Chapter 134 Snake Valley and Snake Fruit
Chen Nuo arranged for people to take the bodies of his companions back.
Then he did not rush to deal with the bodies of these strange beasts, but looked at the dark bushes.
It was not normal for this place to raise so many strange beasts. Maybe there was some chance?
It would not hurt to try.
Chen Nuo took Chen Yong, who had recovered a part of himself, and some soldiers and walked into it.
This place was darker than the woods outside, and the trees were extremely lush. If it were not for the traces of the snake king crawling, it would be difficult for normal people to get in and out from here.
Chen Nuo and others did not walk far before they came to a valley.
After arriving here, Chen Nuo was surprised, and Chen Yong, Wei Shuao and others around him were even more shocked.
In the valley, dense groups of snakes were surging and mating in the pool.
And next to it, there was a huge concave hole on the rock wall of the valley, and in the concave hole were all pigeon egg-sized snake eggs!
In the valley, there was only one gray-black tree with a bulging trunk like tendons.
The tree was tightly against the rock wall, but some of its roots and branches spread to the pool, like a single tree forming a forest.
Chen Nuo waved his hand to stop everyone and observed quietly.
Just then.
The group of snakes that were mating in the pool seemed to have ended their mating, and some of the slightly larger female snakes returned to the cave.
Most of the remaining male snakes were still in the pool.
But the atmosphere became wrong.
When the first snake bit another snake, the melee began!
The slippery snakes opened their mouths and bit their companions. The blood, accompanied by the corpses and the stench of venom, gradually dyed the pool black.
At the edge, Chen Nuo and others watched closely.
Chen Nuo's eyes had already shifted from the fierce battle between the group of snakes to the strange tree.
With his enhanced five senses, he could clearly see that the swollen veins on the tree were trembling slightly!
The more the snakes in the pond fought, the greater the amplitude of its tremor!
The sky had completely darkened.
The veins on the tree now showed a strange glowing light gray-black color. The corpses in the pool gradually disappeared, and the water in the pool became clear again.
Correspondingly, three fist-sized black-gray fruits appeared in the tree crown.
The snakes spit out their tongues and looked at the fruit.
But no one dared to go over and eat it, as if waiting for someone.
...
Chen Nuo looked at the fruit and finally understood.
The so-called group of strange beasts was born because of this thing.
I am afraid that a special symbiotic relationship has been formed between the snake group and the tree. The snake group kills each other and provides nutrients. The strange tree absorbs nutrients and gives birth to fruits. The snake king eats the fruits and gives some scattered fruits to other snakes.
The number of snakes will not get out of control, and the strange tree will always have people to feed it.
This is a cycle. The number of snakes remains unchanged, but the quality is getting higher and higher, and the strange tree is also growing continuously.
And now... the cycle is broken.
The snake king and the strange beast snakes were gone.
After a glance, the snakes had not swallowed the fruit for a long time, and the frequency of the snakes spitting out their tongues increased significantly.
"Yongzi, Shuao, you take the people and go first, I'll be back soon."
"Ah? But..."
"Hehe, a group of snakes that have no strange beasts, what threat do you think they can pose to me?"
Hearing this, the two of them were relieved and left with their people.
After they left, Chen Nuo looked at the fruit again.
What I just said to them is indeed one of the reasons, but not all.
There is nothing to be afraid of these snakes. They may not even be able to bite their own skin. The problem is whether the strange tree has the ability to attack? To be safe, Chen Nuo decided to try it first.
As for why the army was not mobilized?
Hehe.
This is a recyclable treasure!
Although it is not known how often the snake fruit is born, it is worth saving this self-recycling treasure alone.
Chen Nuo rose and fell, and caught a wolf nearby.
It's not that they don't want to catch other beasts, but the beasts like tigers have disappeared in this area. It should be a problem of territory division.
In the valley, a group of snakes surged.
Without the pressure of the snake king, the group of snakes would not obey each other. A group of cold-blooded animals have begun to crawl towards the strange tree.
And the strange tree did not react at all.
Chen Nuo swung hard and threw the wild wolf towards the strange tree.
"Awoo???"
Accompanied by a shrill wolf howl, the wild wolf hit the exposed roots of the strange tree.
The lame wild wolf was surrounded by a group of snakes and had to choose to approach the strange tree.
Until the end, the group of snakes shared the wild wolf, and the strange tree did not move at all.
At the edge of the valley, Chen Nuo smiled.
The internal force surged under his feet.
After a few ups and downs, he came to the pool. The group of snakes surged, but no snake could touch the corner of Chen Nuo's clothes.
Chen Nuo, who had internal force, easily climbed to the treetop and got two fruits, but he did not touch the third one.
Looking at the snakes behind him swarming to fight for the fruit that fell on the ground, with no intention of chasing him, Chen Nuo sneered and left here flexibly.
Beasts are beasts.
Perhaps only by becoming a strange beast can people look up to them.
…
Chenjiazhuang.
The body of the snake king and more than 20 strange beast snakes have been brought down.
Thanks to Chen Yong, otherwise the huge body of the snake king would be difficult for these more than 200 people to carry.
This is how they pushed a cart from the village to dismember the snake corpse and carried it down. Otherwise, if they didn't have tools, hehe...
"I knew you didn't come back to worship your ancestors."
Old Jin looked at the huge snake corpse on the ground, speechless.
Chen Yong touched his head and laughed foolishly.
"Okay, wash up quickly, the blood is sizzling. By the way, where is A Nuo?"
"Brother Nuo said he would be back in a while."
"In a while? Isn't he back now?" Old Jin pointed to a figure speeding towards them on the dirt road outside the village.
"Wow, it's really fast, it came here in a few seconds, A Yong, where are you?"
Old Jin looked at Chen Yong.
"Ah?"
Chen Yong looked bitter. Even if he didn't wear armor, he couldn't run so fast...
With Chen Nuo coming back, a series of work such as cutting meat, skinning, and pulling out tendons were carried out in an orderly manner.
Just when Chen Nuo was still dancing with the snake in Chenjiazhuang.
...
Yang County.
The name of the Red Dust Sect resounded throughout the county!
At this moment, if you walk on the road, you will even find a strange sight.
There is no beautiful girl or handsome boy!
Those wealthy families also closed their doors to visitors.
At the inn.
A bearded man wearing a bamboo hat, a knife on his waist, and full of wildness was drinking wine and eating leeks and mutton.
His ears moved slightly.
The diners next to him were gossiping about something.
"... Hey, don't disbelieve it!"
"The disciples inside are all very powerful. The service, hey, do you know the water snake waist? Do you know the poisonous dragon drill? Do you know the saint girl, the demon girl? Do you know the refusal but still welcome? A talented woman who is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
"You are just bragging. How can her Hongchen Sect cultivate such a disciple?"
"Hush, have you forgotten? The Hongchen Sect is now a big boss..."
