Chapter 44: Beheading
Of course, Zhang Zheng had no idea that such a big drama had happened after she left. She had already entered the Mysterious Insect Ridge at this moment.
The mist that permeates the Insect Ridge may be a hindrance to mortals, but to monks with excellent eyesight it is nothing.
However, this mist actually has certain restrictions on the spiritual consciousness. The range of the hundred-mile divine consciousness in the foundation period is less than ten miles at most, which is reduced by ten times.
According to records in the collection of monsters and monsters, the beheaded eagle snake likes dampness and often lives in humid places in the north of mountains and south of water.
This Mysterious Insect Ridge has been shrouded in miasma all year round, and the sun has never been seen. Almost everywhere is a dank place. It is difficult to find traces of Zhanwei. We can only look for a water source and get lucky.
Staying vigilant, Zhang Zheng followed the direction of the heavy water vapor in the air.
"clang--"
A crisp sound of metal hitting the ground suddenly sounded, which seemed particularly abrupt and strange in this dark and dark place covered with dense jungles.
The fire stick appeared instantly, and Zhang Zheng held it tightly and hid it behind him, activating the invisibility charm, and Li Shi hid behind a tree.
The fire talisman was pointed in the direction of the sound. Tall shrubs and vegetation blocked the view, and only a faint sound could be heard.
The voice became clearer and clearer, and it seemed like a small team was coming towards her.
The female voice was charming, but it looked like she was complaining, but she was actually friendly, "It's all my fault, my second brother, for having to leave from this shabby place. My hairpin fell to the ground and got dirty."
"Look how distressed we are, Binghe, you have to apologize."
Nan Binghe sounded helpless and smiled fondly: "Okay, okay, when we get back, the second brother will use Jiaojiao's favorite lotus seed hairpin to apologize."
The first female voice, also known as Jiaojiao, said with satisfaction: "Second brother is the best."
It was not for him. Zhang Zheng felt relieved, but he still held his breath and concentrated, planning to wait until a few people left before appearing again.
After a breath, three figures appeared, one man and two women. They were both handsome and beautiful, with extraordinary temperament.
Zhang Zheng's expression froze when she touched several people. Two of them couldn't see their cultivation levels at all, which meant that their cultivation levels were higher than hers, and more than one level higher. The other one was practicing with her.
To be quite.
Zhang Zheng suddenly felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, he was vigilant and bought a second-level high-quality hidden breath charm that could not be seen through by anyone below the Golden Core level.
The three of them had a leisurely posture, as if they were strolling in a garden, as if this dangerous and dangerous Mysterious Insect Ridge was nothing to them.
Jiaojiao ran two steps to another woman, took her arm, pouted her red lips, and swayed coquettishly.
"Sister, where exactly is the Son of Destiny that the messenger asked us to find? It's been two days, and not even a shadow has been seen."
The woman who was called eldest sister had a gentle and dignified expression, and replied with a slight smile: "Since she is the son of destiny, how can she be so easy to find?"
"But there's no need to worry, Jiaojiao. With the guidance of the messenger, you will always find it."
Zhang Zheng waited until their figures had completely disappeared. After waiting for another quarter of an hour and seeing no movement, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But, what kind of messenger are they talking about? Who is the Son of Destiny?
Temporarily suppressing her doubts, Zhang Zheng continued to follow the water vapor. The most important thing about her trip was to find the beheaded tail.
Avoid other troubles if you can.
Five days later, Zhang Zheng finally found a water source, which was a shallow stream. The water was calm and occasionally a few black and white fish surfaced.
Zhang Zheng held her breath and hid behind the thick tree trunk, staring intently at the protruding rocks in the stream.
The river stone was dark and rough, with a black snake coiled on it, as thick as a human waist. If the two gray-black eagle wings on the snake's body were not too abrupt, it would have been almost integrated with the river stone, making it difficult to detect.
It is the beheaded eagle snake that Zhang Zheng is looking for.
This beheaded eagle snake is a second-level low-level monster, equivalent to a monk in the early stage of foundation building. However, its body is strong and its water properties are excellent. In this stream, it is like a tiger entering the deep forest and taking to the water like a fish.
Zhang Zheng didn't dare to fight with others on their territory, so he was at the disadvantage.
Therefore, I had to hide and watch, waiting for the beheaded eagle snake to leave the stream to look for food before taking action.
This wait lasted another two days.
The beheaded eagle snake finally moved. It twisted its body and slid from the river rocks into the water. The next moment it climbed onto the bank.
The scarlet snake hissed, as if to detect the smell, and then burrowed into the forest in one direction.
Zhang Zheng hurriedly moved her body to keep up, falling half a step behind and always paying attention to the movement around her.
The beheaded eagle snake suddenly stopped, leaned down, clung to the ground, and swam silently toward the cave.
The cave was about half a person's height, and Zhang Zheng felt the weak life fluctuations leaking out of the cave, carrying a slight aura of fire.
This should be one of the beheaded eagle snake's favorite foods - the young of the red-bellied snake.
We are both snakes, why should we suffer from each other?
But this is the world of cultivation. The life-and-death game between uncivilized monsters and beasts competing for food is more cruel and bad than that of monks.
What's more, the beheaded eagle snake has an eagle in its name, which is a strange species of snake. It loves to feed on snakes, and even when the tail is beheaded, it is a predator of the jungle, devouring each other.
The beheaded eagle snake will have a digestion period after eating, and its combat power will be greatly weakened.
Zhang Zheng then had time to wait outside the cave, waiting to take advantage of the snake's danger and capture it in one fell swoop.
In about one stick of incense, the faint breath of life in the cave completely disappeared.
The beheaded eagle snake feasted on its meal and swam out of the cave satiated.
It also knows that it will become weaker during the digestion period, so it flutters its wings slightly and speeds up to escape back to its territory.
At this moment, a spiritual prison descended from the sky and enveloped the beheaded eagle and snake.
The beheaded eagle snake was imprisoned and became furious, screaming and twisting its body wildly.
The thick snake body hit the spiritual prison, and the fire splashed and crackled. The snake's scales were burnt and shiny, and became charred and dull.
The Tailed Eagle Snake was desperate and didn't care about the pain on his body. Under the violent impact, the spiritual prison was on the verge of collapse and collapsed instantly.
Zhang Zheng's figure has been exposed. After escaping from the trap, Zhang Zheng's eyes flashed fiercely, and he opened his huge mouth and rushed towards her.
Zhang Zheng was not in a hurry, he jumped up and suddenly appeared above the head of the snake with a beheaded tail. He held up the fire stick with both hands and knocked down the seven inches of the snake.
"Bang——"
A loud noise caused the birds to flap their feathers and flee.
Seeing the body of the tail-decapitated eagle snake that instantly collapsed, Zhang Zheng stood in mid-air in disbelief, observing carefully for a moment, and just to be on the safe side, he struck twice again.
Then, she landed in front of the beheaded eagle snake, picked up its thick snake body that had no signs of life, and threw it into the storage bag.
This is such a good baby!
She had seen records of how hard the Tailed Eagle Snake's body was in the collection of monsters. It was comparable to the hardness of a second-level high-grade magic weapon.
He was actually beaten to death by a fire stick like this.
Zhang Zheng's eyes shone brightly, and she gently caressed the dark fire stick in her hand. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful it became, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
She was really ignorant before.
After sighing, Zhang Zheng immediately turned around and ran away. After experiencing such a big commotion here, there was no guarantee that other monsters would be attracted.
If the owner of the cave came back and saw that all his children were gone, he would be so angry that he would cause trouble for himself.
After all, the red-bellied snake can cultivate up to the third level of monster beast, which is comparable to the golden elixir stage of human cultivation.
