Chapter 6, The Ancient Village in the Desolate Mountains
The man in traditional attire let out a cold laugh, offering no response
At the moment this man appeared, Li Daoxuan felt a chill run down his back, and goosebumps rose all over his body
Li Daoxuan's entire body was tense
Li Daoxuan's heart suddenly lifted, and he quietly peeked out to take a glance.
That is not correct either; the people of Xiaosha Village do not know where he intends to go
... ...
Having said that, he suddenly rushed into the cave, transforming his entire body into a snake, measuring nearly ten zhang in length, and opened his gaping maw...
However, in the next moment
Li Daoxuan stepped onto the narrow path, and his figure was soon enveloped by the mist, disappearing without a trace
So, little mouse, are you willing to become a part of me
This Taoist, who could kill his fifth brother and summon heavenly thunder, actually... escaped
At least dying would be more dignified
Fighting the snake demon is undoubtedly fatal, so it is better to take a gamble ahead!
Like a bat demon, capable of walking upright, with a face that has human contours, it is already quite formidable, and Li Daoxuan almost couldn't handle it
How can there be lights in the mountains and fields
The starlight tonight is already dim, and with the lush vegetation in the mountains, Li Daoxuan, who is running, is almost completely immersed in darkness
Li Daoxuan found himself in a dilemma. However, when he faintly heard the sound of a rattlesnake behind him, he gritted his teeth and chose to step onto the narrow path, running towards the village
I caught a mouse, and I will not kill it immediately; instead, I will let it go, watching it struggle and its fearful and anxious demeanor, which will only excite me further
Moreover, it appears strange from every angle, exuding an inexplicable eerie atmosphere
Li Daoxuan witnessed an extremely terrifying scene
He noticed that the young man in white attire was dressed in splendid clothing, and amidst the desolate mountains and wilderness, his white shoes had not picked up a speck of dust.
The cave was empty and desolate, with only the lingering scent of Li Daoxuan still hanging in the air
Under the moonlight, Li Daoxuan moved like a specter, each step covering several zhang. Neither the steep cliffs nor the thorny brambles could hinder his progress
Fortunately, after channeling magic into my eyes, I can barely see a bit more clearly
He does not believe that he can defeat this terrifying snake demon now, for it is known that the higher the cultivation of a monster, the more it resembles a human.
Hehe, having entered the territory of that person from the picture book, you little mouse will only meet a more humiliating end
His cultivation is far beyond what the bat demon can compare to
Without even chewing, he swallowed it down just like that, his throat stretched wide like an elephant's leg. Li Daoxuan truly wondered if it would burst.
The only way out is to escape
One could only see that the person's mouth kept widening, even the nose split open and transformed into an oral cavity, the entire mouth became as large as a barrel, swallowing the whole roasted chicken in one bite
In a moment of daze, it seems I can still hear the sound of the serpent demon slithering, along with the noise of its tail.
Li Daoxuan's heart sank, and he angrily said: "You snake demon, you truly go too far. Do you really think that I, Daoist Master, cannot kill you?"
Parting the grass and branches, Li Daoxuan saw a narrow path ahead, which led to a dimly lit village
The man in traditional attire had blood-red pupils and spoke each word clearly: "Why did you kill my fifth brother?"
The man in traditional attire reached out to take the roasted chicken from Li Daoxuan's hand, stretched his neck to sniff it, revealing a hint of ecstasy, and then...
The snake demon was momentarily taken aback
Not long after, the sound of the rattlesnake reemerged, accompanied by the sound of a python slithering outside
Li swiftly turned around, taking a step as he activated the Shrinking Earth Technique, his body flickering and already drifting far away, his movements seamless and highly skilled
Continuously operating the Shrinking Earth Divine Movement, he had already consumed more than half of his magical power, but Li Daoxuan had a strong intuition that he still had not shaken off that snake demon
The flames seemed to have turned cold, losing their heat
Later, I caught it again. The little mouse pleaded for mercy, begging to become my subordinate. Seeing its fearful eyes, I suddenly felt a surge of compassion
Moments later, the serpent demon also arrived here, gazing at the village shrouded in mist, a hint of apprehension appearing in his eyes
Just as Li Daoxuan was hesitating whether to continue fleeing, he suddenly noticed what seemed to be lights coming from a distance
He did not know how long he had been running, his body drenched in sweat, and his heart pounding like a drum.
He was getting closer to the cave where Li Daoxuan was hiding, and the scarlet snake's tongue flickered in and out, clearly very excited
Could it be that someone from Xiaosha Village has leaked information
The man in traditional attire sat beside the bonfire, and the once steady flames began to flicker, causing the fire to diminish significantly.
Having spoken, Li Daoxuan formed the Five Thunder Talisman with his hands, establishing the harmonious diagram of the thunder seal.
... ...
The serpent demon spoke from outside
I guess you must be thinking that I let the mouse go, haha, but in fact, I swallowed it whole, making it a part of my body. This is my greatest gift to it
Li Daoxuan did not know how long he had been running, when he caught a glimpse of a small cave from the corner of his eye. He immediately hid inside, curling up his body and trying his best to hold his breath
Transforming back into a man in traditional Chinese attire, he let out a cold snort and said: "By a stroke of misfortune, you have unexpectedly entered the territory of that individual. What a pity, I was unable to personally savor the flavor of the Taoist."
The serpent demon seems to possess a means to track his location. Since escape is not an option, it would be better to fight with our backs against the wall.
A trace of despair surged within Li Daoxuan, accompanied by an impulse to stop and fight to the bitter end.
Before I had transformed into a human form, I greatly enjoyed playing a certain game
After wandering for a long time, he still did not enter the village
A dark cloud swiftly floated up in the sky
But he could no longer manage so much, instinctively running towards the direction of the light. After about a quarter of an hour, the light grew brighter and brighter, a dark red glow, thick like blood
Such speed would astonish ordinary people when they see it, elevating it to the status of a divine phenomenon. However, at this moment, this divine being appears flustered and is drenched in sweat
This serpent demon not only resembles a human in appearance but can also communicate verbally, articulating clearly, which is truly terrifying
The village was shrouded in a layer of thin mist, and the red light that had previously attracted Li Daoxuan pierced through the mist and shone out.
The serpent demon's pupils narrowed, and the Taoist capable of summoning heavenly thunder should not be underestimated
He gazed at Li Daoxuan, and suddenly a loud noise erupted around him; it was the sound of a rattlesnake shaking its tail, a signal of impending attack
Li Daoxuan truly cannot understand how this snake demon managed to catch up to him
He saw the small cave, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth
... ...
How could such a village suddenly appear amidst the desolate mountains and wilderness
In the wilderness, a man slowly traverses the landscape, and it is indeed the elegantly dressed gentleman; however, what is shocking is that his feet have transformed into serpentine tails, making a sound as he walks.
However, in fact, the man in the traditional Chinese attire swallowed it down easily. He licked his tongue and said, "Not bad craftsmanship, but..."
Li Daoxuan swallowed and said, "Well, you must not be full, right? If not, shall I help you catch another chicken?"
