Strange Stories

Chapter 535: Yuanqiu Mountain Giant Snake

At some point, the fields ahead disappeared and the cabin was surrounded by a forest.

The waterfall hanging on the mountain kept pouring down, so there was another stream running through the forest, not far in front of them, with water drops jumping on the rocks, twinkling like stars in the moonlight. It was unknown how many years it had flowed here, and the rocks by the stream were covered with moss and had long been polished smooth.

The whole stream is filled with spiritual energy. Those who don’t know would think it is water vapor and cold air, but it also exudes a mysterious feeling.

Looking along the stream, the river is still there.

However, the ferry crossing on the river is gone, and the reeds and bamboo forests on both sides no longer look familiar. It seems to be the same river, but also not, or perhaps it is a certain appearance in its history.

As for the water in the river, no one knows where it comes from or where it goes.

"Where did the waterfall and stream come from?" The fox was surprised. "Hey! This place has changed!"

"Chirp!" the sparrow also said.

"Senior brother..."

The junior sister looked at Lin Jue.

She knew that Taoist Master Jiang had reminded them a long time ago that perhaps Fuyao would get the "opening of the door" from the former celestial being, and she also knew the reason why her senior brother did not bring Fuyao here. Therefore, although they had waited for that opportunity here, she could not be happy for a moment, but felt worried instead.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Lin Jue said, "Master Jiang is right. After all, he was once a celestial being, so he might not be so stingy."

With a creaking sound, the thatched hut in the middle was pushed open, and the eldest brother came out wearing a Taoist robe to check.

"Huh? Where's my land?"

The old farmer looked around, very surprised.

At this moment, the fox and the civet cat turned their heads and looked towards the night ahead.

The forest should be dark at night, but here, there are always dots of light fluttering, mostly the same color as moonlight, everywhere, flashing by, making it look extremely dreamy.

"Is that something reflecting the moonlight?"

"No." Lin Jue said, "It's because the spiritual energy here is too dense. It's not even enough to condense into mist. It actually shows substance, so that it flashes with spiritual light under the moonlight."

There was another rustling sound in the forest.

Suddenly there was a sound of wind, and a huge black shadow appeared.

The sparrow on the junior sister's shoulder flapped its wings first and flew high quickly. Almost in the next instant, the junior sister flew upside down into the air, as light as a feather, brushing past the black shadow below to avoid the attack. She then turned around in the air and waved the whisk in her hand.

Brush it!
The snow-white dust tail suddenly stretched out, and a ball rolled up in front of it, which slammed down on the person who was coming.

Only then did she see that it was a black snake whose head alone was as big as the hut, and it was opening its huge mouth and biting towards her like lightning.

Those hook-like fangs look like great swords.

The attack missed and the black snake quickly retracted.

The junior sister also floated down lightly.

The force she hit it with was not strong enough to hurt it. It just told it that it was not easy to mess with and gave it a chance. This is the Taoist virtue of benevolence.

"It hasn't left yet!"

The fox said to them.

A few people naturally knew it.

Not only did the black snake not leave, but there were also more rustling sounds in the forest.

Suddenly, there was another sound of wind explosion.

It’s the same black snake from before!

This time it's the fox's turn to meet the enemy!

It jumped forward, and after jumping a few feet, it suddenly turned into a huge six-tailed white fox. Even after jumping so far, its body was still flying forward, and its tail almost swept past the people.

The black snake was as fast as lightning, and the fox was even more agile. It spit a breath of cold air into the open bloody mouth, grabbed with its claws, stepped into the air, and the sky was full of its force field. It actually pressed the huge black snake's head into the stream.

Suddenly, water splashed everywhere, the stream dried up, and the black snake in the forest behind swayed its body, crushing countless trees.

Although the fox is weak, it is relative. It naturally dares not fight with the black dragon. However, although the black snake in front of it is half as long as the black dragon, it is obviously not the same thing as the real dragon.

Boom! The black snake twisted its body and tried to wrap itself around it, but the fox seemed to have eyes on its back and dodged it with a light jump. It slapped the fox again when it landed.

"Slap it!"

Xiaohua, who had more experience in fighting snakes, shouted from the sky.

At this moment, another giant snake rushed over from the left, this time it was a spotted giant snake.

The junior sister took a step forward, made a gesture and pointed!
The mountain is falling!
Bang! The spotted giant snake was caught off guard, and its head immediately hit the ground, rubbing out mud several feet high.

There was also a giant green snake biting from the right.

The eldest brother made a hand gesture with one hand and pushed with the other hand. Immediately, a fire dragon as big as the green snake rushed out and crashed directly into the green snake's open mouth.

The flames shattered and the green snake retracted.

The air was filled with the stench of scalding and the aroma of meat, a strange mixture that was blown away by the night wind.

However, these giant snakes were too big and powerful. Although they were not spirits and could not cast spells, they were obviously nourished by the spiritual energy of this place. Neither the mountain pressure of the junior sister nor the spiritual fire of the senior brother could kill these giant snakes at once, and they did not even cause much damage to them. The spotted giant snake, whose head was pressed down by the mountain pressure, quickly raised its head, but it could not raise it high. It did not know what was going on, so it was not afraid. It just retracted its head and continued to stare at the junior sister, ready to attack.

The green snake whose mouth was burned by the spiritual fire became even more ferocious. As soon as it retracted, it bit the eldest senior brother again.

The eldest brother jumped lightly, and the green snake smashed the wooden house behind him.

The firewood flew several feet high and scattered all over the ground.

But before the firewood fell, another giant spotted snake's bloody mouth rushed over again. The junior sister turned into a breeze to avoid it. At the same time, taking advantage of the momentum of the giant spotted snake, when she appeared again, she naturally fell on the heart of the giant spotted snake.

The junior sister moved the whisk to her left hand and raised her right hand high, intending to slap it down to break the scales here first.

The eldest brother waved his sleeves and drew out a huge fire dragon, which lit up the night sky. It rose into the air and turned around, ready to compete with the green snake for the distinction between dragon and snake.

The firelight and the moonlight were reflected in the stream at the same time, creating stunning splashes on the water. The six-tailed white fox pressed the black snake's head back into the stream and was breathing cold air towards its head, almost freezing its entire head.

The two men and the fox fought the giant snake so fiercely that even the sparrows flapping their wings in the air became anxious, and the greyhound kept barking at Lin Jue's feet.

These giant snakes are also smart. They bite the fox, the junior sister, and the senior brother, but they just don’t attack the immortals.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Amid the barking of dogs, a slight sound of wind could be heard.

The little dog was stunned, then shut up and looked up.

The Taoist raised his hand, opened his mouth, and spit out something gently.

A stream of yellow smoke came out of his mouth.

The yellow smoke touched the giant spotted snake on the left, and began to spread out from the middle of its body, forming a mass of khaki stone texture, and quickly spread out. Once it turned into this color, it immediately became unable to move - in just a breath of time, the giant spotted snake's entire body was turned into stone, and it was frozen in the posture of turning back to bite the junior sister.

Its fangs are like swords, and its mouth is huge enough to swallow an elephant. It looks lifelike and terrifying.

The Taoist spit again softly.

The green snake was competing with the fire dragon in the sky, and was unexpectedly touched by the yellow smoke. It quickly began to petrify and was frozen into a huge stone snake sculpture with its mouth open and biting towards the sky.

The third puff of yellow smoke came out——

The black snake was being beaten by the fox. As it struggled, it swung its tail and hit the yellow smoke in the air.

"Zi..."

The black snake started from its tail, turned into stone, and quickly spread to its body.

It raised its head high, trying to get rid of the cold air breathed by the fox, but it never expected that the stone had already spread to its neck. Once its head was raised, it could no longer lower it.

"what?"

The six-tailed white fox was stunned, shaking its head up and down and left and right, and looking from different angles, it saw that the black snake had indeed turned into a stone sculpture. It stretched out its claws and patted it again to make sure it was a stone sculpture and that it was not moving. It even opened its mouth and exhaled two more breaths of cold air before turning back to look at Lin Jue.

"That's it." The Taoist said, "Although these snakes are big, they have no intelligence and only act on instinct. When we come to someone else's place, it's best not to kill them right away."

The greyhound stood at Lin Jue's feet, stunned. It kept looking at Lin Jue with disbelief, then at the three giant snakes, switching back and forth.

The junior sister was holding the whisk and was also very surprised.

Is this the ability of immortals?
Just by exhaling, such a huge snake turned into a stone sculpture!

Such a small stone sealing technique, when it came to my senior brother, it turned out to be such a powerful skill!

No wonder there are rumors in the world that so many great gods can have a lofty status by relying on just one ability and one magic weapon.

"Brother, you have great skills!"

"It has to be a junior fellow apprentice..."

"Don't brag too much. After you become a true Taoist, you will naturally have this ability." Lin Jue said as he walked forward. "Even if you practice the Five Elements Spiritual Technique, you will learn it more deeply than me. When the time comes, you will definitely be able to use it more powerfully than me."

The Taoist looked up at the stream, then followed the stream to the mountains and waterfalls ahead, and slowly walked forward.

"With so many giant snakes, it looks like this is indeed Yuanqiu Mountain!"

"Ah."

"These giant snakes seem to be nocturnal. In the stories I heard, most people who came here during the day did not encounter giant snakes." The eldest brother said, "Luckily, the person who moored here at night in the story I heard before walked to the stream and quickly retreated, otherwise it would be dangerous."

"Maybe." Lin Jue nodded, "Maybe they don't attack everyone."

"Also a possibility……"

Three people and a fox, along with a small dog and a sparrow, followed the stream.

Another giant snake came over after hearing the sound, and Lin Jue just let out a breath, adding another giant stone sculpture to the mountain.

This stone sealing technique does not necessarily hurt people. If it is practiced to a high level, it can even seal a person in a stone for five hundred years, and the person will still be alive after five hundred years. This shows how mysterious it is.

The same is true for these giant snakes. After a period of time, their magic power will fade and the mystery will dissipate, and they will naturally return to their original bodies.

It's a pity that this is a giant snake, not an animal or bird. Otherwise, Lin Jue would rather use the method of gathering animals and taming birds. He only needs to say a word, with almost no effort or magic power, to perform many spells suitable for fighting at the right time, and even things that may not be possible in a fierce fight.
