Chapter 110 The noble spirit lasts forever (End of Volume 1 + Summary at the end of Volume)

Chu Guo calendar, early May.

Xuan Yangzi, led hundreds of people from the Snake Catcher Sect, surrounded the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, intending to sacrifice three million ordinary snakes, but suffered a heavy defeat, with all the dead and wounded.

Since then, Xuan Yangzi has disappeared.

No one knows where he went. Maybe he found a secret place to heal his wounds, maybe he was ashamed to see people, or maybe he fled to another place.

Because no one left alive, the tragedy in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley was not known to the world until a week later.

Mid-May.

The Qin army broke through Chuyang City, defeated 800,000 Chu troops, and captured 500,000 prisoners, including 3,000 monks!

The southern region of Chu was completely occupied.

The core force of Chu, Si Tianjian, retreated to the capital. The defeat of the main force symbolized that this war had officially entered its end, and it was only a matter of time before the whole country fell.

This was destined to be a losing war, and the strength of the two sides was not at the same level.

If the Qin army had not not advanced rashly in order to reduce casualties, I am afraid that the city would have been broken a month ago.

The four major sects in the southeast, northwest, Kunlun, Penglai, Ice and Snow, and Snake Catcher did not send anyone to support, waiting for the change of dynasties.

These four sects have a long history, which can even be traced back to before the Chu State. The change of dynasties has long been commonplace.

The Qin army was very patient with the stubborn resistance of the cities of the Chu State. They would rather drag it out for several months, waiting for the people in the city to starve to death or surrender, rather than attack rashly.

What they want is a complete country, not ruins.

Of course, these are all later stories.

…………

This time, Xu Hei's coma did not last too long.

It took only three days for him to wake up. After building a perfect foundation, Xu Hei's physique was far superior to ordinary monsters, and he had the characteristics of the legendary beasts.

Xu Hei checked Xu Bai beside him and found that the other party was not injured, so he was relieved.

He picked up the bronze mirror beside him and observed it carefully. He found that the bronze mirror had lost its previous luster. He remembered that Hei Huang had said that it could only be used once.

The divine consciousness probed into it, but there was no response.

Xu Hei looked at his reflection in the mirror, sighed, and put it back into the light golden storage bag.

"Brother Xu, you're awake!"

Man Jin immediately flew over and stood in front.

"Thank you, Brother Man Jin, for your help this time!"

Xu Hei said sincerely.

"Brother Xu has killed so many enemies, I should thank you, not to mention that it was you who gave me those pills that made me dare to try to form a pill, you helped me!"

Man Jin was even more sincere.

Originally, Xu Hei had been very kind to him, and after this battle, Xu Hei's kindness was even more unrepayable.

He even wanted to give away a piece of his ivory, but Xu Hei tried his best to dissuade him, and then he gave up.

This time, although Xu Hei woke up, his condition had not yet fully recovered. Taking so many pills in a row had caused considerable sequelae.

Until now, he still felt a burst of soreness, whether it was bones or meridians, there were varying degrees of damage, and there were still many drug residues in his body.

He had no time to check during the previous battle, but now he found a big problem.

Xu Hei planned to stay in seclusion in Wanshe Valley for some time, and come out after adjusting to the best state.

"I still need to stay in seclusion for a few days." Xu Hei said.

"Haha, no problem, I will stay here. This valley is quite good, and I also want to consolidate my cultivation." Man Jin laughed.

Xu Hei nodded.

Man Jin is not a human, and has not experienced the intrigues of human sects. His mind is simple, which also creates a sincere heart.

Xu Hei immediately activated the Demon God Cauldron to absorb the remaining medicinal power in his body. At the same time, he operated the True Dragon Nine Transformations, refining it with all his strength, or expelling some useless substances from the body.

…………

In the blink of an eye, June came.

The breeding season of snakes is over, and most of the snakes in Wanshe Valley have left and returned to their respective soils.

Only a few snakes that have lived here all year round are left, and they all regard Xu Hei as their king.

Some of the hundreds of snake demons captured by Xuan Yangzi also left, and a few remained. For some unknown reason, they stayed in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley for a long time.

Whenever they saw Xu Hei, they lowered their heads.

Without any verbal communication, as long as Xu Hei gave them a look, they could understand the command and act according to his thoughts.

Xu Hei ignored these psychic snake demons. It was their own choice to leave or stay.

The environment here often attracts some natural enemies of snakes to fight and hunt.

In this regard, Xu Hei would not interfere too much. Natural environment, natural selection, as long as it is not as destructive as humans, he would not care.

During this period, Xu Hei carefully observed.

He found that in addition to the abundant spiritual energy and rare blessed land, the Ten Thousand Snake Valley seemed to contain a trace of dragon energy deep underground.

It may be that trace of dragon energy in the dark that attracts so many snakes every year.

But when Xu Hei drilled into the ground and explored downward, he could not sense it.

Xu Hei didn't understand. He was not a snake that would ask questions. Since he didn't find anything, it meant that the fate had not come yet. If he hadn't practiced the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, he wouldn't be able to sense the existence of dragon energy.

In the battle to kill the snake catcher, he harvested hundreds of storage bags, all of which were checked one by one by Xu Hei, and the things were classified and stored in the huge black jade space.

Xu Hei took out a part and gave it to Man Jin and also to Xu Bai.

Since Xu Bai woke up, he locked himself in the underground cave, concentrating on studying elixirs and completely immersed in it.

It seems that this injury was a big blow to her.

Xu Hei did not disturb her. He took out the formation flags left by Hei Huang and placed them around the cave to conceal her.

In this way, no one could find Xu Bai's trace.

Xu Hei regretted that he did not have the formation level of Hei Huang. Otherwise, he could imitate the human sect and set up a mountain protection formation, so that even if someone came, he could be prepared.

…………

That day, Xu Hei left the Ten Thousand Snake Valley.

He went to the snake catcher branch that he had passed by before and found that it had been emptied and there was not even a shadow of a person.

"Withdrawn?"

Xu Hei was puzzled. Normally, shouldn't the younger one die and the older one come? If the old one ran away, would the older one come?

He didn't know what was going on with the Snake Catcher Sect.

However, the world is changing now, and any sect is in the midst of a general trend. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stay out of it.

Xu Hei came to the Snake Village again.

The news that the southern region of Chu fell and the entire line was defeated had spread to every town and every village.

From now on, the Chu State may no longer exist.

Xu Hei is not a human being, and he cannot empathize with humans.

But that day, the scene of a mortal killing an immortal deeply affected him, so that he had the courage to fight against foreign invaders.

Xu Hei took out a stone tablet and erected it at the entrance of Snake Village.

These nameless people who used the power of mortals to go against the will of heaven and kill monks are worthy of respect!

This stone tablet is called the Immortal Beheading Tablet!

Xu Hei was not good at writing, so he engraved a mark with his divine thoughts and integrated it into the stone tablet. Only those who were destined could sense the hint of the rebellious artistic conception.

After that, Xu Hei came to the river again.

He erected a stone tablet, leaving behind the image of a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

The death of a person may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai.

In a trance, Xu Hei saw the scene of that day again.

A grain of dust fell into the river and was swallowed by the waves.

But this speck of dust stirred up a huge wave.

"Although you are dead, your deeds will be praised by future generations and will be passed down through the ages!"

Xu Hei bowed deeply to the stone tablet.

The mountains and rivers are vast, the sun and the moon change into the blue sky, although people die, their noble spirits live forever.

Xu Hei is about to embark on a new path.

——Volume 1, Dragon Scale Chapter, End!

[ps: I deleted the relationship between the old snake king and the protagonist in the previous chapter. Just treat him as a senior, and Xu Bai as a junior. 】

Summary and comments at the end of the volume:

I am quite satisfied with the ending of the first volume. This is the plot I designed from the beginning, starting with the snake village and ending with the snake village.

The difference is that the protagonist has changed. From running away when seeing people at the beginning, to being reckless when seeing people later (not really).

In short, the growing protagonist, whose personality also changes, is relatively rare in online novels.

This actually takes a big risk. The change of character also means that readers may not be able to accept it. For example, the initial flow of gouging can easily discourage some readers who like passionate articles, and those who come for the flow of gouging may not like reckless men.

But I think that as long as it is well written, there is no conflict in subject matter and style.

As for the female protagonist, I haven't decided whether to write it yet.

Many readers say that there must be no female protagonist. That is purely because many online articles have poor emotional dramas. The female protagonist is either a vase or a tool to attract hatred. The routine is bloody, which has caused many readers to have ptsd about the female protagonist and run away when they see it.

Some readers also said that the protagonist cannot become a human being, cannot empathize with others, blah blah.

I still say that.

As long as it is well written, there is no such thing as what can be written and what cannot be written.

I have written snakes with female protagonists and those without female protagonists, and I don't see any difference.

In the final analysis, content is king.

Why are many brain hole articles and gimmick articles very popular at the beginning, but easy to collapse later?

The ideas are temporary, and only if the story itself is good enough can it retain readers.

In the second volume, the protagonist will not stay in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, but will go to other places and do other things. It is easy to get tired of being a copycat king all the time.

He may go to the deep sea and some human sects, but it will never be clichéd.

The usual content is mainly light-hearted and refreshing. People also like to read some funny things. A serious ending is enough.

At the end of each volume in the future, I will make a summary. It is estimated that there are 250,000 words in the nine realms, and at least two or three million words can be written... probably.

Off topic:

Next month I plan to change the title of the book to a short one. At present, this title is a bit discouraging. Although more people click in, many people read a few pictures and run away after swallowing the Immortal Emperor, which is very speechless.

In fact, the Immortal Emperor is useless. It is just a gimmick. He may be pulled out to play the resurrection match later to play the residual heat.
