I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 26 When the time is right, heaven and earth will lend their strength.
Shanghai, the Zhou family's old residence.

Su Yuan sat there, and although he had never been to the Southern Frontier in person, he was very familiar with the situation on Zhou Yu's side.

This is also part of Gray Mirror's plan. So far, everything is under Su Yuan's control.

"The Valley of Ten Thousand Ravines and Snakes"

Su Yuan's thoughts raced.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is filled with giant snakes. Not to mention humans, even other animals that dare to enter will be torn to pieces by countless giant snakes.

Su Yuan had a way of ensuring Zhou Yu's safety when he allowed Zhou Yu to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Ravines alone.

He had Zhou Yu create a transparent, viscous substance that, when applied to his body, could completely isolate him from his own odor and temperature.

Furthermore, it emits a scent similar to that of snakes, making the snakes in the Myriad Valleys of Snakes believe that Zhou Yu is one of their own.

The transparent, viscous substance was created using a method provided by the gray mirror, employing various medicinal herbs and specific snake eggs as raw materials. It was specifically designed to deceive the sense of smell and perception of the countless snake monsters within the Valley of Ten Thousand Ravines.

Of course, the transparent, viscous liquid is only effective against ordinary large snakes. It won't be very useful if you encounter the giant, ferocious snakes in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, or the two snake mothers.

Giant snakes that have evolved to that level no longer rely solely on their sense of smell.

However, Su Yuan also had a way to deal with this, as long as Zhou Yu obeyed.

In the southern borderlands, outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Ravines and Snake Valley.

Zhou Yu threatened and warned the eight herb gatherers a few times, then followed Su Yuan's instructions and headed towards the side of Snake Valley.

After walking around Snake Valley for thirteen minutes, Zhou Yu heard Su Yuan's voice again.

"Enter Snake Valley from this location."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately stopped and cautiously entered the Snake Valley.

With a whoosh, Zhou Yu entered Snake Valley and looked at everything before him, his breath almost stopping.

As far as the eye could see, the rocks and the ground were covered with snakes, some big, some small, some thick, some thin, covering almost half of the snake valley.

"This"

Zhou Yu's heart was beating faster than ever before. Faced with so many snakes, even a master of internal energy would feel his scalp tingle, let alone a master of internal energy.

However, since Su Yuan didn't let him escape, Zhou Yu had no choice but to stand there with a stiff upper lip.

A moment later, Zhou Yu realized something was wrong; the dense swarm of snakes didn't seem to pose any threat to him.

"Is that the clear, viscous liquid I applied?"

Zhou Yu immediately realized the reason.

"Now, walk slowly forward."

At that moment, Su Yuan's voice came through the miniature earpiece again.

Despite his trepidation, Zhou Yu slowly walked forward after receiving Su Yuan's order.

As Zhou Yuan ventured deeper into the Serpent Valley, he brushed past countless giant snakes, but they seemed oblivious to his presence, as if they couldn't see him at all.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had long forgotten why Su Yuan knew everything about his current situation. At this moment, Zhou Yu only had one thought in his mind.

You must do as 'sir's' orders do.

"Stop."

Su Yuan's voice came through the miniature earpiece to Zhou Yu's ear.

Zhou Yu immediately stopped in his tracks.

There were far fewer snakes here, but Zhou Yu still dared not be careless.

He has now ventured deep into the Valley of Ten Thousand Ravines and Snakes, and a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.

"There's a hole ahead, jump down."

Su Yuan said.

"Caves?" Zhou Yu looked ahead and indeed found a series of dark cave entrances.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, Zhou Yu didn't ask what was inside; he simply jumped down.

Crack! As a master of internal energy, Zhou Yu immediately adjusted his posture after landing and then looked around.

The cave entrance wasn't deep, and light from the outside could be faintly seen.

"here."

Zhou Yu immediately had a guess in his mind.

Below the cave entrance should be the lair of countless snakes in the Valley of Ten Thousand Ravines.

"The signal will be interrupted for two minutes in thirteen seconds. Just stand here and don't move."

Zhou Yu heard Su Yuan's voice again.

Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, the signal from the miniature earphone Zhou Yu was wearing suddenly stopped.

If Su Yuan hadn't reminded him, Zhou Yu would most likely have panicked, since strictly speaking, he couldn't even be considered to have gone deep into the Snake Valley, but had directly arrived at the underground snake lair.

Two minutes later.

Su Yuan's voice came again.

"Keep moving forward."

Zhou Yu composed himself and headed in the direction Su Yuan had indicated.

Zhou Yu didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt that the light was getting dimmer and the smell in the air was getting fishier.

Suddenly, Su Yuan's voice came from beside me.

"Stop! Hide behind that rock on the left!"

Zhou Yu did as instructed without hesitation.

Twenty seconds later, a scraping sound came from behind. Zhou Yu couldn't help but look up and saw a giant snake, one or two meters thick, crawling in the opposite direction from where he had come from.

If he hadn't been hiding here, he would most likely have run into this giant snake.

Even with a transparent, viscous liquid applied to his body, Zhou Yu felt he would still be discovered by the giant snake.

Fifty seconds later.

"Get up and continue walking forward."

Only when Su Yuan's voice came again did Zhou Yu dare to stand up and continue forward. Next...

Zhou Yu paused and hesitated within the bottomless snake pit.

Each time he stopped, he managed to dodge one or more giant, ferocious snakes.

Or rather, those giant, ferocious snakes seemed to be avoiding Zhou Yu, always missing him.

Zhou Yu's mood was like a rollercoaster, never settling down.

at last.

Two hours later.

Zhou Yu arrived at the bottom of the snake cave.

There are no other snakes here, not even the large, ferocious ones.

Zhou Yu glanced at him, then suddenly stopped breathing.

Because at the very bottom, there is a colossal structure that almost blends into its surroundings.

Is this still a snake?

Zhou Yu's mind was a complete mess. The enormous creature was four or five meters thick, several times the size of the giant snakes and ferocious beasts he had encountered before. Even more unbelievable was that there were two bulging points on the head of this enormous creature, which looked ferocious.

"Don't be afraid, the snake mother is currently asleep and won't be able to find you."

Su Yuan's voice came through.

"The Snake Mother? This is the legendary Snake Mother?"

Zhou Yu suddenly woke up with a start.

Before Zhou Yu could think further...

Su Yuan's voice came again.

"Do you see that blood-red Ganoderma lucidum on the right front?"

"Right front?" Zhou Yu looked in that direction and indeed saw a lingzhi mushroom that was only the size of a palm and looked as if it had been irrigated with blood.

"Go over there," Su Yuan's voice came.

Zhou Yu immediately went up, even though the legendary snake mother was right in front of him.

Standing before the Blood Spirit Mushroom, Zhou Yu did not make any rash moves.

Instead, they waited quietly for Su Yuan's next order.

time flies.

At the bottom of the snake pit, Zhou Yu faintly sensed an incredibly long and drawn-out breathing sound.

"Is that the snake mother breathing?"

Zhou Yu swallowed hard.

This breathing was so long that just one breath took ten minutes.

Breathe in and out.

Inhale and exhale.

I waited for a full seventy minutes.

Finally, at the very last breath of the snake mother...

Su Yuan, far away in Shanghai, commanded, "Now remove the Blood Spirit Mushroom and put it into the jade box."

The reason for choosing this time to pick the Blood Ganoderma is that picking it at other times would awaken the sleeping Snake Mother.

Simply put, this Blood Ganoderma originally belonged to this snake mother, and she chose to sleep here for the sake of the Blood Ganoderma.

In this situation, anyone who picks the Blood Ganoderma will alert the Snake Mother.

Only at the end of the serpent mother's seventh breath, when the new breath has not yet entered and the old breath has not yet exited, and when she herself is in a critical state of slumber.

The snake mother will lose her sense of the outside world for forty minutes.

Only at this moment can the blood-red lingzhi be removed without attracting the attention of the snake mother.

Whoosh! The instant he received Su Yuan's order, Zhou Yu reached out and plucked the Blood Spirit Mushroom, then placed it into the jade box he had brought.

"Go back now?"

Zhou Yu looked back in the direction he had come from.

"Keep walking to the left front. At a distance of thirteen meters, there is a passage. Go in and keep climbing up."

Su Yuan's voice came through.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yu immediately did as Su Yuan instructed.

Whoosh! Arriving at the narrow passage, Zhou Yu squeezed in without hesitation and then climbed upwards.

Compared to the stop-and-go journey downhill, the ascent was much faster, and there were no giant or ferocious snakes near this narrow passage.

Thirty minutes later.

Zhou Yu finally reached the ground and saw the scene of the Myriad Valleys of Snakes.

"Out?"

Zhou Yu was somewhat stunned.

Along the way, he brushed past countless giant and ferocious snakes, and even came into close contact with the legendary snake mother.
