Opening its bloody mouth like a sharp sword, it shot directly at Gu Zheng, wanting to swallow Gu Zheng in one gulp.
At the critical moment, Gu Zheng bent his waist and fled from the side in a sorry state. His face looked like he had just survived a disaster.
It was really dangerous just now. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been spat out.
Gu Zheng looked back at the hole that had disappeared where he had been and patted his chest with lingering fear.
Just now, when Gu Zheng was meditating, a drop of python's saliva fell from the sky. It was the python that had coiled around the ancient tree and accidentally dripped down. After passing through many obstacles, it finally fell to the ground.
Just a second before the python attacked, it finally dripped to Gu Zheng's side and was sensed by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's first reaction was to wonder why there was a drop of water. Then, an unprecedented feeling of fear emerged. Gu Zheng felt his scalp go numb and his hair stand on end.
Without thinking too much, Gu Zheng moved his legs. Without waiting for his body to completely stand up, he had already fled.
Before he turned his head, he heard a sound and a drop of cold sweat flowed down from his head.
A ferocious big head came out of the hole. The snake spat out the soil in its mouth and its tongue quickly stretched out in the air. Hiss, hiss, it stretched back. Its speed was so fast that it left behind afterimages.
This was an incomparably huge python. Its huge body was as thick as a water bucket, and its body was covered in dense scales that flickered with a cold metallic luster. Its pair of angry triangular eyes were glaring angrily at him. Its bloody mouth was wide open, and saliva kept dripping from the gaps between its teeth.
Too careless. Gu Zheng felt a wave of lingering fear. Being so close to such a big guy and not sensing it at all, it was too dangerous.
The python's tail was still on the tree, hidden among the layers of leaves. He didn't know how long it was.
Hiss, hiss, the python's voice directly entered his mind, letting Gu Zheng know that the python was angry because its prey had escaped.
Such a long python made Gu Zheng have no choice but to pay attention to it. However, although the difference in size was huge, the pressure it gave to Gu Zheng was not strong. At best, it was a Demonic Beast at the level of Jin Xian.
The python did not give Gu Zheng too much time to think. Once it missed, it launched another attack.
Two streams of liquid sprayed out from the mouth, forming a parabola. The pure white liquid was filled with terrifying poison.
Gu Zheng immediately leaped and dodged the two streaks of venom.
With such a long python, it was not easy to determine its weak point. Gu Zheng could only take out an immortal sword and slash at the center of the python with all his might. A sound of metal clashing rang out. Gu Zheng's all-out attack actually failed to break through the python's defense, only causing a few scales to fall off.
At this moment, the snake's head turned and tried to bite Gu Zheng who was in mid-air. Gu Zheng's body quickly sank, dodging the attack and attacking the tongue's jaw.
Hiss, a spark jumped out from the tongue's jaw. Only a few scales fell off.
Gu Zheng was shocked. This python's defense was so strong and thick, other than a few scales, there was nothing.
The python's tail began to exert strength, lifting its entire body up. It kept spitting out its tongue, its entire body coiled around the ancient tree, looking down at Gu Zheng from above.
It seemed that Gu Zheng's attacks had hurt the python. The half meter long snake's tongue attacked Gu Zheng like a long whip.
Fast, too fast. Before Gu Zheng could react, the attack landed on the defensive barrier of the Human Book. The defensive barrier immediately collapsed. How powerful was this attack? If it landed on the Human Book's body, there was no guarantee that there would be a hole in it.
Gu Zheng was directly sent flying by the force. He did not know how many trees he broke in the process, but in the end, he was directly embedded in a tree.
Gu Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood. This python was too strong. Gu Zheng could not beat it. He could only gather his immortal power and prepare to run.
If he did not run, would he be waiting for death? He did not care about saving his immortal power. If he ran now, it would be too late. Did he not see that the python was chasing him again?
The python's eyes were cold. It came down from the tree first. Its huge body landed on the ground, shaking the ground. It wriggled a few times on the ground and quietly chased in the direction of Gu Zheng. It was abnormally agile and extremely fast.
This time, Gu Zheng was dumbfounded. His speed was not as fast as the python. If this continued, he would be caught up sooner or later.
Just like this, a man and a snake began to run here. The man was running, the snake was chasing, one in front and one behind.
Moreover, the python was wriggling back and forth on the ground. Its head was also erratic. It was difficult to throw something to delay time.
One day and one night. During this time, they exchanged blows a few times. Gradually, Gu Zheng realized that although the python's body was impenetrable like steel and its attack power was extremely strong, its brain was not very bright.
Just like those uncivilized wild beasts, back and forth, it only used the same few moves. Spitting venom, attacking with its tongue, and biting with its head.
Of course, Gu Zheng also believed that if it was not a chase, but a positional battle, it would definitely have a trump card. That was the snake's body twisting.
That should not be. At this level, it was not something that uncivilized wild beasts could reach. This was because at the moment of Immortal Ascension, even uncivilized wild beasts would be directly enlightened under the baptism of Heaven and Earth, not to mention those Little Goblin. If there was an opportunity, they would be enlightened in the next second.
Unless, Gu Zheng thought to himself. He dodged another bite from the snake's head. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Zheng opened up a distance again.
Unless something happened later, causing its original consciousness to disappear or be suppressed.
But what was the use of understanding? He had already used many methods to escape from the battle, but at most in a short while, this damned python was still chasing after him.
It was as if it had some kind of enmity with him, chasing after him without letting him go.
Gu Zheng threw another pill into his mouth. His immortal qi was already insufficient to make ends meet. If this continued, it would be too late to replenish it.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng began to think about how he had provoked a ferocious python.
He had not done anything. He had only been in this unfamiliar place for a few days. Other than picking a few fruits, he had used the rest of the time to hurry on his way.
Fruits. Gu Zheng slapped his head hard. Maybe it was because this place was too desolate, and he happened to be there. Maybe at that time, the python felt that it was okay to leave for a while, and in the end, he picked the fruits.
If the python was there at that time, Gu Zheng felt that he would have become the python's dinner.
With a thought, a bright red fruit appeared in his hand. Seeing this, the python behind him roared even louder, and its speed suddenly increased.
As he had expected, this python was really the guardian beast of this tree.
Gu Zheng threw the fruit behind him. In order to throw it further, Gu Zheng also wrapped it with a layer of protection. It would definitely not be damaged by the collision.
Hiss, hiss, the python stretched out its head, and the snake's tongue in its mouth kept spitting out. Looking at Gu Zheng and the fruit flying behind him, it hesitated for a moment. In the end, it went towards the fruit in the distance, giving up on chasing after Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng continued to run for a while. Seeing that there was no trace of the snake behind him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Zheng did not care whether the ground was clean or not. He sat down on the ground. He was exhausted. Meeting a monster that he could not beat and could not run away from really made him physically and mentally exhausted.
This fruit could at least buy Gu Zheng a day's time. Gu Zheng believed in his strength.
He continuously stuffed several different medicinal pills into his mouth and quickly entered a meditative state to recover. Gu Zheng felt that the effect this time was not as good as before. It seemed to have weakened. It was as though he had used up more immortal energy to destroy the black fog.
Although there was a slight difference, Gu Zheng did not mind. In this strange place, if something strange happened, Gu Zheng would not be surprised.
After waiting for nearly a day, Gu Zheng opened his eyes. His body had almost recovered. The trees in the distance began to move and a familiar figure appeared before Gu Zheng.
Hiss, hiss, Gu Zheng took out another fruit. The python's eyes were fixed on the fruit. Following Gu Zheng's movements, its head also swayed.
Go, Gu Zheng repeated the same trick. The fruit in his hand disappeared like a shooting star.
The python did not hesitate as it chased after the fruit.
Seeing the python disappear, Gu Zheng wondered where he should go. After chasing after it for one day and one night, Gu Zheng did not know where he was now.
Finding a tall tree without any leaves, Gu Zheng flew up.
The higher he flew, the more pressure Gu Zheng felt. When he was 50 metres up in the sky, standing on the tall tree, he felt as though his body was as heavy as a mountain. Gu Zheng felt that he could still fly up. However, he kept having the feeling that something bad would happen if he went up.
The pink sun was still the same. Other than the drifting fog in the sky, there was nothing else.
Standing on the top of the tree, he could see everything around him. Looking around, he saw a sea of trees. In the distance, there was an even bigger and more lush forest.
Every certain distance, there would be a towering mountain range. It rose up and down, piercing into the clouds. The peak could not be seen.
There were also several scattered mountain peaks. However, from the nearest mountain peak, there seemed to be something different. From afar, he could not see it clearly.
After calculating the distance, Gu Zheng ran in the direction of the nearest mountain peak. Those mountain ranges were too far away.
Half a day later, a huge snake slithered quickly on the ground. From time to time, it would spit out its forked tongue to determine its target.
On the bare ground, a bright fruit was lying on it. The python saw it and swallowed the surrounding ground.
The python felt comfortable and closed its eyes. Its whole body lay on the ground. It did not know if it was an illusion, but its huge body seemed to be shrinking little by little.
After a while, the python suddenly opened its eyes. Its black eyeballs kept moving. Looking at the familiar surroundings, it could not help but reveal a trace of nostalgia.
If Gu Zheng saw it, he would be more certain of his guess.
After a while, a green light rose from under the eyeballs. Soon, it occupied half of the eyeballs.
The python's eyes were half green and half black. It was very strange. The two colors were in a stalemate.
The python's huge body kept squirming, as if it was enduring great pain. A small area around it was emptied.
Even the tree that was surrounded by five people was broken by a light whip of the tail.
Finally, the green light occupied the entire eyeball. The python raised its huge head and hissed, looking for the familiar smell. It elegantly turned around and continued to move forward along a mysterious path.
Gu Zheng had to recalibrate his direction after walking for a long distance. Fortunately, he did not go in the wrong direction. This forest was tangled and complicated. Gu Zheng was really afraid of going in the wrong direction.
Every day or so, the python would follow behind him. Gu Zheng had already thrown out more than ten fruits. He only had five in his hand.
Every time the python swallowed a small fruit, its black eyes would become brighter and brighter. The black color would resist for longer and longer.
Let's go. Gu Zheng threw away the fifth fruit in his hand as usual. He did not know if it was an illusion or not, but this time the python did not chase after him. Instead, it seemed to have glanced at him.
Gu Zheng blinked to confirm, but found that the python had already turned around and left. He thought it was an illusion.
After such a long journey, Gu Zheng finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Although compared to the other mountain ranges, this mountain was only half of their height, but it was still very majestic.
From Gu Zheng's direction, it gave him the feeling of a steep blade piercing the sky. It was as if the sky was going to be split open.
Gu Zheng blinked and the feeling from before disappeared. Why did Gu Zheng feel as if he had been possessed by something strange? He kept having hallucinations. He carefully checked his body and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
Gu Zheng could only attribute it to himself. His mind was too tense and too sensitive.
It was not good to go up from this position. The surroundings were nearly eighty degrees steep. Gu Zheng believed that there must be a smoother path.
However, Gu Zheng did not want to take a long detour. With such a large area, how long would it take to make a detour? Gu Zheng's idea was to fly up.
However, when he was fifty meters away from the mountain, Gu Zheng helplessly found that there was a ban on flying here. He could only fly about ten meters above the ground. If he went up, a hurricane would blow so hard that he could not tell north from south.
The miserable Gu Zheng could only take out his sharp immortal sword. As if he was climbing, he crossed his sword and climbed up bit by bit.
However, there was no rope. After climbing about twenty meters, Gu Zheng felt that something was wrong. Why was the wind outside getting stronger? He was dizzy just by a little.
No, no, Gu Zheng quickly slipped down. Gu Zheng did not believe in superstition. He climbed fifty meters outside and rushed straight to the mountain. However, as soon as he entered the range, Gu Zheng was directly hit by the hurricane.
Gu Zheng, who fell to the ground, despaired. He completely gave up on the shortcut and honestly looked for a way to go up the mountain.
Gu Zheng walked along the bottom of the mountain for a few days. Only then did he find a path to go up the mountain. Fortunately, the strong python did not appear again.
Following a winding path, Gu Zheng slowly walked up.
The higher he went, the greater the surprise for Gu Zheng. He did not know when, but the originally bare and winding path actually had weeds. They were weeds that were very common in the outside world.
Slowly, some flowers and some green vegetation gradually appeared. The scene of birds singing and flowers fragrant made Gu Zheng almost forget where he was.
After passing halfway up the mountain, he could completely see the changes of the four seasons. It was like a grid. This area was snowing in winter, while the side was raining in spring.
Gu Zheng's wrist trembled, and a trace of heat came from his wrist.
Gu Zheng raised his hand and looked at his wrist. There was nothing at first, but now there were circles on it. The dim colors gave Gu Zheng a familiar feeling.
At this time, Gu Zheng looked at the familiar circles and carefully recalled where he had seen them before.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng thought of the dark world. The strange circles, but why did they appear here at this time?
Gu Zheng could feel that there was an unusually violent energy erupting from the mountain, attracting it. It instinctively wanted to absorb the energy inside to replenish itself. This was why it appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng decided to go up and take a look. Maybe he would know where he was at this time or find some clues.
As the path became wider, a stone staircase made of bluestone appeared in front of him. Beside it were some strangely shaped stones.
As he slowly approached the mountain top, the oppressive atmosphere in the air became thicker, and the light in his hand flickered more frequently.
Gu Zheng took the last step and finally reached the mountain top.
A huge flat area was at the top of the mountain. It was about the size of ten football fields. What surprised Gu Zheng the most was the purple-red balls.
Every ball contained a beast of different forms. There was a tiger, an eagle, and even a wyrm. Further away, there were a few human figures.
Every one of them had their eyes closed and were sleeping quietly. However, every aura gave Gu Zheng a different feeling. This was what Gu Zheng had seen. The lowest was a Heavenly Immortal, and the highest was Jin Xian.
There were even a few terrifying auras in the distance. The lowest was a Grand Heavenly Immortal.
There was a hole at the bottom of every ball, and a purple-colored light extended out to maintain the ball.
Gu Zheng was frightened. If all of them were to be released together, no matter how many Gu Zheng's there, they would not be enough. At a glance, there were at least a few thousand of them.
Gu Zheng carefully passed through this special area. He did not even dare to breathe loudly for fear of alarming those monsters.
After passing through this area, a purple-jade staircase appeared before him. Gu Zheng hesitated. There might be something even more terrifying up there. Gu Zheng did not want to throw his life away.
While he was hesitating, an aura that should not have appeared at the square had caused some of the beasts to become irritable. Their sleeping bodies kept twisting as if they were about to wake up at the next moment.
Gu Zheng saw that it was too late to retreat. He could only brace himself and step on it.
The moment he stepped on it, it was as if he had passed through a layer of water ripples. His body suddenly became lighter, and all the restrictions on his body seemed to have disappeared.
Looking back, there was no longer any square. There was only a dark sky behind him. It was as if there was only this island in the entire world.
Alright, I can't go back and forth anymore. Gu Zheng accepted his fate and walked up. However, he was secretly adjusting his state of mind.
There were only a few purple-colored stone staircases before Gu Zheng. With every step he took, a new staircase would appear, and it continued to go up.
The sides were decorated with hollow pillars. There was a bright flame on the pillar. Looking up, he could vaguely see a corner of the palace above.
Gu Zheng was like a guest from afar who was invited to the master's house.
However, the pets at the entrance of the master's house were not friendly. After walking up, Gu Zheng did not even have the time to admire the magnificence of the palace before he was attracted by a white bear in front of him.
