Chapter 159 Shadow Python
After leaving Zi Yan's training room, Xiao Ling was just about to turn towards his room when he heard crisp and light footsteps outside the courtyard.
He stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see two beautiful girls, Qinglin and Xiao Yixian, slowly stepping into the courtyard with graceful lotus steps.
Their faces were filled with warm smiles, and when they saw Xiao Ling, they couldn't wait to step forward and greet him.
"Master!" "Xiao Ling!"
Xiao Ling also nodded, took them into the room, poured a few cups of tea, and started chatting.
During the pleasant conversation, Qing Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if she remembered something. She blinked her big eyes full of spirituality and asked curiously: "Master Xiao Ling, has Sister Xun'er left Canaan College?"
When Xiao Ling heard this, an indescribable emotion flashed across his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, nodded slightly, and answered calmly:
"Yes, Qinglin, Xun'er has left. Not long ago, the elders of her tribe came and took her back to the tribe. If you want to see her next time, I'm afraid you will have to go to the distant Zhongzhou."
Upon hearing the news, Qinglin and Xiao Yixian couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness on their faces.
Although they had only known Xun'er for a short time, they had already formed a deep friendship. Facing separation, they could not avoid feeling sad.
After a while, Xiao Yixian broke the silence and changed the subject: "This time during our expedition to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, we accidentally discovered a sixth-level Magical Beast."
After hearing this, Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Qing Lin and asked curiously, "Qing Lin, since you have discovered a sixth-level snake monster, why didn't you try to subdue it?"
Qing Lin smiled, turned his head away shyly, and replied: "Master Xiao Ling, didn't you promise me before that after your retreat is over, you would accompany me to capture a level six monster?"
"Also, my sister Xian'er and I have limited strength at the moment, so we haven't gone to investigate the details, and we can't tell what kind it is. We just sensed the aura of that snake-like monster, and it has reached the sixth level of monster."
After listening to Qinglin's explanation, Xiao Ling understood and smiled faintly.
He muttered to himself, with Yao Chen's strength, capturing a level six monster would be no problem.
Even if Yao Chen did not take action, the three-star Dou Wang Xiao Yixian, together with several fifth-level monsters tamed by Qing Lin, should be able to deal with the sixth-level monster without any problem.
Qinglin's move was just to find an opportunity to go out and play with him and enjoy the fun of adventure.
Naturally, Xiao Ling would not refuse such a request.
Therefore, Xiao Ling made a decisive decision: "Then let's set off and meet that sixth-level monster."
As soon as the words fell, several people packed their bags and headed towards the mysterious and dangerous Monster Mountains together.
……
The rising sun shines through the sparse clouds onto the rolling peaks of the Warcraft Mountains, painting this ancient and mysterious land golden.
In the mountains, ancient trees are towering and green, and various exotic flowers and plants emit a faint fragrance, which mixes with the morning air and makes people feel refreshed. The mountain streams are gurgling and winding, like a silver ribbon inlaid on the green hillside.
In this magnificent scenery, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin led Xiao Ling along a winding path towards their destination.
The little medical fairy was wearing a lavender long skirt, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind. Her long hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, making her look fresh and refined.
Qinglin was wearing a short green skirt with tiny scale patterns embroidered on it, which complemented her lively personality.
Xiao Ling followed behind the two girls, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment from time to time, alert to possible dangers.
The soul's perception ability always spreads around the few people, and any movement can be discovered in the first time.
He was wearing a black robe, with blue hair draped over his shoulders, and he looked heroic.
Their steps were steady and powerful, and although the mountain road was rugged, they walked on it as if it were flat ground.
"The forest ahead is the territory of the sixth-level monsters." Little Medical Fairy pointed to a dark forest not far away and said, with a hint of solemnity in her voice.
Qing Lin summoned several pet snakes, his eyes gleaming, "Master Xiao Ling, we are ready. It's up to you now."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, looking forward with a determined gaze: "We must proceed carefully and succeed in one fell swoop."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them quickened their pace and headed towards the lair of the sixth-level snake monster.
Xiao Ling and others stepped into the dark forest, as if they had entered a world isolated from the outside world.
The trees here are tall and ancient, with their crowns intertwined, almost blocking out the sky, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate this dense forest.
Not long after they walked, they felt a chilly breath blowing in their faces. The feeling was like a cold wind in winter, which made people involuntarily tighten their clothes.
There was silence all around, only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the silent air, seeming particularly clear.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes ahead.
The sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet forest. Everyone's heart tightened, and they immediately stopped and looked forward vigilantly.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out, like a flash of lightning in the dark night, instantly breaking the tranquility of the forest.
When everyone looked closely, they saw a huge python with a pitch-black body appear before their eyes.
Its body is slender and elegant, and the length of the python stretches over ten feet, like a smooth black line dancing in the forest.
Despite its huge size, its body is not thick and strong. Instead, it appears slender and powerful, like a sharp sword specially for stabbing.
This unique body shape allows it to move through the woods in an instant and launch deadly sneak attacks.
Those eyes flashed with a strange red light, like red lanterns at night, revealing a sense of evil and mystery.
The scales on its body sparkled with an icy luster, and each one was like a carefully polished black gem, extremely sharp, as if it could easily cut through any obstacles.
"This is... the Shadow Demon Python!" There was a hint of surprise and solemnity in Xiao Yixiang's voice.
The Shadow Python is an extremely rare sixth-order snake-like monster. They have a very high status among snake-like monsters. Because of their secretive whereabouts and unique abilities, they are known as "assassins in the dark night."
This magical beast can blend into the darkness, lurk and move silently, and launch surprise attacks. Its speed and power are so great that people are often caught off guard.
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and perked up a bit. He could feel that the strength of this Shadow Demon Python far exceeded that of an ordinary sixth-order magical beast. The pressure it exuded was comparable to that of a high-level Douhuang among humans.
With his combat power far exceeding that of his peers and the special characteristics brought by his race, he easily defeated the two old men, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma. Qing Lin quickly commanded several snake pets, which moved flexibly and surrounded the Shadow Demon Python in a fan shape, forming a tight encirclement.
The Little Medical Fairy also quietly prepared her own poison and traps. Her techniques were skillful and it was obvious that she had been prepared for this situation.
Xiao Ling walked up to the two women and flipped his hand. Along with the distortion of space, the Meteorite Weapon suddenly appeared in his palm.
This spear, which is an interweaving of space and fire attributes, is as deep as obsidian. The flame patterns on the spear move like a living thing, emitting a heart-pounding pressure, as if it can penetrate all obstacles.
Xiao Ling, who has reached the peak of Douhuang, can now slightly exert the power of the Meteorite Divine Weapon, and he also understands the nine changes of the Meteorite Divine Weapon.
It has to be said that the nine-fold form change of the Meteorite Weapon is indeed extremely powerful. In the same realm, in terms of lethality, perhaps only the Buddha's Wrath Lotus can be compared with it.
Without giving it any more thought, Xiao Ling perked up and focused his attention on the Shadow Python in front of him.
……
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, dappling onto the forest floor, creating a stark contrast to the dark surroundings.
The shadow python's red eyes looked even more eerie in the dim light. It swam slowly, as if looking for the best time to attack.
Xiao Ling stood in place, holding the Meteorite Weapon tightly in his hand. He calmly observed the Shadow Demon Python's every move.
Qinglin and Xiao Yixiang were also ready for battle, and the snake pets were ready to go under Qinglin's command.
Suddenly, the Shadow Python moved. It was so fast that it almost merged with the shadow, and instantly attacked Xiao Ling who was in the front.
However, Xiao Ling had already anticipated its move. He jumped lightly, and with a flash of lightning under his feet, he avoided the attack of the Shadow Demon Python.
After dodging the attack, Xiao Ling turned his wrist and the Meteoric Weapon, with a blazing flame, stabbed towards the demon python.
The python twisted its body flexibly to avoid the attack, and at the same time its tail swept across, bringing up a gust of wind that rustled the leaves.
Xiao Ling easily dodged the oncoming attack, raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered to himself in surprise:
"I underestimated this little snake. Its speed is quite good. It seems I need to be more serious."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ling had already activated Three Thousand Thunders, and his body was as fast as lightning, rushing towards the Shadow Python swiftly.
The Falling Divine Weapon was wrapped in fighting spirit, flashing with blazing light, like a burning torch, pointing directly at the vital points of the magic python.
The Shadow Python felt Xiao Ling's strength, and a hint of vigilance flashed in its eyes.
Its huge body began to twist, trying to avoid Xiao Ling's attack.
However, Xiao Ling's speed was so fast that he was like a meteor streaking through the sky, and in the blink of an eye he was close to the magic python.
Xiao Ling shouted loudly, and thrust out the Meteorite Weapon in his hand fiercely with an unstoppable momentum.
The Shadow Python opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black poisonous mist, trying to block Xiao Ling's attack.
Xiao Ling's fighting spirit exploded, forming a shield to isolate the poisonous fog. The Meteoric Divine Weapon pierced straight into the seven-inch point of the Shadow Demon Python, and it was about to hit it.
At this critical moment, the Shadow Python suddenly turned sideways and avoided the vital point. However, the Meteoric God Weapon still left a deep wound on its body.
The Shadow Python felt the pain and attacked Xiao Ling even more frantically. Xiao Ling dodged flexibly, looking for an opportunity to attack again.
The man and the python were in a stalemate for a moment. Xiao Ling's eyes focused and he decided to end the battle quickly.
After keeping some distance, Xiao Ling quickly formed a specific hand seal, activated the phantom dream shadow, and briefly controlled the magic python.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Ling shouted: "Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Finger!"
He just waved his fingers, powerful energy gathered instantly, and a huge golden finger shadow appeared out of thin air, suppressing the Shadow Python.
Qinglin and Xiao Yixian were also busy. Qinglin directed his snake pet to roam around, waiting for an opportunity to attack, while Xiao Yixian quickly set up several poison traps to prevent the Shadow Python from escaping.
The Shadow Python had just recovered from the illusion and felt the powerful force coming towards it. It wanted to dodge but it was too late.
The golden finger shadow smashed heavily on its head. It only had time to let out a painful roar before its eyes went dark, its body stiffened, and it fainted on the ground.
Seeing this, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian showed surprise on their faces. Xiao Yixian stepped forward and said, "Xiao Ling, this Shadow Demon Python is so powerful, but you still easily subdued it."
Her eyes were full of admiration, and she obviously had a deeper understanding of Xiao Ling's strength.
Xiao Ling put away the Falling God Weapon and smiled faintly: "Although it is powerful, it is not my opponent. Next, let Qinglin subdue this guy."
The confidence revealed in his words made Qinglin and Xiao Yixian feel at ease.
Hearing this, Qing Lin quickly stepped forward, her eyes flashing with strange light, and three green petals appeared. That was the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils.
The light from the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupils enveloped the Shadow Python. Under the influence of this light, the originally unconscious Shadow Python trembled slightly, as if making a final resistance.
But Qinglin's green snake three-flower pupil was powerful, and soon, the fierce light in the Shadow Demon Python's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of obedience.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Qinglin's forehead. It was obvious that it was not easy to subdue this sixth-level monster. But she gritted her teeth and continued to use the power of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils.
Finally, the Shadow Python calmed down completely, its head lowered, its body no longer tense, and a green mark appeared on its forehead, completely tamed by Qing Lin.
Qing Lin let out a long sigh, with a delighted smile on his face: "Master Xiao Ling, Sister Xiao Yixian, I succeeded!"
Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian came forward, and Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Qinglin, well done. With this Shadow Demon Python, your strength will be greatly improved."
The Little Medical Fairy also nodded approvingly: "Qinglin, your Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil is truly magical. With the help of this sixth-rank Dark Shadow Demonic Python, I am no match for you."
Qinglin smiled with a hint of shyness, "If it weren't for the help of the young master and the little medical fairy, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to tame the dark python. I am deeply grateful for this."
After a relaxed conversation, Xiao Ling suggested: "Since the Shadow Demon Python has been subdued by us, why not go to its cave together to explore the secrets, maybe there are some good treasures hidden there."
