Chapter 257: The Valley That They Had to Rush Into, the Venomous Hidden Green Snake
The scene came to where Su Yi and the others were. After traveling for a while, they had already left the desolate barren land.
Under their feet was no longer the barren land, but the soil with fresh gra.s.s growing from time to time.
"I"ve finally walked out of that barren land."
Nie Ling walked on the gra.s.sy gra.s.sland with light steps. Her footsteps were light, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Li Mengxi, on the other hand, was not so chirpy. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes. Her current situation could be considered safe, but she was worried about her big brother.
Although she knew that her big brother, Li Zhengxuan, was at the eighth layer of the foundation establishment realm, if he were to encounter the Crystal-devouring Centipede from before, she was afraid...
"Don"t think too much. Brother Li is a good person, and there will be no harm."
Su Yi saw the worry in Li Mengxi"s eyes, so he slowly went forward to comfort her.
When the latter heard this, she perked up and softly responded.
"Okay..."
Then, she raised her head and looked at the place where they were now. Spirit energy and vitality were restored in her eyes.
Seeing this, Su Yi did not say anything more. He was also observing where they were now.
It was still endless. There were no tall trees or forests. Instead, some dense gra.s.s grew extremely high, blocking their vision.
It must be a barren land compared to the desolate land before. In comparison, this was simply heaven.
In a breath"s time, the fragrance of the soil brought with it the fragrance of flowers and plants. They could not help but feel intoxicated by this breathtaking view.
Perhaps influenced by this scene, Li Mengxi"s footsteps gradually became lighter, and then she caught up with Nie Ling.
The two of them chatted happily like sisters, and their vigilance dropped a lot. It was as if with Su Yi behind them, they would never have to worry about whether there was any danger behind them.
At this moment, Su Yi was not only the person who protected them, but also a person that they could absolutely trust.
This feeling was like life. Even if it was buried in the bottom of their hearts, it would eventually explode one day.
Li Mengxi, who was walking in front, secretly turned her head and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. Then, the corner of her mouth rose slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Of course, Su Yi naturally would not see such a small movement.
At this moment, he was paying attention to the illusion around them. As they walked further and further, the water vapor around them became more and more, and even the gra.s.s and trees became more lush.
At this time, the true essence attribute in his body had been converted to the water attribute, and he was extremely sensitive to the water element.
If it continued to develop like this, he might really be able to find the location of the water source.
Just as Su Yi was observing the illusion and Li Mengxi peeked at him from time to time, Nie Ling suddenly shouted.
"Su Yi, fellow Daoist Li! Come and take a look!"
As Nie Ling shouted, the two of them thought that she had encountered something. They immediately moved their vital essence and rushed to Nie Ling"s side with a breeze.
When they came to Nie Ling"s side and looked in the direction she pointed out, they were instantly stunned.
They saw that they were standing on the edge of a ravine full of ravines.
The bottom of the ravine was not the bottomless abyss. At a glance, there was a clear spring surging at the bottom of the ravine, and the rushing river was flowing rapidly.
Waves of water crashed against the cliff walls of the ravine, emitting waves of sounds.
At the same time, the waves of water raised waves of water vapor. Under the illumination of the light, the water vapor actually turned into an incomparably gorgeous rainbow.
Following that, the water vapor scattered on the gra.s.s on both sides of the canyon.
Immediately, the gra.s.s and leaves were like dewdrops, slowly dripping down.
A wave of exuberant green vitality filled this place.
When the three people saw this scene, their eyes were stunned. They did not expect that there would actually be such a scene in this ancient ruin.
Suddenly, just when they were a little lost in thought, a slight movement woke them up.
They saw a black shadow shoot out from the extremely close distance. Its target was Nie Ling, who was the closest to them.
"Watch out!"
Su Yi"s reaction was extremely fast. When he heard the movement, his finger had already condensed into a sword finger. His true essence quickly circulated, and a cold light shot out from his fingertip.
Just as the black shadow was about to pounce on Nie Ling, the cold light he shot out arrived.
Clang!
With a soft sound, in an instant, that black shadow was struck by Su Yi, and then his body fell far into the canyon before being washed away by the water.
During the break, he clearly saw that it was a green snake covered in green phosph.o.r.escent armor. Its green phosph.o.r.escent armor complemented the gra.s.s nearby. If it did not move, its aura would not even be produced.
It was impossible for the naked eye to notice it.
"That was close. It seems that I can not let down my guard no matter where I go in these ruins."
His gaze was sharp as he looked around. The red and yellow robe on his body fluttered even though there was no wind. This was caused by the true essence in his body rising continuously.
At this moment, the two ladies had already reacted. They summoned their weapons and similarly looked around with grave expressions.
At this time, he slowly explained to the two girls.
"Nie Ling, fellow Daoist Li, there is a kind of green snake-like demon beast here. You guys have to be careful."
What happened just now was just a split second. He did not have the time to look at the specific information of the green snake, so he temporarily determined it to be a demon beast.
The two girls heard him and nodded. Then, their true essence slowly rose on their delicate bodies. Their expressions were extremely serious.
One of them held a long sword in her hand, and the green true essence was extremely sharp. The other one was holding an extremely cold ice crystal in her hand, ready to attack.
However, after waiting for a long time, they still did not see any more green snake attacks. Could it be that there were no more?
How could it be?
Just as they had waited for a long time, and their tensed minds were slightly relaxed, there was another soft sound.
And this time, it was directly at Su Yi"s feet!
With the green snake"s terrifying speed, it attacked Su Yi"s calf. Its body was not big, but its mouth was not small. It was almost the size of a palm. If Su Yi was bitten, he would probably lose half of his leg.
Moreover, there were two sharp teeth on its upper jaw that were flashing with green light. It could be seen that this kind of green snake was definitely venomous.
However, the green snake was fast. Su Yi was faster than the green snake.
When he realized that the target of this green snake was him, he had already exploded all of his true essence.
An intense air current swept over his entire body. With a kick, a shockwave spread out from under his feet, even setting off an air wave.
The green snake, which was pouncing towards his calf, was sent flying by this air wave.
At this time, he shouted in a low voice.
"Fellow Daoist Li, now is the time!"
