For a moment, there were gusts of fishy wind and flying sand and stones.
Xiao Chen retreated violently, and when he looked carefully, he could see clearly... what was rushing towards him was a huge snake as thick as a bucket.
The big snake has a comb on its flat head, like a tentacle.
"A snake that has become a spirit?"
Xiao Chen was even more surprised when he saw this.
Then he reacted.
This big snake should be guarding the old ginseng... How could a treasure like this not attract powerful beasts?
Just now he was just thinking that since he had brought back all the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, there must be no danger, so he was careless.
Who would have thought that there was such a powerful beast.
"Big Snake, I have no intention of being your enemy..."
Xiao Chen shouted as he stepped back.
After all... this ginseng was guarded by the big snake, and it was taken away by the spiritual root of heaven and earth, which made him feel a little guilty.
Although it is said that whoever has the bigger fist can possess the things in the no-man's land, but... he still thought about not making an enemy of the big snake.
This giant snake is at least comparable to the third or fourth level of foundation building, and is definitely intelligent.
Therefore, Xiao Chen wanted to communicate with it first. If communication failed... he would talk about it later.
“Squeak…”
The big snake glared with its scarlet eyes, made a sound, and attacked more fiercely.
"Fuck, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Xiao Chen dodged the snake's bloody mouth and its long tail, feeling a little annoyed.
He thought he was already very kind, but in the end... this guy was a bit ungrateful.
"How about I give you a ginseng?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and took a step back.
Bang!
The long tail smashed down hard, and a large rock shattered.
"Oh shit……"
Xiao Chen cursed, this is not allowed?
You can't ask him to return both ginsengs, right?
How is that possible!
At the same time, he was a little puzzled. This big snake was so strong, how could it dare to take away the ginseng with Xiaogen's cowardly nature?
Then, he thought of something and looked at the spiritual root of heaven and earth... Could it be that this little guy was targeted by the big snake just now?
It's not impossible.
The value of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth is much greater than that of ginseng... Although they are both considered "roots", there is no comparison between the two.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's gaze towards the big snake changed.
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to do anything, the big snake saw the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and its eyes became even more ferocious, with a strong greed.
Swish.
It abandoned Xiao Chen and rushed towards the spiritual root of heaven and earth.
I let this little guy run away just now, but I didn’t expect him to come back again!
What made it even more annoyed was that it was confused just now... When it came to its senses, the ginseng it had been guarding for many years was gone.
"¥……&"
When the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root saw the giant snake coming towards him, he screamed and pounced on Xiao Chen.
“…”
Seeing this, Xiao Chen was speechless. This little guy... is he acting?
He didn't believe that the little guy would be like this when facing the big snake alone.
If he was really that scared, how could he possibly pull out two ginseng roots?
He felt that the spiritual roots of heaven and earth were like children, and he was the parent.
When parents are around, children cannot be independent. When encountering problems, the first thing they want is their parents' protection or help.
But when I'm alone, I can handle anything.
He didn't believe that... the spiritual root of heaven and earth had lived alone in the Dragon Emperor Secret Realm for so many years and was harmless to humans and animals.
If it were just able to run fast and be harmless to humans and animals...it would have been destroyed by other creatures long ago.
Even with his strength, didn't he fall into the trap at the beginning?
But when he thought about how, for so many years, the spiritual root of heaven and earth had been left alone, no, just one, helpless and helpless, tenderness flashed in his eyes again.
"I will be here to protect you from now on."
Xiao Chen hugged the spiritual root of heaven and earth, a golden light flashed, and the Xuanyuan Sword appeared.
Although the spirit of the evil dragon is still coiled on the sacred monument, the Xuanyuan Sword itself is also a divine weapon with extraordinary power.
Swish.
Xiao Chen slashed down with his sword, and murderous intent filled the air.
The big snake was startled, but when it saw the treasure falling into Xiao Chen's hands, it opened its bloody mouth and bit towards the Xuanyuan Sword.
Click.
The knife paused.
"court death!"
Xiao Chen's expression turned cold, and he exerted force suddenly, repelling the big snake.
Just now he was thinking that if the spiritual root of heaven and earth came and stole the ginseng of the big snake, the worst that could happen to him was... to return one.
After all, he grew up in the secular world and still has some moral bottom line.
We have no grudges against each other, and we are not enemies. How can you rob people for no reason? No, rob the snake's things?
But if it wants to eat the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, then... this will be a great grudge.
Ding ding ding…
Xiao Chen held the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth in one hand and the Xuanyuan Sword in the other, and chopped several times.
Although this giant snake is very powerful, it is still far behind the giant scorpion.
Especially in terms of defense, even with hard scales, they cannot stop the magic weapons!
Soon, the scales broke and blood splattered.
The big snake felt pain and quickly retreated, with a hint of fear flashing in its triangular eyes.
"It's still a magic weapon... I made it recently, and I thought it was a piece of junk."
Xiao Chen looked at the bloody snake, then at the Xuanyuan Sword, and muttered to himself.
"Go, take a rest over there. I'll take care of this guy first."
Xiao Chen said to the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
The Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth jumped down, sat down on a big rock, and then... crossed his legs.
“…”
Seeing this, Xiao Chen was speechless. Who did he learn this posture from?
"God is merciful and has killed many beasts since we came to the no-man's land. He doesn't want to kill you again... Now it seems that you have to die."
Xiao Chen retracted his gaze, looked at the big snake, and slowly raised his knife.
The big snake looked at Xiao Chen, full of fear and dread.
But when he looked at the spiritual roots of heaven and earth again, greed flashed across his mind again.
This little guy is so attractive.
It thought that since it had eaten the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, it would be able to transform into a pair of horns.
By then, it will become stronger.
"Dahan should like to eat it very much."
Xiao Chen thought of something, said another word, pushed hard with his feet, and killed the big snake.
The big snake shook, stirring up a fishy wind, and ignored Xiao Chen, rushing towards the spiritual root of heaven and earth.
It wanted to swallow the spiritual root of heaven and earth in one gulp and then escape quickly.
Seeing the giant snake coming again, the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth was startled and wanted to escape, but when he looked at Xiao Chen, he relaxed.
Even his crossed legs were shaking.
It believed that with Xiao Chen around, this big bug would definitely not be able to hurt it.
Swish.
Sword lights appeared in the sky, and a field appeared, covering the big snake.
The big snake's movements suddenly stopped.
One after another, knife shadows slashed down quickly.
Click, click, click…
Large pieces of scales shattered.
The big snake felt pain and had to stop, swinging its tail fiercely.
"cut!"
Xiao Chen shouted softly and slashed down with his sword.
Snap!
He chopped off a piece of the tail and blood gushed out.
“Ah…”
The big snake let out a shrill scream, and no longer cared about eating the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. It burst out with unparalleled speed and rushed towards the crack of the cliff beside it.
"Still want to escape?"
Xiao Chen sneered, his figure flashed, he appeared above the big snake, and slashed it down with another knife.
Seeing that it couldn't escape, the big snake roared and started fighting desperately.
The spiritual roots of heaven and earth on the big rock also disappeared at this moment.
Xiao Chen was a little puzzled. Where had the little guy gone? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?
However, thinking of the scene where the spiritual roots of heaven and earth did not dodge just now, he smiled again.
This is how much I trust him.
Ding ding ding…
Xiao Chen burst out with his fighting power and suppressed the injured snake.
Soon, the big snake was covered with wounds, and there was a hint of pleading in its eyes.
"It really has intelligence... But it's too late."
Xiao Chen shook his head. Since they were already enemies, he would not show mercy.
He is not a saint.
Swish.
With a flash of golden light, the Xuanyuan Sword pierced the snake's vital point, nailing it to the ground.
The big snake struggled, its wounds were torn, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Soon, the big snake stopped moving.
"God is merciful, but... the world is treacherous."
Xiao Chen glanced at the comb on the big snake's head. It should have lived for hundreds of years, right?
He shook his head, retracted the Xuanyuan Sword, and put the snake into the bone ring.
After finishing all this, he looked around. Why hasn't the little guy come out yet?
"Xiaogen..."
Xiao Chen shouted.
Soon, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth appeared, and there was another ginseng in his hand.
But, this ginseng...only half is left, and there are teeth marks on it.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh. Is this little guy going to get ginseng again?
"@%..."
The Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth stepped forward, broke open the ginseng, and handed a piece to Xiao Chen.
"Hehe, is this what you chewed before?"
Xiao Chen took it with a smile. It seemed that this big snake was guarding three ginsengs.
I don't know how many years it has been guarded, but now it has been plundered by the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
"Let's go."
Xiao Chen didn't want to go and check again. If there was still one, he would have brought the little guy out.
Since I only brought one this time, it must be gone.
"#%..."
The Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth jumped onto Xiao Chen's shoulder and continued to gnaw on the remaining ginseng.
Click…
It's like chewing a carrot.
"What a waste of natural resources..."
Xiao Chen took a look and shook his head.
However, he didn't say anything, because the ginseng was originally found by the little guy.
Besides... I guess in the little guy's eyes, ginseng is just something to eat.
The reason why I gave it to him was probably because I thought it tasted good and wanted him to have a taste.
Before, when you caught the centipede, didn’t you give it back to him to eat?
More than ten minutes later, Xiao Chen returned to where he was staying.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Lin sniffed and smelled blood.
"There was a big snake, and I killed it... That ginseng was what the big snake was guarding."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"This big snake also set its sights on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, but failed to deal with it. Instead, it let the small root rob the ginseng... In the end, it even lost its life."
"Haha, Xiaogen really follows you."
Bai Ye was happy.
"It's unlucky for this big snake to encounter it."
"Come on, everyone, share this half ginseng. It can improve your martial arts skills."
Xiao Chen took out half a piece of ginseng and handed it to Xiao Lin.
"Seventh Uncle, especially the few of you, eat more, and you will be more confident in building your immortal foundation."
"Um."
Xiao Lin took it and everyone shared it.
Ding Wu also grew a root, which was about the size of a finger.
"That's it... Whoever wants to leave, I won't leave even if you kill me."
Ding Wu ate while muttering to himself, and decided...even if he got out of the no-man's land, he would find a way to follow Xiao Chen.
