After dealing with the Metal Spirit Fruit, Ling Xiao felt a kind of satisfaction he had never felt before.
Just now, he had been plucking at the bull's mouth. Just how dangerous was that!
Fortunately, Lu Weng had attracted the attention of the old bull, and he had successfully dealt with the Metal Spirit Fruit and the Metal Spirit Tree.
After resting for a while, Ling Xiao's condition had recovered quite a bit. He looked in the direction he had just left. "That old fellow couldn't have been killed, right? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Just as he was puzzled, a small tree that was half a meter tall was running towards him at an extremely fast speed.
When Ling Xiao saw this, he almost wanted to laugh out loud. This was too comical, too funny!
This was the first time he had seen a tree that could run.
It had to be said that this world was truly full of strange things!
The small tree had taken human form, and its originally very green face became even greener as it grumbled at Ling Xiao, "You brat, you almost made me lose my life here!"
"Haha, Old Lü, you can't say that. I saw that you were running quite fast just now. At your age, you should run more. Otherwise, when your body ages and you can't move anymore, you'll regret it," said Ling Xiao with a smile. "Old Lü, you can't say that.
"This old man owes you. Now quickly accompany me to find the source spirit grass." Lu Weng didn't have the time to argue with Ling Xiao, so he immediately changed the subject.
Ling Xiao stood up and patted his butt as he promised, "Alright, this young master definitely won't shirk his promise."
Ling Xiao and Lu Weng continued to walk deeper into the forest.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Xiao had already been here for eight days.
The deeper Ling Xiao went, the more strange treasures he saw, causing him to be dazzled.
Unfortunately, Lu Weng was no longer helping him draw away those frightening spirit beasts, and he didn't dare to take the risk to snatch them himself. His heart was truly dripping blood!
At this moment, Lu Weng finally found what he was looking for.
It was an unremarkable vine that looked like it had withered. There was nothing special about it.
Who would have thought that such a withered vine was actually a Spirit Grass that was stained with the Origin Source?
Ling Xiao stared at that withered vine very seriously. In the end, he finally distinguished that this was actually a rank seven high rank false withered grass.
The so-called Pseudo Withered Grass was just like its name. It looked like a withered grass, and it didn't emit any spiritual energy fluctuations. Ordinary people would generally treat it as an ordinary withered vine.
In fact, it contained a rich life force and was one of the most valuable spirit herbs of the Wood Attribute.
He didn't expect Lu Weng to be so powerful that he could recognize one of the most difficult spirit herbs in the world.
This type of spiritual herb was usually accompanied by a type of seventh-grade spirit beast known as the False Grass Snake.
"We've finally found something good. Let's split the work like last time. I'll draw away that little snake, and you help me get the False Withered Grass." Lu Weng's eyes flashed with excitement.
"No problem!" Ling Xiao nodded excitedly.
Lu Weng looked at Ling Xiao's excited expression and said, "You won't keep it for yourself after obtaining it, right?"
"Am I as bad as you make me out to be?
Since you don't believe me, then forget about it. "Ling Xiao rolled his eyes.
"Alright, then let's begin." Lu Weng nodded.
Afterwards, it turned into a large tree, and vines began to spread out.
When he saw this, Ling Xiao recalled the situation in the Illusion Valley. At that time, he had almost died.
Under Lu Weng's strange actions, a snake that wasn't very large appeared.
This snake was only two meters long, and its body was only as thick as an arm. Its entire body was green, and only its eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty light.
If it didn't move, then no one would be able to detect its existence. Its color was no different from the weeds.
Lu Weng used a large number of vines to bind the False Grass Snake, and then quickly dragged it in a certain direction.
Since the False Grass Snake was a high rank seventh rank spirit beast, it naturally wouldn't be so easily restrained.
With a hiss, its body suddenly swelled up, and from a small snake that was as thick as an arm, it became so large that two people couldn't even wrap their arms around it. The vines binding it were instantly torn apart.
Not only that, but it actually opened its bloody mouth and bit at Lu Weng's tree branch.
Lu Weng didn't even think about it and quickly fled.
Ling Xiao originally thought that the False Grass Snake would immediately chase after him, but unfortunately, he and Lu Weng were wrong. The False Grass Snake didn't fall for their trap, and instead looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was originally hiding under a large tree, and he thought that he was absolutely safe.
Unfortunately, when he felt the False Grass Snake's cold gaze, he felt a chill run through his body.
"Damn, it can't have discovered me, right?" Ling Xiao said while patting his chest.
At this moment, he wanted to immediately flee!
That's right, the False Grass Snake had indeed discovered Ling Xiao's existence.
Spirit snakes were different from other spirit beasts in distinguishing things. They didn't rely on auras to detect the existence of living beings, but rather on the auras emitted by their bodies.
Even though Ling Xiao had restrained his aura, his body had long since been covered in the smell of sweat from the continuous days of fleeing.
The False Grass Snake had sensed him the moment he arrived in its territory.
It just didn't pay attention to him.
Many high rank spirit snakes were very arrogant, and in its eyes, Ling Xiao's strength was very weak. He was like an ant that wasn't worthy of its attention.
Of course, if a living being wanted its spirit herbs, then it wouldn't let it go.
"Damned human, come out, or I'll eat you!" the False Grass Snake said.
When Ling Xiao heard this voice, his legs went soft, and he anxiously thought, "Oh no, I've really been discovered. What should I do?"
Ling Xiao knew that it was impossible to escape now, so he could only brace himself and walk out from behind the tree with a smile on his face. He then cupped his hands towards the False Grass Snake and said, "Ah haha, hello, Brother Snake!"
If one didn't know the situation, they would think that Ling Xiao and the False Grass Snake were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
The False Grass Snake shrunk its body and stared at Ling Xiao as it asked, "Human, you aren't afraid of me?"
"Why would I be afraid of you? Humans and animals … and spirit beasts are friends. It's fate that we met," Ling Xiao said with a smile.
He looked calm on the surface, but if one paid a little attention, they would notice that his legs were constantly trembling.
The False Grass Snake sneered, "Haha, humans and spirit beasts are natural enemies, but you actually say that they are friends? Do you think this Snake Monarch is easy to deceive?"
"Haha, Brother Snake is really smart. It seems that I can't deceive Brother Snake anymore. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now. I've disturbed Brother Snake, please forgive me!" Ling Xiao laughed a few times and retreated step by step.
"Hiss!" Just as Ling Xiao was about to escape, a long tongue spat towards him.
Ling Xiao was so scared that he jumped to the side and shouted, "Brother Snake, if you have something to say, say it slowly. Don't be rough, it will affect Brother Snake's handsome image!"
The False Grass Snake coldly snorted, "Hmph, you can stay here and be my human pet. For thousands of years, no human has dared to step into my territory. You are the first, so I won't eat you."
"Brother Snake, that won't do. Your Qilin Prince and I are friends, good brothers. I've come to find him, so if he finds out that you've captured me to be your human pet, you'll be in trouble." Ling Xiao repeatedly waved his hand.
In his heart, he shouted, "Damned Lu Weng, hurry up and save me!"
"Haha, how could my prince know a lowly human like you? If you dare lie to me again, I'll immediately eat you." The False Grass Snake disdainfully laughed.
The Beast Race valued bloodlines, so how could their prince, who had a noble status, know such a lowly human?
Therefore, it simply didn't believe Ling Xiao's words.
At this time, Lu Weng's rescue came.
The green vines transformed into spiritual snakes and wrapped around the Fake Grass Snake.
"Damned stinky tree, you're courting death. I'll definitely eat your essence!" The False Grass Snake was enraged and its body grew larger once more.
Its body flipped a few times and immediately broke the green vines. It then spat out a thick green liquid from its mouth towards Lu Weng.
This time, Lu Weng didn't retreat. It instantly formed countless leaves to block the green liquid.
Sizzle!
The green liquid actually had a strong corrosive nature, and it directly pierced through the leaves.
Lu Weng let out a strange cry and hastily retreated once more.
Ling Xiao had long since fled when Lu Weng attacked the False Grass Snake.
Unfortunately, the False Grass Snake seemed determined to capture Ling Xiao and bring him back to be its human pet.
It gave up on chasing Lu Weng and arrived in front of Ling Xiao in a few leaps. Its tail lightly whipped.
Bang!
Ling Xiao's body flew far away like a kite with a broken string. Blood sprayed all over the ground.
"Let's see how you escape now!" The False Grass Snake arrived in front of Ling Xiao and used its body to tie him up.
Ling Xiao's entire body was in excruciating pain. His waist had been broken and he was now being strangled by the False Grass Snake. He was already exhaling more than he was inhaling.
Seeing that he was about to be stuffed into the snake's stomach, Ling Xiao fought back with all his might.
Blue demon flames instantly ignited on his body.
Sizzle!
Hiss!
The heavenly flames burned the snake's body, causing it to feel pain. It had no choice but to let go of Ling Xiao.
The False Grass Snake didn't expect that this lowly human would be able to fight back even though he was about to die.
It continuously rolled its body in an attempt to extinguish the heavenly flames on its body.
Unfortunately, once it came into contact with heavenly flames, it wouldn't be so easy to extinguish them.
However, the False Grass Snake was also quite amazing. In order to save its life, it instantly shed its snakeskin.
After shedding a layer of its skin, the False Grass Snake's vitality was greatly damaged. It was also extremely angry. "Damned human, I'm going to eat you!"
Just as it was about to bite the dying Ling Xiao, a figure descended from the sky.
That person arrived behind the snake's body, grabbed its tail, and lightly swung it.
The False Grass Snake was unexpectedly flung far away uncontrollably.
"Dammit, who dares to ruin my, the Snake Sovereign's, business!" The False Grass Snake stopped moving and loudly cursed.
However, when it returned to its original position and saw that person clearly, its eyes revealed a deep fear.
Then, it crawled on the ground and respectfully said to that person, "Greetings, Lord Flaming Tiger!"
