Chapter 29: Azure Water Python

  "This is not your Qingfeng Village, Lu Tianhu!" Seeing that Lu Tianhu was about to take action again, Tuo Jiu shouted angrily. This was his territory, and although he himself couldn't wait for Xu Hua to die, if he let Lu Tianhu take action here, where would he put his face?

  Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhu looked at Tuo Jiu, who was blocking his way, with an unpleasant expression. At this time, Dong Tienshu and Xu Long intervened, saying: "Excavating the ancient ruins is more important, let's put everything aside for now! We can't afford to have internal conflicts at this time, otherwise I won't agree first."

  Lu Tianhu could only reluctantly let out a hum and returned to his seat. The bald man beside him looked equally unpleasant, as Xu Hua had stared at him deeply just now, making him feel like he was being stared down by a ferocious beast from the wilderness, and his heart was filled with great fear.

  "Let me introduce you, this is Xu Hua, and the one next to him is Luo Cheng." After Lu Tianhu returned to his own position, Tuo Jiu introduced Xu Hua and Luo Cheng to several people.

  "Liú Yún Zhài, Dǒng Tiān Shū!"

  San Huan Village, Xu Long

  The two of them slightly bowed their fists to Xu Hua, and Xu Long continued enthusiastically: "You two young masters are truly dragons among men! At such a young age, you already possess such strength, your future achievements will surely be boundless!"

  "Thank you, Master Xu, for your praise. I don't dare to accept it!" Xuhua and Luocheng found a place to sit down, smiling in response.

  "Alright, everyone, our goal is the ruins. If we can obtain the many treasures within the ruins, everyone will be able to rapidly increase their strength and may even become a powerful Martial Emperor, ruling over a region." Da Jiu said directly.

  As expected, once he said that, everyone's attention returned to the topic of the ruins. Lu Tianhu smiled and said: "That three-stage Bishui snake is not easy to deal with! Tuojiu, you'd better tell us clearly, or else we'll be at a disadvantage."

  "Right, Brother Tuo, you must have had dealings with that beast before! Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited us!" said Xu Long.

  "The range of third-order demon beasts has increased, and the more powerful ones among them can kill a late-stage martial king. The weaker ones are not something that an ordinary early-stage martial king can handle either. Although we're not bad, we're not opponents for those peak third-order demon beasts." Dong Tian Shu's face also became somewhat solemn.

  "I did indeed cross hands with that guy, but I reckon he's at most equivalent to a mid-peak martial artist of the Martial King realm; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking the same way. However, Tuo Jiu thought to himself at that moment: "You're all going to send yourselves to death, but the forces backing you are a trouble indeed!"

  "If it's really as you say, then there won't be a big problem. However, once we enter the ancient ruins, how will we divide those treasures?" Lu Tianhu said.

  This is what everyone cares about most, why did they come? Isn't it for the treasure in the ruins?

  "What kind of treasure is in the ruins, I don't know, nor do I know how much there is. Here are two ways."

  "Everyone gets what they deserve based on their abilities and opportunities."

  "Two: All acquired spiritual instruments, skills, and treasures shall be shared equally among everyone."

  Tujiu looked at several people, waiting for their response.

  "I'd like to know, what if it's divided equally? Is it divided by the number of people or is it divided among our five forces?" asked Xu Long.

  "Of course it's divided by influence"

  "If I were to snatch the treasure, what would you do if you came to rob me?" Dong Tian Shu obviously didn't quite believe Duo Jiu.

  "Everyone agreed that whoever gets it first will own it. If someone really tries to rob us, then we'll all work together to kill them, how's that?" A glint of murderous intent flashed in Lu Tianhu's eyes.

  "Good!" "Good!" "Good"

  The four immediately looked at Xu Hua and the other person. Xu Hua immediately said: "Very well, we have no objection."

  "Let's go then! Since we said so, let's take action! The ruins are right in front of us, I can't wait any longer!" Xu Long said excitedly.

  "I can't wait any longer."

  "It's reassuring when it's in your own hands."

  Tujiu saw that everyone's opinions were so unanimous and it was not good to refuse, so he took a group of 14 people to the large water pool in the center of Jiuzhaigou.

  On the road, Xu Hua and Luo Cheng were talking in a low voice.

  "Lu Cheng, treasure is secondary, as long as we're alive, everything is possible. This time, survival is the top priority."

  "Understood, young master! Luo Cheng is clear!"

  Lu Tianhu is one of three people.

  Lu Tianhu said: "Later on, if there's a chance, I'll definitely get rid of these two little brats."

  "Boss, you can't even beat him, we two can only see him and run." The bald head looked somewhat helpless.

  Lu Tianhu didn't look at him, but instead looked at Hei Pao and said: "Hei Pao, I know you're very powerful. Even if you're not as strong as me, you won't be much weaker than me either. If you join forces with me, we still have a chance to kill that little brat."

  "Everything will be done according to your orders." The black-robed man said expressionlessly.

  "Alright, if we succeed, I'll introduce you to Niu Er Gongzi when we get back." The power behind him was none other than Niu Er Gongzi of the Niu family in Luocheng.

  "Thank you, host."

  Xu Long is one of three people.

  Xu Longdao said: "Be careful of Tuojiu, this guy is notorious for being ruthless and cunning."

  "Yes!"

  Dong Tian Shu and his party, Tuo Jiu and his party are also the same.

  Soon, a group of people led by Tujiu arrived at the front of the large pond in the center of Jiuzhaigou.

  Looking at the water pool in front of me, which is over 100 meters long and 50-60 meters wide, I gaze towards the distant mountains.

  "Everyone follow me! The ruins are in this pool, about 10 zhang deep. However, the nest of the Azure Water Python is right in front of the ruins, so to enter the ruins, we must kill the Azure Water Python. Since it's disadvantageous for us to fight in water, we must be extremely careful." Da Jiu said very seriously.

  Plop

  Tujiu was the first to jump into the water pool, and the crowd followed closely behind.

  Plop... plop...

  Taking a deep breath, everyone jumped into the water and started diving down.

  Perhaps it was in the depths of the valley, where the water was icy and bone-chilling. Fortunately, everyone was a strong martial artist; if an ordinary person had fallen into it, they would not have been able to withstand such cold water.

  In the pond, although the water is icy cold, there are still fish living in it. As people swim around, they can spot small white fish, only two or three inches long, swimming about everywhere.

  Xu Huayun turned "Devouring Life Technique", and apart from the people beside him, he couldn't sense any other living beings with stronger life aura.

  The Shui Tang is not very large. After a while, everyone did not see the so-called ruins, only a pitch-black passage.

  In front of us, in the water, there was a huge, pitch-black hole that seemed to lead nowhere.

  Tu Jiu waved his hand, indicating for everyone to enter.

  The cave was really dark and couldn't see any light. Fortunately, Tuojiu had prepared early and took out a night pearl to illuminate the road ahead.

  Unaware of how far they had traveled, the crowd saw a light flashing in front of them and hastened their pace, advancing forward. Xu Hua also followed suit after casting "Life Devouring Technique" to sense for any threats, but found none.

  Pffft, pffft, pffft

  One by one, heads emerged from the water's surface, eyes opened, and they took deep breaths. What Xu Hua saw was a very spacious cave, with water dripping down from the stone walls above, making a "drip, drip, drip" sound.

  "Where is the demon snake?"

  "Where is the relic?"

  "Don't be impatient, this is the road leading to the ruins."

  The twinkling fluorescent spots above the cave illuminated the entire cave, and people in the water climbed ashore, shaking off the water stains and looking towards the passage leading to a deeper part of the cave.

  The cave twisted and turned into the depths, unknown how deep it was, but at this moment no one wanted to retreat, the temptation of the ruins was not something ordinary people could resist.

  "Brother Tuo, you've been here many times, so let's have you lead the way from now on!" Xu Long looked at the entrance of the cave which was over 10 feet high and turned to Tuo Jiu.

  Tu Jiu nodded and walked ahead, the other thirteen people followed closely behind him, constantly looking around cautiously.

  As they made their way forward through the cave, winding and twisting for hundreds of feet, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

  In front of the cave was a pool of water, and in the center of the pool was a large green lotus that occupied half of the pool. Next to it was a huge and ferocious head leaning against the lotus leaf, and a ten-zhang-long emerald python was sleeping soundly. Perhaps the arrival of the crowd had awakened the dormant snake, and Xu Hua could even feel the snake stirring.

  "This green lotus is a heavenly material!" Someone in the crowd couldn't hold back their nerves and trembled as they shouted out, this was indeed a heavenly material! After consumption, it could greatly increase a warrior's strength!

  "Fool, you'll wake up the Bi Shui Mang." Dong Tian Shu gave the man beside him a knock on the head and said with hatred in his mouth.

  "The demon snake is about to wake up, everyone hurry and strike it down while it's still not fully awake." Xu Long shouted as he stared at the demon snake's slightly raised eyelids.

  "Hurry up..."

  "Kill!"

  Fourteen warriors each used their own methods, strongly launching a killing move that shot out and struck the yao snake lying in front of them, instantly startling it awake.

  "Hiss...hiss"

  Having withstood several attacks, the awakened serpent wailed in agony, its icy triangular pupils flashing with hatred. The massive snake tail, as thick as a man's thigh, whipped towards the crowd with a powerful force that left people breathless.

  "Ah...... it hurts so much...... my ribs are broken!"

  "My arm is broken..."

  After all, it's a Bishui Mang, originally known for its strength, let alone becoming a third-stage demon beast. It's impossible to resist its powerful force without being a Martial King.

  "Its power is so strong, don't collide with it head-on, attack its seven inches..."
