Chapter 4048 Burning in the Flames
At this moment, the Naba serpent was wreaking havoc in the village of Changgu, and many people of Changgu had already been swallowed by the Naba serpent.
We lured this snake here, and we'd feel really bad if we didn't help the person.
The only way to deal with this thing is to outsmart it; you definitely can't beat it by fighting.
After the disheveled Taoist priest climbed down from the big tree, he immediately grabbed the Eastern Emperor Bell and rushed towards the village.
When the disheveled Taoist priest appeared in the village, he looked like a baby compared to the giants.
However, the Eastern Emperor Bell in the hands of the slovenly Taoist priest can become incredibly huge.
As soon as he entered the village, the slovenly Taoist priest activated the Eastern Emperor Bell. While the serpent was wreaking havoc in the village, the slovenly Taoist priest's Eastern Emperor Bell spun and grew larger and larger, crashing into the serpent's head.
By the time the Eastern Emperor Bell was close to the Naba Serpent, it had become enormous.
At this moment, the serpent was swallowing a person from the Long-legged Kingdom, and half of the person was already inside its mouth.
The Eastern Emperor Bell slammed into the head of the Bashe snake in an instant.
The impact caused the snake's body to shake violently, and the person it had just swallowed was forced to spit out again.
This really angered the snake. It quickly turned its head and glanced at the disheveled Taoist priest. Its huge amber eyes flashed with a fierce light. I could actually see resentment in the eyes of a giant snake.
The next moment, the snake suddenly changed direction quickly and slithered towards the disheveled Taoist priest.
"Big spicy strip, come over here to grandpa." The slovenly Taoist priest kept waving at the snake.
This kid is really bold, quite like the man who smashed a snake egg with a single sword back in the day.
Seeing that the snake was not far from the slovenly Taoist priest, he quickly turned around and fled in the direction of the magic array I had set up.
As the slovenly Taoist priest ran, the serpent relentlessly pursued him.
As the snake slithered away, the tall houses in the village were smashed to pieces by its body, and pieces of wood fell all over the ground.
The snake was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was right behind the disheveled Taoist priest. The priest had already activated the Formless Step, but he still felt the snake relentlessly chasing after him.
I imagine the slovenly Taoist priest must have been scared out of his wits by now.
Fortunately, the slovenly Taoist priest quickly lured the snake into the range of the Fire Separation Array I had set up earlier.
At this moment, the snake was less than ten meters away from the slovenly Taoist priest, which made my heart pound with fear.
The snake suddenly lunged forward, opening its blood-red maw, ready to bite down on the disheveled Taoist priest.
At the critical moment, the slovenly Taoist priest quickly took out the Eastern Emperor Bell again and, without turning his head, smashed it into the head of the Bashe snake.
Before the Eastern Emperor Bell had fully grown in size, it collided with the head of the Bashe snake.
This gave the slovenly Taoist priest two or three seconds to escape.
"Old Wu, hurry up and activate the magic array! I'm doomed..." The slovenly Taoist priest shouted hoarsely as he ran towards me.
Seeing the disheveled Taoist priest run out of the magic circle, I quickly formed hand seals and activated the magic circle.
In an instant, barriers of qi rose from the ground, and powerful barriers resembling water ripples appeared from all directions, trapping the serpent within.
Bashe came to his senses and went to find the slovenly Taoist priest again, but he had already run far away.
The serpent roared angrily and continued chasing after the disheveled Taoist priest. But the next moment, it slammed its head into the protective barrier. The serpent was so strong that the magic array shook violently with the impact. If it slammed into the barrier a couple more times, it might shatter it.
Therefore, I dared not delay and immediately activated the strangulation power of the magic array.
A moment later, a ball of blue flame rose from the ground and quickly enveloped the snake.
The area I enclosed with a magic circle is several hundred meters in circumference. Inside the magic circle, there is not only that Bashe, but also many towering trees that reach into the clouds.
Once the flames started, they not only enveloped the serpent but also set the large trees within the magic array ablaze.
The power of the fire burned the large trees and the Bashe. In just a few minutes, the space enveloped by the magic array had become a sea of fire.
The enormous serpent that was inside the magic circle was naturally also swallowed up by the flames.
It rolled on the ground in agony, roaring incessantly. However, with each movement, it knocked down the burning trees, which crashed onto the snake's body. This made the pain even worse, because some of the trees were quite thick, and the snake had to exert a great deal of effort to move when they hit it.
This was a rare sight, and everyone looked toward the burning snake.
At some point, Li Chao and Master Zhiqing also arrived and stood under the big tree watching.
The crisis was resolved, and everyone slid down from the tree, their eyes fixed on the serpent burning in the fire.
Sensing someone approaching, Master Zhiqing and Li Chao simultaneously turned to look at me.
"Was it your magic array that trapped the Bashe?" Master Zhiqing asked in surprise.
“That’s right. That serpent barged into the village ahead and went on a killing spree. Many people from the Longgu Kingdom were swallowed by it. If it’s not eliminated, everyone in this village will be wiped out,” I said quickly.
"Young friend Wu is a compassionate person, actually taking such a great risk to deal with the Bashe." Master Zhiqing said with admiration.
"I only set up the magic array. The Bashe was brought here by Luo Chiwen. He deserves the most credit," I said with a smile.
“You two are both very strong,” Li Chao suddenly said.
It's really not easy to get a single nice word out of his mouth.
Just as we were looking at the burning serpent, the people from the Long-legged Kingdom in the village also walked towards us.
The people of this country with long legs are incredibly tall; even the children are four or five meters tall, and their feet are unusually large.
Even so, they were no match for the Bashe.
After the snake was burned, it struggled for a while but then stopped and lay there motionless.
At this moment, the people from the Long Stock Country also discovered us, as well as the slovenly Taoist priest beside me.
An old man who looked very old, with a long string of animal bones hanging around his neck, walked straight toward us. Behind him was a large group of people from the Long-Bodied Kingdom.
The old man from the Long-legged Kingdom with the animal bone hanging around his neck was clearly the leader of the village. He looked at our group with great curiosity for a while before saying, "Did you kill that Bashe?"
