Chapter 8: Treasure Hunting in the Snake Cave

Along the pit that collapsed next to it into the hole, I saw that the body of the big snake blocked most of the hole, and the surrounding area was full of rubble that was shot down by the snake body, the little Taoist priest cleared out a way, and they walked into the hole along the hole, the hole was dark and very narrow, and from time to time they had to climb on the snake corpse to pass. Chen Mo was so frightened that she kept trembling, and her lips were biting and bleeding so that she wouldn't scream.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here"

As if sensing Chen Mo's fear, the little Taoist priest suddenly turned around and took her hand. Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, Chen Mo's fear was slightly alleviated.

"How did you get here? Didn't I tell you that if you don't cultivate enough, you can't come in? The little Taoist priest said as he walked, as if he wanted Chen Mo to stop being so nervous.

"I ...... I came in to look for you, and you haven't been back for five days" Chen Mo bit his tongue hard to make himself cry without opening his mouth, but his voice was tinged with a small cry.

Hearing her words, the little Taoist priest was stunned and stopped, and Chen Mo suddenly didn't stabilize and hit him directly on the back. "Are you alright? I didn't mean to, why did you stop all of a sudden"

"It's okay, it's here, let's hurry"

The little Taoist priest pulled down the hand that was touching his back for a while, pretending to be calm.

The cave became wider and wider, and the corpse of the great snake had long been left behind, and soon they came to the depths of a snake cave, which was the size of a football field, and in the middle was a nest made of a thin layer of spiritual grass, and there were more than a dozen snake eggs the size of a football in it.

"Those are snake eggs?"

"Yes, these snake eggs are about to hatch, so I was brought back by the male snake to feed the baby snake, otherwise I would have died a long time ago" The little Taoist priest also had palpitations when he said it.

"Are you on the task of these snakes this time? How could you take on such a dangerous mission? ”

"No, my task is to collect spirit money grass, I have already picked enough and am about to go out, but I don't want to meet a group of loose cultivators on the road who were hunted down because of the failure to hunt these two big snakes, I had a chance to leave, then one of them saw me and led the big snake to attack me, and took the opportunity to escape. I was entangled in the snake and fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself in the snake cave, and there was another loose cultivator, probably the one you saw swallowed. We stayed here for two days, the big snake didn't eat us, just enclosed us here, I thought it should be for the little snake to prepare food, until not long ago the loose snake took the male snake out to find a chance to escape, the female snake found out that he ran away and chased him out, so I took the opportunity to run, and then I met you"

"The male snake we killed?"

Chen Mo asked.

"No, it's a female snake, the female snake won't leave the cave lightly before the baby snake hatches, it should be that she didn't chase the loose cultivator and went back to the cave, and when she found me running away, she chased me out."

"Is the male snake powerful or the female snake?" Chen Mo asked timidly.

"Male snake, female snake most of the time in the hole to hatch eggs, male snake is responsible for going out to find food and protect the cave, so male snake is much more powerful than female snake"

Chen Mo swallowed his saliva and stretched out his hand to pull the little Taoist, "Let's run away."

The little Taoist priest took her hand, looked at her seriously, and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you out."

His small body was a head shorter than Chen Mo, but his serious expression made Chen Mo feel safe and reliable.

In the depths of the cave was a pile of black stuff that smelled of foul odor. Those were the clothes and feces of the monks that the serpent swallowed and spit out.

"I found a storage bag, there are a lot of spirit stones in it."

"I found a few rune papers, they should work"

"Hey, this is good, there's even a flying sword"

Chen Mo and the little Taoist crouched on the side and rummaged for a while, at first they felt disgusted, but they were attracted by the things they found when they searched for it, and they were completely regarded as treasure hunting, and the more they turned over, the happier they became.

All kinds of rummaging and sorting, they found a total of more than a dozen storage bags, and there were as many as two hundred spirit stones in them, among which there were three medium-grade spirit stones, Chen Mo knew for the first time that the original spirit stones were also divided into grades, and the most common ones were the low-grade spirit stones, and there were medium-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones.

Chen Mo stared at the three medium-grade spirit stones with the eyes of the earth buns, and said, "I don't see anything special?" ”

The little Taoist priest sighed and put the medium-grade spirit stone in the palm of her hand, "Try the concentration of the spiritual energy inside."

"Wow~ It's so comfortable, so rich aura," Chen Mo held the spirit stone in his palm with a look of enjoyment.

"Be careful not to absorb the aura inside, it will reduce the grade of the spirit stone," the little Taoist priest reminded in time, "These are two magic talismans, if there is any accident in a while, you can use them to escape directly, you know?" ”

Looking at Chen Mo's expression on his face again, this is a divine horse can you eat, and the little Taoist priest resigned himself to the role and usage of the divine talisman.

"What other rune paper do you have?" Chen Mo asked with sparkling eyes.

"There are also two fire talismans, a burst talisman and an ice talisman, these runes are used in battle, your aura is low and you don't move, you just put on the magic talisman and run outside the forest for a while, there is an enchantment outside the trial forest, and the demon beast can't get out"

The little Taoist priest didn't expect this woman who didn't know anything to help, and finding a way to let her escape could be regarded as repaying her for coming in to find her affection. But Chen Mo stopped doing it when she heard it, although she was so scared that she wanted to run away for a long time, she couldn't be shameless enough to let him run first against the demon beast, in Chen Mo's eyes, no matter how powerful the little Taoist was, he was always a child.

"I'm with you, I'm going to walk together, I'm going to die together"

Hearing this, the little Taoist priest was stunned for another moment, his heart was surrounded by inexplicable love, and he was so moved that he almost cried, but Chen Mo's words made his face black with anger.

Chen Mo thought he was very elder-like, patted the little Taoist priest on the shoulder and said, "How can I, an adult, be embarrassed to leave your child and run away, I will be scolded to death by the whole world, it is better to be with you, and I can make a name for myself if I die."

The little Taoist priest was almost spurted out by a mouthful of old blood from her, glared at her and sighed halfway, "That's it, whatever you want"

"What do you want to do? You won't just rush over and fight the male snake, will you? ”

Chen Mo opened his mouth, and the little Taoist priest couldn't help but want to slap her away, gritted his teeth and said, "No, rushing over is also feeding the snake, those monks are all cultivators of the fifth or sixth level of Qi cultivation, and the siege of the big snake is dead, and I just sent it to death if I rushed over like this."

"That's it, I estimate that the big snake is almost digested at this time, and now we have no advantage in going, so it's better to set up an ambush pit in its hole, maybe there is some chance of winning" Chen Mo was actually afraid that the little Taoist priest would rush over directly, and at this time, when she heard that the little Taoist priest actually understood things better than her, she instantly put her heart in her stomach, so she said to the little Taoist priest.

Hearing her words, the little Taoist priest also glanced at her in surprise, thinking that this woman was not so stupid, and said, "I have this plan, I will hide at the entrance of the cave for a while, and as soon as the male snake enters the hole, he will use the burst charm to sneak attack it, and you will take the opportunity to sneak out from the side."

Hearing that the little Taoist priest did not forget to let her run away first, Chen Mo was still a little moved, so he also said, "I think we can do this, you now have the ice charm, the fire charm, the burst charm, the male snake back to the cave must find that there is a change in the hole, if you refuse to enter the hole, it will be troublesome, when the time comes, I will pretend to want to take the snake egg next to this snake egg, the male snake will inevitably rush in, when the time comes, you hide next to it and take the opportunity to freeze it with the ice charm, and then hit it with the burst charm seven inches, if it can still move in the end, burn it with the fire charm, Give it two heavens of ice and fire. If that doesn't work, we'll have to run away, and you'll leave one of this magic talisman just in case."
