Volume 1 Chapter 11 Hatching Snake Eggs

Chapter 11 Hatching Snake Eggs ()

Unfortunately, the black panther was too fast, and the jungle was too dark, so it disappeared after a few jumps. Zhang Pa was a little annoyed. Why did it run away? He stopped and listened carefully, trying to find out where the black panther was. He unconsciously released his spiritual sense and scolded himself again: You are the stupidest and most cowardly waste in the world. Damn, you are a cultivator, you are a top-level master in the Qi Refining Stage, you have spiritual sense to cover your body and keep watch for you! If you had released your spiritual sense earlier, you would not have been bitten three times by the stupid panther. But then again, if you hadn't been bitten, you wouldn't have known that it was not scary.

Zhang Pa laughed foolishly and released his spiritual sense to explore the way. He was leisurely and was not afraid of the darkness in the forest.

The forest was too vast, and Zhang Pa didn't stop. He walked until dawn but couldn't get out. But this night he gained a lot. He saw too many wild animals along the way. In the past, every one of them would make him shout for help, but this night, he had a lot of fun. Pythons, black bears, tigers, giant rats, etc., attacked one after another. Zhang Pa used his spiritual sense to explore, and they were all ordinary wild beasts, so he let them do whatever they wanted. The three puppies in his arms were always afraid, and Zhang Pa pretended to be mature and criticized and educated them: "What's so scary? Be brave, it's okay."

When the sun rose, the horizon was broadened and it was easier to walk. He performed the wind magic and ran wildly to the north. Five hours later, the trees began to gradually become sparse, and Zhang Pa was delighted, it seemed that he had reached the edge of the forest. Going forward, there were indeed no trees, and all he could see was sand. Zhang Pa used all his strength, and after six hours, the sand turned into loess, a large area of ​​loess, looking around, except for the sand behind him, it was all loess. Zhang Pa was puzzled, there is such an area in Tianlei Mountain? Why have I never heard of it?

Confused in his heart, he released his spiritual sense to explore, and the surroundings were dead and silent. What on earth is this place? He continued to move forward, and after walking for a whole day, the loess turned into frozen soil. Zhang Pa was completely confused. Could it be that he had reached the legendary Far North? He took out his dagger, squatted down and stabbed it into the ground, but only a shallow pit was made.

Zhang Pa continued to walk forward, and the frozen soil gradually disappeared, turning into a white ice surface. Could it be that the north of Tianlei Mountain is the Far North? Zhang Pa was thinking randomly, and the three puppies in his arms were shivering from the cold. Zhang Pa smiled, put away the ice barrier, and replaced it with a thousand walls of anger to protect the body, and the puppies settled down.

The glacier was really wide, and the farther he walked, the more he saw the edge. Zhang Pa kept cursing, and he felt cold even if he walked forward. So he stopped and used his spiritual sense to search with all his strength. Suddenly, he noticed an abnormal breath in the distance, and it seemed to be very powerful. The first reaction in his mind was to run away. He did not hesitate and immediately used the wind technique to run back. While running, he controlled his spiritual sense to check. Sure enough, the abnormal breath was coming towards him, getting closer and closer.

Zhang Pa did not think about it anymore, retracted all his spiritual sense, and concentrated on running away. Being timid has its advantages, that is, escaping in time. When Zhang Pa ran through the frozen soil and came to the yellow soil, the powerful breath behind him stopped moving. Zhang Pa ran far away before he dared to use his spiritual sense to check, and he could no longer detect the abnormal breath. Although he was curious, he deeply understood that he had the right to be curious only if he survived, so he decided to change direction and continue walking.

The south is the direction he came from, and there is an unknown danger in the north, so let's go east.

After walking east for a while, the ground turned into sand again, and after the sand, there was a forest. Zhang Pa understood a little that he was still in the forest. The cold place just now should be the center of the forest, with the glacier as the center of the circle, and the outside was frozen soil, yellow soil, sand, and forest in order. He couldn't help sticking out his tongue, this broken forest is too big.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark again, he had been walking for three days and two nights, and he was a little tired, so he decided to rest. He let out the three puppies, took out dry food and water to feed them, and ate a little himself. Then he stuffed the three puppies into his arms again. The little guy was also sensible and knew to be afraid, but he still squeezed his head in the open collar to look out. Zhang Pa set up more than a dozen barriers to surround himself before he fell asleep slowly with his dog in his arms.

That night, he didn't sleep well and was always afraid. Fortunately, cultivators can rest while meditating. In the early morning, he practiced for a few weeks, stood up energetically, and went east.

The number of wild animals in the forest began to increase, similar to what he had seen in the past few days, but Zhang Pa no longer had the heart to play. When he saw wild animals, he would hide if he could, and scare them away if he couldn't. Soon four days passed, and he finally walked out of the forest. Before Zhang Pa had time to catch his breath, he was shocked by the scenery in front of him, and he was so angry that he cursed: "What the hell is this place? What the hell is this place?"

The edge of the forest was a cliff. Looking at the opposite side, there was nothing but fog, a vast expanse of white; the same fog was heavy and boundless in the north and south directions. Zhang Pa simply sat on the edge of the cliff and looked down. There was also a white fog below. He released his spiritual sense to explore, and there was no breath of living things within the search range.

Zhang Pa was too lazy to curse, so he found a stone bigger than himself and threw it off the cliff. After waiting for a long time, no sound came up, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I have learned a lot." For the first time, he wanted to know what kind of existence Tianlei Mountain was? Why were there so many strange things around?

Lying on the edge of the cliff and looking down, he suddenly had the urge to jump down. Zhang Pa was depressed and hurriedly stepped back. It would be funny if he really jumped down in excitement. He would die without knowing how he died.

Lying on the grass, looking at the trees, clouds and blue sky, patting the three puppies in his arms, he suddenly remembered the 128 snake eggs, stood up and released the puppies, tore open the interlayer of his Taoist robe, and took out the beast-taming bag. He probed into his spiritual consciousness, took out the snake eggs and the pearl tear, piled the snake eggs together, and looked at them carefully one by one in the sun.

This was the first time he had observed the snake eggs so carefully since he had obtained them without asking. Each one was round and sparkling. Holding it in his hand, he could feel the life beating, weak but unceasing. After looking at them one by one, he put them all against his chest, letting his heartbeat drive them to beat together.

He took the pearl tears again and looked at them in the sun. Strangely, the originally transparent tears could not be penetrated by the sunlight. Zhang Pa held the pearl tears tightly, and in an instant, a faint sadness enveloped his body. Slowly, the sadness accumulated, and there was nothing else in his mind. There was no excitement, happiness, or even fear, only sadness.

Zhang Pa let go of his hand. It was a strange feeling. He turned his head to look at the puppies, afraid that they would get lost, but he found that the three puppies were crawling on the ground honestly, with tears in their eyes. Zhang Pa was shocked and stood up to look around. The grass and trees around him also bent down. Could this be the power of the pearl tears?

He held the pearl tear again, letting the sorrow erode his whole body. The sorrow was so powerful that the snake eggs on his chest flew into the air. One hundred and twenty-eight snake eggs gathered into a circle and circled above Zhang Pa's head. Suddenly, a spiritual light shot out from Zhang Pa's forehead and hit one of the snake eggs. Then the snake egg slowly rose and became brighter and brighter.

The brighter the snake egg, the more painful Zhang Pa was. He didn't know why the spiritual light shot out from his forehead, but he knew that the spiritual power in his body was pouring out and all injected into the snake eggs. Not long after, the spiritual power in his body was drained out. When he was about to collapse, the pearl tear in his palm suddenly shone with white light, and a large amount of spiritual power gushed out and injected into Zhang Pa's meridians.

Zhang Pa understood that the scene in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave had to be repeated, but the objects were changed. He had to smile bitterly. Many things happened unclearly. Who said that being a fool is happy?

The snake eggs on the top of his head were filled with spiritual power, and the light reached its peak, dazzlingly white. Then there was a crackling sound, and the snake eggs cracked, revealing a small white snake as long as a finger and as thick as a chopstick. The little snake swayed its head slightly, and when it saw Zhang Pa, it rubbed against him, frightening Zhang Pa half to death, and he muttered in his heart: "It's over, it's going to bite me." The little snake did not bite him, and lay quietly on the edge of his palm close to the pearl tear.

Zhang Pa was relieved and thought to himself that it was okay, but before he could say thankful words, the spiritual light on his forehead reappeared and shot at another snake egg, and then the snake egg rose into the air, absorbed spiritual power, and then hatched. The hatched little snakes lay on Zhang Pa's body and remained motionless.

A similar process was carried out four times in total, and the hatching stopped only when the spiritual power in the pearl tear was exhausted. Zhang Pa was finally able to move, and hurriedly put away the remaining snake eggs and pearl tears, and focused on watching the four white little snakes. The little snakes were too young, lying quietly on the palm of his hand without moving. Zhang Pa was worried that they would bite him, and wanted to move them but didn't dare.
