Chapter 328 - Snake Metamorphosis (2/2)
Xiao Chen walked on the path. One moment, the bell rang on the left side of him and then the next moment on the right side of him. Finally, he got a little mad and yelled, “Immortal Zhi! Can you please not shake that bloody bell of yours right next to my ear!”
“Oh, oh.” Lying on his shoulder, Zhiluan finally kept its bell.
“Wait, there seems to be a sound of water in front.” Without the bell, Xiao Chen felt that his sense of hearing was a lot sharper. There was a faint sound of water coming from not far in front.
“Holy meow! I can hear it too! Could it be that river of Hell in legends, the Forgotten River!” There is a bridge on the river. There is an old woman who sells soup at the bridge. If you tell her to not put chopped spring onions in the soup…”
“Soup your head!” Xiao Chen knocked on its forehead and said, “Go, let’s go and take a look.”
After 30 minutes later, a man and a cat came to a river. The river was murky and rushing. It was about 30 meters wide. On the shores, there were many of the Hell Flowers they had seen before. Zhiluan yelled, “Holy meow! It is the Forgotten River! We’re dead, we have really fallen into Hell!”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows tangled in a frown. He had heard from Fengxi before that the connector of the gaps of the Six Realms, the connector of the Ghost Realm, was called Nieqing Hai. He could not possibly be under this valley. Furthermore, although the Negative Qi was dense here, there was still some human world aura. It should not be the Ghost Realm here. Besides, a faint Devil Qi that could be felt from the bottom of this river. Could it be…
“Doom, doom, we’re doom! If we bump into an old woman who sells soup, don’t drink her soup. If you drink it, you will forget everything, and you will inexplicably go to reincarnation…”
“Reincarnation your head! Stupid cat, you only know how to sprout nonsense!”
Xiao Chen gave him a stare again and walked towards the river. The splashes of water quickly soaked his robe hem.
“I think I probably know the reason for the Devil Qi in this place. The people of the Devil Clan. Not bad. They hid it from the heaven and the seas. Ha. I have to go down and confirm my guess.”
Zhiluan jumped with fright and yelled, “Kid… kiddo, are you crazy! This Dragon Boat Festival has not arrived yet, what for you want to jump into the river!”
Xiao Chen turned and glared at him and said, “Stay put on the shore! I…” Before he could finish his words, Zhiluan jumped up and down. It pointed at the river and shouted, “Ri-rising! The water is rising! Kiddo, come back! It must be the Black and White Generals coming to catch us!”
Xiao Chen felt a chill beneath his feet, he looked down and found that the water rose up a lot higher to the height of his legs. Then the river surged as if it was raging. The water rose three feet above the ground. Xiao Chen stepped back hastily and caught a glimpse of a large creature in the water swimming towards them with speed.
The creature was getting closer and closer, the river flow was getting more and more rapid. It had already stirred up a thousand feet of waves. Zhiluan exclaimed, “Holy meow! It is not the Black and White Generals! It is a snake metamorphosis!”
The monster in the upstream had shown itself. It was a black snake that measured a length of several hundred feet. Its whole body was wrapped with shiny scales. It had wings on its back and its head was like a flood dragon. Its two eyes shone like a lantern.
“Rarrr!” The Snake Metamorphosis growled loudly. A more than 30-meter-long water pillar rose up from the ground and headed towards them at lightning speed. Xiao Chen could not avoid it in time. He quickly cast a Barrier shield to block the attack.
“Bang!” Unexpectedly, the Barrier was shattered into pieces. Xiao Chen’s breathing was disrupted by the aftershock and flew straight out.
“Go!” Xiao Chen did not stop to think. This Snake Metamorphosis was a ferocious beast that was proliferated in ancient times. It was not something he could fight against at the moment. He grabbed Zhiluan and spread out the Phoenix’s Wings and fled to a distance afar.
However, the Snake Metamorphosis pursued. One after another water pillar came at them. Zhiluan was terrified and screamed, “Left, left! Right, right! Almost hitting us! Go down a little!” Xiao Chen was struggling, for this speed of the Snake Metamorphosis was on par with him.
Suddenly, the Snake Metamorphosis made a dash. In an instant, it was only 30 meters behind him. It swept its tail and the dirt flew. Even he was still a few meters away from the ground, Xiao Chen felt how scary the force was. If they were hit, they would be half-dead.
“Kiddo! Didn’t you just receive a General of Soul! Call it out!”
Xiao Chen did not think more and shouted, “Guifeng!”
The moment his voice fell, the Snake Metamorphosis swept its tail again, and there was a loud bang. The whole space violently shook and the ground instantly split. Countless gaps were formed and the river-water splashed into midair. However, under the impact of this world-destroying power, Xiao Chen was unscathed. A tall figure appeared in front of him, blocking off all the attacks for him.
“Here!”
