I am a villain and have been captured. Why are the fairies asking me to come out?

This was not some magical power, nor was it some advanced sword technique; it was just a casual strike of her sword.

The bright light illuminated the heaven and earth, making the starry sky pale in comparison.

In a flash, the sword's will broke through the sea of ​​stars and turned into an endless silver arc of light that slashed down at the enemy. Before the chaotic figure could react, he was split in two by the sword light from top to bottom.

The stardust shrouding the outside dissipated with the death of its owner, and an old man covered in witch marks gradually emerged from the chaos.

puff.

The two halves of the body fell to the ground.

Qian Qiuxue didn't go to see the astrological corpse.

She knew that it was an incarnation of the other party, and her real body was still unknown.

The Zhan Clan in the Nine Divisions of the Wu Clan is similar to the Tianji Sect in the Orthodox Path, both of which are good at comprehending the Zhou Tian astrology and calculating future destiny. The difference is that the Zhan Clan calculates for oneself, while the Tianji Sect calculates for external objects.

As the patriarch of the Zhan clan, he should be well aware of his own fortune and misfortune. How could an astrologer not predict that he would face a fatal disaster?

When she turned around to look for Chi Jian again, the tent door was empty and there was no trace of the giant man.

"Want to run?"

The woman narrowed her scarlet eyes, and after sensing it carefully, she suddenly raised her jade hand and slapped the ground below.

The giant hand that appeared on Yuheng Mountain now descended upon the ancestral tribe of the Chi clan, pressing down with great force.

boom! !

Amidst the deafening roar, countless plants and trees vanished into thin air, and sand, soil and rocks collapsed into ashes.

A huge sinkhole with a radius of one hundred feet was left on the ground.

And in the tiankeng, there was a dark and ancient underground palace revealed.

Qian Qiuxue looked at the underground palace quietly.

As expected, Chi Jian was hiding in this underground palace.

"Are you walking into a trap?" she said to herself coldly.

The graceful figure under the waning moon floated towards the underground palace. Beside her, all the darkness and coldness were dispelled by the moonlight.

Qian Qiuxue came here this time not just to destroy the Chi clan.

She even wanted to ask the Chi clan leader which people the previous chief witch had told about the method to resolve the witchcraft poison.

Or...someone.

……

"Turn left at the top of the hill ahead."

"Go left after more than a hundred feet."

"Further left."

"...Master, doesn't this mean we can just go back?" the girl asked quietly.

"Now to the right."

In the dense forest three hundred miles away from Ning'an County, Li Yulo and Yan Mobai had been going back and forth for a long time.

In order to find the elixir as soon as possible, the two of them hurried out of the county after buying the spiritual stones and precious herbs. They moved forward with the spiritual light all the way, without any delay, and arrived at the valley where the elixir was in the evening.

But after wandering around in the valley until night, and walking all over the mountains, they still couldn't find the exact location of the elixir.

"Go right."

"Keep going right."

……

After a while, the girl finally couldn't help but stop, tugged at the corner of Yan Mobai's clothes with her small hands, and looked at him suspiciously with her big eyes: "Master, are you... lost?"

There was no sign of human beings around here, and there were towering trees everywhere. The dense treetops blocked most of the moonlight, and it was pitch black. The leader couldn't find the direction with his mortal eyes, so it was understandable that he got lost.

"You're not lost, don't talk nonsense."

Although Yan Mobai denied it, he was quite confused in his heart.

"That place is really a bit weird. One moment it felt like it was there, and the next moment it was gone."

At first he thought that he had lost his cultivation and his spiritual perception had become dull, so sometimes his sense of direction was not very good.

After taking many detours, he gradually realized that the unpredictable direction in his perception was not his own problem.

To describe it, it was as if the pills were deliberately moving around them, deliberately taking them in circles. They were in front a few breaths ago, but they might be behind a few breaths later.

“It’s here one second, and gone the next?”

The girl put her hand on her chin in deep thought, and whispered to herself, "Could it be that those elixirs have become spirits over the years, and when they saw that we were going to catch them, they started to run away?"

Yan Mobai was about to answer when his eyes suddenly fixed on the jungle behind the girl.

From his perspective, he could just see a ray of moonlight seeping through the gaps in the treetops, illuminating a thick tree trunk not far away.

A giant python three feet thick was wrapped around it, its scales fluttering constantly as it slowly squirmed, a pair of golden vertical pupils looking towards here.

"Yan thinks... maybe it's not that the elixir has become a spirit, but that the elixir has been swallowed by the spirit."

Chapter 36: Python

Monsters are actually more afraid of humans than humans are of monsters.

To be precise, they are afraid of people who practice Taoism.

There is no shortage of goblins and ghosts in Jiuzhou, but the majority are cultivators. Each sect and school has its own territory. If any goblins dare to cause trouble in an important town, they will disappear from the world in no time.

People say that the more remote a place is, the more monsters there are. In fact, they are all driven there by humans. If there weren't so many rules, which monster would be willing to stay in the wilderness where the spiritual energy is thin?

The cautious giant python in front of the girl clearly had a cultivation level comparable to that of the late Jindan stage, but it still hid in a jungle far away from human habitation, swallowing up thin spiritual essence every day. Perhaps it was greedy for the immortal spiritual charm around those elixirs, so it swallowed them all.

After the initial surprise, Li Yulo looked at the giant python with an increasingly unfriendly gaze.

"Master...was it this one that swallowed my pill?" Her voice trembled and she was extremely angry.

That was the elixir that helped her advance to the Yuantai stage...

In her opinion, she could not advance to the Yuantai stage without the elixir. Not being able to advance to the Yuantai stage meant that she would have to run much slower from now on. Running slower meant that she would be caught up earlier. Being caught up meant that she would be imprisoned in the Sky Prison at the bottom of Yuheng Mountain and would never be able to meet the leader again.

Although Li Yulo had already prepared himself mentally for being caught, he still trembled with anger when he thought about the fact that he would lose a lot of time with the leader because of this giant python.

the most important is……

This pill was what the leader intended to give her.

The girl clenched her fists and her eyelashes drooped slightly.

She felt more sad than angry.

After knowing each other for so many days, the leader has never given her anything properly. If the roasted rabbit yesterday morning wasn't so unpalatable, it could barely be considered half a gift, but now...

These pills were the first gifts the leader gave her.

Judging from the dense scales of this giant python, it must be a female. To put it in a rounded form, it means that another woman has snatched away the gift given to her by the leader...

As she thought about it, the shadow on the girl's face grew deeper, the spiritual energy spread around her, and her slender fingertips touched the hilt of the sword.

The giant python wrapped around the tree seemed to have noticed her hostility and was squirming restlessly on the trunk.

The snake scales shone silver in the moonlight, scraping against the branches and leaves with a crackling sound. For some reason, the giant python remained there and did not choose to escape, its golden vertical pupils shining in the darkness.

He stole the leader's elixir and dared to stay and provoke her...

The girl gritted her teeth in anger. Just when she was about to draw her sword, the leader next to her held her little hand.

"Yu Luo."

Yan Mobai held the girl's hand tightly, "Don't do it."

“Master!” Li Yuluo opened his eyes wide, feeling wronged and indignant. He didn’t understand why the Master would stop him. “Don’t worry about me. I can beat it. I’m going to beat it!”

Seeing her so angry, Yan Mobai explained: "My divine consciousness stayed on the pill bottle, not on the pill. Now that my divine consciousness is directed to this giant python, it means that it swallowed the pill bottle intact."

"Well... that is to say..." The girl was stunned, the shadow in her light purple eyes faded slightly, and she vaguely guessed the meaning of the leader's words.

Is the elixir still there?

Just as she thought, Yan Mobai said slowly: "Those pill bottles are made of thousand-year-old bone porcelain, which is difficult to refine. If you don't understand the immortal way and can't unlock the restrictions on the bottle mouth, it will be useless for it to swallow it. Those pills are most likely still intact in its belly."

He turned his gaze back to the giant python, and its huge body shrank behind the tree again.

"It lingers, perhaps asking us for help."

"Help?" The girl looked at the giant python that was at least twenty meters long in disbelief.

Since ancient times, humans and demons have not been able to coexist. How could a demon ask humans for help?

"The bone china is mixed with the bone powder of a thousand-year-old demon. It should be mixed with the demonic energy of the python, and they penetrated each other, causing the pill bottle to attach to its body and not be expelled. With the demon in its body, it is naturally difficult for this python to make further progress in its cultivation."

"My divine consciousness was left on the pill bottle. It probably identified my aura and knew that I was the owner of the pill bottle. That's why it was circling around us before. But it noticed that your aura was stronger than its, and it was afraid that you would harm it, so it didn't show up for a long time."

As he spoke, Yan Mobai shouted at the giant python: "Since you want help, why are you hiding?"

As if it understood the meaning of his words, the giant python's pupils flashed, and it slowly climbed down from the tree.

sizzle...

The giant python was filled with doubt and fear. It would stop crawling from time to time, open its vertical pupils to observe the reactions of the two people, and only continue crawling after making sure that they did not move.

After a long time, it crawled close to the two of them. Its huge body blocked all the light, leaving only two golden vertical pupils shining like oil lamps in the darkness.

The scarlet snake's tongue was slightly sticking out, looking extremely terrifying. However, in contrast to its huge body, the giant python uttered a voice as tender as that of a young girl: "Please... remove the foreign object from my body..."

Can talk?

It turned out to be a monster that had refined the horizontal bone?

Even someone as knowledgeable as Yan Mobai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Although the lifespan of monsters is longer than that of humans, their cultivation speed is so slow that it takes hundreds of years. Even after hundreds of years of cultivation, they can rarely speak like humans, and their intelligence is much simpler than that of humans.

All demons and monsters are not tolerated by the Way of Heaven. They are rejected by the Way from the beginning and it is difficult for them to achieve the right result.

Jiuzhou is so vast, but there is not even a single sect founded by monsters, and very few people have ever seen a great monster in the realm of spirit refining. This is a good example.

The demon python in front of him has only the Jindan cultivation level, but it is able to refine its horizontal bones and speak human speech. The blood in its body is definitely extraordinary, and it is very likely to be a descendant of the ancient celestial demon.

But the descendants of the celestial demons all occupy a forbidden area. How could they appear in such a remote place with thin spiritual energy?

Seeing that he didn't respond, the giant python stammered and repeated: "Please... remove the foreign object... from my body..."

"Master, we know the monster's face but not its heart. Be careful it bites you." The girl couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, "Let me do it!"

"You...?" The giant python's vertical pupils looked at Li Yulo in confusion, as if doubting whether she could take out the pill bottle.

Li Yulo glared at it without saying anything. He pried open the python's upper and lower jaws and quickly slipped his small and delicate body inside.

Less than two seconds later, the girl pulled the giant python's jaw and stuck her head out, saying angrily: "When I'm not around, you are not allowed to touch the master! Otherwise... humph!"

She stared at the giant python's vertical pupils warningly, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent, which frightened the giant python so much that its big head trembled.

Seeing its timid appearance, the girl felt relieved and crawled into the python's mouth again.

Chapter 37: Rival

The python's body was damp and stuffy, and it squirmed and contracted from time to time. The sticky touch and strange smell made the girl almost vomit.

She quickly crawled deeper, and with the help of her spiritual vision, she soon found several things that looked like pill bottles.

The reason why I say it looks like it is because the only thing about these things that barely matches the shape of the pill bottle...

The girl stared blankly at the five bloody bottles that had long since grown together with the soft flesh inside the giant python. She seemed to vaguely see the bottles slowly wriggling along with the surrounding flesh.

"What the hell is this..."

Although she couldn't believe that these strange bottles were what she was looking for, there were no other foreign objects in the giant python's belly except them. No matter how shocked she was, she could only accept this fact.

Li Yuluo suppressed her strong nausea and stretched out her tender white hands to grab the bottle. It was clearly porcelain, but it had a sticky touch like meat. "Ugh..." The girl was instantly nauseated and almost couldn't help but draw her sword to chop the strange thing in front of her into pieces.

"I don't know if the pills inside can still be eaten..." She murmured softly, exerting force on her hands.

boo.
