With the loss of the 450,000 soldiers, it was almost certain that the Xiao family was finished. The Xiao family of the financial magnate was finished! Especially now, even after the waterway was cleared, the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass that had stood for hundreds of years would no longer be a natural barrier. Ling Tian would definitely not give the Xiao family a chance to make a comeback. Such a strategic location would definitely be occupied by Ling Tian first, turning from a natural barrier for the Xiao family into a transit point for Ling Tian to attack the Xiao family!
And the Xiao family that had lost a large portion of their military strength and had wasted a lot of manpower and resources no longer had any competition in this aspect!
Following this, Ling Tian only needed to clean up the mess and he would be able to occupy half of the territory.
A flood that should not have appeared had actually caused an incomparably huge impact!
The five year agreement with Yu ManLou had already been set in stone!
No wonder the Young Noble had schemed so hard to cut off this river! After thinking about the huge benefits and rewards that would follow, Ling Jian finally understood what Ling Tian had in mind!
But even if other people thought of it, how could they have a good idea to cut off this river? For thousands of years, there had been many people who had thought of this idea, but who had succeeded?
Looking at Ling Tian who stood on the cliff with his robes fluttering in the wind, everyone felt a deep sense of reverence in their hearts!
A human had actually created a miracle that only a god could create. No, this was a miracle!
"To think that there would be an unexpected harvest." After carefully observing the water level, Ling Tian finally relaxed. The mountains on both sides had collapsed at the same time, like a huge dam, separating the upper and lower reaches like heaven and earth. The water level in the upper reaches was getting higher and higher, and the water level in the lower reaches … er, there was no water level in the lower reaches … it was already close to drying up.
At the highest point of the dam, under the current situation where the water flow was gradually stabilizing, there was still a distance of 10 zhang from the highest water level! At the very least, it was impossible to break through, because the upper reaches of the river had already spilled out in all directions, opening up a new battlefield …
He believed that the Xiao family would definitely receive a huge 'surprise'!
Relieved, Ling Tian began to study the "native" giant snake.
Who would have thought that this big explosion would actually have such an unusual bonus? Looking at the appearance of this snake, the head of the snake was the size of a water tank, and the body of the snake should be at least half as thick? For such a colossus, it would probably take at least a thousand or eight hundred years for it to grow to this size.
Such a large snake was enough to be called a 'monster'. Now that it had fallen into his hands, if he didn't dissect it properly, it would be a waste of God's gift.
This snake was also unlucky. It was originally resting in the cave after eating its fill, but it was knocked out by a sudden big explosion. It finally woke up after a long time, and hurriedly ran out. As a result, when it was at the entrance of its cave, the whole mountain suddenly collapsed, and a huge boulder hit its weak spot first … Probably in its long life, it had never thought that it would die such a sullen death …
If it had obediently stayed in the cave and didn't come out, even if the mountain collapsed, it would only be a little injured. If it fell into the water, its life wouldn't be in danger. However, it was scared out of its wits by the previous explosion, and desperately ran out … Thus, it became a tragedy.
"Damn! What a fat snake! " Ling Chi's eyes finally turned back from the water, and only then did he realize that the biggest unlucky snake was not far away from him, and immediately shouted. This guy was now addicted to eating Ling Tian's barbecue, and when he saw living things, he had already habitually described them as fat or not, and whether they were delicious or not …
Ling Tian snorted, and raised his sword. With a 'pu' sound, a huge snake's head was chopped off without any mercy. Purple-red blood spurted out. It emitted a faint fishy smell, and unexpectedly, there was a fragrance of vegetation.
Ling Tian quickly took out a jade bottle from his bosom, and took a sip of the snake's blood. Although the snake's blood had always been a great tonic in Ling Tian's memory, this was the first time he had seen such a huge snake. Before he could confirm whether the blood was poisonous, Ling Tian wouldn't be at ease letting Ling Jian and the rest drink it. The reason why he took a sip first was because even if it was poisonous, his inner energy of the tenth level of the Divine Shocking Dragon Realm was enough to withstand it! As for the others, it might not be possible.
The snake's blood had a fragrant smell as it flowed down his throat. The snake's blood didn't have a spicy taste, but instead, it had a refreshing feeling. Ling Tian knew that the blood wasn't poisonous, and released the suppression effect of his inner energy. Instead, he used his inner energy to speed up the release of the snake's blood. At the same time, he used his inner energy to circulate a cycle before returning to his dantian. Ling Tian's body emitted a slight heat, which disappeared after a while, and his spirit seemed to have been lifted.
Not only was the snake's blood not poisonous, it was also very beneficial. One must know that Ling Tian had once consumed the highest quality medicine, the highest grade Great Revitalizing Pill. Ordinary nourishing medicine would no longer have any effect on him, but this snake's blood could actually make him feel it, and its effects were naturally extraordinary!
Ling Tian finished his judgement, opened his eyes, and said, "Everyone is in luck, drink a little. Not only is this snake's blood not poisonous, it is also beneficial to one's cultivation. But even if there are benefits, don't drink too much. Limit it to one bowl per person. " Although it wasn't poisonous, Ling Tian was still worried. One must know that snake's blood had the effect of strengthening one's yang energy. Even if it was an ordinary snake's blood, its effects were already extraordinary. Not to mention, this was a monster level "giant snake" that had lived for who knows how long! And this time, the group of people accompanying him were all hot-blooded bachelors. If their blood vessels were to explode, it would be a very uncomfortable matter. In the wilderness, there wasn't even a place to vent …
Once they heard that it wasn't poisonous, everyone immediately became spirited. They all stepped forward to drink the snake's blood. A few of them heard that there were benefits, and didn't care about the limit of one bowl that Ling Tian had mentioned. With a few gulping sounds, several bowls of the snake's blood were already in their stomachs.
After Ling Tian drank a few mouthfuls, he took out two jade bottles and slowly drank two bottles. He still remembered the feeling of the snake's blood entering his body. He was thinking about whether or not he should let Yu BingYan drink some to see if it would have any effect on her Divine Black Negative Meridians.
Under the concerted efforts of everyone, the boulders that were pressing down on the snake were removed piece by piece. After a full half an hour, the snake's entire body was finally revealed.
"Oh my god, this … is this still a snake?" A big man opened his mouth wide, and looked at the huge snake's corpse with a dumbfounded expression. "This guy is too big! If this guy said that he could swallow an entire cow, I wouldn't doubt it. And I dare to bet that even if there were three to five cows, it wouldn't be enough to feed him. No wonder we haven't seen any big beasts since we came here. It seems that all of them have been eaten by this guy. "
The snake's body was fifteen meters long. According to Ling Tian's visual estimation, the thickest part of the snake's body was at least two square meters in size. His initial estimate was that this snake's weight was at least two to three thousand jin!
Everyone was stunned!
Such a huge monster, how did it grow to such a large size? Ling Jian had been wandering for many years. He had once beheaded a huge snake that was said to be three to four hundred years old. That snake's body was also huge, but compared to this huge snake in front of him, that 'huge snake' was simply the difference between a rabbit and a wild boar!
"I'm rich!" When Ling Tian saw the layer of fine scales on the snake's body, he first tried to pull it with his hands. Then, he thoughtfully put away the Heaven Splitter. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a saber from the waist of a big man beside him. He fiercely chopped at the snake's body, but only managed to make a small cut. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Although the saber was made of ordinary iron, the blade had been tempered with black iron. In addition to Ling Tian's strength, although he didn't use all of his strength, it was enough to cut iron like mud. This kind of strength actually only managed to make a small cut on the snake's body! The degree of toughness of this snake's skin was already unimaginable.
For such a huge snake, just its skin alone could be used to make many protective soft armors! If he could equip a few people in the courtyard and give his father a set of high grade armor, he wouldn't have to worry about his father's safety every day. Especially Ling Jian, Ling Chi, and the rest. If they had this soft armor to protect them, they would be in an invincible position in an assassination attempt! With Ling Jian's assassination skills, with this heaven-defying equipment, and with the addition of scheming against the unsuspecting, looking around the world, how many people would be able to escape from his life reaping sword?
Thinking of this point, Ling Tian was so excited that he almost wanted to howl towards the sky!
Unsheathing the Heaven Splitter once again, Ling Tian very carefully peeled off the snake's skin. Only this ancient sword was able to cause damage to the extremely tough snake's skin. Ling Tian carefully divided the snake's skin into a dozen pieces, allowing everyone to carry them on their backs. Then, Ling Tian excitedly began his journey of dissecting the snake and searching for treasures.
With regards to dissecting snakes, Ling Tian could be said to be very familiar with it. First, he cut off the snake's vital point. Basically, the snake's gallbladder, inner core, and the like were all located at this point.
The first thing he obtained was naturally the snake's gallbladder. For such a huge snake, its gallbladder was definitely a rare antidote. Ling Tian naturally wouldn't let it go so easily. Holding the snake's gallbladder in his hands, even with Ling Tian's composure, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Good heavens, it was practically comparable to three bear gallbladders. It was really big to the point of being famous.
Carefully placing the snake's gallbladder into the leather bag on his back, Ling Tian continued his work. However, this time, Ling Tian's expression slowly became more and more interesting. After flipping the snake's body several times, Ling Tian finally stood up gloomily.
"F * ck! Why is there no inner core?! Isn't this too ridiculous?! An old monster that has lived for such a long time should at least be at the level of a snake king, right?! Other than its flesh, there's nothing valuable on its body? "Ling Tian glared at the huge snake." Aren't you too useless? You didn't even condense an inner core? How can there be nothing?! "
Young Master Ling looked very indignant, as if he was extremely angry that this snake didn't condense a powerful inner core for him. His tone made it seem as if this snake owed him something. It was really shameless and unscrupulous …
The more he looked at this dead snake, the angrier Ling Tian became. Unsatisfied, he kicked the snake and said fiercely, "Chop off its flesh piece by piece. Tonight, it's a snake feast! After a big meal, carry the rest away. "
Everyone cheered, especially Ling Chi's voice. Knowing that they were going to have a good meal, they all pounced on the snake like hungry wolves.
"Young Master, what is an inner core? This subordinate seems to have never heard of it before. Please enlighten me, Young Master. "Ling Jian followed beside Ling Tian and asked in confusion. This question was probably something that everyone was confused about, but only Ling Jian had the right to ask Ling Tian face to face!
"Inner core? … How should I put it? Some wild beasts that have lived for a long time usually have a strong life force in their bodies. They won't die under normal circumstances. When this life force accumulates to a certain extent, coupled with their daily intake of Heaven and Earth Essence, it will form a miraculous thing similar to the Heaven and Earth Essence in their bodies over time. This is the most essential part of the wild beast's body. And this part is the existence of the pure essence. It is extremely beneficial to the human body, or rather, to all life forms! Especially for martial artists, it has many uses. Generally, wild beasts that have lived for hundreds of years will have this kind of thing in their bodies. But this snake looks like it has lived for at least a thousand years, and yet, there is no inner core in its body. This can be considered a ridiculous matter. " Ling Tian stroked his chin and looked at the group of people who were cutting off the snake meat piece by piece, deep in thought.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Ling Jian nodded thoughtfully and said, "The last time I was in the mountains, I killed a black scaled snake that was as thick as a water bucket. At that time, I chopped its head open with a sword. There was also a small black stone inside, but it was a little soft …"
"That can't be, the inner core of a snake should be condensed at a vital point, usually at the seven-inch position. How could it be on the head?" Ling Tian asked suspiciously, but his gaze had already turned to the head of the snake that he had chopped off. "It's good to give it a try."
Ling Tian walked over with his sword and asked casually, "Then how did you deal with that thing? The black scaled snake is a good thing, and a black scaled snake that can grow an inner core is even more extraordinary. "
Ling Jian's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "When we returned to the courtyard, I threw that thing to Old Feng, and then Old Feng soaked it in a jar of wine …"
"My god! Using an inner core to soak in wine?? "Ling Tian was stunned, and then he gritted his teeth and looked at Ling Jian," Old Feng is not afraid of bursting! Damn it. "
Speaking of bursting, Ling Jian laughed, "But during that period of time, Old Feng seemed to be especially energetic. He continuously went to the brothels for two months, and every time he went, he would go for an entire day. I heard that the ladies did not dare to receive him alone …"
The veins on Ling Tian's forehead were popping, and his gaze was ferocious, "Feng Mo actually used the inner core of a black scaled snake as an aphrodisiac?? Really a bastard eating barley, a waste of food ah. " The more he thought about it, the angrier Ling Tian became, "Ah Jian, you idiot, I really want to slap you and me to death. Do you know that if I were to guide you to consume that inner core, it would be comparable to the effects of two Great Revitalizing Pills, and it would not clash with the original effects of the Great Revitalizing Pills? That way, in one night, you would be able to gain at least 60 years' worth of internal energy, and that is a full 60 years' worth of internal energy ah! That would be equivalent to two or more of your current self being tied together as a peerless expert ah! But you gave it to Old Feng to soak in wine, I really have to hand it to the both of you. What is called recklessly wasting a heavenly treasure, this is called recklessly wasting a heavenly treasure! "
Ling Tian almost vomited blood, and he had completely forgotten about dissecting the snake head, "That Old Feng is really too much. If you don't know how to use it, why don't you ask someone else? Ask me, this young master! Soaking it in wine is fine, but every time he drank the wine, he would go to the brothels when the effects of the drug kicked in … all these good things were wasted on a bunch of prostitutes … I … I am going to vomit blood! … "
Ling Jian listened dumbfoundedly. Suddenly, his face turned from white to red, and then to green. He jumped up in regret, and used his hand to tear his hair. Like a madman, he spun around twice on the spot, and sat down on the ground. He stared blankly, and could not say a word!
He had actually given away a peerless treasure so casually, and this was an opportunity for him to directly become a peerless expert, but it had passed by just like that! For Ling Jian, who was wholeheartedly pursuing the peak of martial arts, this was like the sky falling down on him.
"There was once an opportunity to become a peerless expert in one night, but I did not cherish it. When I understood, it was too late for regrets. If only the heavens could give me another chance …" Ling Jian muttered.
"F * ck! Scram! "Ling Tian kicked him in frustration," Where did you learn this from? "
Ling Jian looked up in confusion, and let out a sigh, saying listlessly, "When I was injured in the Northern Wei and was escorted back to Sky Bearing by Miss Li Xue, I heard her say these words. At that time, I didn't think much of it, but now that I know about this matter, haiz … I realize that these words are too … apt …"
Ling Tian was dumbfounded.
As a person from the modern era, he naturally knew where Li Xue's words came from. But he never imagined that Li Xue would actually copy it, and even let Ling Jian hear it. Furthermore, this fellow even used it here.
Joke? Joke? Not knowing whether to laugh or cry?!
Actually, how would Ling Tian know that Li Xue's abuse of Ling Jian started from these words? When Li Xue was recalling these words, she thought about her past life, and her mood was extremely low. Thus, she unknowingly said them out loud. But at that time, Ling Jian was in a bad mood due to his injuries, and thus, he mocked her. After which, Ling Jian's nightmare began. A demoness' joke was not something that anyone could joke about, and even Ling Tian did not have the guts to do so …
Looking at Ling Jian's despondent appearance, Ling Tian could not bear to continue speaking, and sighed, "Everything is fated, and this is the so-called 'fate'. If you don't have the fortune, you can't force it. Old Feng originally had some fortune, but it was wasted by him. Now, let's see if there is any in this snake's head. If there is, we can make up for it a little. If there isn't, I'm afraid you can only slowly train, and occasionally be used as a punching bag by Li Xue and me … "
"Of course there is." Hearing this suggestion, Ling Jian's pupils shrank, and he could not help but tremble. His eyes stared fervently at the huge snake's head, as if he was staring at his own dream. The ferocious snake's head actually became incomparably beautiful in his eyes, and he looked forward to it endlessly.
Ling Tian snorted, circled around the snake's head, and slashed down with his sword. If you want to know what happens next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!
