Ouyang Jian's roar made the eight team members who crossed the river behind him frightened, and the frenzied operation of Zhenyuan like a conditioned reflex, tapped the driftwood under his feet with his toes, and jumped into the air with his strength.

Their reaction was not unpleasant, but the black shadow that came out of the bottom of the river was much faster than them.

There was a loud "boom", and the calm river surface was broken by a strong impact force from the bottom up.

A giant python with a thick waist covered in black scales rushed out of the water, bringing up waves several feet high.

The giant python only poked out of the river with the upper half of its body, and it was already more than ten meters long, and the scales the size of the bowl reflected a faint black glow in the sunlight, like a miniature solid shield.

This is a black-scaled python that has reached the age of four hundred years, which is a few points more powerful than the black-scaled python that devoured Yu Zhong just now.

Not only does the black scale python have a powerful attack power comparable to that of a mid-level spirit beast, but the layer of black scales covered by it is also extremely strong, giving it a strong defensive ability.

In this Styx River, the Black Scale Python can be regarded as one of the most powerful overlords, but in the previous training of the disciples of the Bitao Martial Academy, they rarely appeared, and they did not expect to be met by Ouyang Jian and others this time, which can be regarded as their bad luck.

After the upper half of the black scale python rushed out of the river, the triangular head the size of a dustpan shook for a moment, and a pair of dark red eyes stared at Ouyang Jian, whose figure rose in the air.

Ouyang Jian suddenly had a feeling of being locked by a strong killing machine, his scalp was numb, his beard exploded, and when he looked down, he was meeting a pair of black scale python eyes that shone with a terrifying light.

"This damn beast is actually eyeing me!"

Ouyang Jian secretly complained in his heart, knowing that once he was targeted by a powerful spirit beast like the Black Scale Python, it would be difficult to get rid of its attack, and if he was not careful, he was more likely to die in the mouth of the python like Yu Zhong just now.

Although the black scale python had a huge body, its movements were extremely sensitive, and after it saw Ouyang Jian, its fist-sized eyes showed a greedy light, as if it had seen a delicious prey.

Human warriors like to hunt spirit animals and barbecue their meat to eat to enhance their physique and improve their strength.

Similarly, spirit animals also like to feed on human warriors, and the more powerful the warriors, the greater the benefit to them.

Therefore, every year when the disciples of the Bitao Martial Academy enter the mountain to practice, the spirit beasts living in this dark river will become much more active than before, they usually lurk quietly at the bottom of the river, once a disciple of the Bitao Martial Academy crosses the river, they will suddenly burst out from the bottom of the water and attack those disciples of the Bitao Martial Academy who are crossing the river.

Some disciples of the Bitao Martial Academy, when caught off guard, either because of poor strength or bad luck, would often be buried under the sudden attack of the spirit beast.

Take this black-scaled python as an example, under the nourishment of hundreds of years of heaven and earth vitality, it already has a bit of spirituality, whenever a trained disciple of the Bitao Martial Academy crosses the river, it lurks at the bottom of the river and silently observes the movement of the river.

If the strength of the experienced disciple who crossed the river is weak, it will disdain it and ignore it, and only when it finds a stronger experienced disciple, it will burst into a surprise attack.

Although there are many spirit beasts in this area, most of the spirit beasts are afraid of the strength of the black-scaled python, so they stay away and dare not come over to compete with it.

Therefore, this section of the river has become the territory of the black scale python.

The black-scaled python that devoured Yu Zhong, a disciple of the inner courtyard just now, belonged to the inadvertent inadvertent, and after it devoured Yu Zhong and sank to the bottom of the lake, it was expelled by the black-scaled python.

The induction of spirit beasts is very sensitive, when Ouyang Jian crossed the river with eight team members, the black scale python immediately sensed that Ouyang Jian's martial arts aura was the strongest, so the target of the attack was immediately locked on Ouyang Jian's body.

For spirit beasts, the stronger the strength of the human warrior, the more delicious the taste of flesh and blood.

After the black-scaled python came out of the water, the bright red three-pronged tongue letter swallowed for a moment, and then the triangular head approached Ouyang Jian like lightning.

When it was still two or three zhang away from Ouyang Jian, the black-scaled python opened its mouth widely, revealing a pair of sharp fangs glowing with a faint blue light, and devoured Ouyang Jian.

The pair of sharp fangs of the black scale python are highly poisonous, even if Ouyang Jian is strong and physically strong, if he is bitten by that pair of fangs, he is afraid that there will be no way out.

The black-scaled python opened its mouth, and immediately a fishy and poisonous aura enveloped Ouyang Jian, and even the air seemed to be corroded, making a "squeaking" sound, and wisps of white smoke came out.

Before the python's mouth arrived, the poisonous fog came first.

Ouyang Jian, who was in the air, was shrouded in the poisonous mist, and felt dizzy in his head, he immediately held his breath, and the true yuan flowed, and his body moved out two feet away, getting out of the enveloping range of the poisonous mist, and at the same time avoiding the mouth of the python that swallowed it.

"Zheng!"

With a crisp sound of metal rubbing, Ouyang Jian pulled out the long sword in the scabbard, and slashed obliquely with a loud roar, and the sharp long sword was wrapped in the indestructible metallic true element, and slashed down on the triangular head of the black scale python.

Ouyang Jian is good at using swords, and is known for his swordsmanship, and the long sword in his hand is also an extraordinary treasure.

He slashed at the top of the black scale python's head with a sword, and his heart was happy, thinking that he could hit the black scale python hard, and no matter how bad it was, the black scale python would be frightened and retreat into the river, and then his team could cross the Netherworld River safe and sound.

But what Ouyang Jian didn't expect was that his long sword slashed on the top of the black scale python's head, but he didn't have the expected scene of slashing through the black phosphorus and the python's blood splashing.

The sharp and matchless blade landed on the scales covered by the black scale python, making a deafening sound of metal clashing, bursting out a few sparks, and Ouyang Jian's entire arm was numb, and he almost couldn't hold the long sword.

Looking at the scales of the black scale python that had been cut by the long sword, there was only a shallow sword mark left on it.

"The scales on this evil animal are so strong and strong!"

Ouyang Jian was taken aback, stared at the long sword in his hand, and found that there were several gaps in the blade, and he couldn't help but be surprised, angry, and afraid.

What surprised me was that this black scale python's defense ability was too strong, and it was too difficult to hurt it by myself.

The angry thing is that his beloved long sword was exchanged for it after spending a lot of cultivation resources, and now that it is damaged like this, it is almost equivalent to being abolished.

Afraid that this black scale python was slashed by his own sword, provoked, he will definitely launch a crazy attack, he is now in the air, there is no place to focus, I am afraid it is difficult to defend, and if I don't make it, I will follow in the footsteps of Zhong.

Sure enough, although the black-scaled python was not injured under Ouyang Jian's long sword slash, it was aroused to be ferocious, and the huge python's body swayed, and the tail in the potential river suddenly rolled upward, with a splash in the sky, like a thick steel whip, and slashed towards Ouyang Jian.

Ouyang Jian only felt that it was dark in front of him, and at the same time, a terrifying force surged like the collapse of a mountain, and in shock, he didn't have time to think about it, gathered all his strength in his palms, and shot forward.
