"Hutou Mountain, four hundred and fifty miles northwest of the sect, has been filled with demonic energy recently, and people have disappeared from time to time! It is suspected that a mountain demon has become a spirit, and it requires disciples above the eighth level of Qi Refining to investigate!

Note: It is best to go together with more than two people!”

After reading the information on the mission scroll, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but say MMP in his heart!

Although he said that he wanted to carry out the task alone, is it really okay for the deacon to entrust him with such a task that clearly indicates that it needs to be carried out by multiple people?

"Forget it, it's an outer sect mission anyway. At most, it's just a spirit that is about to condense the demon elixir! You won't let yourself meet the demon general after the elixir is formed!"

Jiang Xiaobai thought about his own strength secretly. Now that he has reached the eighth level of Qi refining, the spiritual power condensed in his body is much stronger than that of ordinary monks at the ninth level of Qi refining. With the addition of two merit magic weapons, even if he really meets

Demon generals who have reached the realm of foundation building may not be incapable of fighting!

Yes, Jiang Xiaobai did not hide the merit weapon as he promised! Instead, he decided to continue using it!

For him, he is a real fool if he doesn't use good things! As for money that attracts people's hearts and brings troubles to himself, he will only blame himself for his lack of strength!

If he is strong enough, let's see who dares to steal his magic weapon!

Just like the human race's holy weapon, the Qiankun Cauldron, it was placed on the top of Mount Tai in an open and fair manner, and no one dared to snatch it!

After thinking about his strength, Jiang Xiaobai gave up his plan to change tasks and left the mountain gate alone!

Because it was a single-player mission, Jiang Xiaobai himself was not in a hurry, so he did not receive the spiritual bird or crane. Instead, he walked down the mountain gate step by step, enjoying the surrounding scenery and relaxing while rushing towards Hutou Mountain.

go!

Speaking of which, although Jiang Xiaobai is nearly 20 years old, he has never left the mountain gate of the Holy Fire Sect. Although he followed Mu Ziyan to Niutou Village last time, he sat on a crane and walked high and high all the way.

Went there and didn’t appreciate the scenery at all!

"It is indeed a world of cultivating immortals! Every place here is probably not inferior to a 5A-level scenic spot!"

Breathing the breath of nature, Jiang Xiaobai walked and drove towards Hutou Mountain. His initially impetuous mood due to his inability to break through slowly calmed down!

Four hundred and fifty miles, neither far nor close. With Jiang Xiaobai's current level of cultivation, even if he didn't deliberately rush, he would arrive at the foot of Hutou Mountain after four or five hours!

Different from the small hills outside Niutou Village, Hutou Mountain is a veritable mountain with towering peaks reaching into the clouds. It covers an area of ​​no less than fifty miles and is home to countless birds and animals!

As soon as he approached Hutou Mountain, Jiang Xiaobai felt an evil aura rushing toward him! He couldn't help but frowned and said, "What a strong evil aura! It would be strange if no wild beast became a spirit!"

There are countless monsters in the world, but there are only two situations that can open up your spiritual intelligence and become a spirit!

Either absorb light energy and swallow the essence of the sun and moon. Or condense evil energy and absorb blood food!

The former has wisdom and understands human nature, but the latter is more ignorant and only knows how to kill!

The Hutoushan Mountain in front of us is a place where evil spirits gather. No wonder some pedestrians die here!

“I just don’t know how many people died on Hutou Mountain!”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed in his heart. Logically speaking, this is the hinterland of the Holy Fire Sect. As long as the spirits born in it have some intelligence, they will not hurt people wantonly!

And this is exactly why the Holy Fire Sect will keep them and let them survive here!

In fact, the trial missions prepared by the Holy Fire Sect for the outer disciples are not them, but the passing spirits that come here from outside!

After taking a look at the sun that was almost over the top of the mountain, Jiang Xiaobai did not hesitate, held up a miasma-breaking talisman to protect himself, and walked into Hutou Mountain with a red gold shield!

The evil spirit is different from the evil spirit. It comes from Hutou Mountain itself. Jiang Xiaobai couldn't locate the spirit for a while, so he had to follow his feeling and wander around, looking for some places with strong evil energy!

Not long after walking, Jiang Xiaobai found a piece of tattered clothes under the shade of a tree. Although the clothes were tattered, they were not old. Apparently they had not been abandoned here for a long time!

Jiang Xiaobai searched around this piece of clothing for a long time, but surprisingly found that not only could he not find the victim's bones, but he could not even find any clues!

"Strange! These clothes were obviously left behind by a pedestrian who disappeared here, but why can't we find any clues?"

In confusion, Jiang Xiaobai picked up the piece of clothes on the ground, and when he stood up, he inadvertently found something strange about the big tree above his head!

The tree in front of me is a plant similar to a locust tree, with a thick body and thick and rough bark!

This is not surprising. What is strange is that Jiang Xiaobai found that two meters above his head, the originally rough bark became clearly smooth! And the appearance of the smooth bark did not look like it was formed naturally.

, on the contrary, it looks like it has been carefully polished!

"Strange, who would come to Hutoushan specifically to polish a tree?"

In doubt, Jiang Xiaobai put away half of the clothes in his hand, jumped more than two meters high, reached out to grab the tree body, and observed carefully!

Soon, Jiang Xiaobai found some red fragments on the tree. After taking them out, he found that they were some scales!

"Are these snake scales?"

Looking at the egg-sized scales in front of him, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but wonder how big a snake must be for its scales to grow like this!

"It seems that the missing pedestrian was swallowed by this big snake. No wonder there are no traces left nearby!"

Pythons are inherently ferocious beasts, and in this place where evil spirits gather, it is indeed easy for them to become spirits!

Although it has not yet been determined whether this python is the monster mentioned in the mission, since it eats people, Jiang Xiaobai will naturally not let it go!

With this discovery, Jiang Xiaobai's search became much easier! Following the traces of the python left on the tree, Jiang Xiaobai walked all the way into the mountains!

Along the way, Jiang Xiaobai found many items left behind by passers-by. Some were torn clothes, some were shoes, and some were overturned luggage. Although they were all different, they all explained the fact that their owners were killed.

!

By now, it is basically certain that the spirit that kills pedestrians in Hutou Mountain is this python!

However, if Jiang Xiaobai wants to complete the mission, he still needs to find it first!

Unknowingly, Jiang Xiaobai had been walking towards the mountains for half an hour. The originally dense woods gradually became sparse. They were replaced by more and more exposed rocks!
Chapter completed!
