Chapter 15: The Eggs of the King Cobra

The angry snake twisted its huge body and launched a series of fierce bites at Nangong Chongshan. Wherever it passed, the soil and rocks collapsed and the trees broke.

After performing the Barbarian Ghost Transformation, Nangong Chongshan moved at an amazing speed, fighting and retreating, gradually leading the snake away from the cave entrance.

"Liu Yuan, you go into the cave first to retrieve the snake eggs. I'll go to help Brother Nangong." Xu Yang saw that Nangong Chongshan was in a tight situation and said anxiously.

"You have to be careful, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Liu Yuan flashed with yellow light and used the earth escape technique to disappear outside the cave entrance.

Xu Yang jumped out and shot out three fire cones at the same time. The snake just blocked it with its tail, and with a few clangs, sparks flew everywhere, and the fire cones bounced back. The huge snake tail then swept towards Xu Yang.

The figure flashed, and Nangong Chongshan's tall figure had blocked in front of Xu Yang, holding a stick in both hands and stretched it in front of him.

The huge snake's tail swept the iron rod, and with a "bang", Nangong Chongshan was shocked back a step, and a deep mark was trampled on the ground under his feet.

"This beast is too strong, just feint!" Nangong Chongshan said.

After a few rounds, Nangong Chongshan was not careful and was swept by the snake's tail. With a bang, the whole person was thrown out like a sandbag, and fell heavily to the ground, raising a large piece of soil where he landed.

Nangong Chongshan only felt a dull pain in his chest, and the mana in his body was rolling, and the whole person's breath was a little disordered.

"Be careful!" Xu Yang threw a few detonating talismans and shouted.

"Don't worry, I'm not in the way. I'm sure I can hold this snake for a while." After saying that, Nangong Chongshan silently recited the magic formula, and the spiritual pressure around him increased again. Then he jumped up, swung the iron rod and hit the snake's head with all his strength, and his speed and strength were much greater than before.

The snake's eyes flashed with purple light, and circles of purple spiritual patterns quickly condensed into a purple light shield. The next moment, the iron rod smashed the purple light shield.

With a "bang", the purple light shield shattered this time, and the iron rod hit the snake's skull. Nangong Chongshan spun his body in the air, and swung out another stick, and the huge snake's head was smashed out like a swing. Blood flowed from the wound on the snake's head. The snake seemed to be a little dizzy, with its head drooping slightly, and its eyes were a little scattered, and its spiritual pressure was also weakened a lot.

At this moment, the "Peach" hiding aside had golden hair all over his body standing upright, and bluish-white arcs exploded all over his body, "crackling" non-stop. After a strange squeak, the whole body turned into a bluish-white lightning and passed through the air. Taking advantage of the moment when the snake's spiritual pressure was reduced, he instantly appeared above the snake's head.

"Peach" opened its mouth, showing its sharp teeth and bit down fiercely at the left eye of the big snake.

"Puff!"

A ball of purple mist burst out from the left eye of the big snake, and blood rushed out of its eye socket. The pain made the snake tremble all over, and it instantly burst out with tremendous pressure.

"Peach"'s tiny body was thrown into the air like a leaf by a huge air wave.

The strange thing was that the big snake did not fight back in anger. On the contrary, an unknown fear occupied the body and mind of the snake. Perhaps the weasel has always been the natural enemy of the snake.

The big snake lowered its head, and a large amount of black mist continued to spray out of its nostrils. I don't know what escape method it used, and its huge body disappeared out of thin air in the black mist. The next moment, it appeared three feet away from here. After a few flashes, it fled.

At this time, the small body of Peach fell rapidly from the air. Xu Yang took a step into the air and held the "Peach" in the air with both hands. Peach had been exhausted and was shaking like a drunk.

"Brother Xu, your little weasel is a real surprise!" Nangong Chongshan praised.

"It's just a little beast, it's just a trick!" Xu Yang said modestly.

After a while, Liu Yuan hurried out of the cave.

Only Nangong Chongshan and Xu Yang were seen, but there was no sign of the big snake. Liu Yuan said: "The snake eggs are already in hand, where is the big snake?"

"Let's retreat to a safe place quickly, and we'll talk about the details on the way." Nangong Chongshan said.

The three quickly returned along the original route.

Along the way, Liu Yuan described how he entered the snake cave alone to get the snake eggs. The black fog in the cave can block the spiritual consciousness, and the place where the snake eggs are hidden has a dense purple fog, which makes people hallucinate after inhaling. This delayed Liu Yuan for a long time, but he finally got a full seven snake eggs.

Nangong Chongshan also briefly described how he and Xu Yang dealt with the big snake, and Liu Yuan was amazed after hearing it.

"It all depends on Brother Nangong's bravery." Xu Yang said.

"I'm ashamed to say that my Barbarian Ghost Transformation can only be activated temporarily by relying on the Barbarian Ghost Talisman. Barbarian Ghost Transformation is a secret technique unique to the Barbarian Ghost Hall. It can only be learned after a special ceremony and a ghost contract signed with a certain kind of Barbarian Ghost in the Netherworld. I was able to barely pass the ghost contract test thanks to the outstanding physique of the Nangong clan." Nangong Chongshan said.

"Nangong is not simple. It is very rare among the disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Hall to pass the ghost contract test with the cultivation level of entering the spiritual realm. Under normal circumstances, if Barbarian Ghost Transformation is to be activated without the help of the Barbarian Ghost Talisman, the realm of the caster must at least reach the Void Transformation Realm." Liu Yuan explained.

"According to what I have seen in the relevant classics of the sect, after signing the ghost contract, the cultivator will give all his soul power to the ghosts in the Netherworld after death. Even after reincarnation, he will no longer have a spiritual vein and will never have the opportunity to step into the immortal path." Xu Yang said.

"Since we can embark on the immortal path in this life, we must cherish the current opportunity and have the determination to cultivate to be a true immortal in this life. The theory of reincarnation is illusory. If you fail in this life, even if there is an afterlife, there will be no regrets." Nangong Chongshan said.

After hearing this, Xu Yang secretly admired Nangong Chongshan's determination to practice.

Seven snake eggs, two for each person. Because "Pantao" also made great contributions this time, the remaining snake egg was given to "Pantao" at the insistence of Nangong Chongshan and Liu Yuan. Eating this snake egg will also be of great benefit to Pantao's cultivation.

As they wished, the three of them withdrew from the Ghost Spirit Tower, said goodbye to each other and returned to their respective branches.

......

Wood Spirit Courtyard, Xu Yang's residence.

Xu Yang took out a snake egg and gave it to "Pantao". "Pantao" seemed to be very interested in this egg and swallowed it into his stomach. After swallowing this snake egg, "Pantao" seemed to be drunk and slept soundly in the spirit pet bag.

According to the records in the classics, Xu Yang used a special talisman to attract the spirit of a snake egg, and guided the spiritual power on it into the "Spiritual Transformation Pill" that was prepared to break through the bottleneck. After the spiritual transformation, a snake shadow was vaguely added to the spiritual transformation pill, swimming on the spiritual transformation pill.

Sitting upright, Xu Yang meditated in his practice room.

Three days later, in the morning, the sun rose. Xu Yang, who was still meditating in the practice room, opened his eyes, and the breath was abundant and smooth all over his body. Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang took the spiritual transformation pill into his mouth after the spiritual transformation, and slowly closed his eyes.

The spiritual transformation pill melted in his mouth, and a vigorous medicinal power spread from his stomach. He activated the magic formula and guided this power in an orderly manner to cleanse the meridians of his body.

Two full days later, when Xu Yang opened his eyes again, his whole breath was much stronger than before. When he operated the magic formula, the spiritual pressure he emitted was more than twice the original. He stood up after finishing his work, and his cultivation had reached the peak state of the second level of the spiritual realm.

"The snake eggs of the Pluto King Cobra are really good stuff. The medicinal power of the eggs has helped me to improve my cultivation to the peak of the second level of the Spirit Realm." Xu Yang was full of praise for it.
