Chapter 128: Shark Tears (21)
The giant python's weak appearance doesn't look like it's injured, but like it's gone through some calamity...
Feng Nuan was thinking whether to ask Mu Xi to come in and help him, but saw the giant python suddenly move its body and crawl to the depths.
At this moment, there was a backward pulling force on the waist, dragging Feng Nuo backward...
Feng Chao: ...
After going out, Feng Nuo saw Mu Xi and Xiaoxiao waiting outside, and Ajun hadn't come out yet...
Mu Xi glanced at the rope around Feng Rong's waist, and retracted it: "Has anyone touched the profound energy on it?"
Feng Chao told Mu Xi about the scene inside the door just now, and seeing that Mu Xi also took back Xiao Xiao's rope, she asked, "But have you found the land of the Styx?"
"On the banks of the River Styx, the flowers that lead the way to hell - Manzhushahua - are blooming, and there are giant pythons guarding them..." Mu Xi looked at Feng Nuo and smiled lightly.
If what Feng Chao said is true, then the road ahead will be much easier...
After being reminded by Mu Xi, Feng Nuo suddenly realized and murmured, "I was so frightened by that giant python that I forgot..."
"Why hasn't Ah Jun come out yet?" Xiaoxiao looked at the door that Ah Jun entered, and was a little worried about Ah Jun's safety.
Looking at the time, half a stick of incense has passed, and it hasn't come out yet, something is really wrong.
Mu Xi walked to Xiaoxiao's side and tied the rope again: "Go and look for it. If you encounter danger, you must pull the rope and come back first!"
Xiaoxiao nodded, without saying a word, she plunged into the door that Ah Jun just entered...
"Let's go too..." After Mu Xi finished speaking, she walked into the door that Feng Nuo had just walked out of...
In the land of the Styx River, white light shines through the dark blue light, forming ribbons in the air, illuminating the path under the feet of Mu Xi and Feng Chao.
The giant python didn't live on the boulder like just now, no one knew where it went, the two could only be careful to prevent the giant python from sneaking up on it.
The Styx River flows from east to west, and the blooming manjusawa on the riverside flexes its body flexibly, which is more coquettish than the manjusawa blooms seen along the way.
The two walked to the bank of the Styx River smoothly. Feng Chao leaned forward, looked at the Styx River glowing with mysterious light as transparent as a mirror, and reflected his own reflection: "Can the water of this Styx River be helpful for cultivation?"
"That's natural. It is the Styx River that produces the Duyou grass that can cure all kinds of poisons."
Mu Xi clasped her hands behind her back, looking at Feng Nuo's curious expression, she unconsciously raised her eyebrows.
Feng Nuo stretched out his hand, wanting to feel the mysterious power in the River Styx, when he saw ripples appearing on the surface of the River Styx.
Afterwards, a huge wave rose from the center of the Styx River, and Mu Xi saw something jumping out of the water, so she quickly reached out to lift Feng Zhen up and protect her behind her.
A huge black python rose up from the water. The black python raised its neck and stood in the river. It was directly above half the sky. The water droplets on its body shone under the reflection of the mysterious light.
Mu Xi and Feng Chao didn't have time to dodge, the water of the Styx River poured down like a waterfall, drenching them into drowned chickens.
The giant python was very dissatisfied with the disturbance of the two, looked down at the two small men on the riverside, and said angrily: "You little baby, why haven't you left the land of the Styx yet?"
Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Feng Rong shrank his neck and said hesitatingly: "I...I..."
"Senior, this junior has something to ask for!" Mu Xi hid Feng Chao behind her, and said with respect in her words, "This junior needs the solitary grass in the Styx River to save people's lives, and I hope I can get senior help…"
"Senior?" When the giant python heard Mu Xi calling him, he lowered his body and saw Mu Xi's appearance clearly: "It turned out to be a sea snake that transformed into a dragon..."
Mu Xi lowered her head slightly, cupped her hands and said, "Exactly, when it comes to genealogy, Mu Xi should call you senior!"
"Mu Xi?" The giant python moved its body and gradually lowered its body into the water, leaving only its head in the air looking down at the two of them: "Are you Mu Xi?"
"senior…"
"Old man Mu's son really won't lose to him, hahahahaha..."
The giant python raised its head and screamed, but Mu Xi lowered her head and dared not make a sound.
"However, I can't give you this Duyoucao...I still need them..."
Mu Xi lowered her head, and from the corner of her eye she saw that the black scales on the giant python's body seemed to be falling off, so she guessed one or two, and asked: "Senior is experiencing the pain of shedding its skin for a hundred years..."
A creature like a snake would shed its old skin in a hundred years, and after giving birth to a new skin, its profound strength would break through a step, and it would not be able to avoid the pain of shedding its skin until it soared to become a god.
And the process of molting the monster snake's skin is very painful, and it needs the nourishment of the place of profound strength to complete the moulting.
The giant python in front of him was in the period of blockade, so he was unwilling to make a move and let Feng Chao go.
Hearing Mu Xi's question, the giant python became vigilant and warned: "So what, even if you don't have any cultivation, it will be easy to deal with you two little babies!"
The giant python was right. Even with his self-proclaimed cultivation level, he could fight ten Mu Xi at the same time. Mu Xi knew this and could not anger the giant python with words. Mu Xi could only say respectfully: "Senior, I misunderstood. This junior has a way to avoid the pain of molting this month..."
"Oh? Tell me?"
"There is a snake-shaped grass in the Styx River. Its name is Ying, which was acquired by my father in the early days..." After speaking, Mu Xi spread her hands, and a brocade wooden square box appeared in her hand, and continued: "My father refined the baby into a pill. ...I think it is enough for seniors to use it a few times..."
Looking at the brocade box in Mu Xi's hand, tears flashed in the giant python's eyes: "This brocade box was given to you by your father?"
"My father's relic..."
"The relic? Has the old man gone?" The giant python seemed to have heard some shocking words, its body stood upright again, and another wave was set off, pouring down on the heads of Mu Xi and Feng Zuo.
Mu Xi lowered her eyebrows, sighed and said: "Father traveled in ten thousand realms in order to find an old friend. He accidentally encountered a thunderbolt, couldn't dodge it, and died in the ancient Youshan. When I went looking for it, I saw this brocade. box, clutched in father's claws..."
The giant python leaned over and opened its mouth wide in front of Mu Xi, Mu Xi didn't need to say much about the usefulness of the baby, the giant python also knew that the two brothers separated to find the baby.
Mu Xi opened the brocade box, took out a pill, and put it in the mouth of the giant python.
I saw the giant python swallowing the baby, twisting its body in the air, and then the black scales revealed a white mysterious light, turning into dust from the giant python at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than half a stick of incense, the giant python sank into the Styx River. After a moment, a mysterious light shot out of the water and stopped in front of Mu Xi.
The mysterious light dissipated, and an old man appeared in front of Mu Xi and Feng Chao holding three Duyoucao trees glowing with green light: "I'll give you the Duyoucao, and leave the brocade box to me..."
The old man was dressed in a blue robe, with white hair scattered around his waist. When he spoke, the words in his mouth stretched and retracted, and he was full of monsters.
Mu Xi stared at the old man in a daze. The old man in front of her was an old man whom her father had been looking for for many years.
Mu Xi's expression was complicated, she didn't know what to do for a while, she just knelt on the ground, choked up and said, "Uncle Xuanming..."
The old man known as Uncle Xuan Ming nodded and helped Mu Xi up: "Get up quickly..."
Mu Xi didn't expect her father to meet someone in the land of the Styx who had been searching for thousands of years without success, so she quickly asked about the past: "Master, what happened back then?"
This question has been bothering him since Mu Xi could remember. In his memory, his father was always traveling around the world, looking for an old man, so he even gave up his chance to practice. However, his father never told him about it in detail. He was only shown the portrait of the person he was looking for, and told him that the person was his uncle named Xuan Ming...
