Yang Chen was not surprised by Viper's action. Snakes liked to coil up, even if they had cultivated to become demonic beasts. On the contrary, such a situation would make people less suspicious. At most, they would see Viper as a demonic beast or pet that Yang Chen had tamed, and they would not be too guarded against him.
Yang Chen stretched out his hand and let Viper coil up his arm. He frowned and asked, "Have you thought it through? You need at least a few years to master the Transformation Art before you can transform into a human. Are you going to follow me like this? You don't want your territory anymore? "
"Because of my body size, I have been trapped in this place for thousands of years. I have never left the Desolate Valley." Viper, who was coiled around Yang Chen's arm, kept flicking its tongue and sent out a thought, "Even if I can hide my aura, my body will be discovered. Once I cross the border, I will have to fight with a few fellows for a long time. What's the point of fighting for territory? I want to see more places and see a wider world."
This was a demonic beast with ideals. Yang Chen had nothing to say about it. In fact, since it had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm, if it was not for its body size, it could have traveled around a long time ago. This kind of being trapped in a corner, to put it nicely, was dominating the territory and no one dared to provoke it. To put it bluntly, it was clearly a prison, just that the cell was slightly bigger.
"Over the years, have you fought with any experts?" Yang Chen did not stand on ceremony. Bringing this guy along was definitely the best bodyguard and the best hidden weapon for sneak attacks. Anyway, with Viper's demon soul in hand, there was no need to be too cautious. Why not? As they walked forward, Yang Chen asked.
"A few hundred years ago, a few experts came. It seemed like they wanted to set up something here." Viper kept moving around Yang Chen's body. While answering questions, it also kept probing Yang Chen's body. Now, it had stopped at the side of Yang Chen's belt. It kept flicking its tongue and observing, "After a few fights, those people retreated. Actually, in the past thousand years, very few people have come to provoke me. Every time, it's an expert. They leave after a fight. It's very boring. "
Hundreds of years ago, Yang Chen secretly estimated in his heart, those guys should be the people who set up the formation. Viper seemed to have chased them away, but those people definitely did not retreat in the face of difficulties. They had already set up a formation and used the opportunity to leave.
However, Yang Chen would definitely not tell the Viper about this. He only requested the Viper to tell him about the distribution of spiritual energy in his territory. Viper did not have the slightest intention of going back on his words. He quickly sent what he knew directly into Yang Chen's Divine Sense.
A terrain map that was more than ten times larger than the Subterranean Beast appeared in Yang Chen's mind. The area it covered was so large that even Yang Chen was dumbfounded. This guy's territory covered almost half of the Barren Sand Valley, and it bordered the Subterranean Beast's territory. Yang Chen easily pieced it together. Instantly, at least a quarter of the Barren Sand Valley's formation map appeared in Yang Chen's mind.
"Did that little guy in the south tell you that I'm here?" Viper immediately sensed something the moment Yang Chen's mind moved, especially when it was pieced together with the Subterranean Beast's territory.
"That's right!" Yang Chen did not hide anything. The Subterranean Beast was able to obtain a territory on the edge of the Viper's territory, presumably because the Viper had not crossed the line. Otherwise, with the Viper's powerful strength, it would have long swallowed up the territory. Moreover, the Viper addressed him very intimately. There must be some connection between them.
"That little guy knows how to endure. Many people like to walk towards it and give it food." The Viper scurried over to Yang Chen's other arm. "I wasn't as smart as it was back then. Now, no one dares to come. They don't even have the chance to eat some nourishing stuff. They can only absorb spiritual energy themselves." There was a deep sense of regret in their exchange of thoughts.
Yang Chen had long known that the Subterranean Beast was not simple, but he did not expect the Viper to give it such a high evaluation. The matter here had been settled, and he had even obtained the temporary help of a powerful demon beast. Yang Chen did not want to waste the Viper's knowledge. He immediately asked, "Which of your neighbors is easier to talk to? Go ask for directions."
"The west!" The Viper had no intention of hiding anything. In any case, it was following Yang Chen to leave this place, so it did not matter which direction they went. Since Yang Chen needed it, he would introduce an old friend to him. There would probably not be any trouble, and he could also show off in front of these old enemies.
The Barren Sand Valley was a place for training. Since it was a training ground, it was necessary to keep some powerful demon beasts for the disciples to achieve the goal of training. Therefore, the experts of the sects would not kill all the demon beasts here. As for a powerful creature like the Viper, it was the best opponent to train experts. Even if someone wanted to get rid of it, there would probably be a large number of people who would not be willing.
This was also one of the reasons why the Viper wanted to leave this place. Yang Chen did not ask about this, but he could imagine it. It was also because of an existence like the Viper that Yang Chen was able to figure out the direction of the formation in a short period of time. From there, he could deduce where the Earth Element True Essence was being led to.
The people who set up this natural formation would never have thought that there would be a freak like Yang Chen, nor would they have thought that there would be such a heaven-defying Beast Taming Technique. Something that had been set up for hundreds of years had already been uncovered by Yang Chen. The Earth Element True Essence that had been hidden for so many years might not belong to anyone in the near future.
By the time Yang Chen found the right direction and began to move, the Viper had already coiled around Yang Chen's neck. Its long body had almost wrapped around Yang Chen's entire body. If an ordinary person were to see a ten-meter-long snake coiling around a person's body, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
Of course, such a situation could not be easily seen in front of the cultivators. Fortunately, this was the Viper's territory. Usually, unless it was an expert, no one would dare to come in. Yang Chen deliberately slowed down his speed and even gave up flying on his sword. He switched to walking, while the Viper sped up his cultivation of the Transformation Technique during this period of time.
By the time Yang Chen walked out of the Viper's territory, it was already a month later. During this period of time, the Viper had already cultivated the Transformation Technique to perfection. Now, his body had shrunk from ten-meter-long to three-feet-long, and it had shrunk by ten times. A three-feet-long snake coiled around Yang Chen's arm. It was no longer as eye-catching.
The moment he left the Viper's territory, the Viper let out a hissing sound and released his divine sense, as if he was informing an old friend that he had arrived at his territory. However, in the eyes of Yang Chen, this was more like a challenge than a notification.
