Chapter 254 Too Careless
"In fact, most of the so-called evil spirits are ghosts who are too obsessed and can't let go of the hatred in their previous lives. A small number of them are incomplete souls infected by evil spirits. The copper-scaled snake does not eat everything, it only eats those who are hopeless."
Zhong Ling'er turned her head and looked at the copper-scaled snake, smiling sweetly, "Am I right?"
The copper-scaled snake tilted its head and did not refute.
"The guardian beast of the underworld is very powerful. If you wanted to eat us, those people would not be able to escape. But they were just taught a lesson by you. So, you don't want to be our enemy, or we are nothing in your eyes, and you don't bother to care about us. Am I right?"
The bronze snake nodded.
He actually responded to Zhong Ling'er, and many people felt relieved. It turned out that this was the divine beast from the underworld. Wait, how did the divine beast from the underworld come to the world of immortal cultivation?
Zhong Ling'er thought for a moment and asked, "You are a divine beast. With your cultivation, you can understand human language, which means you can speak. But if you don't speak, does that mean you can't speak?"
The copper-scaled snake nodded. It seemed to like Zhong Ling'er very much. The huge snake head drooped and came to Zhong Ling'er little by little.
Many people took a few steps back. The snake's head was too big and too oppressive. Even though they knew it had no ill intentions, they were still afraid.
Zhong Linger did not retreat, but became even more curious. The Bronze-Scaled Snake was only recorded briefly in ancient books and was equivalent to a divine beast from the fairyland. It was not something that the Dragon King, who had not yet ascended to heaven, could contend with. So, what could prevent it from making a sound?
"It blocked its aura and didn't dare to let the Heavenly Dao detect it, so it didn't dare to make a sound, otherwise it would not be able to stay in the Immortal Cultivation World!"
The will of heaven was explained in Zhong Linger's sea of consciousness.
"It's so big, but the Heavenly Dao doesn't know about it. Is the Heavenly Dao blind?"
"Of course I'm not blind, but I can close one eye!"
"So it's good for this world if it stays here, right?"
Zhong Ling'er immediately grasped the key point, and when she thought about the uncontrollable evil spirits in the South China Sea, the answer came immediately!
"Are you here for the evil spirit cave in the South China Sea?"
Zhong Ling'er was very sure of this answer, but the Copper-Scaled Snake shook its head, which made Zhong Ling'er frown. This shouldn't be the case. Isn't the Copper-Scaled Snake supposed to deal with evil spirits?
Seeing Zhong Ling'er's confusion, the copper-scaled snake nodded. Zhong Ling'er's eyes lit up, "Are you saying that you came here for something under the sea?"
The copper-scaled snake nodded and raised its head again.
Zhong Ling'er pulled Ouyang Ruochen and said, "Big Brother, please accompany me to the bottom of the sea to take a look."
Ouyang Ruochen nodded, pulled Zhong Ling'er into the sea, and continued swimming downstream.
The copper-scaled snake was really huge, and its body was coiled under the sea. Zhong Ling'er swam downstream along its body for a long time before she reached the bottom of the sea and saw the coiled snake's tail, which was blocking a crack.
Ouyang Ruochen and Zhong Ling'er looked unhappy. The snake's tail was so big, but it could only block the wider part of the crack. The crack, which spread for nearly a hundred miles, was already emitting black water. From time to time, a ghost claw stretched out from the gap. It was obvious that soon, an evil spirit would crawl out from here.
When did such a long crack appear on the seabed?
No wonder the Copper-Scaled Snake said it was not coming for the Evil Spirit Cave. Compared with this crack, the Evil Spirit Cave is as big as a tennis ball and is not worth the Copper-Scaled Snake's efforts at all.
The strong water pressure made Zhong Ling'er feel very uncomfortable. Seeing that his junior sister's face turned red, Ouyang Ruochen immediately took her upstream and rushed back to the surface as quickly as possible, which made Zhong Ling'er feel better.
Adjusting her breathing, Zhong Ling'er asked the copper-scaled snake, "I saw the situation on the seabed. You didn't let us go forward because you were worried about the danger ahead, so you did it for our own good. But they attacked without saying anything, so you attacked to scare them away, right?"
The copper-scaled snake nodded again, blew gently, and moved the boat where Zhong Ling'er was a few feet back, meaning that she should take her people away quickly.
Zhong Ling'er looked at Mo Qi and didn't know what to say to him. This man was too careless and lost a boat in vain.
Mo Qi's face turned red and he lowered his head, wishing he could dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with his toes.
But Zhong Ling'er didn't plan to leave. She wanted to get the inheritance, and this was the fastest way. Besides, she couldn't just ignore the crack. Black water would seep in, and she didn't know if it would pollute the South China Sea and cause the aquatic creatures in the South China Sea to mutate. She had finally achieved seafood freedom, and she wanted to come and eat it often.
So Zhong Ling'er had the boat sail back to its original location, and then said to the copper-scaled snake: "Thank you for your kindness, but we can't just leave like this. The situation down there is very bad. I can't think of any good solution now, but we can use the formation to seal the smaller cracks for a while. However, the area is too large and it is on the seabed. We don't have the ability to activate the formation, so we need your help."
The copper-scaled snake nodded, and its dark red eyes softened a little.
Zhong Ling'er called all the instrument cultivators together. She drew the runes, and the others worked together to refine the formation disk.
In fact, setting up the formation in the sea would be the most effective, but she couldn't stay on the seabed for too long, so she could only use the formation disk instead. However, the seabed was either hard rock or soft sand, and the formation disk was difficult to fix, and it wouldn't stay there for too long, so this was only a temporary solution.
The monks outside the Taiqiong Mirror have already shouted.
"Oh my god, the situation in the South China Sea is so bad. In addition to the hole, there is also such a big crack."
"The guardian beasts of the underworld have all been dispatched. What are we waiting for? The situation in the world of immortal cultivation is already very critical."
"But what can we do if we don't wait? Don't you see that the copper-scaled snake is just blocking the way and can't do anything?"
"It has to be the junior sister. She figured things out in a short time. Although she is the youngest, she is the most patient. The others still lack experience."
"Okay, just tell Mo Qi and the others that they are stupid. Didn't you see that the young master of Beiling City said that Junior Sister is a smart person?"
"Look, this is how the formation plate is made. The runes inside were all drawn by Junior Sister. She is so amazing."
The noble families in Zhongzhou were very dissatisfied. They had always been high and mighty with a strong sense of superiority, and they could not stand the idiotic looks from other states, so they pointed their spearheads at Patriarch Li and True Man Tianming.
Many people have expressed regret for choosing the Li family as the team leader. The Li family transferred power privately and betrayed their trust. The key point is that the chief of Tianji Pavilion is too incompetent. Compared with the smart and lovely Zhong Ling'er, the gap is too big to bear.
City Lord Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had hesitated for a moment whether to stand with Tianji Pavilion or Zhong Ling'er, but finally let his son lean towards Zhong Ling'er. Now it seems that this risky move was the right one. At least, Beizhou would not have to accompany Zhongzhou in embarrassment.
