C698 Love
It's like a sheep in the tiger's mouth!
Zhang Jingxuan didn't want to return to Tang Yueye's side no matter what. He hung by the mouth of the black python. Next to his hand was the sharp teeth of the black python. Zhang Jingxuan simply reached out his hand and grabbed two teeth. He pulled them backwards with all his might. The black python was in pain, or perhaps it understood Zhang Jingxuan's order. It twisted its body and changed its direction. It followed the flow of the water and quickly swam downwards.
The black python and Zhang Jingxuan were like grasshoppers on the same boat. Zhang Jingxuan threw up all the air in his body to Tang Shaoshao. At this moment, he only felt a wave of dizziness in his head and the throbbing pain in his temples. The golden stars in front of him were like fireflies flying around at night, and he felt a little nauseous in his abdomen. The giant black python, on the other hand, was suppressed by the huge ball in the trachea, and was similarly unable to breathe. Fortunately, its body was huge, and the amount of oxygen stored in its body was enough to support it for a while. However, it still had to use all its strength to swim, which was quite difficult for it.
When a strange beast like the black python used all its strength, it was no small matter. Zhang Jingxuan could only feel the water in front of him pressing down on him, making him unable to open his eyes. And he clearly knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Perhaps he would lose consciousness and faint. If that was the case, he and Tang Shaoshao would both be unconscious. If the black python was stuffed in its throat, it might also pass out. Then the two of them and the beast would be trapped in the water.
How could Zhang Jingxuan allow such a thing to happen? At this moment, he took out three silver needles. He raised his hand and inserted the needle into the center of his forehead in a triangular shape. Instantly, his vision became less lost. But his face and even his eyes became close to red.
A man and a python were both close to their limits. In front of Zhang Jingxuan, a faint white dot of light had already appeared. Obviously, that was the end of this trip. The only problem now was... Could everyone persist until the end? Because he could already feel that the black python's speed had also slowed down. It began to feel powerless. Zhang Jingxuan also knew that this feeling was not pleasant. He opened the knot in his hand. He put his mouth close to it and sucked some of the gas out.
There was a strange fragrance in the gas, but there was not much oxygen in it. He knew that Tang Shaoshao would not be able to hold on for long inside.
The black python understood Zhang Jingxuan's good intentions. It took a breath of air and twisted its body with all its strength to swim forward. It really looked like a flood dragon swimming in the water.
Soon, they arrived near the bright light. Zhang Jingxuan found that the water could flow out from the light. Not far away, above the water surface, there was a ray of light, but it was right in front of them. It was an iron fence as thick as a child's arm. It was precisely because of the existence of these iron bars that the black python was unable to pass through this hole to another space.
If it was on land, or if Zhang Jingxuan was still in his normal state, these iron fences would not cause him any obstacles. But now, it was already rare for him to be able to persist until here. He took out his Heaven Conniving Sword and slashed twice before cutting off one of the bars. But to bend the fence that was like a child's arm, it still required a lot of effort.
Even the Black Python could no longer look at it. It stretched its huge head over. It used its teeth to block the fence and exerted its strength. It opened a gap in the fence. Look at the gap. At least it would not be a problem for him to go through it alone. However, the black python's teeth were not very solid. A trace of blood scattered in the water. The black python now showed a different kind of gentleness. It gently pushed against Zhang Jingxuan. It motioned for him to crawl over and bring Tang Shaoshao along. Anyway, the sky was already close.
Zhang Jingxuan looked at the giant black python, which suddenly became gentle, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Birds and beasts all had feelings. This giant black python had just been injured by him. But now, it was willing to help him. Could it be that at this critical moment... Was he going to abandon it? With this thought in mind, Zhang Jingxuan didn't know where he had gotten his strength from. The Heaven Conniving Sword drew a strange angle and was still able to move freely in the water. In an instant, he slashed several times on the two fences, instantly creating a big hole in the fence. He patted the black python's head and it passed through the fence. It came to the other side. It twisted its body and swam upwards, faster and faster. Finally, he rushed out of the water and landed on the ground.
When the first wisp of fresh air flowed into Zhang Jingxuan's lungs, he could clearly feel it. It turned out that the breathing that he usually did was such a blissful thing. Such a precious thing. Many such things were unconsciously ignored by people. It was only when they lost it that they regretted it beyond their reach.
However, he did not dare to breathe loudly, in case the sudden change made his body unable to bear it. Moreover, he still had a very important thing to do, and that was to hurriedly release the gas from the large ball from the black python's mouth. After that, he dragged Tang Shaoshao out from within. At the same time, it was equivalent to giving the black python, who had escaped death with him, a chance to catch its breath. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the huge head of the black python. He sighed with emotion at the enemy who had wanted to kill each other just now. But now, they had become companions. It was truly hard to predict what would happen in the world. However, if he knew what the black python was thinking at this moment, then he didn't know what he would think.
The Black Python was silently cursing this guy. He had clearly tried his best to open the fence, and this fellow could have taken the girl and escaped with him. As long as he let go of the big ball in his throat, he would be able to breathe in the water! Yet, he had to make an extra effort to break the fence. He had to drag her with him. What is this!? It didn't know that Zhang Jingxuan had just lost his mind due to lack of oxygen. He insisted on bringing the black python with him to escape with the principle of not abandoning and not giving up. He had treated it as a family member. Of course, the Black Python also understood his good intentions. It just felt that it was really unlucky. Two hours ago, it was still glorious and free. But now, it was covered in wounds, and now it didn't even have the strength to turn around.
And at this time, the commotion caused by them coming out of the water couldn't be said to be small. The surroundings were already brightly lit, and quite a number of people had gathered. Each of them was dressed in bright armor. Zhang Jingxuan's eyes swept across them, and he knew that there were many experts amongst them. And judging from their attire, they were all experts of the inner circle. After pondering for a moment, he immediately understood what was going on. They had just rushed out of a huge pond. It seemed that it was actually the imperial garden within the imperial palace.
At this time, Zhang Jingxuan had already hugged Tang Shaoshao in his arms again and instilled his true qi into her. He only felt that the meridians in Tang Shaoshao's body were glued together again, and his own strength was almost exhausted. He regretted that he did not bring the noodle snake back and feed Tang Shaoshao some more. But being able to escape was already very fortunate and there was nothing to complain about.
