The red sun is slanting to the west, and the sunset is shining in the sky.

"Brother Xu, the gravel ground in front of you is it!"

In the corner of the mountain range hundreds of miles long, Jing Fei on Xu Ming's back crawled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the mud and stone in front of him, his expression suddenly became much more cautious, and he whispered in his mouth.

Jing Fei didn't know that in the Valley of Thousand Snakes, which was rumored by the townspeople, he had only searched for some medicinal herbs with his grandfather in the outer part of the gravel ground where the flesh-horned snake was infested.

Two years ago, a little deeper in the muddy ground of the stone forest, Jing Fei witnessed a flesh-horned snake more than a foot long, easily killing an elk foraging for grass.

In recent years, although he has also been to the periphery of the gravel and mud field, he has never gone deeper.

"Stone Glade, this should be it!"

Looking in the direction that Jing Fei pointed out, Xu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, according to the information he had heard, the periphery of the mouth of the Thousand Snake Valley was a mixed area of stone and soil, since there were traces of the Flesh Horn Snake here, it was definitely not wrong.

"Let's go see!"

Xu Ming, who secretly had a fine bottom in his heart, took Jing Fei, his body spread, and swept to, this place is already located in the middle of the narrow mountain range, which is relatively close to Tongshan Town, and the horizontal distance is only more than 100 miles, but it is difficult to travel in the mountains, and Xu Ming's footsteps are also close at this time.

The gravel and mud floor is full of gray-white, yellow-brown colors, and there are occasional stone pillars, although the soil quality is not good, but the grass growing in it is extremely lush

After the meal, a tent was set up and erected.

"I'm going to look for one or two, and remember not to go out of the tent. ”

After sweeping into the gravel field for two or three miles, Xu Ming, who had never found a trace of the snake, no longer blindly explored, chose a rocky place, quickly set up a tent, sprinkled a circle of slightly pungent powder on the periphery, and then continued to sweep forward and go deeper.

Looking at Xu Ming's rapidly disappearing back, Jing Fei cautiously stayed at the mouth of the tent, the pungent powder around the tent was an excellent medicine to disperse snakes and insects, and was well known to Xu Ming as a monk in the world of "Ethereal Records" in the high martial plane.

Xu Ming asked Jing Fei to stay in the tent, so that Jing Fei would not cross the edge of the deworming powder.

"Click......

Xu Ming, who rushed forward for four or five miles, stopped his figure, and took out a fist-sized black clay pot from the burden on his back.

Subsequently, after taking several materials one by one and putting them into the clay pot, Xu Ming directly took out the fire fold and ignited the materials in the clay pot.

Different from the medicinal powder used to repel insects and snakes, the materials Xu Ming put into the clay pot were all dried grasses, flowers, and rhizomes, which were also the recipes that Xu Ming obtained from the high martial arts realm of "Ethereal Records", which could attract nearby snakes.

In the area where the horned snake often haunts, there are obviously no other kinds of snakes, after all, the horned snake is not taboo for foreign snakes.

"Hiss!"

In the gravel field, Xu Ming, who was hiding behind a rock pillar, quietly stared at the smoke-burning clay pot on a rock in the distance, seeing that the sky was getting darker, and secretly wondered whether to withdraw, Xu Ming, who would catch snakes again tomorrow, moved his ears, his eyes narrowed slightly, turned his head slightly, and looked away to the right front.

"It's a Horned Snake!"

After a while, a line of nearly two feet long and short appeared, sometimes looming from the tip of the grass, spitting out a crimson snake letter from time to time, and quickly approached.

Xu Ming knew that the snake shadow with a faint golden glow was the flesh-horned snake.

The meat horn snake, the head of the flesh horn, swallows the vitality of heaven and earth, its scales are faint and subtle, therefore, it is also called the meat horn snake, the speed is extremely fast, the toxicity is violent, there is the vitality of heaven and earth to moisten the body, and it is easy to evolve and mutate into a terrible beast.

"Hiss......"

Even if the flesh-horned snake outside the Valley of a Thousand Snakes is relatively weak, it can also fight tigers and wolves, which is extremely threatening.

In just a few breaths, the flesh-horned snake swam in front of the smoking clay pot, however, it did not immediately approach the clay pot, but in the direction of the stone pillar where Xu Ming was hiding, it stuck out its tongue again and again, and hissed, obviously, Xu Ming's hiding did not avoid its detection.

"It's a little spiritual!"

Looking at the flesh-horned snake that had not immediately pounced on the clay pot, Xu Ming, who walked out from behind the stone pillar, while exclaiming, holding the green snake dagger in his hand, proficient in the high-level martial book "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada", unfolded and pounced.

"Hiss!"

Sensing Xu Ming's rapid movement, the flesh-horned snake with its head raised also moved, hissing, like an arrow off the string, shooting and biting the creature that dared to provoke in front of it.

"Whew!", "Whew!"

Seeing the flesh-horned snake flashing like lightning, Xu Ming's eyes were bright, the green snake dagger flashed again and again, and the flesh-horned snake that had just approached was still in mid-air, and it was cut into several pieces by the sharp weapon green snake dagger.

"Kill elite lives and gain martial arts experience. ”

For the flesh-horned snake that has not yet stepped into the first-order fierce beast realm, Xu Ming, who is holding a sharp weapon green snake dagger, is not afraid, which is also Xu Ming's confidence to dare to drive straight into the area where the flesh-horned snake is active.

What excites Xu Ming is that the strength of the meat horned snake that can deter wolves and leopards has greatly increased the probability of being an elite life.

The only pity is that an elite meat horn snake does not provide much martial arts experience.

"Snake gall, and see how it works?"

Then, picking up Xu Ming, who had a severed body of the meat horn snake, whispered, didn't stay any longer, extinguished the smoke in the clay pot, and went straight back and forth.

The snake gall of the meat horn snake can assist in cultivation, which is the main purpose of Xu Ming's visit.

At this time, the sunset has completely set, and only the light remains, and at night, it is not suitable for hunting fierce beasts.

"Brother Xu, are you back?"

Hearing the movement outside, Jing Feifu raised his head, and through the tent with the tent rolled up, he saw Xu Ming who had returned, Jing Fei, who was not equipped with martial arts, could not detect Xu Ming's return in time.

Jing Fei, who had a cheerful face, just let out a cry of joy, and when he saw the upper half of the body of the meat horn snake that Xu Ming was holding in his hand, his expression changed sharply, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ah, it's a horned snake!"

Although the twelve or thirteen-year-old Jing Fei has been in the mountains and forests with his grandfather many times since he was a child, and he is not afraid of ordinary snakes, Jing Fei is quite clear about the strength of the meat horn snake and the rumors about it.

Therefore, as soon as he saw the body of the flesh-horned snake, he was suddenly shocked like a young child seeing a poisonous snake.

"Don't be afraid, it's dead. ”

Looking at Jing Fei, whose face was shocked, Xu Ming smiled and reassured, flipped his fingers, and easily took out a dark purple snake gall the size of a peanut from the fracture.

Then, with a slight throw, the carcass of the horned snake was thrown out of the tent.

"Brother Xu, you killed a meat horn snake?!"

When Xu Ming threw the corpse of the meat horn snake out of the tent, Jing Fei, who looked a little relaxed, was still shocked, originally thinking that Xu Ming had only come here to pick high-quality medicinal herbs, and this gravel land, although it was not fertile soil, there were really some good medicines in it.

But he never thought that Xu Ming didn't come for medicinal herbs, I was afraid that catching and killing the meat horn snake was the goal.

"Well, you eat some dry food, and I'll teach you how to cultivate later. ”

After nodding his head slightly, Xu Ming gave an instruction, and sat down cross-legged on a bunk in the tent.

Then, swallowing the gall of the dark purple flesh horn snake, Xu Ming directly carried the mid-level "Puhua Jue" merit that he had been familiar with for a long time.

Although "Bronze Body Gong" is also a middle-level low-grade martial art, and it can increase qi and defense at the same time, the cultivation progress of such a comprehensive body refining skill book is also extremely slow.

After thinking about it, before his strength was strong, Xu Ming was not ready to practice physical skills, so as not to affect the rapid progress of his strength.

"Buzz ......"

Not long after, with the operation of the "Puhua Jue" exercise, the snake gall bladder swallowed in the abdomen, and the trace of bile overflowing from its orifice gradually melted, deriving a warm energy and rising up.

Moistened by the warm energy, in a trance, Xu Ming only felt that the flesh and blood around his body seemed to be shallowly condensed, and the operation of the true qi in his body was also filled with strength.

However, after a week of operation, or because of the root bone qualification, or because of the snake gall of the meat horn snake, Xu Ming easily penetrated the sixth serious article, and since then he has stepped into the peak realm of the seventh grade.
