Chapter 160 The Golden Thread Serpent is both difficult to find and difficult to kill
Half a day later, the group finally reached the foot of the mountain and began to disperse.
Zhong Lingxin slung a bamboo basket over her back, avoided the crowd, and began to search for grass fungus on the ground.
The Lingyun Sect disciples ignored him and continued laughing and cursing as they walked into the mountains.
Zhong Lingxin walked slowly into the mountains, turning over several hillsides before heading south.
Yuyang Spring is located on Nanshan Mountain.
After traveling for several days, Zhong Lingxin's bamboo basket was filled with batches of mushrooms, and she gradually made her way to a canyon.
There is a type of jade lily in the canyon, which is a medicinal ingredient in beauty-enhancing elixirs.
Zhong Ling thought of digging up a few plants and planting them in the Nine-Story Pagoda.
After rounding a cliff, the sounds of fighting came from ahead.
Zhong Lingxin looked up at the cliff. To get around it, she would either have to fly on her sword or take a long detour.
She decided to take a detour.
She came looking for jade lilies, and she could also pick a few other medicinal herbs.
But a delicate fruity fragrance wafted out from the canyon wind, and she inhaled the aroma several times.
This is the scent of cherry blossoms.
Although the Red Cherry Fruit is only a second-tier spiritual fruit, it is sweet and sour, with thin skin and tender flesh, making it especially delicious.
Zhong Lingxin had only bought a few in Qingling City, and she could never forget the taste after eating them.
Now, there's a cherry tree here, and she wants to uproot the whole tree.
The fight was between two groups of cultivators.
Judging from their witty remarks, it seemed that one group of cultivators had discovered the fruit and were picking it when another group of cultivators arrived.
The second group of cultivators was particularly domineering and ordered the first group to hand over their storage rings and all their magical treasures, or they would be killed.
The first group of cultivators naturally objected.
After exchanging a few words, the two sides started fighting.
The second group of cultivators were clearly more powerful and possessed more magical treasures than the first group.
Soon, the first group of cultivators was defeated, and two of them were seriously injured.
The leader of the second group of cultivators grinned maliciously and ordered his henchmen, "Go, kill them!"
The first group of cultivators exchanged glances, pushed the youngest one to the back, and whispered to him to run fast later.
As soon as he finished speaking, the first group of cultivators, each wielding a magical weapon, launched a desperate attack.
Two of the second group of cultivators were sent to intercept and kill the youngest one.
The first group of cultivators went berserk, and one of them self-destructed.
The sound of the self-destruction echoed throughout the canyon.
The young cultivator roared in grief and indignation, "Third Uncle!"
The second group of cultivators, whose two members were killed in the self-destruction, were furious, but dared not push any further.
Right there, a white light suddenly shot up from the canyon.
The white light quickly reached the second group of cultivators. In the blink of an eye, the leader of the second group screamed and, along with the white light, flashed over the cliff and fled into the distance.
In the air, only a trail of blood fell.
Everyone was shocked, and someone exclaimed, "It's a white ape! It's that white ape!"
It turns out that there is a fourth-tier demonic beast, a white ape, in Flying Ape Gorge, which is very close to here.
The white ape does not usually attack cultivators.
But today, the white ape not only launched an attack, but also crossed the line.
The cultivators were all shocked and quickly ran towards the edge of the cliff.
Zhong Lingxin stepped aside and saw that among the second group of cultivators, there was one who cursed her with particularly nasty language.
She gave a cold laugh, ran past the monk, and kicked a small stone, hitting his right leg's Huantiao acupoint.
The monk felt a numbness in his right leg and then fell forward, tumbling down a huge rock.
Everyone quickly ran away. Zhong Lingxin walked into the cliff, used both hands to pull up the entire red cherry tree, rolled it up, and put it into a huge jade box.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, it was as if he had tossed it into a storage ring.
In reality, she was thrown into the Nine-Story Pagoda.
Lingyun Peak is Lingyun Sect territory, and she dares not be too careless now that she is deep behind enemy lines.
Although it took some effort, it was enough to protect my Nine-Story Pagoda.
Right in front of the red cherry blossom tree, she dug up several jade lilies, thus completing her mission of entering this canyon.
She looked up at the cliff and decided to fly up from the left.
Just as she flew low close to the cliff face, she caught a glimpse of a bright little grass out of the corner of her eye.
The grass grew between two giant rocks, invisible from both the bottom and top of the cliff.
Zhong Lingxin recognized it as a Jade Lotus Bud, a fourth-order spiritual herb for body refinement.
She looked inside and saw several jade lotus buds shimmering with light.
Zhong Lingxin was overjoyed. Her body refinement and spiritual sense had both reached the third level, and she was currently worried about collecting fourth-level spiritual herbs.
Jade lotus buds are exactly what she needs right now.
But she dared not venture further.
The crack in the rock was too small, and there was a faint smell of water coming from it.
She thought for a moment, then gave a soft shout towards the crack in the rock: "Hey!"
This soft shout employed a sonic attack.
Sure enough, there was a slight tremor in the crevice.
Zhong Lingxin threw three flying blades at the spot where the light tremor was.
As soon as the flying blade entered, a snake's head sprang out from the crevice. The pitch-black snake head attacked Zhong Lingxin like lightning, and a mouthful of black, foul-smelling venom flew towards Zhong Lingxin's face.
Zhong Lingxin was prepared. With a flick of her left hand, a jade box swirled into a small whirlwind, collecting the black, foul-smelling venom inside.
Seeing that its attack had failed, the snake's head retreated swiftly.
Zhong Lingxin then gently shouted "Hey!" at the crack in the stone.
Taking advantage of the noise coming from the crack in the rock, he threw out three more flying blades.
Perhaps the flying blade struck something, because Zhong Lingxin heard the sound of something breaking.
Then, the snake's head darted out again like lightning.
This time, the snake seemed extremely angry. It spat out several mouthfuls of venom, and its tongue flicked back and forth towards Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin took out another jade box and spun it gently, collecting all the venom.
At the same time, several flying blades appeared in her right hand and shot towards the snake's head.
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin was merely hovering in front of the cliff and maneuvering against it, the snake had no choice but to shrink back into the cliff face.
This time, no matter how much Zhong Lingxin tried to coax it out, the snake wouldn't come out.
Having no other choice, Zhong Lingxin took her longsword and widened the crack in the cliff face.
As she slashed with her sword, the snake darted out again.
Zhong Lingxin finally saw clearly that this was a fourth-order golden-line snake with a very obvious golden line on its back.
The golden thread on the back of the golden-thread snake is a snake tendon, which is extremely flexible but also contains potent venom, making it an excellent material for crafting poison whips.
However, golden thread snakes are both difficult to find and difficult to kill.
Little did she know that she would accidentally stumble upon one today.
Knowing that things were unlikely to end well today, the golden thread snake stopped retreating. It stretched its head back and forth, spitting out mouthfuls of venom as it guarded the crevice in the rock and began to fight Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin sheathed her flying blade, and with a wave of her hand, a long sword appeared in her hand, gleaming with golden light, and streams of spiritual energy slashed towards the golden thread snake.
