Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

“… …”

“Heh heh.”

Wang Shanlu and Chengji both revealed smiles.

The only difference was that one was more reserved, while the other was a bit less considerate, laughing out loud directly.

“Senior Brother Wang, what are you laughing at?” Xu Chengxian was displeased.

“Laughing at your overestimation of yourself, laughing at your insatiable greed, laughing at your attempt to swallow an elephant with the heart of a snake!” Wang Shanlu said without any politeness.

Honestly, just find a suitable clam, quickly break the restriction, take out the contents, reseal it, and leave.

Why ask them if they didn't want the others besides the selected one?

What was the point?

“Hmph, even if we said we didn't want them, how many could you take away?”

Clams weighing ten thousand jin, what kind of magical artifact could casually hold them?

How much mana would it take to put them into a personal storage artifact?

Let's not even mention these things for now.

Xu Chengxian's background was extraordinary; within the sect, he had a powerful and highly respected master who cared for him deeply, not only giving him a spiritual snake companion but also a high-level magical artifact for storage.

Moreover, his snake pet had a rich blood essence and could use its power to capture several large clams and reseal them inside the storage artifact.

But there were thirty-four large clams here.

Among them, four were even larger than the ones they had chosen.

“We were just worried that we wouldn't be able to break the restrictions within a hundred breaths, reseal the treasures, and take them away, so we each selected one.”

Wang Shanlu chuckled, “Junior Brother Xu, your behavior reminds me of a saying.”

“What saying?”

“The saying is, 'A puppy has never seen a big pile of dung!'”

“… … Senior Brother Wang, you talk too much nonsense!” Xu Chengxian said with a sneer, “Are you going to divide the rest or not? Give me a straight answer!”

“Junior Brother Xu, even if you're greedy, just pick a clam bigger than ours, and that's it.” Chengji said, “Even if you can't break the restriction, we can help you out then.”

The implication was to advise Xu Chengxian not to be impulsive.

Based on their cultivation levels, they should each choose a suitable clam to work on.

Don't waste any more time.

“Hurry up and get started!”

“Almost ten breaths have already passed out of the hundred breaths.”

“Tsk, forget it, I'll just ask directly.” Xu Chengxian didn't want to waste time either, raising his head and saying, “Senior Brothers, let me be frank.”

“Hmm?”

“If I take all the rest out, will you ask me to split the loot?”

“… …”

“… …”

“Senior Brothers?” The flower snake tilted its head.

Chengji remained silent, while Wang Shanlu revealed a mocking expression.

“Senior Brothers, are you going to say something, Senior Brothers!” The flower snake slapped the ground with its tail, urging them on.

“Heh! Junior Brother Xu, don't be polite, take them, take them quickly, take as many as you can!” Wang Shanlu laughed, “Senior Brother will definitely not want any of yours!”

Hmph, forget it.

Good advice is hard to give to a fool.

When the time comes, he will enter the treasure mountain but return empty-handed.

He can't blame his kind-hearted senior brother then.

Of course, conversely, he can't ask his senior brother to split the loot either.

“… … Junior Brother Xu, go ahead and do as you please!” Chengji, focused on breaking the restriction, lowered his eyes and said indifferently.

He also didn't believe that Xu Chengxian could take much out.

Even if he had some ability and could take out one or two, it wouldn't be enough to make them jealous.

Even if the best one was taken away by Xu Chengxian, they wouldn't try to snatch it.

After all, it was just a treasure trove of the River Dragon King; moreover, this White Dragon King had cultivated for thousands of years, and he would have used up all the cultivation resources he could use long ago.

So, what was placed here were mostly magical artifacts of different grades that weren't suitable for his own use, as well as semi-finished spiritual materials, and so on.

Of course, there were things in every clam.

Everything could be exchanged for top-grade spirit stones.

But it wasn't enough to make them have the idea of forcefully snatching them.

Moreover, everyone still had a deal to make later.

“Senior Brothers, then we have a deal.”

Xu Chengxian chuckled, “Senior Brother Wang Shanlu, Senior Brother Cheng Kong, we cultivators value our words as much as white dye on cloth. If you go back on your word, be careful of problems during the Heavenly Tribulation!”

“You brat!” Wang Shanlu glared, “Dare to curse us?”

“I didn't!” Xu Chengxian flicked his tail, “As long as Senior Brothers keep their word, I'll wish you smooth sailing and great luck during the Heavenly Tribulation! Not only will you successfully overcome the tribulation, but you'll also receive spiritual energy transforming into rain!”

As he spoke, he had already swam to the edge of the clam shell closest to him.

“Hmph hmph.” Considering that his last sentence sounded very nice, Wang Shanlu decided to let him off the hook.

Of course, it was also because he was still fully focused on breaking the restriction and couldn't spare the effort to hit the snake.

In addition, he was also waiting.

Waiting for Xu Chengxian to gain nothing, then he would laugh at him properly!

… … But on second thought, Xu Chengxian was so arrogant, could it be that he really had something to rely on?

Did he have other means to take away a few more clams?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but keep a close watch on that flower snake.

“I'll see how many clams you can take!”

Then.

In the next instant.

Wang Shanlu's pupils contracted.

The mana emerging from his palm vibrated for a moment.

He saw that the flower snake first rolled on the ground, then transformed into a size of seven or eight zhang.

However, its appearance was very strange.

Its head was three zhang wide and three zhang long, but the lower half of its body was still the size of a millstone.

Then.

Pfft!

The flower snake spat out a large cloud of blood essence, enveloping the three clams in front of it.

Then, the blood essence wrapped around the large clams, lifting them up one by one, with the smaller end facing the snake's mouth.

At this time, the flower snake's blood basin-like mouth had already opened.

It bit the first clam, then tilted its head back.

With a gulp.

The large clam, shimmering with a halo, was swallowed in this way!

… …

“Swallowed it?” Wang Shanlu blinked.

Not far from him, Chengji's eyelids also twitched almost imperceptibly.

Obviously, he was also paying attention to Little Flower's movements.

And the methods of Xu Chengxian's snake pet did exceed their expectations.

“Without breaking the restriction, it swallowed the clam whole?” Wang Shanlu frowned.

That was a mirage pearl clam weighing tens of thousands of jin!

Even if it swallowed it, how would it take it away?

“This might not be appropriate.” Chengji frowned.

He knew that the flower snake's main body was hundreds of zhang in size.

Could it be that it was going to restore its original thickness, swallow the clams, and drag them away?

Not to mention whether the flower snake's physical body could withstand tens of thousands of jin of things shaking inside its belly.

Even if it could withstand it, this wouldn't work.

Don't forget, they were here to steal things, not to forcibly rob treasures!

But before he could open his mouth to stop it, he saw that the flower snake, after swallowing the clam, had swallowed the remaining two in succession.

Its body didn't seem to change.

“Eh?”
