Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 155, Hearing the Secret

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since they exchanged the secret books, and Zheng Lan had already begun practicing the Dragon Elephant Body secret book.

Because her foundation is very solid and Zheng Lan herself has a high level of comprehension, there are ten levels of Dragon Elephant Body, and she has already practiced to the second level. Her progress can be said to be very fast.

The effect of Zheng Lan's practice of the Dragon Elephant Body is very obvious. Her strength and defense have been greatly improved compared to before. I believe that with continued practice, she will be able to approach Wang Li's level, with enormous power and unable to be harmed by ordinary swords.

Wang Li was even more exaggerated. He had now reached the eighth level of the Dragon Elephant Body Secret Manual. This was because Wang Li was very strong, and the level of the Golden Body Secret Manual was far higher than that of the Dragon Elephant Body Secret Manual.

In addition, Wang Li is now stronger than Dan Jin warriors, so it is normal for him to make rapid progress in practicing this body-refining secret book.

After practicing the Dragon Elephant Body Secret Manual, Wang Li's strength was improved, but not very obviously.

The obvious change is in his defense. He can feel that his defense is now more than 20% higher than before.

Don't underestimate this 20%. Wang Li was already able to defend against ordinary swords and knives before. Although he still can't defend against bullets now, it is difficult for better swords and knives to hurt him.

After practicing the secret techniques under Wang Li's guidance, the Long family members' techniques became more agile and varied. Combined with the Dragon-Elephant Body, their practice system became more perfect and their overall strength was enhanced.

They are very grateful to Wang Li for his unreserved guidance, which has enabled them to make such rapid progress.

Before going to bed that night, Zheng Lan pulled Wang Li mysteriously and whispered: Guess what I saw?
Wang Li was very surprised at this time. You know, his wife has seen a lot of things. She must have seen something very special to ask such a question.

Wang Li asked: What did you see?

Zheng Lan whispered: I helped Long Zhan’s mother cook today. His mother asked me to go to the warehouse to get some seasonings. Guess what I saw?
I saw a huge skull in their storeroom. I felt that it looked a bit like a snake's head, but it was too big.

If we go by the proportions of that thing, I estimate it could swallow a cow, let alone a human.

Wang Li was slightly shocked when he heard her words. He did not suspect that his wife was exaggerating to him. She was not that kind of person.

Wang Li did not doubt that the skull was fake, because the technology was not available at the moment, so it must be real.

Judging from this, it should have been hunted by the Long family. Considering the tall walls surrounding Longjia Village, he understood why they did this.

Obviously, it is used to defend against that giant snake. If you think in this way, everything can be explained.

Wang Li said to his wife: I will ask Long Zhan tomorrow and we will know. Wife, it is getting dark, you should go to bed early! Here I come!
The next day, Wang Li got up refreshed. After sparring with Long Zhan and his son, he pulled Long Zhan aside and asked: Your sister-in-law saw a huge snake head in your storehouse yesterday. Did you hunt it?

After hearing Wang Li's question, Long Zhan's expression darkened and he replied: You finally found it. Yes, the snake head was the prey, but it was not killed by me. It was killed by my father and some uncles in the village.

As you can see, the snake's head is quite huge, so you can imagine how big the snake is.

Actually, there is nothing to hide! You already know that we were sent here by the Banner Emperor to guard the dragon vein. But in my grandfather's generation, when he was young, one summer night, the earth dragon turned over here. (Earthquake)

The next day, people who went out hunting discovered that there was a deep crack in the ground in a valley about 5 kilometers away.

At first our people didn't take it seriously, but in the following month, they found that the prey around them was decreasing sharply.

At first we thought it was because we hunted all year round, causing the surrounding prey to flee to other places to survive. Until one day, only three people returned from a hunting team of five, and all of them were injured.

They brought back bad news that they found a giant snake over 15 meters long in the forest. They had never seen this kind of snake before, and it moved very quickly.

When they were camping at night, one of the men was sneaked up on by the giant snake, which swallowed him in one bite while he was not paying attention.

Only then did the other hunters attack the giant snake, and at the cost of one person's life, they finally repelled the snake.

At this point, the villagers finally realized that the real reason for the decrease in prey in this area was the emergence of a new type of large snake.

Finally, most of the experts in the village were mobilized to search the nearby mountains and forests, and indeed, they found several more of those giant snakes.

After investigation, it was discovered that the big snakes crawled out of the crack. During the day, they would crawl back into the crack to avoid the sunlight, and would crawl out of the crack to hunt at night.

After several more fights, we analyzed that the giant snake's scales were very hard, and ordinary knives and arrows could only leave shallow scratches on the surface and could not really hurt the giant snake.

Only masters above the level of Dark Power can truly hurt and kill them by utilizing their own strength.

It was also from that year that our family started the war with the giant snake.

Through analysis over the years, we have learned that the giant snake is extremely afraid of sunlight and is very afraid of the cold.

They only crawl out of the cracks and hunt on the ground in the summer. This is why you haven't encountered any giant snakes in such a long time here.

In order to defend against the giant snake, my people began to build a wall outside the village from that time.

And every summer, the village's experts are organized to hunt the giant snakes that crawl out from the cracks.

The skull that my sister-in-law saw in the warehouse was the one my father and his men brought back after hunting the giant snake.

The population of our village is growing slowly because of the casualties caused by fighting with giant snakes every year.

After listening to him, Wang Li finally understood the reason why this village was strange. He also understood why they still had so many martial arts masters in peacetime. It turned out that they were forced to train because of years of fighting with giant snakes.
