C16 Serpentine Margin

Liu Di returned on a horse. After walking for a few hours, he realized that he had lost his way.

When he came, he used Wind Controlling Technique, but when he came back, he was riding a horse. The two methods were off target, but Liu Di didn't mind. Riding slowly, he carefully recalled and analyzed the route.

As he was walking, the horse suddenly stopped. Liu Di looked over with rapt attention and saw that there was a big battle going on on on the southern slope a hundred steps away!

The object of this battle was an eagle and a snake. The wings of the eagle were more than two zhang wide. The iron claws were like hooks as they flapped their wings, causing sand and rocks to fly into the air. It was extremely powerful.

The serpent was only about three meters long when it looked at him in such a manner. In addition to the eagle's attack in the air, the snake was barely able to withstand the attack, and it became more and more unbearable.

Even though Liu Di had hunted countless times, this was the first time he had seen such a great fight between Eagle Snakes. He looked at it with relish, and felt slightly relieved from the sadness of the past few days.

After about an incense stick of time, the large snake finally couldn't hold on any longer. He gave up on resisting and his pair of bulging snake eyes were filled with endless despair.

Liu Di was stunned, such a despairing look. It reminded him of Ye Er. She must have felt so helpless before her death.

Therefore, without any hesitation, a green leaf automatically flew without any wind. In the blink of an eye, it appeared at the foot of the eagle. Then, a claw slashed through the green leaves, leaving behind a trail of blood.

Liu Di didn't want to kill the eagle, so he only slightly threatened. The falcon was extremely intelligent, it knew that others would interfere, and it could not be its opponent. He no longer continued to fight and rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon.

Liu Di smiled. After determining the direction, he continued heading west.

When the sky darkened, Liu Di went back on the road. The mountain road was rough and the forest was deep. It was not wise to travel in the dark at night.

Liu Di vaguely remembered that there was a small lake nearby, so he identified the direction and prepared to rest by the lake for the night. He also had some water and could take a good bath.

By the time they arrived at the lakeside, it was already completely dark. Liu Di picked up a few dry branches and started a fire. He gathered another pile of dried branches while the flame was still burning. He reckoned that the fire could continue until dawn.

Then he took off all his clothes and jumped into the lake for a bath.

Perhaps it was due to the softness of the lake, or perhaps it was due to the fatigue from travelling continuously. Perhaps it was the relaxation after the great sorrow, but Liu Di actually stood in the lake and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept for several hours until a rustling sound came from the quiet forest. Liu Di came to his senses and looked around. There was a big snake by the lake looking at him with its big eyes.

Liu Di recognized it at a glance. It was the huge snake that he had saved from the claws of the eagle. During the years Liu Di and his master cultivated in Soo City, they had killed countless beasts. He had grilled the snake meat dozens of times already, so he was not afraid at all.

Liu Di smiled, then walked ashore naked and put on his clothes. What Liu Di didn't know was that when he went ashore naked, the snake had hidden its head in the grass with its eyes closed.

Liu Di put on his clothes and walked in front of the snake. Liu Di touched the snake's head and could see the gratitude in the snake's eyes.

The huge snake stuck out its tongue and licked Liu Di's face. To Liu Di, the Snake Trust, which normal people were abnormally afraid of, was exceptionally soft and comfortable, with a slight itch.

Liu Di laughed out loud. He used his hand to stroke the snake's head and said, "I need to hurry home. You should go home too. Maybe we will have another chance to meet again in the future. "

With that said, he jumped onto the horse and began to pull at the reins.

The huge snake suddenly scurried to the front of the horse, spitting its tongue. The horse was shocked and raised its leg, almost throwing Liu Di off the horse.

Liu Di comforted the horse, looked at the big snake in front of him and said, "Hey, little guy, do you want to follow me?" The serpent just kept spitting out his tongue.

Liu Di pondered in his heart. Looking at the expression of this huge snake, it was obviously quite intelligent. Maybe he really could understand human speech, so he tried to speak to the snake, "Little guy, can you understand what I'm saying? If you understand, you nod three times. "

Sure enough, the snake nodded three times.

Liu Di smiled and said, "That's good then. It's good that we can communicate." Then he asked: "You're coming home with me?" The serpent shook its head.

"You need my help?" The serpent shook its head again.

Liu Di pondered for a moment and asked, "Where do you want to take me?" The serpent nodded.

Liu Di smiled and said, "Then I'm really sorry, I have urgent matters and I have to hurry home. "When I'm done with my family matters, I'll definitely come here to play with you." The giant snake, however, shook his head repeatedly.

This time, Liu Di was in trouble. Looking at the way the giant snake looked, he didn't have the heart to jump off the horse.

He then asked, "Is the place you want to take me to far away?" The serpent shook its head.

Liu Di made up his mind. "Fine, I will follow you. Lead the way."

Joy appeared in the snake's eyes. It swam towards the direction Liu Di came from with a whoosh. Its speed was actually not any slower than a horse.

Liu Di said with a wry smile, "You're asking me to backtrack again." Then, he spurred his horse to follow.

After walking with the large snake for about an hour, they had actually arrived at the peak of a mountain. Then, the snake moved to the cliff at the top of the mountain. Then, it looked back at Liu Di, who was behind, and stopped moving forward.

Liu Di was able to catch up to them in the latter half of the journey. It would be impossible for the horses to reach the halfway mark of the mountain.

When Liu Di saw that the destination was the cliff, he couldn't help but laugh: "Little guy, you aren't trying to get me to jump off the cliff and get a secret manual, right? "Isn't this plot a bit too cliché?"

The big snake didn't understand Liu Di's words this time. He just looked at Liu Di in confusion.

Liu Di came up and rubbed the snake's head, then asked, "What do I do next?" The serpent understood, and slowly approached the edge of the cliff, winking at it.

Liu Di said with a bitter face, "Little guy, you can't really want me to jump down, right?" The giant serpent nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Di's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there really was a treasure below? The giant serpent was intelligent. This was a very possible outcome! Thinking about this, Liu Di's heart burned with passion as he began to observe the cliff to see how he could safely descend.

Liu Di was dumbfounded by this observation. Looking down from the top of the cliff, there was a giant crater several miles in radius in front of him. The cliff he was standing on was the edge of the crater.

What surprised Liu Di was that this huge pit was definitely not formed naturally. Judging from the traces on the surrounding cliffs, it was clearly the result of a meteorite falling from the sky! The pit was so deep that one could not see the bottom. All one could see was a layer of mist.

Liu Di tried to use the Spiritual Sense to probe the area below, but couldn't find anything. Now that Liu Di was in trouble, there was a 80% chance that there was a treasure below.

Unable to resist the temptation of treasures, Liu Di began to think. He used tree vines to make ropes to go down, or he used tree branches to open his clothes to serve as parachutes.

He thought that if he controlled the spiritual qi to control the wind, he would at most fall to the ground and die.

Realizing that there seemed to be quite a few ways to go down, Liu Di beamed. Treasure, oh treasure, here I come!

Even though Liu Di had lived two lifetimes, he still made the simplest mistake.

He had never thought about how he would be able to climb up the mountain after he descended. The pit was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It must have existed for a very long time. There was a 90% chance of having a strange beast below. How could a mere level three Qi Refining cultivator like him resist against it?

As the saying goes, profit makes one dizzy. This was the case.

Just as Liu Di was trying to figure out a way to get down, the snake was again sticking its tongue out at the cliff.

Liu Di said, "Little guy, don't rush me."

The huge snake panicked. It threw its long tail off the cliff and climbed up the cliff. It seemed to be trying to use its tail to look down.

Liu Di wondered, when he saw that the snake's tail was wrapped around a small tree at the bottom of the cliff, and was currently tugging at it with all its might. The roots of the small tree seemed to be firmly stuck in the crevices of the rocks, and the serpent was motionless, swaying from side to side.

Liu Di laughed, "You must be pulling the river. "Let me help you." He lay down on the ground and stretched out his hand, just in time to reach the small tree.

The moment the tree appeared, Liu Di was immediately dumbfounded. How was this a small tree? It was clearly a bow!

Previously, most of them had been stuck in cracks in the rock so that they couldn't be seen clearly. Coupled with the fact that the bowstring was so transparent that it was extremely hard to see clearly with the naked eye, it was no wonder that it was considered a branch.

Liu Di held the bow in his hand and looked at it carefully. The bow was made in rough work and was extremely ugly to look at. It was just like the little gadgets that his master once gave him.

Furthermore, the bow was short and slender. It was much smaller than the bow he had been practicing with back then. From the looks of it, it looked like a toy bow for children.

However, after Liu Di was scolded by his master for using looks to take items, he no longer made a judgment about his unassuming appearance.

He raised the bow in his hand and said to the big snake, "This little guy wanted me to come here. It can't be for this, right?" The giant snake's eyes were filled with joy as it solemnly nodded its head.

Liu Di was greatly disappointed. Not to mention this bow's vulgar appearance, have you ever seen a good treasure being obtained so easily?

However, Liu Di did not show it on his face. He kept the bow back into the Storage Ring and said sincerely to the snake: "Thank you so much." The huge snake was even more joyous as it swam forward and snuggled up to Liu Di's feet.

Liu Di patted the snake's head and said, "Alright, I got it baby. I really have to go."

The snake was reluctant to let go. Seeing this, Liu Di also felt that the snake was a bit pitiful.

So he promised, "Don't worry, when I'm done with my important matters, I'll definitely come back and play with you! "Oh yeah, my name is Liu Di. From now on, we are friends." And then he added, If I'm not dead.

When the giant serpent heard these words, although it was unwilling, it could only nod.

Liu Di stood up and walked down the mountain under the bidding farewell gaze of the big snake Yi Yi.
