Chapter 56: The Blood Python Reveals Itself

Han Anyi's face stiffened. He had only used a provocation tactic, never expecting Chu Jianqiu to actually stay with a thick face.

If Chu Jianqiu really stayed, his plan would fail.

"Fu Simu, how can a martial artist be so cowardly? This good-for-nothing is not making any progress, and you are learning from him." Ximen Yiliu, seeing Chu Jianqiu's shameless behavior and Fu Lingsnow's obedience to him, couldn't help but feel angry and scolded her.

"Fine, since Fu Simu wants to stay, don't force her. Let's continue." Wan Xiuying waved her hand and continued up the mountain.

She was quite disappointed with Fu Lingsnow's decision. This time, bringing out Fu Lingsnow and the other junior sisters with lower cultivation levels was not only to subdue demons but also to let them gain some experience.

However, Fu Lingsnow's performance greatly disappointed her. Wan Xiuying considered that perhaps she didn't need to take such good care of Fu Lingsnow in the future.

Seeing Chu Jianqiu's thick-skinned decision to stay, Han Anyi had no choice but to follow the group up the mountain.

Chu Jianqiu waited until the group was far away, then took out a Flash Escape Talisman and a Golden Shield Talisman and gave them to Fu Lingsnow, explaining how to use them.

Seeing the two spirit talismans and hearing Chu Jianqiu's explanation, Fu Lingsnow was startled and hurriedly refused, not daring to accept them.

These two spirit talismans were extremely precious; even one of them was probably worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

"Just take them. Don't waste time with nonsense. This matter is not as simple as it seems. If anything goes wrong, use the Flash Escape Talisman to leave immediately," Chu Jianqiu said with a serious expression.

"Is Brother Chu not staying with me?" Fu Lingsnow sensed the meaning behind Chu Jianqiu's words.

Chu Jianqiu smiled. "Although Sister Wan and the others don't believe me, we are all fellow disciples. I can't just leave them. Besides, this demon is causing havoc and cannot be allowed to continue. Don't worry, I have ways to protect myself. If things get out of hand, I will also escape immediately."

After giving his instructions, Chu Jianqiu darted forward and ran up the mountain.

Fu Lingsnow watched Chu Jianqiu's disappearing figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She was both happy and bitter about Chu Jianqiu's concern for her.

She was happy that Chu Jianqiu's concern was genuine and without ulterior motives, but she was bitter that he only cared for her as a junior sister, without any other intentions.

Fu Lingsnow looked at the two spirit talismans in her hand and sighed. But she quickly composed herself, thinking that as long as she could be by his side, it was a kind of happiness.

"That good-for-nothing, so afraid of death. He might as well stay home and sleep. Why did he come out with us? It's just embarrassing." Ximen Yiliu continued to grumble about Chu Jianqiu, whose actions made her feel very frustrated.

"Fu Simu is really something. What's so good about that good-for-nothing that she follows him around all day?" After grumbling about Chu Jianqiu, Ximen Yiliu turned to criticize Fu Lingsnow, who always disobeyed her, making her very frustrated.

"Enough, don't say anymore. We are now close to the demon's lair. Although this demon is not a powerful one, we still cannot be careless," Wan Xiuying waved her hand to stop Ximen Yiliu's grumbling.

"Are you looking for me?" As Wan Xiuying finished speaking, a hoarse and eerie voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of snake hissing.

With the sound, thick black smoke suddenly rose from the surrounding mountains.

In the midst of the black smoke, a massive figure slowly emerged from the forest.

This figure had a human head and a snake body, with a huge body as thick as a water vat and a terrifying snake body stretching for dozens of feet.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked, a chill running through their hearts. At this moment, they had only one thought: it's over.

They never imagined that this blood python was actually a shape-shifting demon.

A shape-shifting demon was equivalent to a human Sea Transformation Realm martial artist.

Although this blood python had not fully transformed, its head could already take on a human form, indicating that it was at least halfway to the Sea Transformation Realm.

Whether it was a fully transformed demon or a half-transformed one, neither was a match for them.

Han Anyi's limbs turned cold, and he deeply regretted his decision. If he had known the blood python was a half-transformed demon, he would never have come.

Si Fengkai was also trembling all over. Facing such a high-level demon, his arrogance had vanished.

Ximen Yiliu's face turned pale, her legs weak, almost unable to stand.

Wan Xiuying was the only one who managed to maintain some composure. Since she had taken on this mission, it was too late to regret now. Even if she was afraid, it wouldn't help.

"Don't panic, let's work together to break out. It may not be able to stop us," Wan Xiuying said, trying to remain calm.

"Break out? Do you think you can escape? Look around and see what has happened," the blood python's cold voice sounded again.

Everyone turned to look around and saw that the surrounding forest for dozens of feet was shrouded in thick black smoke, which had a very eerie smell. Clearly, the blood python had already set up a demon array here.

Seeing this, everyone felt even more despair. The hope of escaping from a half-transformed demon was already slim, and now they were trapped in this demon array, which was a death trap.

"I spent so much effort to finally lure some decent prey. How could I let you escape so easily? That would be a joke."

The blood python's cold, vertical pupils scanned everyone, its wet and disgusting tongue flicking in and out.

"These days, I have only been eating ordinary people, which is not very satisfying. Only you martial artists, full of vitality, can provide a good meal."

As the blood python spoke, it suddenly revealed its true form. Its massive body flashed, creating a foul wind, and it swallowed a Xuan Yun Sect disciple in one bite.

The Xuan Yun Sect disciple didn't even have time to react before becoming the blood python's meal.

After swallowing the disciple, the blood python returned to its original position, moving as fast as the wind.

After swallowing the disciple, the blood python's terrifying snake head transformed back into a human form, its red tongue flicking, and it wore an expression of enjoyment.

"These high-ranking martial artists from prestigious sects are indeed a great supplement," the blood python laughed triumphantly.

The flesh of demons was a great supplement for human martial artists, and human martial artists were also a fatal attraction for demons.
