Zhang Zhixuan had just returned from Qingxuanzong, and before he had rested for a few days to recuperate, someone sent a letter from Lushan County, and something happened to the family territory.

Because of the recent heavy rains, a river near Lushan was diverted, and it actually washed away a mountain peak, flooding a cave hundreds of miles away near Tiantai Peak.

Unexpectedly, in the depths of this cave, there was a huge snake cave, and countless poisonous snakes were washed away by the flood and then spread to Lushan County.

Here in Taicheng County, located on the edge of the Southern Wilderness, there were already countless snakes and insects, although the local mortals had experience in dealing with snakes and insects, but in a very short period of time, dozens of people were killed and injured.

After receiving the information from Lushan County, the family immediately sent monks to the farmland near Lushan County and began to kill all kinds of poisonous snakes, and also sent a message to notify several nearby vassal families to deal with it carefully.

This large-scale snake plague immediately aroused the vigilance of the patriarch and others, and he asked the elders of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation to guard the mountain, and he took Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan, the three foundation building period monks, to personally go to the cave where countless poisonous snakes were hidden.

When the three of them came to this cave, Zhang Zhixuan suddenly had a feeling of familiarity.

This desolate cave was the cave where Zhang Zhixuan fought for the first time and killed the man in black.

Until now, Zhang Zhixuan can't forget the battle of that year, he still remembers how panicked he was back then, fled into this cave in a panic, and used the spirit talisman given by the patriarch to defeat the opponent and escape back to Lushan.

"It turns out that there are countless poisonous snakes hidden in the depths of this cave, fortunately I didn't go deep into the cave at that time, otherwise in this kind of Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, even if I am already a monk, I am afraid that I will die without a place to bury."

Zhang Zhixuan thought about it happily, carefully observed the terrain inside and said: "Although a lot of poisonous snakes have been washed away, but after the rainstorm, the river recedes, I am afraid that there are still many poisonous snakes in this snake cave, and this hidden danger still needs to be solved." I heard that there were third-order demon beasts here back then, but they were killed by Tairen Patriarch, but I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, this place would become a hidden danger for the family again. ”

The patriarch nodded and said: "Because of the heavy rain for several days, the terrain here has changed, and this hill has even been washed away by floods, and now the river has been diverted, and the snake cave is almost connected to the river, and it is inconvenient for us to enter the water to fight." It is better to gather people to block the connection between the snake cave and the river, and then find a way to drain the stagnant water in the snake cave to solve this hidden danger. ”

After all, they are the most important monks of the family, once they are lost in the water, the family's losses will be irreparable, and it is better to fight steadily.

After the three of them returned to Lushan, they immediately transferred twenty family monks, ten people from several vassal families, and then more than 1,000 armor monks from Lushan County to come to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave together.

Under Zhang Zhixuan's planning, under the command of thirty Qi cultivation period monks, everyone pushed a wheelbarrow, poured a cart of mountain rocks into the river, and after more than 20 days of fighting, blocked the connection between the Ten Thousand Snake Cave and the river.

In the process, more than a few hundred people were bitten by poisonous snakes, and even more than a dozen Qi cultivation monks were bitten.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan prepared a lot of detoxification pills, and with timely treatment, he only lost dozens of mortals.

And the monks in the Qi training period have mana to protect themselves, and the strength of their physical bodies is far beyond that of mortals, and their ability to resist poison is several times that of mortals, although there are also many people who are poisoned, but as long as they are treated in time, they all survive, and no one is lost.

The river was blocked, and Zhang Zhixuan and others took the Qi cultivation period monks to use spells to empty the stagnant water in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave day and night.

After another ten days, when the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave was already pitch black and there was no stagnant water in sight, Zhang Zhixuan immediately sent a Qi cultivation monk to take mortals to cut down the trees on the mountain, prepare a large amount of wood and dry the wood.

In this way, after another two or three months, he was bitten to death by poisonous snakes and more than 100 people, and even the Zhang family's Qi cultivation period cultivators also lost one person.

And at this time, countless pieces of wood had been piled up outside the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.

After making all the preparations, Zhang Zhixuan and the others took the Qi cultivation period monks, threw bundles of wood into the depths of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, and then used the Samadhi True Fire to set all the wood on fire.

The boiling fire was ignited in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, and in the past few months, Zhang Zhixuan and his team had cut down hundreds of thousands of stones.

The hundreds of thousands of stones of wood ignited, and the sky-high fire actually burned the mountain stones of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. The flames released by the raging fire turned the sky red, and even in the night sky, the fire near the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave seemed to be daylight.

The fire carried billowing smoke, rushing into the sky hundreds of feet high, and in Lushan County, hundreds of miles away, this black smoke could also be clearly seen.

Countless poisonous snakes were burned to charcoal on the spot, and a strong smell of barbecued meat could even be transmitted more than ten miles away.

Although the fire killed countless poisonous snakes, Zhang Zhixuan and the three outside the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave did not dare to be careless at all.

In a place like the Southern Wilderness, as long as there is a place like a snake cave, there will definitely be snakes and monsters.

In a similar situation, Zhang Zhixuan has already seen it once in Black Python Mountain.

Soon, seven or eight red light and shadow jumped out of the flames, and with a flick of his body, he could pop out more than ten zhang high, rushing towards Zhang Zhixuan and the three of them who were suspended in the air.

In the dark night sky, these seven or eight red lights are very conspicuous.

The patriarch has lived in Taicheng County for many years, and he knows the demon beasts of the Southern Wilderness best, so he reminded him after just taking a look.

"Be careful, it's a fire-spotted snake, this poisonous snake is a second-order mid-grade demon beast, not only highly poisonous, but also uses fire attribute spells."

Zhang Zhixuan and the three of them have already built a foundation, that is, Qingzen, who has cultivated to the weakest, and there are also several third-order magic weapons on her body, although she is weaker, but compared to when Zhang Zhixuan first built the foundation, her magical powers are also greater.

Several people sacrificed their flying swords one after another, and easily cut these fire-spotted snakes into two pieces.

After killing the fire-spotted snake, there was no movement in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave for a long time, but Zhang Zhixuan and the three knew that things would not be so simple.

According to their experience in the Southern Wilderness, there must be third-order demon beasts in the snake cave where there are so many poisonous snakes.

You must know that after the flood washed into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, the poisonous snakes that were washed away could actually harm Lushan County, which was hundreds of miles away, how could such a large number of poisonous snakes be so simple?

Zhang Zhixuan and the three of them waited patiently for seven or eight days, and when the fire was completely extinguished, there was no movement in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, and the three of them decided to enter the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave to find out.
