"You actually killed it!"
Looking at the old snake, who was halfway through its tribulation and evolution, Wan Yunting couldn't help but be amazed. He had thought this old snake could survive the tribulation and evolve into the legendary Flood Dragon, but he never expected it to be killed by the Flood Dragon Snake Liu Xiao Hei, who dragged the Great Snake Hong Ti La along with it.
"Hmph, now you know how amazing I am."
Liu Xiao Hei's girlish voice sounded in Wan Yunting's ears. It raised its large head, its body charred black from the lightning strike wriggling. There were even some wounds from being bitten by the old snake, bleeding profusely, which made its movements slow. Its large, emerald green eyes glanced at Wan Yunting, filled with arrogance.
Immediately, Liu Xiao Hei roared at Hong Ti La, who was still secretly drinking blood by the old snake's tail, "Stop drinking, I won't shortchange you."
The rebuked Hong Ti La shrunk its head comically, its large crimson eyes showing a docile look, and it let out a weak hiss, as if responding to Hong Ti La...
Next, Liu Xiao Hei bit down on the old snake's heart, swallowing the torn flesh and blood directly. This was an old snake that had cultivated for five hundred years, and its flesh and blood were extremely nourishing. Liu Xiao Hei would never waste it...
"This blood..."
Qi Xiu and Chong Ling Er, holding their water canteens, looked at the old snake's blood flowing on the ground. They knew this blood was a good thing, but seeing the black Flood Dragon Snake with its piercing emerald green eyes, the immense pressure made them afraid to approach.
"Here."
As a result, Liu Xiao Hei, a Flood Dragon Snake, took out a bloody heart, about eighty centimeters in diameter, from the old snake's body and threw it directly at Wan Yunting. Liu Xiao Hei's girlish voice sounded, "Don't say I'm not keeping my word. Eat this heart, it's greatly nourishing."
Seeing the giant heart rolling to his feet, Wan Yunting's expression was stunned. Zhou Ruo Xi and Zi Qing beside him, Zhao Xu Yan and Qi Xiu, and the Kunlun Sect Master Yuan Gao Wu who was following behind, along with their two elders and the remaining young disciples, were all shocked by this scene.
"What does it want to do?"
Zhang Xian Er turned her head and asked Wan Yunting with a sideways glance, pointing at the Flood Dragon Snake Liu Xiao Hei, "Also, did you bring this big snake?"
Because only Wan Yunting could hear Liu Xiao Hei's words, but Zhou Ruo Xi, Zi Qing, and the others could tell from the Flood Dragon Snake's emerald green eyes that it knew Wan Yunting and was communicating.
Wan Yunting glanced at Liu Xiao Hei, who was still tearing at the old snake's corpse, then pointed at the giant heart on the ground and said to Zhou Ruo Xi and Zhang Xian Er, "This is its reward for me."
"Look quickly, the snake demon's inner core!"
Qi Xiu exclaimed. Wan Yunting turned his head and saw that in Liu Xiao Hei's bloody mouth, it had taken out an inner core the size of a basketball from the old snake's body. The inner core exuded a faint gray light, its color was grayish-blue, stained with blood, and its surface was smooth and shiny. Yuan Gao Wu and the others in the distance widened their eyes...
This was the inner core of a five-hundred-year-cultivated snake demon. If it could be used in medicine to refine pills and consumed, the efficacy would be imaginable.
"Roar...!"
Liu Xiao Hei suddenly turned its head and roared at Qi Xiu, Zhao Xu Yan, and the others. Its girlish voice sounded in their ears, "You bunch of greedy humans, do you still want to snatch it from me?"
Wan Yunting quickly and speechlessly shouted, "No one wants to snatch it from you. We are just seeing the inner core for the first time, that's all we're surprised about."
"Hmph."
Liu Xiao Hei's emerald green eyes glanced at him, then it opened its mouth wide, and the old snake's spherical inner core was swallowed in one gulp...
Zhang Xian Er, Zhao Xu Yan, Zhou Ruo Xi, and Chong Ling Er watched this scene in astonishment. Then, Ji Ru Xue turned her head, her foxy eyes glancing sideways at Wan Yunting, and asked, "You seem to understand what it's saying?"
Wan Yunting nodded. He looked at the old snake's heart, which was still twitching slightly under his feet. This was indeed a good thing. Whether it was used directly or used to refine pills, it was definitely a great tonic for martial artists to enhance their internal energy.
Roar...
"Hoo, so refreshing..."
Liu Xiao Hei, the Flood Dragon Snake, let out a comfortable roar. Although it hadn't fully refined the old snake's inner core yet, it had finally avenged its mother and swallowed its enemy's inner core. Liu Xiao Hei's girlish voice said, "Hey, human slave, you can take this blood and flesh. I'm going to find a place to go into seclusion."
Wan Yunting, being called a human slave, gave it a big roll of his eyes. However, looking at the old snake's massive body, he pointed at the Great Snake Hong Ti La, who was obediently lying behind, and asked, "Can it eat this?"
Liu Xiao Hei immediately turned its head to look at Hong Ti La, its girlish voice asking, "This stinky thing, since it has my blood essence, human slave, did you help it open its spiritual aperture?"
"Sort of," Wan Yunting nodded.
Zhou Ruo Xi, Ji Ru Xue, Zhang Xian Er, and Chong Ling Er beside him looked at Wan Yunting with strange expressions because only he could hear Liu Xiao Hei's voice. To others, Wan Yunting seemed to be talking to himself.
"From now on, it will follow me!"
Liu Xiao Hei seemed quite satisfied with Hong Ti La. It turned its emerald green eyes to look at Wan Yunting, and its girlish voice asked, "Human slave, do you have any objections?"
Wan Yunting's expression was stunned. He turned to look at Hong Ti La. He saw its crimson eyes filled with worship, staring intently at Liu Xiao Hei, clearly having forgotten its father.
Wan Yunting sighed, "If I had objections, would you listen?"
"No."
Liu Xiao Hei snorted arrogantly, then tore into the old snake's corpse on the ground, biting off its head and said, "Its head is for you guys, and its body is for it to eat."
Seeing the old snake's giant head being bitten off at the neck, spurting blood, made Qi Xiu and Chong Ling Er, who were holding their water canteens nearby, exclaim at the waste...
Liu Xiao Hei turned its head and roared a few times at Hong Ti La behind it. Instantly, it saw its crimson eyes filled with excitement, and then it opened its mouth wide and began to swallow from the old snake's tail...
"Oh my god, is it going to swallow the snake demon's body?"
Chong Ling Er watched as Hong Ti La excitedly swallowed the old snake's body. Wan Yunting nodded, pointed at the old snake's large head, and said helplessly to Zhou Ruo Xi and Ji Ru Xue, "The head belongs to us."
"Really?"
Qi Xiu's eyes widened, disbelieving. Wan Yunting nodded seriously, and Qi Xiu became excited, "Then we can't waste it, junior sister, quickly catch the blood..."
"This Grandma is going into seclusion."
Liu Xiao Hei finished speaking, wriggled its injured body, and roared a few times at Hong Ti La, who was devouring the old snake's corpse. Hong Ti La stopped moving, its crimson eyes excitedly looking at the Flood Dragon Snake, and it even nodded comically, its mouth full, letting out a few hisses in response...
"Hurry up and finish eating."
Liu Xiao Hei's girlish voice huffed. It then crawled rapidly towards the direction of the Death Valley's Gate of Hell...
"Where is it going?"
Seeing the black Flood Dragon Snake leave, Ji Ru Xue asked excitedly.
Wan Yunting said helplessly, "It's going to find a place to go into seclusion."
"Can I follow it?" Ji Ru Xue asked.
Wan Yunting turned to look at her, knowing what she was thinking, and shook his head, "It's not the Divine Snake of your Divine Snake Tribe, but it is the Divine Snake that created your Divine Snake Tribe!"
Ji Ru Xue watched as Hong Ti La slowly swallowed the Divine Snake's corpse, her expression inevitably turning somber. She had come to find the origin of the Divine Snake Tribe because she had heard that the Divine Snake that created the Divine Snake Tribe back then was still alive.
At the same time, it was to hide the treasure in the origin of the Divine Snake Tribe, which was the gold, silver, and jewels found in the stone chamber by the major sects, as well as the martial arts secret manuals of the Snow Mountain Sect!
"Don't even think about reviving the Divine Snake Tribe!"
Wan Yunting looked at Ji Ru Xue and said calmly, making her abandon that thought.
Hong Ti La swallowed the entire body of the old snake. It let out a low roar towards Wan Yunting and Ji Ru Xue, then laboriously turned its head and chased after the Flood Dragon Snake Liu Xiao Hei not far away.
From this moment on, Hong Ti La became Liu Xiao Hei's subordinate...
The dark clouds in the sky had long since dispersed, and everything had returned to peace. The Gobi Desert of Death Valley was deserted, but there lay many corpses. There were the corpses of the Dian Cang Sect Master Zhang Boyun, and two disciples of the Kong Tong Sect, as well as Zhang Xing Yue, a disciple of Long Hu Mountain, and He Yun Xia and several disciples of the Shen Jian Sect.
As for the Shen Sect Master Yan Chang Jian, he had already fled with the young sword attendant and Meng Yan.
The Kong Tong Sect Master Lu Chen Zi had also disappeared somewhere. The remaining corpses of Kunlun Sect's senior disciple Geng Hong and many junior disciples lay scattered on the Gobi Desert, covered by the blowing sand...
As night fell, at the foot of the rocky hills on the Gobi Desert, Wan Yunting had moved the old snake's large head and its huge heart here. Beside him, Zhao Xu Yan and Chong Ling Er were weeping. The corpse of Zhao Xing Yue had already been buried...
As for Elder Zuo Qi and Tian Shi Lin Yiping, Elder Liao of the Hua Shan Sect, Elder Feng of the Qing Cheng Sect, and the disciples of Shaolin Sect such as Jin Xuan and Xu Hai, they could only sleep forever in the underground cave of the mountain hill, in the stone chamber of the main hall of the Divine Snake Tribe's origin.
The remaining people here were only Zhang Xian Er and Zi Qing, Zhou Ruo Xi and Qi Xiu, Chong Ling Er and Zhao Xu Yan, as well as the injured Emei Sect senior sister Lu Shuang and junior sister He Shanyue.
Yuan Gao Wu, who was leaning against the sand wall, along with the Third Elder Guan Yong Wu, the Fifth Elder Ren Bo, and several young disciples, all had their hands tied. Wan Yunting had also sealed their meridians and acupoints, preventing them from using their internal energy.
Wan Yunting searched for a long time before he found a large dead tree from the distant Gobi Desert. He lit a bonfire, as the temperature in the Death Valley Gobi Desert dropped sharply at night, and the wind blew. They hid behind the hills, sheltered from the wind. Wan Yunting took out a sharp small knife and was cleaning the old snake's huge heart...
"You're really planning to eat it?"
Ji Ru Xue, wearing a red dress, walked over with her sexy and graceful figure. She sat down next to Wan Yunting, watching him skewer a piece of the old snake's heart with the Gentleman Sword and roast it over the charcoal fire. Zhou Ruo Xi was tending to the wounds of her senior and junior sisters.
"Otherwise."
Wan Yunting glanced at Ji Ru Xue as he roasted, seeing her reaching out to grab the box containing the Snow Mountain Sect martial arts secret manuals...
"What are you doing?"
Just then, Qi Xiu sharply reprimanded Ji Ru Xue.
Ji Ru Xue's foxy eyes looked at Qi Xiu and Chong Ling Er. Her outstretched hand stopped. She raised her fiery red lips and smiled, "What, is this Snow Mountain Sect martial arts secret manual yours?"
"Nonsense, the Snow Mountain Sect is a righteous sect. This martial arts secret manual should be handled by us. You, a demoness of the Divine Snake Tribe, cannot touch it!" Qi Xiu glared and pointed at Ji Ru Xue, saying sternly.
"Exactly..."
Chong Ling Er said, and also went forward to take the box. However, Wan Yunting, who was sitting beside them and roasting the old snake's heart with his finger on the Gentleman Sword, suddenly pressed the box with his left hand, preventing Chong Ling Er from taking it...
