C689 Smell

Zhang Jingxuan didn't use the candle because he believed in his own eyes. Secondly, he had entered such a dark place and lit the candle. There was a limit to where he could light the candle, but he had become a moving target. If the candle was suddenly extinguished, it would be difficult for the eyes to adapt for a while. It would be even more difficult.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Jingxuan was very careful, taking each step carefully. He had thought that there would be some defensive mechanisms, but in the end, he found that whether it was the ground or the walls, there were no such arrangements. And this cave was also larger than Zhang Jingxuan had imagined. The water in the cave was gurgling, and no one knew where it was flowing to. The darkness in the cave seemed to have infected the stream. Even the water in the stream seemed to be black.

Even with Zhang Jingxuan's super strong eyesight, he couldn't see clearly from a distance. He originally thought that he would enter a pill room to find medicine, but who would have thought that... Yet, he had come to such a place. Moreover, the air was filled with a strange smell. It was the feeling of many different flavors mixing together, making it hard to distinguish. However, Zhang Jingxuan knew that he shouldn't have come to the wrong place. There were at least one or two of those different flavors. It was the taste of a top grade spiritual herb, although he couldn't even name the spiritual herb. However, after smelling it, Zhang Jingxuan knew that the medicinal herb could be described as' life and death human flesh and bones'.

The small stream flowed forward, and the stream also slowly became wider. Zhang Jingxuan walked forward a dozen steps. The stream that could have been crossed with one step had become about five feet wide, almost like a small river. Zhang Jingxuan also called himself strange, but he became more vigilant. He kept a distance of a few steps from the stream.

As he moved forward, he searched his surroundings. It was difficult to see far. Because at least half of his power had to be continuously transferred to Tang Shaoshao, Zhang Jingxuan could not use his divine sense to investigate this cave. This also increased the difficulty.

The road ahead was a small bridge, crossing a small stream. Zhang Jingxuan did not rashly board the bridge. He slowly walked to the side of the bridge. Suddenly, Zhang Jingxuan felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. More importantly, before he felt alert, he could already smell a familiar scent from the tip of his nose. A strong force was attacking him from behind. It was so fast that it reached the limit. However, it came without a sound.

Everything happened so fast and so suddenly. He didn't even have time to do anything else. He could only lower his body and jump forward because he carried Tang Shaoshao on his back. He could not roll on the ground and could only twist his body in the air. He wanted to land smoothly.

He knew what was attacking him. It should be a gyrfalcon. It was the legendary 'Jade Claw' gyrfalcon. What Zhang Jingxuan felt most fortunate about was when Kuiguang healed him. It was a prank! Normally, he would add the excrement of the Jade Claw gyrfalcon into the medicine. After he had tasted it, he naturally became more sensitive to its taste. He would even have a certain level of sensitivity towards the Jade Claw gyrfalcon itself. If not for this, Zhang Jingxuan, who was carrying Tang Shaoshao in this dark and silent environment, would really be worried that he wouldn't be able to react in time. The gyrfalcon swooped down from the sky. Even a well-built goat would be grabbed by it. Then, it would fall down from the sky, and after it killed its prey, it would slowly enjoy its delicious meal.

Zhang Jingxuan jumped down and the gyrfalcon flashed past. He thought that he had already dodged the gyrfalcon's attack. What he did not expect was that a gust of wind sounded in the air. It sounded like the gyrfalcon's wings were violently flapping, but it suddenly turned back. The sharp beak and sharp claws attacked Tang Shaoshao who was in the air. It seemed like it was very clear about the opponent's weak points and did not attack Zhang Jingxuan at all. Instead, it aimed at Tang Shaoshao's back. As a result, not only was Zhang Jingxuan tired of dealing with it, but he also made use of Tang Shaoshao's body as a shield. He was prepared to defend against Zhang Jingxuan's counterattack. Not only was this bird much stronger than an ordinary expert, its speed in the air was also astonishing. Even its intelligence was not to be underestimated.

Zhang Jingxuan felt bitter in his heart. He really missed the rainy night. He did not expect that in this cave, it would be inconvenient to carry Tang Shaoshao on his back, and he would actually be bullied by this bird.

However, the situation was stronger than a person's. His body was in the air, and it seemed like there was no way out. However, Zhang Jingxuan was not an outsider. He stretched out his palm and slapped the ground. Instantly, the air currents surged. He borrowed the force of this palm. With a spin, he was sent four feet away from the side. Just as he was about to cross the stream and reach the other side of the shore. Zhang Jingxuan didn't want to leave that strange little bridge. He could use this opportunity to cross the river.

Above the stream, the black water beneath him also changed.

The calm flowing stream suddenly burst out a splash and shot into the sky, enveloping Zhang Jingxuan and Tang Shaoshao.

It was unknown whether those water droplets were poisonous or not. Even if Zhang Jingxuan was not afraid, he did not want Tang Shaoshao, who was seriously injured, to be touched. After such a bumpy ride, Tang Shaoshao's soft and weak arms could no longer be placed on his shoulders. He turned his left hand to support Tang Shaoshao and waved it with his right hand. He brushed away the mist. At this time, his attention had already shifted from the sky to the ground, because a turn of the gyrfalcon was already rare and valuable. Even if he wanted to circle back again, it wouldn't be so fast. And the mist beneath his feet was definitely not that simple.

Sure enough, a huge black shadow silently rose from the water. Looking at the head, it was the size of a wheat straw. It opened its big mouth and bit towards Zhang Jingxuan's leg. Zhang Jingxuan saw it and knew that it was a giant python in the water. In the tropical forest, they would also be called Forest Boa or Water Boa. It wasn't strange for a large python to grow up to forty to fifty meters long. And the one in front of him was probably stimulated by Kuiguang's secret medicine. The black paint on its head was emitting a cold light. Looking at the size of its head, it was probably seventy to eighty feet long. Now, just by raising its head in the water, it was already as tall as a person. Looking at the size of its open mouth, it could even swallow Zhang Jingxuan and Tang Shaoshao together. It was not strange.

Zhang Jingxuan was not very afraid of the frontal attack of such a huge monster. However, he was also curious in his heart. Such a huge python... Hiding in this small stream, he actually didn't notice it in advance. From this, it could be seen that snakes, this cold-blooded animal, hid its ability. They were truly much more brilliant than humans.

Zhang Jingxuan did not take out his sword. Instead, he struck out with his Frost Palm. It was aimed at the huge snake's open mouth. Even if the snake was an innate variant, with the addition of Kuiguang's secret medicine, with a "Si!" sound, it closed its mouth and flashed past. Looking at its agility, it was only a little slower than the gyrfalcon.
