Chapter 47: The mountain fire burns out and the white snake emerges

Not long after, a snake and a dog escaped from the mine. Hei Huang used a sail and flew into the sky, heading towards Yan Luojiang. Xu Hei ignored him and fled in another direction.

After chasing out of the mine, the group of termite-like creatures spread their wings and flew, but as soon as they were exposed to the sun, they immediately shrank back and returned to the cave.

Xu Hei watched the scene from afar, and his heart trembled.

This number was not enough to be described by a violent storm. I am afraid that any creature that went there would be gnawed to the bone.

After a long time, the group of termites all returned and disappeared from the range of spiritual consciousness.

Hei Huang landed with lingering fear, breathing heavily.

"How did you provoke this thing?" Xu Hei asked.

"I was just curious about what was under the mine, so I explored it. Who knew that these soul-eating ants would appear." Hei Huang complained.

"Soul-eating ants..."

Xu Hei had never heard of this thing, but he knew it was not easy to mess with just by hearing the name.

"Soul-eating ants specialize in eating spiritual stones. They usually gather under the mines and are in a dormant period. As long as a spiritual stone appears, they will wake up immediately and start biting people like crazy. Anything with spiritual energy is their target." Hei Huang explained.

Hearing this, Xu Hei suddenly realized, and then his heart skipped a beat.

He had taken out a spiritual stone before, and it was not an ordinary spiritual stone, but a square high-level spiritual stone!

Xu Hei took a deep breath and asked, "How far can this soul-eating ant sense the spiritual stone?"

"Ordinary spiritual stones are okay, only about a hundred meters away, but if it is an extremely rare high-quality spiritual stone, it can be smelled thousands of meters away, not to mention the top-quality spiritual stone, which will cause the entire ant colony to riot. Why, why are you asking this?"

Hei Huang looked at Xu Hei suspiciously.

"Nothing." Xu Hei shook his head repeatedly, feeling a little guilty.

He didn't know whether the square spiritual stone was a top-quality or a high-quality one, but it was very likely that he caused the ant colony to riot.

So, he still cheated Hei Huang?

No! You can't say that. This place was chosen by Hei Huang. He was the one who was asking for trouble by digging underground.

"I said this place was full of spiritual energy, why is there not even a demon beast? It turns out that there are soul-eating ants hiding underground!" Hei Huang shook his head and muttered.

Xu Hei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Hei Huang, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"I had a friend before. He saw a square spiritual stone. What grade is that spiritual stone?" Xu Hei asked sincerely.

Hei Huang narrowed his eyes, looked at Xu Hei for a few times, and smiled, "That was cut by hand. The spiritual stone cut from the whole spiritual vein is at least top-grade."

"Where can you get a top-grade spiritual stone?" Xu Hei asked again.

"Maybe you can get it by killing a Jindan-stage cultivator." Hei Huang smiled.

Xu Hei's face was ugly. The dragon statue only swallowed high-grade spiritual stones. It would take a long time to kill a Jindan-stage cultivator to feed it.

So, he was really lucky. Zhao Yidu actually had it.

"However, according to my guess, there should be a semi-abandoned spiritual vein deep under this abandoned mine. Maybe we can cut out a hundred or eighty high-grade spiritual stones."

Hei Huang seemed to be talking to himself and looked at Xu Hei, "Is your friend interested?"

Xu Hei chose to avoid it.

…………

The southern forest of Chu State.

After the wildfire raged for two months, it finally ushered in the rainy season in September.

This rain was particularly heavy, with rolling thunder, dark clouds pressing down on the city, pouring down, like a beast that had been holding back for a long time, venting its anger wantonly.

In just three days, the wildfire covering a wide area was completely extinguished, leaving only a scorched earth.

After that, a large number of cultivators entered the mountain to search for prey, or to find fertile soil to plant spiritual medicine.

The places burned by fire are extremely fertile and very suitable for farming.

Most of the monsters in the mountains were burned to death. Sometimes, some cultivators picked up the corpses of monsters and dug out the inner elixir. Some cultivators also picked up the remains of rare spiritual plants or found natural spiritual springs, which were very fruitful.

Without the cover of wild beasts and plants, everything was exposed to the outside, which was a windfall.

Led by the Snake Catching Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect, the Moving Mountain Sect, the Zixia Sect and other small sects of the next level all sent a large number of disciples to the deep mountains to train and search for treasures.

The Sitianjian also sent people to wait for the opportunity to open up wasteland and expand the land to expand new cities for the Chu State.

This is a human carnival.

Deep in the forest.

A two-meter-long white snake was hiding in a pool of mud, motionless, and dared not breathe.

She had many scars on her body, her snake bones were broken, and she was exhausted.

On the left and right, there was a human cultivator standing on a big tree, looking around, and his spiritual sense swept across the area.

"Brother, I am sure that the white snake disappeared near here. She was hit by my bone crusher and could not go far!"

One of the men who was as strong as a mountain said. He was carrying a huge hammer, with a strong back and a face full of flesh.

He was a disciple of the Moving Mountain Sect, Xue Hu, and was in the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

"This monster has swallowed five of our disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect. Today, we must skin it alive! Let it die slowly and alive!"

Another slightly shorter cultivator had a sinister look on his face. He held an iron hook in his right hand and had an iron chain hanging on his shoulder. He was a cruel person at first glance.

This person was also a disciple of the Backer Mountain Sect, Zhu Ze, and was in the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

In recent days, their Banshan Sect disciples have disappeared one after another, all of them were swallowed by the snake demon. The sect has issued an order that anyone who kills the snake demon will be rewarded with a great merit.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, conducted a carpet-style investigation, and their spiritual consciousness swept through areas one by one.

Gradually, they were getting closer and closer to the hiding place of the white snake.

Under the mud, the white snake gritted its teeth, and endless grief and anger surged in its heart.

This group of humans broke into their homes, slaughtered their compatriots, set fire to the mountains, and wanted to kill her.

If it were before, she had no concept of home at all, and didn't know what enemies and friends were.

But since she got enlightened, she understood, she understood everything.

In order to take revenge, she has swallowed one human monk after another, but her power is too insignificant! It is far from being able to compete with humans!

At the last moment of her life, the black figure emerged in her memory.

It was a big snake with pale golden pupils and special scales on its tail.

In this life, I am afraid there will be no chance to meet again.

Suddenly, a loud wolf howl was heard from a distance.

Then, fireballs flew out from the bushes and hit the approaching human monk.

"Damn it, it's this mixed-hair wolf again!" Xue Hu said angrily, and quickly dodged.

During the days when he was chasing the white snake, this mixed-hair wolf appeared from time to time, threw a few fireballs, and ran away after throwing them, luring him to chase.

If it weren't for the harassment from this wolf, he would have captured the white snake long ago.

He had no choice but to call his senior brother for help.

"Is this the demon wolf that can use fireballs? It's quite interesting."

Zhu Ze's eyes flashed, and he smiled sinisterly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three fireballs fell nearby, burning two large trees and hitting the two people. After the wolf king spit out the fireballs, he turned around and ran, shouting as he ran, as if asking them to chase.

"White snake, run quickly, I'll lure them." The wolf king sent a voice from afar.

"Hmm!"

The white snake took a deep breath, emerged from the mud, and moved forward quickly.

Zhu Ze looked at the fleeing white snake, then at the wolf king, and said coldly: "None of you can escape!"
