Chapter 35: Hunting the Demonic Snake (Please recommend and collect)
It was almost noon, and the scorching sun gradually climbed to its highest point, pouring its light equally onto the land.

Under the sunshine of all things, there is a deep and dense forest that blocks the sunlight, leaving only a few strands, which barely penetrate and reflect some light.

The standing trees are not like ordinary trees. Each one is extremely huge, and there is not a single leaf that moves even when the wind blows.

There was total silence and stillness, and the entire forest looked like a landscape painting.

Suddenly, a slight change broke the feeling of the painting.

A small green snake poked its head out and quietly crawled out of the cave. It stopped and started crawling, and its black tongue kept sticking out from its head to sense the surroundings. It seemed to be extremely cautious.

Calling it a small snake is just a comparison between it and the trees next to it. Just looking at its body, it is as thick as an adult's arm and nearly two meters long.

For a snake to grow to this extent, it can be seen that its cultivation is not shallow.

When it carefully crawled over a piece of broken wood, suddenly a tiny sword energy came towards its vital point!

When the green snake's sword energy was released, it sensed Chen Mu hiding in a big tree nearby.

It quickly twisted its body, unable to dodge, and used other parts of its body to block the sword energy.

The next moment, the sword energy slashed on its snake body, splashing a line of blood, but did not cut its body off.

A hint of anger flashed in its pair of snake eyes, and it raised its head to look at the enemy in the tree.

This person was none other than Chen Mu. He had been hiding from the demon snake for several days. Although he had used the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique to conceal his aura very well, to the outside world, he looked like a piece of rotten wood, and the demon snake could not detect him.

But the demon snake was extremely agile. As soon as he cast a spell, the demon snake could sense his location, and even a sudden attack could not kill it. In the past few days, it had escaped two or three times...

At this time, the demon snake was raising its head to look at Chen Mu on the tree, with a human-like sneer in its pupils.

It seemed to be telling the story of Chen Mu's repeated failures...

The next moment, the snake turned its head and crawled towards the cave at an incredible speed.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. The cave of this demon snake was small and narrow, with crisscrossing passages. Once it escaped into the cave, he could only wait for it to come out on its own.

Although the demon snake's intelligence is not high, it is not stupid. After being ambushed several times, it is unknown when it will come out from here again...

After thinking through the pros and cons in an instant, Chen Mu's eyes were determined.

"Looks like I have to take some risks..."

The next moment, Chen Mu used his magic power to protect his hands. His magic power made his body light, and after repeatedly performing the Wind Walking Technique, he tapped the tree trunk with one foot. Then he fell from the sky like an arrow and rushed towards the fast-swimming green snake.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu caught up with the little snake, and with his dark blue hands, which were flowing with magic power, he suddenly grabbed the snake's neck.

The little snake had no time to dodge and was suddenly held down on its head. Immediately, its mouth opened wide and it let out a ferocious roar.

Seeing that it couldn't bite him, it twisted its head hard and sprayed a stream of black venom towards Chen Mu. A fishy smell followed and hit his face. Its body kept twisting and it put its hand on Chen Mu's arm and was about to wrap around him.

Chen Mu used his magic power to block the venom, but a corrosive sound was heard and the magic power dissipated. Fortunately, it blocked the venom.

As for the snake's body, of course he couldn't let it entangle him. Otherwise, with his body, he would definitely not be able to withstand the huge force of the demon snake, unless he used magic power to protect his whole body.

However, Chen Mu's goal had been achieved. The moment he pressed down the snake's head, streams of rootless water emerged around his arm and instantly wrapped around the body of the demon snake. He also let go of the snake as soon as its body touched his arm to avoid being entangled by it.

The demon snake broke free from its restraints and fell to the ground.

A look of joy appeared in the snake's eyes. As long as it touched the ground, it would be able to escape into the hole in an instant.

But the next moment, the imagined feeling of touching the ground did not come, and instead, he was oppressed by the increasing amount of rootless water and screamed...

Although this snake is incredibly fast, quick to react, and extremely poisonous, if it is trapped and unable to escape, it will take little time to capture it.

"call!"

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. A risky move would surely yield remarkable success. This time, he had finally caught it. The previous times, due to the slow formation of the water prison created by the Fubo Water Diversion Technique, it had repeatedly escaped. This time, Chen Mu simply grabbed the demon snake with both hands, finally trapping it in the trap...

After a moment, the demon snake's body softened and stopped moving...

With the shadow of Senior Brother He Hua, Chen Mu summoned a water blade from afar and slashed at the head of the demon snake.

The water blade slashed through without a sound, and the snake's head fell down, but was wrapped up by the water prison.

Only then did Chen Mu dissipate the Fu Bo Water-Diverting Technique and put the body and head of the demon snake into a storage bag he had bought when he entered the mountain.

Then, without stopping, it fled silently in one direction.

An hour later, Chen Mu came to a stone wall facing the sun. Following the marks he left, he walked to a corner, moved a stone that seemed to be integrated with the stone wall, crawled in, and then sealed the stone wall again.

When he first came in, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything else. After Chen Mu adjusted himself for a while, he slowly opened his eyes. What came into his sight was a stone chamber that was ten feet square. This was a shelter he had dug out by magic after entering the mountain.

Before taking action, he deliberately used the mountain wall as a starting point and circled around to see if there were any powerful monsters. In addition, this mountain wall faced the sun, and some of the vicious monsters in the forest did not like it, so Chen Mu finally chose this place...

He took out the storage bag containing the snake body, poured out the contents skillfully, peeled the skin and took out the gallbladder, and of course the most important demon pill.

Chen Mu lifted the demon pill and examined it carefully. Like the snake's body, it was an extremely emerald green, only about the size of a longan. Gently shaking it, he could see a faint green mist inside the demon pill, which was indistinct and hard to discern...

"It's no different from the inner elixir of other first-stage mid-stage demon beasts..."

Chen Mu placed the demon pill with other valuables, such as snake skin, snake gallbladder, a pair of snake fangs, and even poured out a small bottle of venom...

They were put into the storage bag together with three demon beast inner cores of different colors.

Chen Mu tidied himself up, then sat cross-legged and fell into deep thought.

It had been a month since he entered the mountains. At the beginning, he was indeed surrounded by dangers. On the first day he entered, he provoked a group of wolves and was chased by them for two days before he finally got rid of them.

On the ninth day, I accidentally strayed into the territory of a late-stage first-order demon beast. I relied on the explosive speed of the Wind Walk technique to escape from the demon pig...

But as he stayed in the mountains longer, he gradually figured out some of the rules of the jungle, becoming more cautious, patient and skilled.

During this period, he killed one first-level early stage monster and two first-level middle stage monsters. Until today, he killed another first-level middle stage monster snake.

Even though the number wasn't huge, if I sold these demon cores and some of the precious items from the beasts, I could at least get over 300 spirit stones...

"No wonder some independent cultivators would rather risk their own lives to come here and fight for that ray of hope..."

If he hadn't accidentally obtained a little bit of the simple inheritance of the Way of Talismans, if he wanted to reach his current situation, he would probably have to hunt for demon pills in exchange for resources like these casual cultivators...

Chen Mu shook his head, retracted his wandering thoughts, and calmed himself down.

Speaking of human monks, I don’t know if Chen Mu is lucky. In this month, he has not encountered those crazy people who want to kill monks.

He had only seen some wandering cultivators from afar, and he didn't approach them to talk to them, because if he wasn't careful, he might be misunderstood and then start a fight.

“It’s better to have less trouble than more…”

"The previous few demon pills were not suitable for practicing the Complex Water Technique, but this demon snake inner pill is worth considering..."

Chen Mu's eyes showed thought as he placed his hands together and rubbed them gently.

"If I use the inner elixir of this demon snake, perhaps my magic can become somewhat toxic..."

"However, seeing as that demonic snake isn't some alien species, I'm afraid its venom... can only improve my combat power, but I'm afraid it won't be that great..."

"Forget it! I'll search for a while longer. If there's really no suitable one, then it can only be that demonic snake..."

After Chen Mu made the decision, he immediately regained his composure, took out the Tianling Pill and swallowed it, and began his daily practice without fail.
