- Chapter 22: Black Mystic Python
On a mountain dozens of kilometers away from Canyon City.
At this moment, there was a silver light floating in the air.
Under this silver light, silver osmanthus flowers were blooming on a three-meter-tall osmanthus tree, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
The surrounding spiritual qi kept gathering towards this silver osmanthus tree, gradually forming small spiritual qi vortexes around it.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived, they saw such a scene.
Jiang Chengxuan did not have much of a reaction.
After all, he did not recognize the silver osmanthus tree in front of him. He just instinctively felt that it was somewhat different from the usual osmanthus trees.
However, Shen Ruyan, who was beside him, looked shocked and couldn’t help but say, “This is Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.”
“Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root?”
A trace of surprise appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
The so-called Heaven and Earth Spirit Root referred to a type of spiritual plant born from the abundant spiritual qi of the world.
Some of the fruits could help people break through, some could help people enter a state of enlightenment, and some had abnormally powerful healing effects.
Legend had it that some of the fruits they produced could instantly allow a mortal to ascend to immortality after eating one.
Although Jiang Chengxuan had been in the cultivation world for more than a hundred years, he did not know much about spiritual roots. He only knew that they were quite precious.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into one today.
This was really beyond his expectations.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan continued, “That’s right. If I’m not wrong, this spiritual root should be a silver osmanthus tree. It’s said that the silver osmanthus fruit it bears has the effect of calming one’s mind and preventing the invasion of inner demons.
Of course, this is just the effect when it’s at a low level.
It’s said that the silver osmanthus fruits produced by osmanthus trees above Level 4 have the effect of repairing the damage to the soul and strengthening the soul. They’re really rare treasures.”
At this point, Shen Ruyan seemed to have sensed something and her expression suddenly changed.
“Wait! This silver osmanthus tree seems to be about to advance to Level 2!
And that’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is…”
BOOM!
Before Shen Ruyan could finish speaking, the ground under their feet suddenly exploded.
Immediately after, a black python that was almost ten meters long and covered in a layer of horn-like scales suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan!
“This is… a Level 2 high-grade demon beast, the Black Mystic Python!”
Shen Ruyan’s expression changed again.
At this moment, she seemed to have understood a lot of things, and her expression was very solemn.
“Elder Jiang, be careful. If I’m not wrong, the demon beasts from before should be controlled by this python.
The real purpose of this python here is probably to occupy a Level 2 spiritual vein that is about to be nurtured by the silver osmanthus tree.”
Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression changed. “What? A Level 2 spiritual vein?”
As an independent cultivator, he knew very well how valuable a spiritual vein was.
It was not an exaggeration to say that spiritual veins were the root of cultivators.
Moreover, it was a Level 2 spiritual vein. This was enough to cause a competition between a few or even dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm families or sects.
Even a Violet Palace Immortal family like the Shen family would not ignore a Level 2 spiritual vein.
No wonder the python was so hostile to Canyon City, which was dozens of kilometers away.
Moreover, after sensing the arrival of Foundation Establishment cultivators, the python immediately commanded the other demon beasts to attack.
It probably wanted to get rid of the possible threats.
As the saying went, a mountain could not accommodate two tigers.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the python let out a roar.
Immediately after, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan inexplicably felt their bodies sink.
It was as if they were carrying something weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms on their backs and almost fell from the sky.
“Be careful!”
Three Elements Spiritual Shield was activated.
The shield instantly enlarged, protecting her and Jiang Chengxuan behind it.
The red, yellow, and blue lights on the shield flickered violently.
Immediately after, the entire shield was sent flying.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan reacted quickly.
The moment the shield was thrown away, the two of them immediately dodged to the left and right.
BOOM!
The moment the two of them flashed away, a black snake tail that was as big as a mound struck the spot where they were originally standing, causing a series of sonic booms.
Shen Ruyan, who dodged to the right, immediately shouted, “Be careful of its innate ability, the Gravity Domain. Don’t get hit. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.”
Gravity Doman?
Jiang Chengxuan’s heart skipped a beat.
He really remembered the feeling of being pressed down by a mountain just now.
At that time, it was very difficult for him to even move, let alone counterattack.
Fortunately, Shen Ruyan had that Level 2 defensive Dharma artifact.
Otherwise, even if he didn’t die after getting hit, he would probably be seriously injured.
It seemed that after this mission was over, he had to think of a way to get a defensive Dharma artifact as well.
“Roar!”
At this moment, the python seemed to have targeted Shen Ruyan.
Its tail kept whipping at Shen Ruyan, who was in the air, and sharp blades shot at her from its mouth.
On the other side, Jiang Chengxuan had a bad feeling.
This high-grade Level 2 demon beast was indeed not something an ordinary Level 2 demon beast could compare to.
At least Jiang Chengxuan was not confident at all that he could defeat this python.
Fortunately, Shen Ruyan had many treasures on her that could keep them safe for the time being.
Even so, their situation was not optimistic.
According to the current situation, Shen Ruyan could at most hold on for a while longer.
At this thought, Jiang Chengxuan finally stopped hesitating.
He immediately sent a voice transmission to Shen Ruyan, “Elder Ruyan, I will find a way to control it later. Seize that opportunity to severely injure it. It will be better if you can kill it.”
