Chapter 169 Chapter 169
Zhao Yuan looked around while walking towards Qi.
Although the Land Temple has been demolished, its former layout can still be seen from the remaining traces. The location of the Tuanqi should be the main hall of the Land Temple. But now, there are neither statues of gods nor incense tables there, only a pile of broken wood rubble left.
When he got closer, Zhao Yuan saw clearly that this Qi was not transmitted from the rubble of the broken wood, but came from the underground.
This made him feel relieved.
Zhao Yuan had just been worried that if he was given the incense and wish to cultivate Qi, it would be a pity if he was damaged by someone who didn’t know the goods in the land temple.
Judging from the traces at the scene, although the walls and tiles of this Land Temple were demolished, the ground had not been moved. Think about it, it was just demolishing a house, who would dig the ground? Unless you know there are treasures under the ground!
Zhao Yuan picked up a wooden stick, broke it, and dug it out with a sharp section at the location where Qi was.
Fortunately, the stone bricks that were once paved in the Land Temple have been pried away, leaving only mud surfaces. Otherwise, no matter how strong Zhao Yuan was, it would be difficult to dig the ground with a wooden stick.
Zhao Yuan moved very quickly. In a short while, he dug out a pit of more than 30 centimeters at the Qi position.
Suddenly, during another excavation, the wooden stick loosened and the soil at the bottom of the pit fell, and a hole appeared.
Zhao Yuan was about to expand the hole to see what was inside. A black shadow shot out from the hole with lightning speed and rushed straight to Zhao Yuan's face.
"Damn, what the hell?"
Zhao Yuan subconsciously leaned back, and slapped the wooden stick in his hand against the black shadow.
With a muffled "bang", the black shadow that rushed out of the hole was slapped away by this force and fell to the ground.
Only then did Zhao Yuan see clearly that what shot out of the hole was a brown snake about three meters long and had many square white spots!
After landing, the snake immediately raised its triangular head and stared at Zhao Yuan with his eyes tightly. The snake's letter kept swallowing and spitting, making a creepy "hissing" sound.
"Five-step snake?"
Zhao Yuan, who came out of the mountains, recognized the identity of the snake at a glance.
The five-step snake, scientifically called the Spike Viper, is a highly venomous snake. It usually lives in fallen leaves or grass. Zhao Yuan never thought that there was such a poisonous snake hidden under the land of the Land Temple. And looking at it, it should not be hibernating under the ground, because it is not as lazy as a winter snake, and it is very aggressive.
"This is the first time I have seen such a five-step snake. I wonder if it will be related to the treasure underground?"
Zhao Yuan held the wooden stick tightly, cautiously and ready for battle.
Although he has the strength to wash his marrow in the early stage, he is not invincible. If he is bitten by the snake and is not rescued in time, he will still die.
After the five-step snake accumulated enough strength, it launched another attack, and its body bounced up suddenly and flew towards Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan had been waiting for it for a long time, and the wooden stick turned into a lightning bolt and sucked on the five-step snake's triangle head. The powerful force made the snake scales on its head split and fell to the ground again.
At the same time, the white cat that had been guarding the side flew over like a ghost. Before the five-step snake that had been severely injured recovered, it pressed its claws on its neck, making it unable to twist its head and bite it.
The other claw grabbed the five-step snake's seven-inch slash. The sharp cat's claws were like sharp blades, instantly piercing through the five-step snake's strong snake scales, opening its intestines and tearing its belly.
Immediately afterwards, the white cat meowed and put his head closer to the seven inches that he had grabbed it, and bit the five-step snake into two pieces in a few bites.
The five-step snake, which had its head and tail separated, stopped moving after twisting violently for a few times.
"call……"
Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the five-step snake was killed.
It is much more difficult to deal with this thing than to deal with people, and you will be hit if you are not careful.
"Beautiful job." Zhao Yuan rubbed the white cat's head and praised.
The white cat squinted his eyes and enjoyed Zhao Yuan's caress. After meowing twice, he raised his sharp claws and opened the five-step snake's belly. He found the snake gall accurately, picked it out, picked it up gently, put it in front of Zhao Yuan, and signaled him to eat it.
In the past, the white cat had also given Zhao Yuan a lot of "food", but it was basically mice, sparrows, etc. Zhao Yuan really couldn't speak. But now Zhao Yuan doesn't want to miss this snake gall.
Snake gallbladder is a good thing, which can clear the liver and improve eyesight, detoxify and remove prickly prickly, not to mention that a five-step snake that is more than three meters long! You should know that a normal five-step snake is between 1.2 and 1.5 meters. This snake can be called the giant among the five-step snakes! Its snake gallbladder is definitely more effective than an ordinary five-step snake.
When he picked up the snake gall, Zhao Yuan originally planned to swallow it in one bite, but he opened his eyes to observe the Qi technique and unexpectedly saw a trace of Qi in the snake gall!
Although this Qi is not too much or strong, it is better than the essence.
After being surprised, Zhao Yuan quickly figured out: "I know why this snake is hidden underground. It's really related to that treasure!"
The sixth sense of animals is stronger than that of humans. This snake must have sensed the Qi emitted by the treasure under the ground of the Land Temple, so it left the fallen leaves in the grass and went downstairs to live.
With the baby for many years, this five-step snake not only absorbed the Qi emitted by the baby, but also absorbed the incense and vows offered by the good men and women in the land temple, so it cultivated Qi in the snake gallbladder.
If the Land Temple is not demolished, if Zhao Yuan is not met, maybe in a few years or ten years, this five-step snake can even open its spiritual orifice and become a monster similar to the yellow skin. In the end, it will occupy the magpie's nest, occupy the Land Temple, and swallow the incense power, which will harm the people and animals in the ten miles of the countryside!
"I didn't expect that I would give up a single harm to the people today." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
Since the snake gallbladder contained Qi, Zhao Yuan was not in a hurry to eat it. He planned to think of a way after going back to see if he could use Qi in the snake gallbladder to the maximum extent. So he opened the ring and put this special snake gallbladder into it.
Seeing that the snake gallbladder suddenly disappeared from Zhao Yuan's hand, a trace of splendor flashed in the white cat's little eyes, but it seemed that it was not surprised. After meowing twice, he stopped paying attention to Zhao Yuan, turned around and pounced on the body of the five-step snake, and began to feast on it.
Zhao Yuanze returned to the hole and carefully expanded the hole with a wooden stick, for fear that poisonous snakes, wild beasts and other things would emerge from it.
Fortunately, none of these things appeared again.
