Catching Monsters

Chapter 645 The Serpent Saint Appears
"Keep searching! Dig three feet into the ground, find the place where the Demon Saint sleeps!" Hu Xinglan shouted.

Behind him and Yan Jiu stood more than thirty experts from the fox clan. Upon hearing this, these experts took to the air and flew towards the various sand dunes, using their magic to probe each dune.

Or you could simply unleash your magic to blast it away.

In an instant, dust rose up, as if a sandstorm had broken out.

More than thirty demons were busy searching for the place where the Demon Saint was sleeping.

Hu Yi waved his hand, watching as the many experts of the Fox Clan were busy searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Saint.

He secretly went to sit down next to an inconspicuous sand dune, waved his hand to disperse the sand and dust that filled the air: "This Kuta Desert is so big, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"We've been searching in this godforsaken place for almost a month, relying on that kid Yan Jiu's dream."

Hu Yi muttered curses under his breath as he leaned against the sand dune, ready to take a good rest and relax. But to his surprise, the sand dune behind him felt incredibly soft, and he instantly fell into it.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Hu Yi swallowed a mouthful of sand and quickly climbed out, cursing, "Damn it, how come there's a secret passage in this godforsaken place? This is a trap..."

At this point, Hu Yi froze, then crawled back into the soft sand.

The soft sand seemed to be maintained by magic. After drilling about a meter in, there was a pitch-black passage where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

We found it.

Hu Yi crawled out using both hands and feet, shouting loudly, "Chieftain! Chieftain! I've found him!"

Soon, Hu Xinglan, along with Yan Jiu and many fox clan experts, arrived at the scene and saw Hu Yi covered in yellow sand.

"Chieftain, I went to great lengths to find this place, burrowing through this yellow sand," Hu Yi said, pointing to the yellow sand where the passage was located.

Hu Xinglan gave Hu Yi an approving look: "Well done!"

Without hesitation, Hu Xinglan plunged into the yellow sand, and the other fox clan experts followed suit one after another.

Perhaps because of the strange location of the passage, the entire passage felt unusually stuffy.

Hu Xinglan turned to look at Yan Jiu beside her: "Has this scene also appeared in your dream?"

Yan Jiu shook his head, looked at the scene before him, and said in a deep voice, "No, I only saw a rough outline in my dream."

"But the place I dreamed of is in this area, and this passage is probably the one that leads to the place where the Demon Saint sleeps."

Hu Xinglan took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go."

Leading a group of fox clan experts, Hu Xinglan continued deeper into the passage. Along the way, his heart was pounding, and he could hardly contain his excitement.

The resurrection of the fox clan's ancestor is a dream shared by generations of fox demons.

Now we can finally realize it in our own hands.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group of fox demons also arrived deep underground.

It is the same as the snow mountain passage where Tiger Saint slept.

There was also a transparent barrier inside.

"Get ready, we're going to force our way through this barrier," Hu Xinglan instructed.

It's impossible to travel all the way to the capital of Zhou and summon Jiang Yun again, especially since this barrier has existed for a thousand years.

Numerous monsters bombarded the barrier day and night, constantly weakening its power.

It took three whole days before the barrier finally made a loud bang and then vanished without a trace.

After the barrier was shattered, Hu Xinglan said in a deep voice, "Let's go! Welcome the Ancestor."

Further down lies the depths of the desert, an underground space supported by magic, where yellow sand flows in all directions.

Similar to the place where the Tiger Saint was sealed, there are also many chains here.

The chains form a circle.

In the center of the circle is quicksand, constantly flowing, with iron chains extending deep into it, as if they are binding something and moving deep within the quicksand.

Strange talismans were pasted on each of the iron chains.

The characters on these talismans are somewhat illegible, as if they have been severely weathered.

Hu Xinglan quickly walked to the iron chain and reached out to remove the talisman from it.

Unexpectedly, the moment his hand touched the talisman, it was as if he had touched something extremely yang. Instantly, white smoke rose from his hand that touched the talisman.

"hiss."

Hu Xinglan quickly released his grip, took a step back, and stared at the tattered talisman in astonishment.

Then, he took a deep breath, gathered his demonic energy and poured it into his palm, and reached out again.

Although his palm still burned with intense pain when he touched the talisman, he endured the pain and tore the talisman off.

Then came the second and the third.

During this process, other demon experts also wanted to help, but they were too weak to touch the talismans.

Even after thousands of years, such a broken talisman still possesses such power. One can only imagine how terrifying the strength of the person who set up this seal must have been.

Finally, only one talisman remained.

Hu Xinglan also took a deep breath and looked at the many experts of the fox clan: "You should leave this place first. Once the seal here is broken, this entire space will collapse."

"Then let's go outside and wait for the clan chief's good news."

The many fox clan experts present nodded and quickly left with Yan Jiu. Hu Xinglan, on the other hand, sat down beside the quicksand, watching the constantly shifting sands with a complex expression. The probability of reviving his own demon saint was one in two.

He took a deep breath and waited for a while, estimating the time in his mind, until it was almost time.

He raised his hand, placed it on the last talisman, and forcefully tore it off.

After tearing off the last talisman, sure enough, the entire underground space trembled violently, as if the place was about to collapse at any moment.

Hu Xinglan stared intently at the quicksand, then turned and fled outside.

Hu Xinglan used his magic to speed along, causing the entire underground passage to continuously collapse.

Finally, before the entire underground space completely collapsed, Hu Xinglan rushed out.

Many fox clan experts were waiting outside.

"Chieftain, are you alright?"

A group of fox clan experts quickly surrounded him and asked questions.

"I'm fine." Hu Xinglan took a deep breath, and the ground began to tremble.

Hu Xinglan quickly grabbed Yan Jiu, who was not far away, and instantly flew up.

The other fox clan experts also sensed something was wrong and took to the air, all of them soaring into the sky.

Look down again.

The sand dunes and sandy land within a radius of several miles had now turned into quicksand, constantly churning, and a suffocating sense of oppression also came from underground.

Then the sand dunes slowly rose up from below, and the yellow sand fell back down.

They then saw colorful snake scales, and a giant snake was constantly moving in the sand.

"Yes, it is the Serpent Saint."

Hu Xinglan's pupils contracted slightly, and for a moment, disappointment appeared on the faces of many fox clan experts present.

Damn it.

After all that effort, they still couldn't find the Fox Saint, but instead awakened the Snake Saint.

If they keep doing this, their fox clan will become the epitome of good deeds and good people in the demon kingdom.

All that hard work and toil only awakens the ancestors of other families.

Hu Xinglan felt a tightness in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

It wasn't because the Serpent Saint was awakened.

Instead, their order of seeking to awaken their ancestors is based on the difficulty of the task.

First came the easily found snow-capped mountains, then the desert.

Although it was hard work, at least there were traces to follow, whether it was a snow-capped mountain or a sand dune.

According to Yan Jiu's dream, besides the snow-capped mountains and sand dunes...

In the end, all that remained was the vast, boundless sea.

In other words, their fox clan's ancestor was sealed in the sea.

Now, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

boom……

A giant snake head slowly emerged from the sand below, its scales multicolored and shimmering.

Soon, an aged voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Did you wake me up?"

The snake's eyes flashed with a cold light as it looked at the crowd.

"Snake Saint, I, Hu Xinglan, the patriarch of the Fox Clan, have come here specifically to awaken you," Hu Xinglan said respectfully.

There's nothing we can do now that we've already woken him up.

"Fox Clan".

Upon hearing these two words, the Serpent Saint coldly replied, "Why haven't any of my Serpent Clan members come?"

“This…” Hu Xinglan lowered her head slightly.

The Serpent Saint slowly rose up and soared into the air; its true form was a full thirty feet long.

It had two wings on its back, and with a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, no longer wanting to pay attention to the fox clan members in front of it, and headed towards the direction of the demon kingdom at an extremely fast speed.

"Yan Jiu, can you find the place in your last dream?" Hu Xinglan looked at Yan Jiu anxiously.

Yan Jiu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Clan Chief Hu, I... I'll give it a try."

Hu Yi, standing to the side, said with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes, "My goodness, a Demon Saint is indeed a Demon Saint, the pressure is immense..."

"It happened!"

Hu Yi was stunned at this moment, and slapped his forehead: "If the Serpent Saint goes back, he will probably know that the Serpent Clan suffered a great loss at the hands of Jiang Yun. Wouldn't Jiang Yun be in trouble?"

"I need to go to the capital of Zhou to inform Brother Jiang."
