Chapter 15, Cold Ring Vermilion
Xiao Mo's movements were very gentle and careful, for fear that there was not only the golden-ringed snake that had just left to forage in this grass pond, but also many others, which turned out to be too worried.
The strange beast of the Golden Ring Snake is very rare, it is very rare, it is luck to meet one, if you still expect to have one hidden in this nest, it is obviously unlikely.
The grass pond is waterlogged, and there are many dry weeds in the middle. On some of the weeds, it was obvious that a heavy object had been crushed, and these marks were connected in a line, twisting in a serpentine shape, like a passage.
Without thinking about it, Xiao Mo could also understand that it must be the usual foraging path of the golden ring snake.
As long as he moved along the grass that had been crushed by the snake's body, Xiao Mo would definitely be able to find its lair.
Sure enough.
After only a moment, Xiao Mo came to the middle of the grass pond, where there was a black bush full of barbs. Beneath the bushes was a small dark red sand dune, like an island in a lake, but this lake was too small, and that island was too small.
Xiao Mo stretched out his hand and took out the only weapon he brought out from the Xiao family, that is, the green dagger that he used to hunt beasts every day, and vigorously cleared the obstructive bushes above the sand dunes, and then his eyes lit up instantly.
In the center of the mound, there is a huge black cave that continues to go down so that there is no bottom in sight.
The entrance to the cave is smooth and exudes wisps of snakey air. And on the sand on the ground, there was a faint golden light, flashing and flashing, which complemented the golden color on the golden ring snake.
Xiao Mo was overjoyed, he could instantly be sure that this must be the habitat of the golden ring snake. As he expected, with a sweep of his eyes, he saw that beside the cave, there were four dark red strange grasses of different heights but very same colors.
These four dark red strange grasses, the tallest of which was four inches tall and only had two leaves, were like a letter spit out by a snake, reaching high into the sky.
The leaves are elongated, the tips are forked, and they resemble the tongue of some kind of animal.
The lowest one is only about one inch, the other two are about two inches, and one is close to three inches.
"This is the cold ring vermilion grass, and there are four of them, the lowest quality one has a gray level intermediate, and the highest one has at least reached the green level and is rich!"
Xiao Mo's eyes flickered, and without hesitation, he immediately started to dig them all up, and then stored them in a jade box that he carried with him, and then he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
With these cold ring vermilion grasses, it is a certainty that he will be promoted to the eighth grade, even if he is into the ninth grade, there is a good chance.
Xiao Mo was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly his heart moved, and he took out the dagger again, widening the area around the cave a little. Then his body was lowered, and he went directly to the depths of the nest where the Golden Ring Ming Snake lived.
As soon as he entered the snake cave, there was a pungent fishy smell that drilled straight into the tip of his nose, Rao is Xiao Mo's will and determination were amazing, and he almost couldn't help but shudder.
Fortunately, he finally understood the purpose of his trip, forcibly held back, stretched out his hand and tapped his cheek twice, closed his breath, and then quickened his pace and continued to walk down.
The snake's den is getting deeper and deeper, and the surrounding area is gloomy and damp, which is really uncomfortable. Fortunately, the body of this golden ring snake is quite large, and the cave opened up is enough for Xiao Mo to enter alone, so he doesn't need to work hard. I don't know how long I walked, but the light was getting darker and darker, and the fishy smell was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, a moment later, the light in front of him brightened, and Xiao Mo suddenly appeared in an underground snake cave with a considerable area.
In the corner of the snake cave, there are four or five snake eggs with dark gold and strange patterns on them, which do not look gloomy and terrifying at all, but have a peculiar beauty.
Xiao Mo was overjoyed when he saw this, knowing that he had finally found what he was looking for.
The golden-ringed snake had obviously lived here for a long time, otherwise those cold-ringed vermilion grasses outside would not have grown to such an extent. And if a snake can live in the same place for many years, it is very likely that it is guarding its offspring.
Xiao Mo just thought about it casually, tried to find it, but didn't expect it to be really successful.
In this cave, the golden-ringed snake actually gave birth to four snake eggs, and it has not yet fully hatched.
Any one of these snake eggs is a great tonic, and most importantly, it is extremely important to some snake tamers, not to mention such a rare and rare golden ring snake egg, if it is taken out and sold, each one will be sold for a large price.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo did not hesitate, stretched out his hand, and put all the four snake eggs into the ragged clothes, and then tied a knot and hung them behind his back.
He looked around again, but found nothing else, knowing that the golden-ringed snake might come back at any time, and once it found out that it had swept away its snake nest and snatched all the grass and eggs, it would not be able to go crazy in an instant?
This is a place of right and wrong, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, and in the next few days, I am afraid that it is not suitable to show up, just use the four cold ring vermilion grass that I just got my hand to improve the realm.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo didn't stop any longer, his body turned, and he quickly left the snake cave along the road he came from, and then turned around and rushed towards the Lingtan cave where he lived.
He didn't know that not long after he left, the golden-ringed snake that had gone out to feed would return, and when it returned to the area around his cave, he immediately found that the area around the cave had been destroyed beyond recognition, and instantly realized that it was not good.
Immediately, it rushed to the front of the cave and found that the four cold ring vermilion grass had all disappeared, and after entering the cave, it found that its four snake eggs had disappeared without a trace, and in an instant the golden ring snake went crazy.
It frantically sniffed Xiao Mo's trails and chased towards the forest, but fortunately Xiao Mo also knew that it would inevitably leave a smell, so he first smeared some moon leaf juice on himself halfway.
This dark green moon leaf juice can effectively cover up the aura and hide the traces, it is the experience of countless cultivators who have learned from blood during their daily explorations, and Xiao Mo is naturally not unfamiliar with it.
Because his whole body was coated with Yuejian leaf juice, Xiao Mo successfully got rid of the golden ring snake, and then returned to the stone cave, and immediately chose to retreat.
He put away the gray-level mid-level cold ring vermilion grass and prepared to sell it after arriving in Haicheng in a few days. The gray level intermediate level is only effective for those who enter the early stage, Xiao Mo is the sixth layer of the determination, which is equivalent to the late middle stage, and this gray level intermediate cold ring vermilion grass has no effect on him.
Next, he began to take another of the four plants, a gray-scale high-grade Coldring Vermilion Grass.
The gray-level high-level cold ring vermilion grass can be effective for people who have entered the middle stage of concentration, which is just right for Xiao Mo, so he took the vermilion grass and instantly entered a deep retreat.
This retreat is half a month.
Half a month later, Xiao Mo's body was shocked, and he woke up again, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he had been promoted to the seventh grade, which was the threshold of officially stepping into the later stage of the Dingding.
He looked at the other two remaining Cold-Ring Vermilion Grasses, one of the top of the gray rank and the other of the low grade of the green rank.
The top level of the gray level cold snake vermilion grass is also effective in the late stage of entering the Dingding, if Xiao Mo takes it at this time, a month later, he will definitely be promoted to the eighth grade. And the low level of the green level is effective for entering the Great Perfection, if he reaches the ninth rank of entering the Great Perfection and takes it, he will be able to break through the bottleneck of entering the Great Perfection in an instant.
Although he was very excited, he also knew that it was too much, and continuous breakthroughs would easily bring about unstable foundations, so Xiao Mo still gave up his plan to immediately take that gray rank top cold ring vermilion grass, and prepared to talk about it after a while.
And he has been in retreat for so many days, and he doesn't know what has become of him in the forest.
When his breath changed greatly, he walked out of the cave again and came to the forest outside, and found that after only half a month, this forest seemed to have experienced a war.
In the forest, there are stumps and broken leaves everywhere, and the corpses of many low-level fierce beasts can be seen from time to time.
Xiao Mo had a faint guess in his heart, sped up, followed the path where he found the golden ring snake that day, and came to the grass pond again, and found that on the ground not far ahead, a huge snake covered in gold, and two huge wolf corpses with black colors, only red in their ears, fell on the ground separately, and all their breath was gone.
On their bodies, there were many traces of bites and injuries, and they had obviously experienced a big battle, looking at the mess around them and the bloodstained scene, Xiao Mo was speechless.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, just by looking at this scene, he could guess a little bit.
Obviously, during the half month he had been in retreat, he had managed to escape the wrath of the Golden Ring Serpent with the sap of the leaves of the Moonsaw Tree, but the other beasts in the forest had fallen into bad luck.
In the next few days, many bloody battles broke out in the forest, and Xiao Mo retreated in the stone cave, ignoring the things outside the window, and devoted himself to cultivation, completely unaware of how much chaos he brought to those fierce beasts in the forest because of him.
Many low-level beasts suffered as a result, and were killed by the enraged Golden Ring Serpent.
However, because of the provoking a series of battles, the Golden Ring Snake made too many enemies, and was finally outnumbered and killed by two bloodthirsty and poisonous wolves, which is the situation that Xiao Mo sees now.
Next to the corpse of the golden ring snake, the giant wolf with a small cluster of red long hair behind each of the two ears is one of the hunters in this jungle world, a bloodthirsty and poisonous wolf.
However, these two bloodthirsty and poisonous wolves were also bitten by the Golden Ring Snake in many places during the fight, and their bodies were soaked with the poison of the Golden Ring Snake, so in the end, although they joined forces to kill the Golden Ring Snake, they were also poisoned too deeply, and both of them died.
As a result, there is no doubt that all this is cheaper for Xiao Mo.
Although he was a little unbearable to cause this situation, the law of the jungle was originally pursued in the forest, and the law of the jungle was preyed, and Xiao Mo did not have much psychological burden, so he stepped forward without hesitation and used a dagger to split the bodies of the Golden Ring Snake and the two poisonous wolves that had been dead for several days.
After a while, the most valuable bright yellow snake tendon in the body of the Golden Ring Ming Snake, the slightly broken golden snake skin, and the wolf teeth, wolf bones, wolf blood and other things on the two bloodthirsty and poisonous wolves were all cheaper than Xiao Mo.
He packed the stuff and went straight back to the cave, laughing.
It was a surprise that nothing had been done on this day, and in a short period of time, the harvest had surpassed the sum of the previous days.
"With these, it is enough to exchange the wealth that I can use for cultivation in a short period of time, and it is time to leave this barren forest. Xiao Mo thought to himself.
