Chapter 109: The Snake

  In the gloomy and decaying swamp, Xiaogu and seven others waited quietly, waiting for the sacred grass in front of them to mature.

  It was already midnight, and various magical beasts were not uncommon. If it weren't for the intense battle during the day that left the air thick with bloodlust and killing intent, Xiao Gu and his companions would have been surrounded by countless magical beasts long ago.

  Demons have a much more sensitive sense of killing intent than humans!

  Ah-choo! In the cold wind, a big sneeze rang out loudly in the quiet night.

  "I'm saying, how much longer will it take for this treasure to fully mature?" Wu Qing rubbed his nose, somewhat listlessly.

  "Tomorrow evening will be about it," said Ren Yao, who had been crouching on the ground observing the Holy Spirit Grass.

  "Alright, fine. For future happiness, I'll endure some hardships now," he said heartlessly, nodding and looking like he'd been taken advantage of.

  At the same time, Xiao Gu was also having a conversation with Lao Wang Ba.

  "Old Wang Ba, remember, don't snatch it," Xiao Gu warned with extreme caution. He had long known this guy's character, who wouldn't even spare his own people, and would take action over a single Zhu Ling pill in the past, let alone now.

  "Don't worry, your turtle grandfather is a formidable figure. The sacred spirit grass is nothing to him," Old Wang Ba said with a grin.

  However, the saliva that almost wet Xiao Gu's shoulder, as well as the wandering eyes, exposed this guy's intentions.

  "If you dare to make a move, I'll tie you up and bury you in the swamp," Xiao Gu said viciously. If this guy really made a move, it would be a big trouble. Anything that fell into Lao Wang Ba's hands was basically impossible to retrieve.

  Chieh, Old Wang Ba gave Xiao Gu a contemptuous white eye.

  However, Xiao Gu understood that this meant not giving up, but rather saying to Xiao Gu: "Want to stop you, Grandpa Turtle? No way."

  "Alright, no time to waste, help me freeze this guy in the swamp," Xiao Gu casually grabbed Lao Wang Ba and was about to throw him into the swamp water. Anyway, this guy wouldn't die, and when the Holy Spirit Grass matured, it would be safer to let him out again.

  "Wait, wait," seeing Snow Wu's raised hand, Old Wang Ba finally compromised.

  "What's this? You agreed?" Xiao Gu heh-heh sneered.

  "Wipe it off, one eighth of it, otherwise your turtle grandfather will not obey, consider it yourself," Old Wang kicked his little leg twice.

  "Think beautifully," Xiao Gu said as he was about to take action.

  "Listen up, kiddo! Your turtle grandpa is reminding you that getting this thing isn't as easy as just wanting it. Without the right method, you'll all end up dead here. Suit yourself!" Old Wang Ba said with a smug expression, looking like he had Xiao Gu already in his grasp.

  "Do you think I look like someone who can be easily deceived?" Xiao Gu didn't even bother with him.

  "Wait, this seems to be the truth," Li Tian suddenly spoke up, and Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba's conversation had not been concealed, so several people heard it very clearly.

  "No way," Xiao Gu sighed.

  ……

  In the end, under Lao Wang Ba's shameless coercion, Xiao Gu reluctantly agreed to its terms. Of course, Li Tian Dao and others did not object either, because they also needed Lao Wang Ba.

  Shā shā shā......shā shā shā......

  At dawn, Xiao Gu and others sat cross-legged in mid-air, taking a short rest, with only Li Tiandao keeping watch on the side.

  At this time, a strange sound suddenly came, as if some kind of creature was walking on the ground.

  Li Tiandao furrowed his brow and cautiously approached the direction where the sound came from.

  Hiss...

  Suddenly, a pitch-black shadow leapt out of the grass and charged towards Li TianDao at a speed that made it hard for people to see clearly.

  Brush, Li Tiandao left a residual shadow on the spot and dodged an attack.

  At this time, Xiao Gu and others also woke up.

  Having reached this realm, their senses were acute and any movement was hard to evade. In the instant that the dark shadow attacked, everyone's eyes were already wide open.

  "How strange," looking at the black shadow in front of them, Xiao Gu and others slightly furrowed their brows.

  This is a roughly three-foot-long glossy black snake, with a triangular head and venomous fangs. What's even more bizarre is that this little snake actually has a pair of wings.

  "What is this thing?" Wu Qing looked very curious.

  "I don't know," Li Tian said, opening his mouth. He had been through the Death Swamp more than once and had seen countless magical beasts, but he didn't recognize the little guy in front of him, which made everyone even more vigilant.

  Especially here, other monsters don't dare to get close, but this little snake is not afraid, which can explain the problem.

  Hiss, hiss, the little snake moved again.

  A black stream of light shot towards Xiao Gu, simple and direct.

  Boom!

  Xiao Gu's fist blasted out, not daring to be even slightly careless. In a place like the Disaster Death Swamp, any slight carelessness could lead to oneself being irretrievable.

  The mighty divine power caused the marshes to be turbulent, and the mud mixed with swamp water covered the sky.

  However, what shocked Xiao Gu and the others was that such a fierce attack was actually ignored by the black little snake, which passed through the fist wind as if nothing had happened, without even pausing for a moment.

  "How is it possible," in great surprise, Xiao Gu dodged a black little snake on a long wooden bridge.

  What is this thing, at this time, the small snake found Ren Yao, almost turning into a black line wrapped around Ren Yao to attack, that kind of terrifying speed, even an ordinary strong Jindan cultivator may not be able to stop it.

  What's even more terrifying is that those two small wings cut through space with every flutter!

  "Not good, let's hurry up, someone is coming," a blood dragon that had been quietly observing from the side suddenly spoke up.

  Maybe nothing is wrong with the monster, but it's not necessarily so for humans.

  Even if very few people can recognize this treasure, the fragrance that spreads out will also trigger the greed of practitioners.

  "You're busy, come and help me, I'll knock down the little snake, you seal it with ice," At this time, Xiao Gu couldn't remain calm either, after all, the Sacred Spirit Grass was a big deal, if it were to be exposed, probably the entire immortal realm would go crazy.

  "Reverse the Five Elements!" Xiao Gu shouted loudly.

  A colorful light suddenly flashed, and then turned into a huge cage that enclosed everyone including the small snake.

  This is what Xiao Gu recently realized, the unparalleled forbidden divine ability can not only be used to kill people, but also to imprison cultivators. The power of the five elements is disrupted, and all space and time are completely different. Even if Xiaoshe is against the sky, it's impossible to escape.

  As expected, as the cage gradually shrunk, the small snake darted left and right but was unable to break out. In an instant, it was trapped by Xiao Gu in a three-foot-sized cage.

  "No time, take action!" Xiao Gu shouted loudly, and then plunged the small space into the swamp.

  Brush, at the same time, Snow's jade hand waved lightly, and this side of the swamp instantly turned into a glacier.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after being frozen, the little snake no longer had the ability to move, let alone break through the ice and escape.

  After all, according to Xiao Gu's observation, this little guy's cultivation was only at the 8th level of Nascent Soul!

  After struggling for a moment, the small snake finally stopped moving and instead looked at Xiao Gu and Xue Wu with a gaze that was both pleading and joyful.

  "What's going on?" Unable to understand, Xiao Gu thought of Old Wang Ba.

  "Wipe, young man, dog shit luck reversed heaven, unexpectedly met the legendary snake," Old Wang Ba woke up and found the small snake, suddenly two eyes shining.

  Boa constrictor! Xiao Gu is shocked.

  Ancient Basilisk, an existence comparable to gods, even the Dragon King may not be its match, born with unparalleled strength.

  However, wasn't the Xiang snake tribe already extinct in the mythological era? How can it appear here? Xiao Gu was somewhat curious, but since entering the immortal realm, he had seen many shocking scenes like this, and Xiao Gu was able to remain calm.

  "I don't know," Old Wang simply dispelled Xiao Gu's doubts.

  "Alright, what does this clever snake mean now?" Xiao Gu looked at the small snake with a curious expression.

  "Nonsense, he wants to submit to you or your little wife," Old Wang Ba said gruffly.

  "Alas, okay," Xiao Gu muttered silently.

  Xue Yu had naturally heard Lao Wang Ba's words and also knew the reputation of the mantis snake, but she didn't move, only quietly looking at Xiao Gu.

  "Let it go, release the little snake. Take good care of it, and who knows, it might be a great help in the future," Xiao Gu said with a slight smile to Xue Wu.

  "Good," Snow nodded slightly and then waved her hand to break open the ice-sealed marsh.

  Splash!

  The little snake's body trembled slightly, and then golden light burst forth. Its originally black and shiny body turned into a uniform golden yellow color. The golden wings quivered slightly, and it appeared on Xue Wu's shoulder.
