Chapter 66: Blood Horned Python

  Today is the third watch...

  This week's classification is strongly recommended, friends who like it, vote with all your might!

  Zhang Chong and others have already entered the depths of the You Shou mountain range, advancing nearly four hundred miles. From then on, they could no longer use their flying speed to travel.

  This place is where three-stage spiritual beasts appear and disappear frequently. Some of the spiritual beasts are extremely intelligent, they will weave a web to lure you into the traps they set.

  Also because of this, although they have already had the experience of killing three-stage spiritual beasts, they still cannot be rash and must be careful and cautious, advancing step by step.

  Within this short span of time in the morning, they were already slowly cruising about fifty miles away from the edge zone that Tu Ba had drawn.

  As a result, it was clear that they had killed four third-tier spirit beasts just this morning, while only one second-tier spirit beast was killed.

  The reason for this is that on the one hand, their coordination has become more and more sophisticated, and on the other hand, it also shows that in this place, third-order spiritual beasts are actually more numerous than second-order spiritual beasts.

  "It seems that this time we will have the greatest harvest." Lin Ye said with a loud laugh.

  This time the hunt lasted for a week, and now they have had an excellent start, which cannot but make them feel delighted.

  Just then, a series of anguished wails echoed through the dense forest, growing louder and closer, apparently heading in their direction.

  Zhang Chong, Liu Sheng and Lin Ye exchanged a glance, then Lin Ye flew up to the top of the big tree, while Zhang Chong and Liu Sheng hid in the woods on either side.

  A wild boar the size of three adults came running over, its four hooves glowing red, and under its extremely fast running, it was as if it was stepping on flames.

  "It's [Earth Fire Pig]~~~" Lin Ye reminded cautiously.

  And that "Earth Fire Pig" seemed to have received an extreme fright, recklessly fleeing at a speed that had apparently reached its limit.

  Just as he rushed up to the three people, Lin Ye made the first move. He dived down from the big tree, and the flying knife in his hand shot out extremely quickly.

  In the midst of a rain of knives, all directions that the [Earth Fire Boar] was heading were blocked. The [Earth Fire Boar] clearly did not expect to be intercepted by someone and in its great shock, it tried to suddenly stop but could not. In the midst of its loud roar, it had already been hit by two flying knives.

  And its speed was also almost zero in an instant.

  At this moment, Liu Sheng rushed out like lightning, two steps at a time, and had already charged to the front of the Earth Fire Pig. In front of him, black mist swirled around his long spear.

  The steadily-shaped [Earth Fire Pig] unexpectedly lost its footing due to Liu Sheng's domain power, and with a slight stumble, both of its front legs buckled, causing it to kneel down on the ground.

  All that could be heard was a few "whooshing" sounds, and Liu Sheng had already shot towards the five senses of [Earth Fire Pig] at a speed as swift as lightning.

  In an instant, the five senses seemed to be stabbed at the same time, and they all flowed out with fresh blood. At its throat, there was a big wound that was exposed there.

  The [Earth Fire Boar] let out a mournful cry, without any room for counterattack, and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

  Zhang Chongli stood by, this battle was won too easily, and it also made him have no chance to make a move.

  Lin Ye also jumped onto the ground at this time, looking at the [Earth Fire Pig] and said:

  "It's actually this easy to kill a third-rank Earth Fire Boar?"

  Obviously, the [Earth Fire Boar] did not resist at all, which also made his heart feel extremely surprised. And at this time, Liu Sheng had already walked to the back of the [Earth Fire Boar], pointing to a place and saying,

  "This [Earth Fire Pig] had already suffered extremely severe injuries before we met, otherwise it wouldn't have run so frantically and recklessly, allowing us to pick up such a cheap bargain."

  Zhang Chong and Lin Ye saw Liu Sheng say this, so they also walked to the back of the "Earth Fire Pig". Indeed, on its back, there was a very frightening wound, which was prominently visible. The wound in that place was several times larger than the one Liu Sheng had left on its throat.

  In this way, it's not hard to imagine why the "Earth Fire Pig" would suddenly burst into a frantic sprint. As for why it fled here and was killed with one blow, that can also be explained.

  Lin Ye carefully examined the wound on [Di Hu Zhu]'s body, trying to determine which spiritual beast had inflicted it. After distinguishing the wound and the scratch marks beside it, he slowly said,

  "It is a fifth-tier spirit beast 【Bloodhorn Anaconda】."

  The five-stage spiritual beast, Zhang Chong and Liu Sheng were both shocked in their hearts. But Lin Ye continued to say,

  "This wound, judging from its shape, is very likely to have been inflicted by the Blood Horn of the Blood Horned Python. If the Blood Horned Python were to attack the Earth Fire Boar, it would be impossible for the boar to escape its blow, let alone run all the way here."

  It can be seen that it should be these three products [Earth Fire Pig] to find the trouble of [Blood Horned Python], which was heavily injured and fled. And with the strength of the third stage of [Earth Fire Pig], it would not have provoked this fifth-stage spiritual beast, and after being injured, the speed of [Blood Horned Python] is much faster than that of [Earth Fire Pig]. It should have been caught up and killed. But such a strange situation appears, I think there can only be one reason."

  "Oh, what's the reason." Zhang Chong and Liu Sheng, seeing Lin Ye's analysis was thorough, couldn't help but have an interest in pursuing the question further.

  Rumor has it that the "Blood Horned Python" possesses an extraordinary ability to locate the whereabouts of the "Hundred Spirit Mushroom", which takes a thousand years to mature. Once discovered, the Blood Horned Python will guard it closely, not allowing anyone else to approach.

  Its rhythmic breathing can accelerate the growth cycle of Lingzhi, making its maturation speed increase by a hundredfold. If it were to consume Lingzhi, this Blood Horned Python would have an extremely high chance of breaking through and becoming a sixth-stage spiritual beast.

  However, the cost of accelerating the maturation of Lingzhi is that in the last three months before Lingzhi matures, the strength of Xuejiao Dabo will plummet.

  "So, I guess this Earth Fire Boar must have been spying for a long time and thought the timing was ripe to snatch the Hundred Spirit Mushroom. However, due to the huge gap in strength, it ended up getting injured by the Blood Horned Python. But for the safety of the Hundred Spirit Mushroom, the Blood Horned Python didn't dare to continue chasing this Earth Fire Boar either. As a result, it fled here and was killed by us."

  Lin Ye said this sentence and then added another one,

  "For us cultivators, even if we encounter an immature Lingzhi, it's still far superior to a fifth-grade spiritual herb." As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them exchanged a glance with great tacit understanding, and then said in unison:

  "We're going to find out about this Blood Corner Anaconda."

  Several people's minds were surprisingly consistent, and they couldn't help but smile at each other as they cleaned up the corpse of the "Earth Fire Pig". Afterwards, they followed the trail left behind by the "Earth Fire Pig" and began to search patiently.

  In less than half an hour, they caught a whiff of something foul-smelling.

  "Be careful, ahead is the range where the 【Blood Corner Anaconda】 resides." Lin Ye said softly after which the three of them stuffed the 【Clear Mind Grass】into their mouths and noses.

  The aura of the Bloodhorn Anaconda contains extremely potent toxins, and if one is exposed to it for too long, they will start to feel dizzy. Moreover, this aura also exerts a subtle influence on the surroundings, marking this area as the Bloodhorn Anaconda's territory. The mere presence of this aura is enough to cause fourth-grade spiritual beasts to retreat from afar without even realizing why.

  The three of them held their breath and slowly moved forward, and as the atmosphere grew thicker, they finally saw a small opening in front of them. At the entrance, there were several obvious bloodstains that still had a fresh color to them.

  These bloodstains clearly indicate that the attack on Di Huo Zhu just took place here.

  Three people kept shifting their positions, trying to get a clear view of the cave entrance.

  At last, they found a patch of dazzling white more than ten steps away from the entrance of the cave.
