Chapter 76 Spirit Tree
Chapter 76 Spirit Tree
"Roar--"
The Thunder-Horned Python King raised his upper body, his cold vertical pupils filled with bloodthirsty cruelty, and the thick horn on his head suddenly released a dazzling thunder.
Rumble!
The lightning filled the sky with astonishing power, and it directly pierced through the Wind Spirit Snake Binding Formation, leaving a small gap.
"Taoyunzhan, get out!"
Yun Yangzi waved his sleeves, creating a peach-colored cloud barrier with gusts of fragrant wind, which successfully blocked the escaping lightning.
"Everyone, gather together and kill this evil beast!"
Even as he was speaking, four more thunder-horned pythons rushed out from behind, following the python king into the formation, with gusts of evil wind.
"Brother, give me the battle flag, and go into the snake nest to search for snake eggs and cubs!"
Li Quanshu has always known Li Quanqing's preferences, and she speaks at the right time and is considerate.
Li Quanqing quickly glanced at the battlefield, took out several stacks of life-saving talismans and handed them to them, then quietly left the battlefield.
Go straight to the snake's nest!
……
As soon as I entered the snake's nest, a pungent fishy smell suddenly entered my nose, making me dizzy.
"It's been a long time since these Thunderhorn Pythons took a bath. They probably eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the cave!"
The young man sighed slightly, held his breath, and let his magic power circulate in his meridians, absorbing spiritual energy through his pores to perform internal breathing.
Hearing that the Jade Armor has its own air circulation system and can filter out a lot of poisonous gases and miasma, he wants to get one in the future!
Li Quanqing activated his bronze bone body, and his bones expanded, turning into a small giant, wearing bronze armor and several layers of golden light.
The young man finally felt relieved and stepped into the cave.
Li Quanqing walked very fast. When he encountered obstacles like rocks, he would just punch them away, acting rudely and overbearingly.
Unfortunately, the snake's nest is extremely large, with various intricate circular passages and parts leading underground, making it like a vast maze.
He wandered around for a long time but still had no clue and found it difficult to find the core of the nest.
Rumble!
Just as Li Quanqing was becoming impatient and was about to take out the water dragon pendant to blow everything up.
The rumbling thunder sounded again, drilling into my ears from some unknown direction, and even the pebbles on the ground were shaking slightly.
"When the Thunder Horn Python advances to the late stage of Qi Refining, it must devour thunder."
"Thunder strikes from time to time in that direction. Even if we can't find the snake eggs or cubs, there should be treasures."
Li Quanqing made up his mind and groped towards the direction where the thunder sound came from with firm steps.
Facts have proved that his choice was right.
"hiss!!"
When turning a corner, a thunder-horned python suddenly fell from the sky with its mouth open. Its fangs were as sharp as daggers, and the single horn on its forehead emitted tiny flashes of lightning.
Li Quanqing had an expressionless face as he watched the giant python bite directly on the golden shield in front of him, making a dull thud.
The golden light fluctuated, and one of the Thunderhorn Python's fangs was directly shattered. A big bump appeared on its forehead, and it hissed and screamed in pain, with tears in its eyes.
"Hey, it turns out to be a young snake cub. It looks like I was on the right track."
Li Quanqing took a look at the python's body which was less than three meters long, grabbed the python's tail with his big hand, and swung it fiercely.
Crackling!
Along with a tooth-aching sound of bones cracking, the whole snake suddenly became limp as mud, with no more air coming in than coming out.
"Good boy, it doesn't hurt at all now~"
Li Quanqing stepped over the dead snake on the ground and continued to move forward. Another bolt of thunder fell with a rumbling sound.
The thunder was nearby and almost deafening.
A bit of dazzling lightning flashed ahead, appearing and disappearing, pointing the way for him.
Li Quanqing strode closer, and after passing through a large area of densely dark stone roads, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
An open-air cave appeared in sight, enough to see the sky above the island, which was covered with dark clouds. A silver-white thunder peach tree stood in the center, its bark cracked like scales, its tangled roots rooted in the soil, its leaves rustled, releasing flashes of lightning.
This is a magical medicine, and it looks like it is of high grade.
Li Quanqing didn't care much about it. His eyes were fixed on the snake's nest built with thick branches under the thunder peach tree.
Will there be the thunder-horned python cub that he has been thinking about so much?
Li Quanqing approached quickly and immediately heard the hissing of a young snake, which was rapid and sharp, with a hint of warning.
Four young snakes, more than half a meter long, coiled there, curled up in alertness, their scales about to explode, their pupils full of vigilance.
Li Quanqing frowned. He didn't expect that these snake cubs already had an enemy awareness. It would probably take some effort to raise them.
He was just about to pick up the snake cubs when, silently, another young thunder-horned python more than two meters long fell from the treetops with a bloodthirsty and ferocious look.
The Thunder-Horned Python had just opened its mouth when suddenly a green light streaked across the sky, nailing the triangular head of the python to the tree trunk with a clanging sound.
After the green light dissipated, it was clear that it was actually a magical weapon in the shape of a leaf, with the breeze lingering around it and an extremely sharp edge.
Li Quanqing looked at the person who came, and it turned out to be the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator "Tree Old Man" who was beside Wang Gujian.
"Fellow Daoist, whoever sees it gets a share, how about you and I split it equally?"
The old tree spoke with a smile, a hint of greed flashing deep in his eyes.
This is a Thunder-Horned Python cub. When it grows up, it will automatically enter the late stage of Qi Refining. It is the spiritual pet that many people dream of.
Li Quanqing snorted and was about to refuse when he glanced at the snake corpse nailed to the tree trunk, and suddenly a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"You want a cub? Sure, I'll give it to you, but this thunder peach tree must belong to me."
Li Quanqing calmly moved away from the spiritual tree, allowing the old man to focus his attention on the snake cub in his hand.
The old tree frowned and said, "After all, this is the spoils of war of fellow Taoists. How can I decide it?"
"Yun Yangzi killed the Thunder Horn Python King, and the harvest is enough. When the time comes, the three of us will advance and retreat together, which will be enough to take it down."
The old tree thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
"I'll give you one of these Thunderhorn Python cubs first, and I'll keep the rest, so that you don't regret it later and go to help the Yun family."
Li Quanqing threw a baby snake over as a sign of sincerity.
The old tree took it carefully, breathed a sigh of relief, and left contentedly.
Li Quanqing casually stuffed the remaining three-headed snake cubs into a sack and made sure there were no outsiders around.
He jumped onto the thunder peach tree in a few steps, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Among the lush branches, snake eggs were seen gleaming, absorbing the lightning emitted by the thunder peach tree, flickering and fading as if they could breathe.
Li Quanqing counted them and found there were seven snake eggs in total, an unexpectedly large number.
"These cubs witnessed their relatives being killed, so they must be filled with resentment. This is not conducive to their training as battle pets."
"The unborn snake egg is more suitable for me. My mind is like a blank sheet of paper, and I am closer to people."
Li Quanqing took out the prepared spirit beast bag, put all the snake eggs into it, put them in the bag, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"We can't let go of this Thunder Peach Tree either. It looks like the snake eggs need the help of this spiritual tree if they want to hatch."
"Besides, lightning-struck wood is rare and is definitely a top-quality material for refining equipment. The Third Elder will definitely like it very much."
Li Quanqing thought of the Li family’s supreme elder, the third elder’s brother “Li Kunlun”.
This awesome person has the top-grade thunder spiritual root.
Maybe, he could even get close to a powerful figure like a great monk who has reached the foundation-building stage.
The thunder peach tree was huge and could not be moved for the time being, so Li Quanqing put the bodies of the two juvenile thunder-horned pythons into the storage bag.
Only then did he pick up the sack and walked out of the snake's nest with satisfaction.
