The heat wave engulfed the entire clearing in an instant, and even the bushes in the distance were affected and burned to ashes. Tianlan and others were also disgraced in this wave of attacks.
Fortunately, there was Ningyun as a buffer, and their spiritual energy was not weak, so they did not suffer any substantial damage. As for Ye Yi, who should have been the worst, he was thrown far away by the heat wave, with life and death in his hands. The sword was placed across his chest, miraculously blocking out most of the heat wave, and was only pushed away by the heat wave.
This is also due to the Yin and Cold characteristics of the Sword of Life and Death. Otherwise, even if Ye Yi could survive, he would still be half disabled. However, with the protection of the Sword of Life and Death, he only suffered a little scratch.
The fiery red python's eyes turned red and it made a harsh hissing sound angrily, as if it was complaining about why these "little bugs" were so tenacious and couldn't even be killed by its innate skills.
Nangong Kui immediately raised his bow and arrow and aimed at the right eye of the fiery red python. He looked serious. At this distance, he was 100% sure of hitting it.
Seeing his movements, Tian Lan's heart tightened, and he immediately stopped and said, "Nangong, no,"
Nangong Kui was stunned and glanced at him doubtfully. After all, he still didn't shoot the arrow in his hand. He just continued to aim at Snake Eyes, ready at any time.
Just kidding, the flaming red python is Li Wuqing's life-threatening problem. Although this snake took the initiative to cause unreasonable troubles, if it really caused irreparable harm to it, Li Wuqing would definitely come to them to settle the score regardless of that time, let alone Yunxiao. Even the face of the King of Heaven would not be given to him. Of course, Tianlan didn't know Li Qingqing's scruples. What he was worried about was that after knowing Li Wuqing's identity, it was hard to say which side Ling Jiutian would side with. If If these two masters join forces to cause trouble for them, it will really be like "the sky is not responding and the earth is not working".
Tao'er ran to Ye Yi and helped him up. Seeing that he was not seriously injured, she breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. How could Ye Yi's careless personality notice the subtle thoughts of his daughter's family? He reluctantly stood up and said He put his hand on Tao'er's shoulder, and held the blood-stained sword of life and death tightly in his other hand.
Tian Lan could read the anger of Lie Huo Hong Python, and said loudly: "Fire Red Python, please stop, I have what you want, and I can give it to you."
Although the snake-calling grass belongs to Ling Jiutian, his purpose of collecting the snake-calling grass is to get the truth out of Li Wuwu's mouth. Now that the purpose has been achieved, the snake-calling grass is naturally of little use to him, and Li Qingqing snatches the call. The purpose of the Snake Grass is also to give it to the Fiery Red Python. If this is the case, it would be the same if he gave it directly to the Fiery Red Python.
But the flaming red python had just been injured and was in a very bad mood. How could he listen to it easily and reply: You hurt my skin and body, and it is difficult to atone for your sins by death. I can get grass.
Tian Lan frowned, the Fiery Red Python meant to kill them first, and then grab the Snake Calling Grass... Based on the pure law of the jungle, although spiritual beasts are very intelligent, they grow in nature after all. The concept of natural selection is the survival of the fittest. The flaming red python has followed Li Qingqing for so many years and has somewhat restrained itself in the human world, but it still easily loses its rationality when it encounters something that makes it angry...
However, since communication is possible, negotiation is possible.
Tianlan looked directly at the fiery red python and said: "You must understand that although your power is strong enough, if you are aggressive, the four of us are not easy to bully. At least, you must leave half of the snake body and a pair of eyes. , If you don’t believe it, you can look at the sword marks on your body and think about the pros and cons for yourself,”
His voice was calm, but the threat in his words was self-evident. This was not groundless. With Nangong Kui's magic shooting skills, he couldn't guarantee anything else. At least he could blind the fragile snake eyes of the flaming red python. , and Ye Yi's Life and Death Sword is the nemesis of the Fiery Red Python. If he really wants to fight hard, the Fiery Red Python will definitely not get any benefits, and will definitely end up in ruins.
The fiery red python did not move, its eyes glowed faintly, as if it was thinking about the possibility of Tianlan's words, the sword marks left by the sword of life and death on its body were still burning with pain, and Nangong Kui's arrow was locked like a thorn in the back, all of which It greatly shook its determination.
Tian Lan continued: "I am certain that you came here secretly behind Li Qingwu's back. Li Qingwu is now being chased by senior Ling Jiutian and will never come back for a while. You have no reinforcements. Even if you come back, you still have to go." Facing Senior Ling, the situation will only get worse for you,"
When the Fiery Red Python heard the words "Ling Jiutian", he shrank back and showed a look of extremely human fear in his eyes. It seemed that he was really afraid of Ling Jiutian.
Seeing that the fiery red python seemed to be moving, Tianlan took out the snake-calling oil packet in his arms and said with a smile: "We are familiar with Senior Li. For his sake, we don't want to have a quarrel with you. If you agree to let it go, , this Snake Calling Grass should be given to Senior Li and you, I don’t know what to do,”
The flaming red python spit out a letter, and the snake looked at the snake-calling grass, wishing to stretch out a hundred hands to grab it. It made a slight hiss, which meant: "Hand over the snake-calling grass."
Tian Lan did not put forward any conditions this time, and threw the oil bag in his hand into the mouth of the flaming red python. The python couldn't wait to pounce on it, bit the oil bag in its mouth, and turned to stare at Tian Lan and others fiercely.
Ye Yi and others were a little anxious. How could Tian Lan hand over the chips so easily? Let alone the fact that this snake had no appearance of agreeing at all. Even if he agreed, would the credibility of a snake be of any use? The Snake Calling Grass should be the last resort. The life-saving talisman is the right one.
But Tian Lan naturally has his reasons for doing this. Now that the negotiation has been completed, the next thing to do is to show sincerity. He took the initiative to hand over the Snake Calling Grass as the greatest sincerity. He knows very well that whether it is a spiritual beast or a fairy Regardless, they all hate human beings' cunning and can't believe it easily. The same is true for the Fiery Red Python. It doesn't believe anyone except Li Qingwu. So, if it wants to make the Fiery Red Python believe it, it must make some gestures. .
In fact, the Fiery Red Python is now in a strong position, and Tianlan and the others have no decision-making power. Sooner or later, the Snake Calling Grass belongs to the Fiery Red Python. In this case, why not be a favor and hand it over to it.
The flaming red python held the snake-calling grass in its mouth, made an indistinct hissing sound, then turned around and dived into the ground while everyone was speechless, disappearing without a trace.
Tian Lan had a strange look on his face, and after a long while he shook his head and said to everyone, "Is everyone okay?"
Nangong Kui looked in admiration and said: "Brother Tianlan, you are so powerful. You coaxed the snake away in just a few words. This is amazing. How did you understand what it said?"
"It's nothing, it was everyone's strength that scared it away," he said calmly, deliberately avoiding Nangong Kui's question in his words, as if he didn't want to go too deep into the topic, because once he mentioned Zhu Yu, he would inevitably bring up the golden hair in his heart. girl……
Tao'er angrily stamped her little feet and said, "If Uncle Ling were here, there would be no way for this little snake to be arrogant."
Ye Yi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Girl Tao, what do you think Uncle Ling promised you?" He remembered what Tao'er shouted at Ling Jiutian's back, and seeing how angry she was at this moment, he couldn't help but be puzzled.
Tao'er gritted her teeth and said, "What else could it be? Of course I asked him to go to the East China Sea with us. I didn't expect that this old man would actually let him go. Humph, I want him to look good next time I see you."
Tianlan couldn't help but look at her more. After all, it turned out that it was for the trip to the East China Sea. Unfortunately, if Ling Jiutian had accompanied him, there would have been more guarantees on the journey. But now that Ling Jiutian has gone to pursue Li Qingwu, there will be no time during this period. Maybe accompany them to the distant East China Sea.
Ye Yi scratched his head, helpless, and then said: "By the way, Tianlan, what does that snake's last series of hisses mean? It seems to be saying something."
"Well," Tian Lan nodded, with a little emotion in his eyes, "it told me the purpose of coming to snatch the snake grass. It said that the power of the snake grass can be converted into another kind of energy after it is swallowed by it. This This kind of energy can slightly improve people's talents, especially those who practice fire spells..."
He paused and then said: "I think it has probably been using this power to help Li Qingqing. Otherwise, how can we explain that Li Wuqing was able to reach the seven-star realm in just twenty years?" It turned out that it was not just Li Qingqing who was against Li Wuqing. The fiery red python has a special liking, and the red python itself also cares deeply about Li Wuqing...
It is said that snakes are cold-blooded animals, but sometimes, cold-blooded animals are more affectionate than some humans. On the mainland, humans are almost the masters of the continent. However, in the face of absolute interests, there are still some people who kill brothers, kill fathers, and sell wives. There may be many reasons to defend the phenomenon of abandoned children, but they cannot explain the selfishness in the dark side of human beings.
Whether others want to live or die is fine as long as it doesn't affect me. It has nothing to do with me. This is a common problem among people. There is no right or wrong in it, because this is a side of human beings who are born. People want to live. Regardless of whether they eat or drink water, they always ask for help from the outside world. After surviving, they want to live a better life, so they begin to fight for fame and fortune, engage in intrigues, and endless chaos. Thousands of years of history have profoundly illustrated this point. There is no need to deny it, and it cannot be denied: this is human beings.
As for selfless people, there are only two types in this world, one is a hypocrite and the other is a psychopath.
At least Tianlan never thinks of himself as a selfless person. He can risk life and death for others, but that is because others have given him reciprocal friendship. It can never be a unilateral contribution on his part. He can sacrifice himself for others, but it must be worth his risk. , a person who is worthy of giving up his life, any normal person would not be able to go to pieces for a stranger.
However, many times, even brothers and sisters become worthless in the face of interests. As the saying goes, there are no relatives in heaven. Human beings still have six relatives who do not recognize them, let alone animals that abide by the laws of the jungle.
He felt a little ironic. The flaming red python was obviously just a snake. At this moment, he actually felt that this cold-blooded animal was much more real, much cuter, and much greater than many hypocritical people.
