Putting Xuekui's body into the Nine Yang True Refining Gourd, Ouyang Xu continued to move towards the depths of the Dragon Python Swamp.
Another week passed in the blink of an eye. After seven days of traveling, he finally crossed the outer periphery of the Dragon Python Swamp and arrived at the hinterland of the Dragon Python Swamp.
As soon as he entered the hinterland of the dragon python swamp, Ouyang Xu almost died in the mouth of a sixth-order python. Fortunately, he escaped quickly and used the purple ribbon treasure clothes to restrain his breath and hide, thus avoiding a catastrophe.
.
The danger level in the hinterland of the Dragon Python Swamp was far greater than the outside. There were fifth- and sixth-level pythons everywhere, which made it difficult for him to move forward.
"Boom! Boom!" Just when Ouyang Xu was thinking about whether to retreat to the outside, a faint roar came from the distance.
The chaotic roar aroused his curiosity. After thinking about it for a while, curiosity finally prevailed and he cautiously sneaked towards the direction of the explosion.
Before approaching the battle, Ouyang Xu felt several powerful auras. Each of these auras made him feel a strong sense of crisis. Their strength was at least that of a sixth-order ferocious beast.
"Several powerful auras are fighting with each other. I am definitely not just idle and bored to stretch my muscles. Isn't there something good?" Thinking of this, Ouyang Xu felt slightly excited. He took a deep breath and sneaked quickly without being affected.
among the reeds.
"Holy shit!" Looking at the battlefield ahead from a distance, Ouyang Xu couldn't help but exclaimed.
In his sight, a large group of people in front were fighting with a larger number of pythons. These pythons were not the garbage pythons in the periphery. The weakest ones were also fourth-level pythons. Viewed from a distance, they looked like pieces.
.
The number of pythons was far greater than that of the crowd, but they could not gain an advantage in fighting with this group of people. Instead, their numbers quickly decreased during the fight.
"Iron Sword Sect, Blood Crow Sect, and some people should be solitary practitioners." Looking at the fighting crowd, Ouyang Xu quickly judged.
Each member of the Iron Sword Sect holds an iron sword, and they fight in groups of three.
The three of them were well-organized whether they were attacking or defending, and they would never give the python an opportunity to take advantage of them. Their tacit understanding of each other made Ouyang Xu sigh that the Iron Sword Sect is indeed a sect that is good at group battles, and its strength in group battles.
It's really unparalleled in the world.
Compared to the people of the Iron Sword Sect, the fighting style of the Blood Crow Sect is exactly the opposite. The members of the Blood Crow Sect are bloodthirsty and ruthless, and every move is fatal. Each of them cooperates with the blood crows flying in the air to do their best
Fighting, the fighting ability is also very good.
Compared with these two sects, those who practice alone are much inferior. Except for a few powerful lone practitioners, others are constantly suffering casualties in the face of the tidal wave of python attacks.
The disciples of the Tejian Sect and the Blood Crow Sect have good fighting capabilities, but what really makes a difference are the two elder-level experts who lead the team. Both of them are warriors of the eighth heaven. Every move and every move contains great power.
The power was such that the pythons killed by the two of them alone were more powerful than all the others put together.
"It's too powerful. With my current strength, I probably won't even be able to catch a single move." Looking at the battle between the two elders, Ouyang Xu deeply felt the huge gap. Only with the gap can there be a goal to strive for. This
It gave him a strong fighting spirit.
After recovering from the shock of the battle ahead, Ouyang Xu turned his attention to the surroundings. With so many people fighting against the pythons here, they were definitely not trying to kill the pythons. There was definitely something that made them willing to fight for it.
"This is!!" Looking at the thing in the distance, his breath couldn't help but stagnate.
Not far from where the python group was fighting the crowd, there was a pitch-black swamp that was very different from the surrounding swamps. The color of the swamp was as black as ink, and black bubbles popped up from time to time. There were no traces of light for hundreds of meters around the pitch-black swamp.
plant, a black lotus the size of a millstone floats quietly in the middle of the swamp.
"Black Lotus!" Ouyang Xu whispered to himself softly, with a slight tremor in his tone, and a look of surprise in his eyes.
Black Lotus is known as the King of Poisons and contains unimaginable toxicity. Even if a warrior from the eighth level of Qi-inducing swallows the poisonous poison of Black Lotus, there is only one way to die.
Black lotus is extremely poisonous, but the lotus seeds it grows contain strong vitality. They are the best elixirs for refining elixirs. As long as black lotus seeds are added to most elixirs, their potency will definitely be doubled. It is also the best way to refine recovery elixirs.
One of the best elixirs, the strong vitality contained in it can heal any injury in a short period of time as long as it is not fatal. It is definitely the second life of a warrior.
In addition, the black lotus seed is also an important auxiliary elixir for refining the Qianyuan Good Fortune elixir. Ouyang Xu originally planned to find other elixirs instead, but he did not expect to encounter this black lotus here.
The records of black lotus in the Alchemy Sutra are very detailed. Through observation, he found that the black lotus in front of him was obviously not mature yet, but it didn't have much time to mature.
It is estimated that in less than a day, the black lotus will produce lotus seeds. At that time, it will be the time when the black lotus matures, and it is also the time to snatch it. Before the black lotus matures, the black lotus will be surrounded by a wave of Qi-inducing eight layers.
The poisonous gas is feared by all Heavenly warriors, which is why the crowd and the python group dodge and fight away from the Black Lotus.
At this time, Black Lotus was not yet mature, and he was not too worried about Black Lotus's ownership. Ouyang Xu turned his attention to the battlefield ahead where the fierce battle was taking place.
Seeing the python that only contained the blood of the Star Demon Dragon being killed, Ouyang Xu couldn't help but feel excited. If he could get the bodies of these pythons and absorb the power of the stars in their bodies, he would definitely be able to break through to the refinement level.
The fifth level of the body.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield, he was very confused. If this thing succeeded, if he failed, he might be surrounded by a group of pythons. It is estimated that no one would save him by then.
"If you don't fight, you won't get the cub." After thinking for a while, Ouyang Xu fiercely gritted his teeth and made up his mind. If he was timid about doing anything, he would not be able to accomplish anything in the end.
"Demon King, I will activate the Nine Yang True Refining Gourd in a moment to put the python's body into the gourd. Please don't refine it directly. I have to absorb the power of the stars in their bodies." Ouyang Xu said secretly in his heart.
"knew!"
After receiving the answer from the Demon King's weapon spirit, Ouyang Xu had a determined look in his eyes. The Hunyuan Qi in his body poured into the purple ribbon treasure clothes. His whole body was wrapped in the protective light and he carefully sneaked into the swamp mud.
In order to avoid being discovered by the strong men on both sides of the battle, he was extremely cautious and moved as fast as a turtle crawling after approaching the battle site.
With his excellent sensing ability, Ouyang Xu would not go in the wrong direction even if he was in the mud. After some cautious efforts, he finally reached the outermost corpse.
Quietly emerging from the mud, Ouyang Xu carefully scanned the surroundings, and then summoned the Nine Yang True Refining Gourd in his body to collect the corpse of the python with the blood of the Star Demon Dragon on the ground.
One, two, three... The number of corpses was getting more and more. While Ouyang Xu was happy, he also became more and more cautious. After all, at the beginning, one or two python corpses were not enough.
No matter what, once the number increases, it will easily attract others' attention.
He kept collecting python corpses, and in the end even he himself didn't know how many python corpses he had collected. Anyway, in order to maintain the Nine Yang True Refining Gourd and collect the python corpses, nearly one-third of the Hunyuan Qi in his body was consumed.
two.
Ouyang Xu once again collected the corpse of a python in front of him, and he let out a sigh of relief.
In order not to be discovered by the python group and the crowd, he acted very carefully. It took him nearly three or four hours to collect these python corpses. At this time, almost all the python corpses on the outside of the battlefield had been collected, and he would have to fight with them further inside.
direct contact with a group of pythons.
Although he always collected python carcasses from the periphery, he almost attracted the attention of nearby pythons several times during the process. Once, he even passed by a python moving forward in the mud.
Feeling that there was not much Hunyuan Qi left in his body, Ouyang Xu decided to stop. Just when he was about to dive back into the mud again, he was discovered by a python because there was no cover from the python corpse.
"Hiss!!" As the python hissed, several surrounding pythons that were rushing towards the crowd turned their heads in confusion, and followed the python that had spotted Ouyang Xu before, screaming and rushing towards him.
"Damn it!" He cursed in his heart. At this time, Ouyang Xu didn't care about exposing his body shape. He suddenly jumped out of the mud and turned into a whirlwind and fled towards the distance. Anyway, he was wearing a human skin mask.
You don’t have to worry about being discovered by others.
His blatant escape immediately aroused the anger of these pythons, who followed him like sharp arrows with their screams.
Many people in the crowd fighting in the distance saw the small incident caused by Ouyang Xu, but they didn't pay much attention to it and continued to fight with the pythons around them.
These pythons live in swamps all year round, and their speed in the swamp is faster than on land. During the chase, the distance between the two kept getting closer, and when Ouyang Xu escaped from the battlefield and got into the reeds,
At that time, the nearest python was less than ten meters away.
Even though it was only for a moment, Ouyang Xu had already seen clearly the number of pythons chasing him. There were four pythons in total. The lowest among these four pythons were two peak fourth-level pythons, and the other two were both fifth-level.
strength.
After luring the four pythons far away, his body that had been charging forward suddenly turned sharply to the side.
