Qin Shi had seen the abilities of this little snake before, so when he saw the disciples of the Yunding Sect looking down on this insignificant little thing, he laughed in his heart. "How dare they look down on this little guy? These brats are going to suffer."
Sure enough, just as the Cloud Cauldron Sect disciples charged into the cave, a disciple who was only at the early stage of the Spirit Sealing Realm was bitten by the seven-colored snake. The snake's bite force was different from a normal snake's, and it crushed the disciple's ankle.
"Ahhh!"
A painful howl sounded, and the disciples became anxious. They raised the weapons in their hands and slashed at the little snake.
However, most of these people only had Mortal Grade weapons in their hands. Only a few of them had Spiritual Grade weapons, and they were only Lower Grade. How could they injure the little seven-colored snake?
Bang!
The mortal weapons were broken by the seven-colored snake.
"Hiss, there's something strange about this little guy."
"Damn, we underestimated this little guy. How is it so powerful?"
The disciples had invaded the little snake's territory, and it was as if it had been injected with chicken blood. It attacked randomly, and whenever it saw someone, it would open its mouth and bite them.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight disciples were injured, but the little snake wasn't injured at all.
"Big, big brother, what do we do?" The disciples were panicking and anxiously asked the leader.
The leader of the disciples was also stunned. He clenched his teeth and said, "What do we do?
What can we do?
Run! "
"Run! Big brother said run! This beast is too powerful, and we are not its match. Quickly go back and call the other brothers."
Hearing the word "run," the disciples didn't dare to hesitate anymore. They couldn't care less about the treasures in the cave, and they turned around and ran for their lives.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
However, would the little snake let them run so easily?
Obviously not. The little snake drew an "S" on the ground and quickly moved through the forest with its flexible abdomen. In the blink of an eye, it had pounced on the disciples.
Qin Shi stood at the side and was overjoyed. Looking at the few Cloud Cauldron Sect disciples being utterly defeated, he happily raised the corner of his mouth and muttered, "Hehe, these unlucky fellows. Do you understand what it means to not judge a snake by its appearance?"
However, just as Qin Shi was getting excited, he saw a sharp-mouthed disciple of the Cloud Cauldron Sect climbing up from the back of the mountain. Taking advantage of the chaos, he fumbled his way into the cave.
"This kid is smart."
Qin Shi's mind spun as he stared at this disciple with a protruding mouth and ape-like chin.
He felt his way into the cave, his eyes flashing with light. In the end, his gaze fell on the skeleton of the Rainbow Magic Cloud Snake. He ruthlessly kicked the skeleton a few times, separating the skull from the torso. After holding it up, his eyes were filled with excitement.
Then, he ignored the screams of the disciples outside and ran down the mountain while the little snake was unaware.
"You want to run?"
Qin Shi's eyes hardened when he saw this scene. He let out a snort of disdain. Immediately, his body flashed and he charged in front of the monkey-like disciple. He drew the Bloodthirsty Sword and coldly laughed, "Hee hee, I say, this brother, isn't this decisive act of betraying your teammate a little too unrighteous?"
The disciple was shocked when he was stopped by Qin Shi. "Who, who are you?"
"Who am I?
People who are about to die don't need to know.
You didn't even let go of the corpse. You're worse than an animal. Tell me, how do you want to die? "
Qin Shi looked up and down. This person was only at the mid stage of the Spirit Sealing Realm. He couldn't enter Qin Shi's eyes at all, so he raised the Bloodthirsty Sword in disdain.
After seeing Qin Shi, the disciple bared his teeth and pulled out a sharp sword. "Hmph, a disciple of the Lihuo Sect at the mid stage of the Spirit Sealing Realm. You want to kill me?
I think you're the one who's going to die. "
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. This young master is so cool, and all the beauties in the world won't want me to die!" Qin Shi smiled and shook his head. Then, his eyes narrowed. "The one who's going to die is you, scary guy."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand. Just as the blade collided with the red sun, nine rays of sword light filled the sky and took away the disciple's life at lightning speed.
After killing this person, Qin Shi picked up the skull.
At this time, the little snake had already bitten the other disciples to death. Only then did it notice the situation on Qin Shi's side. It was instantly enraged and rushed over without thinking.
"Here, this is for you."
When the little snake rushed over, Qin Shi smiled warmly and handed over the skull.
Seeing the skull, the little snake was grateful. It stuck out its tongue and let out a hoarse hissing sound.
"Alright, don't be unreasonable with this young master. As long as you don't chase after me, it's fine."
Feeling the seven-colored snake's gratitude, Qin Shi tentatively raised his hand and touched the little snake's head. Then, his gaze stopped at the cave.
There must be treasures in this cave.
However, Qin Shi didn't want to take advantage of others, so he helplessly shook his head and sighed. "Sigh, it's not my fortune."
Thinking of this, Qin Shi turned around and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, the seven-colored snake suddenly rushed forward and bit the leg of Qin Shi's pants.
With his pants bitten, Qin Shi frowned and asked in confusion, "Little guy, you're not going to bite the hand that feeds you, are you?"
"Hiss hiss hiss!" The seven-colored snake bit Qin Shi's trousers and shook its head as it hissed.
"Shi Tou, it wants you to help it bury its mother's remains."
Jade In The Book floated out. As a girl, she had tears in her eyes and said in a sweet voice, "It, it said that it's too small. Its mother passed away many years ago, and now only white bones are left. Yet, it can't help bury its mother."
"It said, it said that you're a good person. As long as you can help it and bury its mother, it's willing to take its life."
Jade In The Book's words rang in Qin Shi's ears like the morning bell of an ancient tomb. Qin Shi only felt a buzzing sound in his head and some pain.
If beasts were like this, then what about humans?
How many people would disregard family for the sake of power?
"Shi Tou, can we help it? This little guy is so pitiful," Jade In The Book begged.
Frowning, Qin Shi didn't answer. He just picked up the skull on the ground and walked step by step to the entrance of the cave.
When he arrived, he pulled out the Jade Snow Sword and the Bloodthirsty Sword at the same time. The two swords fell on the ground like a rainstorm.
All the turbulent emotions were vented on the ground.
Just like that, after countless attacks, a three-meter square pit suddenly appeared.
Then, Qin Shi quietly walked into the cave and put the dead seven-colored snake's remains into the pit one by one. Then, he used his spiritual energy to bury the mountain of yellow soil.
As he did this, the seven-colored snake watched from the side. It didn't make a sound or cry, but its eyes were filled with indescribable sorrow.
After filling the pit, Qin Shi waved his sword. With a swish, a sword light suddenly appeared, and the old tree next to him was cut in half.
After it was cut, Qin Shi chopped the old tree into a tombstone and carved a few words on it: Grave of the seven-colored snake. Then, he stood in front of the pit and bowed deeply.
"Rest in peace!"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi said.
After carving the tombstone, the seven-colored snake wriggled in front of it and plunged its head into the soil.
An imperceptible tear slowly flowed down from its eye and into the soil.
"Ah, parting in life and death is fate. I hope this little guy knows how to restrain his grief and accept the changes."
Looking at the snake's inconsolable expression, Qin Shi clenched his fists with a heavy heart. His not-so-sharp nails dug into his palm, causing him to feel a wave of pain.
As a girl, Jade In The Book was already crying like a pear blossom.
"Let's go." Not wanting to stay here any longer, Qin Shi turned around.
But at that moment, the seven-colored snake suddenly darted forward and bit the leg of Qin Shi's pants. It let out a weak, hoarse sound, as if it was begging for something.
"Stone, it says it wants to follow you."
After pausing for a moment, Jade in the Book translated. Soon after, with a sobbing tone, it said, "Why don't, why don't we bring it along? Look at how lonely it is in this Secret Territory. It's so pitiful."
Qin Shi was stunned.
"This is something new. Taking an Earth-ranked Dire Beast as a pet is not a bad choice. It's so cool."
After making a joke to amuse himself, Qin Shi rolled his eyes and nodded. He said, "Alright, little fellow. On account of your pitiful appearance, elder brother will take you in."
Seeing that Qin Shi had agreed, the seven-colored snake wriggled its body a few times and agilely climbed along Qin Shi's calf to Qin Shi's waist. Then, it burrowed into Qin Shi's clothes and found a comfortable position to lie down.
"Hehe, this little guy really knows how to choose a place."
Qin Shi looked into his bosom and couldn't help but laugh involuntarily. He saw the little seven-colored snake lying on his chest, making him think to himself, "Looks like this is a female snake, and it's even a small lecherous snake."
"Stone, you're so wicked."
Hearing Qin Shi's words, Jade In The Book cursed in disgust, "I thought you only ate both men and women. I didn't expect you to eat both men and beasts!"
"That's …"
Qin Shi arrogantly raised his head and immediately blinked his eyes. "Nonsense. When did this young master eat both men and women?"
"Hehe, who knows?" Jade In The Book laughed happily.
After fooling around for a while, Qin Shi couldn't be bothered with the Jade in the Book anymore. He stroked the seven-colored little snake in his arms and said, "Little fellow, seeing that you are covered in seven-colored scales, I will call you Little Mi Cai in the future?
How about this name?
Is it western enough? "
"Hiss hiss hiss!" Little Mi Cai nodded. She liked this name very much.
"Alright, Little Mi Cai, let's go." Qin Shi smiled and prepared to leave.
But at this time, Little Mi Cai's body shrunk and tightened around Qin Shi's waist. "Hiss hiss hiss!"
"Stone, Little Mi Cai wants you to go into the cave and take a look." Jade In The Book explained.
"Cave?
I forgot about it. "
Qin Shi patted his head and recalled. He couldn't help but become excited. He strode into the cave and touched Little Mi Cai in his arms. He praised, "Little Mi Cai is not bad. You know how to be filial to your master, unlike someone who only knows how to go against me."
Little Mi Cai shook her head.
But Jade In The Book gritted her teeth and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about whoever goes against me."
Qin Shi replied teasingly and shrugged. He didn't want to talk nonsense with Jade In The Book and stepped into the cave.
The cave was very dark. Qin Shi couldn't even see his fingers in front of him. The chilly wind blew past and the whistling sound was like a demon with five claws and fangs. It exploded in Qin Shi's ears continuously. It was as if his soul would go crazy because of this.
"So gloomy."
When Qin Shi entered the cave, he felt his blood run cold. But for the sake of the treasures in the cave, he could only brace himself and move forward.
He moved forward, but he didn't expect that the cave was very wide. He didn't see the end even after a few turns.
