Chapter Twenty-Four: What a Big One, Snake!
Ye Chen stared at the front with a war knife in his hand, cold sweat broke out on his solemn face, not far ahead, a one-horned snake with an ice blue body entrenched up, the snake's head was erect and it was a cut higher than the wooden house, and a pair of smart snake eyes were still looking here.
At this moment, Tie Dan'er roared and was about to cast the Devouring Bomb, but Ye Chen took the first step to stop its attack, kicked Tie Dan'er behind him, and then slowly retreated.
Can't fight, and can't beat at all, Ye Chen is very sure of this idea, because just now, the Ten Thousand Beasts Illustrated Book has a gratifying change, and the illustrated information of this big snake is automatically displayed, but this surprise implicates a greater fright, and the beginning of the illustrated book records: Extreme Ice Xuanyin Python, an ice spirit beast, is highly poisonous.
A gust of wind blew, and Ye Chen, who was retreating, couldn't help but shiver, at the same time, the eyes of the Xuanming python lit up, and the mouth of the snake slightly opened and spewed out a small stream of cold air, which instantly shot on the ground behind Ye Chen, and an ice wall condensed and sealed the retreat in an instant.
The bursts of cold air emitted by the ice wall provoked the stunned Ye Chen into a cold war again, and he barely came back to his senses and immediately turned back, urging the battle qi while holding the wind talisman in his left hand, and staring at the Xuanming Python's every move with full concentration.
"Hiss", the Extreme Ice Xuanying Python made a strange cry, and twisted its body back and forth with its mouth wide open, just when Ye Chen thought about the meaning, a shrill child's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "You laughed at me to death, do you want to cut me a few times, my tail is itching to death." ”
Ye Chen's brows were twisted together, and he looked around distractedly and didn't find the existence of a child, and after savoring the meaning of the words, he looked at the Xuanming Python again, and was surprised to find that it was pointing at his snake head with a snake tail.
"Can you speak?"
Ye Chen asked incredulously.
"No, it won't."
The Xuanming Python replied.
"And what did I hear?"
Ye Chen continued to ask.
"Spiritual communication."
The Xuanming Python replied.
"I see."
Ye Chen nodded again and again in a sudden realization, and stretched out his thumb full of praise: "I've been taught, thank you for letting me recognize my shortcomings, I'll go back to tutoring, goodbye." Ye Chen immediately walked to the side after finishing speaking, and secretly signaled Tie Dan'er to hurry up and follow.
"Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps,......。"
Ye Chen walked steadily while counting down silently in his heart, and walked like stepping on coals in just a few steps: "Four steps, three steps." ”
When he took the penultimate step, one of Ye Chen's hearts rose to his throat, and after counting, he swallowed his heart back fiercely, and his body rushed forward towards the edge of the ice wall, and it only took three steps to escape from here.
However, when the second step fell, Ye Chen's eyes began to freeze, and when the third step was taken, he slapped head-on on the ice wall, and finally fell straight to the ground.
"Hahaha, it's so fun, I'm laughing to death."
The Xuan Ming Python rolled on the ground with its mouth wide open, and at the same time sent out a spiritual message.
Ye Chen covered his nose and stood up, and his stubborn temper broke out instantly: "Either you eat me, or you let me go, you can't be killed." ”
The Xuanming python stopped and lay on the ground, and then rolled the snake's tail to the front to support the snake's head, and said with a somewhat lazy message: "Okay, I won't tease you, you're here to find Lao Mu." ”
"The old Mu you are talking about, is it the old Mu?"
Ye Chen asked questions unconvincedly, and when he saw the Xuanming python moving the snake's head, he sat on the ground, and his body and mind were relaxed.
The sun rose, the sky was bright, after a period of talking, Ye Chen and the Xuanming Python got acquainted with a lot, not only learned that Mu Lao had not returned, but also indicated the purpose of cultivating here, and the Xuanming Python basked in the sun comfortably, signaling Ye Chen to close his eyes and pretend to sleep since he took it in.
Ye Chen got up and stretched his limbs, warmed up and began to collect his mind, and after calming down, he suddenly pulled out his war knife to urge the battle qi, and his diligent cultivation began, the red light of the war knife bloomed and swung repeatedly, and the beads of sweat rolled and swayed continuously.
In the following days, every day just after dawn, Ye Chen went to the forest to swing the knife to practice, until the moon hung in the sky, then put the knife into the sheath and went back to the house to rest, such a diligent and monotonous cultivation time, five days were spent in a flash, and the practice of a heavy slash was also nearing the end.
In the evening, Ye Chen stood with a horizontal knife and stared at the boulder in front of him, and after a few breaths, the battle was full of anger, and when the war knife was red all over, he exhaled and opened a knife brazenly.
"Boom, boom."
With two tight sounds, the boulder more than half a person high was split in half with a knife, and when the smoke and dust dissipated, Ye Chen had already put the knife into the sheath, carefully observing the fracture of the two halves of the boulder.
There are two connected gaps in the upper part of the fracture, which should be caused by the superposition of a heavy slash and fire attribute battle qi, while the lower part is relatively neat, because the boulder itself was shocked and cracked.
With a long sigh of relief, Ye Chen showed a satisfied smile, after five days of repeated practice, he was finally able to exert a double slash with a ninety percent strength, which was originally expected to be two layers stronger than a normal slash, but the actual destructive power was much more than expected, if it weren't for the fact that the value of the battle qi was not up to standard, Ye Chen wanted to start the practice of double slash immediately.
"Tut-tut, the little guy is good, he has basically mastered a heavy cut so quickly, much faster than the original Lao Mu."
The Xuanming Python stretched out the snake's head to Ye Chen's side and said in admiration.
Looking at the huge snake head, Ye Chen's breathing was sluggish, although it was not the first time he was so close, he was still a little uncomfortable: "Thank you, without your guidance, it wouldn't be so fast." ”
Ye Chen said very sincerely, and the Xuanming python was also praised very proudly, not only raised the snake's head by three points, but also arrogantly said: "This is all a trivial matter, since you have achieved achievements in cultivation, don't rely on it, this python has not slept well these days, hurry up and take that little fool back to your own nest." The Xuan Ying Python tucked the tip of its tail under its body at the same time as the message.
Ye Chen was not impatient in the slightest, and happily accepted this proposal, the small injury on the tip of the tail had already been discovered by him, it seemed that not only his own strength had improved, but even Tie Dan'er had made great progress under the teaching of the Xuanming Python.
In front of the wooden house, the Xuanming Python stood up and drooped his head, staring at the figures of Ye Chen and Tie Dan'er leaving: "Hey, stinky spider, this kid of yours is much more powerful than Lao Ye, as long as he is not as stupid as Lao Ye, it is better." ”
Early the next morning, Ye Chen got up early, dressed neatly, and left the dormitory with Tie Dan'er, he wanted to go to the canteen to meet the fat man, because the fat man had left a note: See you in the canteen in the morning, there is an urgent matter to discuss in detail.
There are not many people in the canteen in the early morning, and you can see the position of the fat man at the gate, he is chatting with a few people at the same table, and the spitting appearance must be very proud, and when Ye Chen wants to enter the canteen, the fat man greets him like the wind: "Brother Ye Chen, you can appear, and I don't know if you will disappear as soon as you play, I have lost several pounds of weight in the past few days." ”
In order to show that what he said was true, the fat man also patted his stomach, and the corners of Ye Chen's eyes twitched when he looked at the ups and downs of the flesh: "If, this is what you said urgently, I don't mind helping you lose dozens of pounds." ”
The fat man shuddered, and then said in one breath: "There is going to be an auction in the dark market today, I will go to you as soon as I receive the news, and besides, don't you want wind attribute magic crystals, I have also been working on the acquisition in the past two days, and I have already obtained these just now." With that, the fat man handed over a cloth bag and a card.
The cloth bag is full of crystal nuclei, with a total value equivalent to twenty-nine first-order magic crystals, Ye Chen took the cloth bag and put it in his arms, but when he took the card, he took a few more glances, this is a voucher card promoted by the Chamber of Commerce.
Common voucher cards are, bronze card, silver card, gold card, purple card, respectively can be saved, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1 million gold coins, and an extremely rare crystal card, which is said to be unlimited storage.
Ye Chen probed the silver card and put it away, there was only a quota of fifteen hundred gold coins in it: "When will the auction start?" Do we need to prepare something? There was no mention of the missing five hundred gold coins at all, Ye Chen was more concerned about the auction.
"The auction will take some time, we can go to the dark market first, but your identity is a little sensitive, you need to dress up."
The fat man replied very happily, but when he said how to dress up, he smiled faintly.
The so-called "dark market" was originally the residence of the craftsmen, and it was abandoned after the completion of the academy, until a teacher brother with an idea took a fancy to this place at a glance and turned waste into treasure.
On the streets of the dark market, the combination of two people and one beast is very eye-catching, one of them is a thin man, with thin face and triangular eyes, and the other is a fat man, with a big nose full of horizontal flesh, and that beast is the most eye-catching, except for the mouth and eyes visible, the rest of the body is wrapped in wool, especially the big lump on the top of the head, like a large mushroom hat.
Looking at the wool beast beside him, Ye Chen straightened his nose and said fiercely: "Da Zhuang, if there are no five bottles of transformation potion, we won't be done with this matter today." ”
"Haha, okay, okay, don't say five bottles, I'll give you eight bottles, haha."
Zhu Dazhuang's triangular eyes narrowed and he replied with a smile, but as soon as the words fell, the woolly beast bit his buttocks, and his thin smiling face instantly turned into a crying face.
Ye Chen was still very angry, but he couldn't help snickering when he saw this scene, in fact, this can't be blamed on the fat man, who would have thought that Tie Dan'er would be immune to transformation potions, and even that wool was not easy to come by.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, let's go buy some crystal nuclei first."
Seeing that the time was not early, Ye Chen commanded.
"My ass is so thin, you can't bite it in another place?"
Seeing that Tie Dan'er was obedient and relieved, the fat man began to be cheap again, but when Tie Dan'er glanced at his crotch, he hurriedly walked forward: "Let's go, I know a very affordable crystal nucleus monopoly." ”
Ye Chen was speechless, so he had to follow, and after several rounds came to a fairly intact house, he heard a familiar shout from inside before he entered the door.
"These three magic crystals, I will give you twenty gold coins, if I Han Batian don't buy it, see who dares to buy it."
Sure enough, it was Han Batian.
Confirming the idea, Ye Chen showed a strange smile, glanced at the excited iron egg, and then patted the fat man and walked into the house, and said loudly.
"I dare to buy it, and I want to buy it all."
