Above the source of Tao

An hour later.

"Everyone, there is a city in the distance, do you see it?"

Senior Brother Gu Jin pointed to a ruined city in the distance and said that Yun Changan and others followed the direction of Gu Jin's finger and saw an extremely ruined city, which was only a dozen miles away from where they were.

Everyone was overjoyed and quickened their pace, rushing towards the city. Just as Yun Changan and others were preparing to get up, the strong wind blew again, but no one took it seriously.

With a roar, a thick tail swept towards Yun Changan and others.

"There's a Yuan Beast, get out of the way!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately scattered. Lin Yuan'er had no time to react and stared blankly at the huge tail swinging towards her.

"careful!"

Seeing this, Yun Chang'an, in a hurry, threw Lin Yuan'er into his arms to avoid the tail. Then he stood up and pulled Lin Yuan'er to run away, putting some distance between them and the tail.

"Are you OK."

After confirming that it was safe, Yun Chang'an turned to look at Lin Yuan'er and said.

"No...it's okay..."

Lin Yuan'er spoke hesitantly, and seeing Yun Chang'an's concerned expression, she blushed instantly.

"Are you really okay? Your face is hurt, why is it so red?"

"Ah I......"

At this time, Lin Yuan'er was speaking hesitantly, and the voice of the eldest brother came, asking them if they were injured.

After responding to the eldest senior brother, Yun Chang'an finally saw the original appearance of this Yuan Beast. It was an anaconda, very large, several dozen feet long, brown all over, with large black-edged wind-cloud-shaped python patterns on both sides of its back. It looked very scary, with several brown spots on its head and horns on both sides of its head, but they were very short, and the fangs in its mouth were thick and sharp.

"This Yuan Beast is really terrifying."

Yun Chang'an looked at the anaconda, which was coiling its body, with its front body upright and its tongue sticking out, staring at Yun Chang'an and others.

Yun Changan and the others gathered together and discussed countermeasures. This Yuan beast was so huge that it was difficult to deal with. They could only maneuver around it and could not attack it forcefully.

"I have a talisman here that can trap it for an incense stick of time."

Lin Yuaner took out a talisman from her storage ring and handed it to Gu Jin. The eldest brother's eyes sparkled. This is a treasure. If we can trap him, we can escape from here.

After that, he said to the three people, "Later, Junior Sister and I will attack it head-on. Junior Brother, you take Junior Sister Yuan'er to trap the anaconda. Then we will run and meet up in Minglin Castle."

Just like that, after discussing the countermeasures, they took action. Gu Jin held a big knife, and Senior Sister He held a jade sword, and they confronted the anaconda.

The anaconda saw that someone dared to confront it with weapons, and wanted to play a trick on them, but when it saw someone rushing up, it instantly became angry, roared, and spit out a stream of cold air, attacking Gu Jin and Senior Sister He.

When Gu Jin saw the anaconda attacking him, he instantly turned his energy into a shield to block the cold air.

"Damn it. This anaconda can actually turn air into ice."

Gu Jin was injured by the cold air at this time, and one of his arms was frozen. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have died at the hands of this spiritual boa constrictor.

"This anaconda has been able to transform its qi into form. I'm afraid it has already reached the late stage of the Spiritual Realm, and is only one step away from entering the Body Tempering Realm."

The four of us are definitely not strong enough to defeat this anaconda. I wonder how well prepared my junior brother is.

At this time, Yun Chang'an took Lin Yuan'er and hid in a bush, restraining their breath, waiting for the boa constrictor to reveal a flaw.

Seeing Senior Brother and Senior Sister He in danger, he couldn't help but become nervous, hoping that nothing would happen to them. Seeing that the boa constrictor swung its tail again to attack Gu Jin, Yun Changan felt that his chance had come.

"It's now."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan'er held a talisman in her hand and muttered the spell to activate the talisman. Then Lin Yuan'er swung it forward, and the talisman flew towards the boa constrictor's head.

A mysterious light appeared from the anaconda's head, and patterns appeared directly below it, gathering the five elements of vitality.

"Array up."

Then, chains like shackles appeared on the anaconda, trapping it. This talisman was engraved with a formation, which was indeed magical. Yun Changan had only seen the formation formed by Fairy Shichen using beads, but he did not expect that talismans could also form a formation.

It worked. Yun Chang'an was overjoyed and wanted to pull Lin Yuan'er towards the city. However, when the boa constrictor saw that he could not move, it let out angry roars from behind him.

When Lin Yuan'er saw Yun Chang'an pulling up her hand, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"what happened?"

Yun Chang'an noticed that Lin Yuan'er was acting strangely and asked.

"No...it's okay..."

"Then let's go quickly. I don't know how the senior brothers are doing."

"Oh..."

Half an incense stick later, Yun Chang'an and others arrived outside the city.

"This place is really desolate."

Yun Chang'an and others came here. The desolation before them made them feel what kind of war had gone through here to turn this big city into such a dilapidated state. There were still many bloodstains on the city walls, and the scars of being slashed by weapons were vivid. The western wall had collapsed after the baptism of time.

After entering the city, corpses were lying all over the streets. The houses on both sides of the road were like city walls. Some houses had even been burned by fire, and some houses seemed to have been frozen, with bursts of cold air crawling on the walls.

"What on earth has this city gone through to become what it is today?"

When Yun Chang'an saw these scenes, he couldn't help but sigh. Judging from the looks of it, it must have been extremely prosperous before, even more prosperous than Shanglin City, but now it is very desolate.

"Master said that there is a garden to the east of this city. That's where the Netherworld Flower is. Let's go take a look."
