It’s too difficult to cultivate immortality, so I used a strange beast to clone myself into a Taoist

Chapter 64 Going down the mountain (please read it!!)
  As soon as it was light, Wen Tiexin, Deng Dong and others packed up and got up.

Their eyes turned around, and when they saw Li Qinglin's figure, their eyes suddenly froze, and they were a little surprised and confused.

They didn't know if it was an illusion, but after missing him in the middle of the night, they vaguely felt that Li Qinglin had changed a lot, and he was more energetic. His already strong and muscular body seemed to be bigger, giving him the feeling of a humanoid beast.

Last night, Li Qinglin left alone. Everyone was aware of it, but they all regarded it as a teenager who had just learned martial arts skills. They couldn't control their excitement and practiced hard all night.

Never would I have imagined that it was Li Qinglin who went out to get a promotion.

"Senior Sister Wen Tiexin, should we continue moving forward now to see if there is any chance of slaying the demon, or should we evacuate and return to the palace camp first?"

Deng Dong walked to Wen Tiexin and asked.

Wen Tiexin was a little hesitant when he heard this.

In this team of six, Jiang Xuecai escaped and was killed. The injuries of himself and Deng Dong have not completely improved, although Li Qinglin broke through and became a martial artist, and even seemed to be not weak.

But to face the wrath of the monster beast again with such a team, it is really overestimating our capabilities.

Although he has the Talisman Sword with him, he has no chance to kill the demon.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiexin hated Jiang Xuecai who was buried in the wilderness even more.

Chang Yuren wanted to subconsciously suggest that it would be better for him to focus on long-distance archery, paired with a talisman sword, and adopt a kite-flying strategy, which might have the hope of slaying the demon.

But he suddenly thought of Li Qinglin's archery skills yesterday, which was dozens of feet away and separated by many obstacles, sealing the throat with one arrow.

There was silence immediately.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a slight rustling sound coming from the grass not far away, and there was even the hissing sound of a long snake spitting out a message.

Hearing this, everyone felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They drew their weapons one after another and climbed up the tree to hide.

After a few breaths, venomous snakes suddenly crawled out of the grass. They were as black as the tide, rolling and flapping, but they seemed to be fleeing and did not stay where they were.

"Snake tide? Could it be..."

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Wen Tiexin's eyes.

The few of them looked at each other and exchanged their ideas. Then they jumped and sneaked on the treetops in the direction of the snake tide, and gradually went deeper into Zhuoguang Mountain.

Half an hour later, the flow of snakes gradually thinned out. A hundred feet away, there was the lair of the silver-patterned python, and the overwhelming smell of blood could be heard.

Li Qinglin seemed to have poor physical skills and could not keep up with the movements of the three people in front, so he was left behind at the moment.

Wen Tiexin didn't care too much and kept his spirits up.

After jumping down from the tree, he slowly approached the nest step by step.

In the sparse skylight and the dark lair, through the backlit hole, Wen Tiexin and the others opened their eyes wide and vaguely saw something moving in the lair.

Whoosh... whoosh!

The flint lit the torch, and Wen Tiexin and others stopped a few feet away from the nest. The torches in their hands only illuminated an area as big as a palm.

"What is that thing? Silver patterned python? Dead or alive? Why is there no movement?"

Wen Tiexin looked puzzled.

Chang Yuren thought for a moment, glanced at Li Qinglin, and saw that he had no reaction, then took out a pheasant tail arrow with a fire break from his arms.

The pheasant tail arrow was shot out, the fire light illuminated the darkness along the way, and it flew faintly into the snake's den.

By the light of the fire, everyone saw the cold rock wall, snake corpses on the ground, dim and faded blood, and a...

A giant python carcass with silvery white patterns all over it, but no head.

Most of the flesh and blood of the corpse had been eaten by someone unknown. At this moment, the skin was lying down and shriveled, and the scales were falling off.

"The silver-patterned python is dead?!"

"How is it possible? Who did it?"

"Could it be that other martial arts masters took advantage of it?"

Several people's expressions changed greatly when they saw this. They couldn't believe that the silver-patterned python, which was so ferocious yesterday, turned into such a miserable appearance today.

Although Fubo, the marrow-refining martial artist, turned the tide, and the arrows and crossbows fired in the end were extremely lethal, the silver-patterned python's defensive capabilities were probably far from fatal.

Wen Tiexin and others were in disbelief, but at the same time they became extremely fearful and stood on guard.

There seemed to be something moving and moving inside the body.

Tear... The silver-patterned python's skin scales were pulled apart violently, and a strong forelimb covered with warts poked out. The snake's blood flowed through the gaps in the warts in a zigzag manner, but it was not stained with a trace of filth.

Then, in the horrified gazes of several people, a ferocious toad that was nearly human tall, seven feet wide, jasper-colored, exuding a raging demonic aura, crawled out.

"Yes, is it the Jade Yuan Toad?"

"In the end, it actually picked the peach?"

"It was originally the food under the mouth of the silver-patterned python, but in the end, it actually ate the silver-patterned python?"

Jasper Yuanchan's cold eyes swept across several people, and the figure gradually walking out of the snake's den gradually stretched and twisted, shrouding everyone in it.

Whoosh!
  In the blink of an eye, the evil spirit rises like clouds, and a green water snake swims among them. The faint sound of the river lapping the shore is heard. When the evil spirit dissipates, where is the figure of Jasper Yuan Chan still there?
  It wasn't until Biyu Yuan Chan left that Wen Tiexin and the others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily, and their backs were wet unknowingly.

"It seems... stronger?"

Several people felt a little solemn. When they faced the toad just now, they didn't even have the thought of fighting.

There is a big demon in Zhuoguang Mountain.

This Jasper Yuan Chan was originally a rising star, a foreign monster, but now he stepped on the corpse of his ‘predecessor’ and came to power.

Wen Tiexin and others didn't know whether this mission of slaying demons would be considered a success or a failure.

After a cup of tea, everyone put on their mood, put on their towels, sprayed on insect repellent, and walked step by step into the snake's den.

The stench and pungent smell in the snake's den could not be completely isolated even by a face towel.

But at this moment, everyone seemed not to notice it at all, and quickly came to the body of the silver-patterned python.

The silver-patterned python's most precious internal organs, the snake gallbladder, were gone, and even most of its flesh and blood had disappeared, all being devoured by the Jasper Yuan Toad.

But the silver-patterned python is so big, even the remaining snake meat weighs hundreds of kilograms, not to mention the snake slough, scales and bones.

In the outside world, they are rare treasures!

Everyone's hearts were filled with joy. Deng Dong took out his skinning knife and completely peeled off the snake's slough. He and Wen Tiexin began to dismember the body and cut the snake's meat.

Lan Yu was picking some accompanying herbs in the snake's lair.

Chang Yuren and Li Qinglin were on guard outside the cave.

After a while, everyone began to divide the spoils according to their own needs.

Li Qinglin had secretly obtained the greatest benefit, and now he naturally chose to be humble and stay at the end, only asking for more than fifty kilograms of snake meat and a snake bone.

"Let's go back to the Wangzhai camp first. The smell of snake meat and blood is too strong, and it may attract other monsters. Go back to the camp to deal with it first. Whether it is selling to the Wang family or taking the armored cart and mud dragon back to the city, it will be very convenient."

Wen Tiexin said.

Naturally, no one objected to this.

After leaving the snake den, everyone did not delay and climbed over the mountains and ridges all the way. Chang Yuren hurriedly walked at the front. When encountering wild beasts, he used pheasant tail arrows to drive them away.

As we get further away from Zhuoguang Mountain, the scenery on both sides gradually becomes desolate, and man-made mountain roads can be seen in the distance.

It wasn't until half a day later that Wang's camp could be seen in the distance.

But just as they approached the camp, there were archers hiding on the lookout, ready to shoot.

Everyone stopped.

Behind the roadblock, a martial artist said,

"Who is coming?"

Wen Tiexin raised his identity token high and shouted,
  "We were ordered by the prince to slay demons in Zhuoguang Mountain. Now that the matter is over, we would like to use the camp to rest."

Hearing this, the martial artist came with a knife, checked the identity tokens of several people, looked at the bloody snake corpses, and then waved and said,
  "Go in, the camp has been unstable recently. You guys need to rest for the night and leave tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Deng Dong felt a little strange and asked, "It's not stable. What happened?"

This martial artist recognized Deng Dong. He had greeted him several times in the mansion in the past, and he did not hide it now, saying,

"Last night, three people died in the camp. They were beyond recognition and their internal organs were missing."

"Some people say that there are monsters in the mountains causing trouble and threatening to kill them."
