Chapter 316 Slaying the Giant Serpent
The natal fire that brings wealth is not afraid of any poison; on the contrary, it can restrain any poison.
No matter what kind of poison it is, it will all turn to nothingness under its extreme high-temperature true fire.
"You guys are really alright?"
The giant snake stared at the two of them, its mouth agape in shock.
"We are so sorry, we did not mean to disturb you, we just accidentally wandered into this place."
Moreover, there are treasures we need here, so please do not stop us.
We won't hurt you; we'll leave as soon as we get the treasure!
Shen Rugo suddenly spoke kindly to the giant snake.
This giant snake can understand human speech; it is not an ordinary ferocious beast, but a spiritual beast that has become sentient.
"How...how did you know there was treasure here?"
These words terrified the giant snake.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is an unparalleled, heaven-defying treasure; even its guardian has only seen it twice.
It's impossible to even ask for a little bit!
This tiny human actually discovered the ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow and even wanted to take the treasure away?
"To be honest, I noticed it as soon as I came in. The Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is extremely useful to me, and we really don't want to hurt you, so please step aside!"
Shen Rugo tried to negotiate again.
"Die! All of you die! How dare you covet that treasure!"
The giant serpent was instantly enraged. The blood jade on its head turned blood red again, and its entire body turned blood red. The ancient runes on its scales became even more obvious.
“Your Highness, the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is a heaven-defying treasure, not belonging to this little white worm. This little white worm is merely guarding it here on its master's orders. Even if it risks its life, it will never give it up to you!”
Zhao Cai was surprised that Shen Rugo would speak so kindly, and couldn't help but exclaim.
This treasure is far beyond what this little white worm deserves; it's merely an outer gatekeeper, a doorman, to put it bluntly.
Asking a servant to give up a treasure that even he himself could not obtain is a waste of breath.
"Zhao Cai, I'm afraid I can't beat it. If we can talk things out, we can talk things out. Why fight like this? Who knew it would react so strongly?"
Shen Rugo looked at the ancient runes on the giant snake and felt a little scared; those runes were too mysterious.
"Stop talking, Your Highness! Quickly use your formation to confuse it, and take the opportunity to cut off the blood jade on its head!"
Once the Blood Jade falls, it will be no match for us!
Zhao Cai quickly transmitted its voice, saying that it could see through this Xuanbing Blood Jade Serpent at a glance.
"Can the formation really confuse this giant snake?"
Shen Rugo was taken aback.
He had already realized that the Xuanbing Blood Jade was the key. As long as that piece of blood jade was cut off, the snake would become an ordinary large snake.
As they were talking, the giant snake's massive tail swept across, its force easily reaching hundreds of thousands of kilograms.
If Shen Rugo's small body were hit, it would surely be torn to pieces, and even the Vajra Talisman and Earth Escape Talisman would be useless.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed a small compass toward the giant snake.
The giant snake completely disregarded the compass, opened its massive jaws again, and lunged to swallow Shen Rugo.
It has now unleashed its full power of Blood Jade Divine Ability, so not even a small compass or the sharpest blade could harm it in the slightest.
But just then, the giant snake suddenly realized that its target had disappeared. Shen Rugo was nowhere to be seen. It found itself in a primeval forest, surrounded by ancient trees, and was not in the pool at all.
"How is this going?"
The giant serpent had lived for countless years and was already sentient, yet it had never left the ten-thousand-year-old icy pool, nor had it ever heard of any formation.
It was completely stunned when it saw the unfamiliar scenery.
But in that moment of distraction, a sharp pain shot through his head, and the surge of power in his body vanished instantly. The blood jade on his head had been chopped off.
As the blood jade left its body, its enormous form returned to its original appearance, transforming back into a cold, giant white snake, and the ancient runes on its scales disappeared.
At this, the giant snake was terrified. With a roar, it slammed its head into the giant tree in front of it, trying to break through and create a bloody path.
However, at that moment, a burning pain came from the top of my head.
Soon, it saw a small human figure standing in front of it, with a small, ugly chicken perched on the person's head.
But the little chicken was constantly spitting out flames, each flame drilling into its head and burning a black hole.
"Zhao Cai, how about we let it go?"
Shen Rugo felt a little reluctant.
After all, he had unintentionally trespassed into the other party's territory and was even trying to steal their treasure.
"Your Highness, if you can't even bring yourself to kill such a beast, how will you establish yourself in the cultivation world?"
The higher the level of the cultivation world, the more it operates on a dog-eat-dog basis; even the slightest bit of mercy can result in your annihilation!
Zhao Cai said coldly.
"You little brat, lecturing me?"
Shen Rugo was immediately enraged and reached out to throw it off her head.
Just then, the thrashing of the giant snake gradually stopped; its head had been burned to a pulp and it was completely dead.
"Your Highness, don't arrest me! Cheer up, we need to find the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow now!"
Zhao Cai shouted immediately.
"Zhao Cai, don't you know where the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is?"
Shen Rugo was somewhat surprised.
"It's not that we don't know, but rather that an even more devastating battle is yet to come!"
"What do you mean?"
"This giant snake is just a watchdog, not the master of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow!"
"Does the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Marrow have another owner?"
If even a gatekeeper is this terrifying, what kind of spirit beast must its master be?
Shen Rugo was truly unsettled now.
She thought that once she killed the giant serpent, she would have the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow.
She was full of anticipation for the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow.
She has been relying on spirit stones to improve her cultivation level during this period. She really wants to see if the ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow will bring her a surprise and allow her to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
"Your Highness, are you afraid?"
Zhao Cai's big, round eyes darted around, a hint of disdain in them.
"If you're not afraid, why should I be? Tell me, which way are we going?"
Shen Rugo grabbed Zhao Cai by the neck and lifted him up.
"Sink to the bottom of the pool, find the passage; the millennia-old ice marrow should be deeper!"
"This is already the bottom of the pool; the ice marrow is still deeper inside?"
Shen Rugo was increasingly surprised.
Just as Zhao Cai had said, there was another world at the bottom of the pool, with a passage leading to another place.
They quietly made their way along the passage, and soon they found themselves in a completely different world. Suddenly, they emerged from the pool and arrived at the entrance of a cave.
Although she had left the icy pool, Shen Rugo felt an even more biting chill coming from the cave ahead, as if the air itself had been frozen.
Even though she kept circulating her water elemental root, she still couldn't withstand the terrifying icy power.
"Is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Marrow in the cave ahead?"
Shen Rugo shivered and looked into the depths of the cave. Sure enough, she saw something as clear as jade placed in the pool, and the water flowed towards the previous pond.
"That's the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow? It's only the size of a fist, yet it emits such a strong chill, freezing the entire pool water to a freezing cold?"
Shen Rugo opened her eyes wide, her face full of surprise, and she leaped forward.
