The sunlight was pale and couldn't see too far. All that could be seen was a huge wild beast that was engrossed in chewing something. Its mouth emitted the sound of bones breaking.
The sound of bones shattering caused Wen Que's hair to stand on end. What was even more terrifying was that he suddenly saw the bottom of the beast's mouth, a pool of fresh blood recklessly flowing out, as if snow had melted. He held his breath, not daring to make a sound.
This raise of his head gave Wen Que a big shock.
It was an ugly monster, the flesh around its mouth had almost all fallen out, revealing scarlet teeth and white teeth. It was biting on half of a substitute bone, and saliva was dripping from the gaps between its teeth along with blood. Its eyes were red and cold.
Wen Que's vision became clearer, and he realized that there was a person lying on the ground! The monster had already eaten a hole in its back and was bleeding profusely. Its intestines were pulled out and a mess of blood was gushing out of its body.
Wen Que never thought that a person's stomach could hide so many intestines.
The monster looked at Wen Que and stared at him for a few seconds. Wen Que really wanted to turn and run, but he lacked the strength to do so. Fortunately, the monster stood still for a while, then turned and ran into a field of white.
Wen Que stood there in a daze, then suddenly approached the corpse, he turned his body and was shocked to find that it was his own face.
Wen Que suddenly woke up. The sky was slightly bright and it was not known when the Da Hui had stepped on him, looking down on him.
He pushed it away only to find that there was a mist of water around him, and the green bamboo forest was rustling loudly.
Weird, you were obviously sleeping on the bed, how did you end up in the mountains?
Wen Que was at a loss, feeling uneasy. That nightmare was scary enough, who knew that when he woke up, he was in the wilderness!
The Da Hui growled and ran away quickly.
It was late autumn, and the bamboo forest was extremely dark and cold. However, he was only wearing a pair of underpants and was slightly trembling. However, he could still endure it. When a person with Wen Family grew up, their body heat would become even stronger. His grandfather and his father would be able to go down to the bottom of the river and fish bare-chested during the coldest period of winter.
Wen Que looked around and realised he was not in the vicinity of the main road. He was surrounded by bamboo forests. His village was surrounded by bamboo forests, so he couldn't tell where he was at all.
He thought that the Da Hui most likely knew the way home, so he hurriedly followed. It was only when his bare feet ached on the ground that he realized he had been injured. The branches and thorns on both sides of his body hurt.
After walking for a short while, the figure of the Da Hui completely disappeared.
Wen Que's mouth was parched, he was so tired that he barely moved. Furthermore, the sky didn't seem to be clear either. A cold wind suddenly blew in the mountain, and the temperature of the entire mountain became colder and colder. Xiao Chen's breath was even turning white.
The bamboo trees gradually became sparse as Wen Que arrived in front of an empty area. The ground was covered with bamboo leaves, and many large, scattered, scarlet red stone materials were placed around a three meter tall stone tower.
He couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know why he had come to the ancient pagoda.
Wen Que looked at the cold Qi that kept on coming out from the ancient pagoda. Although his body was cold, he could not help but be curious and continued to walk forward.
This ancient pagoda had a history of over a hundred years. Behind the ancient pagoda was the forbidden area within the village.
Locking Snake Pond.
Wen Que knew the legend of the Snake Locking Pool.
According to legend, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when the Green Snake Demon acted as an evil spirit within a hundred miles radius, it helped the heavens to destroy the earth. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when the Azure Snake Demon acted as an evil being within a hundred miles radius, it helped the heavens to destroy the earth.
It just so happened that at that time, the troops were in a state of chaos and fleeing for their lives. Even if they tried to escape, they would only end up dying. Since there was no other way, people could only think of a way to exterminate the demons on their own. However, the Green Snake's demonic art was powerful. Countless Demonic Cultivators had died under its hands. At that time, someone found out that Green Snake was in the shape of a woman, and was looking for a practitioner who knew how to dual cultivate in order to advance his demonic art. A handsome Daoist child volunteered and learned the dual cultivation technique. Sure enough, he had successfully approached the Black Serpent Banshee.
This daotong was also powerful. Using today's words, he was both romantic and gentle, quickly gaining the trust of the Banshee. The temple boy had instructed her to go into a pond to cultivate. In fact, she had already arranged an array formation to trap Green Snake when he entered the water. There was a golden rope running through her body within the formation, so it was called the Locking Snake Pond.
At the end, there were three different versions: first, the temple boy became sincere and locked himself in the pool with Green Snake; secondly, the temple boy obtained Green Snake's Profound Qi and flew far and wide; thirdly, the temple boy was actually also a demon. He used a human alchemist to create a formation to subdue Green Snake, and then locked Green Snake in the pool; thirdly, the temple boy told Green Snake the truth at the final moment.
No matter what version it was, there had once been a Green Snake Demon sealed inside the pond.
From ancient times until now, the people of the village had always been protecting the Demon Sealing Pagoda. Since the beginning of time, the pagoda had been repaired, collapsed, and then repaired countless times. When he turned thirteen, the pagoda that was originally being built stopped and did not continue to be built, because it was said that the Azure Snake Demon that was locked in the pond had died and the Demon Sealing Pagoda no longer needed manpower to be built.
Wen Que trembled as he stood in front of the rectangular pool, feeling that it was just too small. He really didn't know how big this Green Snake Demon that was locked in this pond all those years ago was.
However, there was indeed something special about this pool. The surrounding empty ground was filled with withered leaves and withered grass, but the surface of the pool was clean and clean. There was not a single piece of junk on it. It didn't have any source of life, nor did it flow elsewhere. It was extremely clear, and the deeper it went, the darker it became. It was unknown just how deep it went, making people want to fall down.
A hint of green gradually appeared at the bottom of the water. It was like the reflection of a green bamboo reflected in the water. At first, it was straight. The wind wrinkled the pool water, and the reflection of the green bamboo twisted with the wind, like a swimming green snake. However, there was no bamboo on the shore, and the sky was empty. There was only a faint white mist.
Wen Que suddenly felt that the green shadow in the water was basically a snake, but he couldn't help but move forward. His body was already frozen stiff, and just like that, he mechanically walked forward step by step.
Wen Que didn't know how he got into the water, but the moment he regained his senses, he realized that he was already in the water.
In the water below him, there was a lump of light. It was dark green, as if a huge round gem was placed there. It was bigger than the moon he normally saw, but the light was hazy, making it hard to tell what it was.
The water was very cold and it pierced through his pores, but Wen Que was attracted by the light and did not stop. He continued to dive into the water and put all the dangers behind him.
The bright green color attracted his attention. The brilliance seemed to have a quality to it. When he touched it, he could feel its warmth. It was gentle. The green light shone through the back of his hand, illuminating the bones, blood vessels, and muscles of his palms. He could even see the blood flowing through the veins.
He found that the green light was boring into his body, and his whole body gradually became transparent. Like his palm, his flesh and blood had turned into light green water, and his bones had turned a pale black.
A feeling he had never felt before filled his body. The water was no longer cold, but warm. Every inch of his body was being touched by warm tentacles. It was extremely comfortable.
He touched the surface of the water. Every drop of water seemed to be of a certain color. As water dripped down, the edges were suffused with a faint glow.
"Cat …" Someone seemed to be calling his nickname.
He felt that the voice was very familiar. He could not wait to find out where the voice came from. It seemed to come from deeper within the pool.
As he continued to dive, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Only then did he realize that he could breathe freely even in the water.
"Cat …" The voice called again, clearer this time, as if not far in front of him.
Suddenly, he saw a woman's face.
