I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

After the three of them parted with Mu Heyu and the others, they flew back and forth, and reached their destination three days later.

Zhu Wenbo felt that the terrain here looked familiar from a distance, and only when he landed did he realize that this was the place where they encountered the giant python.

However, the mountain had been destroyed. A huge crack appeared in the mountain collapse, and huge rubble fell down, crushing all the surrounding trees.

Gu Lan's eyes tightened. Sure enough, the giant python broke free from the confinement of the confinement talisman and ran out. It was unknown which direction it ran in, but if such a big python wanted to escape, it would definitely leave traces. Gu Lan then flew his sword around the collapsed mountain to explore carefully.

Soon she found a path about four meters wide that led straight into the depths of the dense forest. Wasn’t the trace too wide?

"Come quickly!" Gu Lan shouted, and Ji Yanli and Zhu Wenbo hurried over and pressed down the sword. Gu Lan pointed at the mark and said, "This should be the route the giant python took when it escaped, but it's a little strange."

"What's so strange?" Ji Yanli squatted down and looked left and right, but couldn't make out anything. Not knowing why Gu Lan said that, he turned to look at Zhu Wenbo to see his reaction.

Zhu Wenbo frowned and said nothing.

He also felt strange.

In his impression, the giant python was at most as thick as a bucket, but the traces here were about four meters long. Even if the giant python was a big eater, it was impossible for it to grow so big in such a short time.

Seeing that Ji Yanli didn't understand what was going on, Gu Lan described to him what happened when he fought with the giant python.

"So the giant python is at most as thick as a bucket, but look at the traces of its escape now, they are four meters wide, so how long must it be?" Gu Lan had a headache.

It’s scary to think about it, what kind of python is this!

After listening to Gu Lan's description, Ji Yanli finally understood why both of them felt strange. No matter how fast a python grows, it can't grow this fast!

"Let's hurry up and look for it. I'm afraid the giant python will pass through this dense forest and over those mountains and reach a densely populated town. That would be disastrous."

Gu Lan flew up on his sword, and Ji Yanli and Zhu Wenbo quickly followed. It was only then that Zhu Wenbo understood what the private matter Gu Lan was talking about was.

Although the giant python was injured by them before, its life was not in danger. Gu Lan came back again to cut the weeds and eliminate the root of the problem to prevent future troubles.

Zhu Wenbo suddenly felt that compared to Gu Lan, his vision seemed smaller.

Those who practice Taoism are supposed to take the people of the world as their responsibility.

Zhu Wenbo used to think so too, but with day and night training, competition between sects, treasure hunting in secret realms, etc., this idea in his heart has gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a constant pursuit of how to become stronger and how to bring honor to his master.

The original intention has been lost.

But now he saw this kind of compassionate tenderness in Gu Lan! She had the righteousness of the world in her heart!

There was a flame in Zhu Wenbo's heart, and it started burning with a puff.

The three flew for a short while before they saw the towering trees in the dense forest in the distance trembling and falling down with a loud bang. The huge snake tail swung, causing countless waist-thick branches to fly everywhere, and there was also flashing sword light in between.

A cultivator encountered the giant python here!

..................................................

Shao Yu is such an unlucky guy.

After returning to the sect, his master asked him to give a gift to an old friend. In order to come back early and enter the secret realm within the sect on time, he took a shortcut.

What a coincidence that I ended up here.

Just after passing this mountain, a confinement talisman appeared faintly, and the shadow of the red divine turtle flashed with golden light.

It is rare to see talismans these days, and this is the first time Shao Yu has seen a confinement talisman.

This kind of confinement talisman is somewhat similar to their Four Phases Confinement Technique, except that the Four Phases Confinement Technique is a little more powerful than the confinement talisman. As long as the Four Phases Confinement Technique is completed, it will be no problem to confine a Jindan stage cultivator.

Shao Yu stood on the branch and admired it for a while.

I wondered, who put a confinement talisman here? What was being confined?

Shao Yu, full of curiosity, flew closer to see the specific situation. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew over. The black shadow was extremely fast and only left an afterimage in front of Shao Yu. The afterimage ignored the confinement talisman and rushed in.

When Shao Yu was wondering what that was, the mountain suddenly collapsed, huge rocks flew everywhere, and the boulders came whistling with the wind, cutting the surrounding giant trees in half.

The sky was full of flying sand, and Shao Yu didn't see clearly where the black shadow went, but he saw a pair of huge scarlet eyes staring straight at the sky, and a fat giant python rushed out from the exploded mountain.

It ignored Shao Yu and headed straight for the dense forest behind the mountain. That was the road Shao Yu came from. He had stayed in a town a few hills away before and knew that the giant python was probably heading there.

Shao Yu scratched his head. Should he go to stop the giant python or give gifts to his master’s friend?

This was really a difficult situation. After hesitating and struggling for a while, Shao Yu decided to follow and see the situation first. If the giant python was not going to the town before, he would go there quickly to give gifts so that he could find help when the time came.

If it were that place... Shao Yu would never fight alone, because his strength wouldn't allow it, so we'll have to talk about it later.

Shao Yu followed the giant python. Not long after they walked away, the giant python suddenly roared and stopped.

It turned out that a monk and a nun appeared on the route. They blocked the giant python's way, causing the python to roar impatiently and swing its tail around in the dense forest, almost cutting the trees in half.

This allowed Shao Yu to see the two people in front of him.

The monk was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with six scars on his bald head. He had delicate features and was extremely handsome, but his clothes were tattered. The straw sandals that only exposed his toes were worn out from walking so much.

Despite being dressed like this, it did not hide his calmness.

His deep eyes looked at the giant python with compassion. Seeing the giant python roaring in pain and shaking its tail impatiently, he silently chanted "Amitabha" and threw the wooden bowl in his hand for begging into the air.

The wooden bowl flew to the top of the giant python's head and turned upside down. Golden Sanskrit words kept flying out of the bowl. The monk then sat on the ground and silently recited scriptures.

The female cultivator had a serious expression and her eyes were gleaming with brilliance. She was carrying on her shoulder a giant sword that was twice as wide as the one used by other sword cultivators. She stood still, her eyes fixed on the movements of the giant python.

The Sanskrit continued to enter the giant python's body, causing it even more pain, and it fell to the ground in a few seconds.

Shao Yu was delighted, thinking that with these two monks blocking the way, the giant python would surely not be able to escape, so he planned to retreat.

Unexpectedly, the giant python started moving again after a moment, and swung its tail at him. Shao Yu had no idea that the giant python was going to hit him, and he was hit by the giant tail and thrown out when he was not paying attention.

The female cultivator shouted "Be careful" and flew over to catch Shao Yu. The giant python was very cunning. Seeing that the two men were injured and the monk was distracted, it jumped up and opened its mouth to bite the wooden bowl.
