The next day, Bai Ze got up early, packed up, left the cave, and went straight down the mountain. It's hard to go up the mountain, easy to go down the mountain. Bai Ze only took two hours to run down from the main peak.
Bai Ze coaxed and tricked the Nine-Colored Spirit Deer out of the seal of the Wufeng Sword. Otherwise, it would have been almost impossible for him to reach the valley where the snake was infested last night in less than two days on the thirty-mile mountain road.
With the strength of Jiuselu's feet, Bai Ze had reached the vicinity of the canyon at noon. But Jiuselu refused to go any further, chirping and chirping, saying that the spiritual pressure here was too great and that it couldn't breathe.
Bai Ze was more vigilant in his heart, but unlike Jiuse Lu, he did not feel the so-called spiritual pressure. It was just that the nearby mountains and forests were too quiet, giving him an inexplicable pressure.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Lu." Bai Ze sealed the Nine-Colored Deer into the Broken Sword and trekked to the canyon alone.
The winter giant has crossed the Great Wall in the northern region of Yan State, and the weather is getting colder. But the closer we get to the canyon, the coldness gradually disappears, and the air becomes strangely warm.
"Is there a strange phenomenon between heaven and earth?" Bai Zexin said. When he reached the edge of the canyon, he finally understood the reason.
The canyon in front of us looks like a huge sinkhole. The sinkhole stretches for nearly a hundred miles. The crater is filled with clouds and mist and smells like sulfur.
"Hot Spring Valley?" Bai Ze understood. At first glance, the vegetation here was sparse. All the vegetation that might have grown in this dangerous environment maintained its green and rich vitality.
Bai Ze recalled what Sword Spirit had said to him last night, that the Moon-Watching Orochi was definitely dead, and only its remains were left in the valley. Bai Ze believed it in his heart, but he was just afraid of what might happen. If the big snake hadn't died, Bai Ze would go into the valley and die a hundred times, but it wouldn't be enough for the big snake to look at him.
The white mist was steaming, and Bai Ze looked around and observed carefully. This look really made him see the remains of the huge black snake.
As the sword spirit said, the big snake really only had bones and scales left. In the hot spring valley, the remains of the huge black snake almost grow together with the mountain. If you don't look carefully, it seems that it is a jagged and strange rock.
Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief. Since the big snake was really dead, he had nothing to worry about. He found a place that was not too steep and went straight down the valley.
The further down you go, the weaker the smell of sulfur becomes. Bai Ze was surprised. When he reached the bottom of the canyon, the temperature here was already like a warm spring. The hot springs blocked the cold winter air above the canyon.
"The size of this big snake is too terrifying, isn't it?" Bai Ze touched a bone of the remains of the big snake beside him. The bone was nearly ten feet long. Bai Ze pressed it hard, but the bones that had been blackened by time did not break. cracked, but still retains its unyielding hardness.
There are a large number of hot springs scattered in the canyon, the largest of which is simply a small lake. The hot spring water is vast and evaporates into mist.
"This big snake has been dead for thousands of years, but its remains are still so hard." Bai Ze imagined what the canyon would have looked like when the big snake was not dead, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The body of the monster is indeed powerful. Even a Taoist master has survived thousands of years after his death. Years later, they will return to their ashes and return to their ashes. The eminent Buddhist monks only burned a few relics. Due to racial disparity and physical advantages, the human race is still too weak after all."
Bai Ze planned to walk around the remains of the big snake.
Such heaven-defying creatures were also the overlords of one party when they were alive. In this case, if you can find some treasures in the remains of this big snake, it will definitely not be ordinary.
But what disappointed Bai Ze was that he walked from the snake's tail to the snake's head, but he couldn't find any treasure at all. There were only the remains of the big snake in the hot spring valley, but it was useless for Bai Ze to ask for that thing. The bones were hard, but they were about the same as rocks and could be broken with a sword.
As for the snake scales, they are rotten in the soil. Is it possible that they can still be picked up and found to be used by someone to build a suit of armor? Covered in snake scales, Bai Ze's scalp goes numb just thinking about it.
Bai Ze looked at the huge snake head like a hill in front of him and got in to see if there was anything valuable he could pry away and sell.
This big snake looked at the moon last night, and it exerted tremendous pressure on him from a distance of thirty miles. It was really unreasonable that he didn't have a treasure in his body. Bai Ze got into the snake's head and first felt the big snake's mouth full of fangs. He couldn't help feeling happy and said, "This black snake is really excellent. Just with its mouth full of fangs, it is hundreds of miles ahead of ordinary big snakes."
But after touching around, I was surprised that there wasn't a single snake tooth that looked like it could be sold for money. Frustrated, Bai Ze was determined to get into the big snake's head, but this drill actually allowed him to get something out.
In the huge cavity of the Black Snake's head, unknown bones set up a huge support, with a palm-sized bright green pebble growing straight on the upper end of the support.
"Could this be the Black Snake Soul Stone?" Bai Ze was overjoyed. The monster beast had reached a certain level of cultivation and could condense soul stones in its body.
This kind of soul stone, to put it bluntly, is formed by gathering the power of the soul, and human monks also have it. Bai Ze hurriedly ran over, picked out the green pebbles and stuffed them into his arms. I thought that my trip was not in vain. I could get a soul stone. Whether I use it myself or sell it to the Chamber of Commerce, it would be a profitable business.
To know the subtle realm, you need to open the door of spiritual consciousness. To step over the subtle realm and step into the Supreme realm, soul cultivation is necessary. Wouldn't it be wonderful to use this soul stone to refine and absorb it when the time comes?
Bai Ze felt that he was complete and got out the big snake's head. He couldn't help but feel moved when he looked at the hot springs all over the valley. I had been in the mountains for many days and was constantly exhausted from running around. I had no time to clean myself up. Now that it's warm everywhere and there are hot springs, why not take a refreshing bath?
Bai Ze just did it, ran to a hot spring, took off his clothes, jumped in and started cleaning.
The hot spring water has a moderate temperature and is just right hot. Bai Ze soaked in it and washed away the fatigue from the past few days. He leaned against the rocks at the edge of the hot spring and breathed a long sigh of relief.
With his mind relaxed, Bai Ze suddenly smelled a faint scent in the air. Bai Ze felt strange in his heart. The fragrance was a bit weird, but it didn't smell like it had any psychedelic effect.
"What is it?" Bai Ze stood up from the hot spring, took a breath, evaporated the water, put on a coarse cloth, tied his sleeves, tied his hair, put on a black robe, wore a pair of swords, and walked towards the hot spring valley looking for the faint fragrance. Deep in the fog.
The humidity in the deep valley is extremely heavy, and the moisture in the air is frighteningly high. Bai Ze only walked for a while, and a thin layer of mist had already condensed on his sword eyebrows.
There are hot springs everywhere, and Bai Ze can't help but wade in them from time to time. After searching for half an hour, Bai Ze finally saw the source of the inexplicable aroma. Not far away, on Tingzhou, the largest hot spring in the canyon, a strange-looking small tree grew, with a faint green fruit growing on the tree.
"Most of the strange phenomena in the world contain elixirs." Bai Ze was overjoyed when he saw it. "This canyon is the burial place of the mysterious snake in the past. Could it be that this elixir was guarded by the mysterious snake earlier?" To know where all the elixirs are, They are all accompanied by strange beasts.
Bai Ze looked at the quality of the elixir, and when his spiritual sense sensed the potency emitted by the elixir, his eyes shone even brighter. Although he is not an alchemist or alchemist, he can still simply judge the medicinal properties and grades of this elixir.
The elixir growing in the hot spring lake Tingzhou in front of me was also the second-class elixir in the fourth level of the sacred treasure spirit, a treasure!
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Bai Ze jumped into the hot spring lake and went directly to Nadingzhou in the lake. The area of Tingzhou is not large, only about a hundred feet in radius. Bai Ze, whose swimming ability was attributed to Xie Xuanzhen, walked to Tingzhou and climbed up in one breath.
The strange rocks in Tingzhou were rugged, and Bai Ze was soaked to the skin. When he walked to the strange little tree, he could see clearly what the elixir looked like.
"This fruit looks really interesting." Bai Ze looked at the aura-filled fruit on the tree. The color of the fruit was no different from the pebbles Bai Ze had just pulled out of the black snake's head, but the appearance of the fruit was strange, resembling a Little snake.
Bai Ze didn't do much research on elixirs. During those years of traveling with Xie Xuan, the weird old man never mentioned that he could make elixirs.
The snake fruit looks strange, but there is no evil spirit. Bai Ze was not afraid that the fruit was poisonous, so he put it away anyway, and at the worst possible time left Dushan and went to the Chamber of Commerce to have it appraised and then deal with it.
"Huh?" Bai Ze was about to pick the medicine when he suddenly felt the pebbles in his chest moving. He was so surprised that he took out the pebbles. He was shocked when he saw that they were pebbles. They were clearly snake eggs!
Bai Ze yelled and almost threw the snake eggs out. When the green snake egg approached the snake fruit, its surface suddenly became translucent. Bai Ze could clearly see through the translucent egg shell that there was a small snake swimming happily inside the egg!
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Bai Ze's face turned pale, that's all! There is a snake in my arms, and one day it suddenly hatches and bites him. If the snake's fangs are poisonous, it won't kill him directly!
The little snake in the egg swam happily, wagging its head and tail in the direction of the snake fruit, obviously very happy with the fruit.
Bai Ze subconsciously pinched the snake egg. It was very hard and could not be pinched. Bai Ze felt a little relieved, which meant that the little snake inside the egg still couldn't come out for the time being.
He reached out and picked the snake fruit, put it away in the jade box in the chess piece, and then sealed it together with the snake egg into the chess piece on his wrist.
Bai Ze didn't want the little snake inside the egg to hatch suddenly and bite him to death in one bite. After doing this, he was thinking about whether to dig up the small tree in Tingzhou to see if there were any fruits under the roots, when he suddenly heard a huge sound of water breaking from the nearby hot spring water.
The huge shadow swam in the water very quickly, heading straight for Tingzhou.
The edgeless sword vibrated violently and made a vigilant sword cry. Bai Ze didn't even think about it. His luck was transported by mountains and rivers, and he was six feet away in one step. He raised his zhenqi fiercely and planned to cross the hot spring lake and land directly on the water.
But it's too late.
When Bai Ze stepped into the water, the monster had already rushed out of the water. Bai Ze turned around subconsciously and saw a shadow that was at least ten feet high rushing into the thick fog. The hot spring water next to Tingzhou exploded into a sky full of mist, with an astonishing force.
"boom!!--"
Bai Ze held his breath, only to feel the cold and murderous intent envelope him. The next moment, the monster hissed, the sound was so weird that it made people feel numb.
The sound of a black snake spitting out a message!
