Chapter 237 Red-tailed Ringed Snake
"This puppy is so cute, what's its name?"
Jiang Liqian was startled and spread out her spiritual sense instantly, but she couldn't see where the sound came from.
She could only give up her spiritual sense and use her eyes to search instead.
Deep in the sea of swaying flowers, a bamboo hat was loosely placed on a delicate little face the size of a palm.
The girl was wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt and a red rope woven into a pattern of auspicious clouds was tied around her wrist. Her large eyes twinkled on her abnormally fair face, as if she had fallen into a scene full of blooming flowers.
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, until the girl squatted down and reached out to gently stroke Xiao Jintao's head, then she suddenly came back to her senses.
Xiao Jintao seemed to like this strange girl very much, and kept nodding her little head towards her palm.
Jiang Liqian looked at her and became wary, sizing her up suspiciously.
After a while, she asked, "Who are you?"
The girl raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of water and her eyes filled with blooming flowers.
"My name is Arjun, pretty sister."
Jiang Liqian stared at her face intently, and secretly and carefully held the Zhenling Pearl in his hand.
It was because she couldn't sense any breath of a living person from this girl.
Otherwise, her spiritual sense would not have been able to detect her.
Seeing Jiang Liqian's vigilant look, Aqiong slowly let go of Xiao Jintao as if he was used to it, and stood up from the sea of flowers.
There was loneliness and sadness in her eyes, but she still smiled sweetly at Jiang Li and waved her hand, saying, "Beautiful sister, since you don't welcome me, I'll leave. The flowers here are all beautiful, but you can't go to the yellow sea of flowers by the stream. It's not good for the little spirit beast."
After saying this, she didn't delay and turned around and disappeared in the sea of flowers.
Jiang Liqian's frown deepened.
Because the moment the girl turned around, she found that the legs under the girl's skirt were like a shadow and could not be seen clearly at all.
Moreover, she actually felt two contradictory auras from the girl - spiritual power and demonic power.
But how could these two auras appear at the same time in one person - no, a lifeless soul?
What secrets are hidden in this picturesque Hundred Butterfly Valley...
"Woo!"
"Woo!"
The hem of her skirt was pulled twice. Jiang Liqian took the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and leaned over to pick up Xiao Jintao.
"You are so obedient, anyone can touch your little head!"
What if I get kidnapped by a malicious monk in the future?
She sighed.
For safety reasons, she put it back into her pet bag.
She came to the Hundred Butterflies Valley just to see the beautiful scenery. The place was beautiful, but she didn't see a single spiritual butterfly that was praised so highly outside.
Do we need to go further inside?
Thinking of this, Jiang Liqian didn't waste any time. She brushed off the petals on her body and walked along the path in the sea of flowers into the depths of the valley.
Along the way, the flowers were fragrant and the trees were in full bloom. In just two hours, she felt that she had signs of a breakthrough.
She had already felt the barrier of the middle stage of foundation building nine years ago, but she had been suppressing it in order to reduce her presence in the Qiankun Sect. She had hardly meditated and practiced anymore. It was obvious that the spiritual energy in this valley was truly extraordinary.
No wonder so many people come here.
Just when she was thinking about whether to find a place to set up a formation and try to break through, or continue to look for the spirit butterfly, something cold swept across her skirt.
Jiang Liqian's expression changed, and he immediately summoned the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and set up a defensive formation around him.
Rustling sounds came from the sea of flowers on all sides, along with the sound of something rubbing against each other as it swam through the grass.
Jiang Liqian couldn't use his spiritual sense to identify what it was, and his heart sank.
Generally speaking, those who can escape her consciousness are either more advanced than her, or are souls that have not yet been reincarnated.
She could feel that what she encountered this time was probably the first type.
And the other party is much stronger than her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unaware when that thing approached her.
If that thing had attacked her directly just now, she would have been seriously injured if not killed - no, that's not right. It's not that the other party showed mercy, but that she paid the spirit stone and was protected by her master's defensive formation, so the thing didn't hurt her immediately.
That thing was just testing, trying to bypass the master's defense formation and swallow her into its stomach.
Once that thing triggers the master's defensive formation, she will be immediately sent out of the valley, and the food that is about to reach her mouth will be gone.
After figuring this out, my tense heart relaxed and the cold sweat in my palms also subsided a little.
With this layer of protection, Jiang Liqian could relax. The worst that could happen was that she would be teleported out of the valley! She channeled her spiritual energy, and the Soul-Suppressing Pearl in her hand immediately emitted a bright blue light, sweeping towards the surrounding sea of flowers.
Countless petals flew into the sky, and the blue light was like a sharp sword, ruthlessly harvesting all possible life in the sea of flowers.
No mercy at all.
The thing that had been swimming around in the sea of flowers finally couldn't hide anymore. It roared, jumped out of the sea of flowers, and swung its long tail hard, knocking down the Soul-Suppressing Pearl that was coming straight towards it.
Jiang Liqian narrowed her eyes slightly, and with a flick of her fingers, a purple arc of electricity burst out from around the Zhenlingzhu. The thing felt pain in its tail and roared again.
Flowers fluttered in the sky and then slowly fell down.
Jiang Liqian held the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and finally saw the object clearly among the flowers.
The red-tailed five-ringed snake is a monster that will never appear in Zhongzhou.
The cold sweat that had subsided covered her back again. Even though she was strong in heart, she couldn't help but take a step back in fear.
The red-tailed five-ringed snake is a fifth-level monster from birth, which is equivalent to the golden elixir stage of a human cultivator.
As the number of white rings on their bodies increases, their demonic power will also grow at a terrifying rate.
One circle, infant stage, fifth-level monster.
Two circles, childhood stage, sixth-level monster.
Three circles, adolescence, level six and a half.
Three circles, youth stage, seventh-level monster.
Four circles, middle age, level seven and a half.
Five circles, the final stage, the eighth-level monster.
An eighth-level demon beast, equivalent to a powerful cultivator in the Guixu period.
This kind of powerful monster can only exist in secret realms or the western and northern states. If its shadow even appears in the central state, it will be surrounded and killed by all the major sects to avoid large-scale casualties.
How could a not-so-big Baidie Valley possibly have such a powerful and gifted demon beast?
and……
Jiang Liqian forced herself to calm down and counted the rings on the red-tailed five-ringed snake.
——Three laps.
Almost the strength of a god.
A gap as huge as a chasm.
What's the difference between her, a young cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and an ant in front of it?
She had just dared to use such a trick to hurt it.
The demon snake also recovered from the pain at this time, and looked at Jiang Liqian with a pair of vertical pupils with coldness, as if looking at a dead object.
"Well," she thought quickly of a way to escape, "I said I came here by mistake and disturbed your meditation. Could you please let me go?"
