Seeking Immortality

Just when Xu Fan thought he was going to die, he suddenly felt the tentacles of the mountain spirit wood monster around his ankle loosen, and then he lost control and fell heavily to the ground from midair.

Faced with the sudden change, Xu Fan, who had already held the idea of ​​death, was shocked. He opened his eyes, but found that the mountain spirit wood monster had closed the big mouth that wanted to swallow Xu Fan just now, and the slender tentacles were also retracted around his body. But the green eyes became brighter and weirder, staring at Xu Fan's back with vigilance.

Xu Fan looked back strangely, and suddenly felt a chill in his body. It turned out that a green and golden-patterned giant python with a length of several feet and a thickness of several feet appeared behind him at some point. The green body coiled in circles, "hiss~~~~~hiss~~~~~~~" kept spitting out its tongue, and the golden eyes were also staring at the mountain spirit wood monster tightly, with a hideous image, as if it would attack at any time.

Xu Fan didn't know that this giant python was called "Qinglong Python", a species left over from ancient times. Some people even thought it was a species of dragon. It was born with great power, and was born to be able to swallow poisonous flames and use various wood-based Taoist methods. Another feature of this creature is that although it is a snake, it does not eat flesh and blood, but feeds on plants and trees.

The mountain spirit wood monster is actually a kind of tree monster, which is a rare delicacy for the Qinglong Python. So the mountain spirit wood monster was so nervous when it met it, and even Xu Fan didn't care about eating it, because it met a natural enemy.

The mountain spirit wood monster is not an ordinary tree monster. Its body is as hard as iron, and it has countless branches on its body that can be used as tentacles. Ordinary monsters can only walk around it when they see it. But there will always be mutual growth and mutual restraint among all things in nature, and this Qinglong Python that can swallow poisonous flames and feed on plants and trees is one of its few natural enemies.

Although Xu Fan didn't know anything about these, he knew that when these two monsters confronted each other, it was a good time for him to escape. So after he fell to the ground, he quickly got up, ignoring the pain all over his body, and ran away quickly, hoping to get as far away from this terrifying place as possible. The two monsters were on guard against each other, so they ignored Xu Fan's escape.

Originally, the Qinglong Python was the natural enemy of the mountain spirit and wood monster, and its magical powers naturally restrained the mountain spirit and wood monster, so it should not be so cautious. But today's situation is different. It turns out that this mountain spirit and wood monster has been practicing for more than a thousand years and has a high level of Taoism. Although this Qinglong Python is naturally restrained by the mountain spirit and wood monster, it has only practiced for more than three hundred years and is not as good as the other party, so it has not launched an attack.

In the end, the Qinglong Python still couldn't resist the temptation of eating this mountain spirit and wood monster that had practiced for thousands of years. It took the lead in attacking the mountain spirit and wood monster with poisonous flames.

For a time, the two notorious beasts in the southern wilderness began to fight fiercely, with flying sand and rocks, and wind and clouds. The powerful aura emitted made the beasts within a radius of more than ten miles tremble with fear, but they dared not move at all.

As for Xu Fan, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after running away, knowing that he had saved his life. But he didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly continued to walk away.

But after walking for a while, he couldn't help but be curious and wanted to know how the two monsters fought. After all, Xu Fan was only seventeen years old. Although he had read some poems and books, his mind was more mature than his peers, but after all, he was a teenager. In addition, he had never seen a fight between monsters before, so after hesitating for a long time, he actually ran back secretly with a fluke mentality.

It's really ignorant and fearless.

When Xu Fan returned to the place where he was almost eaten just now, he found that the battle between the two terrifying monsters seemed to have come to an end.

The blue dragon python was seen moving around the mountain spirit wood monster quickly, and from time to time it suddenly spewed out a series of pale green hot poisonous flames on the mountain spirit wood monster, but it was obviously exhausted, and the scale of the poisonous flames was getting smaller and smaller. There were also many traces of piercing and scratching on its body by the mountain spirit wood monster's branch tentacles, and golden blood was flowing all over the ground.

But compared with the blue dragon python, the mountain spirit wood monster, which was so majestic just now, was now in a more miserable state. Because it was a tree, its speed was naturally at a disadvantage. The blue dragon python's poisonous flames could almost always spray on its body, and its originally hard skin had no resistance to this terrifying poisonous flame. Even now, there are still several places on its body that are burning violently, and the wood Yi essence that originally surrounded its body as a protection is only a thin layer left, which seems to be likely to be broken at any time. There are only a few branches left of the densely packed leaves now. Although they occasionally use their tentacles to fight back, they are weaker and weaker each time, and have little effect under the rapid movement of the Qinglong Python.

Although the mountain spirit wood monster is obviously more advanced, it is a pity that it has encountered a natural enemy this time, and its strength and magical powers are nowhere to be used. So it seems more impatient, not roaring in pain. But the threat to the Qinglong Python is getting smaller and smaller.

After Xu Fan only watched for a while, he knew that the mountain spirit wood monster that almost ate him just now could not hold on for much longer. The mountain spirit wood monster that feeds on flesh and blood tigers and leopards will eventually be eaten by other monsters. Is this the legendary cycle of justice?

In order to avoid complications, Xu Fan slowly retreated after seeing that the mountain spirit wood monster was obviously unable to hold on, wanting to escape from this dangerous place before the end of the battle.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, the mountain spirit wood monster let out a painful and desperate roar, and at the same time, the wood light on its body became brighter, and it actually broke free from the poisonous flames that had been entangled around it, and its body expanded rapidly. The originally green skin actually faintly revealed a strange blood color! Then there was a loud bang, like thunder from the ground.

It turned out that after this mountain spirit wood monster found that it could not escape, it actually had the idea of ​​dying together with the Azure Dragon Python in its simple wisdom. Then, it actually exploded!

The moment the Azure Dragon Python saw the abnormality of the mountain spirit wood monster, the animal instinct made it realize the extreme danger! Without the slightest pause, the body rushed back violently.

Unfortunately, this mountain spirit wood monster has thousands of years of Taoism, and its self-explosion is extremely powerful. Moreover, in the battle with the mountain spirit wood monster just now, the Qinglong Python also consumed a lot of physical strength. Facing the self-explosion of the mountain spirit wood monster, it was completely unable to avoid it. It was blown alive, and its flesh and blood flew everywhere. Its broken body flew into the air and fell far to the ground. After twitching a few times, it was completely motionless.

Poor Qinglong Python obviously had the upper hand, but in the end it ended up with a mutual destruction.

In this way, a tragic battle between the two terrifying monsters ended with mutual destruction.

And Xu Fan, the only spectator in the field, was not feeling well. The power of the mountain spirit wood monster's self-explosion was so great that it even affected Xu Fan, who had run more than ten feet away! Although it was just the aftermath, Xu Fan, a mortal, could not bear it at all. I only felt a flash of green light in front of my eyes, and then my head felt as if it was pierced by a drill, and my internal organs seemed to be about to burst. Then, Xu Fan finally couldn't stand the severe pain and passed out.

But things were far from over.

Suddenly, Xu Fan, who had fainted on the ground, had a faint green light on his body, and then his body began to tremble violently, with a painful expression on his face, as if he was fighting with some monster.

I don't know how long it had been, the sky had begun to brighten slightly, and Xu Fan, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, and two faint green lights shone from his eyes, straight out three feet away. Then he slowly got up, with strange movements, as if he was not used to his body. After getting up, he carefully looked at his body from head to toe, as if he had never seen it before, and then a burst of "Gaga~~~~" inhuman laughter suddenly came out of Xu Fan's mouth.

If there were tribesmen who were familiar with Xu Fan at this time, they would be shocked to see his current appearance. Is this guy with a ferocious face still the delicate and elegant Xu Fan that he was familiar with?

After moving his limbs a few times, "Xu Fan" seemed to have finally adapted to his body, and then suddenly remembered something, and walked towards the direction where the mountain spirit wood monster had exploded just now.

"Xu Fan" seemed to not be able to walk on his feet at this time, and he actually lay on the ground with his limbs on the ground, crawling forward with his hands and feet, and crawling very fast.

When he crawled to the place where the mountain spirit wood monster had exploded just now, the original mountain spirit wood monster had completely disappeared, leaving only pieces of broken wood and broken branches falling on the ground after the explosion, and the blue dragon python that had been blown into a bloody mess.

"Xu Fan" first collected the broken body parts of the mountain spirit wood monster together, and then put them in front of him, as if he missed it for a long time, and then took a deep breath at those wood blocks and branches, and then something strange happened, and those wood blocks and branches suddenly overflowed with thick green mist, and as Xu Fan breathed in and out, it slowly flowed into his body from his nasal cavity. As the mist poured in, Xu Fan's body was slowly surrounded by a faint aura of wood!

When the day began to brighten, the green mist in the remains of the mountain spirit and wood monster had been completely absorbed by "Xu Fan". "Xu Fan" seemed to smack his lips with regret, but crawled towards the bloody Qinglong Python. After crawling closer, he lowered his body and reached into the broken body of the Qinglong Python, as if searching for something. Suddenly, "Xu Fan" made another inhuman cry, full of joy and pride, and at this time he was holding a light green bead in his hand, which was the inner elixir of the Qinglong Python! !

"Xu Fan" first played with it and admired it for a while, then swallowed the inner elixir into his stomach without hesitation, with an extremely satisfied expression on his face, and the green light in his eyes became stronger and more weird.

After swallowing the inner elixir of the Azure Dragon Python, "Xu Fan" looked at the bloody body of the Azure Dragon Python, and his green eyes projected a light of hatred. He suddenly grabbed the body of the Azure Dragon Python, and then gnawed on the flesh of the Azure Dragon Python. Then there was a creepy sound of biting and swallowing.

Soon after, it seemed that "Xu Fan" was full, and his head was raised from the remains of the Azure Dragon Python. He was covered in blood, but he wiped it on his clothes. There were even a few pieces of meat between his white teeth. His image looked more brutal, which was very different from his original image of being a little weak in elegance.

It turned out that when the mountain spirit and wood monster exploded last night, it suddenly found that the human being it had just caught was still around. So out of the instinct for survival, the soul attached to Xu Fan at the moment of its self-explosion and took over Xu Fan's body!

Originally, this behavior of the soul taking over another person's body was considered a taboo by the heavens, but the mountain spirits and wood monsters were demons, and had not yet transformed into human form, so how could they understand the destiny? Moreover, if they could really take over another person's body, they would not only be able to get rid of their natural enemies, but also obtain a human body that would be much more convenient for cultivation. Why not do it?

It is extremely difficult to take over someone else's body. If you are not careful, your soul will be destroyed. After all, the soul is fragile, and it is in someone else's territory. But on the one hand, Xu Fan had been unconscious by the self-explosion of the mountain spirit and wood monster at that time, and his control over his body was greatly weakened; on the other hand, Xu Fan was a mortal. Although he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, his soul was not much stronger than that of ordinary people. How could he be the opponent of the mountain spirit and wood monster who had practiced for thousands of years? In this way, this extremely risky act of taking over the body was successful! !

Not only did it eliminate its natural enemy, but it also occupied a human body. The mountain spirit and wood monster was very proud. Just as it was laughing proudly, a green light suddenly flashed in the sky, and then it quickly moved towards the direction of Xu Fan.

"Huh?" An old voice of surprise sounded in the air, and then a green light lit up not far from "Xu Fan". After the light faded, an old man with white hair and a simple and majestic face suddenly appeared in front of "Xu Fan". Coldly looking at the blood-stained "Xu Fan".

"Woo woo~~~"

Seeing this mysterious old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xu Fan, whose body was occupied by the spirit of the mountain spirit, instinctively felt a huge threat, which was even stronger than the Qinglong python yesterday! So "Xu Fan" looked at the mysterious old man in front of him with caution, and let out a series of threatening roars. But his body slowly retreated.

"Humph! It turns out that it is you, the evildoer, who is causing trouble!! I was wondering why I suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of the wood spirit aura here, and it turned out that you are taking over the human body!! Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven for such a reckless behavior?" The old man simply ignored the threatening movements and roars of "Xu Fan", but looked at "Xu Fan" seriously for a while, and suddenly asked in a cold voice. While the old man was speaking, the aura was surrounded by his body, and the pressure was great.

If Xu Fan was awake at this moment, he would definitely jump for joy when seeing such a scene, because this old man was the "immortal" that Xu Fan had always wanted to find!
