Chapter 244 Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake

Chapter 244 Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake

After a while, the Abyss Water Crocodile King finally spoke slowly, its voice deep and full of power: "Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake, the snake-like monster that broke through to the seventh level not long ago? More than ten years ago, I did encounter that snake. It often appears deep in the east of the Monster Mountain Range, but even I don't know its exact location. However, I can tell you that wherever it passes by, it leaves some purple flames, and its territory is covered with purple flames all year round. That is its unique mark. Although it is relatively hidden, you should be able to find it if you spend some time."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed. This was undoubtedly an important clue in their search for the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to the Abyss Water Crocodile King: "Crocodile King, the information you provided is of vital importance to us. As a thank you, these pills can be regarded as the reward for my clues. They may be helpful to your cultivation and recovery of your body damage." As he said, he took out a small bottle from his arms, which contained a few pills emitting a faint luster.

He gently opened the jade bottle in his hand, and immediately, a strong elixir fragrance filled the air. A dozen sixth-grade pills lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle, each emitting a faint halo.

These sixth-grade pills are undoubtedly coveted treasures in the eyes of many Douhuang Douzong masters in the outside world. The appearance of each sixth-grade pill is enough to arouse a fierce competition. However, for Xiao Ling now, these pills have no effect.

After looting the remains of "Turtle Spirit Master", Xiao Ling's wealth is no longer the same as before. It is even richer than most Dou Zun masters. Taking out these pills is just a drop in the bucket for him.

As for giving these pills to the Abyss Water Crocodile King, it was not just as a reward for the information it provided about the Purple Flame Wind Winged Snake. The deeper reason was that the Abyss Water Crocodile King had selflessly consumed his own cultivation to condense a precious Deep Turbulence Source Crystal and gave it to the Little Medical Immortal.

After inheriting the memory of "Turtle Spirit Venerable", Xiao Ling clearly knew that the choice facing the Abyss Water Crocodile King was to follow the will of "Turtle Spirit Venerable", either to follow the inheritor or to condense the Deep Turtle Source Crystal to help the inheritor grow. However, as the saying goes, a gentleman is judged by deeds rather than by heart. The choice and friendship of the Abyss Water Crocodile King deeply touched Xiao Ling and made him remember it in his heart.

Moreover, after Xiao Ling roughly browsed through the memories left by "Venerable Turtle Spirit", although he failed to fully grasp all the memories of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", he already had a general understanding of the past of the Abyss Water Crocodile King.

Learning that this Abyss Water Crocodile King had been silently guarding this land for so many years just because of a promise made by "Venerable Turtle Spirit" before his death, and even looking at its current appearance, it plans to stay forever in the resting place of "Venerable Turtle Spirit", even Xiao Ling couldn't help but be moved by such loyalty and persistence.

Looking at the pills Xiao Ling took out, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Water Crocodile King. It could feel the pure energy contained in these pills. For its current state, these pills were undoubtedly a great aid to its cultivation.

"Thank you, human." There was a hint of joy in its voice.

Xiao Ling nodded gently and handed the pill to the Abyss Water Crocodile King: "Haha, I inherited the legacy of that senior, so I will naturally not leave you alone. These are what you deserve."

Upon hearing that Xiao Ling had obtained the inheritance of "Turtle Spirit Venerable", an inexplicable light flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, but it did not say anything in this regard.

It did not reject Xiao Ling's kindness. It took the pill with a hint of gratitude in its eyes. It nodded its huge head towards Xiao Ling and said, "I, the Abyss Water Crocodile King, will remember this kindness. If you come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range again in the future and need my help, you can come here and call me."

After saying that, the Abyss Water Crocodile King gently waved his claws, and a stream of water surged up from the lake, rolling up the pills and slowly bringing them to it. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the pills into its stomach.

Seeing that the Abyss Water Crocodile King had accepted the elixir, Xiao Ling asked with a hint of curiosity, "Crocodile King, do you plan to stay here forever? Although your current strength has declined, if other high-level monsters come to this place, I'm afraid you will face considerable danger. If you are willing, you can leave with us, and I can arrange a safe place for you to live."

Although the Abyss Water Crocodile King's cultivation was damaged because of helping the Little Medical Immortal condense the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal, Xiao Ling felt that if there was a sufficient supply of medicinal resources, it would not be difficult for it to return to the Douhuang realm. If it could be introduced to Canaan College, it would not only enhance the strength of the college, but also there, the Abyss Water Crocodile King could stay away from danger and enjoy a peaceful life.

After hearing Xiao Ling's invitation, the Abyss Crocodile King pondered for a moment. Its voice echoed on the lake, with a bit of vicissitudes: "Human, I understand your proposal. But this is the place I have guarded for many years. I have an indissoluble bond with this land. No matter what, I will not leave here."

"As for the other monsters in the Monster Mountain Range, even if my cultivation has declined today and is not as good as before, they are no match for me." When he said this, a trace of sharpness and confidence belonging to a strong man flashed across his eyes.

It is a magical beast that has seen the world, and it does not take these low-level magical beasts from remote continents seriously at all.

In fact, what Xiao Ling didn't know was that the Abyss Water Crocodile King was unable to cross the threshold of the seventh-level magic beast due to injuries many years ago. But as time passed, it did not waste time, but used a special method to store the energy accumulated after reaching the peak of the sixth level.

The energy it had previously consumed in order to create the Shenlan Source Crystal for Little Medical Fairy will soon be replenished, and its strength will return to its previous level without being significantly weakened.

With the pills given by Xiao Ling, the speed at which it recovers its strength will be greatly increased.

Xiao Ling nodded in understanding. He could feel the deep affection that the Abyss Water Crocodile King had for this "Reverend Turtle Spirit", so he did not continue to persuade him. He was just asking before.

"I respect your choice, Crocodile King. In that case, I wish you good luck."

The Abyss Water Crocodile King nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "I appreciate your kindness, human. Don't waste that master's inheritance. Now, go pursue your goals. I wish you a safe journey."

Afterwards, the Abyss Crocodile King called out to the sky, then slowly turned around and dived into the lake again. Its body drew a circular arc on the water surface and then disappeared into the deep lake.

As the figure of the Abyss Crocodile King gradually disappeared into the depths of the lake, the ripples on the lake surface gradually subsided, as if nothing had ever happened.

Xiao Ling put away the empty bottle in his hand and looked into the distance with a determined look: "Okay, let's not delay any longer. We already have clues about the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake. Deep in the east of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, where the purple flame appeared, is our next target."

……

Above the vast Monster Mountain Range, the sky was a clear blue, like a huge gem covering the earth. The sun shone through the blue, bright and warm, coating the entire forest below with a layer of golden light.

At this moment, a slender black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. Its body was long and smooth, and every twist in the air seemed so natural and graceful.

Rayquaza crossed the sky at an astonishing speed, as if a sharp blade cut through the calm water, leaving transparent ripples in the air.

Looking up, four figures stood steadily on the back of Rayquaza. Xiao Ling stood in the front, his eyes like torches, piercing through the clouds, staring into the distance. Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes, as if he had discovered something exciting, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smug smile.

Little Medical Fairy noticed Xiao Ling's abnormality. She walked lightly to Xiao Ling's side and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Xiao Ling? Did you find something?"

Xiao Ling turned his head and looked at Xiao Yixiang, with a brighter light in his eyes: "Look over there, to the east of the mountains, there seems to be some unusual fluctuations." He pointed to the distance, where the clouds seemed to be thicker than other places, and occasionally a strange light shone through.

Zi Yan and Qing Lin also gathered around. They looked in the direction Xiao Ling pointed, with curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

Qinglin whispered: "Could that kind of fluctuation be the territory of the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake?" There was a hint of excitement in his voice. After all, he was going to help Qinglin subdue the first seventh-level snake monster.

Zi Yan stared at that area, and colliding her two pink little fists together, she said eagerly: "My fists have been hungry for a long time, I have to give that little snake a good beating later." As the Rayquaza continued to fly for a while, Xiao Ling and the others' vision gradually widened, and a desolate and silent scene appeared before them.

It was a strange mountain forest composed of countless stone pillars. Each stone pillar seemed to be inserted into the earth by the hand of gods. They towered into the clouds and were densely spread as far as the eye could see.

There is not a trace of green here, no trees, no birds singing, and even the sound of the wind seems to be swallowed up by the forest of stone pillars, leaving only a dead silence.

The surfaces of those stone pillars are covered with traces of time. Some are rough, some are smooth. Some point straight to the sky, while others are tilted and about to fall, forming a desolate and spectacular picture.

In this desolate forest of stone pillars, a stone mountain rises high into the clouds. Its top has suffered from weathering, and time has carved deep marks on its rough surface. This stone mountain is like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, quietly watching over this silent land.

On the top of this stone mountain, a cave was quietly embedded in it, and its entrance was surrounded by a layer of mysterious purple flames. These flames swayed gently in the breeze, and the purple flames jumped, but strangely they did not spread outward, as if they were restricted by an invisible force and firmly bound around the cave.

The sunlight shines through the cracks in the stone pillars, projecting onto the purple flames in patches, making the color of the flames even deeper and more mysterious. The purple glow contrasts sharply with the grayness of the stone mountain, adding a touch of mystery and weirdness to this desolate land.

The purple flames emitted a dark glow, adding a touch of mystery and danger to the stone mountain. They burned quietly, as if waiting for something, or perhaps guarding the secrets in the cave.

There is an indescribable atmosphere in the air around the cave, which is full of danger and reveals an irresistible attraction.

Zi Yan's eyes were attracted by the purple flames, and her voice was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal: "Xiao Ling, look at those purple flames, are they the marks of the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake that the crocodile mentioned before?"

Xiao Ling's sight was also focused on those mysterious purple flames. He nodded, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, those should be it. This purple flame looks extraordinary, and its quality is far superior to ordinary flames. But I still have to detect it first to see if there are any traces of the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake in this cave."

As he spoke, Xiao Ling closed his eyes and slowly released his soul perception. His soul power was like a gentle tentacle, silently spreading towards the cave on the top of the stone mountain.

Then, Xiao Ling used his soul perception to explore and clearly captured the situation in the stone mountain cave ahead. There was a breath of a seventh-level monster hidden there, which was extremely obvious. The power fluctuations revealed by this breath were about the same as the strength of a Dou Zong one-star.

Xiao Ling withdrew his power of exploration, opened his eyes, and reported his findings to his companions: "There is indeed a strong aura in the cave, it should be a seventh-level monster. If nothing unexpected happens, it is the seventh-level purple flame wind-winged snake."

Xiao Ling's confirmation lifted everyone's spirits, and their eyes flickered with eagerness. Facing a seventh-level monster, such a rare opportunity for actual combat was an excellent training opportunity for them to improve their strength.

Seeing the three people rubbing their hands in anticipation, Xiao Ling shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly: "This time, in order to win the battle quickly, let me do it. I also need to return to the Jia Ma Empire as soon as possible to absorb the turtle spirit earth fire. When we fight against the Three Kingdoms Alliance, there will definitely be a chance for you to show your skills."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, the three women had different expressions on their faces. Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and agreed with Xiao Ling's proposal.

Zi Yan seemed a little depressed. She hadn't had a good fight with anyone for a long time since she broke through to the sixth-level magical beast.

But she also understood that Xiao Ling's consideration was based on overall strategy and safety, so she sighed softly and accepted the decision: "Okay, I'll let you do it this time. But next time, you have to let me stretch my muscles."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and responded briefly to Zi Yan: "Okay, I got it." There was a hint of relief in his tone.

Then, he lowered his head and said a few words to the Split Sky Seat at his feet. Although his voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable determination. He probably meant that the Split Sky Seat should continue to speed up and move towards the cave covered by purple flames.

The Splitting Seat obviously understood Xiao Ling's intention. It nodded slightly and let out a clear and long whistle, like an arrow piercing through the clouds and rushing straight into the sky.

Then, it twisted its body, drawing a smooth arc in the air, and its speed suddenly increased as it rushed towards the cave filled with purple flames.

……

As Rayquaza sped forward, the cave on the stone mountain gradually filled their field of vision. The shortening of the distance made the details of the cave entrance appear more and more clearly before everyone's eyes.

At this time, they were surprised to find that outside the cave entrance, there were countless skeletons of magical beasts. They were scattered all over the ground, and the white bones reflected the cold light under the sunlight, making the already desolate forest of stone pillars even more eerie.

Xiao Ling stared at this scene, touched his chin thoughtfully, and said lightly: "It seems that the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake is running rampant in this magical beast mountain range and is doing very well."

When Xiao Ling said this, Little Medical Fairy couldn't help but tease him, "No matter how powerful it is, now that you've got its eyes on it, its good days are doomed to end."

Xiao Ling rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? I'm not going to deal with it, but to help it and let Qinglin subdue it. Following Qinglin is more promising than staying in such a desolate place, right?"

After that, Xiao Ling turned to Qing Lin, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "Qing Lin, am I right?"

Qinglin gently covered her mouth and laughed like a silver bell, appearing both coquettish and confident: "Master is right, it is a good choice for it to follow me."

Zi Yan interrupted and said, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense here and get things done quickly. Qing Lin used the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to subdue a seventh-level snake monster. This is the first time I've seen it. I'm very curious."

After this lighthearted joke, the atmosphere obviously became much more relaxed. Although they were about to face a battle, Xiao Ling and his group were not too worried. For them, a mere magical beast that had just broken through to the seventh level was just a piece of cake. Xiao Ling only needed to make a slight move to easily suppress the little snake.

Rayquaza did not hide its presence while flying in the air. Its existence was like a meteor across the sky, causing quite a stir.

As the distance gradually shortened, the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake in the cave apparently sensed the approaching powerful aura, and it reacted quickly and alertly, immediately flying out of the cave, hovering in front of the cave entrance, staring closely at the direction where the Sky-Splitting Seat was flying from.

In the sight of the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake, a slender black figure quickly appeared, emitting a terrifying aura that was countless times stronger than it was now.

Then the black figure hovered in the sky not far away, looking down proudly in its direction. When the distance got closer, the Purple Flame Wind Winged Snake could see clearly that above the head of the unknown monster, there were two humans, one man, three women, and two humans.
