In the swamp that exploded, the ferocious and furious snake stood up from the ground, spitting fishy smell from its mouth.
In the surprised gaze of the crazy python old woman, a figure slowly stood up from the head of the huge beast and cast an almost pitying look at her from a high position.
The man was young and handsome. Even though his clothes were torn and his body was covered in scars from the previous fight, it was difficult to see any fear or hesitation on his face.
"Don't use Hidden Dragon..." The wrinkles on that old face couldn't help but tremble.
However, in the next second, the proud and erect Qianlong Wuyi was thrown away by the mad Snake Beast King!
Oops, I'm about to run out of energy... Jiang Qian was trying hard to keep his balance in mid-air. As soon as his wings spread out, he crashed into the swamp not far behind the old woman who protected the sacred mountain, the python, and half of his body was smashed into it.
"Hmph, I see. How can you control a beast king as powerful as the Snake without the Key Gu?"
The old python woman sneered and turned to look at Jiang Qian, who was half-submerged in the swamp.
"You don't have to worry!"
Jiang Qian retorted and flapped his wings to drag his lower body out of the mud.
Due to the excessive physical exertion of continuously attacking the enemy, in his current state, he was unable to maximize the power of the Heart-killing Lock, and he could no longer make the ferocious giant snake, the Snake, obey his orders.
But this does not conflict with Jiang Qian's purpose.
"Hiss——"
The snake king looked up to the sky and roared.
It seems that he is extremely dissatisfied with the environment he is in!
And the way it vents its dissatisfaction is to destroy...
It twisted its "waist" and stirred up the entire swamp. Its huge wings danced wildly in the mud, and the mud soup it stirred up splashed everywhere with deadly destructive power, and then triggered a larger-scale rebound!
The restlessness of the snake brought the old woman's attention back, forcing her to deal with the uncontrollable behemoth first. It also gave Jiang Qian some time to breathe.
"Sha Jin, are you awake? Please move the others further away."
Following the instructions of the crazy python old woman, the man in monk's robes floating in the swamp silently stood up, quickly picked up the Dark Lord and the two Holy Envoys beside him, and jumped away from the too noisy battlefield.
The old woman frowned, took out a small and exquisite jade flute from her ragged linen sleeve, and held it to her lips.
Then, the flute sounded.
The unique sound passes through the noisy and turbulent swamp, causing the snake's body to tremble as it vents its anger!
It stopped.
The old woman had a gloomy face and continued to play the jade flute in an orderly manner.
The snake that stopped moving slowly turned its head, its ferocious gaze focused on the old woman, but it could only grin and howl! It could not move forward even half a step...
What's wrong with it? That flute sound, could it be... Jiang Qian, who avoided the sight of the crazy python old woman, stared at the snake that was "restrained" by the flute sound, feeling both surprised and relieved in his heart.
Currently, the only method he knows that can control the snake, apart from the "Heart-killing Lock" that he personally imposed, is the only "Key Gu" that was mentioned in the promotion ceremony.
Jiang Qian focused on his beast king, the ferocious and violent beast, which seemed to be enduring some kind of pressure or pain, howling and drooling!
"Thank you for your hard work, please step back and rest first."
The crazy python old woman put down her jade flute, and while speaking, she raised her hand and threw out a fishing net.
The fishing net suddenly enlarged several times as it approached the snake! It completely covered the snake, which had not yet recovered, and bound it in the net.
After finishing these tasks, the old woman turned around and said coldly towards where Jiang Qian was hiding: "Thank you for your hard work. Don't use Qianlong. I didn't expect you to be able to resist to this extent. This surprised me."
"Can I take this as a compliment?" Jiang Qian hid in a dark place and did not show up.
He has every reason to do so.
But the old python woman didn’t have much patience, and her tone became increasingly cold:
"Continuing to hide will mean nothing to you or me... You should understand what a gulf there is between you and me."
"I know, but it won't be what you want." Jiang Qian said.
"hehe…"
The old woman sneered: "Calling you respectfully as prince is a rule passed down from the sacred mountain for many years. But if you don't know how to praise me, I can only take action against you."
As she spoke, the python old woman suddenly turned into "mud" and melted into the swamp under her feet...
In the hierarchy of the Holy Mountain, only the four-state card holders who have crossed the narrow gate of promotion and obtained the power card may be given the titles of "Holy Envoy" and "Holy Lady" to exercise the special rights of the Holy Mountain.
The two guardians at the next level up are both five-state card holders at a higher level who possess the talent of regulating natural forces.
In other words, after defeating Hei Yelangjun, Ci Die, and Sha Jin, Jiang Qian's current opponent is a five-state dignitary who is one evolutionary level higher than him!
Even though Jiang Qian himself is a super-evolved person with unique talents in cross-level hunting, his current physical strength and condition have declined significantly after fighting alone against multiple opponents.
It seems that defeat will happen sooner or later.
Jiang Qian, wearing invisible armor, flaps his wings and rises!
Since the opponent chooses to melt into the swamp, he can live in the air and never touch the wetland beneath his feet.
"You are probably thinking that as long as you stay in the air forever, I will have nothing to do with you..."
Before he finished speaking, the swamp below suddenly rose up like a wave and rushed in one direction!
Such "waves" come one after another, becoming more and more fierce and covering an area rapidly expanding.
Jiang Qian, who quickly increased his flying height, was finally "caught" by the mud wave, and the mud covered his ankle.
Then, the huge drag force threw him out of the air and crashed into the swamp!
As the mud splashed everywhere, Jiang Qian emerged from the mud panting...
Once stained with mud, the "stealth" function of the stealth armor will be in vain.
Jiang Qian flapped his wings and tried to escape from the dangerous situation that continued to sink. However, behind him, a huge head comparable to that of a tan snake was quietly protruding from the mire.
The thick and cold snake hesitantly breathed out its words, bringing up a strong and fishy wind.
Jiang Qian didn't look back. He didn't need to look back, and he could see the "small movements" of the giant thing behind him through his spiritual vision.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then it is not difficult to guess the culprit who just caused the storm in the swamp.
"My beast king - Dragnet."
The cold voice of the old woman came from all directions in the swamp.
"The name is quite decent, but it's just a reticulated python."
Jiang Qian spoke confidently, but his movements were very difficult.
The reticulated python is a species that exists in reality and is the longest python in the world. With its amazing lethality and ferocity, it is known as the veritable overlord of the rainforest!
What's more, the owner of this giant is still a powerful person.
The giant python's body surged in the mud, and the mud waves rolled up once again swept Jiang Qian into it, constantly consuming his remaining physical strength.
Jiang Qian simply folded his wings, covered his body with snake scales, and used the same advantage of his identity card to drift with the tide in the mud.
Sure enough, this kind of countermeasure of following the trend is more effective than stubborn confrontation.
Although his body is wrapped in mud, as a snake card holder and has evolved to a complete body, there is no danger of "suffocation".
In addition, due to the huge difference in physique between the reticulated python and the reticulated python, the possibility of being strangled by the python is greatly reduced. Even if the other party approaches with such intention, he will respond immediately.
"Little tricks."
The old woman's voice came again.
Jiang Qian's eyes narrowed and he felt his chest was suddenly hit hard!
Under the impact of this impact, his body suddenly jumped back and flew out of the swamp.
At the same time, he heard the "click" sound of his own bones breaking.
The opponent's attack shattered his bones through the chivalrous cloak and invisibility armor!
This move is a bit like beating a cow across a mountain...
That is to say, the principles of conservation of momentum and energy are used, and through clever calculations, the force of the strike is transmitted through the chivalrous cloak and invisible armor, causing the miraculous effect of causing internal injuries without the armor being stressed.
Could it be that this old woman is also a martial arts master?
While thinking, Jiang Qian had no choice but to stretch his wings and maintain his balance while looking around, but found no trace of the sneak attacker.
Yes, she is a five-state card holder. She can use natural forces and merge with them... Jiang Qian gasped and thought to himself: Could it be that the natural force the opponent controls is a swamp?
Jiang Qian was thinking as he avoided the mud that came over him, even a trace of it, and avoided it completely.
If the opponent can control and blend into the swamp, then any drop of muddy water will become a dangerous weapon.
"The response was pretty quick, but to no avail."
The guardian of the sacred mountain hidden in the swamp exerted his strength again, and the reticulated python suddenly rushed out of the mud soup and spat out a mouthful of mud at Jiang Qian.
"not good."
The attack was sudden and it was too late to evade completely.
Jiang Qian tried his best to adjust his body and wings, and managed to avoid the head-on blow with a rare gesture.
The mud passed by him, and after shattering the fangs protruding from his body, the aftermath cracked Jiang Qian's ribs.
It felt like being hit by a powerful fist.
Jiang Qian pressed his wet ribs.
Although he was born with a weak sense of pain, the actual increased physical burden cannot be ignored.
Of course, if he was hit directly in the chest, the blow would be decisive for Jiang Qian, who had already been injured once, and even his organs might be severely damaged.
"Do you want to continue?"
The crazy old woman laughed and said:
"I don't mind trying to temper your rebellious temper, but if you stay here for too long, it might be a problem for us."
She said this with confidence, as if the hidden dragon was already in her pocket.
Of course, this is exactly the case.
After these words, an even more intense mud and water offensive quickly swept across the entire "battlefield".
Thin muddy water hit Jiang Qian from all directions, leaving him with no room to dodge.
He remembered his first experience with Ye Xiaojing: like a prey being toyed with.
Roots of poisonous fangs protrude from Jiang Qian's body, quickly and closely arranged into a defensive form, and shuttle through the muddy water with the hardness of the teeth and control of the perfect bite force.
Sometimes he was thrown into the air, sometimes he escaped into the depths of the swamp, and the rapid and intensive attacks and defenses were so dazzling that even the snake king who was bound in the giant net was stunned.
The sand gold in the distance was also deeply shocked.
He stared intently at the "center of the battlefield" and was shocked that a four-state and perfect card holder who had just entered the powerful world could remain undefeated for a long time with the blessing of a five-state master and environmental props. This was completely beyond his imagination.
.
"Perhaps the Lord Protector's interest is not yet exhausted...but it's time to end."
Sha Jin lowered his head to look at the other two holy envoys who were still in a coma, and whispered to himself.
…
Jiang Qian was thrown into the muddy water by the force of the impact, and his juices splashed!
This time, he didn't get up as quickly as before.
The laughter of the crazy python old woman came from all directions: "Haha...are you finally exhausted?"
Her figure appeared on the marsh not far from Jiang Qian.
Looking down at the "most difficult to deal with" prince, he issued a declaration and evaluation unique to the winner:
"It seems that the copy of "Containment" has given you a lot of blessings. You have agile arm strength, excellent body balance, and bite control that is obviously derived from ancient carnivores. It is violent and precise, and is terrifying."
"You are indeed a prince of excellent quality, and the license holder officially values you, and it is not without reason..."
At this point, the old woman changed the subject:
"But your shortcomings are also obvious and fatal - you are too arrogant."
Jiang dived in the mud, half submerged and half floating, motionless.
"Although you do have some pretentiousness, that's just your illusion. In the super-species world, those who ignore hierarchical rules and go above and beyond usually end badly."
As the old woman spoke, she took a few steps closer to Jiang Qian, took out a prop figurine used to contain the body, broke it from the middle, and threw it towards Jiang Qian.
The human figurines consciously floated towards Jiang Qian, and their "limbs separated", and they stuck to Jiang Qian piece by piece...
Mixed with muddy water, it is easier to work.
The old woman's pet reticulated python was coiled around, surrounding the two of them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this point, it seems that there is no way to turn around.
"Come back, dragnet."
Seeing that the figurines were about to be completed, the old woman said to her pet.
However, her beloved pet did not respond.
"Um?"
The old woman with the crazy python looked sideways and saw the giant python with its head raised, swallowing the snake's message rapidly, its vertical pupils condensed into a thin line, and it stood frozen.
"This is……"
An ominous premonition rose in the old woman's heart.
She suddenly found that her body seemed to be stuck and it was difficult to move!
Looking intently at her feet, she saw countless pairs of small hands poking out of the muddy water, tightly grasping her ankles and skirts, climbing up slowly but irreversibly...
The old woman made a sound in her heart.
Is it an illusion, or a tool for manipulating strange energy?
At her age and experience, she is no longer frightened by sudden and exaggerated things, and she is simply afraid of the power that drives this phenomenon - the strange energy.
The mud soup exploded!
The crazy old woman was far away from her previous position in an instant, and the coarse linen clothes on her body made a sound in the air.
However, she looked down and saw that the "hands" grabbing her lower body were still following her, climbing up slowly, and some of the "hands" had already passed through her clothes...
"Uh... get out of here!"
She was shaken and fear grew, so that she had no time to think about when she was attacked, so she urgently used various means to try to prevent the approach of "those hands"!
Explosions swept through one after another, throwing the mud soup in the swamp into the air and falling again.
Under the violent turbulence, the human figurines that Fang wrapped Jiang Qian in also showed several obvious cracks, and pieces began to fall off.
Jiang Qian stood up unsteadily from the muddy water, and the "dragon tooth" used to pierce the human figurine was retracted into his body without leaving a trace.
He gasped and took a step, first looked at the reticulated python that seemed to be frozen in place, smiled, and then looked up at the old woman who was going crazy out of thin air:
"It's not me who's arrogant...it's you, old woman..."
The old python woman turned to Jiang Qian with a ferocious expression and shouted with difficulty: "Get them away, you little bastard!"
Jiang Qian was indifferent.
At this time, the body surface of the crazy python old woman is covered with strange sights that cannot be seen by the naked eye: countless hands clinging to her front, back, limbs, head and face!
Some hands had even crossed dimensions, penetrated her clothes, penetrated her flesh, and grabbed the organs in her body... The human organs were squeezed and deformed, and some were already bleeding.
Even the physique and self-healing power of the five powerful people cannot stop the unbridled erosion of strange energy.
The most frightening thing is that all these are not imaginary, they have caused real harm. Whether it is mental or physical.
Be tricky.
This is the first time Jiang Qian has transformed the source of mental pollution stored in his body into high-density, weird energy with offensive attributes.
"Hurry up! Otherwise...I will make your life worse than death now!"
The old python woman no longer had the calmness and indifference she had when she arrived. She struggled desperately, and the muddy water surrounding Jiang Qian began to move again.
The engulfing force of nature: the swamp.
Slow and cruel.
The old python woman is confident. She is in a swamp environment, and no matter how difficult the prey is, she will never be able to escape.
Qianlong should not use any resistance, even if it is a shocking method such as strange energy, it will only delay his capture.
In other words, although she was suffering now, it was far from a situation where her survival was in danger.
However, Jiang Qian's unmoved eyes still made her heart beat.
"From the very beginning, you have been unable to kill me... Let me tell you why, Lord Protector."
As he spoke, Jiang Qian quickly avoided the mud rushing towards him, spread his wings and rushed into the air.
After dodging several times, he actually stood on top of the reticulated python!
Like the old python woman, this giant python is also covered with "hands" that ordinary people can't see. Some of these hands are clinging to the surface of the snake's scales, and some have been submerged inside the python's body, especially at the "seven inches" of the snake.
In this area, countless hands are crowding inside and outside, presenting a strange scene of "grabbing the throat".
Jiang Qian looked down at the old woman who was "poisoned" from a high position, and slowly uttered a few words:
"Mimetic hourglass."
The python old woman's pupils tightened, and a trace of panic flashed across her almost distorted face.
"I have seen this environmental prop in internal information. The inside of the hourglass is sand, trapping the prop user and the target in one place, and using its inner desert environment to assist the prop user in hunting. As time goes by, the sand resources
As it gradually disappears, the effectiveness of the props will also continue to weaken until it is destroyed."
"This is the prop information introduced in the information. If it were just like this, things would be much simpler."
Jiang Qian chuckled and continued:
"But you who are good at making banned magic weapons are obviously not satisfied with its existing functions. In addition to sand, this prop also incorporates another natural element: water."
"In addition to being able to present a desert environment, the combination of water and sand can also create a swamp that complements the natural forces you control!"
"If my inference is correct, the hourglass flipped once before entering the 'swamp' state. In other words, the props that were supposed to be destroyed by then created a new environment at that moment."
As he said that, Jiang Qian glanced in the direction where Sha Jin disappeared:
"Is this the reason why that guy is unyielding? He is convinced that I can't escape from here, because the function of the mimic hourglass has been greatly developed, and even the time limit of 'breaking it by then' has been magically modified."
"Just like an out-of-control gene, I think the price of this item should be quite high, right?"
The python old woman's lips trembled, and the wrinkled skin on her cheeks were distorted by pain and annoyance: "You said so much, you are just trying to delay time..."
"Yes." Jiang Qian admitted frankly, "According to my observation, your swamp is being diluted... If you guessed it correctly, with the loss of sand and soil, after the swamp state, it is the environment I am best at."
The old woman's face continued to be gloomy: "So this weird energy..."
"Well, it was also the moisture in the swamp that forced you to get infected."
Jiang Qian, standing on top of the giant python, wrote lightly.
Looking around, the muddy water the two of them were in was filled with strange things and heavily polluted.
