Chapter 115 First Hearing of Snake Man
by SurroundedbyBooksAfter pondering for a few breaths, Bu Gong took a deep breath, and the magic power in his body began to flow slowly. After calming his mind, he looked at Zhou Wen who was standing in front of him with his back bent.
“How long have you been in this small world inside the dragon python’s belly?”
Zhou Wen, who was sitting in front with his head down, thinking about something, suddenly heard Bu Gong ask this, and said casually: “Brother Bu, we entered this small world half a year ago, but we separated after about a month.”
“Oh? You entered this place half a year ago?” Bu Gong’s mind flickered after hearing this. His eyes flashed, and he continued to ask, “How did you find the small world inside this dragon python?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “After we entered the dragon python’s body, we followed Senior Brother Nian for about five months, and then he brought us here.”
After saying that, Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment and continued, “He said that he wanted to find a rare object in the small world inside this dragon python’s body. That rare object will be of great use to him. Let us help him search for clues about the ‘snake man’ inside.”
“Looking for a rare object? I also asked you to search for clues about the snake man in here?” Upon hearing this, Bu Gong’s brows gradually frowned.
“Boy, it seems that the other party has the same goal as you; looking for clues about the snake man? Humph, that sounds good, but I’m afraid they are also planning to get this dragon python demon pill.” Just as Bu Gong was concentrating in thought, the evil spirit in his mind suddenly snorted coldly and said.
Hearing the evil spirit say this suddenly, Bu Gong’s eyelids drooped slightly: “Are you saying that Nian Xin Dao is also coming for the demon pill of this dragon python?”
“Hey… otherwise why would he let others look for the whereabouts of the snake man? The demon pill of the seven-winged dragon python is in the small world inside its body, in the very center of the snake man’s living place,” said the evil spirit with a sinister smile.
When Bu Gong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately understood.
After a moment of contemplation, Bu Gong’s mind raced with thoughts: If that person could know that there was a demon pill in this small world within the python’s belly, what about the people from the other two sects?
What’s more, Zhou Wen in front of us said that he was chased into this foggy area by three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect. Presumably, the Divine Sword Sect was not willing to fall behind!
Thinking of this, Bu Gong’s heart became a little heavy.
Bu Gong raised his head slightly, looked at Zhou Wen, who was standing quietly with his back bent, and said, “Are you saying that when you first entered this small world, it was Nian Xin Dao who brought you here?”
Zhou Wen was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard Bu Gong ask this, then nodded and said, “Yes, Senior Brother Nian should have a map in his hand, but that is just the general route inside the dragon python’s body. As for the map of this small world, he should not have it.”
Hearing Zhou Wen say this, Bu Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this was what he was worried about, and in fact, he was right. You know, if the other party really had a map of this small world, why would they let them disperse to look for clues about the snake man?
“call”
At this time, Bu Gong let out a light breath; at the same time, his eyes suddenly became firm, and even had a bit of sharpness in them.
He turned his head and glanced around, and all he saw was darkness; due to the thick clouds and fog, with Bu Gong’s current level of cultivation, his vision was only about ten feet away.
“Let’s just stay by the small lake tonight and move on at dawn.” After carefully sensing for a moment, Bu Gong suddenly spoke.
At this moment, the range of his spiritual sense was severely shortened, almost by half; and the area he could see was only more than ten feet, so it was not suitable to continue moving forward.
Of course Zhou Wen didn’t dare to refuse, and then followed Bu Gong back to the small lake.
For some unknown reason, the clouds and fog near this small lake are lighter than those in other places; coupled with the constantly rolling water surface, it slightly alleviates the oppression in the dark fog.
The two of them each found a slightly higher place beside the small lake, sat down cross-legged, and then entered a state of recuperation and meditation.
He gradually entered a state of meditation, closed his eyes, carefully sensed the changes in his body, and from time to time chatted with the evil spirit in his sea of consciousness.
It’s true, since the acupoints in his body transformed to five times, Bu Gong vaguely felt that his physique was very different from before.
The difference was not a simple increase in physical strength, but it was as if his entire body had undergone a baptism of transformation, giving him an indescribable feeling of clarity and transparency throughout his body.
It seems that there is a greater affinity with the immortal energy between heaven and earth.
In this way, several hours passed in a flash.
The darkness that originally enveloped the entire foggy area was slowly forced back under the bright rays of light in the sky.
Similarly, the clouds swirling in the air gradually descended as the darkness retreated.
In the misty land, behind a huge rock several feet high, next to a clear lake, in the misty clouds, there are two figures sitting quietly, only more than ten feet apart.
The two red and white figures sitting quietly cross-legged were Bu Gong and Zhou Wen, who had been in meditation by the small lake for a whole night.
…
The huge rocks stand tall, the small lake remains, and the clouds and mist are floating; this scene gives people a dreamlike feeling.
However, at a certain moment, Bu Gong, who was in a state of meditation at the edge of the lake, suddenly changed his expression, and the clouds and mist slowly swirling around him also began to churn slightly.
“laugh”
Suddenly, Bu Gong’s eyes, which had just been closed, opened in an instant; then two purple rays of light, which were between real and fake, burst out from his eyes.
Wherever the two purple beams of light passed, the clouds and mist retreated; until the two rays of purple light shot into the small lake in front, causing ripples on the water, and then they completely dissipated.
However, Bu Gong, who woke up abruptly, did not stand up immediately, but turned his head and looked in a certain direction of the cloud and mist surrounding him.
His gaze was deep and clear, as if it could penetrate the layers of clouds and see into the horizon.
As this happened, Bu Gong’s brows furrowed slightly in a few breaths.
Because within the coverage of his spiritual sense, he sensed that someone was approaching him.
And the direction of approach was very clear, which was the direction of the small lake where he was now.
After a brief pause, Bu Gong turned his head; when he stood up, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhou Wen, who was also sitting quietly not far from him.
Then a thought suddenly struck him: “Could it be the three Corpse Puppet Sect disciples who came here to track down Zhou Wen?”
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Bu Gong’s eyes gradually became clear: “It must be them, since the other party has also chased into this foggy area, then the people who came must be them without a doubt; I guess those three people must have some magic weapon that can track breaths.”
You know, it’s already daybreak, and the fog in the sky is gradually receding, only reaching the waist of a person; so if Bu Gong’s spiritual sense is fully deployed, he can easily detect the range of a hundred feet around him.
Naturally, as long as someone approaches within a hundred feet of him, Bu Gong will naturally notice it.
At this time, Zhou Wen, who was not far away, seemed to have sensed Bu Gong’s breath and woke up from his meditation.
But he didn’t notice anything unusual. Obviously, he didn’t sense that anyone was approaching him.
Zhou Wen slowly opened his eyes and saw Bu Gong standing at the edge of the small lake in front of him with his hands behind his back. He immediately stood up, tidied himself up a little, and came behind Bu Gong and asked respectfully.
In response, Bu Gong did not look back; after a while, a faint voice came from Bu Gong’s mouth: “The three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect who chased you yesterday should have caught up with you.”
When Zhou Wen suddenly heard Bu Gong say this, his calm face suddenly changed and his expression began to change instantly.
Zhou Wen’s situation was not because he was worried about what the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect who were chasing him would do to him.
Because he had seen with his own eyes that Bu Gong’s strength of piercing through a huge rock several feet high with one finger must have shown that he was already a cultivator at the Yuan-seeking Realm; even if those three people caught up with him, Bu Gong would definitely be there to block them, after all, the two of them were from the same sect.
On the contrary, the person Zhou Wen was worried about was Bu Gong; because last night when he told Bu Gong about the process of the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect chasing him, he had tampered with the incident of his plotting against Liu Min.
He deliberately fabricated the story that Liu Min was murdered in order to save him. At that time, he was thinking that even if Bu Gong might meet the three disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect and Liu Min in the future, it seemed that Liu Min had been refined into a puppet by then and had no independent thinking consciousness.
So she would definitely not tell anyone about Zhou Wen’s plot against her at that time. This was what Zhou Wen was thinking at the time; you must know that the people of the Corpse Puppet Sect are all cruel and ruthless. Anyone who falls into their hands will definitely not survive for more than three days.
But although he had planned very cleverly in his mind, Bu Gong’s words just now made his heart sink instantly.
“The other party has caught up with us? How is that possible? In this foggy area, even a cultivator who has reached the Half-Step Yuan Realm can only extend his spiritual sense beyond four or five feet. How could they catch up with us so quickly?” Zhou Wen was already panicking at this moment.
In fact, the three major sects of immortal cultivation, Xianyang Sect, Shenjian Sect, and Shikui Sect, all have very strict regulations: fellow disciples must not kill or plot against each other while they are away from home, otherwise they will be severely punished.
Zhou Wen knew very well that this “severe punishment” meant abolishing all his cultivation and being demoted to a mortal. For a cultivator, this would definitely be more painful than killing him.
So at this moment, Zhou Wen was secretly anxious; he was afraid that Bu Gong would know the truth and attack him directly.
Bu Gong, who was standing with his back to Zhou Wen, had long been aware of Zhou Wen’s condition. After all, with his current level of cultivation and spiritual awareness, he would be able to detect any disturbance in the mind of a cultivator like Zhou Wen.
However, although Bu Gong noticed Zhou Wen’s condition at this time, he did not turn around to ask immediately; instead, he still stood there in a daze with his hands behind his back, staring at the small lake in front of him with indifferent eyes, as if something in the lake was attracting him.
…
“Hehe… Senior Brother Gong, it seems that guy hasn’t noticed we’ve caught up to him yet; he hasn’t moved since last night, and is now only sixty or seventy feet away from us.”
In the foggy area, about sixty feet away from Bu Palace, a young man in a dark robe stared at a small black disc in his hand and smiled sinisterly.
“Oh? Is it only sixty or seventy feet away?” In front of the young man holding the small black disc, with his back to him, stood a tall and burly man with a rough face.
I saw this burly man called Senior Brother Gong, looking far ahead with a fierce look in his eyes. His lips were slightly drawn together, revealing his sharp teeth, which flashed with a hint of cruelty and blood.
