation of his Qigong practice, Zhong Lin had always wanted to find an opportunity to try out the power of the "Linghan Sword Sutra", but he never had the chance. Now the opportunity has come.

When the golden-crowned python heard Zhong Lin's roar, it immediately stopped moving, especially its small eyes looked in the direction of Zhong Lin, and the snake tongue in its mouth moved faster and faster. It seemed that it sensed something, and its huge body began to slowly try to gather in the center.

If it were an ordinary python, even a giant python that was more than ten meters long, it would not be able to coil up into a snake formation again after swallowing so many ferocious beasts. However, this golden-crowned python was indeed a beast born and raised naturally. Its huge body bent over abruptly, and it actually coiled into a huge snake formation again.
