On the opposite side of the cliff upstream, three men and one woman stood there like statues, motionless.
"There's someone on the other side." The woman with long hair whispered.
It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the weather was good, but the woman was holding a flowery umbrella, which was very strange.
The person next to her was a monk with a round face, round eyes, and a round head. Around his neck hung a string of prayer beads. Each bead was the size of a fist and rotated automatically around his neck without touching his body.
"Sanniang, the people near Tianmen Town may not be real people."
The monk said expressionlessly, "Not everyone in Shuofang City is human, let alone this strange place called Tianmen Town. The man opposite is accompanied by four fox demons. He is most likely a transformed demon, not a human."
"We came here this time to see who is bold enough to touch anyone from our Tong family, but we didn't expect to encounter a poisonous viper that transformed into a dragon."
The third man was a scholar with a handsome appearance. He said slowly, "The value of a dragon is extraordinary, and a poisonous dragon is even higher. After this poisonous viper transformed into a dragon, it became a highly poisonous black dragon. It would be great to keep it as a guard, as a mount, or give it to the dignitaries in the Eastern Capital."
The fourth person was a young man, who was the scholar who traveled with Tong Fan, Yang Sheng and others in the Ghost Market. However, his eyesight was too weak and he was a little far away across the stream. He could not see Su Yun's appearance clearly in the moonlight and did not recognize him.
The young scholar said, "Uncle Xuan, Yang Sheng has already gone to catch that kid, but there has been no news in the past few days. I don't know if anything will happen."
"Yang Sheng is a good young man and can be promoted."
The scholar Tong Xuan said, "He's just a little eager for quick success. He can be useful after a few years of polishing. The Tong family needs such people, but their ambitions need to be suppressed."
He was an old hand, well-informed, and knew that Yang Sheng worked so hard to please the Tong family and take advantage of the situation to rise to prominence. But he didn't expect that Yang Sheng was already dead.
"The key is Tianmen Town."
Confucian scholar Tong Xuan frowned and said, "It's strange that we haven't found Tianmen Town in the past few days."
The monk said, "Tianmen Town is very strange. I heard that the incident that year even alarmed the Emperor of Dongdu..."
He frowned and didn't continue talking. The others seemed to have remembered something that was taboo for them and stopped talking.
Below, the breathing of the big black snake in the Snake Stream suddenly became rapid. The moonlight from the bright moon in the sky actually gathered together, forming a beam of light as thick as a bucket in the air, shining obliquely towards the Snake Stream!
The light was condensed, causing the surroundings to become dim.
I saw the light shining on the big black snake coiled on the reef. The light spot moved from the snake's head along the body, slowly moved to the tail, and then from the tail to the head.
Wherever the light spot shone, there was a crackling sound, as if something was exploding.
The skin on the big black snake's head had cracked, and the crack was exactly where Su Yun had cut it with his snake sword.
At this time, the big black snake had already poked out its long beak from its skin.
The reason why it is called a kiss-beak is that compared with a real dragon, the mouth of a Jiaolong is thin and long, like a bird's beak, but it is full of extremely sharp dragon teeth, making it look very ferocious.
The small dragon horns on the big black snake's head were also revealed, and the body under the snake skin squirmed bit by bit. Under the highly concentrated moonlight, the black scales appeared metallic in color.
Although Su Yun could not see this scene, he immediately felt the changes in the big black snake's blood and energy!
Originally, the big black snake's qi and blood were like a big egg. At this moment, he felt that there was a creature in the egg that was wriggling its body and refining qi and blood.
The strangest thing is the way the blood flows in the big egg. The blood of the big black snake forms several strange patterns on the surface of this big egg.
In Su Yun's "vision", these textures flickered. As they flickered, the big black snake's blood was constantly being purified, sublimated, purified again, and sublimated again!
Each time the Qi and blood are purified and sublimated, it is accompanied by the breathing of the big black snake. It is purified when exhaling and sublimated when inhaling.
What puzzled Su Yun was that the big black snake's energy and blood did not decrease at all, but instead tended to become stronger and stronger. This was absolutely against common sense!
The "Qi" in "Qi and Blood" refers to the vital energy, and "Xue" refers to the blood.
During the process of purification and sublimation, the total amount of Yuan Qi decreased, while the big black snake increased.
"Perhaps it is the result of him absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon."
Su Yun thought in his heart: "There is also a way to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon in the Honglu Transmutation. I get up early every day and breathe in and out towards the morning sun to absorb the essence of the sun. However, the speed at which the whole village absorbs the essence through eating is many times faster than the Honglu Transmutation!"
He carefully memorized the texture on the large egg of qi and blood that he "saw", and tried to use the alchemy furnace in his body as a cauldron and his own vital energy as the large egg, placing it on the cauldron.
Su Yun tried to make the Yuan Qi Egg rise and fall with his breathing, and also tried to form those strange patterns on the Yuan Qi Egg. However, he could not do it right. He always felt that something was missing. He thought it must be because the Big Black Snake's technique was extremely special.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a weaker aura of qi and blood around him.
“It’s the villagers nearby!”
Su Yun was shocked: "They have suffered a lot, so they took advantage of the whole village eating and transforming to take his life!"
As time passed, the energy and blood in the surrounding mountains and forests became more and more abundant, and soon Su Yun sensed hundreds of energy and blood auras.
"It's going to be lively now!" Su Yun was very excited.
At the bottom of the mountain stream, the big black snake had shed the skin on its head, revealing a head as huge as a bull's head. His body squirmed, and his blood and eggs suddenly became extremely bright.
A buzzing sound came from the egg, and the leaves of the surrounding woods rustled, and the water in the Snake Stream was suddenly covered with ripples!
Suddenly, thunder was heard in the sky. Huahu, the four people opposite, and the "villagers" hiding in the surrounding woods all looked up, only to see that the moon in the sky had been blocked by clouds at some point.
The moonlight penetrated the clouds like glowing lines, shining on the giant snake transforming in the Snake Stream.
The moonlight rubbed against the clouds, causing bursts of thunder to be heard from inside the clouds, and occasionally a light would appear from the clouds.
That is lightning.
When the lightning flashed, a dragon-like shadow could be vaguely seen swimming in the clouds. It was unclear whether it was a real dragon or an illusion created by the shadow.
Su Yun could not see this scene, but he "saw" a stream of qi and blood rising into the sky from the qi and blood egg and connecting with a cloud of qi and blood in the sky.
What he "saw" was completely different from what others saw!
"Gee—"
The big black snake raised its dragon head and a loud dragon roar was heard, echoing through the mountains!
The big black snake twisted its body and leaped forward suddenly, breaking free from a piece of snake skin. With a snap, a shiny black claw full of power emerged from the snake skin and dug deeply into the reef.
This half-snake, half-dragon monster raised its head and let out an even louder dragon roar. The clouds in the sky seemed to have received an order. A blood-red light burst out from the clouds and struck towards the monster!
Snap—
The lightning was like a sharp blade that split the night sky and illuminated Snake Gorge. At this moment, it was as bright as day.
The half-snake, half-dragon monster was hacked to pieces, blood was dripping, and cheers suddenly came from the surrounding mountains and forests: "Good!"
The Confucian scholar Tong Xuan took advantage of the light of thunder to look, and saw monsters dancing wildly in the surrounding mountains and forests. Those monsters were extremely happy to see the dragon suffering.
"Tianmen Town is a hundred miles in radius, it is indeed an uninhabited area. It has completely turned into a world of demons!" He frowned.
Su Yun did not "see" the blood-red thunder falling. What he saw was a more pure and refined blood and energy in the blood and energy cloud rushing towards the big blood and energy egg!
What he saw was not the big black snake being chopped to pieces, but the dragon in the egg devouring the blood and energy to rebuild its body, allowing itself to transform and evolve!
He couldn't see with his naked eyes, he could only sense the qi and blood, and the scene he "saw" was completely different!
"This qi and blood is so strong, is the whole village's diet transformed by relying on this qi and blood?"
He had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. The transformation from a snake to a dragon was a leap from one life form to another. It was not enough to rely solely on practice and accumulation. He had to borrow the power of heaven and earth to transform himself!
"The whole village eating is borrowing the energy of heaven and earth to help us transform!"
Su Yun didn't know whether the blood and energy cloud in the sky was the blood and energy of heaven and earth, but the whole village was eating it to transform, using the power of heaven and earth to allow themselves to leap into another form of life and turn into a dragon!
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and felt it myself, I would have thought that transcending the tribulation meant being struck by lightning. I didn't expect there were so many tricks involved!"
Su Yun became excited: "My Crocodile Dragon Roar is going to transform the crocodile dragon's blood into the dragon's blood, and achieve the dragon transformation. Can it also be transformed like this?"
He was very excited: "I don't know how to gather the energy and blood of heaven and earth, but the whole village knows! Maybe I can try to borrow some of his energy and blood!"
He immediately tried again, forming a large vital energy egg above the furnace of heaven and earth in his body and controlling the flickering of vital energy.
At this time, the second lightning fell from the sky and struck the transformed dragon in the Snake Stream.
Before the lightning fell into the Snake Gorge, for some reason, it split into a small streak of lightning, which struck Su Yun's head beside them in front of the horrified gazes of Hua Hu, Hu Buping, Qing Qiu Yue and Li Xiao Fan.
