Chapter 103: Snake Pond

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Nanxuan Marsh is located in a lowland between Quwu Mountain and Yuancheng Mountain, which was supposed to be the best passage from Chenyu County to Xixian Tanxi County, but because the mountain springs and streams on Quwu Mountain and Yuancheng Mountain poured into this depression, forming a swamp that separates the two places.

Nanxuan swamp is full of dangers, in addition to the quagmire hidden in the swamp that may swallow people at any time, this is also a paradise for mud snakes to live, in the muddy water of the swamp hidden many highly poisonous mud snakes, from which may burst out at any time to kill people.

In addition to these, there are also some outlaws hidden in the Nanxuan swamp, these people either committed murders in Yu County, or in Xi County, and had to hide in the swamp after being chased and killed.

However, before coming to the Nanxuan Swamp, Yang Junshan also had some monks from Fangshi Town organized to venture into the swamp, trying to cross into the territory of Tanxi County, most of these people were carrying many packages, they should be some merchants, they took advantage of this to avoid the tax card set up by the Shaking Heaven Sect on other passages, and transported the production of Fangshi Town to Tanxi County, and then exchanged it from Tanxi County for the things that Fangshi Town urgently needed.

A cold light flashed from Yang Junshan's side, and a thin snake with the thickness of his finger that suddenly burst out of the mire was cut into two pieces by him with the horizontal knife in his hand, falling into the sludge and twisting back and forth, splashing pieces of muddy water, don't look at this thin snake is short, but the strength is full.

Unlike those ordinary monks who need to stick a long wooden stick in front of them when crossing the swamp to prevent them from falling into the quagmire, Yang Junshan is familiar with this Nanxuan swamp, he can clearly distinguish whether it is a road or a trap under the muddy water, although he still can't walk on the ground, but at least the other people who enter the swamp walk much faster.

The horizontal knife in Yang Junshan's hand is a weapon that Han Xiusheng usually uses, although it is not a magic weapon, but it is also made of refined steel, and the quality is very good.

In addition, Yang Junshan's seven-stone bow was also straddled on his shoulders, and there was a pot full of rune arrows on his back, although this seven-stone iron-tired bow was still soft for the current Yang Junshan, but what he needed at this time was not the power of the bow itself, but the power of the rune arrows comparable to spells and the range of distant spells.

The quagmire is usually in the quagmire where the mud snake gathers, and the quagmire where the mud snake gathers in large numbers is often the place where the aura gathers, and the quagmire here has been inhabited by the mud snake for a long time, and under the continuous whipping of the snake body, there will be a part of the muddy water mixed with the aura and the surface body fluid of the mud snake to turn into the spiritual material sky glaze mud.

The quality of the glazed mud itself is not necessarily the lower grade of the law level, with the different colors of the glazed mud itself, the glazed mud can also be divided into upper, middle and lower grades, of which the cyan glazed mud is the lowest quality and the most common low-grade spiritual material, and it is also the target of Yang Junshan's entry into the swamp; if the color of the glazed mud becomes red, then its quality will rise to the middle grade of the magic material; and if it turns into light yellow, it is the high-grade spiritual material of the law level that can be used to refine the high-grade magic weapon.

Therefore, the place where the heavenly glaze mud is most likely to exist in the swamp must be the place where the mud snakes gather the most densely, and what Yang Junshan is going to this time is a snake pond in his memory in his previous life.

The horizontal knife was like a finger in his hand, and the mud snakes that jumped up from the quagmire around him, regardless of size, were all cut into two sections by Yang Junshan with a knife, but some mud snakes have been lurking on the road that Yang Junshan passed, until the moment he stepped down, he suddenly stretched out the snake's head and bit it towards the calf or foot, but then he was shocked by the kick he stepped on and the bones were crisped off.

Although Yang Junshan did not engrave the Earth Shaking Technique as a natal spell on the immortal root as a natal spell, he was able to cultivate ordinary spells after advancing to the fifth level, and the Earth Shaking Technique and the Flying Sand Technique, the two spells handed down by the Yang family, naturally had no reason not to cultivate.

Although he hadn't successfully cultivated the Earth Shaking Technique in a short period of time, it wasn't difficult to use it to stun one or two mud snakes to death.

However, the scene that soon appeared in front of him made Yang Junshan a little surprised, Yang Junshan in his previous life learned a lot as a casual cultivator, including the art of tracking, although the muddy water in this swamp will gradually cover the traces of people's walking, but the footprints in front of him have not had time to be soaked in muddy water.

Judging from Yang Junshan's experience, the traces left on the ground should be two groups of people walking before and after, the path of the first group of people is roughly the same as the direction that Yang Junshan came from, and it should also come from Fangshi Town;

However, what made Yang Junshan curious was not that the paths of these two groups of people went in the same direction after the intersection of this place, but that the later group of people was obviously following the group of people in front of them.

Ha, could it be that you let yourself run into the black and black of the outlaw monks in the swamp?

However, Yang Junshan obviously had no interest in intervening in it, but after following this path for a while, Yang Junshan still showed that the reason why the latter group of people were able to track the back of the previous group of people was not because they also had tracking masters like Yang Junshan, but because the former group of people should have the internal response of the latter group of people, leaving extremely secret marks on the road.

On the rocks that were occasionally exposed in the swamp, Yang Junshan picked up a piece of sludge from it, and pulled out a broken rune stone the size of a fingernail from it, which should be a trace stone, usually used by monks to prevent getting lost, it should be the former group of people someone secretly placed the rune stone in the sludge as a mark for the latter group of people to follow.

However, the latter group of people may be dirty or other reasons, after walking along the mark, they did not pick up the trace stone in the mud, but directly stepped on it, but never thought that in the eyes of a tracking master like Yang Junshan, this is not an obvious mark.

After walking in this direction for a while, Yang Junshan turned to another direction, this place should be getting closer and closer to the snake pool, and the mud snakes attacking him along the way are also more and more, more and more frequent, and the mud snakes that come out of the mire are getting bigger and bigger, and they are becoming more and more fierce.

Gradually, there was a sound of "bang, crackling" in the distance, like a stream rushing down, the turbulent water "banging" sounded, and the water splashed on the river rocks to make a "crackling" sound.

As Yang Junshan walked deeper and deeper, the sound became louder and louder, until he cautiously walked behind a boulder in the swamp, slowly leaned out from behind the boulder, and looked at the scene in front of him.

Although it was not the first time Yang Junshan had seen Snake Pond, he still had a feeling of numbness in his scalp whenever he saw it again.

Dense mud snakes are crowded in the quagmire of a hundred zhang in a radius of hundreds of feet, these mud snakes are entangled, swimming, whipping, playing, fighting in the pool, bustling, there are countless mud flowers all the time with the shaking of the mud snake's body and splashing from the quagmire to the air, and then "lala" falling, this is the sound that Yang Junshan just heard as if the turbulent water rushed.

Yang Junshan was quite frightened and bent down and walked slowly along the periphery of the quagmire, for fear that he would accidentally alarm the tens of thousands of mud snakes in the quagmire, with his current strength, if he was chased and killed by tens of thousands of mud snakes, I am afraid that there would not even be scum left at that time.

Among the mud snakes, there are big and small, the big feet are the thickness of people's arms, one or two zhang long, and the mud splashed by the snake's body with huge force falls directly outside the mud, and Yang Junshan is swimming along the mud, carefully checking the mud that splashes out, to see if it contains dots of heavenly glazed mud.

Before Yang Junshan didn't have the strength to exterminate this entire pool of tens of thousands or even more mud snakes, this kind of bitter forcing method that accumulated into a lot was the fastest way to collect Heavenly Glazed Mud, unless he could have the luck against the sky and just find a piece of Heavenly Glazed Mud, which was a sufficient amount in this swamp.

Whoa......

A puddle of muddy water fell from the sky, splashing Yang Junshan's face all over his head, but not only did he not care about dodging, but he couldn't even care about wiping off the mud on his body, because Yang Junshan saw a ball of cyan mud falling on the ground and splashing around, and hurriedly walked over to take a look, there was really a lot of heavenly glazed muddy water in this muddy water.

Yang Junshan hurriedly collected the cyan water into a gourd he carried with him, and then he also needed to precipitate, filter, and purify the muddy water, and then the rest was the low-grade spiritual material Heavenly Glaze Clay that could be used for refining.

A mud snake suddenly burst out of the quagmire, and Yang Junshan, who was always nervous, flew over with an arrow, and the horizontal knife in his hand flashed, and the head of the snake was directly cut off with a "poof".

In this process, Yang Junshan did not dare to use spells, did not dare to inject the slightest spiritual power into the weapon, and could only rely on the agility and strength of the physical body to complete it.

The mud snake is extremely sensitive to aura, once Yang Junshan uses the spiritual power in his body to cause aura turmoil, it is possible to attract dozens or even hundreds of mud snakes to come out of the pool at any time next to this quagmire, and if he does not kill the mud snake in time, then more companions will be summoned by the mud snake soon.

In the quagmire of a hundred zhang square, Yang Junshan walked down cautiously and spent an hour, killing more than ten large and small mud snakes, and the collected heavenly glaze muddy water only filled one-tenth of the big gourd.

After resting for a while, Yang Junshan began to walk around the quagmire for the second time, and just halfway through, just when Yang Junshan was collecting a ball of heavenly glazed muddy water that happened to splash out, suddenly three or four mud snakes that were entangled together tumbled out of the quagmire, and at the moment they landed, several mud snakes were suddenly broken away.

Yang Junshan didn't look good, he couldn't even take care of the heavenly glaze muddy water, rushed over and flashed a few knife lights one after another, killing the four arm-thick mud snakes, but at this time, the hairs behind Yang Junshan suddenly exploded, and someone attacked from behind!

Yang Junshan didn't care about the mud on the ground, and a roll avoided a cold wind blowing from behind, and when he raised his eyes, Yang Junshan suddenly gasped, and didn't want to turn around and run away!

A giant mud snake with the thickness of a person's calf and a length of about three zhang did not know when it appeared in the place where he had just collected the glazed muddy water, and the cold wind just now was obviously this muddy water swept Yang Junshan with a snake tail, at this time, Yang Junshan actually escaped, the snake letter in the mouth of the giant snake spit back and forth "sizzling" sound, not far away in the quagmire The noisy "crackling" sound suddenly paused, and then a wave of snakes suddenly gushed out of the quagmire, chasing in the direction of Yang Junshan's escape.
