Chapter 700: Destroy the Snake Cave and Open up the Mountain Road
A mountain range in the northwest has endless dense forests, hiding many wild beasts such as human-like snakes and bears, which are endless to kill. Li Changxiao has entered the forest several times and cleared the evil spirits in the forest, but they were reborn soon after.
The human-like snakes, bears and other strange beasts all have a human face. The human-like snakes have a human head and a snake body, while the bears have a human face hidden in the flesh and blood of the abdomen. Only when the stomach is opened can it be seen.
Some are transformed from humans, and some are transformed from beasts. Li Changxiao didn't care at first, because there were too many wild beasts with strange behaviors.
But when he rescued Qing Chunhua, he suddenly thought that the ability of the human-like snakes to assimilate different species was really extraordinary. He guessed that this kind of human-faced beast might have a greater origin. He also remembered that Danta Cong had refined ten great evil pills, which looked like ten ferocious beasts. One of the evil pills had a strange aura, and it was vaguely similar to the human-faced beasts such as the human-like snakes.
He tried to draw out its breath to see how the beasts would react. Sure enough, the beasts surrendered. Li Changxiao guessed that the "human head" might have sneaked into Fuyao Tianxia and done evil in secret, but after thinking deeply, he felt that it was unlikely. The Ten Evils sneaked into Fuyao Tianxia, and Li Xundao and other great masters would not be unaware of it, but it seems that the human-headed beasts here must have more or less hidden connections.
With this thought, Li Changxiao released his spiritual sense and scanned it inside and out. The coverage was so wide that it almost covered the entire northwest dense forest. However, no strange traces were found.
Not surprisingly, he had scanned it several times before and found nothing unusual.
…
Since he had encountered it, Li Changxiao had to investigate it. As a cultivator, he received the grace of heaven and earth. Li Changxiao had a high level of cultivation, so he had to take on part of the responsibility of heaven and earth. He didn't say that he would sacrifice himself for justice and die for justice, but he couldn't ignore the rampant beasts and not do anything to deal with them.
He jumped into the forest, frowning and thinking, and suddenly saw a human-like snake. It poked its head out and said, "Young man, are you lost?"
Li Changxiao looked sideways, and the human-like snake hid behind a tree, only half of its face was exposed. A quick glance showed that it was not bad-looking, with regular features, and it was a woman.
The human-like snake appeared in the forest, always hiding behind the tree, only showing its face, and chatting with passers-by. There are two purposes, one is assimilation, and the other is eating. Once you respond, you will gradually be assimilated. This ability is quite special and it is difficult for ordinary mortals to prevent it.
A blue light flashed in Li Changxiao's eyes, and the human-like snake was suddenly startled, shrouded in dreams, and completely unconscious, only controlled by Li Changxiao in dreams.
It twisted its snake body and crawled deep into the forest. Li Changxiao followed closely behind it.
In the past, Li Changxiao went into the forest to clear the evil spirits, without saying a word, and killed them with a sword, just wanting to kill them all as soon as possible. But this time Li Changxiao changed his strategy and decided to manipulate dreams and conduct an in-depth investigation.
Looking at the back of the snake-learning person, Li Changxiao knew that the other party was really a miserable person. When he manipulated the other party's dream, he saw through her transformation into a snake. She was a courtesan who moved ten miles away. She was born with a charming appearance. She eloped with her lover and accidentally entered the deep forest and met the snake-learning person.
Her lover was eaten by the snakes, and she turned into a snake. She had no choice but to be a tiger's accomplice, hiding in the forest, not seeing the sun, and using her good looks to talk to passers-by and seduce them.
Once you turn into a snake, no matter how great your ability was before, you can't help yourself.
After walking for about dozens of miles, they came to a dilapidated temple.
Li Changxiao's long sword gently pierced through the body of the snake-learning person. The snake-learning person collapsed to the ground, and his life passed quickly. Before he died completely, he saw the man in white step into the temple.
The temple was filled with a foul smell, and an evil elephant stood deep inside. The whole temple seemed dilapidated, but in fact it had an extraordinary structure. It matched the terrain of the mountains and rivers, and could deflect the divine consciousness.
In today's world, the divine consciousness is really restricted. Li Changxiao had previously scanned with his divine consciousness, but he had never found the temple here. He observed again and saw that the evil elephant was a beast with a human head.
As soon as Li Changxiao entered the evil temple, there were thousands of heads sticking out, which was very creepy. There were bones left on the ground, some human bones, and some human-like snake bones.
Obviously, human-like snakes often lead people to the temple and eat them together, but this dense forest is rampant because of the strange beasts, and sometimes there are very few pedestrians. When food is scarce, they will also eat each other. Li Changxiao waved his hand lightly, and thousands of human-headed beasts died in an instant. Li Changxiao came to the human-headed beast-like elephant and looked at it carefully.
He saw the human head part, which was very strange. He looked into the eyes of the man's face. He felt a mysterious force trying to assimilate him.
Li Changxiao was not afraid at all, and did not resist. He let the mysterious force cover his whole body. But no matter what, it was difficult to shake Li Changxiao. No matter how powerful the strange force was, it was always difficult to invade Li Changxiao's body.
Li Changxiao thought to himself: "The source of the human-headed beasts in this dense forest is probably here. Although I killed many beasts before, I have never found this place. If a mortal passes by and looks at this evil elephant, he will turn into a snake. After that, one will spread to ten, and ten will spread to a hundred. Soon, there will be more human-headed beasts."
He felt relieved. Although he didn't know who placed this evil elephant, it was still within his ability. If the Ten Evils really came to Fuyao Tianxia, Li Changxiao would have to ask the Mahayana Patriarch.
He took out his long sword and ground the elephant with a human head and a beast body into powder. He felt uneasy, so he used the thunder spell to completely flatten the place.
Li Changxiao still did not leave. He went deep into the forest and uprooted all the evil elephant temples in one fell swoop, leaving no one behind.
It took three days and three nights to wipe out a total of thirteen strange temples.
…
The northwest has returned to peace. Since the evil temple was eradicated, the human-snake anomaly has really calmed down. Li Changxiao runs an inn, and he has nothing to do, so he wants to open up a mountain road in the northwest. The road is easy to walk on, and there will be more pedestrians. Then the business of Laiqu Inn may be better.
So when there are no guests in the inn, Li Changxiao goes to the mountain with a sword to dig a road and plow a relatively straight road. This is a big project, but Li Changxiao's magic is very sophisticated. It only took more than ten days to open it completely, and it didn't seem to be artificially dug, but it seemed to be naturally formed.
After the path was opened, although Laiqu Inn is located in a remote area, there is one more road connected to the outside world, and the number of guests coming and going in front of the door has gradually increased.
There are all over the world.
