Shen Luo had never seen Granny Ma lose her composure like this before, and he unconsciously frowned.
"Granny Ma, do you know this monster?" Ying Luo saw Granny Ma's expression at this moment, and inexplicably felt a little flustered and asked.
"Of course I know. How could I forget the battle that caused my cultivation to be destroyed? This is the hair of that snake beauty!" Granny Ma had already restrained her emotions and said coldly.
"Snake beauty?" Ying Luo seemed to have thought of something, and her pretty face changed.
The expressions of a few older people in the surrounding people also changed greatly, but most of them were still at a loss.
"What kind of monster is this snake beauty you speak of?" Shen Luo asked.
"This matter started more than twenty years ago. At that time, my cultivation was still there, and I was guarding the village with another fasting stage cultivator and a few Qi Refining stage juniors. Although the village was poor, it was still stable. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A villager went to the stream to fish, and somehow provoked a snake demon with a human head and a snake body, which attacked the village. Because the head of this demon was a beautiful woman, we called it the snake beauty. This snake beauty was very powerful, and I joined forces with another fasting stage cultivator to fight it. In the end, my dantian was damaged, and my magic power dissipated. The other cultivator fell and died, but the snake beauty was also seriously injured and fled. I didn't expect it to come back now. "Granny Ma said slowly.
Most of the old people present had personally experienced what happened back then. When they heard Granny Ma talk about the past, they recalled that terrifying memory, and their faces showed a look of fear.
"Didn't the demonic beasts attack the village only start a few years ago?" The green ox at the side suddenly asked.
"The demon beast attack on the mountain has happened since ancient times. Otherwise, why would there be a cultivator stationed in the village? It's just that at that time, such things were very rare, and it often didn't happen once in more than ten years. A few years ago, the mutated beasts on the mountain suddenly increased." Granny Ma said.
Hearing this, Green Ox nodded and no longer said anything.
"Granny Ma, at that time, what was the cultivation of you and the other fasting stage cultivator?" Shen Luo asked with a solemn expression.
"At that time, I had just advanced to the fasting stage. The other cultivator's cultivation was deeper than mine, but he had not reached the middle stage of the fasting stage." Granny Ma glanced at Shen Luo and said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo relaxed a little.
Although the snake beauty had severely injured the two early Inedia stage cultivators back then, she herself had also been severely injured. Her cultivation was at most at the middle Inedia stage. After so many years, even if she had recovered from her injuries, her cultivation shouldn't have increased by much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done such a sneaky thing.
Although he had just stepped into the Inedia stage, he had opened up a total of 20 meridians. In terms of the strength of his mana and the power of his spells, he was not inferior to an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of Inedia.
"The beautiful snake demon is greedy and ferocious. Coupled with the previous hatred, she will definitely not let it go this time. I'm afraid that our village will suffer another calamity!" Granny Ma said, looking worried.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard began to panic.
"Since we've determined what's causing trouble and found its escape route, the most important thing now is to find a way to save Chen Guanbao!" Ying Luo hurriedly said.
"That snake demon is extremely powerful. Back then, the two Inedia stage cultivators in the village were not its opponent even when they joined forces. If I say something that angers the two of you, how can you beat it? If you go, you will only die in vain. "Before Shen Luo had time to speak, a bald old man next to him opened his mouth to stop them.
"Yes! If you unfortunately meet with misfortune, what will happen to the village? "Another middle-aged man said.
"Even if the monster needs to devour living beings to cultivate, Chen Guanbao has been kidnapped for so long. He has most likely been killed. It's futile for the Immortal Masters to chase after him. It's better to stay in the village and think of a way to resist the snake demon's next attack."
The other villagers also spoke one after another, each with different opinions. They didn't want the two of them to take the risk.
Shen Luo glanced at the surrounding villagers, lowered his eyes, and didn't express his opinion.
When Ying Luo saw that everyone was stopping them, she was originally a little angry. However, after hearing their words, she hesitated.
"Granny Ma, you are experienced and knowledgeable. What should we do about this?" She couldn't make up her mind and asked Granny Ma.
The surrounding people also looked over at Granny Ma.
Ever since Granny Ma explained the origin of the snake beauty, she had been quietly standing there like Shen Luo with her head lowered. Only when she heard the words did she raise her head.
"What everyone says naturally makes sense. However, in my opinion, Chen Guanbao should still be alive." Granny Ma said.
"How do you know?" A villager asked in a daze.
"That snake beauty must be hiding somewhere near the village to heal. Otherwise, with its strength, it can definitely destroy the village. There is no need for it to hide like this. According to my understanding of snake demons, their physique is of the Yin attribute. It is most helpful for them to devour children on the full moon. Tomorrow is the full moon. "Granny Ma said.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.
Shen Luo secretly thought that his speculation was correct. If the snake demon hadn't recovered from its injuries, it would be much easier to deal with it.
"Ying Luo, your strength is too weak. You are far from being a match for the snake beauty. It's better to stay in the village." Granny Ma looked at Ying Luo and said.
"What about Chen Guanbao? Since he is still alive, how can we not save him? "Ying Luo said anxiously.
"Shen Daoyou, among us, only your strength can match that snake demon. I wonder if you are willing to save Chen Guanbao?" Granny Ma turned her head to look at Shen Luo and said.
"Well, Chen Guanbao was taken away because he was delivering food to me. Even if you didn't say it, I would still go and save him." Shen Luo said in a firm tone.
"Granny Ma, you can't do that. Immortal Master Shen is now an important fighting force in the village. How can you put yourself in danger? You can't only care about your own child and ignore the safety of the village." The bald old man said again.
"Yes!" Several people next to him echoed.
"Everyone, don't worry. When has this old woman ever done anything that is detrimental to the village? Since I invited Shen Daoyou to go, I naturally have a way to ensure his safety." Granny Ma looked at the bald old man and the others with a sharp gaze.
Shen Luo was surprised and wondered what Granny Ma meant.
The bald old man and the others were forced by Granny Ma's gaze and felt a chill in their hearts. They were speechless.
"Everyone, there is a demon lurking underground. It is not safe here. Everyone return home and wait for the results." Granny Ma looked around and said slowly. Although her voice was not loud, it had an unquestionable majesty.
The surrounding people looked at each other and left the small courtyard. Only Ying Luo and Green Ox stayed.
"Ying Luo, Green Ox, you two go out first. I have something to say to Shen Daoyou." Granny Ma said to Ying Luo and Green Ox.
Ying Luo hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Shen Luo, turned around and walked out.
Green Ox followed closely behind, leaving only Shen Luo and Granny Ma in the courtyard.
"Shen Daoyou, this old woman is ashamed to let you save Chen Guanbao alone." Granny Ma sighed.
Shen Luo smiled and did not say anything.
Granny Ma reached into her bosom and quickly took it out. There was a palm-sized silver crescent moon in her hand. The outer edge was sharp and shiny, but the inner side was wider and thicker. It emitted a layer of hazy silver light, looking exceptionally beautiful.
