This roar was the "shouting sound" from the Iron Punishment War Post, which Ji Yuan used his own spiritual energy to circulate. It was originally a sonic skill used by police to intimidate villains.
In fact, there is nothing special about it. It is just a technique to make the voice as loud as possible, but the roar from Zijiyuan's mouth has a majestic feeling like the roar of thunder.
Not only was there a roar of waves in the river below, but many villagers who were still dazed or had just come out of their houses were suddenly frightened. Some were just shaken by the fright, while some were even frightened to the point of sitting down on the ground.
All the dogs in the village stopped barking temporarily out of fear.
Ji Yuan could see that the giant snake in the river was obviously shaking, and the ripples of the river water were shaking. With this shaking, a demonic aura was obviously rising from the snake's body, but it was not strong, at least far less than Lu Shanjun's.
"Very good, it really hasn't become a big deal yet!"
Ji Yuan could even see a hint of panic in the big snake's eyes, and now he felt much more calm. Momentum is something that grows as one person loses while the other loses. If people are a little afraid of me, I will naturally be three times braver.
The merchant who was originally obsessed with beauty was instantly awakened by this shout. Although he could not see through the monster's transformed body, he could see the terrifying snake body in its lower half.
“Ah~~~~~~A monster~~~!”
The explosive power of a person struggling for his life should never be underestimated. He took advantage of the opportunity when the big snake was frightened by Ji Yuan and kicked his legs in the water very fast, like a little girl stepping on a big rat, and jumped onto the shore by kicking the snake's body.
"Hiss..."
The big snake was so afraid of Ji Yuan that it didn't chase him. However, it seemed unwilling to give up and swept its tail up to the shore, knocking the merchant down. The merchant rolled and crawled away, still trying to escape.
“Help! Help~~~!”
It was not until then that Ji Yuan and the extremely frightened merchant could truly see the size of the giant snake. Its body, as thick as a bucket, was four meters long.
Ji Yuan didn't care whether this was a test on himself or not. He was already extremely excited and was holding back a lot of anger. When he saw this almost provocative scene, he immediately took action.
He wouldn't go into the water to fight a big snake, but getting on land was a different story.
With a wave of his hand, a pile of dry firewood in front of the house floated up in front of Ji Yuan. He grabbed the firewood with a sword-raising gesture, and jumped directly off the roof and floated outside the fence. With a step, his speed increased rapidly, and his body movements reached the extreme, reaching the river in almost an instant.
Dancing with the Dragon Sword and using the sleight of hand, the figure slid like a winding afterimage.
Compared to using sleight of hand directly in front of the monster, this kind of false and real tricks should be more effective.
"Hiss..."
The snake's tail swept across Ji Yuan's body with the sound of wind, but it only passed through the afterimage as if it had broken through a layer of foam. This tempting action made Ji Yuan more certain that even though the big snake was scary, its reaction speed could not match his own.
The next moment after dodging twice, Ji Yuan's real body flashed behind the snake's tail that had just swept to the side like a shadow. Inside the sleeve of his right arm, which was made of wood, a bean-sized flame was fluttering under the impact of spiritual energy.
"Snakes are of the Yin element, and they use the lights of the people's homes as a guide to ward off the fire of people's livelihood. Let's see if you can block my sword!"
Ji Yuan, who had been hiding his clumsiness at this moment, seemed to reveal his true self from the shadows that were chasing after his body from behind at the moment when his sword was swung. The whole piece of firewood "boomed" and caught fire. It seemed that the fire would not burn Ji Yuan at all, and even his sleeves were not burnt.
The top of the mostly burned firewood had become as sharp as a sword. As the body rushed forward, the sword moved extremely fast and its intent was as strong as a dragon.
The dragon sends fire!
Recalling the last move of the sword dance in the courtyard.
“Zhe~~~!”
He let out a shocking roar.
“Sizzle~”
The tip of the sword pierced into the flesh through the gap in the snake scales. At the same time, with a whoosh, the entire burning wooden sword turned into ashes. Endless flames mixed with sword intent were like a swimming dragon, and in an instant it broke into the body of the big snake through the gap created by the stab.
After a successful attack, Ji Yuan stomped on the ground almost at the same time, making a small hole, and quickly retreated backwards. While quickly running away, he stretched out his left arm and grabbed the businessman's belt.
One of them was like a flying roc, and the other was like a dead dog caught by an eagle. In an instant, they retreated dozens of steps away from the big snake.
"Hiss..."
"Bang... Bang... "
The big snake could no longer maintain its deception, and most of its body was shaking wildly. Many villagers who had already gathered around the fence could see with their naked eyes that the end of the snake's tail was stabbed by the sword, and a fiery red light was shining through the scales and constantly rising up the snake's body.
“Hiss~~~~~~~” “Bang…bang…”
The snake's body flipped into the water, causing the surface of the water to become scalding and produce bursts of white mist, and its struggle caused waves on the river surface.
With a loud "boom", a small boat on the river was torn apart by the painful big snake.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan took a deep breath in fear, thinking that if his current body was hit like this, he would be in trouble.
“Hiss~~~Roar~~~”
The snake hissed in pain and let out a hoarse roar. It found that it still couldn't put out the fire in its body in the river. In the extreme situation where its life was seriously threatened, the snake in the river opened its mouth and bit its own body slightly higher than the tail end...
"Puff...Crack~~"
The sound of scales, blood, bones and flesh being torn apart made the scalps of everyone, including Ji Yuan, tingle. The giant snake was so fierce that it bit off at least a quarter of its body, including its tail.
The river channel was instantly dyed red by the snake's blood, but the big snake did not dare to stay and fled downstream by frantically stirring up the river muddy.
This scene happened in just a few seconds, and Ji Yuan, the instigator, was unable to react in time.
"You evil creature! You actually cut off your tail to survive~~~!"
Just when he was about to chase after her, Ji Yuan stopped again. This guy was more trapped than a trapped animal, and he was in the water, so he was exhausted...
Two seconds later, Ji Yuan shouted again.
"Where are the day and night patrols under the jurisdiction of the City God of Suiyuan County?"
The huge roar rolled in waves, echoing across the empty wilderness.
"A monster has appeared in the county, causing mischief and harming people. I hope it will show up and arrest it as soon as possible~~~!"
The huge roar spread far away, and the sound waves echoed like the whistling wind.
"I hope you will show up and arrest them soon... Show up and arrest them..."
Ji Yuan covered his chest to calm the remaining spiritual energy in his body that was consumed excessively, and also suppressed his crazy heartbeat. He had already performed beyond his level, and this was all he could do!
. . .
At this moment, apart from the sound of water caused by the big snake's hasty escape, there was only the snake's tail, which was still glowing red and attached to the water surface, emitting bursts of white mist.
The chickens and dogs around, as well as the villagers who had just gathered around the fence to watch the end of the show, were all silent, and it took them a long time to recover from the huge shock.
"It's a monster..."
"Beautiful snake!"
"Hey! It's right by the river..."
"This merchant saved his life!"
"Fortunately, a master passed by, otherwise our village would be in danger!"
"What do you mean he just passed by? He stayed here last night and was received by Old Xu!"
"Did this master just call for the City God's ghost messenger?"
“I don’t know…”
"Hey, don't go out, don't disturb the master's practice!"
…
“Woof woof woof…Woof woof woof…” “Woof woof woof…”
The domestic dogs in the village rushed out at this moment, squeezed through the half-open gap in the fence, ran to the river, and barked wildly at the river.
Ji Yuan slowly adjusted his state and suppressed his excitement, looking at these dogs with a somewhat amusing look, "What were you doing just now!"
After a while, it was clear that the fight was really over, and a brave villager finally opened the wooden door in the fence and came out.
Just as the village chief was pulling old man Xu who had been awakened over to chat with Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan's expression changed and he looked towards the other side of the river. Two sinister shadows crossed the river and came close.
The official robe finally made Ji Yuan feel relieved.
When the two ghost messengers passed by, the dogs by the river whimpered and ran away, and the people around them also felt the chill.
The ghost messengers stopped ten feet in front of Ji Yuan and bowed to him together.
"The night patrol under the command of the City God of Suiyuan County has met this immortal!"
The section of the snake's tail that was still glowing red was so conspicuous that no one could ignore it, and it was even more impossible to be sure what kind of magical power had caused the injury.
Ji Yuan didn't wait for them to ask anything, he just spoke and quickly explained the situation.
"Tonight, a snake demon appeared in the river in front of this village, trying to suck the blood and flesh of men by tricking them into offering sacrifices. I happened to be staying in the village, and when I noticed this, I attacked it angrily. However, I didn't expect that the demon would cut off its tail to survive after being hit by my sword. I hope you will report this to the City God of Suiyuan County as soon as possible, and have him kill this beast!"
The two ghost messengers bowed again at a 90-degree angle.
"Thank you, Immortal, for saving the people of Suiyuan County. Thank you, Immortal, for giving us the opportunity to make amends. We will kill the monster before it escapes from Suiyuan's jurisdiction!"
After saying this, the two ghost messengers disappeared in an instant, one went downstream, and the other went to the far side of the river, which was probably where Suiyuan County was.
