Chapter 104: The Great Snake

  Chen Ji shook his head: "Don't mention those useless things, let's hurry up and find a good place, then pick some herbs. After all this trouble, I estimate it won't be long before we can go back."

  Speaking of going back, Li Xinyu suddenly said: "Chen Jiu, what about that Di Ze we caught earlier?"

  Said Di Shui, Chen Jiu suddenly slapped his forehead: "Damn it, I forgot about him".

  As Chen Jiu's voice fell, a mound of earth suddenly appeared on the ground, constantly shuttling back and forth on the earth, and soon arrived at Chen Jiu's feet. Suddenly, this mound of earth burst out with a loud noise, and a big rat rushed out, no, it should be a big mouse, which was actually Di Shui, but it didn't look like a mouse at all, instead it looked like a koala.

  "The master, I've been here all along, but you never left. Although the master forgot about me, I've always been waiting by your side." The earthworm bowed its head, looking quite comical.

  "What is this?" Yi Xiao Xiao looked down at Di Ze Road.

  Chen Jiu's relationship with Yi Xiao Xiao has basically improved, especially after discovering that Yi Xiao Xiao is a woman. Chen Jiu no longer holds it against him, men should be more magnanimous.

  "This is a thief, a very vicious little thief, I spent a lot of effort to catch him" Chen Jiu crouched down and heavily kicked the ground with his feet.

  "Master, stop kneading, or it'll become a ball. I can look for the spiritual medicine and herbs," Di Sheng said in a low voice.

  Really?

  "So fierce."

  Li Xinyu and Yi Xiaoqiao walked one after another.

  Seeing Chen Jiu's gaze, Di Shui, who had originally wanted to show off, shrunk his neck: "Of course it's true, the master is right here, how dare I play with the master".

  Chen nodded and looked at the branches not far away: "Let's get some branches, weave a medicine basket, and when we go back, it's also good to pick more herbs".

  "I won't write it, will you?" Xiao Xiao turned her gaze towards Li Xinyi.

  Li Xinyi shook her head and looked at Chen Jiu: "We won't weave baskets either."

  "Not us, just you two don't know how." Chen Jiubai waved his hand and first broke off a branch.

  "Look, he can even weave a backpack. This kind of delicate work can only be learned by girls, and yet he admits to not being a girl." Yi Xiao said, folding branches while secretly glancing at Chen Jiu who was weaving a backpack on the mountain, complaining to Li Xin Yi.

  Li Xinyi chuckled and didn't say much else.

  Chen Jiu had been a mountain bandit for eight years and didn't know how many carrying poles he had made, this time it was an easy job.

  It didn't take half a day's work, and the backpack was already made. Looking at Li Xinyi and Chen Jiuzai who were still folding wooden strips, Chen Jiu shouted: "Alright, the backpack is done, no need to waste any more flowers and grasses."

  Yi Xiao and Li Xinyi stopped in their tracks, walked over to take a look at Chen Jiu's backpack, Yi Xiao bent down to hold the bamboo basket in his arms, turned around and said: "Not bad, this craftsmanship is not bad, it can be used to make a living in the future".

  Chen Jiuxian snatched the bamboo basket from Xiao Xiao's arms and put it on his back: "I have the first floor of wealth, advancing with gold every day, why bother making a living by weaving bamboo baskets".

  Chen Jiuyi lightly kicked the ground and said: "Hurry up and get back to work".

  With a loud splash, it scurried out and instantly burrowed into the ground.

  Three people followed closely behind Di Shui, Yi Xiao Xiao looked at the young man in front of her who was carrying a bamboo basket on his back. Although he wasn't particularly handsome, he was still pleasant to look at, especially his skin which was so fine it would make even a goddess jealous.

  Looking at the high mountain, Chen Jiusan and others stopped in their tracks. Di Shengzi drilled out from the ground and pointed upwards: "Boss, it's up there."

  "This mountain is barren and desolate, with hardly any plants growing here. Are you sure there's a herb?" Chen Jiudao said.

  "I guarantee this thing, if there's no medicinal herb on this mountain, Boss, you'll roast me and eat me!" Di Shui patted his chest with a loud slapping sound.

  Chen nodded and walked step by step towards the mountain.

  Several people have martial arts cultivation on their bodies, and this distance is nothing.

  "A half-step divine medicine, what a pity!" Chen Jiu sighed.

  Looking at the stone ginseng growing in the middle of the rocky peak, Chen Jiu let out a soft sigh.

  "This ginseng is probably around 700 to 800 years old in terms of fire energy. If it's over a thousand years, then it's a spiritual medicine and its quality will have a qualitative leap. What do you say, shall we pick it or not?" Yi Xiao said after taking a look.

  Chen Jiu clapped his hands: "Yi Xiao Xiao, I finally know you're not a waste of food and trash, in this herbal medicine aspect, you actually have some skills".

  "Pick it, why not pick it? This herb is ours since we've encountered it. If we leave it here, even if the herb matures, it'll belong to someone else. Although this 700-800 year old herb's potency may be insufficient, it doesn't matter. It's a 700-800 year old herb that belongs to us. If we wait until it reaches 1000 years, then it'll belong to someone else." Li Xinyi rattled off a whole bunch of words.

  Chen nodded: "Not bad, must adopt. This herb belongs to us. If we wait for two or three hundred years, it will belong to others. We don't have time to wait."

  After finishing, Chen Jiu took out a wooden medicine spade and carefully dug up the ginseng. Just as he put the ginseng into the medicine basket, Chen Jiu caught a whiff of a fishy smell.

  "What's going on?" Li Xinyu exclaimed.

  "I'd forgotten that such a precious half-step spiritual medicine would definitely have demonic beasts guarding it, but in this small cave, there really isn't anything I'm afraid of." Chen Jiu patted his head.

  On one side, the hairs on his body stood up, staring intently at a nearby pit.

  All I saw was a small mound of earth rising up, and then a red line emerged from it.

  "What's that?" Li Xinyi asked, looking at the red thread swaying back and forth on the mound of earth.

  "It's better if everyone just waits quietly for now," said Chen Jiu.

  That red thread swayed for a while, and the earth pile continued to bulge upwards. Soon, a sharp big head appeared in front of everyone.

  But this head is too big, it's as thick as a bucket.

  Chen Jiuzhen calmly said: "There is another excellent medicine, this is a snake, a snake that has been cultivated for 700 or 800 years. This snake is the companion demon beast of mountain ginseng."

  "After finishing, Chen exclaimed: 'Snake gall is a good thing, taking snake gall can clear fire and brighten eyes, it can also increase strength, snake blood is a great tonic, and snake skin is the best material for making clothes'."

  Chen Jiuzhi pointed and pointed, and the whole snake turned into a treasure in Chen Jiuzhi's mouth.

  As the snake slowly emerged, its entire body came out, a full 17 or 18 meters long.

  The girls may have been born with a natural fear of snakes and worms, both ran to the back of Chen Jiu, hiding their heads behind his back, motionless.

  "Hey, Yi Xiao Xiao, you're still a big man, why are you acting like a woman?" Chen Jiu still had the mind to tease Yi Xiao Xiao.

  "I, I, I was born with a fear of snakes, no way" Yi Xiao said stuttering.

  Chen Jiu didn't say much more. Snake-type demonic beasts were quite troublesome, not only did they have deadly venom, but their vitality was also extremely strong, making them very hard to kill.

  Chen Jiufei sprang up, his martial arts skills fully embodied, and Chen Jiu displayed them with consummate skill.

  A loud roar from the wild cow in the wilderness made the giant python lose its mind, and Chen Jiuyi punched the giant python's back.

  Smooth and boneless, Chen Jiu's vigor spread throughout the snake's body. The big snake's body slightly trembled, and it had already dissipated Chen Jiu's strength.

  "My god, is this for real? The defense is so strong!" Chen Jiu exclaimed in surprise.

  Watching the giant snake pounce over, Chen Jiu stretched out his right hand and lightly drew a circle with his index finger: "Drawing a prison on the ground".

  Looking at the giant snake temporarily trapped by himself, Chen Jiu thought for a moment, drew a demon-suppressing talisman, and instantly subdued the monster.

  All snakes are afraid of the power of yang, I summon the thunder to strike it to death.

  Chen Jiuda drew a few strokes on the ground, then his fingers moved slightly, and the sky changed with the wind and clouds. Dark clouds appeared, and bolts of lightning struck down towards the giant snake.

  Lightning is truly the natural enemy of all species, after being struck by lightning a few times, the giant snake began to flee frantically. The ground was rocky and with Chen Jiu's magical power added, it actually broke open a path for escape, thinking about escaping underground.

  Watching the giant snake about to burrow underground, Chen Jiu revealed a hint of a triumphant smile: "Do you think my 'painting the ground as a prison' would have any weaknesses on the surface? You've been deceived, young one."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu started another round of action.
