Chapter 54 Chapter 54 After sending the little black snake away, Shen Wei...
After sending the little black snake away, Chen Wei always felt a little uneasy, but he did not think too much about it. When he placed the little black snake with Duan Zhou, he said that he would send it away immediately after finding a place for the little black snake to live. Now he has fulfilled his promise.
It’s just… When Shen Wei recalled the shocked look on the little black snake’s face and its listless appearance when it was sent away, he felt a little guilty.
But in fact, since the little black snake came here, it has never given Chen Wei a good look.
When he walked to the small courtyard, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no sound for a long time. Chen Wei thought that Duan Zhou had gone out to practice sword again and had not returned yet. After all, Duan Zhou was a sword cultivator, and it was normal for him to practice sword for a long time.
He had no choice but to push open the door and put the chicken soup he had stewed early in the morning in Duan Zhou's room. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a scale on the table.
There is blood on the scale, which looks a bit fresh, and the scale also looks a bit familiar.
"Snake...snake scales?" Chen Wei was shocked: "Who knocked off the scales of this little black snake?!"
No one was as surprised as Chen Wei, because the scales were stained with blood. He widened his eyes in surprise, and then the prophecy "The little black snake was bullied by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect" flashed through his mind. Shen Wei looked at the bloody scales again, and suddenly he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
He stretched out his hand to hold the table and relaxed for a moment, only to find that his ears and tail had appeared again. He shook his head and sat on the chair. The scales felt warm and cool to the touch, like a piece of jade.
So at lunch time, when most of the furry creatures were gathering in groups and digging into their food bowls to prepare to eat, they heard the alarm. They immediately looked at each other, and then quickly rushed towards Chen Wei, especially these peak masters.
Even Wu Man became much faster. He transformed into a human form and flew on his sword.
Although it doesn't like its human form at all, it thinks its prototype is the best looking.
"Brother." Chi Luan arrived first and asked, "What happened?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes fell on a piece of snake scale in Shen Wei's hand. She was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed in shock. She said, "Brother, what is that in your hand? Why is there blood? Are you injured?!"
"No." Seeing that Chi Luan was about to get angry, Chen Wei quickly calmed down the irritable Chi Luan and said, "This is what I found on the table. It seems to be snake scales. I was wondering... if this corresponds to the words in the prophecy."
After these words were spoken, not only Chi Luan fell silent, but even the three people who had rushed over fell silent.
"Who plucked the scales of this little black snake?" Qingsi, who was also a member of the snake clan, recognized immediately that these were snake scales, and heart-protecting scales at that. But for some reason, he always felt that they seemed a little different and the texture was surprisingly good.
"I don't know. I put it here when I came. There's blood on it." Chen Wei felt even more guilty when he thought about the fact that he had sent the little black snake away and that it was still injured. But the little black snake being with Duan Zhou would easily affect the swordsman. Chen Wei thought that if it really didn't work, he would just put the little black snake in his room.
"This is the Heart Protecting Scale." Chi Luan loved to collect all kinds of treasures, and recognized this scale at a glance. She said, "But Qing Si should know this scale best."
"This is indeed a heart-protecting scale, and it is also the hardest scale on a snake. Before the Myriad Beasts Sect, many human cultivators wanted to capture snake spirit beasts and obtain their heart-protecting scales to make defensive magic weapons. Each snake has only one scale, and once it is plucked out, the vitality will be greatly damaged. Usually, this is a matter of life and death." Qing Si realized that this matter was a little complicated, and he said, "Brother... this..."
"Is it possible that it was pulled out by that swordsman?" Bai Xiao asked.
"No." Chen Wei shook his head and said, "According to the prophecy, the little black snake was bullied, but according to the prophecy, we did not look for human swordsmen, so it is impossible that it was Brother Duan who did it."
Everyone looked at each other and felt that what Chen Wei said made some sense, but if it wasn't done by this little black snake, who else could have done it?
While everyone was still thinking about it, the black scales had already appeared on Chen Wei's body, as if they had automatically recognized their master. Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, and Chi Luan beside him said, "Brother, you fed the little black snake the Life and Death Gu, so their auras are similar, so the scales may have automatically recognized you as their master."
"How do we take it off?" Shen Wei asked.
"I don't know." Chi Luan shook his head, and then looked at Qing Si. Qing Si also shook his head and said, "I don't know. No snake will easily get rid of its heart scales, so no one knows how to get it off."
Shen Wei unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a little bit of his chest. He could feel the scales there, but he couldn't see them at all, only skin with scars.
“Do I have to dig it out forcibly?” Shen Wei felt his scalp tingling at the thought. He suddenly thought of the look in the little black snake’s eyes, which gave him an even bigger headache. He actually really wanted to repair his relationship with the little black snake and treat it well, but the little black snake’s attitude towards him had always been very repulsive, even a little disgusted, which made Shen Wei a little afraid to step forward. Now, the most important heart-protecting scales of the little black snake had been taken by him. Although it was not his original intention, in fact, he took advantage of it.
Shen Wei sighed deeply, feeling that the misunderstanding between him and the little black snake might be hard to explain.
"What about that human swordsman? Maybe he has a way?" Chi Luan said, "Humans like to read a lot of books and know a lot of things. Some weapon refining sects also have records of these things. Maybe he knows?"
"That makes sense." Shen Wei said.
Even so, he could only smile bitterly. Only he knew best that the scale seemed to be firmly attached to his heart. He could almost feel the patterns and veins on the scale, and could feel a spiritual power that did not belong to him tightly protecting his heart.
"We'll talk about it later." Chen Wei had a headache. The discomfort he felt yesterday came back. He rubbed his brows and looked a little tired. He waved his hand and said, "Bai Xiao, leave the little black snake with you first. I'll bring it back tomorrow."
"Okay, big brother." Bai Xiao had a rough personality to begin with, so he didn't notice that Shen Wei looked a little uncomfortable. The thoughtful Qing Si looked at Shen Wei's slightly pale face a few more times, and after the other spirit beasts had left, Qing Si still stayed here.
"What's wrong, Qingsi?" Chen Wei raised his head and looked at Qingsi and asked.
"Brother, are you feeling unwell?" Qing Si asked, "You feel that your complexion is not right, are you injured?"
"No problem." Chen Wei laughed. He was indeed feeling unwell, but it wasn't that serious. He would be fine after a while. Now the little black snake's scales were on him. Although this kind of thing happened not because of Chen Wei, he still felt guilty. He whispered, "Do you have any way to return the scales?"
Qing Si opened his mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and finally shook his head firmly.
Qing Si felt Shen Wei's pulse, but could not find any problem with Shen Wei, so he had to give up. After he left, Shen Wei sat alone in the chair for a long time, and then got up to look for the broken boat in the woods behind.
However, at this moment, Duan Zhou was licking his wounds in the cage. When he heard the door open, he turned around and saw that the white tiger came here and looked around. After confirming that the little black snake was still alive, he came over to sniff it and was almost bitten. Finally, he became obedient. He turned his head to the two chatty furry guards and said, "Keep an eye on it."
"Okay, Peak Master!" the two furry creatures responded immediately.
When the room was quiet, Duan Zhou was feeling a little drowsy. Losing a piece of heart-protecting scale was indeed a big blow to him, but he suddenly heard furry voices of conversation coming from outside the door.
"Last time, the Sect Master said to find a few more sword cultivators. We can't put all our eggs in one basket."
"Yes, the master is really smart!"
Jiao stood up instantly. His wound was torn and bleeding, but he didn't care anymore. He just heard the outsider continue to say, "After all, the Sect Master chose the sword cultivator to do things with him!"
"That's right, the leader is smart!" another furry creature responded.
They looked at each other and knew very well what the other meant. There was really nothing they could do as the Heavenly Dao was watching from above and they could not reveal the secret. They could only chat in this way. Anyway, they all understood what the other meant, and that was enough!
