Chapter 10: Venomous Snakes and Pythons
Jiangnan felt a stir in his heart and turned to look back, only to see a young girl in red darting through the mountains and forests with incredible speed. Rapidly approaching her was a giant python, measuring four to five zhang in length, with golden scales, lunging forward and opening its massive mouth to bite down at the girl in red
In contrast to the fierce clash with the bear demon just now, the battle between Jiangnan and the Golden-scaled Python by the mountain stream was characterized by a fluid and unpredictable engagement. As soon as the human and the python collided, each unleashed their lethal techniques, akin to the deadly strike of a venomous snake. After revealing their fangs, they would immediately retract, avoiding any unnecessary entanglement.
He rested for a moment, just about to rise and leave, when suddenly, a sound of fabric tearing through the air came from the other side of the mountain gorge, followed by the roar of a fierce beast, crashing through the forest
He slightly furrowed his brow. Over the past few days, he had been diligently practicing and had already reached the mid-stage of bone refining. This speed is indeed astonishing, but the body is the foundation of martial arts. Without a strong physique to support it, the expression of martial arts would be greatly limited.
This poisonous python is capable of striking both its head and tail; if one strikes the head, the tail will follow, and if one strikes the tail, the head will follow. If one strikes its body, both the head and tail will arrive simultaneously! This can be transformed into a profound martial art, integrated into the techniques of the Dragon and Tiger Strength Formula.
Hoo.
My Yang energy is too strong, and indeed I have become a delicacy in the eyes of these demonic beasts, each one eager to take a bite
"The Orion in front, quickly get out of the way!"
Meanwhile, the golden-scaled python hissed, opening its wide mouth to swallow the Jiangnan region
In the water, the giant python raised its head high, its head resembling a triangular branding iron, its eyes like the flickering flames of a candle, emitting a faint glow, fixed intently on the Jiangnan across the mountain gorge, as if gazing at a prey that was about to be captured
This woman, however, is kind-hearted and is not a bad person
He let out a low growl, reversing the Demon Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture. All 108,000 pores on his body opened, allowing his true energy to circulate and expel the venomous mist of the Golden-scaled Python from his pores. Immediately, his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, body, and mind all closed off, and the 108,000 pores transformed into tightly sealed gateways. With a movement of his body, he lunged towards the Golden-scaled Python
For example, the "River Moon Breaking Waves Technique" transforms into a great river flowing out of a deep valley, with the moon rising in the river, evoking a profound artistic conception. In contrast, the "Dragon, Tiger, and Elephant Strength Technique" manifests as a fierce battle scene among three mythical beasts: the dragon, tiger, and elephant. Additionally, the "Blood Transformation Divine Skill" depicts a sinister blood lake, while the "Thirteen Pounces of the Raccoon Cat" illustrates the agile pouncing of a raccoon cat.
The girl in the red dress hurriedly flew over, her toes lightly touching the water's surface in quick succession as she crossed the mountain stream. Her figure resembled that of a swift swallow, with flashes of sword light aimed directly at the golden-scaled python's eyes
However, his gains were also remarkably astonishing; the surface of the magic clock within him began to manifest martial arts imprints, no longer displaying various floating characters, but instead transforming into a series of patterns imprinted upon the black magic clock
The girl in the red dress exclaimed, "That hunter, the golden-scaled red-lined python is highly venomous, quickly hide!"
This large python is clearly an anomalous creature from the Falling Sunset Mountain, not hibernating like ordinary snakes and pythons. It is unknown why it was startled by that girl in red and emerged to prey on humans
The strength of the golden-scaled python is certainly not inferior to that of the bear demon, and may even surpass it. Its constricting power is astonishing; it can crush a tree that two people can embrace when ensnared by its tail. If one is caught by it, there is no escape, as it will only tighten its grip, leading to suffocation and the shattering of bones, resulting in death
Jiangnan suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his mind, a trace of dark energy appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but be startled: "What a powerful toxin!"
One person and one python quickly charged from the edge of the mountain stream into the adjacent forest. In the forest, the sound of dragon roars and python hisses filled the air, with toxic mist permeating the surroundings. Occasionally, a large tree would be uprooted and crash to the ground with a thunderous sound
I would like to see whether your snake is stronger or my dragon is stronger
This battle is even more arduous than the one against the bear demon, as the strength of the Golden-scaled Python far exceeds that of the bear demon, and its venom is even more potent. Even if Jiangnan were to close all the pores on his body, being hit by the venom would still result in poisoning
The offspring of prominent families such as the Qi Wang Mansion not only consume the flesh and blood of mythical beasts, but also partake in spiritual elixirs to enhance their physical attributes, cultivate true energy, and strengthen their mental awareness.
On this day, Jiangnan and Jiangxue ventured deep into Luoxia Mountain, where they encountered a demon tiger by the mountain stream. After enduring countless hardships, they finally managed to slay the beast. Jiangnan drank deeply from the demon's blood, feeling an immense energy contained within, which rapidly replenished his physical stamina, enhancing his physical condition beyond the ordinary. He thought to himself: "Although I cannot compare to the scions of the Qi family, my cultivation speed greatly surpasses theirs. If I were to engage them in battle, I could only rely on my cultivation level to suppress them. However, in a situation of equal realms, I would not be their match. How can I quickly enhance my physical condition..." He reflected: "Although I cannot compare to the scions of the Qi family, my cultivation speed greatly surpasses theirs. If I were to engage them in battle, I could only rely on my cultivation level to suppress them. However, in a situation of equal realms, I would not be their match. How can I quickly enhance my physical condition..."
From the form of this venomous python, Jiangnan can also grasp some techniques of the "Dragon's Transformations" in the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Power Technique, thereby enhancing the completeness of the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Power Technique
A gust of wind rushed towards me from the mouth of the golden-scaled red line python, carrying a strong stench of blood. Before the giant python even approached, it had already released a puff of toxic gas
"Zichuan, if you are unable to deal with such poison, feel free to speak up," Jiang Xue said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, leisurely addressing the matter on the shoulders of Jiangnan.
The venom of this golden-scaled python is extremely potent, even causing paralysis in his limbs and affecting his vital energy, which is nearly incapacitated by the toxic substance
The Jiangnan body technique suddenly transformed, with true energy surging violently. As his figure moved through the air, it emitted a deep, resonant dragon's roar. He moved like a swimming dragon, and in terms of momentum, he even overshadowed the golden-scaled python by a notch
The golden-scaled python raised its tail and struck fiercely. The young girl in red hurriedly swung her sword to block it, only to feel an immense force surge through her, causing her body to tremble violently and be sent flying. She twisted in mid-air and landed on a rock in the center of the ravine. The snake's tail swept towards her, and the girl could only desperately resist against the tail of the golden-scaled python.
Jiang Nan found himself in a rather amusing predicament; he finally understood why Jiang Xue claimed to be the Tang Seng meat in the eyes of the demon beasts. This golden-scaled red-line python had been pursuing the girl in red for quite some time, but upon seeing him, it immediately abandoned her. This was precisely because Jiang Nan's yang energy was so abundant that, in the eyes of the demon beasts, he appeared like a human-shaped torch.
With the addition of the Magic Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture, the realm of martial arts, and Jiangnan's own intelligence, he quickly grasped the key to detoxification. Once the toxins were expelled, his bodily functions returned to their peak state
However, the girl in the red dress was quite remarkable; at a critical moment, she twisted her body and narrowly slipped past the mouth of the giant python, evading this deadly strike
The ordinary妖兽 at the edge of Luoxia Mountain are no longer his opponents, and Jiangnan has also begun to gradually venture deeper into Luoxia Mountain in search of stronger妖兽. However, he would never dare to enter the deepest part of Luoxia Mountain.
This toxicity requires him to expend his vital energy to eliminate it, causing his vital energy to be in a state of constant and intense depletion
In the mountains of Luoxia, there are many妖物, among which there are even大妖 that can rival the strength of divine wheel experts. Even those like King Qi, who are divine wheel experts, do not dare to easily venture into this area. Given the current strength of Jiangnan, entering and *图*书 would be tantamount to seeking death
The highly toxic demon beast was encountered for the first time in Jiangnan, causing a heavy feeling in the heart
The girl in the red dress suddenly produced a soft sword in her hand. With a flick of her arm, the sword light shimmered and emitted a hissing sound, instantly shattering the large tree that had been swept aside.
The golden-scaled python swam into the mountain stream, and with a flick of its tail, it broke the surface of the water, sending two waves, each reaching a height of four to five feet, crashing outward, creating a terrifying spectacle
Demon Abyss Profound Embryo
Within this foul and putrid wind lies a potent toxicity. After inhaling just a single breath, he felt the vibrant energy within his body grow sluggish, its flow becoming obstructed. Even his limbs felt exceedingly heavy, making every movement a considerable challenge
During the battle with the Golden-scaled Python, Jiangnan gained a deeper and more thorough understanding of the character "Dragon" in the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Strength Technique. The venomous python, akin to a dragon, if able to continue its cultivation for a long time, will eventually shed its snake skin and transform into a venomous flood dragon.
The giant python missed its strike and immediately became furious. Its tail suddenly coiled around a tree as thick as a water barrel, uprooting it completely, and with a whoosh, it swept the tree towards the girl in red.
Only the sound of ding ding ding could be heard as the soft sword struck the great python, producing a series of sparks, and not even a single scale of the snake was pierced
This soft sword is exceptionally sharp, transforming in countless ways in the hands of the young girl. The sword's light is snow-white, moving in all directions like rain, slicing towards the golden-scaled python.
Dragons and snakes rise from the land
The opening of the "Moyu Xuantai Jing" states that ancestral teachings are insufficient as a standard and that the heavenly way is not to be feared. However, those in Jiangnan who practice this technique have discovered that it does not completely reject the methods of predecessors; rather, it can absorb the strengths of earlier practices, improve upon them, and transform them into one's own martial knowledge
In Jiangnan's eyes, a gleam flickered as he said in a low voice: "Sister, rest assured, I have said that you need not take action, and I will certainly not go back on my word!"
However, how precious and rare are the elixirs! Each elixir is worth a hundred gold pieces, and even the ordinary scions of the Qi royal family cannot afford to consume them daily
The golden-scaled python hissed loudly, suddenly releasing the girl in red, and swiftly swam away, heading straight for Jiangnan. It was extremely enraged, seemingly furious that this insignificant human dared to challenge it rather than waiting to be devoured by its jaws
It measures over 4 zhang in length, with a flat head held high, towering several heads above Jiangnan. Its vertically oriented pupils fixate intensely on Jiangnan, while its crimson tongue resembles a forked iron prong, flickering in and out, occasionally releasing a dense cloud of toxic mist that stirs up a fierce wind. In almost an instant, it swims to the opposite bank of the mountain stream, lunging towards Jiangnan
The golden-scaled python has a bright red fleshy crest on its head, with a red line extending from its back all the way to the tip of its tail, as crimson as blood
Jiangnan glanced over, and suddenly the golden-scaled red-line python noticed him. After a brief hesitation, it immediately abandoned the red-clad girl and lunged towards Jiangnan
The girl in the red dress saw a white fox crouching on Jiangnan's shoulder and a fierce tiger he was carrying. She thought he was a hunter who had entered the Falling Sunset Mountain to hunt. While dodging the pursuit of a giant python, she hurriedly said: "This golden-scaled red-line python is highly venomous; just a whiff of its toxic gas could take your life. Why aren't you leaving quickly?"
This is Jiangnan's profound understanding of these martial arts techniques, which has reached an exceptionally high realm, transforming into his own interpretation of martial arts, manifesting as a series of wondrous artistic conceptions, absorbed by the demonic bell
In recent days, Jiangnan has also consumed the blood and flesh of demon beasts, but compared to the treatment of these aristocratic youths, it is still far inferior. Moreover, as time goes on, the gap between him and these aristocratic youths will only continue to widen, rather than narrow.

For the demon beasts, it is undoubtedly a great tonic
