The fairy is fierce

Zuo Lingquan was wrapped in pink petals, stuck close behind Sister Yingying, and smashed into the ground using the Earth Escape Technique.

After more than ten feet into the ground, the dark red poisonous mist raging behind was completely cut off by the ground.

Although this place is a barren mountain, the underground structure is extremely delicate, with a large number of special rocks forming barriers that isolate the underground atmosphere.

After Zuo Lingquan passed through the rock formation, he felt a wave of aura coming from the depths of the ground. The strength was different and chaotic, as if there was a bustling city below, but not a single aura belonged to a living person.

Cui Yingying used her magic skills to clear the way, her mature and beautiful cheeks lost a third of their color, but her expression remained as usual, solemn and majestic, like a strong aunt protecting her junior.

Sensing the chaos in the underground aura, Cui Yingying slowed down. The first words she spoke were not to remind her of the situation below, but to lecture her slightly displeasedly:

"You brat, why do you dare to do something in any situation? A group of juniors were watching below just now, how do you want me to explain to the juniors?"

Zuo Lingquan paid attention to the situation underground and did not sense any particularly strong demonic energy. He breathed a sigh of relief:

"I saw sister Yingying being beaten by a snake. I didn't pay attention to anything else and rushed towards her..."

"What do you mean I was beaten?"

Cui Yingying looked back at Zuo Lingquan with dissatisfaction in her eyes:

"What can a black snake that has run out of oil do to me? I can't deal with a monster that you can kill with just one sword? It's obviously your own blind courtesy..."

Zuo Lingquan nodded: "Yes, yes, it's me who is being extravagantly courteous."

"What's your tone?" Cui Yingying stared.

"Haha..." Zuo Lingquan smiled a little. While sneaking into the ground, he hugged Sister Yingying's shoulders and said softly:

"Sister Yingying is a pharmacist. If the martial arts cultivator around you is not dead, you should not be allowed to take the lead. I ran out to help to play my role, not because I thought Sister Yingying couldn't beat her. Afterwards, touching Sister Yingying's face was pure. I was a little carried away in the spring breeze, forgetting the occasion..."

When Cui Yingying heard this, the displeasure in her eyes subsided slightly.

She just knew that Zuo Lingquan was in front of him. Zuo Lingquan jumped out with a sword and killed the mysterious snake. She was very excited when she saw it, but naturally she couldn't express these feelings in front of Zuo Lingquan.

Cui Yingying naturally couldn't pretend she didn't notice being hugged by her shoulders, and squeezed her gently with her shoulders:

"Be honest, you're itchy again, aren't you? I haven't dealt with what happened just now..."

"This place is quite strange. I'm a little scared. I hold Sister Yingying in my arms to keep me calm."

"Are you scared?"

"Um."

Zuo Lingquan looked nervous.

"..."

Cui Yingying didn't know what to say. There was no one around and she immediately arrived underground. She didn't bother to care about it anymore. She led Zuo Lingquan through the stratum and came to the underground space.

Zuo Lingquan originally thought that the underground was a natural cave or mine, but when he emerged from the zenith of the underground space, the scene he saw surprised him.

The underground space is very large. Viewed from above, it is a square platform. On the platform, you can see the ancient formation patterns that have lasted for a long time. The words are human characters, but the handwriting does not look like it was carved with a knife or a pen.

In the middle of the platform is an old well with a coiled snake. The well's mouth is three feet in diameter. The spiritual energy is so rich that it can be seen with the naked eye, showing a light black color. Not surprisingly, it is the source of Shajiang's spiritual veins.

The platform was not clean. It was densely covered with twisted and twisted snakes. The small ones were only two fingers long and the large ones were nearly ten feet long. They covered an entire layer. It was estimated that there were hundreds of thousands of them, but there were no formed monsters.

The edge of the platform is surrounded by a river, and there are piles of snake skins, snake scales and other debris inside, as well as some human and animal bones. There is no smell, but a strange fragrance. The stone walls of the underground space are filled with caves. There are also countless snakes hanging, which look extremely scary under the green light, and it is unknown where they lead.

Zuo Lingquan hovered in mid-air, his hand left Sister Yingying's shoulder, and he frowned and glanced around:

"Is this the lair of the big snake up there?"

Cui Yingying carefully observed the formation patterns on the platform and shook her head:

"No, this is the place where Xuan Snake practices and reproduces. It is considered an altar. The hole in the wall leads to the monster's lair. The larger snake monsters have all run away. The remaining ones are ordinary small snakes, even monsters. If you don’t have sex, you only know how to mate…”

Cui Yingying said that her expression was a bit strange and she looked away.

Zuo Lingquan carefully looked at the stone platform and discovered that tens of thousands of snakes were entangled together, obviously doing something natural in accordance with the laws of heaven.

There are old rules in the secular world. It is unlucky to see snakes mating. Zuo Lingquan moved his eyes to the surroundings and smelled:

"What does this smell like? It's quite fragrant."

Cui Yingying also smelled it, then her eyes changed, and she raised her hand to cover Zuo Lingquan's mouth and nose:

"Are you seeking death? You dare to smell it in the demon clan's lair. This is the body fluid secreted by the lustful snake. It is extremely poisonous. Hurry and stick to the heart lake of Qifu. Don't let the poisonous gas attack your heart and mess up your mind. I don't have time to detoxify you. ”

?

Zuo Lingquan didn't feel the poison. After all, ordinary snakes could survive here, so how could he be poisoned to death.

However, seeing how serious Sister Yingying was, he quickly mobilized his inner energy, suppressed the inexplicable heat in his heart, and asked:

"What should I do with this place?"

"Burn."

Cui Yingying flew to somewhere on the edge of the platform and motioned to the three corpses below:

"These should be the few monks who disappeared in Tuofeng Ridge a few days ago. All the snakes here have eaten human flesh. In the future, they will become monsters. The chance of being kind to others is slim, and they will cause endless troubles."

Zuo Lingquan looked at the bottom of the river and saw that the three corpses were still wearing clothes and protective gear. One of them was wearing a Taoist ancestral badge, but his body had turned into white bones, with small snakes coming in and out of the seven orifices; the hands and feet of the corpse were nailed to the stone. The edge of the stage was probably thrown here specifically to feed the snakes.

Zuo Lingquan frowned, didn't say anything more, raised his hand to make a seal, and burned the snake cave with fire.

Cui Yingying's expression was not normal, and the dark red marks on her hands were a bit darker, so she hid them in her sleeves and did not help, but just stood aside and warned.

boom--

Although Zuo Lingquan was not good at fire magic, he had refined his natal fire, and the power of his magic spells was still terrifying. In an instant, the platform was turned into a sea of ​​fire, and bursts of burning smell could be heard.

As he started to move, several ferocious auras came from the depths of the cave riddled with holes in the stone wall.

Zuo Lingquan sensed murderous intent and looked at the cave on the stone wall:

"It seems that there are still monsters underground that haven't escaped."

Cui Yingying glanced at the stone wall and said in a deep voice:

"There's no point in just killing these little snakes. There are snake demons hiding in the lair. If you want to kill them, you have to kill them all and go find them."

Cui Yingying followed the direction of the breath and looked for traces of the monster, but when she moved, even though she tried her best to maintain a natural appearance, her movements were still very stiff.

Zuo Lingquan was not injured. He was slightly shocked when he saw this. He quickly came to Cui Yingying and took Cui Yingying's hand to check. He saw that her body was bitingly cold, and a cold air was raging in her meridians, causing a layer of frost on the surface of her skin. Thin frost.

Cui Yingying quickly put away her hand, frowned and said: "I told you I'm fine...kill the little demon first.

Zuo Lingquan felt that Sister Yingying was forcing herself in front of him. The Jade Level Demon's snake venom was something that could not be dealt with easily.

Seeing that Sister Yingying seemed to be unable to suppress the snake venom, Zuo Lingquan still had the intention to chase the little demon, so he quickly picked her up and flew to the ground.

"What are you doing holding me? I'm really fine."

Cui Yingying broke away from her arms, pretending that "everything is under my control", and wanted to continue chasing the monster, but Zuo Lingquan disobeyed, and forcefully hugged her and quickly came to the surface.

At this time, on the surface of the earth, Jingxun washed the entire mountain with flames. The snake body of Xuanyin Snake Ancestor was roasted with fragrance. Shangguan Baxue and others had been driven dozens of miles away by the fire and snake venom. Outside.

Tuanzi is helping Jingxun set fire to the mountain, while Qiutao is standing on the ground, sensing the situation underground.

The two of them broke out of the ground, and Xie Qiutao ran over quickly and found that Sister Yingying's face was frosty. No, there was indeed a thin layer of frost on her cheeks. The cold was so cold that it was difficult to get close. Her expression changed:

"Sister Yingying, are you poisoned?"

"It's just a little poison, it's harmless."

"Is this still young?"

On the other side, the dumplings who were grilling the big snake saw that the nanny Yingying was almost frozen into popsicles. They quickly flew over and landed in Cui Yingying's arms to warm her hands.

Zuo Lingquan didn't know the extent of Sister Yingying's injury, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he flew down next to Jing Xun:

"Jingxun, can ancestor come over now?"

Although the distance was relatively far, Cui Yingying still heard clearly. She was about to say: "Don't call her, I told you I'm fine."

But before he spoke, Jing Xun, who was fanning the flames, already responded:

"The damn mother-in-law said that Sister Yingying is fine and there is no need to worry."

"Oh, that's good..."

What?

Why am I okay?

Didn't you see that I was frozen like this?

Cui Yingying was very angry at this statement. What was even more annoying was that Zuo Lingquan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Shangguan Ancestor said!

Outsiders say I'm fine, but you think I'm really fine?

Are you such a man?

But it was difficult to say these words. Cui Yingying stood there feeling a little aggrieved.

Fortunately, the Shangguan Patriarch was just angry at his best friend who was trying to show off, so there was no way he could really ignore her.

Tang Jingxun negotiated a few words in his mind and then continued:

"My mother-in-law asked you and Qiu Tao to go underground first to clear out the weeds, and I will take care of Sister Yingying."

With the ancestor here, Zuo Lingquan was not worried about the safety of Jingxun and Yingying. He nodded immediately, took out a lot of the pills prepared in Linglong Pavilion, put them in Jingxun's arms, and then went with Qiu Tao Sneak into the Snake Cave again.

Cui Yingying originally wanted to follow, but the cold poison raging in her body really needed time to resolve, so she didn't try to be brave and just reminded:

"Zuo Lingquan, the depth of the ground is unknown. Remember not to pursue him too deeply. No one can protect you without me."

"Understood, I have always acted steadily."

"Sister Yingying, don't worry. If Young Master Zuo is not steady, I will help him stay steady."

"Um?"

…

Cui Yingying didn't believe Zuo Lingquan at all, but she was quite relieved about Qiu Tao, who was 'the first to escape'. She didn't give any more instructions and just threw the dumplings in her arms that were almost freezing.

When the two of them disappeared from the surface, Cui Yingying's calm expression immediately dissipated, revealing a bit of fatigue, and her body swayed twice.

Tang Jingxuan ran over with a bunch of pills in his arms and supported Sister Yingying's body with one hand. He found that her soft and boneless waist was almost frozen, and said nervously:

"Sister Yingying, you..."

"Don't worry, I just need to take a rest."

Cui Yingying was still able to maintain her popularity in front of Zuo Lingquan, but she lost her motivation as soon as Zuo Lingquan left.

She summoned the suspended attic and placed it on the scorched earth of the mountain. She walked slowly into the door, but her steps became slower and slower. When she reached the bedroom on the third floor, she stopped and closed her eyes.

Tang Jingxun was not a doctor. Seeing this scene, she was naturally anxious. She carried Sister Yingying, who was frozen into an ice sculpture, into the bedroom and asked in her heart:

"Dead woman, are you in charge of the matter? Sister Yingying is frozen like this, why don't you come to treat her?"

Ancestor Shangguan responded calmly: "She likes to die for face and suffer in life. I don't necessarily want me to help even if I come here. Besides, it's just a little snake venom. She can bear it and nothing will happen."

Jingxun laid the frozen Sister Yingying flat on the bed , covered her with a blanket:

"How should I take care of her? I can't just stand there and watch, can I?"

"The black snake is extremely cold and yin, and poisoned people will suffer from damage to their essence, blood and qi. Your physique is different from that of ordinary people, and it is extremely strong and yang. Just hold her to warm her body, and give her some qi-replenishing and essence-replenishing pills. She will be back to normal in no time."

Jing Yan followed the instructions and lay on the bed, holding the plump Yingying sister in her arms. The cold feeling made her shrink her neck.

Jingxun glanced at Sister Yingying who was close at hand, and saw that her frown had slightly relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to herself:

"Xiao Zuo should do this. It feels weird for two women to hug each other."

"He's dreaming."

"Hmm?"

"I mean, he is water-loving and his body belongs to Yin. He will feel colder if he is hugged. He can't do this."

"Oh..."

Jingxun nodded half-believingly. Treating the injury was the most important thing. He didn't think much about this. He took out a lot of pills and put them beside the bed, asking:

"What pills should I take now? The healing pills are probably useless..."

Jingxun has been practicing for so long that he can recognize ordinary pills and know how to use them, but the realm of Taohua Zunzhu is too high. Most of the pills he eats are just "sugar beans" and have little effect, so he doesn't know what to feed him.

Patriarch Shangguan was silent for a moment, probably checking through Jingxun's eyes, and then he said:

"Guyuan Dan will do, there are also Huanyang Dan, Shengyuan Dan and the like, as long as there are the words "yuan" and "yang", they are all elixirs for nourishing essence and strengthening the essence."

"Oh..."

Tang Jingxun searched through a pile of elixir boxes and asked again:

"How much should I take?"

"She has a strong physique and is very strenuous, so feed her as much as you can."

"Really..."

Tang Jingxun nodded slightly, picked out the elixir, and fed it into the mouth of Taohua Zunzhu. After feeding two pills, she picked up a beautifully decorated pill box and looked at it carefully:

"Longyang Pill... Can this thing be eaten?"

"Well... You can give it to her if you want."

"What do you mean I want to give it to her? I'm asking for your opinion. If you don't allow me to eat it, how dare I feed it?"

"People who practice cultivation should have their own opinions. Everything is decided by me. Then you and Lingye will be jealous of each other in the future. I will ask you to back down. Do you listen?"

"..."

Tang Jingxuan was too lazy to say more to this woman. Anyway, if it really can't be eaten, the woman will definitely not let her feed it randomly. After thinking about it, she opened the pill box...

-----

At the same time, underground.

The raging fire swept through the snake cave, turning the huge platform into purgatory. The entrenched venomous snakes had long turned into ashes, and even the surrounding waterways were dried, revealing the snake scales and bones under the water.

Xie Qiutao, carrying the iron pipa, fell into the underground space with Tuanzi. Zuo Lingquan walked in front, alert to the surroundings.

Thick smoke billowed in the underground space, but the smell was not pungent, but rather carried the aroma of roasted snakes; Tuanzi had just been hungry for the roasted snakes, and now that his mother was not around, he became bolder and wanted to fly down to find a few snakes that were not burnt clean to fill his stomach.

Unfortunately, Zuo Lingquan immediately hugged Tuanzi back and shook his head and said:

"These snakes have eaten human flesh, they are unclean and cannot be eaten."

"Ji?"

Tuanzi looked a little innocent, spreading his little wings, meaning roughly - big crabs can't be eaten, big snakes can't be eaten, and small snakes can't be eaten, so the birds came in vain?

Zuo Lingquan took out a small dried fish to fill Tuanzi's hunger, and was about to sense the surrounding caves when he suddenly heard Qiu Tao beside him say:

"It smells so good, no wonder Tuanzi is so greedy."

The strange fragrance in the snake cave came from the river around the platform. At this time, the river was steamed dry, and the fragrance even overwhelmed the burnt smell.

Just as Zuo Lingquan wanted to smell it, he remembered the reminder of the Peach Blossom Lord, and quickly covered Qiu Tao's mouth and nose:

"Don't smell it randomly, it's highly poisonous."

"Woo——"

Xie Qiu Tao was slightly stunned by the big hand covering her mouth, and quickly turned away, her face slightly red:

"Where ordinary snakes and rats can survive, what kind of poison can there be? Mr. Zuo, don't scare people."

Zuo Lingquan also thought so, but Sister Yingying reminded him so, so he was still cautious. After signaling Qiu Tao not to smell randomly, they surveyed the holes on the stone wall together.

The openings of the caves vary in size, the small ones are only as thick as a finger, and the large ones can have a diameter of dozens of feet. Judging from the scratches on the stone wall inside the cave, snakes should often go in and out of these holes.

Zuo Lingquan carefully sensed that the several demonic auras that appeared when the snake cave was burned just now had disappeared. It is not easy to find the snake demon hidden deep underground.

Xie Qiutao's sensing range was similar to Zuo Lingquan's. There were traces of monsters everywhere, but she had no clue where to track them. She thought for a moment and looked at Tuanzi, who was still looking back at the roasted snake: "Tuan'er, where is the snake monster? Take us there."

Tuanzi opened his beak, indicating that he would reward them first. After eating the dried fish, he carefully observed the stone caves surrounding the snake cave, "Chijiji..." using his wings to gesture.

Zuo Lingquan observed it for a while, and it should be saying that there are many monsters inside the snake cave, and how big he wants to find.

Judging from the size of the stone cave, the monsters hidden in the snake cave are difficult to count, but there are not many large monsters in the snake cave.

Zuo Lingquan came here to cut the grass and root it out, so he naturally tried his best to kill them all. After a little consideration, he said:

"Start killing from the biggest one, it doesn't matter if you miss some small fish and shrimps."

"Chi."

After Tuanzi received the order, he began to search for the biggest snake monster in the surrounding area!

The results came out quickly, and Tuanzi pointed his wings to a cave entrance in the northwest.

Xie Qiutao looked around and saw that the cave entrance was about one person tall. It was quite clean inside, and it seemed that no monster had walked around for many years. She wondered:

"Is there a big monster hidden in it?"

"Chi."

Tuanzi nodded like pecking at rice, and took the two people inside.

Zuo Lingquan and Xie Qiutao looked at each other, and out of trust in Tuanzi's perception, they walked into the cave together...
