"You mean Lao Xu? Let me tell you, being able to follow Lao Xu is absolutely my blessing, Zhang Chunhua."
Zhang Chunhua spoke of her husband with a proud look on her face:
"He recently took a bunch of snakes to Cornwall. If he hadn't taken a large number with him, you would be seeing even more today."
"And, he just happened to go and check on how our son is doing."
"Let me tell you, my son is a Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 5, and his Martial Soul happens to be a Flower Snake."
“I told my husband, ‘Worshipping the snake god is effective; my son will definitely be successful in the future.’”
When talking about her son, Zhang Chunhua's eyes shone brightly, and her joy was almost palpable on her face.
"A serpent god? What is that?"
Upon hearing the term "Snake God," Xiao Chenyu keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Douluo Continent is not a world without gods, but it is certain that soul beasts cannot have their own gods.
"Hey, it's just a legend that's been circulating in our village for years, but it doesn't actually exist."
Zhang Chunhua waved her hand, looking like she didn't believe in God:
"They say it's because the snake god blesses people with good health and longevity. But I think it's just that people who raise snakes have made money, so they treat snakes like gods."
Xiao Chenyu's lips twitched slightly; he had figured it out.
This peculiar person before me belongs to the type who respects the so-called snake god only when he receives benefits, and disbelieves in the god when he doesn't.
However, this is probably the thinking of most ordinary people. The reason why Soul Masters worship the Angel God of the Spirit Hall is simply because the Spirit Hall provides the greatest benefits.
However, the title "Snake God" aroused Xiao Chenyu's vigilance.
If he remembers correctly, there are only three ways to go from level 99 to level 100 and become a god.
Become a god through faith, break through with hard power, and inherit the divine position.
This snake god is clearly on the path of faith.
Even the path of faith in this so-called snake god seems to have begun.
If this thing really was just one step away from becoming a god, Xiao Chenyu planned to turn around and leave.
If it really reaches that level, it's beyond his current capabilities; the Spirit Hall might have to mobilize its entire forces.
Of course, there is another way to deal with the other party: wait for them to become a god.
After becoming a god, even higher-ranking figures will naturally cause trouble, so Xiao Chenyu no longer needs to worry.
However, Xiao Chenyu wasn't too worried. Judging from their last encounter, the snake god couldn't possibly be that strong.
Otherwise, Xiao Chenyu and the others wouldn't have been able to come back then.
"Aunt Zhang, you just said your son's martial soul is a flower snake. What are your and your husband's martial souls?"
Remembering what Zhang Chunhua had said before, Xiao Chenyu suddenly had an idea and asked.
"I am an embroidery needle."
Zhang Chunhua cheerfully summoned a silver needle, her tone tinged with pride:
"Don't underestimate this needle. I used to be the best tailor in the village."
"As for Old Xu, his martial soul is an iron spear. Don't be fooled by his innate soul power being only level 1; he's still a level 13 soul master!"
When talking about herself and her husband, Zhang Chunhua clearly showed satisfaction and pride.
Their family is considered quite well-off, at least within Mangshan Village.
Upon hearing about the two's martial spirits, Xiao Chenyu secretly exchanged a glance with Ning Fengzhi, their eyes filled with worry.
Neither of the parents possessed a snake-like martial soul, yet their child was born with one.
There are only two possibilities: either the child isn't biologically related, or something went wrong.
Considering the sense of happiness in Zhang Chunhua's words, coupled with the large number of snakes in the yard, it's hard to say that something might be wrong.
After asking a few more questions, Xiao Chenyu and his group left Zhang Chunhua's house. Before leaving, they promised to give their regards to Old Xu if they met him on the way.
Xiao Chenyu and his group visited several other places, and with several bags of copper soul coins clearing the way, the intelligence and information they obtained were all quite similar.
Starting a few years ago, Mangshan Village began raising snakes throughout the village. The snakes that were successfully raised would be sent to Kangdun City in exchange for a large sum of money.
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
The villagers also saw various snake-based products in Condon and had no suspicions.
They simply couldn't make them themselves, so they had to sell snakes to the city of Condon and then pay for the products.
And those snake oils, snake gallbladders, and snake wines are really effective. Since they started raising snakes, there have been far fewer minor illnesses and disasters in the village.
After collecting this information, Xiao Chenyu didn't linger and headed towards the carriage.
On the way, Xiao Chenyu remained outwardly calm, but secretly used his soul power to transmit a message to Ning Fengzhi:
"Uncle Ning, it seems this situation is quite serious."
“Even the outermost Mangshan Village has been infiltrated, which shows what the interior has become.” Ning Fengzhi’s words were serious.
Before arriving, Ning Fengzhi hadn't realized the situation was this serious.
However, judging from what we have seen and heard today, the area around Condon City is showing signs of being controlled by snakes.
Ning Fengzhi immediately recognized that this tactic of raising snakes to win over the people was an imitation of Notting City.
One specializes in raising snakes, while the other raises all kinds of spirit beasts.
What they had in common was that once the ordinary people below became wealthy, they in turn began to support the rule of Cornwall.
"Luckily, the Spirit Hall discovered it early, otherwise my Notting City would probably have been demolished." Xiao Chenyu looked relieved.
He didn't care whether Ning Fengzhi would make unfounded accusations.
Behind Notting City stands Prince Xue Qinghe, but behind Condon City there is none.
While the group was chatting, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the carriage.
