My game announcement panel is Tiandao?

"Is it miasma?"

Under the sunlight, the wind seemed to turn into a kaleidoscope of colors.

The appearance of miasma was something Cheng had anticipated.

Huazhou, where Nanming Prefecture is located, is just south of Datang.

This place is humid and hot, and miasma is more likely to form in the mountains and forests.

However, Cheng was no ordinary martial arts practitioner; he was an alchemist who had passed the "Three Trials of Alchemy".

He stretched out his finger and lightly touched the miasma.

After a moment of dampness, there was first a tingling sensation, followed by a burning sensation.

"Inside here."

"It contains a mixture of various snake venoms."

"Ordinary antidotes may not be effective."

Cheng Ye frowned immediately.

but.

Before returning to Changning County, Zhou Yu gave him some medicinal pills that he could use while traveling the martial arts world.

When going out, Cheng also carried some of each kind with him.

Among them were specially made antidotes.

For those who frequently travel, these are "essential items for home use".

"It seems unlikely that we can get those martial arts figures to help us get rid of that den of snake demons."

"If they were smart enough, they should have realized that this miasma was unusual."

"If we go any deeper, we'll lose our lives here."

Cheng also took the antidote.

The burning sensation on my fingertips slowly dissipated.

"That will save us the trouble of searching for that nest of snake demons."

"Following the direction where the poisonous miasma is most concentrated is definitely the right way."

This discovery made Cheng realize that he could only rely on himself to slay the snake demon.

He stopped walking slowly and quickened his pace.

On the road ahead.

Cheng also saw some traces of their previous encounter.

"Were they martial artists who barged in earlier?"

"Judging from this situation, it looks like things are likely to turn bad."

Cheng Ye frowned slightly, smelling a strong stench of blood in the sweet, cloying air.

"We must eliminate this den of snake demons."

Even if it has nothing to do with the upcoming Ancestral Dragon Festival.

In this world.

There are all sorts of struggles, hatred, and killings between humans, between humans and demons, and between demons.

The imperial court cannot manage all matters concerning the martial arts world.

Feuds among martial arts practitioners should be settled privately.

but.

If it affects others, the Six Doors' blade can be quite sharp.

There is another bottom line.

Those who have tasted human blood are killed without mercy, without exception.

Even the Dragon King, once he has tasted human blood and flesh, will have to go to the Dragon-Slaying Platform.

The imperial court can tolerate the fighting between demons and humans caused by grudges and feuds in the martial arts world.

But it is absolutely unacceptable for any alien race to devour humans.

You can kill it, but you can't eat it.

Within the territory of Changning County, this den of snake demons can be described as insane.

If they are allowed to continue their rampage, Chen Hai, as the head constable of the Six Doors in Changning County, will certainly have to bear the responsibility.

"Perhaps Chen Tou'er also had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers in Changning County."

"That's why we planned to have the government send three constables to oversee the operation."

Cheng lightly touched a tree branch and his figure darted forward.

He casually picked a Ganoderma lucidum from his hand.

[A mutated, century-old Ganoderma lucidum containing potent toxins, but capable of treating various poisons.]

[Obtained the recipe: Poison-Repelling Pill.]

call!

suddenly.

As Cheng crossed a boundary, the miasma ahead grew increasingly dense, as if it could drip water.

Clang!

The long sword at his waist was suddenly drawn.

A tree branch at Cheng Ye's feet suddenly broke in two.

Foul-smelling blood splattered, and the two snake bodies writhed wildly.

What kind of tree branch is this?

In the distance.

Cheng also felt like he was being watched by many eyes.

"Have we been discovered?"

This is also impossible.

"Next."

"We have no choice but to fight our way in."

……

Deep within Xiaofeng Mountain lies an unnamed snake den.

At first glance, countless slippery snake bodies are intertwined and writhing, making one's scalp tingle just looking at them.

Inside the cave.

There are several roughly made stone chairs.

A snake demon sits cross-legged on a chair; its upper body is human, its lower body is snake, and its head is also a snake's head.

A hissing sound, chilling to the bone, echoed from the hollow space.

"Another human warrior has broken in."

"Pshaw! These idiots."

"If we eat some more martial artists' flesh and blood, we will be able to break through."

"Great! Give us more!"

A snake demon put down the hollow head that had been licked until it gleamed, its vertical pupils filled with greed.

Around the stone chair, piles of bones filled small pits.

"Eating is one thing, but the heart's blood remains."

At this time.

A loud voice came from deep within the cave.

Followed by.

It was a snake's head the size of a house that emerged, its body exuding a terrifying aura.

"That tree will soon bear fruit."

Sitting on the stone chairs, the once arrogant and smug snake demons all nodded obediently in agreement.

"Ancestor."

"Once that fruit tree bears fruit, perhaps we can also develop a trace of dragon bloodline?"

Suddenly.

A snake demon raised its head, its snake eyes filled with anticipation.

Even the other snake demons looked the same.

"Um."

"wait until……"

Before the giant snake could finish speaking, a sudden roar erupted.

"Um?"

"Who is it?"

The snake demons were immediately enraged.

They didn't expect that someone would come to the cave so quickly.

Clang!

A cold light suddenly illuminated the dark cave.

"We've found you."

As the boy strode forward, all the snakes that blocked his path turned to dust.

"what?"

"How could it be so fast?"

The snake demons were all astonished.

They were naturally aware that human warriors would be breaking in one after another during this period.

All for the sake of that immortal fruit that could transform them into dragon blood.

only.

These greedy martial artists have low levels of martial arts skill.

They are no match for them at all.

The Six Doors of the Tang Dynasty, which they fear most, have yet to make their appearance.

With just those martial artists?

Is it here to provide the flesh and blood of martial artists so that they can break through?

although.

They were well aware that if things got out of hand here, the Six Doors would take it seriously and send experts to exorcise the demon.

But by then, they had already successfully transformed, like dragons entering the sea, living freely and unrestrained!

Moreover.

Not long after, it will be the Ancestral Dragon Grand Ceremony again.

When that time comes...

call out!

The sound of something cutting through the air shattered the snake demons' reverie.

"superior!"

"Eat him!"

"Gather more of your heart's blood to nourish the immortal tree!"

Seeing that Cheng also made a move, the snake demons on the stone chair suddenly attacked!

They look large, but their speed is terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Cheng Ye.

and.

These snake demons were also quite skilled in martial arts, all possessing cultivation levels of the sixth or seventh rank.

Just as they were feeling smug, thinking they could easily devour the boy who had intruded here!

A flash of sword light, piercing straight to the soul, illuminated the dimly lit cave in an instant.

It was like a section of the Milky Way falling, sweeping across the entire snake pit.

boom!

The attacking snake demons were all repelled with a single strike, their bodies bearing deep, bone-revealing wounds.

"hiss!"

The giant snake, which had originally intended to retreat, narrowed its eyes upon seeing this!

"Sixth rank?"

Such a young sixth-rank human martial artist?

"Who are you?"

The giant serpent was somewhat shocked, and at the same time, the killing intent deep in its eyes solidified into a tangible form!

"Could it be one of the three constables from the Six Doors?"

Cheng also stepped forward, his voice calm:

"You're half right."

"But there was no reward."
