After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 993 The Bashe snake appears, scaring everyone to death!
The water monkey was like a warrior facing death, leaving with extraordinary determination.

"This guy shouldn't cause any trouble, right?"

As the water monkey disappeared from sight, Mo Yuan said something.

The water monkey wasn't very intelligent; it even doubted whether it had remembered Chen Yang's instructions, and it might really cause trouble.

"Why don't you go?" Chen Yang suggested.

"Me? Forget it!"

Mo Yuan gave a dry laugh, telling it to go; with its current cultivation level, it was probably no different from sending it to its death.

Even at its peak, it might not be able to defeat a Divine Fiend in the late stage of the Dao True Realm.

A dozen minutes later, the water monkey arrived at the foot of the mountain. Without stopping, it carried the elephant carcass up the mountain.

The mountain is steep, but it poses no challenge for a professional climber like it.

Seeing the water monkey ascend the mountain, Chen Yang dared not follow it with his spiritual power any longer. If the being on the mountain felt offended, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

All we can do now is wait.

He can maintain real-time contact with the mountain king and the water monkey through the mountain king's seal.

On the mountainside of Dong'e Mountain, near the north side, there is a similar crack to that of Bei'e Mountain.

However, the rift valley in Bei'e Mountain is a road, while the rift valley in Dong'e Mountain is a river.

Waterfalls cascade down the mountains on both sides of the rift valley, flowing into the river. The rift valley slopes from east to west, and the river flows directly west out of the mountains.

Several streams flow up the mountain, converging together. At the foot of the mountain, they merge with several rivers inside and outside the mountain, thus forming the Bailong River, which runs east to west.

Dong'e Mountain is basically the source of the Bailong River.

Within the rift valley, waterfalls cascade down the cliffs on both sides, their waters gurgling softly.

For the water monkeys, these geographical conditions are practically home.

It arrived at the valley entrance, but instead of rushing in, it placed the wild elephant's carcass on the ground, roared inside, and extended its spiritual energy directly outwards.

It's just visiting someone's home; all it needs to do is let them know it's there so they'll show up and meet it.

Bashe likes to eat elephants, and he brought a gift full of goodwill. Even if the other party has a bad temper, it shouldn't make things difficult for him for the sake of this wild elephant, right?

It's impossible for the water monkey not to be afraid. It was still somewhat uneasy, after all, this serpent had a notorious reputation and its combat power was many levels higher than its own.

……

-

Time flew by, and it soon got dark.

The night in the fir forest was a bit chilly, so Chen Yang lit a campfire, and the fir branches crackled as they burned.

There has been no news from the water monkeys.

"what happened?"

Chen Yang picked up the Mountain King Seal and contacted the Water Monkey.

Soon, the water monkey's voice rang in his ears, "I don't know, that snake hasn't shown up yet..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang frowned slightly.

That location was provided by Wuling. Wuling had been to Dong'e Mountain many times, and the area around the Rift Valley was a place where the Bashe (a type of snake) was often active.

Even if the mist spirit was dishonest and lied to him, the water monkey had been up the mountain for so long, roaring and shouting. With the strength of that serpent, it shouldn't be unaware that the water monkey had come up the mountain.

Could it be that it's too cold and hibernating?
The water monkey said, "Should I go into the valley and attack the mountain wall like that day?"

"Don't."

Chen Yang quickly called for a halt, saying, "Wait patiently a little longer. If it doesn't show itself, leave the elephant carcass behind, retreat, and we can discuss this further later."

That day at Bei'e Mountain, it was this water monkey that randomly attacked the mountain wall and accidentally stumbled into Bei Zheng's cave.

That time, it was because Bei Zheng had a good temper that he didn't argue with them, but what kind of temper does this Bashe have? Do you dare to go and smash the door directly?
"Ok."

The water monkey responded, and it was simply following orders; of course, it would do whatever Chen Yang said.

……

After losing contact, Chen Yang glanced towards Dong'e Mountain before returning his gaze to the flickering campfire in front of him.

"What if this Bashe doesn't cooperate? We can't just force our way up the mountain, can we?" Mo Yuan asked.

Chen Yang shook his head. To be honest, he hadn't figured out how to do it either.

If the Bashe doesn't comply and forces its way up the mountain, the danger would be immense, not to mention the possibility of finding some mountain king's cave.

Mo Yuan hesitated to speak.

Chen Yang ignored him and instead started planning where to find the Mountain Lord's Cave after he went up the mountain.

The Mist Spirit did point out a few suspicious locations, but regardless of whether its words are credible or not, even if they are credible, the points it mentioned are only slightly more likely.

If the Bashe (a mythical snake) is willing to open the door, perhaps we can get some useful information from it.

As the guardian beast of Dong'e Mountain, the Bashe has lived on the mountain for countless years, and no one should know Dong'e Mountain better than it.

Time passed second by second, and one cedar log after another burned in the fire, but there was still no good news from the water monkey's side.

Every now and then, the roars of water monkeys could be heard from the mountain, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet night sky.

However, the Bashe never appeared.

Did they not take the water monkey seriously at all? Or was the gift they gave not generous enough?

Mo Yuan held back for a long time, as if he had to say something, but in the end he couldn't hold back any longer, "Master, if all else fails, we might as well add some seasoning to the wild elephant carcasses. If they don't cooperate, then we'll have to find a way to deal with them..."

Putting everything else aside, this guy is truly heartless.

Feeding a snake a mind-dispelling pill? It's really daring. It didn't provoke you. If it finds out, can you bear the consequences?

Moreover, the Bashe is the guardian beast of Dong'e Mountain. If you were to deal with it, it would definitely have a serious impact on the rules of the cave.

Of the four great mountains in the east, west, south, and north, only East Emei Mountain and North Emei Mountain still have their boundaries. The guardian beasts of West Emei Mountain and South Emei Mountain are probably no longer restricted by the rules of the cave heaven. After dealing with the Bashe, only the North Zheng is left to guard it. This cave heaven secret realm is definitely going to be in chaos.

"Who are you going to deal with?"

Chen Yang shook his head and was about to speak when a mental transmission suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Of course it's that one..."

Mo Yuan thought it was Chen Yang talking to it, but halfway through the conversation, it realized something was wrong; Chen Yang's voice didn't sound like that at all.

In an instant, both the man and the rat shuddered.

At the same time, look back.

Just twenty or thirty meters behind them, nestled among the shadows of several fir trees, stood a massive, dark figure, its red eyes staring intently at them in the firelight.

At this moment, both the man and the rat were practically petrified.

Chen Yang's brain instantly went blank, his mind went completely blank, his whole body stiffened, and then a chill ran down his back, and goosebumps rose on his skin.

This aura, this oppressive power.

Bashe!

It's definitely a Bashe!
In the glow of the campfire, it can be seen that this giant snake is at least fifty meters long and extremely thick.

Its entire body was covered in bluish-black scales, and its enormous head, as big as a truck, was suspended in mid-air. Its two eyes, like lanterns, were fixed on Chen Yang with vertical pupils. The invisible pressure made Chen Yang not dare to move an inch.

Dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Chen Yang could clearly sense the malevolent aura emanating from the giant snake.

……

"Ding! SS-level Divine Fiend [Bashe] detected. Encyclopedia entry unlocked. Reward: [Heart-Seeking Pill] *20. Item has been placed in system space and can be retrieved at any time."

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Mission: Hunt the SS-rank Divine Fiend [Bashe], progress (0/1)."

Reward: [Dao Zhen Pill] *1

……

A system notification sounded in my mind.

The chilling coldness extinguished even the last glimmer of hope in Chen Yang's heart.

It really is a Bashe (a type of snake).

Chen Yang felt numb from head to toe.

It's so big, Chen Yang would believe it could eat a dinosaur, let alone an elephant.

Shouldn't this snake be on Dong'e Mountain? How did it end up coming down the mountain?

Moreover, his radar was always on, so how did it get behind him so silently?
Mo Yuan's black fur stood on end; he had truly encountered his natural enemy.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Who did you just say you were going to deal with?" Bashe flicked its tongue.

A strong, unpleasant fishy smell hit him, making Chen Yang feel nauseous.

The oppressive aura made people very uncomfortable.

Chen Yang quickly composed himself and bowed slightly to the snake in front of him, saying, "This rat was just playing a joke, senior, please don't take it to heart..."

That really killed me.

He had imagined many scenarios of meeting this serpent, but he never expected the situation before him to completely disrupt all his plans.

"Heh!" Bashe chuckled upon hearing this, his eyes fixed on Chen Yang. "Where are you from? What's your name?"

Chen Yang said, "This junior, Chen Yang, is an Emei disciple who was fortunate enough to enter this secret realm in search of opportunities. I was just about to pay my respects to you, senior..."

"A disciple of Emei?"

The giant snake tilted its enormous head, seemingly re-examining Chen Yang. "Do you have any identification?"

This snake is quite cautious. You're not bald and don't have any identification. Just because you say you're an Emei disciple doesn't mean you are.

Chen Yang had no proof. After thinking for a moment, he directly used the Golden Body Dharma Technique to condense a golden body Dharma image.

A phantom image of a Dharma body, several meters tall, suddenly appeared, almost level with the raised upper body of the Bashe.

Bashe paused for a moment, his vertical pupils contracting slightly.

The next second, the Dharma form vanished.

Chen Yang said, "What I just demonstrated was the Emei Sect's unique Golden Body Technique, the 'Dharma Image Golden Body Technique.' I wonder if it can prove my identity?"

"Ah."

Bashe gave a noncommittal reply, "The people who came in this time are quite a bit more skilled than before."

"You flatter me, senior."

"No need to be modest. I rarely praise people. It is truly rare for someone so young to have such cultivation."

Bashe said calmly, then asked, "Did you kill that old bastard surnamed Shi?"

His eyes are as bright as a torch.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's heart tightened suddenly.

The old man surnamed Shi?
Stone Elephant Ascending?
Surely this Bashe (a type of snake) wouldn't have any connection with Shi Xiangsheng?
If these two have some kind of relationship, then if I admit it, wouldn't I be finished?

In that instant, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Yang.

They shouldn't have any connection. After all, if Shi Xiang Sheng had any connection with this Bashe, why wouldn't he dare to go up Dong'e Mountain? Why would he send Wu Ling to sneak up Dong'e Mountain several times to scout the way?
Thinking of this, Chen Yang nodded. "How did you know, senior?"

"Ah."

Bashe chuckled lightly, "Outside of Dongshan, how could a single blade of grass or tree escape my notice?"

Chen Yang paused.

Are you just bragging?
How large is the area outside Dong'e Mountain that you can monitor at any time?

But Chen Yang only dared to complain in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Why kill him?" Bashe asked.

"Reporting to you, senior, this man deserves to die..."

"How deserve to die?"

"..."

Chen Yang did not hide anything and told Ba She in detail about the matter entrusted to him by the Udumbara flower, as well as the grudge between him and Shi Xiang Sheng.

After listening, Bashe didn't say much, and directly changed the subject, "That water monkey on the mountain, you brought it?"

They stopped dwelling on Shi Xiang Sheng's matter.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "I originally wanted to go up the mountain to pay my respects to the senior in person, but there's a sealed boundary on the mountain. I was afraid that if I angered the senior, I wouldn't be able to return. So, I sent it up the mountain first to deliver a visiting card..."

"Why don't you just confess!"

Bashe chuckled, expecting Chen Yang to have some other explanation, but he didn't expect him to directly admit that he was afraid of death.

Chen Yang chuckled awkwardly, "I heard that you love eating elephant meat, so I specially brought you some snacks..."

He retrieved several wild elephant carcasses from the system's inventory, attempting to win over the Bashe. "This is only a part. If you like, senior, I have quite a few more. Among them is an elephant king at the Dao True Realm..."

Bashe glanced at the elephant carcass on the ground, but seemed less pleased and more displeased. "Young man, do you know your crime?"

The powerful aura was suddenly released, and Chen Yang's hair stood on end instantly. He almost felt his soul jump out of his head. He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he couldn't breathe.

"Senior, please calm down. I don't know where I have offended you?" Chen Yang struggled to maintain his strength and withstand the oppressive aura, and quickly called out.

Everyone says this snake is unpredictable and temperamental, and this is the first sign of that.

Chen Yang's forehead was covered in sweat. "At least let me die knowing why!"
After talking so much with the snake, he even thought that the snake was easy to talk to, and that the rumors might not be true.

The slap in the face came too quickly.

"Humph."

Bashe snorted coldly, "I eat elephants only to satisfy my appetite. Taking a bite occasionally is simply a matter of natural selection and the law of nature. But you, in order to please me, have indiscriminately slaughtered creatures from outside the mountains. Tell me, what is your crime?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Senior, please let me explain..."

Despite the oppressive aura, Chen Yang dared not be negligent and hurriedly explained the cause of death of these wild elephants to Bashe.

"Senior, you are wise. The death of these wild elephants has nothing to do with me."

After listening to his explanation, Bashe's imposing manner subsided slightly.

Chen Yang suddenly felt a sense of relief.

However, the oppressive aura returned the next second, "So, you're going to feed me these dead elephants?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was at a loss for words.

Does a dead elephant cease to be an elephant?

Could it be that this serpent only eats live elephants? What taboo did the dead elephant break?
Did you fail to flatter him and end up making a fool of yourself?
"Please forgive me, senior. I had only heard that you like to eat elephants, so when I came across this herd of wild elephants, I simply took them for you. If you don't like them, please pretend I didn't say anything. I'll take the elephant carcasses with me and dispose of them myself..."

"Since it's already been given away, why would you want it back?"

"Uh, what do you mean, senior?"

"Didn't you say there was another elephant king at the Dao True Realm? Send it up the mountain for me later."

"This……"

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Yes, as long as you like it, senior, I will do my duty without hesitation."

One second you're complaining, the next you want me to take you up the mountain?
What a complicated snake, is it deliberately playing with my mind?
Bashe tilted its head. "Who told you I like to eat elephants?"

This……

Chen Yang paused for a moment, "That water monkey on the mountain, it told me..."

"Is it?"

Bashe was skeptical, his gaze lingering on Chen Yang for a moment, as if he could see right through him.

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly.

Bashe said, "Why have you gone to so much trouble to find me?"

As the oppressive aura subsided, Chen Yang felt as if a huge mountain had been lifted off his shoulders, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After calming his chaotic emotions, Chen Yang organized his thoughts and said, "Senior, I've heard that there's a cave dwelling of the ninth generation of the Shu Mountain Lord in Dong'e Mountain. Therefore, I'd like to ask you to make an exception and see if I can go up the mountain..."

"I heard it again? Who told you?" Bashe seemed to be completely oblivious to the main point, and his oppressive aura was about to press down on Chen Yang again.

Chen Yang could only manage a wry smile.

I can't possibly say that Bei Zheng told me, or I'd immediately turn against him.

His mind raced, and Chen Yang quickly said, "Last night near the rift valley in the east, I caught a Mist Spirit, and that's what I learned from it..."

"Ah!"

Upon hearing this, the Bashe aura subsided. "That Mist Spirit, is it in your hands?"

"Yes."

Chen Yang nodded, having to admit that talking to this snake was truly exhausting, and his mood was like riding a rollercoaster.

"take it out."

Bashe said it in a calm tone, without any hint of negotiation.

Chen Yang hesitated slightly, but still took out the fire jade that sealed the mist spirit.

"Senior, it's inside!"

Chen Yang held it with both hands and handed it forward.

Immediately, an invisible force lifted the Fire Jade and slowly floated it in front of the Bashe.

"Is this the Vajra Mantra of Buddhism?" Bashe asked.

"Senior has a good eye." Chen Yang flattered him blatantly.

Bashe seemed to re-examine Chen Yang, saying, "You do have some skills. This fellow has run up my mountain many times, but because his physical body is invisible, he always manages to escape. I never expected that he would fall into your hands."

Chen Yang said, "I just happened to know some ways to deal with these kinds of spiritual creatures; otherwise, I'm afraid I would be helpless against it..."

“I’m handing it over to you. Do you have any objections?” Bashe said.

Chen Yang was taken aback upon hearing this.

Its tone didn't sound like it was discussing something with me.

Chen Yang wouldn't be so foolish as to say no at this moment.

Although this Mist Spirit is rare, it is of no use to him anymore. Since Bashe wants it, he might as well do him a favor.

"Senior, please take it. However, this Mist Spirit is quite special. It can only be sealed with the Vajra Divine Mantra. Once it is released, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch again..."
