Water vipers, like frogs, are only sensitive to moving objects and will not let go once they bite something.

Xue Huan returned to the forest, cut a branch of suitable length, made a simple fishing rod, tied a piece of scorpion meat on the hook, and poured a drop of spiritual spring water on it.

The appeal of this piece of meat suddenly soared several levels.

Xue Huan got herself a small stool, carved a wooden container and placed it beside it, sprinkled insect repellent powder around it, lit a stick of incense, sat down leisurely, and hung the fishing rod above the river.

My goodness, as soon as it was put there, several poisonous water snakes jumped up and bit the scorpion meat.

The other water snakes had nowhere to bite and had to fall back into the water regretfully.

Xue Huan caught seven or eight water snakes in one go.

The snakes hanging on the scorpion meat looked like a string of water strips, but it was not disgusting at all.

After all, the beauty is there.

Xue Huan retracted the fishing rod and used her hands wearing ice silk gloves to pull off the snakes, extract the venom, pick out the fangs, and then throw them into a wooden barrel and keep them with a small bottle of spiritual spring water.

A water snake without venom and fangs is like a loach. It is not too late to raise it for a while before killing it to prevent it from becoming stale.

In this way, Xue Huan followed the same method and caught dozens of water snakes in a row.

The venom collected filled a whole bottle.

When she cast her fishing rod again, no water viper took the bait, no matter how she shook the rod with the fragrant scorpion meat on it on the water.

She changed her position several times, but only caught a few sporadic ones. It seemed that she had caught all the poisonous snakes in the river.

Thinking about it, she released two more fish, one male and one female. She couldn't really kill them all. She still had to develop sustainably.

When there are more water vipers here in the future, she can come back to fish for them.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xue Huan contentedly put away her fishing rod and walked towards the cliff carrying a wooden bucket full of extracted water vipers.

She used a dragon-tooth dagger that could cut through iron like tofu to carve a cave on the cliff. The cave was more than ten meters from the ground, and ordinary poisonous insects and beasts should not be able to get in.

Several small steps were dug at the bottom of the cave to make it easier for her to go in and out.

The cave was quite large, and although she was only staying there for one night, she didn't want to feel bad. She would feel suffocated if the space was too small. Of course, the reason why she was able to carve out a cave as big as a house so skillfully was mainly because this dragon tooth dagger was so useful.

Those hard stones were like tofu in front of it, and she could chip off a large piece without much effort.

She is addicted to it.

However, she didn't make the hole that big, so she had to curl up to get in and out, so as to prevent the wind from blowing in at night.

There are two rooms in the cave. The outer room is used for warming fire and storing wooden barrels containing water snakes, fishing rods and other things. The inner room is for sleeping, so she specially carved a stone bed.

After making the temporary residence fresh and clean, it was already dark and the whole place was silent. The only sound was the whistling of the cold wind.

It seemed as if winter had arrived overnight.

The temperature plummeted.

This valley not only imprisoned the spiritual power in her body, but also lacked a trace of spiritual energy. The various runes engraved on her robes could not absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, and naturally could not work. The clothes only had the most basic functions and could not adjust the temperature according to the external environment.

A cold wind blew into the cave. She quickly placed the large stone she had cut into door panels at the entrance and held the Tianluo umbrella open behind the stone panels. This immediately brought peace to the cave.

But the coldness was like water, invading from all directions.

She could hardly bear it any longer, so she quickly changed into her coat and put on a thick fluffy cloak. She also lit a bonfire in a fire pit she had dug on the ground, and only then did she feel warm.

It’s so cold in the first half of the night. Won’t my feet be frozen off in the second half of the night?

The temperature difference between day and night in this valley is too great.

Xue Huan set up a pot above the campfire and cooked a pot of soup with the cleaned water venomous snake meat. To avoid destroying the deliciousness of the snake meat, she did not add too many seasonings, only a little salt and soy sauce. After cooking, she served a bowl of soup, held it in her hand while it was still hot, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and drank it.

Ah, it’s just as San Baqian said, it’s incredibly delicious!

It’s so delicious to roast by the fire and drink soup at the same time.

It would be great if I had sweet potatoes. I could bury one in the fire and roast it until it turns into honey. It would be so sweet!

She did have it in her space, but unfortunately she couldn't take it out.

I wonder how Pei Ji is doing now? Has he reached the Falling God Abyss?

Thinking of him, Xue Huan couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart.

As Xue Huan was staring at the jumping fire in a daze, something suddenly flashed in the corner of her eye. She looked over and saw a translucent human figure, but only the general shape was visible, and even the facial features of the man or woman could not be seen.

The figure rushed straight towards her. Xue Huan tried her best to dodge, but the figure ignored any physical attacks and obstacles. The space in the cave was limited, and the figure actually rushed into her body.

In an instant, Xue Huan felt as if her body had fallen into an ice cellar. A cold and sinister force was at work in her body, trying to drive her soul out!

It turns out that this translucent shadow is specifically designed to attack people's souls.

If it were anything else, she might not be able to do anything, but there is a soul fire in her soul!

Xue Huan practiced the "Soul Flame Art", and the fire in her soul instantly ignited. The "Soul Flame Art" is a method of cultivating the soul that does not require spiritual power. As soon as it was put into practice, the flames expanded rapidly, burning the shadow that broke into her body to ashes.

Oh, no, there is still something left.

It was a gray bead the size of a soybean, like a crystal of impure texture.

Xue Huan opened her hand, and the gray bead appeared in her palm.

This bead exuded an aura of soul power, and she intuitively knew she could absorb it to strengthen her soul power.

Could this also be a soul crystal?

Soul crystals are very common in the Soul World. All living creatures there possess soul crystals. When you kill a creature, a soul crystal will drop.

But she hasn't seen it outside yet.

The translucent figure just now looked like a ghost but not a ghost, with a cold and evil aura. Could it be an evil spirit?

Evil spirits are a kind of existence born from various evil auras such as yin energy, evil energy, and death energy. They usually have no intelligence and no specific form, and feed on the souls of living beings.

There are evil spirits in this place, it seems that this is not a place to stay for long.

While he was thinking, more evil spirits came in.

These evil spirits are scary because they have no physical body and cannot be hurt by physical attacks. In addition, spiritual power cannot be used here. Even if one reaches the Jindan stage, he can only become a mortal and be helpless.

But people like Xue Huan, who have specialized in practicing soul-related skills, are not afraid at all.

She burns as much as comes.

She threw all the soul crystals she obtained into the soul fire as fuel, making it easier to deal with evil spirits.
