Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 34 Red-Eyed Serpent

"Look."

“That dense net was destroyed by the demon. Look at this fence, it was just repaired yesterday.”

It's broken again.

Looking over, Liu Sijun saw a large hole in the dense netting that hadn't been repaired, and the scent of fresh bamboo from the newly patched fence hadn't yet dissipated...

The monster changed its location and entered the sheepfold last night.

Not only do they steal chickens and dogs, but they also cause damage everywhere. It's really despicable!
Before coming here, Liu Sijun wondered if it was a weasel that had become a spirit. Now, seeing this huge cave, it is clear that the monster's true form is enormous.

"Tell me again in detail what you saw that night, about the monster."

Lu San nodded and began to recall.

"Because I had already lost dozens of chickens, I became more cautious at night, wanting to catch the chicken thief myself. The night before last, I waited until the early hours of the morning before I finally heard noises outside."

Lu San was extremely excited at the time.

Catching the chicken thief means the lost chickens can be recovered.

Lu San approached stealthily with a machete, but only the whirlwind swirled fallen leaves in the air; the chicken thief was nowhere to be seen.

He was unwilling to give up, so he waited there.

Soon, a demonic aura approached, followed by a rapidly moving black mist. Before Lu San could see clearly, with a "bang," the fence was smashed, the chickens and sheep were swept away, and the mist broke through the dense net and escaped.

Now that they were out, Liu Sijun wanted to earn the reward. Before the host could even speak, Liu Sijun took a step forward, closed his eyes, and made a hand seal, his spiritual energy covering the entire sheepfold.

Lu San is also a cultivator.

Knowing that this method was used for searching and tracking, he said, "I've already tried it, but it didn't work! That monster is extremely good at hiding."

Liu Sijun opened her eyes with a smile, and with a flick of her delicate hand, she recreated the scene from that night.

Lu San exclaimed, "Impossible!"

Even he, with his fourth level of Qi Gathering cultivation, couldn't achieve this, yet a girl at the third level of Qi Gathering...

What about playing?
But the scene was exactly the same as that night, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

The look in Liu Sijun's eyes changed from disdain to admiration.

"Now that we've found their trail, let's go and meet them."

Liu Sijun's address of "Lord of the Tower" once again shocked Lu San.

"Is he the owner of the building?"

See? They don't believe the owner of Wuji Tower would come in person. Liu Sijun, with a mischievous grin, pulled the man in front of Lu San: "The real deal."

"That's true!"

"Did you go to Wuji Tower for help early yesterday morning?"

Lu San nodded.

Although he lost his chickens and sheep.

But those things can be bought for a few medium-grade crystals.

Someone like the original poster personally came to find him chickens.

Let's not even talk about whether we can find a chicken.

The fact that the owner of Wuji Tower came to find him chickens is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.

Lu San unintentionally revealed his true feelings, which made Liu Sijun laugh even more heartily.

Gu Changzhou looked helpless.

Liu Sijun's face was not visible.

He himself did not know.

Having found the traces of the monster, the two did not delay and immediately set off in the northeast direction.

The area is all mountains, with high peaks and dense forests, teeming with insects and ants.

It is the perfect hiding place for demons.

"there!"

Gu Changzhou's longsword pointed at a swamp, its surface covered in black water and emitting a foul stench, perfectly concealing the demonic aura.

Liu Sijun clasped his hands together, his middle fingers slightly bent, and quickly flipped them to form a hand seal, instantly covering the entire swamp with spiritual power.

Before long, the monster hiding inside could no longer contain itself and flew out.

Wow, what a huge worm!

It was a red-eyed snake. Standing upright, it was easily three zhang tall (approximately 10 meters), with a thick body, crimson eyes, and a protruding fleshy growth on each eye…

Oh, I'm seeing things.

It wasn't a tumor, but rather mud from the swamp.

To scare her, it opened its mouth wide and hissed at her, its sharp teeth covered in green slime.

"Good heavens, it stinks."

The stench emanating from the red-eyed snake, combined with the miasma permeating the swamp, created a truly unique and unpleasant smell.

Liu Sijun held his breath, and a long sword was suddenly in his hand.

"Did you steal the chickens and sheep from the farmers at the foot of the mountain?"

The Crimson-Eyed Serpent had gained sentience and reached the Body Tempering stage, equivalent to an early-stage Golden Core cultivator. Looking at the human standing before it, who was only at the third level of Qi Gathering, it tossed its head and said, "I ate him."

"Then spit it out."

The red-eyed snake's eyes were filled with shock.

This nun has an even bigger mouth than it does.

"Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up too?"

Liu Sijun slashed with his longsword: "If you eat me, you might have indigestion."

She didn't have much patience. If it weren't for the fact that the red-eyed snake didn't seem to have any evil aura and hadn't harmed anyone, she would have already stabbed it with her sword.

Enraged, the Crimson-Eyed Serpent lashed out with its massive tail, sending a gust of demonic wind mixed with swamp mud crashing towards him. Liu Sijun immediately formed a hand seal, creating a magic circle in front of him to block it all.

He thought this whole operation would be enough to scare the female cultivator away.

But it was easily resolved.

"You cunning female cultivator, you're hiding your cultivation level."

Fortunately, it didn't do anything outrageous: "I only ate a few chickens and sheep, and didn't harm anyone, why should I do this?"

"So you're still right?"

Liu Sijun said, "Eating chicken is fine, but you can exchange it for other things. When you come to human territory, you have to abide by human rules."

Upon hearing that he had to pay for a chicken, the red-eyed snake immediately felt aggrieved.
"You think I want to come?"

It was born in the Frozen Domain, where many people come to train every year, and one wrong move could cost them their lives.

After overcoming countless hardships, they secretly hid in these deep mountains, rarely venturing out of this swamp. When hungry, they would find food nearby, and they lived peacefully for many years.

However, as its cultivation level increased, its appetite grew larger and larger. All the prey in the deep mountains had been eaten. It endured it again and again, but it still couldn't resist sneaking down the mountain at night to find food.

Although it was a demon, it remembered that it could not harm people, much less eat them.

The Crimson-Eyed Serpent thought it was already a very good demon.

The more I think about it, the more wronged I feel!
Liu Sijun's expression was strange.

She hasn't even said anything yet, so why is she acting all wronged?
"Alright, stop crying."

It's such a big lump; it's kind of creepy when it cries.

"You said you wanted to exchange something, but what would a snake demon like me have? You're just after my demon core."

"When did I say I wanted your demon core?"

"don't want?"

The Crimson-Eyed Serpent's enormous head paused, its red eyes darting around: "Human cultivators, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back."

“I only said I don’t want your demon core, but you must compensate the farmer for his chickens and sheep.”

The strange crying of the Red-Eyed Serpent rang in my ears again.

She cries so easily.

Could it be a baby snake?
When he comes of age, he shall not be allowed to occupy half of the mountain.

“There must be plenty of medicinal herbs in these deep mountains and dense forests. Gather some for the farmer, consider it a barter, and let's call it a day. But if you want to eat chicken again, you'll need his permission!”

The red-eyed snake readily agreed.

Go back and explain the situation to the farmer, who agrees, and the matter is considered resolved satisfactorily.

Gu Changzhou just watched the whole thing.

Liu Sijun knows what the poster is thinking!
Exorcising demons is the duty of every cultivator, in order to ensure the normal survival of the people.

If there are demons hiding there, they are usually driven away or killed directly. This can minimize trouble and save a lot of energy.
