In the back hall of the old shop, Huang Zhanggui, who had a good sleep, finished washing up under the service of the maid and asked casually: "When did Huang Li and Huang Jun come back last night? What was the outcome of the battle? Why haven't they reported to me yet?"
"Returning to the counter, the two Master Huangs didn't come back last night, so I didn't dare disturb you!"
"What? Didn't return all night?" The eyebrows of Huang Zhanggui, who was still stretching his waist, suddenly jumped up violently, and he had a bad premonition.
"Something's happened!"
To deal with a little guy who has just entered the fourth level of Cheng En, Huang Li and Huang Jun don't need to spend a night away. In a hurry, Huang Zhanggui immediately arranged for someone to go and find him.
After a long time, two gruesome corpses were placed in front of Huang Zhanggui. Especially the one with its head blown to pieces, only half remaining, made Huang Zhanggui vomit out all the breakfast he had just eaten.
"Fourfold gratitude? How is this possible? If there were accomplices, Huang Li and Huang Li would definitely not have made a move!" The pale-faced Huang Zhanggui's face was filled with shock, his mouth still stained with filth.
In a short while, Huang Zhuang's face was again filled with deep worry: "Two soulless ones have died, two in one go, how can I explain this to the authorities?"
"You little rabbit, you've made me suffer! Don't let me see you again!"
Huang Zhanggui clenched his teeth, making a cracking sound, causing the nearby maid with a worried expression to look on anxiously. If Zhanggui were to bite off that rotten tooth of his, how would she serve him in the future?
When Huang Zhanggui was biting his rotten tooth with a cracking sound, Jiang Cheng had just escaped from the pursuit of a Thunderbird, and didn't stop until he plunged into the dense forest, at which point the Thunderbird reluctantly flew away.
"This Beihun mountain range is really terrifying!" Jiang Cheng patted his chest and gasped for a while.
If another Leigong Eagle were to come, Jiang Cheng's life would be over today, especially the electric light blasted by Leigong Eagle made Jiang Cheng feel numb on his scalp.
The most direct manifestation is Jiang Cheng's black hair tied back to his brain, which is now curved and bright yellow at the roots. This was once a popular explosive head.
But now Jiang Cheng didn't like it at all, the smell of his hair being charred by lightning was unbearable.
After a rest, Jiang Cheng recalled again in his mind the map that his grandfather had told him to remember.
"I should now be sixty miles north of Giant Elephant Set, and the extremely dangerous Snake Valley marked on the map given to me by Grandpa should be eight hundred miles further north to the right, where there is a waterfall with a height of one thousand zhang."
In a battle with Huang Li and Huang Jun, Jiang Cheng realized that his martial soul technique was far from enough. The mid-grade silver wolf ghost killing technique he had learned was only useful against opponents of the same rank.
If he were to encounter a powerful being, his current abilities would be insufficient. The war soul technique of the Pig class, Jiang Cheng currently cannot learn, so the mid-grade upper-tier war soul technique Ling She Flash has become Jiang Cheng's most pressing choice.
If the Ling Snake Flash really had such great power, after getting close, Jiang Cheng would be able to defeat his opponent with just two punches for every one punch.
Jiang Cheng followed the map given by his grandfather and headed to the Beihun Mountain Range to hunt for venomous snakes.
In fact, that Snake Valley is not a proper name, but the people who discovered the place just gave it a memorable name.
However, the location of Snake Valley was already deep in the Beihun Mountains. Jiang Cheng had only been advancing for half a day when he encountered two life-threatening dangers.
"In two days, I should be able to get there!" As he spoke, Jiang Cheng's figure bent and leapt out like a nimble monkey, pulling on vines as he rapidly advanced through the mountain forest.
Two days later, Jiang Cheng, who was traveling through the heavy mountains with a disheveled appearance and a faint bloodstain on his right shoulder, suddenly stopped in his tracks as his ears perked up.
A faint rumbling sound suddenly entered Jiang Cheng's ears.
"Waterfall, Snake Valley?" Jiang Cheng's mouth slightly opened, and he followed the sound for several miles. When the rumbling water sound clearly entered his ears, Jiang Cheng looked down and suddenly saw a lush green mountain valley.
"Snake Valley!"
He smiled and strode towards the valley with big steps.
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow pierced through the air, and with a "thud", it nailed a dark green spirit wood snake to the ground.
Lingmu snake is also a kind of ferocious beast, belonging to the lower grade of Huang's ferocious beast.
Jiang Cheng was slowly advancing on foot through Snake Valley, and whenever he encountered snakes, he would generally shoot them from a distance.
With the red-stringed sword in hand, Jiang Cheng carefully walked up to the Spirit Wood Snake and struck out with one slash, chopping off the snake's head. However, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
No beast spirit pearl.
Jiang Cheng had already killed dozens of snakes in Snake Valley, but unfortunately, most of the snakes inside and outside the valley were low-grade yellow-tier snakes, so the probability of encountering a Beast Spirit Pearl was too low.
The higher the rank of a ferocious beast, the greater the possibility of condensing a beast spirit pearl. For example, for a ferocious beast that has reached the earth rank, ninety-nine percent of them possess a beast spirit pearl.
He threw away the snake head, Jiang Cheng pulled out the arrows on the ground and looked at the arrowheads that had already cracked, shaking his head involuntarily. Using the versatile bone arrows to kill the fierce beast was really too wasteful of arrows.
It takes only one or two uses for an arrow to become useless, and the two quivers of arrows he brought with him this time have already been reduced to just over a dozen.
Hmph!
Just as Jiang Cheng casually threw away the useless arrow in his hand, a green light suddenly shot out from beside him, and the sound of rapid movement burst forth right next to Jiang Cheng's ear.
He dodged the green venom by tilting his head, and with a flash of lightning, his left hand shot out to grab the spiritual wooden snake just as it was about to bite him, pinching its seven inches tightly.
In the mountains and forests, there is a saying that it's better to disturb ten tigers than one snake. This refers to the terror of snakes. If you're not careful, you might lose your life, especially with venomous snakes, which can be fatal if bitten.
"Huh, Snake Spirit Pearl?" Looking at the bean-sized Beast Spirit Pearl he had just dug up, Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched with a hint of bitter smile. It was too small, not nearly enough to use.
As he stepped forward, Jiang Cheng continued to venture deeper into Snake Valley. The deeper he went, the denser the vegetation became, with hardly any open spaces in sight. Everywhere was filled with waist-high vines and towering trees that grew as thick as an arm.
After walking for nearly half a day, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel puzzled.
As he ventured deeper into Snake Valley, aside from the initial batch of spirit wood snakes that were killed, he didn't encounter another snake. This situation made Jiang Cheng feel a sense of eeriness and become even more cautious.
Shhh!
Suddenly, the swift and rapid movement of snakes made Jiang Cheng's gaze suddenly become sharp.
But what left Jiang stunned was that the fiery red Blood Python that had slithered past him not far away, actually ignored it and sped off into the distance.
With a suspicious heart, Jiang Cheng carefully followed closely behind. Before long, in a small dense forest in Snake Valley, he saw an astonishing scene.
Dozens of crimson blood snakes were hissing and spitting out blood-colored snake cores, surrounding and attacking three soul warriors.
Three Soul Warriors, two men and one woman, were in a sorry state at this moment, especially the two male Soul Warriors who looked extraordinary but now had floating footsteps as if they had been poisoned by a snake.
At this time, it was all up to the female warrior in red clothes to hold on, although she had a cultivation base of six layers of Cheng En Realm, but she couldn't do anything about the numerous snakes.
If this continues, in less than half a time unit, these three people will definitely be buried in the belly of the snake.
What shocked Jiang even more was that around these two men and one woman, there were nearly a hundred dead snakes, all of which were mid-grade fierce beasts - the Red Blood Snakes.
At that moment, Jiang Cheng's first thought was - so many snakes!
The second thought is to save people, and to save them without hesitation!
When you go out, who doesn't have some difficulties?
He took a quick glance around, Jiang Cheng sprang up like a agile monkey and climbed onto a large tree. As soon as his legs wrapped around the trunk, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
Instantly, nine out of ten bows open!
Whoosh!
The sharp whistling of the arrow tearing through the air made the three people, whose faces had almost become numb, jump in unison.
When the arrow flashing with a faint light pierced through the seven inches of the two red-blooded snakes and nailed them to the ground, the three people's nearly desperate expressions suddenly collapsed, replaced by an unparalleled desire to survive.
As they looked towards Jiang Cheng's direction, the two male Soul Masters who had been poisoned by the snake venom also mustered their remaining strength and shot out a spiritual light, which instantly exploded into an electric current that shot towards the red-clothed woman's Scarlet Blood Snake.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The sound of arrows piercing the air kept rising, and Jiang Cheng, who was in a superior position, almost every arrow could nail or seriously injure two red-blooded snakes.
When the quiver on his back was empty, Jiang Cheng's body flipped over and he rolled off the top of a large tree, the bright light of his knife flashing out repeatedly.
In a few moments, he would cut down the remaining few Red Blood Snakes one by one.
"It's great, we thought we were doomed for sure, but unexpectedly got saved!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"
"Little brother, you're too awesome! Being bitten to death by these disgusting guys would be a terrible way to go!"
Three people were rescued, and they thanked Jiang Cheng without saying a word. Especially one of them, a handsome martial artist with sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, and a tall stature, wearing a sky-blue robe, looked even more grateful, almost to the point of tears.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile at Hongyi's words, it seemed that no matter which world they were in, loving beauty was a woman's nature.
"Outside, everyone has a hard time, maybe next time, it will be someone else's turn to save me!" Jiang Cheng smiled, his smile very sincere.
"You're so kind!" The red-clothed woman, who had narrowly escaped death, chuckled and wiped the sweat from her forehead as she began to introduce herself, "My name is Geng Xinyu, this guy in blue clothes is called Hou Yulong, that one with the knife is called Hou Pan, little brother, what's your name!"
"Kind?" Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head. Whether he was kind or not, he couldn't say himself, but one thing he could be sure of was that when faced with this kind of situation, even if he had already died once before, he would still take action.
Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to go and get himself killed, just doing what he can.
"My name is Jiang Cheng!"
While speaking, Jiang Cheng continuously squatted down and peeled off several red-blooded snakes, picking out the snake gallbladders and throwing them to Hou Yulong and Hou Pandao who were suppressing the snake venom with their spiritual power: "Each of you swallow a few snake gallbladders, these snake gallbladders can't replace your antidote for the snake venom, but they can slow down the spread of the venom, making it take effect more slowly!"
"Thank you!"
Hou Yulong, with a stern expression and starry eyes, swallowed three snake gallbladders in one breath. On the other hand, Hou Pan, who was shorter and stouter, thanked him before swallowing the snake gallbladder after receiving it.
"Little brother, what brings you to Snake Valley? Your cultivation is not high, but your skills are extremely fierce." Hongyi Geng Xinyu asked again.
"Find something." While poking the Red Blood Snake's head to check for Beast Spirit Pearls, Jiang Cheng asked, "I need a few snake-type Beast Spirit Pearls, not many, just two or three, can I?"
In fact, Jiang Cheng didn't need to ask this question, as he had killed a fair number of Chi Xue snakes before. However, out of politeness, he still asked.
"Beast Spirit Pearl?" Geng Xinyu was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Ah, he must be referring to the Yao Dan. I remember my grandfather telling me that mountain people like them are unenlightened and call it the Beast Spirit Pearl." Hou Yulon explained, seeing Geng Xinyu's surprise.
"So that's what they call this thing outside - a demon pellet?" Jiang Cheng raised the beast spirit pearl in his hand, looking somewhat displeased.
Hou Yulung was somewhat displeased with the label "unopened mountain dweller", a feeling similar to when city people used to mock simple country folk by calling them "country bumpkins".
Hongyi Ge Xin smiled and glared at Hou Yulon, "Of course, there are many in here that you shot to death. Moreover, you saved our lives, so even if it's all of them, you can take them away, no problem!"
And if what I found is not enough, I still have a few more in my hand that I can give you!
"No need, that should be enough!" As he spoke, Jiang Cheng had already found four Snake Beast Spirit Pearls, or rather, the Yao Snake Dan. When Jiang Cheng found the fifth Scarlet Blood Snake's Beast Spirit Pearl, his ears moved, and a sound like the tide of the sea suddenly drilled into Jiang Cheng's ears.
"Snake! A snake!"
Jiang Cheng suddenly stood up, and at the same time, he was shocked to see that the mountains and fields were all filled with snakes, and the snakes from all directions were rushing towards where they were standing.
Dazed for a moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly turned around and sternly shouted: "What have you people done?"
Thanks for the support from Xiao Nian Gao and Heng Qian Jun, thanks for the support from brothers, bow!
