Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

There wasn't a single peach tree in the entire forest.

It was quite illogical that Great Sage, reaching his furry paw under a tree root, pulled out a rotten peach.

This green peach came from elsewhere.

Everything around had been ravaged beyond recognition by the great demon and the beast tide.

Before Xu Chengxian and the others arrived, this place had undergone at least two major battles.

The first should have been the high-level demons of this area hunting and preying on the demons within the beast tide.

The second was the great demon's killing of the high-level demons.

"It truly demonstrates the law of the jungle to the fullest," Xu Chengxian had a direct experience of the cruelty of the Northern Wilderness Mountains.

Of course, once high-level demons died, they would also be devoured by low-level demons.

There were many traces of licking beast blood, but almost no scraps of flesh.

However, perhaps due to his past life as a human, he didn't feel much sorrow for their kind, but instead felt more gratitude and alertness.

Grateful that he hadn't been swept up in this disaster.

She Xiaocui's aptitude was ordinary. She originally lived on the edge of the mountain range, and because it was her first time laying eggs, she went a little further towards the edge, thus escaping the calamity.

At the same time, he became vigilant.

Even with the system, it wasn't guaranteed that he could avoid becoming the weak prey to the strong.

"There are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens; there are always experts stronger than experts," Xu Chengxian thought.

Excessive arrogance invites disaster, excessive sky brings rain, and excessive snake is easily made into spicy snacks.

Therefore, it was better to sleep well and wait until he was strong enough not to be easily eaten before thinking about anything else.

"We're in luck," Lingxiao said, looking at the green peach, "This peach has some spiritual energy."

Although the peach flesh was definitely inedible, the peach pit could be kept, and perhaps it could be planted to grow a peach tree that bears spiritual fruit.

Ling Yunzi also looked and said with some regret, "The great demon's demonic power lingers and hasn't dissipated. The decaying death energy within has contaminated the peach flesh, so it's indeed inedible."

Things containing spiritual energy, as long as the spiritual energy doesn't dissipate, generally won't rot.

However, spiritual energy is inherently pure, so if spiritual objects are contaminated by other forces, the rate of decay will actually accelerate.

This green peach's flesh would almost completely rot away in a few hours.

"Great Sage, put the peach on the ground," he said to Great Sage.

"Squeak, squeak!" Great Sage knew that he was Xu Chengxian's brother, and obediently placed the green peach on the ground.

Ling Yunzi then used his tail to tap the peach, and a little spiritual power flashed and transferred to the green peach.

The peach flesh on top fell off one after another, revealing the clean peach pit.

"Old ghost, see if there's any life force inside this peach pit," he said to Xu Chengxian, turning his head.

"Ah? Let me see? How am I supposed to see?"

"What are you pretending for? Use your divine sense to probe," Lingxiao sneered.

"...Tsk." Xu Chengxian thought, in front of these two guys, he really couldn't hide anything.

Of course, he hadn't seriously tried to hide it anyway.

Concentrating his mind, he sent his divine sense over, touching the peach pit. Passing through the hard outer shell, there was a faint green halo within.

"That's the life force, it should be able to be planted," Ling Yunzi nodded, "Look at the surface again, is there any gray-black demonic energy?"

"No," Xu Chengxian shook his head, "It was all stripped away with the peach flesh." He could see it very clearly.

"That's good."

The three snakes and one monkey rummaged around again, but found nothing.

So they prepared to go back.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Great Sage pointed to a place and jumped over a few times. He lay down, opened the leaves above, and held out a handful of soil soaked in beast blood.

"This is easy to handle," Xu Chengxian said.

The trees broken in battle were as thick as two people could hug, and they had just fallen to the ground. The bark wasn't completely dry yet, so it was very tough.

He peeled off a section, rolled it into a tube, filled it with soil, tied the two ends tightly with vines, curled his tail, and dragged it along.

Soil soaked in the blood of high-level demons, although not a rare thing, was beneficial to spiritual plants, so it wouldn't hurt to take it.

Then, they took something with two pointed ends back to the river.

After getting on Grandpa Turtle's back, Great Sage began to work busily, using the soil he brought to plant the peach pit in the middle of the spirit-gathering grass.

Everyone continued on their way.

Two days later.

They once again brushed past another wave of beast tides.

Lingxiao was surprised that the great demon hadn't died yet.

But he immediately beckoned Ling Yunzi and Xu Chengxian to take Great Sage ashore to search for treasure.

Unfortunately, their luck wasn't good this time.

They didn't even see soil soaked in beast blood.

"It was directly swallowed by the great demon," Lingxiao said, glancing around.

After that, the number of times the great demon took action was much more frequent than before.

Each time, they would stagger their arrival to check.

But they returned empty-handed several times in a row.

Moreover, due to the existence of the great demon and the beast tide, they hadn't encountered a single demon beast above the fourth rank.

Let alone obtaining demon cores.

Therefore, the cultivation of refining moonlight with demon cores at night was forced to end.

It turned into meditation cultivation, and the speed of attracting moonlight slowed down a lot.

Bang!

"Roar!"

That day, the moon was in the middle of the sky.

A miserable howl came from the forest.

The great demon had taken action again.

Lingxiao woke up from his meditation, looked at Ling Yunzi, and then looked at Xu Chengxian.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go," Xu Chengxian said, getting up.

"The demon beasts being killed are getting weaker and weaker," Ling Yunzi said hesitantly.

The great demon had gone from selectively hunting demon beasts above the seventh rank to indiscriminately slaughtering them, and he wouldn't let go of even slightly outstanding fifth and sixth ranks.

That's why he took action so frequently.

Otherwise, where would there be so many high-level demon beasts for him to kill?

Of course, their family wasn't noticed by the great demon because their cultivation time was too short, their magic power fluctuations were not obvious, their bloodline aptitude was not high, or they had no magic power fluctuations at all.

The only thing that was a bit eye-catching was Xu Chengxian's size.

But if you didn't know that he was less than half a year old, this size was only the size of a fourth or fifth rank mountain python.

Therefore, he wasn't worried about the danger of going there, but felt that going there was a waste of effort.

Weak demon beasts couldn't protect even if they had natural treasures.

"Old brother, don't dawdle. We're already here," Xu Chengxian stretched his body, "If we don't go and see, what if we miss something? You'll regret it later."

"Besides, even if there are no natural treasures, even if there's soil stained with beast blood, it's still a gain, and it's not a wasted trip."

It would be even better if they could hunt a few more demon beasts who were panicking and running away for a snack.

"Accumulating resources is very important. As the saying goes, with food in hand, you won't panic. Accumulate food widely, postpone claiming kingship, and only by accumulating slowly can you achieve a career."

Xu Chengxian said as he swam, "Isn't our cultivation like this? We all have to accumulate little by little. We can't rush."

He thought, you see my blood energy, isn't it accumulated by sleeping little by little?

Alas, it's been almost half a year, and he's only slept up to the sixth rank.

"...Old ghost, these words of yours are interesting," Lingxiao smiled, "Especially the sentence 'We're already here.' After hearing it, I also feel that we have to go and see."

Ling Yunzi also got up.

He had to admit that the four words 'We're already here' seemed to have some kind of magic that made people unable to resist.

"Hmph, hmph, this is one of the Four Great Incantations."

"What are the other three?"

"I'll tell you later."

"..." Ling Yunzi thought, who are you fooling?

Four Great Incantations? This seat was born in the orthodox Xuanmen sect and has never heard of it.

Half an hour later.

He and Lingxiao, looking at the sapling that Great Sage dug out of the demon beast's cave, suddenly had some doubts.

They suspected that the Four Great Incantations really existed, and they were too ignorant.

"This is a Dragon Blood Tree," Lingxiao said, "This is indeed a Dragon Blood Tree sapling."

"Yes," Ling Yunzi nodded, a treasure for the bloodline evolution of the snake python race.

The two looked at each other, and both looked at Xu Chengxian.

He was stunned by their gaze: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this tree?"

"There's nothing wrong with this tree, it's you..." Lingxiao wanted to say, there's something very wrong with you. Just as she was about to ask if the remaining Three Great Incantations also had the effect of prayer, she suddenly heard a sigh from afar that made one's heart skip a beat.

"The great demon is dead?"

Then, a voice resounded throughout the mountains.

"By order of the Demon Commander Fu Qing, under the command of the White-browed Demon Marquis, subordinate to the Great King of the South!"
