Chapter 22 – Black Xuan Heavy Snake
Chapter 22 – Black Xuan Heavy Snake
Somewhere on a mountainside dozens of miles away from Gu Yang City.
At this moment, there were dots of silver light floating in midair.
Underneath these silver lights, an osmanthus tree that was about three meters tall was having a silver osmanthus flower blossom out and emitting a refreshing fragrance.
The surrounding aura was continuously gathering towards the silver osmanthus tree, gradually forming a small aura vortex around it.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan came here, what they saw was this scene.
Jiang Chengxuan didn’t have much of a reaction.
After all, he didn’t recognize what this silver osmanthus tree in front of him was, he just instinctively felt that it was so extraordinary.
But Shen Ruyan, who was next to him, had a look of shock on her face, and couldn’t help but blurt out to:
“This is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root!”
“Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root?”
A trace of consternation surfaced on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
The so-called Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots referred to a class of spiritual plants that were born by adhering to the spiritual fortune of Heaven and Earth.
They generally possessed extraordinary special effects.
Some bear fruits that can help people break through their cultivation level, some can allow people to enter a certain state of epiphany, and some have exceptionally powerful healing abilities.
Legend has it that in the oldest and most ancient times, spiritual roots were also said to be innate and acquired.
Some of the fruits produced by them are said to be able to instantly make a mortal ascend to immortality just by eating one, which is magical and incomparable.
Although Jiang Chengxuan had been in the Immortal Cultivation World for more than a hundred years, he didn’t know much about Spirit Roots, only that they were a precious thing.
He never imagined that nowadays, the so-called spiritual root had just appeared in front of his eyes.
This was really greatly out of his expectations.
At this moment, he heard Shen Ruyan continue:
“That’s right, if my guess is correct, this spiritual root should be the Silver Laurel Flower Tree, and it is said that the Silver Laurel Flower Fruit produced by it possesses the efficacy of calming the heart and condensing the mind, and can prevent the attack of the heart demons.
Of course, this is only the efficacy when it’s at a lower rank.
It is said that the Silver Laurel Flower Trees above the fourth rank, and the Silver Laurel Flower Fruits borne by them, possess the efficacy of repairing damage to the Divine Soul, as well as strengthening the Divine Soul, making it a truly unrivaled and exceptional treasure.”
Speaking of this, Shen Ruyan seemed to have sensed something, and her face suddenly just changed slightly.
“No, this Silver Laurel Tree, seems like, it’s about to be promoted to a Second Order Spiritual Root!
And that’s not the most important thing, the most important thing is ……”
Boom!
Without waiting for Shen Ruyan to finish her sentence, the ground where their feet were suddenly burst open.
Immediately after, a black body, covered with a layer of horny scales, nearly ten meters long, with two small protrusions on the head of the giant python, suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes!
“What is this? A second-order top-grade demonic beast, the Black Xuan Heavy Snake!”
Shen Ruyan’s face changed once again.
At this moment, she seemed to have figured out a lot of things, and her expression became very grave all of a sudden.
“Elder Jiang, be careful, if my guess is correct, those demonic beasts from before should have all been driven by this Black Xuan Heavy Snake.
I’m afraid that this demon’s true purpose here is to occupy a second-order spirit vein that is about to be birthed by that Silver Laurel Tree.”
“What? A second-order spirit vein?”
Suddenly hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s face couldn’t help but change.
He who had once been a casual cultivator was well aware of the value of a spirit vein, and just how great that was.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a spirit vein is the root of a cultivator.
If there was no spirit vein, then the cultivation of these cultivators would be completely untenable.
Not to mention that it was a second-order spirit vein, which was already enough to cause several or even dozens of Foundation Establishment clans to fight over it.
Even for a Purple Mansion Immortal Clan like the Shen Clan, a second-order spirit vein would never be ignored.
No wonder it was so hostile to Gu Yang City, which was dozens of miles away.
And immediately after sensing the arrival of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, it had its subordinates attack.
In order to do so, I’m afraid that it wanted to snuff out these hidden dangers of theirs.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
This Black Xuan Heavy Serpent was obviously unable to tolerate the existence of a human city like that not far from its territory.
At this moment, it had clearly regarded this place as its private property.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the Black Xuan Heavy Serpent let out a roar from its mouth.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan inexplicably felt their respective bodies sink.
As if they were carrying hundreds and thousands of pounds on their backs at once, they almost didn’t fall from mid-air.
“Be careful!”
The Three Talents Spirit Shield was immediately offered by Shen Ruyan.
The entire shield instantly enlarged, directly protecting her and Jiang Chengxuan.
Only a rumbling sound was heard, and the red, yellow, and blue rays on the Three Talents Spirit Shield flashed violently.
Immediately afterward, the entire shield was thrown out.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s reactions weren’t slow.
The moment the Three Talents Spirit Shield was thrown away, the two of them immediately dodged away in a hurry, one on the left and one on the right, to both sides.
Boom!
Just at the moment when their figures disappeared, a black snake tail that looked like a small mountain blasted at their original position, sending out a series of sonic booms into the air.
Shen Ruyan, who flashed away to the right, immediately reminded loudly, “Be careful of its natural ability Gravity Domain Field, don’t be hit by its ability again, or else you’ll be in danger of losing your life.”
Gravity Domain Field?
Jiang Chengxuan’s heart immediately flinched.
That feeling of his body suddenly being pressed like hundreds and thousands of pounds of something on his body just now was something he really remembered well.
At that time, it was extremely difficult for him to even think about moving, not to mention fighting back.
Luckily, Shen Ruyan had that one second-order defense magic weapon in place.
Otherwise, just now, even if he didn’t die, he would probably be seriously injured.
It seems that after this incident, he must try to get a defense magic weapon as soon as possible.
Otherwise, this really does not have much of a sense of security.
“Roar!”
At this moment, that Black Xuan Heavy Snake seemed to be eyeing Shen Ruyan.
Only to see its snake tail continuously lashing out at Shen Ruyan, who was located in the air, and there was even a sharp blade in its mouth that seemed like a dark light flying towards Shen Ruyan.
Jiang Chengxuan on the other side of the room couldn’t help but feel his eyelids jumping wildly.
This second-order top-grade demonic beast, its strength, really not ordinary second-order demonic beasts can be compared.
At least Jiang Chengxuan didn’t have the slightest confidence that he would be able to defeat that Black Xuan Heavy Snake.
Thanks to Shen Ruyan’s many treasures, she was able to survive the constant attacks of the second-ranked Black Xuan Heavy Snake.
If she were to do it herself, she would probably have turned around and fled.
But even so, Shen Ruyan’s situation was not optimistic.
According to the current situation, Shen Ruyan she could only support herself for a little while longer at most.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan finally stopped hesitating.
He immediately transmitted his voice to Shen Ruyan and said, “Elder Ruyan, in a moment, I’ll manage to control it for a moment, so you can take advantage of that time and try to heavily injure or even decimate it.”
