Chapter Thirty-Six

  Zhou Ziran left, and Cheng Zihan was down for two days before regaining her spirits. Anyway, they would still have the chance to meet again in the future, and now wasn't the time for her to be sad.

  The bamboo shed by the river has been set up, and recently there hasn't been any snake sneaking around to attack the workers who built the shed. Maybe that snake was bitten by a swallow and suffered serious injuries, and it still hasn't recovered yet.

  Cheng Zihan went to take a look and found that the bamboo shed was built very solidly, even if it had been flooded with water, it would not easily collapse.

  Li Lan has already driven all the ducks over, but in just a few days, dozens of ducks have been lost, most of which were caught by Lai Ying to be killed and eaten.

  The little ducks seem to like their new environment very much, swimming happily in the water, occasionally diving into the water and then popping out with a wet body.

  Li Lan said she wanted to live in the bamboo shed, but Zixuan thought of the situation in the bamboo forest, where there were too many snakes, and at night he was afraid they would crawl onto the bed. Li Lan was also a weak and timid woman, and when the time came, she would definitely not have any strength to resist. If something unexpected happened, what would be good?

  Cheng Hai often has to travel on business and is away from home for more than half of every year.

  However, there are still many things to be planted here later, and someone is always needed to guard them.

  Cheng Zihan glanced in the direction of the bamboo forest, and the sky silkworm had already started licking its tongue.

  "Tiansan, are you sure you can get rid of it this time?" What Cheng Zihan said was naturally referring to that snake from last time.

  Tian Can nodded with effort, "No problem."

  He licked his lips as he spoke.

  After repeated confirmation, the two people walked in together.

  The bamboo forest is very quiet, with some shade, and from time to time a frog jumps in front of you, or a spider suddenly falls from the top of the bamboo.

  The swallowtail butterfly sniffed its nose, darting aimlessly in the bamboo forest. After a while, it finally stopped at one spot, shook its body and transformed back into that big white caterpillar, burrowing underground again.

  It's been half a day without any news, and Cheng Zihan is also getting anxious, with some sweat seeping out of his palms.

  Before long, the swallow appeared again, with a small snake of various colors in its mouth. The snake's body was already limp and had no breath left.

  The heavenly silkworm quickly transformed back into human form, eating the small snake mouthful by mouthful, with an expression of not being satisfied yet.

  After finishing eating, he looked at Cheng Zihan and said, "Sister Zihan, I'll tell you, there's another big one down there, but that guy is too big, I couldn't bite it, and it seems to be sleeping."

  Cheng Zihan was shocked by the words, hoping that the big guy wasn't the father or mother of the little guy who had just been eaten, otherwise they would come back to avenge them later.

  "What if we're in trouble? Let's go ask Mangcang quickly." Cheng Zihan said, pulling Tiansan into the bamboo forest again and quickly entering the tree spirit space.

  Qin Kexiu is working hard on his cultivation and has been rarely seen lately. Cheng Zihan hasn't seen him either.

  He came in and saw Meng Chong sitting under a big tree, fanning himself. When he saw Cheng Zihang and Tian Can coming, he got up and walked towards the two of them.

  "How come you're so free today?" Mang Cang glanced at Tian Can, feeling a bit puzzled in his heart, always thinking that today's Tian Can seemed a little different.

  "Something's wrong, it seems like we've gotten into trouble." Cheng Zihan said hastily, then told everything that had happened with the colorful little snake, and how the sky silkworm had eaten the little snake, and about the giant snake sleeping underground.

  "What's going on? I think that big guy isn't so simple, will he come out to take revenge on us later?" Cheng Zihan still had some worries in her heart.

  This creature is vengeful and may bring harm to others when the time comes, there are thousands of villagers here, if innocent people get involved, it's trouble.

  "How can you be so reckless? You didn't even come to ask me first!" Mang Cang also became anxious after hearing Cheng Zihan's description.

  "You're such a coward, what's there to be afraid of? If worst comes to worst, I'll just eat it too." Tiansan said with disdain.

  "Shut up, you big-headed ghost! Unless you're already in your mature form, do you think you can handle it? But I think it's probably heavily injured and unconscious, won't wake up for a hundred years. As long as we don't disturb the bamboo forest above, nothing will happen. You all behave yourselves from now on! Do what you're supposed to do and stop causing trouble for me! I'll go down and take a look at the situation first."

  Mang Cang finished speaking and hastily flashed away.

  The swallow poked out its tongue and had an innocent look on its face.

  Cheng Zihan slapped him on the head, "See, you've done a good deed! If that big guy comes out and kills thousands of villagers nearby, what will you do?"

  And I don't know what this big guy is, but it's definitely not a good thing. When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't just harm the nearby villages, but will also run to more distant places, which would be a big trouble.

  "Then I'll hurry up and grow up quickly, so I can deal with it!" Tian Can said with a face full of drool, staring at Cheng Ziheng, the implication was very clear.

  This guy wants to drink his own blood again!

  "Get out! You're completely useless, yet you still drink my blood every day. Do you think I'm a blood bank or something? You can get fresh supplies every day? What if I die?" Cheng Zihan slapped Tiancan with a bad temper.

  This bug seems to have no great use, saying it can beautify, but its beauty effect is too against the sky, it can make people who are disfigured instantly restore their appearance. If this were to spread, I'm afraid people from all over the world would come to kill her and rob her. And then there's the suppression of cancer cells, now cancer is still a notorious incurable disease in the world, if someone knew she had a treasure that could cure cancer, I'm afraid even heads of state would come to rob her.

  It seems that there is only one way to improve the survival rate of plants and animals, I'll try putting some blood on it another day.

  Just as Cheng Zihan was thinking about it, Mangcang had already returned.

  "It's okay, that big guy has been sealed away down there. As long as we don't disturb this place and break the seal, nothing will happen."

  After confirming, Cheng Zihan also let out a sigh of relief. However, he was unexpectedly sealed underground and had no idea what kind of demon it was. It seemed that things wouldn't be simple after all.

  It's a good thing she invested in this land, otherwise if those people with unknown backgrounds had invested, who knows what they would have done here.

  Just as she was thinking, a noisy sound came from outside. Cheng Zihans heart moved and he had already come out of the tree spirit space. Listening to the sound, it seemed to be coming from the bamboo shed. With some doubts in her mind, she hurried over.
