The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 154: The Snake Catcher

The green snake listened in silence.

What the Magpie Fairy said made sense. It had nothing to do with right or wrong, it was just a different choice. If one was just a bystander, one could naturally be as tolerant as possible. However, the Green Snake was an eyewitness and her interests were at stake. Because of the Magpie Fairy's choice, she fell into danger, and the White Snake's life or death is now unknown. Although the Magpie Fairy later found Ding Lin, what had happened could not be avoided, and the damage was done.

The Green Snake was not a saint, so how could she not be dissatisfied? However, her cultivation was far inferior to that of the Magpie Immortal, and she was absolutely inferior to him. In fact, she should not have shown such silent resistance, as it was already an insult to the Magpie Immortal. However, the Green Snake had just formed her elixir not long ago, and the seven souls had been born in too short a time. She had clear likes and dislikes, so it was difficult for her to conceal her emotions. She was able to endure as much as possible by remaining silent like this.

Quexian naturally understood that with her level of cultivation, she had reached her limit when she said this. If it weren't for Ding Lin, she wouldn't even bother to explain. Now that things had developed to this point, if the white snake could survive, her relationship with the two snakes might be able to be mended in the future, but the rift would never be repaired.

……

The White Snake was fleeing, desperately trying to escape. The crab monster behind her had the same level of cultivation as her, and was even slightly weaker than her. But there was nothing she could do, she was too badly injured. The blow from the soul level, although it was only residual force, was not something she could easily bear. The White Snake was actually already at the end of her strength. The gap in realm was like a chasm. She should have collapsed long ago if she fled with such injuries. She could hold on until now only because of her strong will and a sense of determination.

She was unwilling to accept this. She had practiced so hard until now, and her soul was finally within sight, but now she was going to die like this?

Hold on for a while.

Hold on a little longer.

Run further away...

Maybe there will be a turning point.

"choke!"

The white snake held the sword in both hands and barely blocked the crab monster's attack. The demonic energy in its body had long been exhausted, and its body was full of holes. Every time it moved, its muscles felt like they were being crushed. A huge force rushed into its body, and the white snake groaned, but it finally took advantage of the momentum and floated away again, able to live a little longer.

She squeezed her Dantian with all her strength, and the surface of the inner elixir had already broken. But how could the dried-up spring be revived again by squeezing?

There can only be silence.

The white snake looked up, and the sun was setting. In her vision, the background was bloody, and a small mountain village was looming in the distance. The curling smoke rose up, which was a kind of vitality that had never been seen in the deep mountains. She didn't know when she had escaped from Qingcheng Mountain and came to the world of the human world. The spirit that was about to dissipate in her heart was shocked. If she persisted for a while longer and escaped to the mortal world, the turbid air might be able to cover her body and escape this disaster.

The white snake lowered its head again, but its vision suddenly became blurry, its body swayed, and it fell to the ground.

The tenacity of will may have no limits and be able to transcend the flesh, but it is ultimately just an abstract concept. In the final analysis, it is the flesh that drives the behavior of living beings. When the flesh can no longer sustain, persistence has reached its limit.

Under the setting sun, the white snake's body uncontrollably revealed its true form, a huge white python with broken scales and wounds all over its body. Even though she had a strong heart, she couldn't help revealing a trace of despair in her eyes. All roads had come to an end. The white snake spit out her tongue, recalling the fragment she had occasionally learned during her childhood adventure. Then, as her thoughts turned, her body suddenly became illusory. When the illusion disappeared, her huge snake body had been reduced from dozens of feet to only a few feet. The fragment had no effect, and she could only make her body smaller. Then the white snake moved with great effort and got her shrunken body into a crevice. She had no strength left to escape, and this was her last resort.

Dozens of miles away, the crab demon stood on a high place, looking at the curling smoke from cooking in the distance. His eyes flashed, and then his body changed. The hideous look on his face disappeared, and his head became bald, revealing a seemingly honest face. The crab claws on his arms also changed into hands, but after all, his cultivation had not yet reached the level of primordial spirit, and he could not completely transform into a human. After his face and limbs changed, his trunk further degenerated, and he completely looked like a crab, which was wide and extremely uncoordinated.

The crab monster thought for a while, he raised his hand and touched his bald head, then he turned around and wrapped himself in a yellow monk's robe. However, even so, the abnormality of his body was still abrupt. A flash of light appeared in his palm, and he pulled out a cassock. He turned around and put the cassock on himself. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand again, and in the light of light, he held out a bowl. This outfit was the outfit left by an old monk who came into the mountains and was eaten by him by chance a few years ago. He found it interesting. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now. With this disguise, he finally completely hid the characteristics of a monster. The crab monster looked down at himself and smiled with satisfaction.

After all, the outside of the mountain is different from the inside. Under the rule of Zhengyi, Haiyan is peaceful. It is better for monsters like him to hide when they walk outside.

The crab demon stood on a high place, took square steps and tried to walk. His body was straight and he looked funny and ridiculous, but he obviously did not think so. He was quite satisfied. He paced a few more steps and felt that he was a monk. After dressing up, he looked around and slowly locked onto a direction. A smile appeared on his face, "There." Then, he paced in square steps and walked towards the rocky beach.

The White Snake could no longer hold on any longer. She curled up in the crevice of the rock. Affected by her flesh, her consciousness became fuzzy and she seemed to be falling into a deep sleep. She held on with all her might and did not sink again, but she was inevitably still in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

The crab demon obviously also had some secret skills. The demonic energy in the white snake had been exhausted, but he still found it accurately. It was precisely because of his skills that he dared to fight and stop along the way. The white snake could persist for so long, maybe it was because he did it deliberately to give the white snake hope and avoid the white snake from gamble everything and fight to the death with him. It would only take a little more time, but it could avoid injuries, so why not do it.

And now, it is finally time for the final harvest.

The crab monster stopped on the rocky beach, which should be a dry riverbed. He looked around, as if he was unsure of the white snake's location. Feeling the crab monster approaching, the white snake suddenly woke up. She had no strength left in her body. She could only stare at the crab monster intently, feeling nervous.

Directly opposite the rocky beach is a small forest with lush vegetation. Apart from that, the three sides are empty.

The crab monster looked around and, seemingly unintentionally, walked slowly towards the huge rock where the white snake was hiding.
