Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er found a deep cave in the remote valley. The entrance of the cave was covered by vines, and it was difficult to find without careful observation.

"Wan'er, let's go in and take a look first. Maybe we can have a good rest here." Xiao Muchen said.

Lin Wan'er nodded, and the two of them walked into the cave carefully.

The cave was dark and damp, with water dripping from the walls, making crisp sounds. The ground was covered with strange-shaped stones, and occasionally a few unknown insects would quickly crawl by.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er found a relatively dry place, sat on the ground, closed their eyes, and began to practice Qigong. The Dou Qi in Xiao Muchen's body was like a surging river, surging through his meridians. With each cycle of the meridians, he could feel the Dou Qi repairing the meridians and internal organs damaged in the battle. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. It was obvious that the process of repairing the injury was not easy.

Lin Wan'er bit her lips lightly, and a soft glow emanated from her body. Her breathing gradually became steady, and her originally pale face slowly regained its rosy color. The technique she practiced was gentle, like a gurgling stream, nourishing her body.

Time passed by minute by minute. After several hours of concentrated recuperation, Xiao Muchen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. He took a deep breath, feeling the changes in his body, and his injuries had recovered by 70% to 80%.

"Wan'er, I'm much better now. How about you?" Xiao Muchen looked at Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er also finished her training, opened her beautiful eyes, and replied with a smile: "Brother Muchen, I have almost recovered."

Just as the two were about to get up, Xiao Muchen's eyes were inadvertently attracted by a strange light deep in the cave. The light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, as if calling them.

"Wan'er, look over there." Xiao Muchen said, pointing in the direction of the light.

Lin Wan'er looked in the direction of his finger, with curiosity in her eyes.

The two walked cautiously towards the light. The further they went, the more humid the air became. Water droplets from the cave wall dripped onto their shoulders. The light also became stronger, stinging their eyes slightly.

When I got closer, I saw an exquisite jade box placed on a protruding rock. The jade box emitted a mysterious light, and the air around it seemed to be distorted by this light.

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, carefully stretched out his hand, and gently opened the jade box. A strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose, instantly filling the entire cave. In the box lay a round pill, with mysterious patterns lingering on the pill, as if it contained endless power.

"Could this be the Shengyuan Pill that can help people break through to the Dou Sheng level?" Xiao Muchen was overjoyed, and his voice trembled a little.

However, before they could rejoice further, a low roar sounded in the cave.

"Roar!"

This voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying endless majesty and anger. A strong pressure instantly filled the entire cave, and Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er's faces turned pale in an instant.

I saw a huge python slowly crawling out of the darkness. Its body was as thick as a pillar, and the scales on its body were shining with strange light, each one was like a sharp blade. Its eyes were like two huge lanterns, revealing a ferocious and cunning light. It was the ancient monster nightmare python.

The Nightmare Python had already transformed into a human form, a tall man with a ferocious face. He was wearing a black robe, with messy hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were full of disdain for Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er.

"Two little kids, you dare to dream of getting your hands on this treasure?" The Nightmare Python sneered, his voice full of sarcasm.

After saying that, he opened his mouth and blew out a black poisonous mist. The poisonous mist quickly spread out, like a huge net, sweeping towards Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er hurriedly retreated, their heartbeats quickened rapidly and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads again.

Xiao Muchen's heart trembled. If he got in touch with the poisonous fog, the consequences would be disastrous. He quickly mobilized the fighting spirit in his body to form a protective barrier in front of him.

However, the poisonous fog easily penetrated the Dou Qi barrier and continued to approach them.

At this critical moment, the Netherworld Poison Fire in Xiao Muchen's body suddenly became agitated. Xiao Muchen's mind moved, and he immediately mobilized the power of the Netherworld Poison Fire.

The Netherworld Poison Fire surged out from his palm, instantly burning up the surrounding poisonous fog. Under the high temperature of the Netherworld Poison Fire, the poisonous fog made a "sizzling" sound and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated in the air.

Seeing this, the Nightmare Python's face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Xiao Muchen to be able to control his poisonous fog.

"Boy, you have some skills, but you will still die today!" The Nightmare Python roared, and in a flash, it appeared in front of Xiao Muchen in an instant. He stretched out his claws and grabbed Xiao Muchen's chest.

Xiao Muchen was not afraid at all, and rushed forward with the Star Sword in hand. The sword body collided with the claws, making a harsh metal friction sound and sparks flying.

The Nightmare Python was extremely powerful, and Xiao Muchen was knocked back a few steps. But he quickly stabilized his body and rushed forward again.

The two of them immediately started a fierce battle. The Nightmare Python's attacks were fierce and fierce, and every time it swung its claws, it brought great power and brought gusts of wind. Xiao Muchen relied on his flexible body movements and superb swordsmanship to deal with it. His figure was like a ghost, dodging left and right under the Nightmare Python's attacks, while looking for the opponent's flaws.

Lin Wan'er was not idle at the side either, she continued to perform various auxiliary fighting skills. Some could enhance Xiao Muchen's speed and strength, and some could interfere with the attack rhythm of the Nightmare Python.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Xiao Muchen gradually found that it was difficult to cause fatal damage to the Nightmare Python with simple attacks. The Nightmare Python had extremely strong defense, and the scales on its body seemed indestructible.

"Wan'er, I'm going to use the Nether Wind, Thunder and Flame Art!" Xiao Muchen shouted.

Lin Wan'er understood what he meant and quickly retreated to a distance while strengthening her own defense.

Xiao Muchen formed seals with his hands, and the two kinds of fire in his body, the Netherworld Poison Fire and the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, instantly merged. The two kinds of fire intertwined with each other, forming a powerful force.

A huge fire dragon roared out, rushing towards the Nightmare Python with a destructive momentum. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the air was burned and distorted.

The Nightmare Python felt this powerful force and showed fear in his eyes. He tried to dodge, but the fire dragon was too fast and he had nowhere to escape.

"what!"

The Nightmare Python screamed, and under the powerful force of the Dark Wind, Thunder and Flame Art, his body was gradually engulfed by flames. His scales melted, his muscles burned, and he struggled in pain, but he could not escape this fatal attack.

Finally, the Nightmare Python's body gradually turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er were breathing heavily, as this battle had consumed their energy. Their clothes were tattered, and their bodies were covered in sweat and dust.

"Finally solved." Xiao Muchen wiped the sweat from his forehead, his body shaking slightly.

Lin Wan'er quickly ran over and supported Xiao Muchen: "Brother Muchen, are you okay?"

Xiao Muchen shook his head: "I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

They came to the jade box again and carefully put away the precious Shengyuan Pill.

"With this pill, there is hope of breaking through to become a Douluo Saint." Xiao Muchen's eyes were full of anticipation.

Afterwards, the two of them supported each other and left the cave. The sunlight outside the cave shone on them, warm and comfortable. They looked into the distance and continued on their journey full of unknowns.
