After a night of traveling, they arrived at the territory of Star Spirit Valley at dawn the next day. Looking from afar, the mountains stood proudly in the clouds like giants. The cliffs were extremely steep, and the rocks were overgrown with vegetation. Pine trees stretched out their arms from the rock layer in a welcoming posture, adding layers of green to the greyish-yellow rock mountains.
Hundreds of flowers were in full bloom in the mountains, and the clusters of leaves were covered with dew. Whenever someone walked past, the dew would immediately drip down, making a quiet pitter patter sound. There was no road in this mountain forest, and no one knew how many years it had been since someone came here.
As far as the eye could see, the steep mountain peaks formed a mountain range in a strange trajectory, like a giant dragon entrenched on the earth. The mist was dense, and it was hard to see further away. The animals in the forest had also woken up from their sleep. The goshawk was circling in the sky, and the poisonous snake was slithering in the grass, making hissing sounds that made people's hair stand on end.
The Star Spirit Valley was in the depths of the mountains, and they were only at the edge of the valley. They were still at least five miles away from the entrance of the valley.
Before entering the valley, the accompanying servant army had already turned pale. Their task was to send back a message, which was also what Feng Zhan Lin and Moqi Lin had requested again and again.
Lin Muyu strolled in the forest. She turned around and looked at the five hundred servant army, and said, "Why don't you camp here? We'll be able to see you when we come out after entering the valley."
A servant army commander hurriedly said, "Alliance Leader, please be careful. Then we … we'll leave you here."
"En, you guys be careful too."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Alliance Leader!"
…
Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi smiled knowingly. Without the burden of the servant army, it was much easier to enter the valley. However, they were not in a hurry, and continued to walk along the mountains towards the Star Spirit Valley. After all, this area was full of dangers, and they had no idea what was inside. It was better to be cautious.
As they got closer and closer to the valley entrance, the surrounding mist became thicker, and it was a faint green mist.
"Be careful."
Xi Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with wariness. She said, "This mist is poisonous. Use your inner breath. Don't breathe the air outside. Otherwise … the divine power in your body will be affected."
"Yes."
Internal Breath was a self-circulating ability of a powerhouse's body. Generally speaking, the higher one's cultivation was, the longer they could survive with their inner breath. It was also because of this ability that God State experts could survive in the vacuum zone between the universes.
Lin Muyu and the others began to circulate their internal energy to maintain their physical strength. At the same time, they drew their weapons and began to be on guard.
"Do we need to use fire to disperse the fog?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
Xi Yan shook her head. "There's no need to act rashly and alert the enemy. This valley is indeed strange. We'd better not let the thing in the valley know of our arrival."
"Yes."
Qin Yin suddenly blinked her Flaming Eyes and said, "Look over there!"
Everyone looked over and was surprised to see a big tree broken in the middle. The cut was very smooth, and it seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade. Further away, they could see sharp scratches on the grass, which should have been caused by Sword Qi or Saber Qi. Further away, there were streaks of golden blood on the grass. The blood had long since solidified, but there was no trace of anyone.
Lin Muyu walked forward, picked up the bloodstained grass with the blade of her sword, and gently sniffed it.
"What did you smell?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
"No." Lin Muyu shook her head.
Tang Xiaoxi pouted. "Then why did you smell it?"
"It's always like this in the movies …"
"…"
Just when Tang Xiaoxi wanted to beat him up, Xi Yan stretched out her hand and pointed not far away. She said, "Look over there, there's a very big cave under the rock wall!"
Everyone looked over. Not only was there a cave, but there were also some blood-stained rags on the thorns. They could imagine that this was left behind by a person being dragged across the thorns. Furthermore, this person was not dead, because there were scratch marks left behind by five fingers in the thorns.
This God State Master was dragged by something and walked past here.
Suddenly, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin looked at each other and felt a chill in their hearts. What kind of thing could drag a Immortal State Master? And most likely, it was eaten.
Xi Yan walked to the entrance of the cave, sniffed, and slightly frowned.
"What smell do you smell?" Lin Muyu asked.
"The smell of a snake."
"A snake?"
"Yes, it must be a snake." Xi Yan said confidently, "And it's a giant snake guarding this place. The Immortal State Masters who died in Dragon City are most likely the work of this snake."
"Lure it out and kill it," Lin Muyu said.
"How do we lure it out? It doesn't seem to want to come out."
Xi Yan said, "It's because our aura is too strong, so it doesn't want to come out and face us. That's why we have to force it out. Fuzhu, it's time for you to show your power. Fill the snake cave with water."
"Fill the snake cave?"
Fuzhu was speechless. "So that's all I can do …"
As he spoke, he let out a low roar and pushed his palms forward. Instantly, a column of water sprayed into the cave. Since Fuzhu could control all the water in the world, the water in the forest naturally obeyed his command. Wisps of water from the canopy, leaves, and grass flew over as if summoned, turning into a torrent that flowed into the cave.
The inside of the snake cave must be very large. Fuzhu filled the cave with water for nearly ten minutes, and it was finally full. The water was already overflowing from the entrance.
"Snakes can't stay underwater without breathing for a long time. It must be the same for this giant snake."
Xi Yan said confidently, "We'd better retreat a little, lest we get scared when this beast rushes out."
Lin Muyu agreed deeply. She pulled Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi back a little. Then, she held the Xuan-Yuan Sword and secretly infused her divine power into the blade. She was ready for battle.
Suddenly, a powerful aura awoke from the ground and surged.
"It's here!"
Lin Muyu was not afraid. Instead, she was excited.
Poof …
Water splashed, and a huge, ferocious head broke out of the water. It opened its mouth and tried to swallow Fuzhu. The giant snake's body was half a meter thick, and its triangular head was like a giant dipper. When its upper and lower jaws were fully opened, it could swallow an adult in an instant.
"Beast, why do you have to bite me?!"
Fuzhu roared and condensed a barrier of water between his palms.
Poof!
The barrier shattered under the snake's powerful bite, and Fuzhu was forced to take a few steps back. He was furious. "If I don't kill you, my surname isn't Fuzhu!"
Rolling up his sleeves, Fuzhu dashed forward like an arrow, riding on the serpent's head and giving it a good beating. Every punch was accompanied by an icy glint. Fuzhu was a water-type ferocious beast, so the seven to eight punches were enough to make the serpent dizzy. However, before it could celebrate, a gust of cold wind blew behind it.
Poof!
Fuzhu fell into a thicket of thorns, and the thing that swept him away was the snake's tail. The tail was like a steel whip, and it hurt. But Fuzhu's skin was thick, and it only hurt, but not hurt.
Lin Muyu could not stand it anymore. She shouted, "Move aside, I'll finish it off!"
Like lightning, she used the Fallen Star Steps and rushed toward the snake. The Xuan-Yuan Sword swept out with the Chaos of the Lives!
Poof!
The sword pierced through the snake's armor and tore a large hole in its abdomen. But that was not all. Lin Muyu stomped on the ground, and her body shot out like an arrow. Her leg was filled with the power of the Three Luminaries Calamity, and it landed heavily on the snake's lower jaw!
"Crack!"
The force of the kick was so great that the snake's mouth slammed into each other, and two poisonous fangs flew out and broke.
"Ahhh …"
The snake let out a wail like a baby, and it did not stop. Its body began to curl up like a pile of cow dung, and only its head was left bobbing up and down at Lin Muyu.
"Is it begging for mercy?" Tang Xiaoxi was shocked.
"I think so …" Lin Muyu was a little embarrassed to attack.
Xi Yan's beautiful eyes swept the surroundings and said, "Don't you feel that something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"Many things … are coming …"
"That's right!" Qin Yin looked at the grass in the distance and said, "It's a poisonous snake. Be careful, it's the snake king, and it's summoning poisonous snakes to help it!"
Sure enough, the grass and leaves in the surroundings constantly trembled. Poisonous snakes appeared in everyone's field of vision, and they were all poisonous snakes. It was common knowledge that there were many poisonous snakes deep in the mountains, and there were many poisonous snakes on the outskirts of the Star Spirit Valley. From afar, there were thousands of them.
"Some of these poisonous snakes can spit venom."
Lin Muyu knew more about poisonous insects and beasts, and said, "Activate the Wall of Divinity and Shield of Vigor. Don't let the venom come into contact with you, or you'll be in trouble."
Then, he looked at the snake king coldly. He could not let it go this time.
He raised his palm, and the Invisible Elephant Spell activated automatically.
"Hum hum hum …"
The mountain range trembled, and in the next moment, a huge boulder fell from the top of the cliff, smashing into the Serpent King's head with a loud bang. As the boulder shattered, the Serpent King howled in pain. Lin Muyu brandished her sword wildly in the air, and the Sword Qi rained down on the Serpent King's body like rain. The Serpent King's skin and flesh were lacerated, and finally, the sword stabbed heavily into the Serpent King's head.
Around them, Qin Yin opened her Flaming Eyes, and a whirlwind of raging flames quickly burned the poisonous snakes to death. Tang Xiaoxi also set fire everywhere, while Xi Yan waved the Chiyue Sword, and beams of Sword Qi poured out.
"We can't stay here any longer."
Lin Muyu looked at the snake king's open stomach, and there were only two corpses inside, and said, "Let's go into the Astral Spirit Valley. Not all of our people were killed by this snake king."
"Okay."
Several figures flew into the Astral Spirit Valley. This snake king was obviously just a guard, and the danger in the Astral Spirit Valley was no less than here.
