The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3104 The Great Serpent's Pleasant Life

Chen Mo set up the formation here to conceal his aura, preparing to retrieve something from the Qiankun Pearl as a backup plan.

He was currently alone, but having heard the roars of the strange beasts, he sensed that there were quite a few of them. Therefore, he wanted to find some helpers within the Qiankun Pearl. If enemies came, he could hide in the shadows and use the helpers he found to attack them.

In this way, not only can I protect myself and avoid any danger, but I can also continue to be the sixth person in my family.

As for the helpers he found, what if they can't beat the enemy? They'll just have to deal with it. If they can't win, why not just run away? Chen Mo doesn't have a stubborn streak. If the enemy is strong, he'll definitely run away without saying a word.

Of course, when he runs away, he will definitely take Ouyang Ruoxi with him.

As he activated his true essence, all 108 array bases lit up instantly and then fell in all directions, activating the entire array to protect him. All his aura and other energy were imprisoned within the array, preventing even the slightest leakage.

Even so, Chen Mo still felt uneasy. The Qiankun Pearl was no ordinary object; it was his life and fortune, and it concerned everything he had. Therefore, he could not be too careful.

Take out the array plate. Although it is damaged and not yet repaired, it can still be set up without any problems. At least the isolation array, shielding array, and other arrays can still function normally.

After the array in the array plate was activated, Chen Mo took out the talismans again and cast them on himself one by one. Then he sat cross-legged at the core of the array and connected with the Qiankun Pearl in his dantian.

In the distance, the dark figure standing on the back of the strange beast seemed to sense the energy fluctuations emanating from the mountain gate. However, since he was still some distance away from the gate, he didn't pay much attention to these energy fluctuations.

He knew that the stone statues behind the mountain gate were all Vajra puppets, and each time they were activated, there would be fluctuations in spiritual energy. It was possible that the intruders had disturbed the Vajra puppets after entering the mountain gate.

In that case, these invaders will have something to do. The shadowy figure chuckled at the thought.

Fortunately, the shadowy figure didn't sense the energy fluctuations of the Qiankun Pearl, thanks to Chen Mo's caution and the several layers of protection he had placed on himself. If it were just one array, or no array at all, the shadowy figure would definitely have sensed the energy fluctuations.

At that time, even if Chen Mo ran to the ends of the earth, he would still be hunted down by the shadowy figure.

The Qiankun Pearl is a priceless treasure, and any cultivator who comes into contact with it would definitely want to possess it.

Chen Mo possessed quite a few valuable items, having acquired numerous treasures from various events. Unfortunately, many of these treasures were currently unusable.

Just like the golden helmet and the spear on it, they can't be used. After all, these things haven't been refined yet. They've been kept inside the Qiankun Pearl since I obtained them, and I can only take them out and use them when I have time.

Just like the layers of monsters inside the helmet and spear, there are definitely enough of them, but these monsters cannot be used yet. After all, the helmet and spear have not been refined yet, and it is unknown whether these monsters will attack the enemy or him if they are taken out.

Inside the Qiankun Pearl are also the spiked monsters obtained underground in Cambodia. These monsters are strong enough to deal with ordinary martial artists, but they are not suitable for fighting the monsters in the lake. Besides, the spiked monsters are also treasures; their spikes and skin are valuable, and it would be a pity if even one of them died.

However, the nine strange beasts he obtained in the canyon could be used. But these beasts should only be used as a last resort. After all, once they were used, there was no guarantee that the enemy wouldn't recognize them. If they knew how Qingxuan Zhenren controlled the beasts and seized them, Chen Mo would have nowhere to turn. Therefore, what he was currently focusing on was the giant snake that was comfortably resting inside the Qiankun Pearl.

Since he got busy, this giant snake has been living a comfortable life of eating and sleeping. Especially since Chen Mo didn't have time to enter the Qiankun Pearl, he didn't throw the giant snake into the grazing area to suffer mental torture.

Therefore, the giant serpent's life was truly extremely comfortable. Especially the lake within the Qiankun Pearl, where the fish and other food sources more than satisfied its needs. And since there were no enemies within the entire Qiankun Pearl, wouldn't the giant serpent simply eat and sleep, sleep and eat?

Furthermore, the giant snake's cultivation was simply a matter of satisfying its energy supply; it could cultivate while coiled up and sleeping. This was something Chen Mo greatly envied, as he himself had to utilize his time for cultivation and consume spiritual elixirs. This giant snake, however, could cultivate simply by closing its eyes and sleeping. This was why Chen Mo always threw the giant snake into the livestock area whenever he saw it—he was truly envious.

The giant snake was sleeping, its spiritual energy flowing slowly within it, and its strength gradually increasing with the flow of spiritual energy. Its current strength was several times greater than when Chen Mo had absorbed it into the Qiankun Pearl.

At that time, Chen Mo was only at the Qi Refining stage, yet he was able to defeat the giant snake. However, if Chen Mo had encountered the giant snake back then, he might have been swallowed whole.

But at that moment, the giant snake felt a chill run down its spine and sensed that something was wrong!

Immediately, the giant snake opened its eyes, and its scarlet vertical pupils began to look around. Could it be that the bad guy has come again?

Please, please, it's not that bad guy who showed up, otherwise it would definitely be tormented by him again. Thinking of the enormous figure it saw when it was thrown into the livestock area, the pressure emanating from that figure could have instantly made it faint.

Although each instance of this can enhance its spiritual awareness and strengthen its mental power, the process is truly painful and unbearable, especially the momentary dizziness after experiencing mental pressure. Every time it happens, it's an ordeal.

If the giant snake could curse, it would have given Chen Mo a thorough dressing-down. Unfortunately, it couldn't curse; it could only transmit its consciousness through mental power. But unfortunately, Chen Mo wouldn't accept its consciousness and always acted independently.

Sigh, thinking back on those painful experiences, the giant snake really wanted to bite Chen Mo a few times, but it had already recognized Chen Mo as its master and could only accept it helplessly.

Well, life here is a hundred times better than life in the underground lake. Especially since delicious food is readily available, and the spiritual energy is abundant, much higher than in the underground lake. That's why its strength has increased so much in such a short time.

So, apart from the occasional disturbance to my mental consciousness that causes me to feel dizzy, everything else is fine.

So, the giant snake looked around and even looked up, not seeing Chen Mo, before comfortably closing its eyes to continue its cultivation. These days are truly wonderful; it would be even better without that guy disturbing it.

But just as the giant snake closed its eyes, it felt as if a shadow flashed before its eyes.

This is……

Damn it, that guy's here!
