I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 65 The Black Serpent's Wrath

It was only six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not yet bright. Sanqing Mountain was shrouded in mist, as if covered by a veil, making it impossible to see its full appearance.

Jiaolongtan is located behind the main peak, about 100 meters away from the original location of Sanqing Temple. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the dark pool in the middle looks more like a cave than water at first glance.

Cold air was rising from the bottom of the cave, making it look like a natural ice cave.

Nature is amazing; I wonder how it came to be.

Zhang Jinwu evacuated all the people on the mountain, but did not stop the group of cultivators and supernatural beings from rushing up.

However, there are also several very conspicuous signs placed on the only way up the mountain: Go up the mountain without permission, and you will bear the consequences!
Whether it's good or bad, you can't stop people from watching; if you want to watch, then watch.

"Uncle, let's go up and take a look too."

As soon as the sound, which was said to be a dragon's roar, was heard, Ji Yu was itching to run up, but Zhang Jinwu stopped her.

There are just too many people, and sometimes danger doesn't just come from the unknown, but may also come from one's own kind.

If someone were to take advantage of the situation and do something to the Ji family's heir on the mountain, Zhang Jinwu would have a hard time explaining it to Lin Qingquan.

Seeing Lin Qingquan carrying Meng Qi over, Ji Yu hurriedly stepped forward to urge them to go up the mountain.

They didn't even notice Xiao Wanghai and Xiao Yinuo who were following behind.

"Old Lin, don't bring the child up. I'll watch over him for you."

Upon hearing this, Mengqi immediately hugged her father's neck tightly, refusing to let go even if it meant death.

She just wanted to go up and take a look. What's the point of leaving her here?

It was rare for Lin Qingquan to be held so tightly by Xiao Qi, and he nestled his whole body into his arms.

He glanced down at his daughter, nuzzled his chin against her forehead, then looked at Zhang Jinwu gratefully and smiled, "It's alright, I'll take my daughter up to broaden her horizons, nothing will happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange cracking sound rang out again from the dark clouds above Jiaolongtan.

There was no thunder or lightning, only a sound amplified countless times, like an eggshell shattering.

Zhang Jinwu frowned even more deeply. "Old Lin, it seems some demons really are born with certain unnatural talents. Legend has it that dragons are born with the ability to summon wind and rain. Do you think this one hidden in Jiaolongtan might be one of them?"

Having guarded the foot of Sanqing Mountain for ten years, Zhang Jinwu's efforts were not in vain. Studying demons had become almost a daily routine for him. He would ponder any rumor or tale he heard about, whether it was from another world or something else entirely.

Whether it's right or wrong is another matter, it's always good to build up your knowledge base first.

Yes, Zhang Jinwu was now almost certain that there was an unhatched dragon egg hidden in Jiaolongtan.

And now, the baby dragon is about to hatch!

Normally, the Dragon Pool was like a stagnant pool, but now a cold wind was blowing, and the dark pool water surged and crashed against the surrounding rock walls. The rumbling sound and echoes were amplified many times over, making it seem very powerful.

By this time, a group of people had gathered at the summit, and many more people had also come up from the other three peaks.

Everyone looked down at the Dragon Pool below with curiosity and solemnity, carefully circulating their inner energy to prevent being pulled by the evil wind and accidentally falling in.

It only looks impressive from a distance; once you get close, it's nothing special. In any case, dealing with such unnatural phenomena is a piece of cake for them.

"Damn! Look down there."

"What what what?"

"A tail! A big tail!" "Where? Where?"

Are you blind?

As soon as the first person spoke, everyone's heads shot up to the side of the cliff, their eyes wide as they peered down.

But after looking around for a long time, all I could see were splashes of water.

Although the crackling sound from the dark clouds overhead continued, and the temperature in Jiaolongtan and the surrounding area was dropping, there wasn't a single ghost in sight below.

It was certain that something was about to emerge from here, but the preparations had taken a bit too long, which meant they didn't react much when they heard the crackling sound from the dark clouds.

"You idiot, what the hell did you just see?"

Some people, growing impatient, began to interrogate the first young man who had spoken up.

"I already said it's the end."

Before the man could finish speaking, a loud "whoosh" came from the bottom of the pool, and the water was thrown up at least twenty meters. As it hit the surrounding mountain walls, the fierce water column also attacked the crowd of onlookers!

The change came suddenly. Some people reacted quickly and retreated in time to avoid it, but others reacted slowly and were hit by the water jets. One person lost his balance and fell into the pool.

"Xiaofeng."

With a cry of surprise, a figure flashed past the cliff face and reappeared grabbing a falling boy. The two paused for a moment above the Dragon Pool, then flashed again.

Lin Qingquan led his men back to the cliff, threw the rescued boy to the ground, frowned, glanced at the woman whose face was pale with fright, then turned his gaze back to the boy and said coldly, "Go down the mountain!"

The boy was also quite frightened. He scrambled to his feet and timidly replied, "I...I understand, Uncle-Master."

Nan Liangfang finally came to her senses, bowed deeply to Lin Qingquan, and left without looking back, no longer staying to watch the commotion. She and her nephew departed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Lin Qingquan who had saved the person.

However, before he could catch his breath, another column of water suddenly shot up from the bottom of the Flood Dragon Pool. Moreover, this column of water seemed to have eyes, not spreading in all directions, but attacking Lin Qingquan alone.

He dodged to the side, the cold pool water splashing against the cliff face and scattering, making it feel like the temperature above had dropped several degrees.

Lin Qingquan sensed something was wrong. He drew his soft sword from his waist and was about to probe the pool when another surging column of water rose rapidly from below, along with a ferocious, enormous black snake head!

Snake demon?

Everyone was somewhat disappointed when they first saw the giant snake; it wasn't a baby dragon hatching, but a snake.

Seriously? It's just a snake, how could its hatching cause such a strange phenomenon?

When did demons become so contrary to the laws of nature?

But soon everyone noticed something unusual: it was a one-eyed snake!
Furthermore, the missing eye was clearly man-made, so it wasn't the one that hatched today.

So, is this snake responsible for protecting the dragon eggs?
Fortunately, they only thought these words in their hearts and did not say them aloud, otherwise Black Snake would definitely go crazy if he knew.

What, the one responsible for protecting the dragon eggs? That's its son, its son!

It is its child with the seventh prince of the dragon clan!
She could have risen in status through her son, relying on his innate talent to enter the East Sea Dragon Palace and become the sixth concubine of the seventh prince.

But a strange incident inexplicably brought it to this world that was completely unsuitable for cultivation, leaving it with no joy whatsoever after finally giving birth to a dragon egg after six litters.

It sadly discovered that what used to evoke envy and jealousy from other demons at the birth of its son only led to slaughter here.
Why?
The black snake was enraged. If it wanted to protect itself and its son, then everyone on Mount Sanqing would die!
