In the dense jungle, a group of people were walking carefully, leading them was a young man in a black robe carrying a huge ruler, and a little girl in green clothes.
"Qing Lin, are you sure you're not feeling it wrong?" Looking at the increasingly narrow mountain road, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
"Master Xiao Yan, there is no mistake. The feeling this time is the same as the feeling in the desert, and this time the feeling is more obvious. Qing Lin feels that there must be a Heavenly Flame nearby." Qing Lin said with certainty.
Last time, she helped Master Xiao Yan search for Heavenly Flame in the desert, and although she did find clues to the Heavenly Flame in the end, she didn't get it in the end.
Because of this, Xiao Yan was depressed for a long time.
Now she finally has clues about a Heavenly Flame, so of course she can't give up.
"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are the best pupils in the world. They have sensing abilities that ordinary people don't have. So, it should be correct." Yao Lao also said.
"Teacher, what is the possibility of it being a Heavenly Flame?"
"Although the possibility of two Heavenly Flames appearing in a short period of time is very low, if this little girl's perception is correct, there is a 70% chance of it happening." Yao Lao said.
After receiving the comfort from Yao Lao, Xiao Yan regained his faith and quickened his pace.
Behind them are the elites members of the Mo Clan. So, they must not miss it this time!
...
"Is this the ruin that the teacher was talking about?"
Following the instructions given by Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran and Jiang Ping came to a valley. There were towering peaks on both sides, and at the mouth of the valley in front of them, there was a huge stone gate blocking the entrance, which looked particularly abrupt.
"Is this the place? But it seems like this door hasn't been opened yet." Jiang Ping walked closer and took a look, only to find that the door was closed.
"Why don't you try to step back for a while?" Nalan Yanran suggested.
"How can we push such a big door? Tell me how to... push it?" Jiang Ping had just put his hand on the stone door, and before he started to apply force, dense cracks suddenly appeared on the entire stone door.
Boom!
The entire stone gate shattered and turned into a pile of rubble.
"f**k, what kind of shoddy construction is this?"
Jiang Ping complained silently.
Just then, a gust of wind blew out from the valley, bringing with it an extremely fishy smell, which made Jiang Ping quickly cover his mouth and nose and squint his eyes to look inside.
He then saw that the valley was dark. The tall mountains blocked the sunlight. There was not a single ray of light. Only a huge shadow could be vaguely seen inside.
"Wooo! Woo!"
The miserable sobbing sounds blown out by the wind made people's scalp tingle.
"Is this really a ruin? I don't think it's reliable." Jiang Ping was skeptical.
However, Nalan Yanran had already taken out a long sword from her Storage Ring and walked into the valley vigilantly.
This was the trial mission assigned to them by Yun Yun, and of course they couldn't give up halfway.
"Senior Sister, be careful."
Jiang Ping hurriedly followed.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Ping understood where the foul smell came from - the valley was littered with the corpses of various magic beasts and rotten bones. Some had rotted away to a pitch-black color, but some had not even their flesh and blood completely corroded.
The stench came from these corpses.
The valley is very big, winding, and interconnected, which is very strange.
There were corpses everywhere, which was very horrifying.
Nalan Yanran also frowned, but did not retreat, but continued to move forward.
Finally, after going around in circles, the two people finally came to a place where there were no skeletons or corpses.
This is the innermost part of the valley. There is not a single rotten corpse around. The environment is completely different from the outside.
There was a huge stone platform in the middle, and on the platform lay a huge creature.
It was a giant python with a dark red body, and its scales were like pieces of gems, extremely exquisite.
The moment they saw the giant python, their breathing almost stopped immediately.
The giant python is huge, with a body diameter of more than three meters, and its length, curled up in coils, is probably no less than a hundred meters!
Such a giant python is probably an absolute king among Magic Beasts!
Just lying there, it was full of oppression, emanating the aura of an absolutely strong creature.
Jiang Ping and Nalan Yanran could feel the oppression from dozens of meters away.
"What is this... a magic beast?"
Nalan Yanran finally panicked.
The pressure from this magic beast is even stronger than that of Dou Ancestor!
"This is... Don't panic, this magic beast should be already dead."
Jiang Ping was also shocked at first, but when he used his heaven's eye to take a look, he found that the vitality in the giant python's body had already been lost.
But even so, it still possesses such astonishing pressure, which is enough to show how terrifying the power of this giant python was when it was alive.
"Dead?"
Nalan Yanran couldn't believe it.
Can a dead magic beast still have such a powerful pressure?
How terrifying was it when it was alive?!
Jiang Ping was not afraid.
Can a dead magic beast still cause a rebellion?
He walked up to the giant python and looked at the huge magic beast carefully.
Suddenly, a system prompt popped up:
[Level 8 Ancient Heavenly Snake, deceased]
"It's the Ancient Heavenly Snake?!"
Jiang Ping was shocked when he saw the system prompt.
Ancient Heavenly Snake is a very ancient and powerful king of magic beast. It is one of the ancestors of ancient snake-like magic beasts and is of the same level as the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
Among snakes, the only one that can rival the Ancient Heavenly Snake is the Sky-Swallowing Python.
But this is Jia Ma Empire!
How could a small Jia Ma Empire afford to raise an eighth-level Ancient Heavenly Snake?
It is indeed very strange!
However, since this Ancient Heavenly Snake is dead, Jiang Ping no longer pursues how it appeared in the Jia Ma Empire.
The corpse of an eighth-level magical beast is priceless.
"Jiang Ping, there seems to be something in its mouth!"
Nalan Yanran suddenly reminded.
Hearing this, Jiang Ping looked towards the head of the Ancient Heavenly Snake.
In that tightly closed mouth, one could faintly see a swaying light and shadow moving inside.
Are there other living creatures?
Jiang Ping was about to pry open the Ancient Heavenly Snake's mouth to find out what was inside.
Just then, a group of figures swarmed in and blocked all the entrances and exits.
The sudden situation startled Jiang Ping and his partner.
After taking a closer look, I found that it was actually the Mo Clan led by Mo Li and Mo Cheng?!
"Elder Mo Cheng? How come you are here?" Nalan Yanran was startled when she saw the people from the Mo Clan, but then she quickly understood and her face darkened.
"You were following us?!"
"Young Sect Master, don't say that."
"We are just worried about your safety, so we are escorting you secretly."
"There are many man-eating tigers around here, and it is our duty as the Mo Clan to protect the safety of Young Sect Master." (Talking about himself?)
Mo Cheng said with a smile, but his eyes could not help but look at the body of Ancient Heavenly Snake, with an irrepressible fanaticism in his eyes.
"I didn't expect to find the body of the legendary Ancient Heavenly Snake here... It seems that heaven really blesses my Mo Clan, hahaha!"
