Chapter 382: Mutated Snake Heart Lotus, Encounter with Chu Feng
The night in the secret realm of Shenhuang Ridge is very long.
However, even though it was already dark, the surface of the desert was still scorching hot, but the wind was icy cold, which was really strange.
Zhao Mu had no choice but to take out the cloak again, and then throw out a pile of clothes to help Xia Ruoxi solve the problem. After all, he still had to rely on the heroine's incredible luck to leave this forbidden land of death alive.
"Brother Zhao, how about we just..."
"Shut up."
"Giggle~"
Xia Ruoxi giggled and changed her position to continue hugging Zhao Mu. The two of them didn't look like they were looking for opportunities, nor did they look like they were in a forbidden place of death. Instead, they looked like they were here to cultivate feelings.
Zhao Mu felt very confused. He didn’t understand why his resistance to the heroine was getting weaker and weaker. Could it be because of the abnormality in his body?
One side is ice, the other side is fire....
Half an hour later, Zhao Mu squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you done?"
"Brother Zhao, you should be able to feel it yourself."
"You are at the level of the Void Realm, don't you have any ability to suppress it?"
“I want to have one, but…”
"Okay, stop talking. I'm warning you, don't move. If you dare to do anything excessive and make me make a mistake, I will kill you."
"Good good."
Xia Ruoxi giggled, obviously not taking Zhao Mu's threat seriously. However, she would not do anything more extreme at the moment. She had to find a good opportunity. She already had a clear idea of what kind of person Zhao Mu was.
He is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He only talks the talk, but if they really want to have sex, it would be strange if he could bring himself to do it.
Another half hour passed before Zhao Mu put away his cloak.
To his surprise, Xia Ruoxi did not take advantage of the situation and hugged his arm this time.
"Come on, Senior Brother Zhao, what are you staring at?"
Seeing that Zhao Mu didn't move, Xia Ruoxi turned around and waved, even taking a few steps back and putting her delicate little hand into the former's palm, "Is this okay?"
"嘁~"
Zhao Mu snorted coldly and immediately shook off Xia Ruoxi's hand.
"Brother Zhao, don't be angry. Ruoxi was just joking. If you don't like to catch it, then don't catch it."
Not only was Xia Ruoxi not angry, she even looked flattering.
This made Zhao Mu sigh in his heart: Green tea is really terrible. Not only is it extremely considerate, but it also knows how to provide the correct emotional value. No one can withstand it, and I am the only exception.
The desert of the forbidden land of death is endless and the direction is impossible to tell. The two of them turned around and around and didn't know where they were going, but Xia Ruoxi made all the decisions along the way and Zhao Mu trusted her.
Sure enough, after about three hours, the two encountered... danger.
"This is....."
"A sixth-level snake demon. Judging from its appearance, it should be about to break through to the seventh level. And why does this snake look so much like a black-browed snake, except for the surface color that's a little different? A black-browed snake should be all green with some black spots on its back, but this one is all fiery red, but the black spots haven't changed. Also, the black-browed snake is similar to the rock python, both are low-level demon beasts with low bloodlines, so it's impossible for them to grow to the seventh level."
The two of them lay behind the sand dune, and Xia Ruoxi sent a telepathic message to Zhao Mu.
"Maybe it has something to do with the special environment here."
Zhao Mu guessed.
"That's probably the only explanation."
Xia Ruoxi nodded in agreement and was about to leave quietly so as not to disturb the other person's transformation. After all, a snake demon that broke through the seventh level from the sixth level was not to be trifled with. However, just as the two were about to leave, she caught a glimpse of a barely perceptible light from the corner of her eye.
"what happened again?"
Seeing Xia Ruoxi holding him, Zhao Mu asked curiously.
"Brother Zhao, the Snake Heart Lotus is right in the center of the snake's coil."
Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, then he became interested. Snake Heart Lotus is one of the main ingredients in refining the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill, and the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill is the most famous healing pill and one of the most effective ones.
Snake Heart Lotus cannot be cultivated artificially because no one knows what the growth conditions are for it. It is only known that it will grow from the heart of a dead snake under certain specific circumstances.
Because the grades of the snake bodies are different, the grades of the snake heart lotus that grows are also different. So far, the highest grade of snake heart lotus is grade nine, but many people speculate that there are higher grade snake heart lotus. It’s just that the number of demon snakes above grade nine is small, and they are all high-level clans, royal families, and even imperial families. If the situation does not allow it, such a big clan will never allow their members to be exposed in the wilderness.
Following Xia Ruoxi's reminder, Zhao Mu looked into the distance and indeed discovered the imperceptible light, but the color was a little wrong. Normally, the snake heart lotus should be pure white, but this one had a little red light.
"This is... a mutated Snake Heart Lotus. It's so attractive to a peak-level sixth-order snake demon. It's very likely a seventh-grade Snake Heart Lotus."
The medicinal effect of the seventh-grade mutated snake heart lotus may be comparable to that of the ordinary eighth-grade snake heart lotus. It is very valuable and cannot be simply measured by spirit stones.
Zhao Mu was a little tempted, "Can you beat him?"
"It's very difficult. The monsters here are much stronger than those of the same level, and it is still in the critical period of breakthrough. If we take action, it is very likely to swallow the Snake Heart Lotus immediately."
Xia Ruoxi was also tempted, but given the current situation, the possibility of getting the mutated snake heart lotus was almost zero.
Snake Heart Lotus is the best breakthrough aid for snake monsters. This suspected mutated black-browed neck snake broke through here, most likely wanting to use this snake heart lotus as a support.
"That's a shame."
Zhao Mu sighed deeply. The feeling of seeing the treasure but not being able to get it was much more painful than being tormented by Xia Ruoxi. If he had known this would happen, he should not have looked back. Out of sight, out of mind. If he didn't know, there wouldn't be so many problems.
"How about I try?"
Seeing Zhao Mu's regretful look, Xia Ruoxi pulled his arm.
"Forget it, the risk is not worth taking."
"I knew that Senior Brother Zhao cared about me."
Xia Ruoxi immediately hit the snake with a stick.
"Don't think too much. I'm just worried that if you die in the snake's mouth, I'll also be buried in the snake's belly."
Zhao Mu rolled his eyes and pried Xia Ruoxi's hands apart with a look of disgust.
"That's perfect. I can die with you, Senior Brother Zhao. It's just a pity that neither of us has ever experienced the bliss of the human world."
“…”
This damn green tea has started again.
Sometimes Zhao Mu really couldn't understand why the heroine was so greedy for his body. Even if Gou Tiandao was secretly influencing her, it wouldn't be to this extent. She completely lost the dignity that a heroine should have.
However, just as they were about to leave quietly, the demon snake that was breaking through suddenly became violent.
"Someone took the Snake Heart Lotus."
Xia Ruoxi was the first to discover that the Snake Heart Lotus was missing. The snake demon, which was suspected to be a mutation of the Black Eyebrow Neck Snake, chased in a certain direction, revealing a huge snake demon skeleton.
"It's that guy!"
Zhao Mu and Xia Ruoxi looked at each other and immediately guessed the identity of the person who took away the Snake Heart Lotus.
"Let's go and catch up and see."
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? Senior Brother Zhao is wise."
“…”
