Snake Immortal: Devour the Immortal Emperor at the beginning
Chapter 15: The Living Medicine in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley
The Wanshe Valley is full of green plants, weeds, and puddles of various sizes. The sunken terrain leads to a humid climate and stagnant water, making it a paradise for mosquitoes, snakes, and ants.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth often gathers here, resulting in the birth of some spiritual herbs.
The most famous one is the snake fruit in the deepest part!
Xu Hei got into a puddle and swam towards the depths of the Wanshe Valley.
Not long after, he came to the end of the Wanshe Valley. The soil here was soft and moist, without a single weed. Only a tree growing on a high slope absorbed all the nutrients.
The tree was not big, about the height of a person, and there were three dark fruits on the tree.
"Snake fruit!"
Xu Hei stared at the fruit on the tree with a fiery look.
Snake fruit, as the name suggests, is a fruit that is very attractive to snakes. As long as you take it, you can enhance your physical fitness and have a certain chance of transforming into a snake demon.
Xu Hei once took a snake fruit and became the old snake king who was terrified.
Snake fruit matures every three years.
Calculating the time, this year is the season for it to mature again.
Xu Hei didn't know what the snake fruit was for back then, and he swallowed it purely on instinct.
After gaining human knowledge, he realized the true value of the snake fruit. Not only can it be swallowed directly, but it can also be used to make pills, which is very valuable.
The reason why Wanshe Valley can gather so many snakes is that in addition to the breeding season, the snake fruit is also an important factor.
"Three years ago, I only swallowed one snake fruit. If I swallow three in one breath this time, I wonder if I can break through the fourth level of the spiritual period."
Xu Hei thought to himself that once he reached the middle stage of the spiritual period, he could cast some spells, and it would no longer be a pure physical fight.
This is a qualitative leap!
Before the snake fruit is officially ripe, it will not emit fragrance, and the energy is also very mixed. Only after it is ripe, the medicinal effect will be perfect, and it will also emit a strong breath to lure snakes to swallow.
According to Xu Hei's estimation, the ripening time is in the next few days.
"Don't be too happy, check if there is any danger nearby."
Xu Hei left the fruit tree and dived into the swamp. He spread his consciousness and observed everywhere.
…………
The area of Wanshe Valley is not large.
Xu Hei spent an hour wandering around and did not find any danger. Except for the sky, there were occasionally a few hawks circling and preying on snakes.
Wanshe Valley was full of snakes and insects, and it was normal to attract some natural enemies to prey on them.
This kind of eagle was not a threat to Xu Hei. As long as it was not a monster, Xu Hei was too lazy to pay attention to it.
But Xu Hei felt that the place where this kind of spiritual medicine grew must be guarded by monsters.
Xu Hei was startled. Wasn't he a monster?
After resting for a while, he planned to continue to explore the periphery.
At this time, a female white snake crawled towards him.
The white snake was about one meter long and looked the same as him, but the color was different. It should have been attracted by Xu Hei's smell.
Xu Hei has no interest in this kind of beast now. Cultivation requires conserving essence and essence. The other party must be at least a powerful snake demon, which will help his cultivation. Xu Hei might consider it.
Xu Hei was about to leave.
Suddenly, he felt that the white snake in front of him seemed familiar, both in terms of breath and appearance.
The white snake stopped about ten feet away from Xu Hei, lying on the ground, quietly looking at him, motionless.
Her eyes were calm and she did not make any noise, indicating that she was not hostile.
"I remember, this is an old friend. Every time I came back in previous years, she would come to find me."
Xu Hei said darkly. The white snake had memorized his scent. As long as Xu Hei came back, she could find him.
Generally, males follow females, but this white snake is the opposite.
Xu Hei thought of a saying in the human world and couldn't help sighing: "You and I are separated by immortals and mortals, so let's say goodbye."
He made a rustling sound and turned to leave.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the Wangchen Pill, otherwise he could give her one.
Of course, it is more likely that Xu Hei is self-indulgent. How can snakes have emotions? Even if the demon beasts are spiritual, instincts dominate most of the time, and not everyone is Xu Hei.
After Xu Hei left, the white snake followed behind and swam for a while.
Xu Hei suddenly accelerated, leaving the latter far behind, and his figure disappeared.
…………
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and the day when the snake fruit matured arrived.
Outside the Ten Thousand Snake Valley.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, arrived at the same time.
The two stood on a tree, exuding a strong smell of realgar. When the nearby snakes smelled it, they all stayed away, hating this smell.
These two people, a man and a woman, were wearing a dark blue python robe and a red Taoist robe respectively.
If Xu Hei was here, he would definitely recognize that the handsome young man was Zhao Wenzhuo.
The woman in the red Taoist robe next to him was his senior sister, Song Shiyu.
"Senior Sister Song, this is the Ten Thousand Snake Valley that Senior Brother Ding and I discovered, and the spirit snake fruit is inside!"
Zhao Wenzhuo pointed to the valley, bowed his head, and looked flattering.
"Well! You did a good job!"
Song Shiyu nodded with satisfaction.
She had already found something strange about what happened that day. Ding Hai gathered so many villagers, obviously looking for something, so she investigated secretly.
As soon as she found some clues, Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't wait to confess everything.
He also confessed all the details of how Ding Hai alarmed the bear monster and killed the villagers.
As for the rest, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Senior sister, I won't take advantage of you. Let's take half of the spirit snake fruit, okay?" Song Shiyu said calmly.
Zhao Wenzhuo was immediately excited and bowed with his fists: "Thank you, Senior Sister!"
"But Senior Sister, any spiritual medicine must be guarded by a monster, so be careful!" Zhao Wenzhuo added solemnly.
Song Shiyu nodded slightly and sneered: "Don't worry, Senior Sister has been prepared. The only snake monster in this area is the old snake king. If it dares to come out, it's just right to use its snake gall as medicine!"
Zhao Wenzhuo laughed immediately: "Haha, what a coincidence, Junior Brother has also made sufficient preparations, just to deal with the old snake king!"
After Zhao Wenzhuo finished speaking, he also took out a snake-shaped flute and showed it off.
Song Shiyu smiled knowingly and said no more. She took out a handful of waxy yellow soil and smeared it on her body.
This is the realgar powder refined by the snake catcher, which can repel snakes and insects. As long as the smell is smelled from a distance, snakes will automatically avoid it, and it also has a certain effect on snake monsters.
Zhao Wenzhuo did the same. After doing this, the two entered the Ten Thousand Snake Valley one after the other.
…………
That day, Xu Hei was lying on a big rock, breathing in and out.
The white snake, lying not far away, just kept looking at him.
Except when the white snake would leave for a while during the hunting period, it followed Xu Hei most of the time.
Xu Hei did not stop it, after all, he was half an acquaintance, and would leave after eating the snake fruit.
And at this moment, the originally motionless white snake seemed to smell something, flicked its tail, and quickly fled.
Xu Hei was stunned.
At the same time, in the distant bushes, rustling sounds continued to sound, and all the snakes were retreating in the same direction.
"What's going on?" Xu Hei was wondering.
The next second, he smelled a disgusting and unpleasant smell, which rushed towards him and almost made him vomit.
"What the hell is this smell?"
Xu Hei couldn't describe the smell.
In human terms, it was like a mixture of rotten eggs and feces, urine and farts, and it was foul and unpleasant.
Smell it once and you will feel sick, smell it twice and you will vomit, smell it three times and you will faint.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, Xu Hei can hardly control his body and wants to crawl away. Who can bear this?
However, his reason overcame his instinctive reaction.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Xu Hei endured the stench, held his breath, and looked forward with his neck erect.
I saw a man and a woman stepping on the wetland and walking towards the depths.
As they walked forward, they sprinkled yellow powder, and snakes and insects retreated. It was the realgar powder that snakes were extremely afraid of.
Some small snakes that didn't have time to run were even fainted by the smoke, and some were even directly poisoned to death.
"It's another damn snake catcher!"
Xu Hei recognized it at a glance.
The female cultivator didn't know him, but the man was Zhao Wenzhuo.
He had seen Zhao Wenzhuo's scheming. He would kill his own people if he didn't agree with them. However, judging from the attitudes of the two, it seemed that Zhao Wenzhuo was very pleasing to the female cultivator.
"These two are here for the snake fruit, right?"
Xu Hei looked at the direction the two were heading, which was exactly where the snake fruit was.
In addition to swallowing, the snake fruit can also be used to make pills, which is also beneficial to human cultivation. It is a rare and precious medicinal material.
If Xu Hei was afraid of the snake catcher before, he might have run away.
But now, he has some confidence.
Now, he is at the peak of the third level of the spiritual period, at the critical point of the middle stage, and his cultivation is not inferior to the other party.
The snake catcher is not invincible either. Both the octopus and the bear demon easily killed the snake catcher. Xu Hei is much stronger than these two.
Xu Hei pondered for a while, lurking in the water, and quietly followed.
He is very small. After a year, he is still only two meters and five. This is very different from ordinary snake demons. It is suitable for hiding, which is his advantage.
Xu Hei did not take action for the time being. He just wanted to follow and see.
What if these two people suddenly have an internal conflict? This is a fine tradition of mankind.
"Sister Song, what if the old snake king doesn't show up?" Zhao Wenzhuo asked with a smile.
Song Shiyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "The old snake king has lived for more than ten years, and his life span is coming to an end. This time, the spirit snake fruit is very important to it. If it doesn't eat it, it will age and die. It is impossible for it not to show up!"
Xu Hei was stunned when he heard the two people talking.
He has lived for more than ten years? How come he doesn't know?
Xu Hei forgot how long he lived, but he swallowed this snake fruit three years ago. Snake fruit matures every three years, and he has a deep impression of this and will not remember it wrong.
It was in these three years that he ate people many times, so others called him the old snake king.
But from what this woman said, he has lived for more than ten years?
Looking at Zhao Wenzhuo's expression, he didn't think it was strange, and nodded with sudden enlightenment.
This made Xu Hei even more confused.
"Am I so old?
