Mortal Alchemy

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Chen Ping followed the same method, killing at least six or seven thousand venomous snakes, some of which had given birth to demonic power and become snake demons.

Mu Luofei watched in stunned amazement, "How much spirit beast meat does Junior Brother Chen have in his storage bag?"

At the same time, she deeply admired Chen Ping's temperament, as doing so was steady and safe.

On this day, Chen Ping placed another piece of spirit beast meat at the entrance of the cave.

After waiting for a long time, no more snake demons came out.

Chen Ping nodded slightly and said to Mu Luofei, "Alright, Senior Sister Luofei, now we'll put on an invisibility talisman and start exploring this cave."

The two of them put on invisibility talismans and began to step into the dark and eerie cave.

This cave was of unknown depth. Chen Ping led Mu Luofei for ten miles and still hadn't reached the end. During that time, they hadn't encountered any snake demons, only some bats.

The deeper they went, the fewer demons there were, and they could see some startling snake sloughs.

During this time, Chen Ping saw a pure white little snake.

After walking for another half an hour, Chen Ping noticed something was wrong.

"Senior Sister, do you think that white little snake has been following us?"

Mu Luofei frowned slightly, "It seems so, but this snake doesn't have any demonic power. We have invisibility talismans on us, so it shouldn't be able to detect us."

"Yes."

Chen Ping's expression was slightly frozen, "That's what I find strange."

"Let's test if there's something wrong with this snake."

"How do we test it?"

Chen Ping's eyes were cold. He raised his sword, took a few steps back, and came to the white snake, intending to kill it.

As if sensing something, the white little snake quickly burrowed into a small hole in the ground.

"Junior Brother, there's really something wrong with this snake. It can see us!" Mu Luofei murmured:

"Could it be that the existence in this cave has already discovered us?"

Chen Ping said seriously, "It should be like this. There should be a half-step second-order snake demon in this cave."

"Snake demon..."

A look of panic appeared on Mu Luofei's pretty face, "Junior Brother, don't scare me. A half-step second-order snake demon, can we deal with it?"

Chen Ping comforted her, "Senior Sister, don't be afraid. I'll protect you. If that half-step second-order snake demon really discovered us, but we're safe and sound now, it means it's not confident in dealing with us."

"It even dares to let this snake follow us, just to test us."

"Okay, I believe you, Junior Brother."

Mu Luofei said seriously, "Let's continue to move forward! I hope we can find the century-old spirit milk soon!"

The two continued to walk deeper. Dozens of passages appeared in the cave, like a snake demon's nest maze, making people uneasy.

The Brocade-haired Treasure Hunting Mink poked its head out again, gave a soft cry, raised its small paws, and pointed out a path for the two of them.

They entered a passage pointed out by the Treasure Hunting Mink.

"Rustle, rustle~"

The two heard a dense sound of snakes. Looking back, they saw dozens of venomous snakes that had given birth to demonic power following them ten feet behind.

This distance was just outside their attack range, and among them, the white little snake appeared again.

Mu Luofei was a little uneasy, feeling like she had fallen into a monster's trap, feeling uncomfortable all over.

She couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother, what should we do?"

Chen Ping comforted her, "Senior Sister, let's stay put for now. We'll continue to move forward. These snake demons can't threaten us. Let's see what they want to do."

With that, Chen Ping walked forward, and Mu Luofei gently pinched the corner of Chen Ping's clothes.

One snake demon after another followed behind the two. Some had developed demonic intelligence. There was a human-like greed in their snake pupils, and they opened their bloody mouths, as if they were about to drool.

Feeling the gazes of these snake pupils, Chen Ping couldn't help but frown.

Are these snake demons not afraid of death?

After walking for another two cups of tea, dozens of venomous snakes had turned into hundreds of venomous snakes, spitting out their snake tongues at the two of them.

Moreover, the number of snake demons was still increasing.

Looking around, it was like a sea of snakes condensing and squeezing towards the two of them.

When the number accumulated to a certain extent, it directly cut off the two's retreat.

One snake after another stood up, not knowing whether there were still powerful snake demons hidden inside.

And in front of the cave passage, the rustling sound of snakes also began to sound.

Front and rear pincers, the passage was narrow.

Mu Luofei's goosebumps rose, and her face was a little unsightly, "Junior Brother, what should we do next?"

She was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, had a first-order defensive magic weapon, and a second-order offensive magic weapon given by Chen Ping, so she was naturally not afraid of these venomous snakes and little snake demons.

But there were too many of them, giving her a sense of being invited into a jar and being played with.

Chen Ping's face suddenly became a little unsightly, "The snake demon behind this is bold and courting death. Senior Sister Luofei, don't worry, just kill these snake demons. We'll directly expose our figures and rush inside!"

"Let's see what kind of medicine the other party is selling in their gourd!"

"Senior Sister Luofei, just hold up the defensive magic weapon."

As soon as Chen Ping's voice fell, a surge of mist-like magic power spewed out, and a golden light technique blasted out.

The dark cave passage was instantly illuminated, illuminating the dense, countless venomous snakes and snake demon faces, extremely hideous and terrifying.

Under a golden light technique, the two or three hundred venomous snakes and little snake demons gathered in front were instantly annihilated.

As for the second-order talismans and the Azure Lotus Sword Technique and other trump cards, they naturally couldn't be exposed until they saw the main culprit.

The other party was testing them, and Chen Ping naturally had to respond with ordinary methods.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

As soon as Chen Ping made a move, the hundreds of venomous snakes following behind also instantly jumped up and pounced towards the two of them.

"Courting death!"

Chen Ping once again used a golden light technique to annihilate the hundreds of venomous snakes behind him.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

Immediately, more venomous snakes and snake demons poured into the cave passage.

"Want to use the sea of people tactic to exhaust us to death?"

Chen Ping immediately reacted.

Who knew how many snakes were in this cave? Even if Chen Ping annihilated hundreds of snakes with one move.

But as long as there were enough snakes, they could exhaust Chen Ping and Mu Luofei's spiritual power.

With such a scale of repeated attacks, there must be something behind them directing them.

The two killed and moved forward, with dense, countless snake corpses all over the ground.

Mu Luofei used various spells to kill snake demons while testing which spell was the most handy, while her scalp was numb and she was carrying huge psychological pressure.

"Hiss, hiss!"

She had too little combat experience. Even though her spiritual power at the twelfth level of Qi Refining was not weak, her offensive spells were not flexible enough.

Often, when a move was blasted out, there would be remaining venomous snakes that had not been completely killed and pounced towards her.

The venomous snakes' fangs gnawed on the fluorescent light, but could not advance even an inch.

Mu Luofei was greatly panicked when she saw this scene, and hurriedly blasted out another fireball technique.

One fireball technique burned to death one or two hundred venomous snakes, and immediately there were venomous snakes pouncing up again. These venomous snakes and little snake demons were not afraid of death, and there were more and more of them.

But Mu Luofei's spiritual power was rapidly depleting. She gritted her teeth and asked:

"Junior Brother, there are too many snakes. If this continues, my spiritual power will be exhausted. What should we do?!"
