Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 22: Viper Heart (Part )

Gu Jingnian thought he had seen it wrong, and actually felt that Huang Hu's emotionless eyes carried a hint of confusion.

The subtle difference between numbness and confusion should not be detectable with just a quick glance.

However, the giant viper that was sucking the yellow tiger suddenly stopped, raised its five heads high, roared unwillingly, twisted its huge body, and turned to suck other leeches.

Huang Hu was on the verge of exploding.

The leech connected to his abdomen grew larger, and more blood flowed into his body, causing him to swell.

Another viper head grew out of his belly. It was very small at first, only as thick as a whip.

There were bursts of low hissing sounds in the valley. Countless vipers gathered around Huang Hu and crawled in front of him, allowing the viper's head, as thick as a whip, to bite them and suck their flesh and blood.

The tiny snake head gradually grew thicker until it was the same size as the other five snake heads.

Finally, the six snake heads looked up to the sky together and roared like the king of beasts, and the echo reverberated in the valley.

But it has not yet truly transformed, and more leeches gather around it, allowing it to feed.

It seemed to be more spiritual, knowing that growing too fast was not good for it. From time to time it would turn its head back to look at the host behind it, wanting to stop eating.

However, the raging flames in the valley forced it to get rid of its tiny mortal body as soon as possible.

No matter how powerful the giant viper is, it is restricted by its host that only has two legs and can only become prey in this situation.

Its body grew bigger and bigger, making the burly yellow tiger look smaller and smaller.

Little by little, it grew out of the yellow tiger's body.

Finally, when the yellow tiger was about to burst, a snake tail shed out of its shell.

Like a pupa emerging from its cocoon as a butterfly, it is no longer a leech. It has finally gotten rid of the habits of corpse leeches and become a male viper.

It became agile, rushed into the valley, spread out its six heads, and roared intimidatingly at the silver-armored guards on the cliff.

"Fire arrows!"

The next moment, thousands of arrows were fired from the cliff, and the overwhelming arrows fell like locusts.

The six-headed Viper had a huge body and great strength, but unfortunately it was trapped deep in the valley and could not attack the tiny mortals above.

It could only ram the mountain wall frantically, trying to stop the rain of arrows by shaking the earth.

Seeing the rain of arrows coming, Gu Jingnian struggled and climbed up with difficulty. Looking up, he saw a huge snake body above him blocking most of the arrows.

He saw Master Ma running stealthily not far away, with his back hunched.

Master Ma picked up an arrow, stained the arrowhead with his own blood, then ran to the tail of the six-headed viper and thrust the arrow into it with force.

The six-headed viper was furious and swung its tail, knocking Master Ma away heavily.

A snake head twisted, looked towards the valley bottom, swooped down, and the blade suddenly stopped in front of Gu Jingnian.

Its cold eyes, with only the whites of the eyes, seemed to look deeply at Gu Jingnian.

Then it swept his tail and swept him into the crack between the rocks.

For a moment, Gu Jingnian felt that he had eye contact with the six-headed snake.

It was as if it originally wanted to bite him to death, but then remembered that its heart grew after drinking his blood.

But soon, Gu Jingnian told himself that this idea was ridiculous.

Gu Jizu drank so much of his blood, but he didn't become closer to him because of it. If this is the case for humans, what about cold-blooded beasts?

What is certain is that people who drink his blood cannot absorb his self-healing ability.

At Renxin Pharmacy, leeches also drank his blood but no changes were seen.

Gu Jingnian narrowed his eyes and saw the six-headed viper shake off the arrow on its tail. In an instant, the small wound seemed to heal quickly.

At least, with his excellent eyesight, he didn't see any more blood flowing from its tail.

At this time, the five-headed viper living in the giant had grown bigger, and its size was not inferior to the six-headed viper, but it still showed no signs of breaking out of the shell. It seemed to have sensed the extraordinaryness of the six-headed viper, and with a long hiss, it crawled under the giant.

The six-headed viper immediately lowered its head and sucked the flesh and blood of the five-headed viper, and its body grew larger at an extremely terrifying speed.

When it raised its head again, it actually surpassed the height of the valley. It opened its mouth and spit out a cloud of poisonous mist towards the silver-armored guards on the cliff.

Gu Jingnian was lying in the cracks of the rocks watching, and suddenly he felt a longing in his heart.

When he was a child, he wanted to learn the Gu family's martial arts, but Gu Beiming never refused to teach him. Over time, he got used to it. When he saw the six-headed viper today, he felt that it lived a freer life than himself.

On the cliff, the panic of the silver-armored guards was already evident. The whole incident came suddenly, and they were not prepared in advance. The combat power of the six-headed snake was obviously beyond their expectations.

The rain of arrows gradually stopped.

But more fireballs were thrown into the valley.

The fireball was soaked in kerosene. When it hit the six-headed snake, it immediately wrapped around its body and burned. In pain, it had to repeatedly bang its body against the mountain wall in an attempt to put out the flames on its body.

Finally, it couldn't bear it anymore, and it used all its strength to smash heavily against the mountain wall as if to hurt itself.

There was a loud bang, the earth and the sky shook, rocks flew everywhere, and even the cliffs collapsed.

The bodies of the silver-armored guards were wrapped in the rocks and soil, like dead fish in the tide.

The six-headed viper actually killed all the silver-armored guards by himself.

But the flames on its body had not gone out yet, but instead grew bigger and bigger. It had no choice but to spit saliva on itself and roll around in the rocks and soil.

It was already dark, but the valley was still as bright as day and getting hotter and hotter.

The fire in the forest had spread, igniting the trees in the valley and approaching the six-headed viper. The wind occasionally fanned the fire, roasting it so that it had to curl up.

It was exhausted and scarred from the burns.

Seeing this, Gu Jingnian thought for a moment and crawled out from the crevice.

After resting for a long time, his wounds had healed. He found the single-edged sword that was dropped on the ground, and walked closer to the tail of the six-headed viper. He looked around and saw that the body of the five-headed viper that was living in the giant was still there. The blood and flesh inside had been sucked dry, and under the heat wave, it turned into a dry shell.

He crawled into his shell, closed his eyes, and rested.

A flying car appeared above it. Pope carried a sack and began to spread the powder again. With a wave of his palm-leaf fan-sized hand, the powder blew towards the six-headed snake, making it even more sluggish.

Qin'er steered the flying car and slowly landed on the hillside formed by the collapsed cliff. She took out a huge bow and arrows with thick chains on the ends from the flying car. This time, she did not shoot three arrows at once, but controlled the bow with both hands and strummed the string with both hands.

An arrow was shot out, and the wind blew violently.

The arrow hit one of the six-headed viper's eyes and went through it.

At the same time, a figure flew out from the other side of the cliff, took the arrow that pierced the viper's head, and flew around the six vipers.

It was the winged person, she was like a big bird, flying between the raging fire and the giant snake, and tied up the six-headed viper tightly with chains. The chains didn't look very thick, but the six-headed viper couldn't break free no matter how hard it struggled.

The three aliens seemed to have practiced this countless times, and they subdued the exhausted six-headed snake skillfully until it fell down with a loud bang, unable to move.

At this time, Pope and Qin Er controlled the car to the bottom of the valley.

Pope stopped spreading powder and instead kept fanning the wildfire to prevent it from burning where he was.

Qin'er picked up a variety of tools, including a dagger, scissors, pliers, and a basin.

The man in white robe got off the flying car. He must be Liu Ziyan’s master Liu Heng.

Liu Heng did not look like an extraordinary person, nor did he seem to have any advanced martial arts skills. His movements were neither fast nor slow, like an elegant scholar.

He took the dagger from Qin'er's hand, walked to the tail of the six-headed viper, and stabbed it with the knife.

"Master, be careful!"

Qin'er suddenly shouted and threw the scissors and pliers in her hands away, while putting down the basin at the same time.

That is used to hold the snake heart, so it’s best not to get it dirty.

The person who suddenly jumped out was Gu Jingnian.

He knew that Liu Heng would definitely come to take the heart of the snake, so when he saw the opportunity, he rushed out decisively.

The scissors stabbed into Gu Jingnian's body, but he didn't care and chopped down with the knife in his hand, directly attacking Liu Heng.

Pu Bo turned around and saw someone rushing towards him, so he subconsciously raised his hand to fan him away.

However, Gu Jingnian was too close to Liu Heng, and the strong wind blew away Gu Jingnian, and Liu Heng's graceful figure in a white robe was also blown away.

"Don't even move!"

Gu Jingnian deliberately ambushed Liu Heng and grabbed him with one move, putting the knife to his neck.

Surprisingly, Liu Heng did not resist. Instead, he spread his hands to show that he had no weapons, and said calmly and gently: "Don't be impulsive. I have everything you want."

He sounded like he was in his fifties, with a deep, rich voice that made people feel favorable the moment they heard it.

Gu Jingnian glanced at his face and was surprised to find that he was wearing a mask. Perhaps it was because he faked his death and escaped half a year ago.

On the other side, Qin'er saw Gu Jingnian reaching out to take off Liu Heng's mask, and he had secretly put his hands behind his back.

"do not move!"

"Okay, don't move." Liu Heng said with a smile, "You are Gu Beiming's son, one of us."

"is it?"

Liu Heng said: "Not long after you were born, I held you in my arms."

Although Gu Jingnian had anticipated this, it was only at this time that he finally confirmed that Gu Beiming and Liu Heng were accomplices.

"Then do you know who my mother is?"

"It's a long story." Liu Heng said gently, "Let me take the snake's heart, and then we can talk about the past. How about that? You are the son of an old friend, and I have no intention of harming you, otherwise I would have done it last night."

When Gu Jingnian heard this, a hint of murderous intent arose in his heart.

He wanted to find his mother's family, whether by asking Gu Beiming or consulting ancient books, there must be other ways. But if Liu Heng was caught and gave away Gu Beiming, it would be troublesome.

"You tell me first, and then I'll let you go."

"Okay." Liu Heng sighed, "Do you know why the Rui Kingdom sent troops to Nanyue back then?"

Just as Gu Jingnian was about to speak, a gust of wind carrying medicine powder blew towards him, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

But Pu Bo also underestimated his ruthlessness. He slashed the knife in his hand towards Liu Heng's throat. Qin'er was so scared that she quickly threw a dart, hitting Gu Jingnian's hand.

The dagger cut through Liu Heng's mask, leaving a deep bloody mark on his face.

Pu Bo waved his hand again, and this time he blew Qin'er forward. Qin'er pulled Liu Heng back with one hand, tried to grab the knife with one hand, pulled out a dagger and stabbed Gu Jingnian with the other hand, and finally shot out a dart with the last hand.

But she forgot that Gu Jingnian was not afraid of getting hurt. He did not retreat, but rushed forward, taking two heavy blows, and stabbed fiercely with the knife.

"puff."

He actually chopped off one of the arms of the evil girl, and she couldn't help but scream in pain.

The winged man in the air became furious and swooped down, raising a long sword in his hand, wanting to chop off Gu Jingnian's head.

Gu Jingnian looked up and prepared to deal with the attack.

He saw that the six-headed viper had begun to struggle again. So as long as he could hold on, he would have a chance of defeating these people.

The two looked at each other, and the feathered man slashed with his sword.

As the sword wind came, Pu Bo also fanned the flames, attacking Gu Jingnian.

"call--"

However, there was a man standing in front of Gu Jingnian, holding the corner of a blade and blocking the sword.

The fire swept through.

Gu Jingnian was stunned. He looked at the burly figure in front of him and never thought that this person would block an attack for him.

Although the other party once said that -

"Remember, always follow me."
