Chapter Seventy-Three: The Snake (2nd Watch)
In this way, in the cheering sound of the small stones, Shen Ci collected the flames all the way and continued to climb the mountain with difficulty all the way.
In this secret realm, the passage of time seems to be much slower.
Shen Ci felt that several days had passed, but the sun in the sky was still hanging high.
Gradually, Shen Ci couldn't tell how much time had passed.
There were already twenty-five flames she had received, and she was getting closer and closer to the crater at the top of the mountain!
However, now this high level of heaven and earth pressure has reached an extremely terrifying level.
Shen Ci can't even stand anymore, he's really "climbing the mountain"!
Lie on the cold, rough stone steps with your hands and feet, and climb the mountain with all your strength!
Looking up, the end of the stone steps seemed to be not far away, but Shen Ci really couldn't muster the strength to continue! Sweat had already soaked her clothes and hair.
Although there are still a lot of spiritual liquids in the sword box that can quickly restore spiritual power, those should be reserved for the next secret realm to use. Compete with everyone, and you will need the spirit liquid!
After hesitating for a while, Shen Ci still took out a bottle of clear spirit liquid.
There's no way, if you don't have a bottle, it's really unsustainable.
Feeling the warm medicinal power quickly dissolve in the body, every aching muscle in the body seemed to let out a cheerful cry.
Shen Ci let out a comfortable sigh, lying on the stone steps and not wanting to move.
However, perhaps it was the recovery of mana that made Shen Ci's six senses more sensitive again, and she seemed to hear a very slight sound not far ahead.
"Dumbfounded", it seems that something is rubbing.
With curiosity and vigilance, he climbed a few more steps, and Shen Ci discovered the source of the sound.
It's a little black snake!
Shen Ci was now staring at this little black snake with big eyes.
"Hey, hello, little one!"
After climbing the mountain for so long, it was rare to see a living thing other than himself, and Shen Ci said hello happily.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Shen Ci felt that in the dark green triangular eyes of the little black snake, she actually saw a trace of a speechless expression??
γγγγγγ Is it because my lying position is too ugly?
Vigorously climbed two more steps, and while the mana in his body was still abundant, Shen Ci forcibly changed the lying position to a sitting oneγγγγγγ
In this process, the little black snake watched Shen Ci's movements motionlessly.
Shen Ci also didn't find out the reason why the little black snake had not moved until he sat down.
It was crushed by a large rock, revealing only a small half of its body and a tail as long as a little finger, and it was completely unable to move.
"Ah, poor little fellow, you are being held down. Do you need me to save you?" Shen Ci said to himself.
She was just too bored, too boring, but she didn't expect that this little black snake could really understand her words!
Shen Ci found out this time that it was not his own delusion.
She clearly saw hesitation in the eyes of the little black snake, and then quickly moved her little head and nodded!
"You can really understand what I say!" Shen Ci said happily, "Okay, let me rescue you." β
Shen Ci was about to move the stone away, but Xiao Shi shouted: "Wait! Don't save him!"
"Why?" asked Shen Ci with a frown.
"You don't want to know what kind of place this is!" said Xiao Shi, "The pressure of heaven and earth at this height is already very strong, don't you think it's strange that this snake can actually climb here?"
"It's kind of weird. However, it needs someone to save it!" Shen Ci said hesitantly.
The deformed body of the little black snake where it was pressed by the big stone, as well as the dried blood stains on the ground, all moved Shen Ci's compassion.
"Don't be stupid! this is a snake! Snakes are cunning and cunning!" said Little Stone.
"What's wrong with the snake. Looking at the anticipation in the little black snake's eyes, Shen Ci said, "I don't think it will harm me, right?"
The little black snake nodded again.
Shen Ci no longer hesitated, and lifted the big stone with his hands.
It became difficult to move stones at this height, but fortunately, Shen Ci only moved it a little, and the little black snake got out flexibly.
"Okay, you're saved!" Shen Ci threw down the stone and laughed.
The little black snake shook its head and writhed its body, looking very cheerful.
"Let's go home. Looking at the happy little black snake, Shen Ci said with a smile.
The little black snake stopped when he heard this, swam in front of Shen Ci, stretched out the red letter, and spat out words!
"Thank you!"
Just two words, Shen Ci couldn't help but be surprised: "You can actually speak?!"
"Of course. There was a hint of pride in the little black snake's tone, "You feel more comfortable talking to you in human form, right?"
Then, a thick white mist inexplicably rose from the little black snake's body. After the white mist dissipated, there was no longer a little black snake on the stone steps, but an extra young man in Xuanyi sitting cross-legged!
His black robe was embroidered with coiled golden snake patterns, and his head wore a crown of purple gold and jade-inlaid hair. His facial features are deep, his dark green eyes are sharp, and there is a mysterious red ornament in the middle of his eyebrows, which adds a touch of bewitching aura to his handsome face.
"You are the second person I have met in thousands of years who is willing to save me. The young man in Xuanyi lightly opened his thin lips and evoked a faint smile. There is an inexplicable heavy sense of vicissitudes in the words.
"Ten million years, have you lived for so long?" asked Shen Ci.
The young man in Xuanyi avoided answering, and asked rhetorically: "Just like that machine spirit said, the snake is cunning and ruthless, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"
Shen Ci replied truthfully: "I will be a little worried." However, you promised that you wouldn't hurt me. I want to believe you. β
"Alas?!" Shen Ci reacted consciously, "You can even hear the words of the little stone?"
"Little stone, the name of the machine spirit?" asked the young man in Xuanyi.
"yes. Shen Ci said.
"Of course I hear it. If you live longer, you will know more. The young man in Xuanyi said lightly. His eyes seemed to pass through Shen Ci and saw the small stones in the dantian.
Little Stone's voice shouting "Old Youkai!" stopped abruptly as if it grabbed his throat to the north. Shen Ci clearly felt the trembling emotions transmitted by the small stone.
"Huh. The young man in Xuanyi chuckled, and his deep voice had a unique magnetism, "You really resemble that person." β
Shen Ci felt that the gaze he looked at him seemed to contain extremely complex emotions.
"Like whom, the first person to save you?" asked Shen Ci with a wink.
The smile in the eyes of the young man in Xuanyi didn't go: "Yes!
