Chapter 659: 555 Huan Went Crazy [1 Update]
Just like those martial arts dramas that have been played countless times on TV, her Qinggong was unparalleled, akin to a gust of wind sweeping over the surface of the lake.
This was also a manifestation of Ancient Martial Inner Strength.
Once an ancient martial artist’s cultivation reached over fifty years, they could train in such cultivation techniques.
Using Inner Strength, they could stand and walk on objects that normally couldn’t bear their weight.
Even on a single leaf.
In that moment, the cold mist on the surface of the lake scattered, rendering the giant serpent’s form even clearer.
The Sun in the sky was big, but its rays couldn’t penetrate the thick clouds, and the temperature had already dropped below zero.
Huan had already disappeared from sight.
The venom of the water snake had seeped through his skin and flesh, invading his nerves, affecting not just his eyes, but also causing temporary deafness in his ears.
Especially his right arm, which had been directly corroded by the venom, was in so much pain that he was rolling on the ground non-stop.
The other two students from Norton University saw this but couldn’t move their legs at all, even their brains had ceased to function.
The events that had unfolded today had completely exceeded their capacity to cope.
Above the lake, Ying Zijin turned her head, “Xiao Lan.”
Wen Tinglan understood.
He left his senior to one side, walked over, and with a raise of his hand, he knocked the two people out cold.
The water snake didn’t move either; having lived so long, it had developed a significant level of intelligence.
It could naturally feel the pressure emanating from the girl.
Hissing, it spat out its tongue, still observing.
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” at that moment, a panting voice sounded, “I say, why do I have to push such a cart up the mountain?”
Di Wu Yue almost died on the way.
She was just a Diviner, inherently frail, and this was sheer torment for her.
However, Wen Tinglan understood very well.
He moved both the senior and the two Norton University students onto the cart, then pushed the cart down the mountain.
As for Huan, he didn’t bother with him.
Although he had not encountered many people, he had been cautious from a young age.
Huan had wanted to harm him, and now he was getting his just desserts.
Wen Tinglan wasn’t so kind as to save Huan.
But he wouldn’t take initiative to harm others either.
It was enough just to look away.
Di Wu Yue wiped off some sweat and turned her head leisurely.
When she met the gaze of that massive snake head, she was instantly stunned, “Holy shit!”
This… this snake is way too huge!
That’s like several Bai Suzhens right there.
“Miss, Miss,” Di Wu Yue’s legs went weak, “Do you think I could just watch from the side?”
Ying Zijin held nine Golden Needles in her hand, her eyelashes slightly drooped, “You were originally just a tool person.”
An ancient martial artist with sixty years of cultivation couldn’t gain the upper hand against this water snake.
Her Ancient Martial Cultivation had gradually recovered to seventy-three years and now she could handle it alone.
No, she was just a salted fish.
The water snake, after observing for a long time, finally moved its colossal body.
It let out a bone-chilling hiss, its long tail swinging up, stirring up a wild wave.
Ying Zijin still stood unmoved on the water, and at that moment, the nine Golden Needles in her hand shot out instantaneously.
The immense Inner Strength coursed through them, and the nine Golden Needles were like sharp swords.
They pierced through the water snake’s scales and into its flesh and bones in an instant.
Agonizing pain ensued, and the water snake hissed again.
But under the influence of the Inner Strength, the Golden Needles coursed wildly inside its body, causing it pain that immobilized it.
As the needles corroded completely by the venom, with several “bang bang bang” sounds, bursts of blood erupted from the serpent’s body.
It didn’t even have the chance to spit out its last breath of venom before its massive body fell down, crashing heavily into the water, and quickly sunk.
Di Wu Yue stood dumbfounded: “Is… is it over?”
And the Diviners have to team up to come here?!
“It’s not ‘over’ just like that,” Ying Zijin half-squatted on the ground, wiping away some sweat, her complexion slightly pale, “Can you swim?”
It might seem like she hadn’t had much of a fight, but she had used up four-fifths of her Inner Strength, almost running on empty.
This water snake was indeed ferocious.
And it cost her nine Golden Needles.
A good sum of money down.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Di Wu Yue rolled up her sleeves, “There’s treasure underneath, right? Heh heh heh, I’ll bring them all up.”
Half an hour later, Di Wu Yue emerged from the lake bottom carrying a bag of items.
Inside were several rare medicinal herbs with extreme cold properties along with a few ore stones.
These were genuine treasures of heaven and earth that could not be replicated through artificial cultivation.
“Great stuff, really great stuff,” Di Wu Yue was not only energetic but also excited; suddenly, she touched her head and exclaimed, “Oh my, Miss, you wouldn’t know, but when I dived down just now, I also saw lots of white bones.”
