Stars fall and locust trees grow

Li Chi sat under a tree, looking at the large pile of white bones about a foot thick in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face.

It is obvious that this corpse pit is actually the blood python's lair.

Although he has not seen his master yet, he knows very well that at any time, the other party may suddenly appear, leisurely roll him up to death, and finally open his bloody mouth to swallow him, the human meal that has come to his doorstep.

Li Chi rubbed his chin.

Although the glazed armor on his body can resist three attacks from the Spiritual Venerable Realm, it will be useless if it is swallowed by the python's stomach.

Ah, no.

It also has certain uses.

At least it can allow yourself to be digested more slowly.

"Ahhh!"

Li Chi wailed twice, punched a skull of an unknown animal nearby, and began to complain angrily: "It's all the fault of that idiot Gu Chuanlin! He shamelessly said that it's safest to stay with him!"

"I bother!"

"I'm now on the blood python's dining table! Where is safe?!"

His youth after coming back to life has not been wasted, and countless delicacies have not been enjoyed. Li Chi feels that he cannot just sit there and wait for death.

In the storage ring there was a jade balance, an atlas, a map, a set of spare clothes, two small ornaments bought in Shuozhou, a small amount of spiritual food and fruits, and a bunch of talismans and pills sent by Senior Brother Zeng.

There is nothing that can kill someone.

He picked up two pills at random and stuffed them into his mouth.

According to Zeng Muhan, these are top-grade tonic pills refined by the fifth elder Gu Chuandu.

I hope that after eating them, I will be able to run longer when the blood python chases me.

As for that pile of top-grade talismans——

Li Chi carefully took out one and unfolded it.

On the yellow talisman paper, dark purple lines twisted and intertwined in strange arcs, looking like ghostly talismans.

“Ahhh! I feel dizzy! I feel dizzy!”

Li Chi felt more and more disgusted the more he looked at it, so he quickly put the talisman away.

With his current spiritual power, he couldn't even look at this kind of high-grade talisman, and he felt terrible.

He sighed slightly and slowly leaned back against the tree trunk.

The soft touch on his back made Li Chi feel a little strange.

Eh? Why is this tree trunk so soft? !

He remained motionless and felt it carefully for a few seconds, and found that there was a very regular feeling of slight ups and downs.

I rely on!

I'm not fucking leaning on the blood python, am I? !

Li Chi straightened his body and rolled on the ground in failure. He grabbed a leg bone of an unknown animal with his right hand and threw it towards the place he had just passed.

The leg bone suddenly turned less than half a foot away from the tree trunk and flew directly to the side.

It was as if he was knocked away by some external force.

Li Chi squinted his eyes and looked around, but did not see the blood python.

"Not a blood python?!"

He frowned.

If it’s not a blood python, then what the hell could it be?

I've never heard of any tree with a soft trunk!

Could it be some strange monster that can turn invisible? !

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to get close rashly, so he took out a piece of talisman paper from his ring.

Damn it, no matter what kind of monster you are, I’m going to let you taste the power of this top-grade talisman.

Li Chi stood in the pile of bones, staggering as if throwing a talisman, when he saw the tree trunk suddenly move, and a young man in brown clothes walked out.

The young man was waving a fan in his hand with a frivolous look on his face, and just looking at him made people want to punch him.

"Wow! It's the kid from Ming Yue Jian! Long time no see!"

The corners of Li Chi's mouth twitched fiercely. "Why is it you?!"

"How will you be here?!"

Hu Di chuckled, his voice as gentle as ever. "Ah! I was hung on a branch when I first came in, and then I saw a black thing crawling below. I thought it was some rare animal, so I decided to come down and take a look."

Damn, that black thing you were talking about must be me.

Li Chi gritted his teeth and said, "Since you have already seen me, why are you still hiding there furtively?!"

"And you still use such despicable means of stealth!"

Hu Di covered his face and chuckled: "I just want to give you a surprise!"

"Then I thank you?!"

"Ahaha! We are already so familiar with each other, there's no need to thank me."

Li Chi rolled his eyes at him, then waded through the corpses and walked to a tree, where he sat down to rest.

Although this Hu Di has always been extremely unreliable, he still feels a little comforted that he finally has someone to keep him company.

Hu Di knew that Li Chi and Gu Chuanlin had always been inseparable, but now that he was the only one here, he knew that they must have been separated.

So he fanned himself and asked knowingly, "Where is your little master? Doesn't he want you anymore?"

Li Chi glared: "You are talking nonsense! We are just assigned to different positions according to the rules of miracles."

"Oh my! Don't worry! It's just a secret place!" Hu Di said with a bright face: "Even if the little master is not here, I will protect you."

Li Chi didn't believe it at all, raised his eyebrows and said: "You can be so kind?!"

"of course!"

Hu Di put away his fan, raised his right hand and swore: "As long as you can take out the pile of top-grade talismans just now and show them to me for a while, I will use my character to guarantee that I will definitely send you safely to your little master."

"Don't swear here by something you don't have."

This person is not only immoral but also has no quality. I am not so stupid as to believe his lies.

"but……"

Li Chi raised his eyebrows, "If you want to see the talisman, you can."

"You can only look at them one by one in my hands."

Hu Di's elder brother Hu Tian is only a mid-level talisman cultivator, so the higher-level top-grade ones are naturally more attractive to Hu Di.

Isn’t the other party just interested in those top-grade talismans in his hands?

Then he could use these talismans to keep this teammate and fighter.

So, Li Chi generously spread out the talisman in his hand in front of Hu Di and said, "You can only look at it, but you can't touch it."

Hu Di's spiritual sense is relatively strong, and he won't get dizzy after just one look like Li Chi.

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "Wow! Such delicate patterns, such gorgeous lines. Is this the legendary top-quality product?"

Seeing the other party reaching out to touch it, Li Chi immediately put away the talisman. "Okay, we've finished looking, we should crawl out."

"After you get out, look at the next one."

"Oh my! Why are you so anxious?" Hu Di began to fan himself again, "We should calmly analyze the current situation first."

Li Chi: "How to be calm? No, how to analyze?"

I want to see what kind of bullshit you can come up with.

Alakazam: "Well... now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news." Li Chi rubbed his headband which was worth five hundred spirit stones.

In this environment, it is better to listen to something hopeful first.

Alakazam: "Blood pythons like this kind of monsters always like to live alone, so, under normal circumstances, there can only be one blood python around here."

Well...it's still good news.

Li Chi: "What about the bad news?"

"Bad news!" Hu Di paused and said in a gloomy tone: "Now is the mating season for blood pythons, so there may be more than one giant python nearby."

Gan!

"So there is no such thing as good news."

Hu Di didn't comment, but suddenly looked at him seriously. "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Li Chi: "Stop talking nonsense! Just say it straight!"

"The good news is that many of these corpses are human. They may be our ancestors from hundreds or thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago. If we look through them, we may find some magical instruments or other life-saving items."

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Chi made a move to stand up but was stopped by Hu Di.

"I wanted to say it, but it's too late."

"Too late? What do you mean?" Li Chi was confused: "What do you mean?"

Hu Di's face suddenly became serious: "Because I am going to tell you the bad news now."

"what?"

He pointed his fan at Li Chi's head, signaling him to look up.

Li Chi looked upwards in confusion, and his sight met the head of a huge reddish-brown python.

The heads of python-like monsters are usually smaller than their bodies.

The head of the blood python in front of us is as big as two hair balls. You can imagine how big its body is.

"I rely on it!"

Li Chi jumped up on the spot, uttering all kinds of foul language.

Alakazam!

"Fuck you! You are such a jerk!"
