Chapter 20: The dragon and the snake shed their skin, and they became acquainted after fighting each other
Even though he used all his magical powers, he was completely unable to control the dragon snake. All of Su Changqing's spiritual energy was used up to the point of exhaustion.

He was breathing heavily, his eyes were extremely solemn.

Su Changqing knew very well that he could not fight again in his current state. It seemed that he could only retreat first. Even if he couldn't deal with you, he couldn't escape.

Just as Su Changqing was about to take a step to escape from the swamp, he saw something strange happening at the dragon snake's location.

"Fizz!"

Su Changqing could tell from the screams that these were completely different from the cries of being injured, and instead contained a hint of joy.

He didn't know what the dragon snake was doing, but curiosity made him stop and observe what was going on.

When the mist caused by those magical powers had all dissipated, Su Changqing could see clearly that the dragon snake, which had been restless, was now lying quietly on the ground in the swamp. It looked calm and weak, but one could feel that it was still excited.

Su Changqing did not go closer, but looked at it from a distance.

The dragon snake was quiet for a few minutes and finally began to move again. It moved cautiously, and scales began to fall off from its tail, and a layer of transparent snake skin began to separate.

"Shedding?"

Su Changqing looked at this scene and thought of a growth characteristic of snakes. Every time they reach a certain age, they will begin to shed their skin and be reborn.

As monsters, they also retain this ability. Shedding their skin not only brings new life, but also greatly increases their strength, just like human cultivators need to break through the bottleneck of their realm, or overcome tribulation.

Of course, this is also the time when they are weakest, and they need to focus all their energy on molting. If there is any mistake, they will be doomed.

This dragon snake actually dared to shed its skin in front of him.
I don't know whether I should say that it was aware that its spiritual energy was exhausted and it couldn't do anything to it?
Or did it think of itself as a good and faithful man, thinking that it would not take advantage of the snake's misfortune and attack it at this time?
However, Su Changqing did not plan to attack it this time, not because it thought that even if the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted, it would be enough to kill it with a single sword.

Instead, Su Changqing had already acknowledged its strength, and wanted to see how much stronger this dragon snake, which had fought him to a draw, could become after it shed its skin and grew.

An hour later, the molting process of the dragon snake was completely completed.

"hiss!"

With a startling roar, the dragon snake seemed to be venting its pleasure and excitement after shedding its skin.

Now that it was reborn, its body had grown a little bigger, its inky black scales looked even darker under the reflection of the light, its wings on its back had become fuller, and the corners of its forehead began to flash with lightning, giving it an aura that could shock people like thunder.

It looks really mysterious and amazing.

What surprised Su Changqing even more was that the thunder on the dragon snake's horn felt so similar to the thunder of his formation just now. If he felt it carefully, he could even find that the two types of thunder were of the same origin.

In other words, this dragon snake borrowed the heavenly thunder summoned by its own formation and transformed it into its own ability?
Is there such a monster in the world that can transform other people's thunder magic?

He had never heard of it, nor had he ever seen it.

Su Changqing saw that the dragon snake had completed its molting and was unsure whether it would attack him again, so he prepared to leave first. Otherwise, once the dragon snake recovered its strength, it would be difficult for him to escape.

But the next second, a dragon snake was seen flying towards Su Changqing.

"Again?!"

Su Changqing shouted loudly, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he was ready to control the flying sword to dodge at any time.

However, the dragon snake stopped when it came a few meters in front of Su Changqing. It had no intention of launching an attack. Instead, it stayed not far in front of Su Changqing with a smile on its head.

Of course, this is also what Su Changqing felt and knew, otherwise how could he know how a snake laughs.

"Fizz!"

The dragon snake hissed softly twice at Su Changqing.

Su Changqing frowned. He didn't understand what the dragon snake was saying, but he could feel that it had no ill intentions and seemed to be greeting him. "What are you going to do?"

For some unknown reason, Su Changqing actually asked him back.

"Fizz!"

The dragon snake hissed softly at Su Changqing again.

"You mean you want to thank me?"

This time, Su Changqing didn't know why he could understand what it said even though he clearly heard it was the hissing of a snake.

The huge head of the dragon snake nodded to Su Changqing.

"Why are you thanking me? Didn't I do something to you?"

Su Changqing didn't understand what he meant.

It had just been lurking in the water to ambush me, as if it wanted to swallow me in one gulp. After I fought back, the man and the snake almost destroyed the entire swamp. But now it says it wants to thank me. What’s going on?
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

The dragon snake's face explained to Su Changqing very seriously.

After listening to his explanation, Su Changqing finally understood the reasons and consequences of the dragon snake's sudden attack on him.

It turned out that the monster snake had reached a bottleneck in its practice, and was preparing to shed its skin and break through in this swamp. Just when it had made all the preparations, Su Changqing came to the swamp. The snake was afraid that Su Changqing would disturb it from shedding its skin and breaking through, so it took the initiative to drive Su Changqing away.

"Oh I got it."

Su Changqing suddenly realized that it was he who was wrong.

"Fizz!"

The dragon snake nodded and continued to explain to Su Changqing.

It turned out that this dragon snake was at the same ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm as him. It had just hit a bottleneck and was trying to overcome the tribulation here. It was ready to drive him away, but it never expected to encounter resistance from him. So, the man and the snake started fighting fiercely.

What was even funnier was that Su Changqing used a series of magical powers to attack, which exhausted his own spiritual energy. The dragon snake was also in trouble and almost broke down. But in the end, the Wanwutian Thunder Formation summoned rolling thunder from the sky, allowing the dragon snake to absorb the power of the thunder and directly find the bottleneck to break through.

This is how the scene of shedding skin and breaking through the realm happened.

After hearing this, Su Changqing covered his chin with his hands and couldn't help laughing.

I clearly wanted to drive the dragon snake away, but who knew that it would create an opportunity for it to break through. This is another version of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

"We are acquainted after fighting. Since I have given you a great opportunity, you should thank me. Then I will ask you for something. If you lead me to find it, we will be even."

After sorting out the whole cause and effect, Su Changqing smiled and said to the dragon snake.

Instead of searching for the wild orchid narcissus in this swamp by myself, it is better to let this dragon snake that is familiar with the place lead me there. Maybe the big snake will know where it is.

"Fizz!"

The dragon snake asked curiously what he was looking for.

"Daffodil, a rare white daffodil. Do you know where I can find it?"

Su Changqing said to him.

The dragon snake did not answer, but just moved its body and started to move. It turned its head and looked at Su Changqing, as if asking him to keep up with its pace.
