Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 58 Skilled hunters often...
In ancient times, the danger level would increase dramatically once one left the city.

No one knows if there will be any ferocious beasts or highway robbers, and certain groups of people, such as scholars, may even encounter various spirits and fox spirits.

In short, few people walk alone unless absolutely necessary.

Xu Xuan felt as if he were revisiting an old place. It was on the same path that he had merged his soul with the heavens and earth and comprehended the innate ability to ride the wind at breakneck speed.

The surrounding area was still desolate.

The area was overgrown with weeds, and the sound of leaves rustling could be heard from time to time in the sparse woods.

Such a sight would fill an ordinary person with fear as they walked by.

But if you part the bushes, something even more terrifying is about to happen.

Beneath the tall weeds, there was a winding, twisted mark that stretched from outside the city all the way to the foot of the mountain, as if it had been crushed by a giant object.

A pair of vertical pupils stared intently at the scholar amidst the mountains and forests.

The blue snake's body lay prone on the ground, its forked tongue flicking in and out, sensing the mingling of turbid and cold air, maximizing its senses.

As a top hunter, she would feel more comfortable in her original form in such an environment.

After being kicked away last night, Xiaoqing sought help from outside the court.

According to the analysis, if the scholar-monk really had great magical powers, he wouldn't have used such a despicable trick.

One can use their demonic body to overpower others and break their techniques.

Therefore, the other party is not a sword immortal, but a wise man.

Of course, Xiaoqing saw this as no different from cheating, and was even more indignant.

Although her sister advised her not to provoke Buddhist people anymore, she agreed readily.

They just won't listen.

After all, that scholar and monk were too much of a bully.

She even went so far as to carve a thousand "人" (person) characters herself, a sarcastic remark, because she actually knew how to write that character.

This time, we must fight to see who comes out on top.

That scholar-monk, we won't eat you, we'll just scare you a little, and then kick you eighteen times.

Of course, in the end, I also need to write a thousand "青" characters.

As he pondered this, a strange smile appeared on the giant snake's head.

Xu Xuan, who was on the mountain path, was also very tired. This monster was not only not special in terms of identity, but also had no bloodthirsty aura and no bad deeds. It was like a naive and illiterate child who did not know how to behave.

To say that killing someone indiscriminately is cruel and immoral, only increasing the number of murders and adding to the evil consequences.

It will also attract a mad, thousand-year-old demon.

But if you don't take drastic measures, getting entangled with them can be quite annoying.

My own identity is also very special. If he were to see and spread the life-saving technique of the Finger of No Life, it would be a huge disaster.

After all, you can't expect a mentally challenged monster to keep a secret.

Since that's the case, then let me teach you another lesson.

Halfway there, there happened to be a place to rest by the roadside.

Xu Xuan sat there, opened his bundle, and began to eat and drink.

Since becoming wealthy, his standards for quality of life have also risen.

Even in the wild, we have to eat three dishes, including good things like beef.

The fragrance drifted with the wind into the grass.

Xiaoqing was hungry.

Damn it, this scholar-monk actually eats meat!

And watch as she overturns this fellow's food.

The snake moved slowly, trying its best to suppress its demonic aura.

It's a kind of animalistic instinct.

In the wild, the green snake is a top predator.

Predators typically conduct thorough observation and preparation before hunting. They use their keen senses to detect the tracks of prey and determine the type, quantity, and location of the prey.

At the same time, they will also choose the right time and place to hunt in order to ensure the success rate and safety of the hunt.

For example, at this moment, the green snake is approaching from downwind, its red thermal images in its eyes resembling human figures without any wary movement. From a third-person perspective, one could see a gigantic green snake steadily approaching a scholar—a truly terrifying sight.

At this moment, several butterflies flew in from all directions, flitting up and down. They didn't seem out of place in the grass, but you couldn't look at them closely.

Upon closer inspection, one will notice that the trajectories of these butterfly-like flying objects are somewhat abnormal, and they fly with unusual difficulty.

Because their wings are very haphazardly grown, some are big, some are small, and some are uneven, it's a miracle that they can even take off.

Its appearance was also extremely ugly, even more terrifying than the Green Snake, like a cruel joke played by the Creator.

Xiaoqing was excitedly approaching her target, so focused that she ignored the details around her.

She was getting closer and closer, feeling quite pleased with herself.

They got so close and didn't even notice, and they still dared to lecture me, Master Qing.

A certain mindset naturally arises, which is probably: the advantage lies with me.

Just as she was about to make her move, Xu Xuan suddenly spoke.

"Let me teach you another lesson."

"A skilled hunter often appears as the prey."

No, I fell into a trap.

Startled, Xiaoqing decided to let the other party go for the time being, but it was too late.

The Cthulhu butterflies flying overhead began to scatter phosphorus powder, or more accurately, they began to disintegrate, dropping countless yellow powders from their paper bodies.

Without wasting a single moment, the snake, which was dozens of meters long, had no chance to escape.

Xiaoqing's mind went blank; the strong smell was impacting her mental will and even shaking her demon soul.

realgar?!!!
It let out a howl and started twisting in place, trying to shake off the dust.

Before she became a demon, these realgars could not harm her.

Realgar is a smell that snakes find extremely repulsive, or rather, snakes dislike most pungent smells.

However, things change after becoming a demon, as one enters the rules of mutual generation and restraint planned by the Heavenly Dao.

Realgar became one of the things that restrained snakes, something ingrained in their very soul.

The scorpion demon in the Pipa Cave of Poisonous Enemy Mountain is so powerful that even Buddha was stung by the poisonous stinger and his sixteen-foot golden body was broken.

However, it was restrained by the Pleiades Star Lord, and after two cries, it revealed its true form. This is the principle of mutual generation and restraint.

The battle between Sun Wukong and Yang Jian over their seventy-two transformations also involved the interplay of mutual generation and restraint within the art of transformation.

They were all highly powerful beings, their magical abilities as vast as the sea, yet they could not escape this rule.

Bai Suzhen only managed to withstand the realgar wine brewed by mortals with her 1,700 years of cultivation, and her cultivation and magic were weakened, causing her to reveal her true form.

Xiaoqing, a mere transformed little monster, is naturally no match for her.

Soon he felt his spirit weaken, his magic power diminish, and his body feel sore and weak. He didn't even have the strength to escape from here.

Moreover, the scholar-monk had appeared in front of her at some point.

Then a flash of golden light appeared before my eyes.

Same recipe, different taste.

Actually, Xu Xuan was also startled when he turned around.

Although I had a premonition in my mind, I was still quite shocked to see the real body of the giant snake, which was tens of meters long, with my naked eyes.

No wonder they were scared to death. Watch me avenge them.

With a thought, a gentle breeze swirled around his feet, and in a few steps he arrived before the giant serpent.

An ordinary man would appear so small standing in front of a green snake that is tens of meters long, but what happens next is quite shocking.

"Little monster, take this!"

Xu Xuan, like a god in the wind, leaped into the air.

"After realizing that I was standing on pure land, I pondered it every day and figured out a leg technique by the stream behind the academy."

"Please enlighten me!"

At the same time, he silently prayed, "Junior Brother Feng, don't blame me for embarrassing myself."

"The wind swept away the ruins!"
