The sound was squeezed out from the depths of the throat, like rusty metal rubbing against each other, with a sticky, wet sound. Each word was deliberately elongated, and the bite was stiff and difficult.
At the same time, a smelly wind pressed down on my head.
The young man's Adam's apple rolled, as if he had realized something, and his face instantly turned pale.
His neck was as stiff as a rusty machine. He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the fishy wind.
In front of his eyes, a huge snake head was hanging down, looking down at him.
The snake's head was ferocious, its scales glowed with a cold sheen, and its curved fangs were covered with turbid mucus, falling drop by drop.
It made a slight rustling sound when it landed on the ground.
The ground turned black.
Obviously the toxicity contained in it is extremely terrifying.
At this moment, the pair of Crimson snake eyes were staring at him silently. It was obvious that it was the giant snake that was wrapping him tightly that was speaking.
The young man looked at the snake's body. The white dots on the Black Scale were like eyes that kept blinking as the snake's body squirmed, making him dizzy for a while.
"... This is actually... a... monster?"
At this time, the young man finally reacted and quickly gritted his teeth, a fishy-sweet feeling filling his mouth.
Then he looked away, filled with shock.
"Your Majesty, I want to live, please... I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and below me... um..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt that the snake's body that was wrapping around him suddenly tightened a bit.
For a moment, his face turned red, and he suppressed the rest of his words.
"Stop talking nonsense, now let me ask you an answer. If I find out that you dare to deceive me, you know the consequences!"
Hu Qi Shekou opened slightly and spat out cold words.
Compared with the jerkiness before, his words are much smoother now, and his progress is astonishing.
Since Demonic Power was condensed.
He has entered the first level of spirit.
It is equivalent to refining the horizontal bone and can achieve Speak Human Tongue.
As for why he knows the language of this world, thanks to the Primordial Demon Refining Record in Rune Spirit Seed, the previous feedback information contains the content of this world's language.
"Yes, your Majesty, feel free to ask. As long as I know, please don't be impulsive."
The young man forced a smile and spoke.
He didn't know anything about monsters. He had also heard beautiful stories about the encounter between a scholar and a fox monster.
Or Huang Pizi is asking for a title, and all kinds of monsters harming people.
However, he used to think it was just a fictional story made up by scholars, but now he knows that monsters really exist in this world.
"What is this place? How far is the nearest city from here..."
Hu Qi continued to ask.
At this moment, although his voice was still low and hoarse, it no longer had that weird accent.
"The name of this place is Lu Mountain. It is named after the large number of wild deer in the mountains. I come from Duanteng Village, which is twenty miles away from the foot of the mountain. The nearest city to here is Taihu Prefecture, which is a hundred miles away..."
The young man quickly told everything he knew as if he were pouring beans, for fear that if he were slower, he would anger the other party and kill him.
From the young man's narration, Hu Qi had a general understanding of the area he was in.
This place is located in a place called Great Ye Dynasty.
The nearest city is Taihu Prefecture, a hundred miles away.
However, this young man is just a hunter. He has only been to Taihu Prefecture once and doesn't know much.
As for such things as immortal cultivators, this is even unheard of.
If I had to tell you, I had only heard of it through word of mouth among the elderly and stories told by storytellers in teahouses in the city.
After a long while, I got the answer I wanted.
A 'click' sound.
The black snake's body tightened slightly, and the sound of bone cracking could be heard instantly.
Before the young man could even beg for mercy, blood overflowed from his pores and his body fell limp.
A pair of eyes stared at Hu Qi.
"You..."
He opened his mouth to ask Hu Qi why he still wanted to kill him when he had clearly answered his question obediently.
But as soon as he uttered a word, a large amount of blood foam spurted out from his mouth and nose, which was extremely terrifying.
"When did I promise to let you go?"
Hu Qi opens.
Hear the words.
The young man opened his mouth, but after all, the injury was too serious and he couldn't hold on, completely losing his voice.
for.
Hu Qi just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
Swallowing someone is always a bit jarring, and the other person is just an ordinary person with too much filth on his body, so eating it may make him sick.
Maybe if he were a cultivator, he would be more interested.
Shaked his head.
Hu Qi's body wandered around, running over branches and making a slight sound.
Soon, he came to the rock and took a look at Ah Huang lying on the ground.
Ah Huang looked very miserable, with a lot of snake scales peeling off, but perhaps because of the nourishment of spiritual energy, the body was much larger than ordinary snakes, so it was not life-threatening.
At this time, a red snake head emerged from the water on the side. It was Ah Hong.
Before, Hu Qi quickly found this place following the auras emanating from the two bodies. Ah Hong was slower and only came here now.
After the two snakes arrived, Hu Qi took them away along the mountain stream.
According to what the young man said, if you go down this mountain stream, you can find the village and even go to Taihu Prefecture.
In ancient times, it was no more convenient to get water than in modern cities, with tap water supply.
Generally, villages and towns are not built too far away from water sources.
and.
Crops cannot grow without water.
Being close to water sources facilitates irrigation, ensuring water supply for farmland and increasing food production.
Time passes.
The dim setting sun hangs in the west, echoing the slender crescent moon on the opposite side.
As the sky grew dark, a village appeared ahead.
There are about forty or fifty households, and smoke is rising in the village.
The sound of barking dogs could be vaguely heard coming from it.
Hu Qi just glanced at it and didn't stay any longer.
He learned some information about this world from Primordial Demon Refining Record, but it was too general and he needed more detailed information.
It would be best to get a cultivation method from this world, whether it is Demonic Beasts or human.
So, there is no point in going to such a small village.
The goal of his trip is Taize Lake, which is eighty miles away.
According to what the young man said, Taize Lake has a vast area and many water veins and tributaries.
It even spreads throughout the Great Ye Dynasty.
It is extremely famous.
In such a huge area, there must be spirits in it.
Now that he has condensed Demonic Power, he can also try to contact the indigenous people of this world.
However, Hu Qi was not in a hurry and stopped and stopped along the way.
Hunting and breathing from time to time.
With his current size and Water Control talent, his hunting targets are no longer limited to fish and shrimp in the water.
Roe deer and hares on land also became his meal, and his food was greatly improved.
The lead-gray clouds fell slowly like a huge curtain, quietly sewing the wilderness and the sky together.
Raindrops as fine as cow hair fell one after another.
The raindrops fell on the ground covered with fallen leaves, quickly soaking the layers of dead leaves and making a subtle "rustling" sound.
Not far away, a meandering river flowed rapidly under the rain.
Carrying the dead branches and leaves, it moved forward all the way.
To the side, on top of a withered and bent branch.
There are a few jackdaws standing on it, motionless, looking like stone sculptures from a distance.
There is loneliness between heaven and earth.
suddenly.
The few jackdaws that were originally perched on the branches seemed to be frightened and flapped their wings that were wetted by the rain.
After flying at low altitude, it let out a few lonely cries and then disappeared into the hazy rain and fog.
A few seconds later.
In the rain and fog in the distance, there are two figures running towards this place one after the other.
Both are extremely fast.
In just a few breaths, it became clearer and clearer.
puff!
Just then.
The man behind him raised his hand, and a flash of fire suddenly appeared, directly hitting the hunched figure in the front.
Suddenly, a low roar like a beast sounded.
--roar!
When the firelight and rain and fog dissipated slightly, the outline of the figure at the front gradually became clear. It turned out to be a tall, rickety monkey monster with a back covered with hair.
To be more precise, this is a Mountain Ogre.
Its head was huge and misshapen, its forehead was low and tilted back, and its two eyes as big as copper bells were shining with a bloodthirsty red light.
It was a strange green-black color, and sharp fangs poked out from the corners of its mouth.
It was dressed in a worn-out human linen garment and made a hunting sound in the wind and rain.
If you don't pay attention, it's easy to mistake him for a person.
However, he looked a little miserable at the moment, and his hair was burnt black.
It's like being roasted by fire.
"Damn you old man, don't bully others too much."
It looked at the figure behind it.
His face was ferocious.
He actually opened his mouth to speak.
The man behind him is a thin old Daoist.
He was wearing a Daoist robe that had been washed white.
His old face was pockmarked, his cheekbones were slightly convex, and his eyes were sunken.
He looked at Mountain Ogre's body with eyes full of evil and greed.
Hear what Mountain Ogre said.
He snorted coldly.
"Deceit? You kidnapped the daughter of the Steward Li family and harmed the women of good families. You should be killed!"
Although I am a poor Daoist with little cultivation, I am responsible for eliminating demons and protecting the Tao.
Let me meet you today.
I want you to be wiped out in ashes and bring peace to the common people! "
While talking.
The old Daoist put his index finger into his mouth without hesitation, bit it hard, and bright red blood gushed out instantly.
He moved skillfully and smeared the blood from his fingertips on the ancient peach wood sword in his other hand.
In an instant, a strange scene happened.
A flame burned blazingly from the sword body. The flame was a strange blue color, and the flames jumped wildly, as if they were alive.
The raindrops fell and hit the flames of the burning sword, like a mud cow falling into the sea, without any impact on the flames.
Do it all.
Pockmarked Old Daoist looked a little pale and his body swayed, obviously he had consumed a lot of energy.
"Fart! I clearly love that little lady sincerely!"
Mountain Ogre's eyes were red.
"Shut up! You are such a sinful beast, and now you are still here with your eloquent words and trying to make excuses! I will do justice for God today and send you back to the west to die!"
Pockmarked Old Daoist snorted coldly.
He was holding a fire-burning peach wood sword, and his aura suddenly changed, with determination and fierceness in his eyes.
A sword stabbed straight in front of Mountain Ogre.
"Looking for death! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
See this.
Feeling the threat coming from Taomu Sword.
Mountain Ogre roared.
The ferocious nature in his body was completely aroused, and he no longer just ran away.
The figure rushed straight towards Lao Dao.
pity.
In terms of strength.
This Mountain Ogre is no match for the veteran in front of him.
In addition, this Mountain Ogre itself was seriously injured.
Just a few rounds down.
Then the old Daoist sword pierced his heart, and he fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness and resentment.
——Hoo ho!
Seeing this scene, Pockmarked Old Daoist pulled out his long sword, staggered a step, and struck the ground with the sword.
Panting heavily.
Killing this Mountain Ogre would take a lot of effort.
The True Qi on his body was almost completely exhausted, and all the talismans on his body were also consumed.
Fortunately, he spent a lot of money to buy these mid-range Magic Tools and Hundred-Year Peachwood Sword.
Otherwise, you might not be able to kill this Mountain Ogre.
As long as the blood and soul of his body are extracted and refined into Essence Spirit Pill, it will help him progress further in his cultivation.
Think about this.
He was ready to take action.
At this time.
Behind him, an evil wind suddenly hit him.
He didn't have time to react yet.
A black shadow suddenly fell on him.
Bang!
The next moment.
The air vibrates.
Rain fell all around.
Pockmarked Old Daoist On the surface of the body, an oval golden light mask flashed.
Then, like a mirror, it burst open.
at the same time.
The last yellow paper talisman originally attached to the clothes spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into ashes.
"Hmm, is it interesting?"
At this time, a low and hoarse voice sounded.
I saw.
A huge black snake that stood upright and was as big as a house was looking down at him with its Crimson snake eyes.
Feel the terrifying aura emanating from the black snake.
The old man's complexion instantly turned as pale as paper.
There was no time to think too much, and as he circulated the last ray of True Qi in his body, his figure jumped out and ran towards the distance.
However.
Just after running two steps, the water under his feet started to twist like a living thing.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into two thick ropes, tightly wrapping around his feet with lightning speed.
This time.
Pockmarked Old Daoist lost his balance and threw himself forward, falling heavily on the muddy ground.
See this scene.
Pockmarked Old Daoist's face became horrified and distorted.
It's magic!?
Could it be that the black snake in front of me is Great Demon at the Daoist level?
Think about this.
He had no intention of resisting at the moment.
"Don't kill me, I can give you whatever you want..."
Pockmarked Old Daoist looked at the black snake's big mouth that could easily swallow him, and his body trembled.
This performance surprised Black Snake, Hu Qi.
I originally thought that the other party was an upright and righteous person who treated the demon clan with hatred, so it would be a little difficult to pry open the other party's mouth.
But I didn't expect it to be so simple.
After a stick of incense.
Pockmarked Old Daoist turned into a cold corpse and was casually discarded aside.
And Hu Qi obtained a lot of information.
Such as the division of strength among extraordinary people in this world.
Among them, whether they are immortal cultivators or monsters, they are ranked from low to high.
They are divided into three major realms: Qi training, Dao foundation, and Yuan condensation.
Among them, Qi Refining Realm is divided into three small realms: Initial Sensing, gathering Qi and unblocking meridians.
Initial Sensing: Induced by Spiritual Energy, embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
Gather Qi: Gather Spiritual Energy and turn it into your own Qi. Immortal cultivators call it True Qi, while monsters call it Demonic Power.
Tongmai: running and accumulating enough True Qi (Demonic Power), running through the body Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
As for the situation of the two great realms of Daoji and Ningyuan in the future.
And after these realms, are there other realm divisions?
Pockmarked Old Daoist is not sure either.
After all, to put it bluntly, Pockmarked Old Daoist in front of me is just Late Stage of Qi Gathering.
Barely touching the threshold of Tongmai.
The strength is considered to be at the lowest level among immortal cultivators.
And he has no affiliation, he is just a Rogue Cultivator.
