Chapter 113: Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes
The peach petals fell like rain in the sky, and Murong Er's tall figure like a black tower was grinding over like a bull in the peach blossom rain, forming an indescribable picture, showing in front of Lu Chaoran and others. The ten-mile peach blossom in his hand, with every powerful wave he made, left a long band of pink light in the air, lingering endlessly.
The seven fire rhino monsters were also tall and mighty in human form, wearing thick black armor, and when they rushed towards Murong Er together, the earth shook. However, when they fell into the sword edge of the ten miles of peach blossoms, they fell down one after another. When the last fire rhino realized that there was no chance of victory and that he should flee, it was too late, a pink band of light crossed his throat, and he saw the whole world spinning towards his head, and then he saw his body in a fleeing position, still standing, without a head, and then he realized that the head had moved.
Murong Er put the ten miles of peach blossoms into the scabbard, and the pink light strand that was stuck in the air quickly faded. He stood proudly, the corpses of the fire rhinoceros around him were standing or lying, and the peach petals in the air were slowly falling, not disappearing. Seven milky-white, flame-like trembling chaotic body true elements emerged from the corpse of the fire rhino monster, three of which quickly burrowed into Murong Er's body, and the remaining four were silently extinguished.
"Haha, it's not bad, it's just that the level is too low. Murong Er grinned.
All this did not take more than ten seconds before and after, and Lu Chaoran and the other three were fascinated by it, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.
Murong Er didn't delay for a second, dissecting the corpses of the seven fire rhino monsters and taking out seven egg-sized demon cores. Each one is like a deep red gemstone. "This one is probably more than 10,000 gamma coins. Murong Er said.
He then incinerated the corpse of the fire rhino to ashes. Because they were going to stay around this place for about a month, they didn't want to attract the attention of the local demon too much.
They continued to walk south for two days before they reached the entrance to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes. Here, an invisible barrier seals the valley in its entirety. The valley is not big, and in fact, all the secret realms are not too big, because the larger the range, the more difficult it is to maintain the barrier, and the less effective it is. The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is generally S-shaped, eighty miles long and eighty miles wide, and there are some branch canyons in the middle. For a first-level secret realm, it's just right. If it is larger, it will be difficult for the enchantment to trap a youkai of this level. Moreover, the Xiaoyao Palace still comes every year to re-inject energy into the enchantment, otherwise, with the energy consumption of the enchantment, the monsters in the secret realm will also have a chance to escape.
This kind of barrier is difficult to break through from the outside, unless the demon realm gathers a large army to attack the barrier regardless of attrition. However, the demon realm is full of mountains, and they do not belong to each other, so they will not gather together to break the secret realm barrier at all. They didn't think that the monsters in the secret realm had anything to do with them at all. On the contrary, some monsters have deep contradictions with each other and hate each other, and they even feel that even if they are good with the human world, they are not willing to interact with each other.
And between the various sects, the matter of snatching the secret realm happens from time to time. However, the secret realm of Xiaoyao Palace, the sects that dare to rob it, are only afraid that there are not many. Unless the heads of those sects have their brains in the water, they will directly turn against the Xiaoyao Palace.
When using a secret realm like this, you can authorize a person above the Spirit Flying Realm to open it, and when you open it, it's like opening a small opening in the tent. After Murong Er took Lu Chaoran and the others into the enchantment, he said to them, "When you get here, you can move freely." The secret realm is not big, and if there is danger, I will rush over. ”
He bent down again and plucked some weeds on the ground, kneaded them into three fist-sized balls of grass, handed them to the three of them, and said, "It's okay to eat now, or after being bitten by a snake, in short, I will give you a special grass ball, and you don't have to worry about the snake venom in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes." Go ahead, be careful, try to find a lone snake demon, don't fight more with less. I'll fix the enchantment here, and then I'll wait for you. ”
The three of them looked at the grass ball in their palms, and they were all a little disgusted, so they didn't hesitate to pick it up first. This thing, until there is no way, it is better not to eat it.
So they pushed aside the dense weeds and vines at the mouth of the valley and walked into the dark forest of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.
The three of them walked in the forest, each holding their weapons in their hands, nervous and excited, they didn't know what kind of monsters they would encounter in this secret realm cultivation, and what kind of improvement they would have after completing their cultivation.
Once you enter the valley, it's a long downhill climb. The three of them were separated by a distance of about ten meters, forming a triangular formation, and slowly explored forward. After walking for nearly two hours with high vigilance, we came to the bottom. There is a crystal clear river at the bottom of the valley, and the sun shines on it. The three of them came out of the hot and humid forest, already drenched in sweat. My mouth was so thirsty that I wanted to drink the clear water immediately.
But this is not an ordinary place, since this is the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, if the snake demon upstream of the river is poisoned in the water, it will bring danger to them.
Three, you look at me, I'll look at you. Tired and thirsty, they were no longer willing to say a word, but they all nodded firmly, and each silently took out the grass ball and nibbled on a few bites.
It was exactly as unpalatable as they had expected, bitter and astringent, mixed with a spicy taste, and very old and unchewable. But they all insisted on swallowing the grass juice, even the chewy fiber.
After Lu Chaoran swallowed the grass dumplings, he rubbed his chest with his hand and said, "I can finally realize how painful it is to be a cow and a horse now. ”
Kongzhu shook his head and said, "Cows and horses will also choose delicious grass, which is like this guy, as long as it is grass, he pulls it out with his eyes closed." My experience is that our ancestor Shennong is so great that all the grass has to be tasted. I wanted to throw up after eating this time. ”
As soon as Kong Zhao swallowed the grass ball, he immediately picked up the river water and drank a few sips, the cool and sweet underwater stomach, and his spirit was refreshing. "Come and drink it, this water is so sweet!"
The three of them rested here for a while, and then continued their journey, and they walked downstream along the river, and after walking for another two hours, they still did not find a snake demon.
There was a fork in the valley ahead, and the river was also separated from each other, flowing into different valleys, and the three of them discussed at the forked place whether to continue the search together or separate.
Kongzhu was relatively small, and he didn't agree to separate: "Although the monsters here are all at the beginning of the Qi Refining Realm, so are we, they may be a few levels higher than us." And there is a numerical advantage. It's too dangerous to separate. ”
Lu Chaoran said: "But this search is too slow, since Master Murong is also here, it shouldn't be so dangerous, the secret realm is not big, if he calls for help anywhere, he can come quickly." In this way, you and Kong Zhao are in a team, and the search area should not exceed the range of twenty miles around Master Murong. I searched for those areas that were farther away. ”
Kong Zhu and Kong Zhao knew Lu Chaoran's stubbornness, so they had no choice but to nod and say, "Then you should be careful." If you spot their lair, come back quickly. ”
Lu Chaoran nodded and said, "Then you go back and search upstream, it will be closer to Master Murong." I'm going to scout the valleys one by one. ”
So Kong Zhu and Kong Zhao turned back along the river, and Lu Chaoran looked left and right, deciding to search the valley on the right first.
