The serpent's lair was extremely dark, but a few green lights shone through the darkness, like starlight.
Lan Hua felt a chill run down her spine. Those green lights weren't starlight at all; they were emitted from the eyes of the giant snake.
The nest also contained many large red snakes, which hissed when they saw Lan Hua appear at the entrance, making Lan Hua's scalp tingle.
"Damn it, we've stirred up a hornet's nest!"
Lan Hua was in a terrible predicament; she couldn't retreat, nor could she advance.
If we retreat, the poison in our bodies will be impossible to cure; if we go in, we'll have to fight more than ten giant snakes, which will cost us a lot of energy.
Since entering this cave, Lan Hua has switched to internal breathing, and her Yuan energy has been flowing out without entering.
The cave is filled with poisonous gas; if you try to restore your vital energy, you will be corroded by the poisonous gas.
"Never mind, they're just a few big snakes!"
Taking advantage of the snake's surprise, Lan Hua fired three talisman arrows.
Three arrows shot out and struck the three large snakes at their vital points, creating holes.
"roar!"
Several earth-shattering roars rang out. Lan Hua reacted swiftly, firing three more talisman arrows, which once again struck the same spot on all three giant snakes.
After the arrow pierced seven inches deep, the three large snakes immediately twisted into a ball, howling and screaming in agony.
With a few whooshing sounds, five large snakes rushed towards the cave entrance, but Lan Hua was already planning to retreat.
A faint light flashed beneath her feet, and Lan Hua quickly retreated to a distance, hiding behind a large rock diagonally opposite the cave entrance.
Yueque nocked another talisman arrow.
"Hmph, it's been a long time since I've been an assassin. Today I'll relive that experience and have some fun!"
No sooner had he thought of that than a large snake burst out of the cave.
The snake was enormous, but the entrance to the cave was not very large, allowing only one snake to pass through at a time.
Lan Hua steadied Yue Que's bow, not in a hurry to shoot the arrow.
Once the snake's vital spot was exposed, an arrow suddenly appeared and struck the snake in that spot.
The powerful force surged through the snake, causing it to writhe in agony. Its massive body slammed into the cave entrance.
Just as the giant snake was about to speed through the cave entrance, another talisman arrow shot out, hitting the same spot precisely.
The seven-inch mark was already injured, and now the same spot was struck again, the arrow instantly piercing into his body and striking his heart.
"roar!"
Ignoring its injuries, the giant snake twisted its body and charged at Lan Hua once more.
"If you're courting death, don't blame me!"
The talisman arrow shot out again, striking the arrow hole with lightning speed and piercing the serpent's heart completely.
The giant snake let out a mournful cry, and its enormous body crashed to the ground.
A powerful expert at the Dan Shen realm has fallen just like that.
Before Lan Hua could catch her breath, another large snake rushed out of the cave and became her prey once again.
At this moment, Lan Hua was like the Grim Reaper; once her talisman arrows were unleashed, nothing could withstand them.
In just a short while, the bodies of six large snakes were already lying outside the cave.
However, Lan Hua did not put down the Yue Que Bow, and the talisman arrow was still nocked on the bowstring.
He knew that there were still large snakes inside the cave.
The reason they didn't appear was simply because they were terrified of Lan Hua; it's an animal instinct.
After shooting down the six giant snakes, Lan Hua fell silent.
These giant snakes are clearly all powerful cultivators at the Dan Shen realm, having already achieved the primordial spirit and the ability to transform into human form. Why then did we not see a single one of them transform?
It insisted on dragging its enormous body along, waiting to be pierced by the talisman arrow.
"This is really strange. Could these giant snakes be under control?"
Lan Hua thought for a moment, this is Tianyuan Cave, a place for those who have made it onto the Earth Ranking to undergo trials, so it is normal for these giant snakes to be under control.
With that thought, Lan Hua felt somewhat relieved and stopped thinking about it.
After waiting for a long time, no large snake appeared at the cave entrance.
The bodies of the six large snakes were almost piled together, like a small mountain, giving people a heavy sense of pressure.
"Hmph, since you won't come out, then I'll come to you myself!"
Lan Hua knew that there were at least four large snakes inside the cave, all of which she had shot and were too scared to come out.
He slowly approached the cave entrance, his eyes gleaming. He could see most of the cave inside, but there was no trace of the giant snake.
"Could it be hiding in the blind spots on either side of the cave entrance, waiting for me to take the bait?"
Lan Hua dared not be careless. She slowly lowered the Yueque Bow and then crossed her hands in front of her.
He silently activated the Heavenly Elixir Technique, and a red flame swept around his body.
boom!
Two streaks of crimson lotus fire transformed into fire dragons, which, under the control of both hands, swept across the cave entrance.
The temperature of the Crimson Lotus Fire was extremely high. In just a few breaths, the temperature at the cave entrance had become incredibly high, radiating a terrifying heat wave.
"roar!"
A roar came from near the cave entrance; it was the giant snake.
Unable to withstand the intense heat, the giant snake quickly retreated deeper into the cave.
Lan Hua quickly grabbed the Yue Que Bow, rushed into the cave, and locked onto the wounded giant snake with her talisman arrow.
The arrow pierced the dark cave, striking the serpent's wound and piercing its heart.
After twisting and turning wildly several times, the snake gradually slowed down, then its eyes became vacant and lifeless, and it eventually died.
Lan Hua cautiously scanned the cave, but did not see any other large snakes.
"Hmm? It seems the injured snakes have escaped!"
Upon entering the depths of the cave, the interior was in complete disarray, with filth everywhere.
The cave was filled with eggshells, some of which were still intact, and you could vaguely see a snake swimming inside.
After taking a few steps, my foot suddenly stopped, and I almost tripped.
Lan Hua looked down and saw that it was a cultivator who had already lost his breath.
"If there's one person here, there are probably quite a few others!"
After walking for a while, they indeed encountered several corpses.
Suddenly, Lan Hua was drawn to a skeleton.
The skeleton was already broken and could no longer be arranged to resemble a human.
"The bones are dark in color, so they must be quite old, at least a hundred years old!"
This Tianyuan Cave is indeed dangerous; so many powerful figures have perished here.
Although those giant snakes were no more than at the Refining Spirit Realm, their venom was extremely cunning, targeting the nerves and primordial spirit.
Even a master at the Refining Spirit Realm can fall victim to this if they are not careful.
"If I weren't a master archer with such a powerful weapon as the talisman arrows, I wouldn't be a match for the great serpent!"
Lan Hua ventured deeper into the lair of some large snakes and finally discovered several vines at the foot of a wall.
Many red fruits grew on the vines, emitting a faint red glow in the dim nest.
"Hmm? How come there are these red fruits in the snake's lair? Could this be the antidote for the snake venom?"
Lan Hua picked a red fruit and examined it carefully, unsure whether the fruit could be used as an antidote.
"Red Rose, what do you think?"
"Master, I'm not sure either. You decide what to do!"
Lan Hua sighed, "Oh well, since I've already been poisoned by snake venom, what's one more poison?"
After eating the red fruit, Lan Hua felt a sweet taste in her mouth.
"It's quite delicious!"
Lan Hua activated the Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique, hoping to speed up the refining of the fruit.
Half an hour later, Lan Hua felt her spiritual sense greatly enhanced and had returned to its pre-poisoning state, which made her overjoyed.
"This really is an antidote for snake venom!"
