They're talking about the Great Black Dragon!
Bai Qingnian looked up at the source of the sound. Not far away, a few women were standing in twos and threes, having a lively discussion.
"The Fox Emperor is injured? He was injured yesterday? Could it be that the Great Black Dragon did it..." Bai Qingnian murmured softly. Long Qianling, who was perched on his shoulder, heard him and looked up at him.
I even cut off one of her tails!
If Bai Qingnian could understand snake expressions, he would definitely be able to see the smug look on Long Qianling's snake-like face right now.
He went to the Great Palace yesterday and didn't hear any news of the Fox Emperor's injury when he came back. When exactly did the Great Black Dragon make his move?
Bai Qingnian became more and more confused, unable to figure it out, and stopped torturing herself.
Never mind, things will work themselves out. We'll find out in time. Right now, gathering herbs is the priority.
Bai Qingnian led Long Qianling slowly into Baicao Valley. When they reached a small hillside, he saw the herbs he wanted.
"Little Black, let's dig here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out tools from his spatial bag and began to carefully dig up herbs.
Long Qianling glanced at him, then slid down his back to the ground. Noticing the slight weight no longer on his shoulder, Bai Qingnian quickly stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look, and saw that Xiao Hei, who had been obediently perched on his shoulder, had disappeared.
"Little Black? Little Black, where did you go?"
Bai Qingnian carefully observed his surroundings, but there was no sign of Xiao Hei at all.
Have they left?
He sat on the ground, looking dejected, with his head hanging down, like a dog that had been abandoned.
When Long Qianling arrived, he saw a Moonflower growing not far away. Since he had already seen it, he thought he might as well dig it up for the little fox and take it back, so that it wouldn't benefit someone else.
When she returned with the moonflower in her mouth, she saw Bai Qingnian sitting on the ground looking dejected.
Somewhat puzzled, she crawled over and climbed onto his knees, raising her head high to look at him.
Bai Qingnian was stunned, looking at the little black snake on his knee with disbelief.
The reason was simple: the little black snake was carrying a decent-quality moonflower in its mouth.
"Little Black...you went to gather herbs, you're not leaving..."
Long Qianling dropped the Moon-Viewing Grass, tilted her head, climbed up his thigh and onto his head, and even stretched out her tail to pat Bai Qingnian's face.
It doesn't hurt or itch, and it feels a little cool.
Bai Qingnian raised his hand and touched the spot where she had patted him, then smiled again.
"Thank you, Xiao Hei~"
Bai Qingnian put the Moonflower on the ground into his spatial bag and started digging for other herbs again. Long Qianling on his head watched him dig for herbs and then fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Qingnian finally finished digging up the herbs he wanted. As he stood up to walk back, he noticed a Crimson Crystal Fruit growing on the stone wall not far in front of him.
“That’s…Crimson Crystal Fruit!” Bai Qingnian’s beautiful fox-like eyes widened.
That Crimson Crystal Fruit, which takes three hundred years to mature, has the effect of strengthening the body and improving the meridians. He was so lucky today to have found a Crimson Crystal Fruit. If he picks it and gives it to his father, his father's health will definitely recover better.
Bai Qingnian was overjoyed and ran over to carefully pick the Crimson Crystal Fruit. What he didn't notice was that as soon as he approached the stone wall, the stone wall emitted a faint blue light.
As soon as Bai Qingnian put the Crimson Crystal Fruit into his spatial bag, the stone wall in front of him emitted a bright blue light, and strange runes appeared around him. A powerful suction force pulled him in.
"not good!"
Bai Qingnian was shocked and threw the little black snake off his head. Even if there was danger, he couldn't let her get hurt. He still had some cultivation, but the little black snake couldn't even transform into human form. He couldn't let her be implicated.
You damned fox, what are you doing!
Long Qianling was furious when she was thrown out, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly as he was swallowed up by that strange magic circle.
Bang!
Bai Qingnian fell to the ground, and the blue light disappeared instantly. He quickly looked up and around.
The view is of a lush green valley, covered with beautiful red wildflowers.
Bai Qingnian rubbed the spot where he had fallen and stood up.
This is... deep within Baicao Valley.
Suddenly, a deafening roar rang out, almost deafening him. He was so shocked by the powerful aura that he took a few steps back.
At that moment, a giant python with silver scales appeared before him.
The giant python's enormous eyes stared straight at him, terrifying Bai Qingnian so much that he dared not move or breathe.
Wow...what a huge snake...
Suddenly, the giant python opened its blood-red maw at him, as if to swallow him whole.
Bai Qingnian instinctively jumped to the left, dodging the giant python's gaping maw. Instead of eating its prey, the python ended up with a mouthful of dirt and charged at Bai Qingnian in a rage, looking determined to devour him.
Bai Qingnian ran forward as fast as he could, with the giant python close behind.
"Second Prince, look! Isn't that Bai Shijiu?"
Just then, a voice came from somewhere.
Bai Qingnian followed the sound and searched for a long time before finally finding several human heads in a small cave filled with rocks.
With his sharp eyes, he spotted Bai Shaoheng in the crowd at a glance.
Bai Shaoheng glanced at him, then looked away, his voice utterly cold: "Ignore him..."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Isn't the Second Prince supposed to be the kindest? How come he's so indifferent when his half-brother is in danger?
Bai Qingnian knew that no one would come to save him. Fortunately, he had just thrown Xiao Hei out, otherwise Xiao Hei would have been eaten by the giant python along with him.
He was just a little reluctant to leave his father. After he was gone, his father had to live a good life...
Tears blurred Bai Qingnian's vision, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Bai Qingnian looked up at the giant python's gaping maw.
He raised his hand to form a hand seal in front of him, and a faint white light shone on the giant python's face, leaving only a shallow scratch.
As expected, he was still too weak...
His action was a provocation to the giant python, which roared to the sky, causing rocks to tumble down the entire valley.
It stretched out its enormous tail, as if to smash Bai Qingnian to pieces.
Bai Qingnian tried to get up, but he was already exhausted.
Am I really going to die here today...?
Tears streamed down his face, and the next second he lost consciousness.
"He's dead?!" The people in the cave murmured as they looked at Bai Qingnian, who had fallen unconscious not far away.
Bai Shaoheng also looked in that direction, a fleeting look of guilt crossing his eyes.
Bang!
A golden light pierced through the giant python's tail, instantly sending flesh and blood flying.
Bai Qingnian, who had been unconscious, actually stood up from the ground.
"Ugh, what a hassle!"
