Chapter 3: The Imp Princess
Looking at the imp's sweet smile, he felt his body shudder, he wanted to struggle but couldn't move, he wanted to cry out but couldn't make a sound, and in the blink of an eye, cold sweat soaked through his shirt.
"People are the chopping board, I am the fish meat. I just came out to travel, and I have to suffer this kind of misery, God, you're not joking with me, right?" Chen Nan's heart was really scared to the extreme, if he was tortured by the palace, his future life would be worse than death.
After giving the order, the Imp Princess turned around and walked to the side, those female guards blushed and followed.
One of the male guards drew out a long sword and deliberately waved it in front of Chen Nan, frightening him into closing his eyes. The cold blade of the sword stuck to his skin, and a layer of small bumps immediately rose on him. That guard smiled impishly at Chen Nan and moved the long sword a little bit towards his lower body, such 'waiting' made Chen Nan suffer immensely, in just a few moments of work, he was deflated and his body spasmed.
The Imp Princess waited for a long time but did not hear Chen Nan screaming miserably, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, she boldly turned around and saw that her men were mentally torturing Chen Nan, she felt amused beyond measure.
The little princess walked back quickly, nodded at the henchman in satisfaction, and snatched the longsword in the midst of the crowd's dumbfounded stares. She took the longsword and slapped it on Chen Nan's face, "Interesting, I never thought that you, a lecherous thief, would be so afraid of death."
Chen Nan's face turned green with fear when he saw that this imp had walked back again and was holding the longsword between his nose and eyes, if this was accidentally stabbed, it wouldn't be any worse than a palace punishment.
Seeing Chen Nan's face full of fear, the little princess was happy beyond measure, she took the blade of her sword and gently scratched beside Chen Nan's ear, chipping off a section of long hair, when the long hair fell on Chen Nan's neck, Chen Nan's face changed.
The guards looked at me and I looked at you, a hint of a smile appeared on their faces, they knew this little princess too well. Although the little princess was already sixteen, she was an incomparable headache, she was both intelligent and mischievous, sometimes she was like a naughty child, with a lot of tricks, which made her impossible to fight.
The Imp Princess seemed to be tired of playing, and took her long sword and chopped directly under Cinnan's body, the guards were shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, the Princess can't be allowed to do that."
This group of people can be frightened, its degree of shock is not second to Chen Nan, if let the emperor know that his little daughter once did something that insulted the royal prestige, but not angry, at that time they this group of guards can hardly escape death.
The little princess was full of unhappy color, said: "What are you doing, still want to control my business not".
A female guards out of the crowd, said: "Princess is the body of ten thousand gold, can not not make"!
"Hmph" the little princess threw her sword on the ground, her face returned to a cold look, turned her body and said: "Bring him on, I'm going to clean him up slowly."
Chen Nan was like hearing the immortal voice in hell, seeing a ray of light in the despair and fear, he let out a long breath and sighed that this was really a little devil ah
There were a total of twelve guards and three magicians beside the little princess, six men and six women out of the twelve guards, while the three magicians were all men.
These people were all very young, but their skills were not weak, the magicians easily forced Chen Nan up from the water, and the female martial artists knocked Chen Nan to the ground in three dozen moves, from which one could see one or two of these people's strength.
Cinnan's body regained its freedom, but the mute point was not unlocked by the Imp Princess, it was really "preventing the people's mouth is even better than preventing the river" ah!
He secretly muttered in his heart: these people are all black hair and black eyes, it seems that they are all oriental people, but some of them actually know magic, I think that after the merger of the two continents into the Tianyuan Continent, all kinds of cultivation methods began to circulate in the continent, resulting in the Oriental people grasping some of the magic of the West, and I think that the Westerners have also grasped some of the martial arts skills of the Orient.
Chen Nan watched the Imp jumping and jumping among the mountains and forests, and secretly cursed in his heart: twisting his back, breaking his ankle, falling down
But he was disappointed time and time again, the Imp Princess was as joyful as a bird that had just come out of its cage, occasionally running up to him and knocking him hard on the head, or pulling his ears hard.
Chen Nan really had a hard time saying anything, although he had long ago used his family's Xuan Gong to secretly unlock the unique pointing technique that the Imp had described, he had to be 'good' and keep his mouth shut.
When he was resting at night, Chen Nan had wanted to sneak away, but just as he moved a little, the guards on watch cast a cold glance towards him, causing him to give up his intention to escape.
"I never thought that I, Chen Nan, would be reduced to such a state, little devil, don't fall into my hands."
Their group had been traveling through the great mountains for three days, and had seen huge dragons flying through the air from the sky, as well as the immense footprints of ancient giants, all of which made the Imp Princess excited. Every time she did this, she would always look for Chen Nan to "express" her inner joy, which resulted in Chen Nan foaming at the mouth with "excitement" and collapsing to the ground.
For Chen Nan, this was really an incomparably painful journey, he hated and was angry with this little princess, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After two days had passed, Chen Nan finally understood the identity of this group of people and the purpose of their trip.
The Imp Princess was Chu Yu, the youngest daughter of the Chu Emperor, who had collected thousands of favors and was favored by the Chu Emperor and Empress. Those guards beside her are the dead soldiers that the emperor sent special people to train for him, and they are loyal to her, as for those three magicians, but they are not yet real quasi-magicians, and they are currently only trainee status.
In a few months, it will be the 60th birthday of the emperor of Chu, in order to express her filial piety, the little princess sneaked out from the palace, ready to pick the legendary Flaming Lotus in the western border of Chu as a birthday gift to the emperor, and this batch of her men were abducted out by her threat and intimidation.
"You guys say, when I present the Fiery Fairy Lotus to my father, what will his face be like? Well, I guess he'll be smiling from ear to ear, and allow me to come and go freely in and out of the imperial city from now on. Oh, it's really great, from now on, I can play wherever I want, no one will stop me anymore, hehe"
Chen Nan sighed in his heart: how cute she looks now, simply like an innocent little angel. The heart of a demon, the appearance of an angel ah
Each and every one of these guards had a bitter face, although they were coerced out by the little princess, the emperor definitely wouldn't care about this, and would definitely condemn them when the time came.
「Humph, you all eat bitter gourds how many times have I told you, when the time comes, I will definitely not let Father Emperor to punish you all」. The little princess was a little upset and looked at Chen Nan who was standing next to her and said, "Hmph, you scum dare to sneer, come over and practice with me."
Two days ago, the Little Princess had been calling Cinnan a lecherous thief, then a female guard whispered a few words to her, the Little Princess immediately realized what was going on, first she was ashamed and angrily beat Cinnan wildly k violently, and after that, she never called him a lecherous thief again, and called him a scum and a stinking thief instead.
Cinnan stiffly and reluctantly walked over. He prayed in his heart, O God, O Buddha, O Angelic Sister, although I know that you have all gone into the God and Demon Mausoleums to 'enjoy your blessings', you don't even have a single distant relative?Let them descend the demons to come. Devil ah, ghost ah, Lord of Hell ah, hurry up and pick up this close relative sister of yours.
In the past two days Chen Nan accompanied the little devil princess in his eyes had practiced martial arts n times, and the little princess' martial arts skills were surprisingly high, ravaging him in a miserable manner.
The little princess smiled wistfully at Chen Nan and said, "How do you also look sad ah, do you want you to accompany this princess to practice martial arts is that difficult hum"
"Oh, there is growth ah, not bad, try my move again. Oh, know the power of it, really funny, huh," the forest came from the little princess happy and complacent laughter, Chen Nan's n plus a nightmare began again.
The sixth day, the little princess and his entourage finally came to their destination, a volcano appeared in front of them, the crater is surrounded by layers of smoke clouds, the flames as if it will erupt at any time.
Chen Nan was secretly shocked: this horrible little devil was really crazy, actually going to the crater of a volcano to pick the Fiery Immortal Lotus.
The guards under the Little Princess were incredibly nervous, and one of the trainee magicians said, "Your Highness, is there really a Fiery Immortal Lotus in the crater?"
The little princess was a bit upset and hummed: "Of course there is, are you guys scared?"
The trainee magician hurriedly said: "No, of course not, we vowed to pick the Fiery Lotus for Your Highness."
The little princess said: "When master, his old man, accidentally discovered the immortal lotus, it hadn't matured yet, counting the date, these two days are the best time to pick it."
A female guard reminded: "Your Highness, I heard people say that all heavenly treasures are guarded by spirit beasts, I wonder if this Fiery Immortal Lotus"
"Oh, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, my master said there is a small snake there, well, you guys won't even be able to deal with a small snake, you just need to pay attention to it a little bit." The little princess said, not caring.
Chen Nan secretly muttered in his heart: a little attention to the spirit beasts guarding the heavenly treasures can be dispatched casually? This little devil's nerves are really not ordinary. No, I can't go in the front, it's better to hide far behind.
A group of people headed towards the mountain, Chen Nan slowly moved his feet and finally landed at the back.
"Scum you go to the front." The little princess's crisp voice caused Chen Nan's plan to fall through.
He cursed in his heart, "Imp," He walked to the forefront of the group with great reluctance.
"Hehe, scum what's that look in your eyes, are you very unconvinced, do you want to learn from those masters and duel with me at the top of blah blah blah wow, that's great, or else let's have a duel at the top of the volcano as well." The little princess shouted excitedly.
Chen Nan sighed in his heart: Devil Princess
The closer they got to the crater, the higher the air temperature became, making people feel a gust of stifling heat, and the rocks under their feet were getting hotter and hotter. Chen Nan was a little nervous in his heart, always on guard against the small snake hiding in the shadows.
The crowd finally arrived at the crater, gusts of smoke drifted out from the crater, the air was incomparably hot, the crater was like a furnace, the sweat dripped down on the dark brown volcanic rock and immediately vaporized and disappeared.
A rich and fragrant aroma drifted out from the smoke, making the tired and bored crowd feel refreshed.
On the inner cliff of the caldera, a reddish light reached everyone's eyes through the smoke, and it was from there that the aroma drifted.
The little princess laughed, ''There really is a Fiery Immortal Lotus, Master really didn't lie to me. Oh, it's really great."
The crowd took out the anti-poison gauze and covered their mouths and noses, the Little Princess looked at Chen Nan and threw him one as well, saying, "Hurry up and put it on, those fumes have a very strong toxicity."
A small amount of gratitude arose in Chen Nan's heart, but it immediately dissipated. He only heard the little princess continue, "Hurry up and put it on, hurry up and lure that that little snake out."
He secretly said, "A demon will always be a demon
The crater of the volcano was filled with smoke, visibility was very low, looking downward one could only see a faint light, no doubt that was the tumbling magma. Chen Nan trembled as he walked forward along the circular crater, secretly praying in his heart that the little snake was napping.
The fragrance of the Fiery Immortal Lotus was getting stronger and stronger, and the breeze gently brushed past, blowing away the smoke that surrounded the crater, and the scene in front of Chen Nan's eyes immediately became clearer.
Fiery Immortal Lotus rooted in the crater below three feet on the cliff, the whole plant is about half a meter high, the body of the fire red shiny, stems have nine pieces of crystal clear red leaves, the top of the flower like a lotus, but more than the lotus to be 100 times more bright and colorful, bright red petals, such as jade carvings of the general bright and colorful.
Smoke surged, the Fiery Immortal Lotus was gradually obscured, and only a fiery red light could be seen. Suddenly, a great sense of crisis surged in Chen Nan's heart as he felt that he was being targeted by 'people' like prey.
A pitch-black hole appeared on the cliff not far from the Fiery Immortal Lotus, and two points of blood red glowed in the hole. In the rumbling sound, countless huge stones fell into the depths of the volcano from the hole, and a huge object poked out from the hole.
Chen Nan was so shocked that his soul was about to be scattered. That huge thing was a huge snake head, the size of a house, and the glittering two points of blood-red light were actually a pair of red eyes of the huge snake, like the size of a basin.
"Rumble"
There were countless more debris falling down into the depths of the volcano, the giant snake slowly moved outwards from the hole, revealing a colorful snake body, the snake body was covered with scales the size of a bushel, glittering, demonic and terrifying.
"Damn it, this this is the little snake that little devil said this this is too much." Chen Nan cursed with a trembling voice.
The giant snake stopped moving, its blood red eyes stared at Chen Nan, at the same time it opened its huge mouth, revealing white poisonous fangs that were as sharp as swords, half a meter high, hideous and terrifying.
Chen Nan felt a cold current quickly spreading from his head to his heels, and a layer of small goosebumps rose on his body.
Suddenly a blood-red snake letter two feet long curled rapidly towards him from the giant snake's mouth, and the thick, fishy odor was vomit-inducing.
"Ah."
Chen Nan screamed and turned around to flee, his speed reaching the highest peak he had ever seen, as he ran, he shouted, "Demon stinky princess, I xxxxx, you want to get me killed ah"
The little princess had always thought that Cinnan's mute points had been sealed by her, at this time, when she heard him screaming and cursing loudly, she was first shocked, and then annoyed and furious. However, when she saw the colorful giant snake behind Chen Nan her face changed miserably, but she quickly calmed down again, and finally said something that almost made Chen Nan faint: "This snake is so beautiful"
Cinnan ran like the wind towards the volcano, as he passed by the Little Princess, he cursed: ''Pervert, madman, devil''
These guards brought by the Little Princess were worthy of being tried and tested dead soldiers, after these people were shocked, they quickly calmed down and tightly gripped their weapons and stood in wait, the three trainee magicians began to recite incantations, and bursts of fluctuations of magical elements came from the air. But surprisingly that giant snake did not move after revealing a large part of its body in the crater, it just stared coldly at the crowd.
The little princess was unusually calm and collected, "Don't be afraid, everyone, the Fiery Immortal Lotus is about to mature, that stinking snake has been guarding this place for thousands of years, it will never leave the Immortal Lotus by half a step at this critical moment, let's attack it from a distance."
Next she ordered, "Quickly sprinkle those Xiong Huang onto that stinky snake."
A dozen or so cloth bags were thrown at the snake, and at the same time, the trainee magician's incantation was already finished, and a large chilling blade of wind struck forward.
The wind blades cut through the cloth bags, and the staghorn yellow floated down from the air and landed on the giant snake, whose body trembled and retreated backward.
The spirit of the crowd was greatly invigorated, the cloth bag full of andrographis and a large area of the wind blade once again attacked forward, the giant snake's chilling colorful scales are covered with andrographis, pungent andrographis smell filled in the crater, and soon after the giant snake shriveled up on the ground and did not move at all.
The crowd immediately cheered.
Chen Nan ran halfway up the mountainside in one breath, and when he heard the cheers behind him he couldn't help but stop and twist his face to watch.
"I didn't expect this little devil to be really good, actually getting a behemoth like that down, truly worthy of being the devil's sister."
He still felt a bit scared when he remembered the giant snake's sharp fangs and hideous red letters, but at the same time, he also felt very stimulated.
Chen Nan looked towards the crater, he was tempted to get rid of that little devil and travel the world from now on, but he wanted to stay and watch that rare human-snake battle, he was hesitant in his mind. Finally, he could not resist the temptation, and quietly crawled toward the crater again, and when he was about ten feet away from the crater, he hid behind a huge rock.
After carefully surveying the huge snake shriveled up in the crater, the little princess laughed and said, "I never thought that this stinking snake is so cunning, deliberately showing weakness to lure us into the trap, everyone don't go over and attack it here."
Those guards took down strong bows and crossbows from their bodies and fired arrows at the giant snake, the three trainee magicians also began to recite incantations and prepare for magic attacks.
The rows of plume arrows shot towards the giant snake like locusts, but surprisingly, the arrows made of fine steel touched the scales of the giant snake and only made a string of sparks before sliding down to the ground.
The huge wind blades released by the trainee magician only caused the giant snake to tremble for a moment after they slashed at its body, leaving no trace behind.
The little princess decisively ordered, "Stop the attacks on other parts of the body and focus all the attacks on its eyes."
The arrows rained down on the snake's blood-red eyes, but the snake closed its eyes as if mocking the crowd, blocking the rain of arrows.
At this time, the three trainee magicians gathered a large amount of magic elements and condensed them into three ice lances with cold air, the three ice lances emitted brilliant light after being irradiated by the sunlight, and flew towards the giant snake's eyes like a rainbow in the sky.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The ice spears shattered into countless pieces in front of the giant snake's eyes, and their light faded. These three powerful magic attacks were not without effect, as the eyelids of the giant snake showed traces of blood. At the same time, the huge snake's head rose again, changing its original color, the snake's scary snake letters gulped and spat, its sharp fangs glowed with an intimidating cold light, and its pair of blood-red eyes stared at the crowd.
Chen Nan hid behind the rocks, ready to bolt at any time.
"Poof!"
The giant snake opened its huge mouth and spewed out a large swath of flames, the roaring flames swept towards the crowd. The three trainee magicians scrambled to recite a spell, and a light blue magic shield protected the crowd inside.
Cinnan looked dumbfounded and sighed, "No way, this super scary guy has already cultivated into a demon, my god, snake demon" Seeing this, he moved away from the battlefield for another dozen or so feet.
At this time, the three trainee magicians gathered enough magical elements again, they opened a corner of their magic shielding, and then sprinkled a large curtain of light towards the giant snake. The light blue light screen turned into layers of water waves, in the blink of an eye extinguished the flames beside the crowd, and at the same time doused the giant snake with water, the crater rose up with white mist, the crowd took this opportunity to retreat back seven or eight feet.
Giant snake seems to be enraged, in the rumbling sound, it from the cave and moved out four, five feet long snake body, countless pieces of broken stone fell into the depths of the volcano, now standing in the air snake body is seven or eight feet long, the huge snake head looks particularly hideous horror. The giant snake looked down at the crowd, the fierce light flashed in its eyes, seemingly wanting to swoop down, but in the end, it reluctantly retreated to the side of the Fiery Immortal Lotus, and the entire body of the snake was stuck on the volcanic rock.
The little princess and the others let out a long breath, at this time a female guard came forward and said: ''Your Highness, this demonic snake has already cultivated, it's not something we can deal with, we'd better retreat quickly.''
A trainee magician also said: "Yes, this is not a small snake, this is a snake spirit, we still".
The little princess glared at him, frightening this trainee magician to immediately shut his mouth.
Cinnan hid behind the volcanic rock and secretly said: the little princess is fiercer than a giant snake too!
The Little Princess said: "Didn't I give you thirty-six powerful magic arrows? If you don't use them now, when will you wait, shoot for me".
These servants took out the magic arrows from behind their backs and put them on the bowstring, aiming at the red eyes of the giant snake.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The magic arrows flew out like lightning, leaving a wave in the air, and the magic elements in the air oscillated irregularly. The giant snake seemed to smell the danger and flashed its hideous head to the side. The magic arrows rubbed out a trail of sparks on the snake's mouth, and then the arrowheads suddenly burst open, blowing away a large piece of scale armor on the left side of the snake's mouth, and the remaining several magic arrows hit this part of the snake's mouth, instantly blowing the snake's mouth into a bloody mess, revealing the white teeth of Mori Mori.
The giant snake was enraged, the huge snake body stood up at once, and the blood-red snake letter outside the white teeth gulped uncertainly. At the same time hidden in the cave of the snake body constantly moving outward, the crater as the ground shaking general shaking up.
Everyone was stunned, the little princess said in a deep voice, "It seems that we can only use the last move." She took out an ancient long box from the package behind her back, and after opening the box, she took out a long bow with a dark luster.
After Chen Nan saw the Little Princess's action, his pupils began to contract and his eyes stared at the longbow without blinking.
"Houyi Bow"
He didn't expect to see that divine bow from the Immortal Illusion Continent back then again after ten thousand years. The Houyi Bow had changed owners countless times, and its last owner ten thousand years ago was Chen Nan's father, Chen Zhan. Back then, Chen Zhan had relied on this bow to continuously kill three world-renowned powerhouses that had surrounded him in a single day, thus becoming famous in a single battle and shaking the entire Immortal Fantasy Continent.
Chen Nan's lips trembled as he softly said, "Houyi Bow, I never thought that I would be able to reunite with you after ten thousand years".
At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar, countless huge rocks rolled down from the crater, and the giant snake rose up into the sky, its 100 feet body all exposed in the air.
