"Everything here is filled with white bones and old dusty broken snake scales. It doesn't look like anything special..."

Gu Wei muttered and whispered.

He looked around and saw these two things. Those old snake scales were far inferior to the scales they collected from the Silver Moon Blood Python.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep going up. I'm afraid this is just an abandoned lair. The Silver Moon Blood Python is so huge that this cave can no longer accommodate its body!"

Duan Hu hit Gu Wei on the back of the head from behind and scolded him for talking nonsense.

He kept his mouth busy along the way. I wonder if this consumes a lot of water.

The only pure water they carry with them is what's in the kettle. The rest of the water supply depends on Pu Xun's water magic. Only a water mage can ensure the water supply in the Land of the Dead.

The Land of the Dead is lifeless, with almost no vegetation to grow and no clean water sources.

Those murky mire accumulated by rainwater are filled with piles of broken limbs and putrid blood, which contain dangerous corpse poison and are impossible to drink.

"Continue walking up, and its nest should be almost there. The spaces in these nests where it once lived are getting bigger and bigger, and it's almost close to its current shelter..."

Chen Lei and Xu Huang originally walked at the end, but now he and Pu Xun are far ahead. He stood at the entrance of the tunnel leading to a higher place, waving and calling to his teammates.

Snakes shed their skin every once in a while. Adult snakes generally shed about three times a year. Young snakes grow rapidly and shed more frequently.

Snakes will molt multiple times throughout their lives, and their body size will increase after each molt. Correspondingly, their food intake will also increase due to the increase in body size.

Shedding is an important physiological phenomenon for snake monsters. During shedding, the previously worn skin can also be shed, so that their skin remains smooth and their scales become harder.

The scales of snake monsters are integrated with the epidermis and surround the outside of the body to protect internal organs and prevent excessive evaporation of body water.

Those large abdominal scales also have the function of crawling, just like the Silver Moon Blood Python, whose abdominal scales are far larger than other scales.

The skin of snakes lacks glands, sebaceous glands or sweat glands, so the skin is often dry, and the epidermis is easily keratinized and becomes a layer of dead cells.

Therefore, when the snake's body grows to a certain extent, it must shed its keratinized skin and grow new skin. At the same time, the scales have become incomplete after a certain period of wear and tear, and they need to be replaced with new intact scales.

Of course, the most important reason for shedding is because it will affect their lives. If they cannot shed their skin in time, their swollen bodies will be restrained and squeezed by the old snake scales, putting them in danger.

Especially due to cold climate, food shortage, or pregnant snake monsters, they are most threatened.

The molting period is the most dangerous period for snakes. They will become extremely weak. When the old skin falls off, the new snake scales are not tough enough. Their flexibility and vision will decrease, and their strength will be greatly reduced.

It was during the molting stage that the Totem Black Snake was encircled and suppressed by Councilor Zhu Meng, and almost died from the thunder.

"Come and take a look, there is something unusual here!!!"

Qin Damao and Duan Hu were walking in front, but Gu Wei was listless and followed slowly.

The one in the rear was still Xu Huang, who was thinking about how much money he could make after this bloody battle.

He is now heavily in debt. Not only does he have to repay the huge debt of Forging the Nishi Scale, but it also costs nearly 50 million with interest.

In addition, that naughty boy Xu Qing, the Azure-armored Xilong, has eaten Haisai, and now he has eaten the flesh and blood essence of the Silver Moon Blood Python. He is close to the advanced stage, and he has to spend a lot of money to help it advance to the leadership.

This is necessary. A commander-level pseudo-dragon is almost fearless of the combat power of most commander-levels. Even in the dangerous country of the undead, as long as he does not commit suicide, his life is basically safe.

In addition, I also need to prepare the veins of the galaxy now. If I want to attack the high-level mage's barrier, I must make more preparations to be truly prepared.

As for the soul seeds, Xu Huang said that there is no hope for the time being. Treasures worth hundreds of millions are not easily obtained. They are priceless but not marketable. Especially precious natural soul seeds are hard to come by.

The auctioned soul seeds circulating on the market are basically artificial soul seeds. Natural ones are not only rare, but also more expensive, putting them beyond the reach of most high-level mages.

When King Mo Bi was in Venice Water City, he and Astraea spent 850 million on Tyrant Mountain's territory to obtain the Thunder Soul Seed - Tyrant Wild Thunder, which was nearly six times more powerful than mortals.

At that time, I almost lost my life when facing the Mountain Titans and those Thunderfire Griffins, and I also went to explore the Black Dragon Emperor who lived in the cloud-top kingdom of Tyrant Mountain. I'm afraid nothing would be left with one claw.

Xu Huang couldn't afford even the most common artificial soul seed, not to mention the kind of natural soul seed with a domain. He had so many places to spend money that he couldn't afford to save money, so he could only afford it.

"We'll be there soon. You should hurry up and don't wait too long. Your procrastination hasn't changed after so long. I'm drunk too!!"

Duan Hu cursed and dragged Gu Wei, and Qin Damao rushed him forward while Gu Wei struggled and yelled.

"You can't be rough with me just because you are my cousin. I want to go back and tell my aunt!!"

Gu Wei was kicked by Duan Hu again, and then disappeared at the entrance of the tunnel. After Xu Huang reacted, he found that he was alone in the mountain of bones, and he quickly followed him.

"It seems that this Silver Moon Blood Python has not always been sitting in the position. It should have killed Big Brother to take the position, or it is an external competitor. At least it is the ruler of this hill now...

"

Chen Lei and Pu Xun stood in the center of the cave on the top floor, carefully examining the bones of a giant beast as big as a hill.

"If we are not mistaken, this should be a commander-level mountain horned beast, a monster with infinite strength and extremely good at hiding..."

Chen Lei looked up at the mutilated white bones of the giant beast leaning on the cliff. There was a half-broken horn on its huge skull, and the ribs on its body were almost completely shattered.

"Looking at the quality of the bones, when it became the leader, the Silver Moon Blood Python might still be at the warrior level. There are some relatively small snake scales in the bottom cave, and the hardness is not very high. It should be the warrior level.

It was left behind when I was a kid..."

Pu Xun picked up a bone fragment of a mountain horned beast, looked at the color, and then said in a deep voice.

"This looks like it should be the lair of the Silver Moon Blood Python, but it is surrounded only by bones and rocks. This mountain horned beast may be a leader-level demon, but now it only has bones left on its body, which is of little value to us...

"

Duan Hu picked up a silver-gray snake scale that might have been left behind by the Silver Moon Blood Python's last molt, and spoke calmly.

"We have gained a lot originally. We came here just to try our luck. It doesn't matter if we don't get anything good..."

"Let's go down and take a rest. We need to restore our magic energy. Then we will continue to wait until the undead in the rainy night calm down. Then we will continue to hunt those special corpse generals. The commission we accepted still needs to be completed..."

Chen Lei stood on the edge of the cave, looking at the dead giant at the bottom. A small green dot lay on it, which was the sleeping blue-armored Xilong.

"The place we are going to is not too far from Yancun. We can just go to the village. When we get there, we will need to replenish the gray garlic. And I can't wait to meet my brother's grandson. He should learn how to

Call me Grandpa..."

Pu Xun grinned. He had not been back to the village for a while. He wondered how his younger brother, who was the village chief, and his father, who was in poor health, were doing, and how the villagers in that large village were doing...

Xu Huang stayed in a corner, looking at the expectant smile on Pu Xun's face, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for him to ignore...
