Chapter 22 Uninvited Guests in the Forest

In addition to the magic jade slips, there are also a small number of talismans, elixirs, a magic weapon, and a snake fruit tree in the storage bag.

And a booklet called the Record of Ten Thousand Snakes, which records tens of thousands of snakes and hundreds of snake monsters, all of which the snake catcher has encountered.

There are detailed introductions to the characteristics of each snake.

Xu He simply looked at it and found his own species.

"Black Yin snake, slightly poisonous, likes shade, two meters long when adult, and can reach five meters when transformed into a snake monster..."

"...The strongest black Yin snake that the snake catcher has encountered is a snake monster in the foundation-building period, reaching 18 meters long, with demonic fire in its body, which can spray fire poison, and ordinary people will die if they touch it!"

"In the end, this snake was beheaded by the thirteenth generation ancestor and refined into elixir."

Xu He looked at this record and was secretly shocked.

"It turns out that I am a black Yin snake, but there is no record of the scales on my tail, not even in the Record of Ten Thousand Snakes."

Xu He was puzzled.

He also discovered that when the black snake reaches adulthood, it will swallow fire-type medicinal herbs to help give birth to demonic fire. If there is a breeder, feed it as appropriate.

The jade slip also specifically noted which fire-type medicinal herbs there were.

"Fire-type medicinal herbs? When I came back, I seemed to have seen a ground-flame vine!"

Xu Hei recalled that he saw a red vine on a rocky mountain, but the demonic energy there was strong and his scales had not yet grown, so it was not advisable to take risks.

All precious medicinal herbs are guarded by demonic beasts.

To be on the safe side, Xu Hei planned to wait until his scales were fully grown before going again.

Before that, it is better not to go out.

In the human storage bag, there are rations and pills for him to take, which can support him for a long time.

Although the snake fruit tree had a broken branch and no leaves, it seemed not to be dead yet. Xu Hei found a place with soil and planted it.

In the beast-repelling circle, Xu Hei had erased his consciousness and engraved his own mark.

He studied it for a long time and found that as long as this thing is put around the neck, it can control any living being and make it act according to his will.

Even humans are treated equally.

Of course, it can only control the body, and the mind cannot be changed.

Finally, Xu He took out a golden jade slip.

This jade slip is the only thing he cannot understand. Even if he uses his spiritual consciousness to the fullest, he cannot penetrate it, as if there is a seal inside.

Although Xu He is very curious, in order to prevent it from being used for tracking and positioning, Xu He directly smashed it with the scales on his tail.

"Crack!"

The jade slip shattered, a golden light spread out, and turned into nothingness.

Xu He ground the jade slip into powder and threw it into the pool next to it.

"First, I need to practice the method of escaping, earth escape technique and water escape technique, which are the first priority."

"Secondly, the fireball technique is used to destroy the corpse, which is the second priority."

"Third, the gravity technique is used to take things from a distance, so I don't need to use my tail or mouth to take things."

Xu Hei made a detailed practice plan in his mind.

As for the wind blade technique, lightning strike technique, and turtle breathing technique, they are advanced techniques. The jade slip says that they can be practiced at least in the late stage of Qi Refining, so I will not consider them for the time being.

Xu Hei lay on a piece of mud, silently chanting a spell in his heart, and the spiritual energy in his body flowed out, along the meridians, and passed out of the body surface to form a seal.

"Earth escape technique!"

As soon as he thought about it, his lower abdomen immediately sank an inch underground, but he could not sink any further.

The first experiment was effective, and Xu Hei was happy in his heart. He still had some talent.

…………

A hundred miles away, Wanshe Valley.

Chen Daoling appeared in Wanshe Valley again.

But this time, he had an extra compass in his hand.

This compass has the effect of divination. He spent a lot of money to borrow it from a friend of the Sitianjian.

Chen Daoling touched the compass, and suddenly, a phantom of a black snake was cast into the compass.

This phantom of the black snake was depicted by Zhao Wenzhuo's consciousness, and it has 80% of Xu Hei's charm.

Not long after, the compass began to rotate, circle after circle.

Finally, the compass needle swung left and right in one direction, and the swing amplitude became smaller and smaller, but it could not stop.

"If you have the skin fragments or blood of that creature, the accuracy rate will be high. If it is just a projection, this destiny compass cannot accurately measure it."

These are the original words of the friend.

Chen Daoling's face immediately darkened.

Then, he measured the jade slip of the snake catcher's skills and found that he could not locate it at all, indicating that the jade slip was destroyed.

"What a cunning monster, I still don't believe that I can't find you!"

Chen Daoling searched in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley to see if he could find the bloodstains left at the beginning.

…………

Unconsciously, a month passed.

During this period, Xu Hei had been practicing magic in seclusion.

His earth escape technique had reached a certain level. He did not rely on his physical body, but only on his spiritual power to escape underground. His speed was much faster than Mu Yun's.

This showed that he was still talented in magic, and was no worse than humans.

But Xu Hei also had a disadvantage, which was the amount of true energy.

After all, he was only at the fourth level of the spiritual stage, just in the middle stage, barely qualified to practice, and the earth escape technique could only last for an incense stick of time.

It was okay as a trump card for escaping.

In terms of fireball technique, Xu Hei made no progress, and only a small flame appeared.

"It's time to find that fire-type medicinal material!"

Xu Hei thought of the Earth Flame Vine. Now that a month had passed, his scales had all grown back and he had practiced magic, it would be fine to go and take a look.

Immediately, Xu Hei left the cave and came to the outside world.

It was already June and the weather was getting hotter.

After Xu Hei's half-year of grazing, the species on his two hills gradually became richer. Xu Hei casually glanced and found a group of mountain goats climbing on a cliff.

Xu Hei casually caught a sheep, refined it with the Demon God Cauldron, ate and drank enough, and went straight to the destination.

The place was not far away, and Xu Hei only took an hour to get there.

This was an exposed rocky terrain with no trees nearby, resulting in a high temperature. The red vine grew in the middle of the rock and absorbed the high temperature of the sun within a radius of 100 meters.

It was the Earth Flame Vine recorded in the jade slip!

Xu Hei wanted to use the earth escape technique to get closer, but found that the rock was solid and it was difficult to drill into the ground.

"Go!"

Xu Hei took a deep breath, spread his consciousness, and rushed out with all his strength, turning into a black line and rushing towards the earth vine.

"Awooo!"

Suddenly, a loud roar of an animal came from a distance, and a silver figure ran wildly, galloping towards them.

Precious spiritual medicine must be guarded by a demon beast.
