Chapter 700: Destroying the Snake Cave and Opening the Mountain Road
There is a mountain range in the northwest, with endless dense forests, hiding many wild beasts such as 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 reappeared soon after.
The strange beasts such as the human-like snake and the belly bear all have a human face. The human-like snake has a human head and a snake body, while the belly bear has a human face hidden in the flesh and blood of its abdomen, which can only be seen when its chest is opened and its belly is broken.
Some were transformed from humans, and some were transformed from animals. Li Changxiao didn't care at first, because there were too many wild beasts in the ancient times, and there were too many strange and bizarre ones.
But when he rescued Qing Chunhua, he suddenly thought that the ability of the human-snake to assimilate aliens was really extraordinary. He guessed that this kind of human-faced beast might have a bigger 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-snake.
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" had sneaked into Fuyao Tianxia and was secretly doing evil, but after thinking about it, 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 he thought that the human-headed beasts here must have some connection.
With this thought in mind, Li Changxiao released his spiritual sense and scanned the area inside and outside. The coverage was so wide that it almost covered the entire northwest forest. However, he did not find any strange traces.
Not surprisingly, he had scanned it several times before and found nothing unusual.
……
Now that he had encountered it, Li Changxiao had to investigate a little. As cultivators are blessed by heaven and earth, Li Changxiao's cultivation was high, so he had to shoulder part of the responsibility of heaven and earth. He was not willing to sacrifice himself for justice, but he could not ignore the rampant monsters and not take any action.
He jumped into the forest, frowning and thinking. Suddenly he saw a human-like snake. It stuck its head out and said, "Young man, are you lost?"
Li Changxiao looked sideways, and the person who imitated a human snake was hiding behind a tree, with only half of his face exposed. A quick glance showed that she was not bad-looking, with regular facial features, and she was a woman.
The scholar snake appears in the forest, always hiding behind trees, only showing its face to chat with passers-by. It has two purposes, one is to assimilate, the other is to eat. 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-snake was suddenly startled, enveloped in a dream, and completely unconscious. It was only controlled by Li Changxiao through the dream.
It twisted its body and crawled deeper into the forest, with Li Changxiao following closely behind.
In the past, Li Changxiao entered the forest to eliminate the evil spirits. He killed them with one sword without saying a word, and only wanted to kill them as soon as possible. But this time, Li Changxiao changed his strategy and decided to control the dream to investigate further.
Looking at the back of the human-snake, Li Changxiao knew that she was a miserable person. When he controlled her dream, he saw through her transformation into a snake. She was a famous courtesan with a charming appearance. She eloped with her lover and accidentally entered the deep forest and met the human-snake.
Her lover was eaten by many snakes, and she herself turned into a snake, and had no choice but to become an accomplice of the tigers, hiding in the woods, away from the sun, and using her pretty looks to seduce passers-by.
Once you turn into a snake, no matter how great your abilities were, you will no longer be in control of yourself.
After walking for about dozens of miles, they arrived in front of a dilapidated temple.
Li Changxiao's long sword gently pierced through the body of the student snake. The student snake collapsed to the ground, his life slipping away quickly. Before he died completely, the man in white stepped into the temple.
The temple is filled with a foul odor, and in the depths stands an evil statue. The entire temple looks dilapidated, but in fact it has an extraordinary structure. It fits in with the terrain of the mountains and rivers, and can repel spiritual consciousness.
In this era, spiritual consciousness is really restricted. Li Changxiao had previously scanned with spiritual consciousness, but had not found the temple here. He observed again and saw that the evil elephant had a human head and a beast body.
As soon as Li Changxiao entered the evil temple, he saw thousands of heads sticking out of the temple, which was very creepy. There were skeletons on the ground, some human and some human-like snakes.
Apparently, the human-like snakes often lure people to the temple and eat them up, but this dense forest is ravaged by 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 strange beasts died suddenly in an instant. Li Changxiao came to the human-headed beast statue and looked at it carefully.
He saw the head of the man, which was very strange. He looked into the eyes of the man's face and felt a mysterious force trying to assimilate him.
Li Changxiao was not afraid, nor did he resist, allowing the mysterious power to cover his entire body. But no matter what, it was difficult to shake Li Changxiao. No matter how powerful the strange power was, it was difficult to invade Li Changxiao's body.
Li Chang smiled and thought, "The source of the strange beasts with human heads in this dense forest must be here. Although I have killed many strange 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 person spreads ten people, ten people spread a hundred people, and soon there will be more and more strange beasts with human heads."
He felt relieved. Although he didn't know who had placed this evil image, it was still within his ability. If the Ten Evils really came to Fuyao Tianxia, Li Changxiao would have to ask the Mahayana Patriarch for help.
He took out his sword and ground the elephant with a human head and a beast body into powder. He felt uneasy, so he made a thunder gesture and completely flattened the place.
Li Changxiao still did not leave. He went deep into the forest himself and uprooted all the evil elephant temples in one fell swoop, leaving not a single one behind.
It took three full days and three nights to clear out a total of thirteen strange temples.
……
The northwest area has regained peace. Since the evil temple was eradicated, the human-snake phenomenon has really subsided. Li Changxiao runs an inn and has nothing to do, so he wants to open up a mountain road in the northwest. If the road is easy to walk on, there will be more pedestrians, and then the business of the inn may be better.
So when there were no guests in the inn, Li Changxiao went into the mountains with his sword to dig a path and plow a relatively straight road. This was a big project, but Li Changxiao's skills were very sophisticated, and it took only more than ten days to completely open the road, and it didn't look like it was dug by humans, but rather formed naturally.
After the path was opened, although the inn was located in a remote area, it had one more road connecting it to the outside world, and the number of guests coming and going in front of the inn gradually increased.
It can be found all over the world.
