Zhang Xiaofan held the torch and walked into the cave. The cave was really deep. He had been walking for an hour, but he felt that it was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't see the end.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the cave's passage began to split into two, then two into four, then four into eight. In the end, it became wider and wider, and the passages crisscrossed in all directions.
Green moss grew on the stone walls of the cave, and from time to time, a few small insects crawled over their heads.
The more Zhang Xiaofan walked, the more mysterious the cave became. He wondered where all these tunnels led to.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the dozen or so passages in front of him and felt a little awkward. It was obvious that these passages would lead to different places. If he chose them well, there might be a treasure trove at the end of the passage. If he chose them badly, it might lead to hell.
"People die and birds rise to the sky. They don't live or die for ten thousand years! Whether I live or die depends on my luck!”Zhang Xiaofan wasn't an indecisive person. He counted to the seventh passage from left to right and then walked inside without hesitation.
He did not choose the seventh passage blindly. In Taoism, seven was a special number, an extreme number.
Zhang Xiaofan took a few steps into the tunnel. Suddenly, he had an idea. He formed a seal with his right hand and created a sand clone. He then had the clone walk in front of him while he followed closely behind.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. However, the tunnel was unimaginably deep. Zhang Xiaofan had been walking for almost two hours, but he still hadn't reached the end. However, unlike the previous tunnel, the tunnel was getting wider and wider. The distance between the ground and the top of the cave was more than seven or eight meters. He even guessed that this place should have already left the boundary of Longshou Peak!
With his walking speed, he had walked about fifty to sixty miles in two hours. The winding path led to a secluded place, and it felt like a tunnel. However, he did not know where the exit at the end of the cave led to.
Zhang Xiaofan was a little tired after walking for a long time, so he found a corner and sat down to rest against the cave wall.
Suddenly, he heard a slight rustling sound in his ears.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't pay much attention to it at first. He thought it was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. However, he suddenly realized that he was in a cave and had already drilled so deep into the cave. Where did the trees come from?
Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat. He quietly stood up and turned around the corner to see that the tunnel had split into two. At the right fork, there was a snake-shaped monster crawling there. Its body was tightly wrapped around an adult bison, and it was swallowing it with its mouth wide open.
Why was it a snake-shaped monster?
The monster had the body of a snake. It was about 40 to 50 meters long and about one meter thick. It looked like a giant python, but the strange thing was that it had two horns on its head.
The horns looked like they had just grown out. They were like two fingers, and their eyes were as big as copper bells, emitting a faint green light.
Zhang Xiaofan had never seen or heard of such a huge python before.
His scalp went numb, and the hair on his back stood on end. This python was too big. Although he knew some weak sand control ninjutsu, it was extremely difficult to deal with this python. If he was not careful, he might even lose his life. It was better to escape.
Just as Zhang Xiaofan was about to turn around and sneak away, he was so nervous that he used too much force to grab the broken rocks from the cave. They fell to the ground with a series of cracking sounds.
Zhang Xiaofan was worried that the noise must have alerted the python. When he looked up, he saw that the python had spat out the buffalo that it had swallowed halfway. It was now looking up at him with its cold green eyes.
Zhang Xiaofan felt as if he could see death through the python's eyes. Its eyes were like two gates leading to hell.
"Roar!" The giant python hissed at Zhang Xiaofan, revealing its fist-sized teeth. This snake-like thing was actually roaring like a beast.
The voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the cave and making Zhang Xiaofan's ears buzz.
Zhang Xiaofan could feel the guardian crane in his body becoming restless. He didn't have time to think about it as he used his legs to escape through the left tunnel in the cave.
The giant python left the dead buffalo behind and straightened its body as fast as lightning to chase after Zhang Xiaofan.
The cave was full of twists and turns, making it difficult for Zhang Xiaofan to escape. Fortunately, the twists and turns in the cave slowed down the python's crawling speed. If the cave was straight, Zhang Xiaofan would have been swallowed by the python.
However, the python knew the terrain of the cave better. It was smart enough to choose to take a shortcut from the fork and block Ai Chen's path.
Zhang Xiaofan looked behind him as he ran. He was relieved that the python was gone, but he almost ran into the python's gaping mouth when he turned around.
When he stopped moving forward, he realized that he was less than a meter away from the python's head. The stench emitted from the python's mouth rushed straight at him, making him feel disgusted. He hurriedly used his movement technique and jumped back a few steps in the blink of an eye to avoid the python's head.
Zhang Xiaofan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was so close to being eaten by the giant python.
He tried to control the sand to attack the python, but the monster had thick skin and flesh. The sand shuriken formed by the sand was ineffective against it.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't have much hope for his ninjutsu anymore. He was only at the beginner stage of Sand Control Ninjutsu. At this stage, Sand Control Ninjutsu could kill a few people, but it would be impossible for him to use it to kill the giant python. He was really regretting it now. He had nothing better to do than to practice or take a nap. Why did he have to come inside?
It was all because of curiosity!
The python saw that the snack had escaped from its mouth, so it roared and pounced on Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. Just as he was about to be swallowed by the giant python, the sand clone suddenly jumped out from a corner and entered the giant python's mouth.
The python's eyes were a little puzzled. It had clearly swallowed this youth just now. Why was there another one in front of it now? Zhang Xiaofan leaned against the wall of the cave and dodged the attack.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly remembered that a part of his sand had been eaten by the python. He had an idea and tried to control that part of the sand. As expected, he felt something.
Zhang Xiaofan was secretly delighted. He silently controlled the sand to charge into the python's stomach.
The giant python suddenly felt a sharp pain in its stomach, and it started to wriggle and scream. It didn't care about Zhang Xiaofan anymore.
He only used his body to slam into the stone wall. Instantly, gravel flew everywhere, almost causing the cave to collapse.
"Hmph hmph, you dare to eat me! I'll make it so hard for you to digest! I'll give you a real-life version of Sun Wukong fighting the iron fan princess!”Zhang Xiaofan said proudly.
In Journey to the West, in order to borrow the banana fan, Sun Wukong transformed into a worm and mixed it with wine to enter Princess Iron Fan's stomach. He practiced boxing and kicking inside, torturing Princess Iron Fan.
The python was stabbed and bumped by the moving sand in its internal organs, and it was in excruciating pain.
"Roar!" The python suddenly let out a strange cry, like an angry beast. Then, it actually used its head to crash into the wall in front of it.
"Bang bang bang!" After a dozen hits, the huge force seemed to shake the entire cave.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. He felt like rocks were falling from the top of his head. He thought that if he continued to crash into the hole, it would probably collapse. It was better to leave.
Zhang Xiaofan kept running along the fork when a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him. He was extremely excited, thinking that he would be able to escape from the cave soon. However, when he reached the end of the tunnel, he was struck by a bolt of lightning, and a bucket of cold water poured down on him, extinguishing all his hopes.
At the end of the path was a cliff.
The enraged python behind him glared at Zhang Xiaofan with its big, fierce eyes, and rushed toward him, vowing to kill him to vent its hatred.
