Chapter 155: Collecting the "Horned Viper" (text)
Dozens of different kinds of beasts rushed into the valley, and on both sides of the cliff, there were many reptilian insects and beasts crawling into the valley from various cliff caves and huge rocks, all rushing frantically towards the sources that emitted a smell similar to ambergris.
The source of that fragrance is naturally the entrance of the fist snake cave next to the rhizome of the ink viper vine. A strange massacre that looks extremely unreal unfolds in this valley.
More than 10,000 jet-black triangular head monster snakes shot out from each rhizome, biting the beasts and insect beasts below, and began a crazy blood predation!
The triangular head snake seemed to be small, but it was extremely powerful and venomous. A bison was bitten by a dozen strange snakes, and in the blink of an eye, it was devoured by the strange snakes, leaving a pile of dry bones and a cowhide.
Dozens of beasts and more than a hundred insects and beasts were devoured by these more than 10,000 triangular-headed monster snakes with a length of more than 10,000 feet in the blink of an eye.
After devouring the food, the strange snake swam back into the cave with a swish, revealing a triangular monster head, spitting out a letter faintly, and raising its head to Wu Yan in the air, as if it had discovered his existence.
After the shock, Wu Yan was left with only surprises.
The cave is next to the Ink Viper vine, the strength is very fast, the toxicity is violent, the adult body is a foot long, and after sucking the Ink Viper vine dry, it will change to suck the essence and blood of living creatures...... The signs of this kind all show that this triangular-headed monster snake is the rumored ink viper that is the associated poisonous insect of the ink viper vine. There are seven species of vipers, and they can be distinguished by the color of their scales, the shape of their heads, and the smell of saliva they spit on.
The lowest level of the ink viper, the head of the snake is like an eel, the scales are light gray, the toxicity is general, this kind of ink viper is also called "eel head ink viper", is a more common kind of ink viper. This is followed by the slightly darker scales and a flattened fan-like head of the ciper, which is called the "fan-headed civet", followed by the "square-headed civet", "the nail-headed civet", "the butterfly-headed civet", the "horn-headed civet" and the "dragon-headed civet".
This group of triangular-headed ink vipers is the "horn-headed ink viper". Although the scent of ambergris is very close to ambergris, it is not really "ambergris". (The ambergris referred to here is naturally not the same thing as the ordinary medicine ambergris in the world.) )
The real "ambergris" is the ambergris spit out by the adult "dragon viper", and it is an extremely precious high-grade alchemy material, and it is said that a drop is worth thousands of spirit stones.
Wu Yan never imagined that these ink viper vines arranged in order to use the terrain to kill and chase the enemy that day would actually raise so many six-grade "horned vipers" in four years.
Don't underestimate these "horned vipers". In fact, although the classification of the species of the ink viper is distinguished by the shape of their head, the color of the scales and the scent of snake saliva in the shape of the snake's head, the growth of the ink viper belongs to the typical natural law of mutual growth and restraint. As long as the adult "eel-headed ink viper" can swallow a certain amount of the poison of the citer vine, it will evolve into the "fan-headed ink viper", and if the "fan-headed ink viper" can continue to devour a certain amount of the poison of the citer vine, it can evolve into the "square-headed ink viper...... The evolution of the Ink Viper is like this. Don't underestimate this devouring and think it's easy.
The laws of nature are so life-changing and endless. The poison of the ciperfish is so severe that ordinary people will be poisoned to death even if they smell a little of their ambergris, but the sap produced in the rhizomes and canes of the cicadia and the powder made from the withered vines of the ciperus are the medicine to remove the venom of the civeter. And vice versa, the poison of the ink viper vine can only be lifted by the saliva of the ink viper.
Therefore, the ciper is naturally afraid of the poison of the viper vine, but it prefers to build a cave where the vine grows. Usually there are only four vines in a cave that can grow to adulthood, which is related to the fact that only four cane stems grow on one old root of the vine.
Because, usually, an adult "eel-headed ink viper" can evolve into a "horn-headed ink viper" as long as it can swallow the essence sap on the vine stem of a ciper. The appearance of a "horn-headed ink viper" means that the essence of the ink viper vine next to their cave has been sucked up and turned into a dead vine waste.
Seeing that such a large area of the Ink Viper vine forest has all turned into a withered vine forest, it is conceivable how these more than 10,000 "horned vipers" came about.
Once the "horned viper" loses the nourishment of the poison of the cicadus vine and is unwilling to leave the cave, it will make this kind of aroma that releases ambergris incense, attracting nearby beasts and insects to come here for them to smoke.
After the "horned viper" absorbs enough blood from a living creature, the four "horned vipers" in a cave will begin to bite and devour each other in preparation for the evolution of the "dragon viper".
The ink viper is also a relatively common poisonous insect in the world of cultivating immortals, while the "dragon viper" is defined as a demon insect in the world of cultivating immortals, which is a variety that can be cultivated naturally, and then give birth to a demon pill and grow into a demon spirit and fairy species.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a "dragon viper" in the great wilderness to form a saint, and it shook the ancients, and later after flying to the upper realm, it was respected as the "Black Dragon Emperor". This legend is not absurd, but it is true. It is among the current demon cultivation exercises, and the "Dragon Viper Devouring Spirit Skill" that has been circulated is derived from this.
The very faint mental sense that I just sensed came from these "horned vipers". This group of "horned vipers" only evolved successfully after devouring all the essence poison of the ink viper vine, and in the venom essence of the ink viper vine, there is Wu Yan's essence and blood qi, so they will naturally have this kind of induction.
Seeing so many "horned vipers", Wu Yan naturally would not let them fend for themselves here. He stood in the void on the Mo Lin Sword, and after pondering for a moment, he had a plan.
Wu Yan patted the storage bag and took out more than a dozen black withered stems the size of a finger, these withered stems were naturally the withered stems left by the ink viper vine after he used to use the winding before, and he had no intention of putting these things away at the beginning, in case he was poisoned by the ink viper in the future, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.
These withered stems are different from the withered vines of the ink viper vines on the rock wall, those are the withered vines that have completely devoid of any of the scent of the ink viper, and these withered vines are condensed by the essence of the poison of the ink viper, and they are the things that the ink viper fears and loves.
Wu Yan took out another row of storage bags and took out the spirit worm gourd. Wu Yan didn't hesitate to pinch the gourd control technique, and the spirit worm gourd rose to a height of more than a zhang in a moment under the urging of the mana and magic trick in his palm, and the void floated in front of Wu Yan.
Wu Yan carefully ground the dozen or so black black vine dead stems into powder and poured them into the spirit insect gourd that was more than a zhang high. While he was doing these things, the more than 10,000 "horned vipers" below were extremely sensitive and sensed the poisonous breath of the ink viper vine, and they were about to move in the valley below. The dead vines and vines in the valley below, under the shaking of those restless "horned vipers", danced to the sky one after another, pointing at Wu Yan in the sky one by one, as if there were 10,000 big snakes several feet long raising their heads and spitting letters, eager to shoot to the sky, the situation was extremely strange and terrifying.
Moreover, there are really many "horned vipers" who take the opportunity to fly to Wu Yan in the sky from the top of the cane, with great strength, and with the tenacity of the cane.
It's a pity that these little snakes can't fly, although they can shoot a distance of more than ten zhang high, but they are still far from Wu Yan's hundred-zhang high Molin Sword.
Wu Yan didn't care about the crazy fluttering of those "horned vipers", and only concentrated on fiddling with the ink viper vine poison powder in the spirit worm gourd.
After a few moments, the sacrifice was almost over, Wu Yan looked at the "horned viper" below that was still flying into the air, and then threw the huge spirit worm gourd more than a zhang high in front of him to the valley below.
The spirit worm gourd fell with its mouth downwards and its bottom upwards, and Wu Yan's sword followed closely behind. In a moment, the gourd fell into the air a few feet away from the dead vines that rose to the sky, and the void stopped there.
"Bang bang bang!"
A sound like a crash on a drum came from the mouth of the gourd. Wu Yan stood on the Molin Sword, stopped at a height of more than twenty zhang, and looked at the "horned vipers" who kept rushing towards the mouth of the spirit insect gourd.
The mouth prohibition method of the spirit worm gourd has not yet been opened, and these "horned vipers" naturally can't rush in, so they can only keep pounce on it and crash into the barrier formed by the gourd mouth prohibition method.
Wu Yan hit the spirit worm gourd with a spell, and the forbidden method at the mouth of the gourd opened a small opening.
"Hiss ......"
It was like a long whale sucking water, and those "horned vipers" didn't need to be summoned by him, and they all flew to the mouth of the spirit worm gourd.
Half an hour passed, and there was no more "horned viper" flying below, Wu Yan did not immediately put away the spirit worm gourd, but sealed the forbidden method of the gourd mouth, and then unfolded his divine sense, carefully scanning the entire valley several times.
After making sure that there was no more "horned viper" below, Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled and reached out to the spirit worm gourd. The Spirit Worm Gourd quickly shrank to the size of a fist, and then fell into his palm.
The divine sense invaded the spirit insect gourd, and in a green shimmer, Wu Yan's divine sense saw that those "horned vipers" were constantly swimming and devouring the ink viper vine poison powder floating in the green qi space of the spirit insect gourd. Wu Yan's divine sense swept over, and all the "horned vipers" paused, and they raised their heads and spat out their letters as if they were a little puzzled.
After thinking about it, Wu Yan suddenly bit the root of his tongue and squirted out a large mouthful of essence blood, and then made a trick with his other hand, condensing the mass of essence blood into a blood line, and with a finger, the blood line turned into essence blood swished down the mouth of the spirit insect gourd into the gourd, floating in the green space of the spirit insect gourd.
The essence blood that entered the green qi space quickly fused with the green qi inside, and the more than 10,000 "horned vipers" who were originally vomiting blood with their heads held high, after being stunned for a while, all frantically devoured those green qi that fused with Wu Yan's essence and blood.
Wu Yan smiled at this time, and blocked the special spirit wood stopper of the spirit worm gourd on the mouth of the gourd. Putting away the spirit worm gourd, and looking at the ink viper vine below that had completely withered, Wu Yan suddenly shot out several innate true fires and landed in the ink viper vine withered vine forest. In a moment, a fire broke out in the withered vine forest, along with the dry bones below, and the flames burst out in an instant.
After doing this, Wu Yan was satisfied with the sword and left, and quickly flew away towards Jinji Ridge.
