Chapter 297
Qin Yifan sat bored in the formation, looked at the monk who came over and was stunned for a moment, and pointed at her, "You ······ you" But there was no change in the monk on the other side, and then he remembered that the formation was open, and quickly let her in.
"Why are you back?"
"Aren't you looking for me?" Mo Ghost picked a stone and sat down, and whispered.
"Huh?" Qin Yifan's eyes widened, pointed at her, and quickly realized that she must have been nearby just now, I don't know which spirit grass it was, "In the future, I will let you investigate the surrounding situation, it is much more powerful than Shen Kongming!"
"No, it's that the spirit grass around here is too familiar. "I won't say anything else, but looking at the spirit grass in the glade of rattlesnakes, she is extremely familiar with each one.
"Then you also know that we are going to shake the light?" Hearing her say this, Qin Yifan did not mention this again.
"Well, when are we leaving?" Mo Ghost nodded, "Are the secret guards of the hall already here, do we need to introduce the Demon Beast Forest and explain it completely?"
"You've been teaching in the valley for more than two months, and we're here this time because we're not at ease, so we're going to re-investigate. Qin Yifan looked at the snake cave in the distance, "Oh, by the way, there is also the rattlesnake that you have been paying attention to, I haven't seen it for a few months." ”
"You mean, you haven't seen a rattlesnake in the past few months?" Mo Ghost frowned when he heard this, "In other words, I haven't seen it in nearly five months?"
"If you haven't seen it before, it seems like half a year. Qin Yifan pinched his chin and thought about it, "But we only come here for a few days a month, maybe it's a coincidence, but we haven't met it?" Besides, it's already October, and it's about to enter winter, and snakes and demon beasts don't come out often." ”
"The rattlesnake has advanced to the sixth order, and it is not afraid of the cold at all, and even if it maintains its original habits, if it does not come out in winter, it will hoard some demon beast meat before this, it is impossible to not see a shadow at all in August, September and October, right?"
The monks who have lived in Beiling City for a long time generally choose to come out at this time to hunt demon beasts, stay in the forest for a month, and cultivate well throughout the winter.
"yes," Qin Yifan scratched his head, "Why do you think so?"
"I don't know," Mo Ghost replied very simply, she hadn't been to the Demon Beast Forest for three months, not to mention that if she wanted to find out the reason, she would have to keep an eye on it for at least a month, judging from the known news like now, it could only be said to be a blind guess, "But I can give it a try now." ”
Mo Ghost's gaze fell on the weeds around the snake cave, which were usually clean and clean.
This rattlesnake in the Demon Beast Forest, I don't know what its habits are, and its favorite places to live can be seen at a glance, whether it is in the cave or at the entrance of the cave, as long as the spirit grass grows, it will be cleaned up immediately, but now it is overgrown with weeds.
"It's not that we didn't encounter a rattlesnake, it's that it didn't come out at all. ”
"Is it possible that it went out and wasn't in the cave at all?" The most in the Demon Beast Forest is this kind of weed, which can be found in every corner, and as November approaches, a small part of the weeds begin to turn yellow, so it is even more inconspicuous, which is why she is so concerned.
"Just look at it. "Mo Ghost Ghost sat cross-legged on the ground," help me look around. ”
The weaker the vitality of the plant, the less easy it is to attach the entire divine soul to it, and now in this season, it is better to use only the divine sense, the snake cave is not far from here.
Skillfully attached his divine sense to a spiritual grass around him, slowly extending outward, approaching the snake cave little by little, and when he reached the spiritual grass at the entrance of the cave, he slowed down for a while, and only continued to look inside when he was sure that the rattlesnake had not found it.
As soon as I entered the entrance of the cave, I saw that the stones in the passage were covered with moss, and it was very damp, and there was no sound in the cave.
Mo Ghost had never had a chance to investigate this place before, and he didn't know how deep the cave was, so he could only try to look inside with the help of spirit grass, and gradually seemed to hear a wheezing sound, and the more he went inside, the more obvious the sound became.
Finally, the shadow of the rattlesnake was seen in the divine consciousness of the Mo ghost.
I saw it curled up in a ball, lying in the deepest part, its eyes closed, breathing regularly, and the snake's body floated and floated, and it was obvious that I could feel its weakness at this time.
Is it hurt?
Mo Ghost thought subconsciously, but quickly denied this speculation.
Impossible, if it is really seriously injured so much, how can there be no movement at all? Even if Mo Ghost and a few people may not know, but the surrounding high-level demon beasts will not, how can they let it stay here with peace of mind when they know that it is injured, and they will be sorry for the name of the high-level demon beasts if they don't make some small movements.
It's been more than five years since the battle with the Golden Python, and it can't be because of that injury, is it a problem left over from the inheritance bloodline?
Just when Mo Ghost was puzzled, the rattlesnake lying there moved, its tail seemed to hover for too long, gently raised and lowered, just for a moment, but it was enough for her to see what was under the rattlesnake.
It was clearly a few fist-sized, oval-shaped white snake eggs!
Without waiting for Mo Ghost to take a closer look at how many snake eggs there were, he noticed that Shen Kongming had woken up, and at this moment of distraction, his divine consciousness returned to his body and opened his eyes suddenly.
"Why are you back?" Shen Kongming looked at the meditating Mo Ghost and rubbed his eyes.
Seeing that she seemed to be thinking something, Qin Yifan replied to Shen Kongming, "Have you entered the snake cave?"
"See," Mo Ghost nodded lightly with a subtle look in his eyes.
"I'll just say, this rattlesnake is still quite honest, people just want to cultivate quietly, it's you who are worried!" Qin Yifan said reassuringly when he heard that the rattlesnake really didn't come out.
"Heh," Mo Ghost pursed the corners of his mouth, "It's quite honest, because it hatches snake eggs in the cave!"
"It's incubating snake eggs, I said, why do you keep ······?" Qin Yifan closed his mouth halfway through speaking, and suddenly stared at Mo Ghost with wide eyes, "Laying eggs, laying eggs, where did it come from, the male snake demon beast!"
"That's right, are you wrong? The only male snake demon beast in the past ten years is the golden python it killed, how can it lay eggs now?" Shen Kongming's face was full of disbelief.
"No, it's not just it," Mo Ghost shook his head, "Thirty years ago, there was a sixth-order rattlesnake in the Demon Beast Forest, male, but according to the news on our jade slip, it was killed by two golden pythons. ”
"Don't tell me this rattlesnake is because of ······" Shen Kongming spread his hands, the expression on his face distorted.
"Rattlesnakes can store sperm in their bodies for up to fifty years, and there is nothing impossible to choose the right time for fertilization," Mo Ghost shook his head, the only conclusion she could come to.
"Huh?" Qin Yifan opened his mouth wide, "You said she deliberately chose to absorb the bloodline before laying eggs?"
"I said a long time ago, this rattlesnake has great ambitions, it will not easily coexist peacefully with the red eagle, and will definitely find an opportunity to do it, but it has not moved all these years, and it is waiting here!"
It must have taken advantage of the past few years to completely absorb the bloodline, first, it can shape itself into a harmless appearance, and secondly, it will raise its own bloodline level.
At this time, if the snake eggs are laid, no matter how many baby snakes are hatched, it must be higher than its original bloodline level. Once these little snakes grow, probably decades from now, Red Eagle will definitely not be its opponent!
Without the intervention of the Shapeshifting Demon, there may not be a demon beast in the entire Demon Beast Forest that can stop it, and it is simply the leader of the next rising beast tide.
Shen Kongming quickly thought of what was at stake, "What are we going to do now?"
Mo Ghost waved his hand, "Let me think about it." ”
Now it is nothing more than two ways, one is to press this news, and several of them will sneak attack together while the rattlesnake is weak, but the strength is on par with the rattlesnake, and it is not certain whether the snake eggs can be preserved completely, after all, with the scheming of this snake, even if it is destroyed, they will not be allowed to get it.
The second is to report to the sect, and the sect will send people to try their best to get snake eggs, and the probability of success is sixty percent, but in this way, the benefits they can get are uncertain, and the snake eggs may not belong to themselves.
Saying these two thoughts one by one, Mo Ghost asked the two for their opinions.
"There is another problem, if we want to sneak attack the rattlesnake, we need to carefully arrange it, so that we can make a strategy to separate the other high-level demon beasts around us, so as to ensure that we can retreat after the sneak attack, but we don't have this time, and the Xiaoyao disciples will arrive in Shaking Light City before December at the latest. Shen Kongming said.
"That's right, if you want to do it, time is short, and you have to avoid the secret guards stationed in Beiling City. Mo Ghost nodded, but since she proposed it, there was naturally room for maneuvering.
"Then let the sect come, and let's share some interests. Qin Yifan said nonchalantly.
"The rattlesnake has inherited the bloodline of the dragon, and the offspring are likely to mutate, making the bloodline more refined, if it can be raised, it is also a good help, are you sure you want to let go?"
"Anyway, I don't want it, look at this rattlesnake, it's so treacherous, what if you inherit its heart and can't raise it?" Qin Yifan shook his head.
"I don't need it either, I dislike that raising a spirit beast is too troublesome, otherwise I would have gotten one a long time ago!" Shen Kongming also shook his head in disgust, with the power behind him, it was still easy to get a spirit beast, but he never wanted to raise it.
"Then let's go back and ask Zhen Hao and Huo Zijun," Mo Ghost got up helplessly, the sixth-order snake egg with the dragon bloodline rattlesnake is still in the weak period after the rattlesnake has just laid eggs, if this news is released, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the head of the robbery will break the blood flow, why is everyone disgusted here?
"Let's go, let's do it as soon as possible, if they want to. Shen Kongming also stood up, "But Huo Zijun shouldn't want this kind of spirit beast." ”
Huo Zijun Lei Linggen, the style has always been wide open and closed, he has always disliked this kind of snake demon beast, with his stubborn temper, don't say it is the sixth order, even if the seventh order is placed here, it may not be wanted.
"But Zhen Hao is not necessarily. Qin Yifan put away the formation, and a few people walked back.
Among the few people, only the force behind Zhen Hao is the weakest, although Ning Hongxian Zhenjun is also very good to him, the only apprentice, but he will not keep asking for things from his master, let alone the cherished spirit beast.
The rattlesnake is of good quality, not to mention that it was raised from a young age, and it would be a good help if it could be obtained.
The three of them hurried and hurried, and finally returned to Beiling City before dark, as soon as they arrived at the station, Qin Yifan found an excuse to pull Zhen Hao over and whispered about it, but unexpectedly, Zhen Hao also gave up.
"I don't want this. Zhen Hao shook his head firmly.
"Why? Don't be afraid of trouble, as long as you plan well, it's easy to steal a snake egg for you. Qin Yifan was worried that he was afraid of affecting a few people, so he hurriedly comforted.
"It's true that part of this reason," Zhen Hao has been traveling all year round, and his face is not as fair as that of an ordinary monk, and even a little dark, "You listen to me," he stopped Qin Yifan's next words, "but it's not all because of this." ”
"Rattlesnakes are good, but they don't match me, and that's one of them. Second, even if the snake egg is retrieved, it is not certain whether it can hatch successfully, even if it is successful, its bloodline cannot be guaranteed, and the newborn baby snake does not have much help, I need to raise it to adulthood, which I don't know how many spirit stones will be put into it. ”
"Let you take such a big risk for me, to get a snake egg full of unknowns, I don't think it's worth it, there is a spirit stone to raise it, I can keep it myself, the natal spirit treasure has just some signs, and I have to slowly collect materials." ”
Zhen Hao is silent on weekdays and rarely says so many things, and Qin Yifan only realized at this time that he actually understood everything, but he just didn't say it.
"Go tell the ghosts, report the news to the sect, snatch the snake eggs under the nose of the sixth-order demon, we are still too weak, but we can use this to ask the sect for something. Zhen Hao patted Qin Yifan's shoulder.
When the two walked out side by side, Mo Ghost looked at Qin Yifan's bitter face, and already knew the result.
Zhen Hao is a person with a simple appearance, but he is the most knowledgeable of the few people, and before he entered the leisure, he can be regarded as having tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, but it is rare that he has not lost his heart, and he knows the world but not the world.
At the beginning, after the exchange meeting of the disciples of various sects, there were miscellaneous disciples from the outer sect who criticized it, saying that he borrowed the east wind of several immortal second generations.
But the actual situation is very clear to them, everything Zhen Hao has obtained by himself, and even deliberately avoids the help of a few people, and does not owe anyone anything, it is not surprising that he can make this decision today.
"You've decided?" Mo Ghost stared at Zhen Hao and asked again.
"Well," Zhen Hao's face was calm, and he couldn't be more sure, "If it's a spirit beast that suits me today, I'm definitely not welcome, but it's not worth taking such a big risk." ”
"Okay, I can use this news to change a priority for you, and when there is a suitable spirit beast in the sect, the first one will be left for you!" Mo Ghost nodded and looked at him with a smile.
