The Hidden Serpent King was dead, and the hidden snakes had scattered.
Jiang Wang didn't land immediately to harvest the spoils. Instead, he focused on the Heavenspan Palace.
He studied the little black snakes sealed by the sea of divine flowers.
The Hidden Serpent King was definitely a difficult opponent. It had extraordinary intelligence and great strength. It commanded an uncountable number of snakes. Countless' soldiers' obeyed its commands and charged into battle for it.
Needless to say, its concealment abilities were almost perfect. Moreover, it had incredible speed, strength that could uproot a huge tree, potent poison, and the ability to attack one's soul.
If it hadn't chosen to kill Qing Nine-leaf and Jiang Wang hadn't noticed it through the Red Makeup Mirror, it could have continued rampaging through the Forest Ocean Origin World.
If Jiang Wang hadn't been here, Dan Qing, Qi Shu, and the others would have been nothing more than food. It was no wonder the Holy Clans had stopped hunting snakes for so many years.
With the Hidden Serpent King dead, the little black snakes wandering around Jiang Wang's Heavenspan Palace had lost their leader. They were no longer attacking in an orderly manner. Instead, they were scattered in all directions.
They were as chaotic and lost as the ordinary Hidden Serpents outside.
Jiang Wang suddenly thought of something. Did the Hidden Serpent King control the snakes through these little black snakes?
He didn't see how it communicated with them, but the attacks of the Hidden Serpents were extremely methodical.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
If he hadn't reacted in time with a corresponding soul Dao technique, he would have been reduced to a walking corpse once he was devoured by the little black snakes. Of course, it was also possible that it gave Jiang Yan an opportunity to take over the nest. Given Jiang Yan's experience, he wouldn't have been helpless against these black snakes.
Correspondingly, if he could figure out how these little black snakes operated, wouldn't it be equivalent to mastering a Dao technique that involved the power of the soul?
Compared to the dazzling Origin Power Dao techniques, soul Dao techniques were often more subtle and difficult to guard against.
This was especially true since Jiang Yan, who was proficient in soul Dao techniques, resided in the Heavenspan Palace. Jiang Wang also needed to improve his soul Dao techniques.
When he first entered the Forest Ocean Origin World, although Jiang Yan was reluctant, he had still spoken to him. Ever since he entered the Land of Divine Shade, he had been silent. Even after leaving the Land of Divine Shade, he still hadn't reacted.
He didn't know if it was under the influence of some kind of power or if it was silently observing something.
He knew too little about Jiang Yan. Jiang Wang couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Thinking about it, he used the Divine Spirit Flame Flower to drive these little black snakes away from the Dark Abyss Candle.
With the Sea of Divine Soul Flowers, it should be able to provide some cover.
He planned to focus on studying these black snakes after returning to the Shadowed Land. No matter what, they should be able to avoid Jiang Yan's vision in the Shadowed Land.
Fortunately, the principle of the Sea of Spiritual Flowers was based on the Sea of Flame Flowers. Once this kind of dao technique was formed, the continuous consumption of Dao Energy was extremely small. He only needed to divert some of his attention to control it.
Unless the Flame Flower exploded, another Flame Flower had to be created.
With Jiang Wang's current Spiritual Energy, it wouldn't be a problem for him to study it after returning to the Land of Divine Shadow.
What happened in the Heavenspan Palace was quiet.
In the eyes of the bystanders, Jiang Wang had only remained silent in the air for a while before landing in front of the Hidden Snake King's corpse.
"Alas."
Looking at the snake carcass in front of him, Jiang Wang's heart ached.
He pulled out his sword and began to cut the snake skin with a look of regret.
At this moment, he was really regretting it.
Although he had tried his best to restrain the Eight Tone Flame Sparrow, the explosion of this dao technique in the Hidden Snake King's abdomen was still not something he could accurately control.
The Hidden Snake King was indeed completely dead, but its most important and precious Hidden Snake skin was already riddled with holes. How could the word "tragic" describe it?
The other snake gall and the like were needless to say. They had long been blown up.
For such a huge Hidden Snake, if the snake skin was intact, it wouldn't be a problem to make more than ten Hidden Clothes. He could use the rest of the materials to exchange with the Divine Clan.
But now …
Jiang Wang huffed and puffed for a long time. After picking and choosing, he was only able to cut off two relatively large pieces of intact snake skin. It looked like one could sew a piece of clothing from the front and one from the back — if the Hidden Clothes were directly sewn together with needle and thread.
If there were more of the Hidden Snake King's snake skin, he wouldn't mind sharing it. But only these two pieces were intact. Of course, they could only belong to him.
Killing the Hidden Snake King was basically done by him alone. The others didn't have any objections.
Jiang Wang was very much looking forward to the quality of the Hidden Clothes.
Apart from that, there was also a pair of snake fangs and the snake's tongue that were perfectly preserved. These were all good things.
After the Hidden Snake King died, its tongue had become stiff. It could be made into a sword — but he didn't know how it would compare to the snake-tongued sword he had obtained from the snake-faced cultivator.
The two snake fangs could be made into a dagger.
With these materials as a foundation, the final product wouldn't be too bad.
Jiang Wang accepted all of them. He would pass them to Lian Que when he had the time after leaving Seven Stars Valley.
Qing Bazhi and the others were all experienced hunters. Of course, they wouldn't let go of the spoils of war. They took out a small knife and began to skin the snakes.
Seven Azure Trees had suffered too many injuries. Even though their vitality was terrifying and they could withstand the overlapping poison wounds, they were still quite confused. He simply sat on the ground and chattered nonchalantly.
Among these people, only Su Qi remained silent as he stared blankly at the snake corpses on the ground.
Jiang Wang glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Compared to the Sacred Race warriors who spent their years hunting and fighting against the powerful beasts of the Forest Ocean Origin Realm,
Most of the cultivators participating in the Seven Stars Tower weren't weak, but they lacked the qualities of a warrior.
Su Qi had been asked to act as a backup, but he had charged forward in a fit of rage and turned himself into the main force.
Wu Quji had asked him to neutralize the snake venom, but he had ended up being poisoned himself.
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say.
Of course, they all had their reasons. For example, Su Qi had broken down and needed to vent. For example, Wu Quji had done it out of good intentions. He had tested the venom with his own body so that he could more accurately determine the venom.
However, those who had truly experienced war would understand that any reason or excuse other than victory or defeat was meaningless.
Frankly speaking, Jiang Wang didn't have the confidence to fight Yan Xiao with these people.
… …
While skinning, Qing Bazhi casually asked, "Why didn't you bring your blade today?"
As a Sacred Race warrior, he naturally knew that Qing Qishu wasn't just good at using a shield. He often carried a blade as well. Only with a blade and a shield was a complete Qing Qishu.
Qing Qishu grinned and said casually, "Let's practice."
If he wanted to carry it, then he would. After all, it was very difficult to kill him. Qing Bazhi didn't think too much. With a gentle shake of his hand, the complete Hidden Snake's skin was "peeled off". His movements were very agile.
Qing Jiuye glanced at Qing Qishu on the ground and seemed very silent.
Jiang Wang put away the Hidden Snake King and walked over. He casually talked with Qing Qishu and saw that the wounds on his body had already begun to heal … It was really enviable.
However, this kind of recovery ability and toughness required the sacrifice of some sensitivity. Qing Qishu's own "slowness" came from this. His perception of his own pain seemed to be far slower than that of ordinary people.
For example … he had only just begun to scream.
"Ah, it hurts so much, so much, so much pain …"
"Slowness" might be the limit of this recovery ability. It was also the reason why his defense was very skillful and his Greenwood Shield could be considered a treasure, but he was frequently injured by the Hidden Snakes.
Of course, compared to his almost immortal physique, this degree of weakness was nothing.
… …
On the other side, Wu Quji, who had been dizzy for a long time, finally recovered a little. His mind also returned to normal, but he was a little tongue-tied. "I know … I know … this … this … poison …"
He was very excited.
He finally had a deep enough understanding of the Hidden Snake's poison and was confident that he could make the corresponding antidote pill.
He was very useful!
Jiang Wang and the others buried themselves in handling the Hidden Snake's skin. No one paid attention to him.
Antidote pills and whatnot …
Apart from himself, no one else needed to eat them.
