Chapter 6: Glaucous Gentiana

  Baiyun Mountain is a famous mountain with an area of hundreds of miles, towering into the clouds. It stretches for dozens of miles, with ancient trees reaching the sky and primitive dense forests everywhere. Deep in the mountains, there are many strange beasts, and ordinary people dare not enter deeply.

  In the depths of Mount Baiyun, a cyan-white shadow was rapidly flying by. Upon closer inspection, it was Pan Hao and Qu Zhuo. Pan Hao had his right arm around the girl's waist, using his lightness skill to continuously glide through the air above the trees.

  Pan Hao's hand held the soft jade, and he could only smell the faint, delicate fragrance of a young girl on his nostrils. Although he was enjoying this atmosphere in his heart, his hands didn't make any excessive or improper moves. After all, Pan Hao had been with many women in his past life and had had several relationships, so he still had some self-control.

  However, the girl in his arms was not as calm as Pan Hao. She had a bright red face and used her own hands to hold onto Pan Hao, ensuring her balance.

  For the first time, being so intimate with a strange man made her feel very uncomfortable. Her heart was racing anxiously, her palms were sweating, and her face was flushed. She tightly closed her bright eyes.

  After a stick of incense, Pan Hao stopped at the foot of a cliff. The cliff was over 20 zhang high, with weeds and shrubs growing all around, and sparse trees scattered about. Above, the wind howled fiercely. Below the cliff, more than two zhang from the ground, there was a cave with a diameter of over three chi. This cave was hidden deep beneath the mountain cliff, and even at noon on a sunny day, it was an extremely dark place.

  And one plant is entirely purple-red, no more than ten or so centimeters tall. It looks like a small snake that has come to life and appeared below the mountain cave.

  Snake's saliva herb!

  The girl's heart was filled with joy, and she was about to go forward to pick it up.

  "Be careful!"

  A thumb-sized, newly-born triangular-shaped emerald green snake shot out from the hole and bit towards the girl's neck.

  Clang...

  A cold light flashed, a loud crack, the thumb-sized green snake was stabbed and broken by Pan Hao, falling to the ground, its body severed into two sections, fresh blood flowing from it, still twisting and writhing.

  Ah! A shrill cry rang out, and the girl immediately reacted, jumping over and tightly grasping Pan Hao's right hand.

  Pan Hao's eyebrows jumped, after all, she was just a little girl! However, soon Qu Zhu realized that something was wrong and reluctantly let go of Pan Hao's right hand.

  Then she rubbed her sleeves with both hands, lowered her head in embarrassment, and a blush spread from her neck to her face. She said softly: "Sorry! Brother Pan."

  "I'm coming! This grass seems strange!"

  Pan Hao said with a hint of confusion.

  Pan Hao still remembers the last time he came, although there were not many snakes, but it was not as fierce as this time. He remembered that at that time, he was studying a grass near the entrance of the cave and was not attacked by venomous snakes. Now, even if you just approach Qiu Zhu, they will start attacking people.

  Pan Hao walked slowly towards the snake spittle grass, getting closer and closer, when suddenly, about two or three meters away from the cave entrance, a hissing sound of snakes crawling came out.

  One by one, the triangular-headed, emerald-green venomous snakes emerged from the cave. They appeared in dense clusters, with a rough estimate of no less than hundreds of them, constantly moving outside the cave and surging towards Pan Hao's direction.

  Pan Hao took a backflip and landed lightly more than ten meters away, seeing this scene, even if he had seen a lot and was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

  At this time a strong breath of air rose from the cave and Pan Hao was shocked, what is this?

  A giant snake over ten meters long crawled out, its body covered with palm-sized dark green scales that shone brightly, its abdomen was pure white, and on the top of its huge head were two fist-sized lumps.

  The giant snake emerged and immediately fixed its long, icy gaze on Pan Hao. Its forked tongue darted in and out, emitting a soft hissing sound. The smaller snakes around it retreated in an orderly fashion, stopping behind the giant snake, as if guarding it like stars surrounding the moon. This was indeed the king of snakes.

  "Qū zhū, go a bit further and hide." Pān hào instructed Qū zhū. Later on during the battle, Pān hào might not be able to protect her at all times.

  "Be careful, Brother Pan!" Qu Zhu also knew that she couldn't be of much help now, as long as she didn't make things worse.

  After finishing speaking, Qu Zhu slowly ran to the distance, the giant snake's emerald green and narrow eyes still staring at Pan Hao, without any reaction to Qu Zhu's departure, it was clear that it did not put Qu Zhu in its heart. At the same time, relying on the intuition of living things, it could feel the dangerous aura emanating from Pan Hao's body.

  "I just need a sprig of snake spittle grass." Pan Hao said faintly to the giant snake, pointing at the purple-red snake spittle grass at the entrance of the cave.

  Pan Hao knew that most creatures at this level could already understand simple gestures and movements, and if they were often in the human world, they could even fully understand human language.

  Hsss...

  The giant snake saw Pan Hao's movement, and its head suddenly rose high, its emerald eyes narrowing further, filled with coldness and ruthlessness. A burst of murderous aura shot up into the sky, clearly enraged to the extreme.

  What's going on! Pan Hao was deeply puzzled, could it be that this grass had some great use for it.

  Just as he was in a state of confusion, the giant snake attacked Pan Hao.

  A deafening roar erupted as the surrounding trees fell one after another, crushed by the giant snake. In an instant, it arrived in front of Pan Hao. Hiss..., the sharp fangs on the giant snake's mouth were biting towards Pan Hao.

  Pan Hao looked on in shock as the situation changed dramatically. He couldn't believe that the giant snake had suddenly become so frenzied and attacked him instantly.

  With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed, and the humming of the sword resonated loudly. The White Lotus True Energy instantly enveloped the long sword, making its cold light flash even more sharply. Threads of sword energy emerged from it, only to dissipate in the air just a few centimeters away.

  Pan Hao understood that only after entering the Innate Stage could his sword energy leave his body and unleash a massive attack effect.

  Rumble...

  A snake head with a diameter of several meters, covered with thick scales, bit towards the upper body of Pan Hao, and the stench rushed forward. Pan Hao activated the true energy in his body, his body lightened, and he jumped up, soaring several feet high, avoiding the huge snake mouth.

  Clang...clang...

  A string of sparks burst out from the blue scales of the giant snake, and a deep white mark appeared on its back.

  Hiss...

  The giant snake, in agony, began to go mad. Its body, over ten meters long, swept wildly back and forth, knocking down the lush green trees, which were then uprooted from the earth with their tender roots still attached to clumps of mud.

  At this time, Pan Hao was secretly shocked. The hard scales were like ordinary steel that would have been cut off by the previous sword, but on the giant snake's body, only a faint white mark was left.

  With a loud crash, the giant snake swung its tail, and a strong gust of wind was suddenly generated. Pan Hao, relying on his excellent lightness skill, also found it difficult to take a step, barely dodging in time. Peng! The snake's tail slammed onto the surface of a millstone made of bluestone, instantly shattering the massive stone into four or five pieces, sending dust flying and small rocks shooting out in all directions.

  Gently floating down onto a tree, Pan Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. The martial power of this world is incredibly high! A casual snake king can rival an average top-notch expert. What an exciting world this is!
