Chapter 24: Chapter 23

Inside the Sacred Land

 

The spawning point of Feng Zhijiu is by a clear and cold lake. She looked around and took the flying sword back to her Qiankun bag.

 

Her Qiankun bag contained her talismans, poisons, medicinal pills, array plates, some foods, and a bottle of the Fountain of Life water. She tightly tied the Qiankun bag around her waist and pulled up the Shadowskin cloak to cover her face. Now, one can only see a woman in a black cloak, but her face is completely hidden under the hood.

 

She looked around and everything seemed normal. There is a meadow in front of the lake, surrounded by trees. As she approached the cold lake, surprise flashed in her eyes.

 

‘Isn't it Moonlight Lotus? ! I am lucky!’

 

She looked at the calm lake and picked up a small stone at her feet. She threw it in the middle of the lake near the Moonlight Lotus. Before the stone touched the surface of the lake, a long and large serpent jumped up and swallowed the small stone.

 

‘It’s a serpent?’

 

The giant serpent had a pair of small horns on its head, and its body was white in color with a silver lining around its scales. She calculated the size of the serpent, and roughly calculated that the giant serpent was at least 100 meters long and 10 meters in diameter. At this size, she'd be swallowed whole, but still not enough to fill the gaps in its teeth.

 

‘What to do? ‘

 

Just as she was thinking, the giant serpent looked at her. While the Shadowskin Cloak can obliterate her presence, she is not invisible. A low and calm voice echoed in the air.

 

"Who are you?"

 

'Eh? This giant snake speaks? Wait a moment. It has a horn! It's already a serpent!’

 

She uses voice changing spells and changes her voice. Now her voice is like a mix of male and female. Two voices appeared at the same time. She always wanted to try this sound. Villains in those ancient dramas always use this kind of voice, it sounds so mysterious.

 

"Just a passerby."

 

The giant snake stared at her and spitted the small stone back. She avoided the small stone and saw the serpent’s saliva above.

 

"....." She looked at the serpent and waited for it to speak.

 

"Why did you throw that stone at my Moonlight Lotus?"

 

"I'm just testing my strength." She calmly answered.

 

"Lies!" The giant serpent roared, shaking the water and nearby trees.

 

".... Alright then. I want that Moonlight Lotus ."

 

The serpent's eyes changed from white to red. Then there was a roar like a dragon's roar.

 

‘This serpent almost turned into a dragon?’

 

"You dare!"

 

She kept her calm and instead offered a deal. "Let’s exchange. I want Moonlight Lotus. I can give you what you want."

 

The giant serpent spit out its long, split tongue. It shows a small boy of about five years old in its large mouth. Curled on its tongue.

 

“!!!” It eats humans, ah?!

 

Despite her shock, her voice remained calm. She glanced at the little boy and then at the giant serpent. "Why show me that boy."

 

The giant serpent took the little boy back into its big mouth and said with a low voice. "This Moonlight Lotus is something I need and have guarded for more than three thousand years. Nothing... Nothing can take it away. The kid you saw just now is the last person who tried to steal my Moonlight Lotus."

 

"Why did you let him live?" she asked curiously.

 

The giant serpent hisses: "He is a delicious food. I have been transformed by absorbing his essence. Now, you are special, and absorbing you can make me stronger than God."

 

"...I refuse." She frowned when she heard the giant serpent's words.

"Ha ha ha ha!! Then die!"

 

At this moment, the giant snake opened its mouth wide and rushed forward. Trying to swallow her. She opened the Qiankun bag, took out a lightning talisman, and threw it at the serpent's open mouth.

 

"Lightning, strike!"

 

A strong purple thunder fell from the sky and hit the open mouth directly. The giant serpent flashed to dodge while spitting venom at her. She leaped away, picked up another talisman and threw it at its huge head.

 

"Vine, bind!"

 

The talisman on the giant serpent glowed and many thorny vines emerged from the talisman, sealing the big mouth of the giant serpent. When she landed, she saw the giant serpent thrashing around, trying to snap off the green vines while stabbed and injured by a thorn on the vines.

 

She stood up and made hand seals, a glowing circle appeared under the giant serpent while it was busy trying to break the vines. She clapped her hands and said, "Break."

 

The huge formation under the giant serpent suddenly radiated rays of light, forming a cage that imprisoned the giant serpent. The cage became smaller and smaller while the giant snake could not move. At the same time, the vines were broken.

 

"Puny insect!"

 

She approached the giant serpent and stood in front of the cage. The giant serpent kept beating on the cage, but it couldn't even make a slight vibration. "Save your strength, my formation is not something you can break."

 

"Roar!! How dare you!!" A dragon roar came from its open mouth, revealing the little boy curled up on its tongue.

 

She closed her ears and spoke in a louder voice. "I said, serpent. You refuse a toast only to drink forfeit. Now, give me that boy."

 

The giant serpent sneered: "Oh? It turns out that you are just a puny human being."

 

"Yes, I'm human. Now, give me the boy and I'll spare you."

 

"Humans cannot be trusted." The giant serpent sneered, showing sharp teeth.

 

"Like the snake. Give me the boy, or I'll pry your mouth open and take him out myself. Your choice."

 

"Uh... well. But keep your word."

 

"Just give me that boy."

 

The giant serpent threw the boy to the ground and hissed. "Let go of me now, human!"

 

She ignored it and went to check on the boy. She looked at him and found that he was just a little boy about four or five years old. His whole body was covered with the venomous saliva of the giant serpent, and his spiritual energy was very faint.

 

She cleans the venomous saliva with a cleansing spell and feeds the boy a Thousand Cures pill, to detoxify him. She also made him drink a few sips of the Fountain of Life’s water. The giant serpent sniffed the air and suddenly became anxious.

 

"Who are you!! Why do you have the fountain of life’s water?!" Its voice was full of fear, and its massive body trembled, making the ground vibrate.

 

She gently placed the little boy on the ground and covered his naked body with a quilt. Then she turned to look at the giant snake. "You do not need to know."

 

She bypassed the giant serpent, flew to the center of the lake and planted the Moonlight Lotus in her own space. She planted the flower in the middle of the big lake behind the bamboo house.

 

She flew back to land and picked up the little boy. Looking at the giant serpent, she waved her hand. The bright cage slowly disappeared from the top as she turned away. But she hadn't gone far when the giant snake attacked from behind her, its poisonous teeth on top of her head.

 

"Die!!"

 

"It's you who are courting death, it's not that I don't keep my promise!"

 

She took her fan out of her Qiankun bag, unfolded it and waved it at the incoming serpent. Countless wind blades flew at an invisible speed, cutting the body of the giant serpent into pieces. From head to tail into neat pieces, the blood didn't even drip out.

 

She put the serpent’s body into her meat storage room and then put the serpent's demon core into her Qiankun bag. Putting the fan back, she walked out of the meadow while holding the little boy in her arms with the hood covering her face.
