The Great Wild God - Chapter 216
Chapter 216 Charge into a Snake’s Acupoint
Chen Xun guessed that the Heavenly Yao would very likely use itself as bait to trigger the Heavenly Flame Flowing Fire, destroying the array set up by the various sects in that mountain range, so that the other demonic beasts would be able to slaughter the disciples of the various sects together.
However, the Heavenly Flame Flowing Fire was purely driven by Qi. The Giant Snake Heavenly Snake used itself as bait, and its cultivation was the strongest. It was absolutely impossible for it to escape the direct attack of the Heavenly Flame Flowing Fire. Even if it did not die, it would still suffer heavy injuries.
However, even if the Giant Snake Heavenly Yao was heavily injured by the Heavenly Flame Flowing Fire, there were still countless strange snakes waiting for them in that cave. The demonic fiends emitted from the underground river at the bottom of the cave were as dense as black mist. After they entered, they didn’t have any spiritual energy to borrow, and the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation wouldn’t be able to play a role in the slightest.
However, this was their only chance to enter the snake’s den.
It would still take a lot of effort to arrive at Snake Valley without being able to fly through the air.
Along the way, he didn’t encounter any ferocious demons. Chen Xun was even more convinced that the Giant Snake Heavenly Demon had deliberately ignited the Heavenly Flame Flowing Fire and attacked the defensive array deployed by the various sects. The demonic beasts in Tu Mountain were most likely gathered outside of Tu Mountain. This meant that the number of demonic snakes in the snake den would also be limited.
Chen Xun had no time to care about the lives of the disciples of the various sects. He thought to himself that the sects had five Origin Core Adepts guarding them, so it wasn’t as if they didn’t have the strength to fight back. He followed Chang Xi and walked into the Snake Valley.
A pungent stench overflowed from the mud. Chen Xun saw that the mud in the Snake Valley had turned purple-black. He didn’t know how many flesh and blood mixed together. He endured the disgust and walked to the entrance of the cave.
Before they could drill into the snake’s den, the demonic fiend that leaked out of the cave entrance made one’s heart freeze.
“How?” Chen Xun released the Six-Headed Giant Snake Puppet and asked Chang Xi in a low voice.
If this cave was the nest of the snake demon, there would definitely be a strange snake guarding it in the depths. The demonic fiend inside the snake’s den was several times denser than the outside. It was cold and bone-piercing. There was no spiritual energy to borrow, so the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation could not work. They could only rely on their own Spiritual Qi, Spiritual Essence, and medicinal pills. Once trapped in the depths of the snake’s den, it would be extremely dangerous.
Chang Xi frowned slightly. She was bold by nature, but that didn’t mean that she lacked eyes. She took out the Heavenly Mirror from her bag of holding and a dark green wooden sword that was filled with spring. She said to Chen Xun, “Fight as close as possible. The demonic fiend is too strong, and the Imperial Artifact is easy to be devoured …”
Before Chen Xun entered Tu Mountain, he had already prepared himself for close contact with the demon beast. Before separating from Lei Wanhe and the Yu sisters, he had even specially retrieved the Heavenly Jun Blazing Sun Shield from Lei Wanhe’s hand.
Apart from the Yun Chen armor that he was wearing, Chen Xun wore an extra Xuan Yang armor. He took out two more spirit armors and asked Chang Xi, “Do you want to wear one more?”
Chang Xi’s Spiritual Energy was ten times more refined than Chen Xun’s, but she didn’t dare to hold it up at this moment. She took a piece of soft armor and put it on her body. Then, she casually put the extra one into her bag of holding and said, “You’ve prepared quite a few good things this time, haven’t you?”
“What’s the difference between me and you, Big Boss?” Chen Xun smiled and generously took out a dozen bottles of pills. He could tell that although Chang Xi was blackmailing her everywhere, if she pasted more on the Cuihu Wei Disciple, she might not have as much privacy as him.
Chen Xun and Chang Xi stayed at the entrance of the snake cave for a moment, but they didn’t see any strange snakes attacking from the bottom of the cave. They felt that it was a little abnormal.
Demon Fiends could corrode the spiritual sense of a god’s soul. In the dense snake den of Demon Fiends, Chen Xun and Chang Xi’s spiritual senses were greatly limited. They could only sense a weak aura within a mile or two at most.
Under such an environment, Otherworldly Snakes and other magical creatures were exceptionally sensitive to the aura of living souls.
Chen Xun and Chang Xi didn’t delay entering the snake’s den and wanted to lure out the strange snakes in the snake’s den to kill them.
Chen Xun and Chang Xi wouldn’t give up halfway after a long time without moving. Holding their swords, they drilled into the snake cave. Not long after, they saw traces of intense fighting on the four walls of the cave. There were also many magical artifact fragments scattered on the ground. At this moment, a faint sound of fighting could be heard from the depths of the snake cave.
Chang Xi frowned and scolded, “I knew those two little bitches were unreliable.”
Chen Xun shrugged.
The Snake Valley was not much of a concealment. Other disciples who entered the depths of the Tu Mountain might discover this Snake Valley. However, just as the defensive formation deployed by the various sects on the outskirts of Mount Tu had been broken by the Heavenly Flame Flowing Fire, most of the people who were still in the mood to explore the Snake Valley were the same as them. They knew that the Snake Cave was the Heavenly Yao’s lair and had rushed over to take advantage of the flames to rob it.
Apart from Chang Xi, Lei Wanhe, and the Yu sisters, no one else knew that he had seen the Giant Snake Heavenly Demon in the depths of the snake den. Even if Lei Wanhe and the Yu sisters chased out the message, there was no need to reveal the location of Snake Valley to anyone else.
Unless Lei Wanhe and the Yu sisters intentionally told others about the location of Snake Valley.
Previously, Chang Xi had also sent Lei Wanhe and the Yu Clan’s sisters away before taking out the Jade Tiger Demon Pill to refine it. Chen Xun thought to himself that Chang Xi was not stupid in her heart. She did not completely trust the Yu Clan’s sisters and Lei Wanhe.
Chang Xi had only been a direct disciple for three to four years.
The Yu sisters had been cultivating in the Divine Night Sect for more than 40 years, and had also been an inner disciple of the Gu Yang Peak for more than 10 years. Before entering the Cuiwei Lake to cultivate, they must have also been cultivating in a cave that belonged to other direct disciples.
Chen Xun didn’t have any information to think about this question before, so it wasn’t hard to understand that there must be someone between Xia Xiangyi and Elder Zhou Yang, the Weaponry Refining Dean, who had a close relationship with the Yu sisters.
In the end, Chang Xi’s time as a direct disciple was very short, and her foundation in the Divine Night Sect was still very shallow.
Thinking of Xia Xiangyi, Zhou Yang, and even Jiang Bin, who were in the depths of the Snake Cave, Chen Xun retrieved the Six-Headed Giant Snake Puppet.
Lei Wanhe, the Yu sisters weren’t good at forging artifact puppets, so they couldn’t see too many paths. Chen Xun didn’t want his foundation to be seen by the people of Marquis Yuan’s Manor and Qiyun Mountain.
**********************
Several giant pythons pounced over. Chang Xi held the Heavenly Mirror in her hand and shot out a ray of spiritual light. Several pythons seemed to have been frozen, and their bodies instantly became abnormally stagnant. Chen Xun leapt out with the Thunder Meteorite Sword in his hand and directly stabbed at the snake’s eyes and other vital areas.
The emerald-green wooden sword in Chang Xi’s hand turned into a soft spring ivy that wrapped around several pythons. However, the tip of the branch carried a sharp sword intent that pierced into the snake’s eyes, belly lines, and other vital points.
After cutting off the Blood Pill, Snake Gall, and other items, Chen Xun and Chang Xi continued to walk inside.
After walking for more than ten kilometers, the Snake Sky gradually became more and more bifurcated, and numerous corridors stretched out, forming a bead web-like labyrinth in the depths of Tu Shan.
Chen Xun and Chang Xi didn’t care about anything else. Following the sounds of fighting coming from the depths of the snake’s cave, they rushed straight into the cave and killed several groups of strange snakes that rushed in. They blasted out a bloody path from a low passageway that was several kilometers long and arrived in front of a huge underground cave that was two to three hundred feet wide.
A dozen Divine Night Sect disciples were trapped by hundreds of magical creatures in the middle of the crypt, unable to escape.
Gu Chengzhuo held the eight-pronged lightning hammer in his hand, and his figure was valiant and fierce. With a single hammer, even an enormous python with boundless divine power could be chopped several zhang away by him. Lei Wanhe and the others wielded spirit swords as they moved beside Gu Chengzhuo, blocking the attack of the demonic beast.
Apart from Gu Chengzhuo, Lei Wanhe, and the others, the situation of the other Divine Night Sect disciples was not good.
Before everyone entered Mount Tu, they were all wearing spirit armor and carrying a large number of spirit talismans with them. However, Chen Xun saw that under the fierce bloodthirsty attacks of the demonic beasts, the spirit lights on their bodies were getting dimmer and dimmer, and they were almost on the verge of collapse.
There were even several disciples who had been severely injured, but they had Gu Chengzhuo and the others protect them in the middle, so their lives weren’t in danger for the time being.
Chen Xun was surprised that Gu Chengzhuo actually dared to barge into the snake demon without all his preparations. How could Gu Chengzhuo not know what was good for him?
He didn’t see Xia Xiangyi and the others, but there was a faint sound of fighting coming from the deeper snake hole. Chen Xun thought to himself that Gu Chengzhuo wasn’t a direct disciple, so he probably couldn’t make the decision. Perhaps it was because he had followed Xia Xiangyi and the others into the snake hole and accidentally separated from Xia Xiangyi and the others that he was trapped by hundreds of demonic beasts.
Even if it wasn’t for Gu Chengzhuo, Lei Wanhe, Chen Xun, and Chang Xi seeing the other Divine Night Sect disciples being surrounded by demonic beasts, they couldn’t just watch as they died.
When Gu Chengzhuo saw Chen Xun, Chang Xi shouted excitedly, “Senior Sister Chang Xi is here …”
“A bunch of useless fellows.” Chang Xi said with disdain, but her subordinates’ movements weren’t slow. The Heavenly Mirror shot out clumps of spiritual light, causing the magical creatures in the crypt to cry out loudly. The jade-green wooden sword was still filled with endless spring. The madly growing spring ivy was like the long hair of a snake demon, and it split out hundreds of thin branches to wrap around the snakes, demonic rats, and demonic foxes.
Chen Xun didn’t dare to hold back at this moment. Spiritual energy frantically poured into the Thunderfall Sword, transforming into sword shadows that filled the sky, killing the demonic rats and demonic foxes that leaked out from the ivy cracks …
Demonic fox and demonic mouse looked small, but their entire bodies were covered with green scales. Sabers and swords were difficult to injure, and their numbers were extremely large. No matter how sharp Chen Xunlei’s Thunder Meteorite Sword was, he could only hurriedly chop the demonic mouse and demonic fox away, making it difficult for them to hit the vital parts and seriously injure them.
As for these demonic rats and demonic foxes, their teeth and claws were exceptionally sharp.
The Profound Yang Spirit Armor Chen Xun wore was also a top-grade advanced magical artifact. He didn’t fear the corrosion of the demon fiend, and accidentally called out for the demon mouse and the demon fox claws to bite him. It was also a flash of lightning and stone. Not only was the protective spirit light broken, the spirit armor itself was also bite-ridden by deep scars …
Only the Heavenly Jun Blazing Sun Shield was exceptionally sturdy, and it didn’t fear the bite of demonic rats or demonic foxes at all. It could even greatly reduce the impact of the tail flick of the alien snake.
Lei Wanhe and Gu Chengzhuo used to use the Heavenly Jun Blazing Sun Shield as a defensive magical artifact, but they didn’t know that the Heavenly Jun Blazing Sun Shield could truly display its power when used in close combat by martial artists.
Chen Xun and Chang Xi rushed to the center of the cave and merged with Gu Chengzhuo and the others. Chen Xun discovered that Zhao Cheng’en, a disciple of the Heavenly Punishment Peak, was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the crowd to regulate his breathing. His face was as black as ink, and it was precisely a sign that Demon Fiend was attacking his heart.
The emerald-green wooden sword in Chang Xi’s hand sprouted a vigorous tender branch that pierced through Zhao Cheng’en’s heart.
In just a few breaths, the emerald-green wooden sword in Chang Xi’s hand was dyed azure-black by Demon Fiend, and the tender branch even withered and fell to the ground.
The jade-green wooden sword seemed to have lost its spirituality and became dim. Chang Xi didn’t care about regretting this spirit sword and could only throw it into her bag of holding. She frowned and asked Zhao Cheng’en, “Why are you injured so badly? There isn’t any magical creature here that can hurt you so badly!”
Chen Xun was also puzzled. If Zhao Cheng’en hadn’t been seriously injured, he, Gu Cheng Zhuo, Lei Wan He, and the others wouldn’t have been beaten into a sorry state so quickly if they had resisted the siege of hundreds of demonic beasts.
Although Chang Xi had helped to turn many demons into fiends, Zhao Cheng’en was still feeling uncomfortable and could not speak. Gu Cheng Zhuo answered Chang Xi’s question on his behalf,
“We entered the snake den together with Senior Brother Xia and the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty’s Crown Prince Jiang Bin and the others. We happened to arrive at the Heavenly Yao’s lair from the hidden river. Senior Brother Cheng En was caught off guard and was heavily injured by the Heavenly Yao. Senior Brother Xia ordered us to protect Senior Brother Cheng En here. They chased after him and killed the Heavenly Yao …”
However, when Gu Chengzhuo said those words, his mood wasn’t calm. Chen Xun thought that when Zhao Chengen was heavily injured by the Heavenly Yao, there might be something strange.
