Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 635

Correspondingly, the dark beast looked like a giant gray wolf that was three to four times larger in size.

However, its body surface is deep black, and its tail is as slender as a leopard's tail, giving people an elegant and mysterious visual feeling.

Judging from its body shape and appearance, this dark beast has undoubtedly just entered adulthood and is slightly thinner than other of its kind. However, its pair of black and white eyes stare coldly at the Blue Night Python, flashing with endless ferocity.

What is puzzling is that although the dark beast was eyeing the giant python, it did not attack immediately.

The battle between an adult dark beast and a frenzied green night python usually ends with the former obtaining the inner elixir. However, in a few cases, the dark beast will be devoured by the green night python.

When the two suddenly met at this moment, the dark beast was ecstatic, but did not rush to attack.

Although the Green Night Python's strength doubled in its frenzy state, it also exposed its own weaknesses in that brief moment.

If we can seize this opportunity, perhaps we can strike a fatal blow.

Although the Green Night Python showed an attitude of being about to go crazy, it actually did not dare to act rashly.

As a result, the two sides fell into a strange confrontation.

In the Dark Beast Forest, all kinds of wild animals have long developed the habit of going out to forage for food at night and meditating in caves during the day.

In addition, the trees in the forest are extremely tall. Even at the edge of the forest, the lush leaves almost block out the sun. Looking up, one can only glimpse darkness through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

It was the darkest hour of the night.

If it weren't for the faint light emitted by some low grass and trees around, this place would probably be pitch dark.

Time passed quietly. The giant python and the dark beast had been confronting each other for a whole meal. The stalemate made people feel depressing.

After a long wait, the dark beast finally couldn't bear it anymore. It growled, and its body moved, slowly spinning around the giant python.

Although the movements seemed silent, it seemed as if his body was invisible.

Faced with this situation, the Green Night Python's snake core spit out more and more rapidly, while making threatening "hissing" sounds from its mouth.

However, the fierce light in the dark beast's eyes gradually became hotter, and the claws of its two front limbs moved slightly, releasing dark and sharp claws about half an arm long.

At the same time, its slender black tail waved several times in the air, making a loud noise that tore through space.

The head of the Blue Night Python moved with the movement of the Dark Beast, so it could naturally see every move of its opponent. When it saw the Dark Beast swinging its tail, it seemed to be stimulated by something, and its hissing suddenly became rapid.

The dark green scales on its body flashed and began to rise and fall, and its body expanded rapidly like a balloon.

The entire snake skin was instantly stretched to its limit.

In just a breath, a sharp "sizzling" sound was heard!

The entire snake skin broke into pieces in an instant, and a snake body that was nearly half the size of the previous one appeared.

The python scales are still dark green, but the patterns between the scales have turned silver-white, and these patterns are intertwined to form runes of different sizes, flashing a faint silver glow.

When the gaze turned to the top of the Green Night Python, a single horn as white as jade grew on its head, and the spiral pattern on the surface coiled from bottom to top, appearing extremely sharp.

At this moment, the giant python's eyes turned from emerald green to bright blood red, filled with endless fanaticism and anger.

Just as it completed its transformation, the dark creature that had been hiding nearby attacked without hesitation.

There was a flash of black light, and then the dark creature disappeared into the night.

However, in the next moment, the python's head tilted to one side, and the same black light flashed again, and the dark creature suddenly emerged from the night.

At the same time, several black claws shot out as fast as lightning, pointing directly at the seven inches below the giant python's neck.

At the point believed to be the python's seven inches, there were several scales with a faint red luster.

This is the vulnerability exposed after the python completes its transformation.

Even if an ordinary flying sword hit these scales, it would be enough to cause serious damage to the giant python.

If you are really touched by the sharp claws of the dark creatures, you will probably immediately fall into serious injuries that cannot be recovered.

However, this weakness only exists for a short period of time after the giant python transforms into a blue night python, and it will soon return to a color similar to its other scales.

And after that, the scales are even harder and stronger than other parts of the python's body.

A few dull "bang bang" sounds were heard, and the claws landed steadily on the scales, causing the Green Night Python's body to tremble involuntarily a few times.

However, the claws only slid past seven inches below the python. Fortunately, the giant python subconsciously made a quick evasive action and cleverly avoided this fatal attack.

There were only a few faint red scratches on the python's neck, and the blood that flowed out seemed insignificant, and the wounds did not seem to be very deep. Such a sudden attack undoubtedly completely enraged the python, which was already in a manic state.

There was a deafening roar, and the python's tail suddenly swung upwards.

In an instant, green shadows appeared in the air and swept towards the dark creatures with the force of sweeping away thousands of troops.

The whistling sound instantly resounded throughout the sky.

Faced with an unsuccessful attack and the opponent's imminent counterattack, the dark creature did not show any panic. Instead, its body shook slightly, and then two black lights were released from its body.

As they rolled, the two rays of light transformed into two pitch-black monsters.

These two shadow-like monsters were very similar in appearance to the dark creatures, except that their bodies were slightly blurry and they were flashing with black and grey light.

Once they appeared, they opened their sharp claws and rushed into the air together with the dark creatures.

The "chi chi" sound of the claws became stronger and stronger, and immediately collided with the green shadow in the air.

After a shocking explosion, the claw light and the green shadow disappeared at the same time, as if it was a fight between two evenly matched opponents.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of green light exploded above the head of a black monster.

A huge python head leaped out from the green light and swallowed the black monster into its stomach with lightning speed.

Then it swung its neck again and launched a fierce attack towards the other black monster, as if intending to devour it as well.

However, at this moment, the dark creature shot out from a strange angle, its mouth opened wide, and it actually expanded to the point where it could accommodate something several feet in size. The inside was full of sharp teeth like blades, and it bit towards the body of the giant python.

If it were really bitten by this huge mouth, I believe even a creature as huge as the Green Night Python would find it difficult to withstand this destructive force and would eventually be torn into two.

However, after completing the transformation, the Green Night Python's reaction speed was no less than that of the dark creature. Its head quickly shrank, and then twisted again. It opened its mouth wide without fear and directly faced the opponent's attack.

At this moment, its original target, another black monster, twisted its body, and its body instantly became extremely long, rushing towards the giant python like a thick rope.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a fierce battle between the two ferocious beasts broke out instantly. Both sides refused to give in, and the intensity of the battle reached a fever pitch.

However, in a mysterious area more than ten miles away from the battle zone, a seemingly ordinary towering ancient tree hides an astonishing secret - a huge tree hole with a diameter of two meters appears inside it.

At this moment, in this mysterious space, three mysterious figures were sitting cross-legged. They surrounded a mirror suspended in the low air, concentrating on observing the constantly changing images in it.

The back of the mirror was shining with dazzling silver light, while the mirror surface was emitting a faint green light, reflecting an extremely clear picture.

The scene shown in the picture was the scene of the dark beast and the blue night python fighting to the death! All the details were exactly the same as the scene in the distance, except that it was reduced countless times.

These three mysterious figures are Lin Mo in a green robe, Liu Shuier in a white cloak, and Shi Kun with a dark yellow complexion.

After half a month of arduous journey, they finally arrived at their destination. At this moment, their faces were grim, their eyes were fixed on the mirror, and they didn't even blink.

About half an hour later, the dark beast in the mirror suddenly split into hundreds of black bats, and finally successfully defeated the wounded Green Night Python, swallowed its beast pill, and then left triumphantly.

At this moment, Liu Shuier sighed softly, stretched out her hand and waved a spell to hit the mirror. In an instant, the image in the mirror disappeared.

"Everyone, you have witnessed the power of the dark beast with your own eyes. What do you think about this?"

Liu Shuier asked first, her tone full of curiosity.

Shi Kun frowned and thought for a moment, then replied: "If it is a one-on-one fight, I am confident that I can gain the upper hand within ten breaths and kill him within thirty breaths."

Liu Shuier smiled slightly and then asked, "So, if three to four, or even more dark beasts appear in front of you at the same time, how will you deal with it?"

Shi Kun's expression became more serious. He hesitated for a moment, then answered frankly, "If these dark beasts all have the strength of the dark beast just now, then when the number exceeds three, I cannot guarantee victory; if it reaches five or more, I will definitely lose; as for more than ten, I will choose to flee immediately without hesitation."

Liu Shuier nodded and continued to explain: "According to the information I have, there are tens of thousands of dark beasts in the Dark Beast Forest, and their magical powers vary greatly. According to the records in the classics, the magical power of the dark beast just now should be lower than that of an ordinary adult dark beast, otherwise it would not have fought so hard against the Green Night Python for so long. Above the ordinary dark beasts, there are two more advanced dark beasts. One is called the Three-Eyed Dark Beast. Not only is its strength far superior to that of ordinary dark beasts, its third eye can also release a strange light. Once hit, the body will quickly rot, which is extremely difficult to deal with. The other is a king-level dark beast. The fur of this kind of dark beast is no longer black, but pure gold. How strong is its true strength is still unknown. It is said that among the predecessors who broke into the Dark Beast Forest, only one person had witnessed this kind of dark beast leading hundreds of adult dark beasts galloping through the forest from a distance."

Lin Mo also joined the discussion. He slowly said, "I have also read the relevant books. As for the three-eyed dark beast, I think I can only deal with one at most. If I encounter two at the same time, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. As for the golden dark beast, since it can lead the beast group, its magical power must be far superior to the three-eyed dark beast. Even if the three of us join forces, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with it. However, since it is a beast king-like existence, there will not be too many in the entire dark beast forest. Therefore, we don't need to worry too much about this matter."

"Indeed, what you said makes sense. In fact, we had no plan to provoke those strange beasts. We just hoped to pass through the forest in a low profile within the next month. However, it is regrettable that if we can fly from a high place, we can successfully cross the entire forest in just a few days; on the contrary, walking on the ground will take more than ten times the time." Liu Shuier sighed softly.

"Despite this, this period of time is still acceptable for us. Besides, we have no other choice. If we choose to pass through the sky, we will undoubtedly face the siege of dozens or even hundreds of dark beasts." Lin Mo responded with a wry smile.

"Of course, my younger sister is aware of this. According to the experience of previous generations who crossed the Dark Beast Forest, the strength of the Dark Beasts cannot be fully exerted during the day. Therefore, during the day, the Dark Beast Forest is more strictly guarded. Many high-level dark beasts with three eyes will go out on patrol during the day. At night, the strength of the dark beasts is greatly improved, and the guard will be relaxed. The high-level dark beasts will also return to the caves to practice and rest." Liu Shuier nodded slightly in agreement.

"So that's how it is. It seems we have to travel at night and rest during the day. I thought it was the other way around!" Shi Kun said with a little surprise after hearing this.

"I very much agree with Fairy Liu's point of view. In addition to the fact that high-level dark beasts will go out during the day, our hiding skills will be weakened to a certain extent during the day, and it will be difficult to avoid the sight of those three-eyed dark beasts. After all, most multi-eyed beasts have the ability to see through illusions and hide. Whether it is day or night, once we are surrounded by hundreds of dark beasts, there is almost no difference to us. Therefore, we prefer to travel at night." Lin Mo gave this advice after careful consideration.

"Oh, what you two comrades said is very accurate. Very good, then let's carry out the action tonight." Shi Kun seemed to have been deeply moved when he heard it, and there was no more objection in his eyes.
