Chapter 73 The Journey to Wangshan (Part Two)

"Are you sure? Maybe it's a treasure your father left you. Giving it to me so casually is just giving it away to me for free!"

Silver Chain shook his head: "More than treasure, I wish my father could live. I still don't understand why my clan suffered this calamity. Last time, I fled in such a hurry that I didn't have time to ask him about it. This time, I want to find an answer."

He suddenly looked at Su Yixuan and said, "Grandmaster Uncle, help me!"

"Alright, who told me to be your grandmaster uncle!"

Su Yixuan turned her back and sighed softly, "Isn't it better to be a little confused sometimes?"

"Whatever the reason, I'll accept it. I just want to understand why!"

"Alright, hurry up! Hopefully we can get to the Serpent Demon's base before dark, otherwise we'll have to camp out in the mountains. You don't care, you can sleep anywhere, but I haven't had a proper rest for days, and all I want now is a good night's sleep."

"Ah."

Silver Chain went to collect her father's remains, while she sat on the ground carefully dismantling the prayer mat.

As the straw rope was peeled away layer by layer, what was inside was finally revealed—a knife.

The hilt is carved in the shape of a venomous cobra with its head held high and chest puffed out. The blade is reddish-blue in color and of unknown material, and is shaped like a crescent moon with two blades.

Pressing the gem on the cobra's belly caused the scimitar to split in two, shooting out with two silver chains that danced in the air, a truly beautiful sight.

Using spiritual power to control the chain, the blade retracted, and the curved sword went into its sheath with a crisp, melodious sound.

Nice knife!

Just as she was having a great time, Silver Chain walked in.

"Where did this weird thing come from?"

"you know?"

Silver Chain nodded: "There is a book of demon weapon illustrations in the clan's ancient books. I read it and memorized it."

Su Yixuan fiddled with the ruby ​​on the scabbard: "Tell me!"

"One of the weapons is called Venom. The handle is made of icy crystal from a cold pool, and the blade is soaked in 3,600 kinds of highly toxic substances for 81 days. Even a slight scratch can kill instantly."

Su Yixuan drew the blade again, examined it closely, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I knew you were poisonous, but I didn't know you were this poisonous!"

"It's not only poisonous, but also cursed."

"curse?"

"I've heard that everyone who ever obtained this weapon either went mad or died, and some even killed their entire families before committing suicide. So, even though it's a famous weapon in the encyclopedia, it's not very popular in the demon realm."

"That's it!"

Su Yixuan raised her hand and gestured twice, then tapped her eyelids, her spiritual eyes opening.

They searched the place thoroughly, inside and out, but found no trace of a curse.

"There's nothing wrong with this weapon!"

Silver Chain was very surprised: "No problem? How is that possible?"

"I suspect that some of the toxins on the knife can evaporate into the air. If the owner inhales the toxins for a long time, it may cause mental illnesses such as hallucinations, which would lead to such an extreme action."

Silver Chain glanced at the exquisitely crafted Venom with disbelief: "Grandmaster Uncle, you should throw it away! This isn't a weapon at all; it's a slow-acting poison."

"Throw it away? I can't bear to part with such a valuable treasure!"

Su Yixuan wrapped the venom in insulating talisman paper and put it into her Qiankun bag: "This is a life-saving artifact. I'll modify it when I have time."

Silver Chain frowned: "You must be careful!"

"I know, I know, I'm someone who values ​​my life very much!"

After carefully collecting the venom and preparing to discard the prayer mat, he suddenly discovered a small note hidden in the crevice.

He quickly took it out, opened it, and found it to be a short farewell letter.

Chain:

This item is ominous; destroy it by all means, and remember not to let it fall into their hands.

P.S.: Survive!
Silver Chain's fingers tightened around the note, and after a long while, he looked at Su Yixuan and said, "Grandmaster Uncle!"

Su Yixuan made a pause gesture: "Your father said you have to destroy the weapons, do you have a way to do that?"

"Not yet, but!"

"But I have a way!" Su Yixuan patted the silver chain on the shoulder: "I promise, I'll definitely help you fulfill your father's last wish. Also, I'd like to ask who 'them' are you referring to?"

“Naturally, they are my enemies who wiped out my clan! But all I know is that they can command zombies and poisonous creatures, but I don’t know any specific details.”

"Ok!"

Su Yixuan pointed to the last few words on the note: "So I guessed it. Your dad's biggest wish is for you to survive! Otherwise, he wouldn't have written these words so forcefully, in bold and underlined for emphasis."

"..."

Su Yixuan stood up and stretched: "I'm all packed, let's go! Or if you have any souvenirs you want to take with you, I can help you pack them into my Qiankun bag."

Silver Chain shook his head.

As dusk fell, the moon hung high overhead.

Su Yixuan finally saw a group of buildings with rather peculiar construction.

From a distance, they look like rows of graves, with a crooked willow tree planted next to each grave.

"I really can't appreciate your aesthetic sense, especially now, when it's dark, windy, and the willow catkins are flying everywhere."

"Your human houses aren't very nice either; they're hot and prone to collapsing."

"Have you seen any houses collapse?"

"On TV!"

"you win!"

Su Yixuan plopped down on the floor: "Next time I go out, I'm definitely bringing a bed with me!"

Just as Yinlian was about to say something, Su Yixuan suddenly hugged Yinlian and rolled around on the ground.

The small mound that was originally sitting was punched and dented.

A hairy monster roared at the sky.

The voice was hoarse and piercing, but Silver Chain was terrified and quickly pulled Su Yixuan back: "It's a zombie! It's summoning its companions! Let's run!"

Su Yixuan grabbed the silver chain.

“He’s not summoning his companions. Look, there’s something in the groove.”

Still shaken, Silver Chain turned around in surprise and, sure enough, saw a scorpion the size of a shoe sole in the groove.

Even under the silvery moonlight, the dark blue patterns on its body are still clearly visible.

Su Yixuan tried to take a step forward.

The hairy monster remained in the same position, only her long hair concealed her copper bell-sized eyes, which moved with her steps.

Su Yixuan was unsure of the hairy monster's intentions, so she tried to move towards the groove.

She had barely taken half a step when the hairy monster roared at her in a fit of rage, and Su Yixuan quickly pulled her foot back.

"Can you understand me?"

The hairy monster stared silently with its clear black and white eyes.

"Can I go see that scorpion? I've never seen such a big scorpion in my life."

The hairy monster remained silent.

Su Yixuan quietly stretched out her leg, and the hairy monster immediately roared.

Su Yixuan had no choice but to withdraw her foot again, quietly retreating to the side of the silver chain, laughing and saying, "Fine, I won't look. You saved us, so you get to decide!"

He turned to look at the silver chain: "Is this a relative of yours?"

Silver Chain frowned and shook his head: "Never seen it before! Apart from the main family, there are only the dead in the clan. Besides, it looks so special, I would definitely remember it if I had seen it before."

"Oh, that's strange!"

"how?"

Su Yixuan rubbed her fingers together: "Do you remember all those broken bones we saw when we went up the mountain? It wasn't just snake bones!"

　It's getting more and more mysterious.
