The black-backed dragon snake showed a cunning and greedy look, and an ice spear was condensing in its mouth.
It does not hesitate to spend its precious poison, just to hit it with one blow. It will first use the poison to quietly severely damage the enemy, and then kill you while you are weak.
For thousands of years, it has used the same method to assassinate at least hundreds of high-level human monks.
As long as a high-level human monk is accidentally poisoned and there is no help nearby to rescue him, there is an 80% chance that he will die in its hands.
In the core area of Shuofeng Swamp, it is difficult for a single monk who is poisoned to heal his wounds.
Moreover, the black-backed dragon snake will follow its prey until it consumes the prey, taking away its body and resources.
This safe and efficient method is a common trick used by many poisonous beasts, but most poisonous beasts are not poisonous enough, so monks will also prepare detoxifying pills.
Therefore, not all poisonous beasts can successfully kill powerful humans of the same level.
Black-backed dragon snakes are highly venomous monsters, especially because their inherent poison is very terrifying, far beyond the comparison of other poisonous beasts.
In Shuofeng Swamp, no monk is willing to encounter a black-backed snake. If unfortunately he encounters it, he will try to hide away to avoid being plotted by the poison.
The ice spear emits a penetrating fierce light and is getting longer, and the black-backed dragon snake has made final preparations.
Ximen Changqing, who was pretending to be seriously injured, had already felt the strong chill. He could not rely on passive defense. Xuanyang Mountain could resist at any time.
"Fellow human Taoist, your flesh and blood is very strong, which is a great tonic for me. Go and die in peace! Jie Jie Jie!"
The black-backed dragon snake was so proud that it stabbed Ximen Changqing, who was pretending to be unconscious, with the ice spear in its mouth.
"who is it?"
Just when it was triumphantly launching its killer weapon, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a huge sense of crisis made him tremble all over.
"Void Blade!"
The void dolls launched an attack at the same time, piercing the seven-inch weak spot of the black-backed dragon snake.
"Three consecutive critical hits from the spirit!"
Ximen Changqing also quickly deployed the defense of Xuanyang Mountain and used the secret attack technique of the soul to delay the reaction of the black-backed dragon snake.
"Bang bang bang..."
The ice spear did not hurt Ximen Changqing and was successfully stopped.
Ximen Changqing has been preparing, and naturally has enough strength to block the attack.
"hiss……"
When the black-backed dragon snake felt that there was a threat behind it, it immediately tried to avoid it. Unfortunately, its soul was attacked, and its spiritual sea was stinging, and its consciousness was unclear.
By the time it regained consciousness, seven inches had been severed, causing it to be seriously injured in an instant.
"I am not willing to give in, Dragon Scale Shield!"
The black-backed dragon snake was unwilling to die, so it sacrificed its own scales and quickly fled towards the pool.
"Stinky loach, if you still want to escape, this is the place where you will fall!"
"The nine-day star array of destiny, rise!"
Ximen Changqing was already prepared. He circulated his true energy, and suddenly nine lotus seeds in the Dantian space were shot in nine directions around the black-backed snake, surrounding it.
At the same time, the lotus platform followed closely behind, floating above the head of the black-backed dragon snake, forming an even tighter surround for it.
"gravity."
As Ximen Changqing performed it, the hundredfold gravity made it difficult for the black-backed snake's body to move quickly.
"Sea of Fire."
Ximen Changqing continued to circulate his true energy and use his attack methods.
A large blazing flame rushed towards the black-backed dragon snake's scale shield from all directions, burning and making a sizzling sound.
The scale shield was continuously destroyed, and even the body of the black-backed dragon snake was burned by the fire.
"hiss……"
The severely injured black-backed dragon snake was unable to withstand Ximen Changqing's natal formation attack and let out a painful howl, but it did not give up.
"Confinement."
"Thunder Prison."
"Suppression."
Ximen Changqing continued to attack and used more than ten magic weapons to reach the sky. If he didn't kill this black-backed snake, it would cause trouble for the operation two days later.
"Tiantian doll, keep it!"
Before killing the black-backed dragon snake, Ximen Changqing needs to understand the basic situation of Shuofeng Swamp, so he cannot kill it easily yet.
"Yes, Master."
The swallowing doll sacrificed a treasure gourd and put the dying black-backed dragon snake into the treasure gourd.
"You really overestimate your capabilities and dare to take advantage of me."
Ximen Changqing sat cross-legged and tried his best to restore his true energy and spiritual consciousness. In such a dangerous core area of Shuofeng Swamp, he must be very careful and must not be careless.
A few hours later, Ximen Changqing entered the treasure gourd of the Tiantian Doll and saw the black-backed dragon snake that had transformed into an old man.
"Fellow Taoist, spare my life!"
The black-backed snake turned into an old man, looking extremely decadent and pitiful. However, Ximen Changqing was not a sympathetic person, so he had to be killed if he should.
"Mind reading!"
Ximen Changqing didn't want to waste time. The interrogation would probably have no results, so he might as well use his mind-reading skills directly, which was simple and efficient.
With his current level of mind reading, he can read out everything that monks of the same level know.
There really is an ancient monk's cave in the core area of Shuofeng Swamp, and this black-backed dragon snake actually knows about it.
However, this ancient monk's cave is protected by formations and is extremely repulsive to the demon clan, leaving it helpless.
"Since the location of the ancient monk's cave is already known, it is better to strike first. If there are really treasures, they will all belong to the Ximen family."
Ximen Changqing was very happy in his heart. He thought he could explore the ancient monk's cave first and see how to enter it.
According to the memory of the black-backed dragon snake, there are at least five fifth-level demon kings around this ancient monk's cave.
If you want to hide from the five demon kings and quietly open the ancient monk's cave, it is basically impossible. The best way is to kill or drive away these demon kings.
The Tian family must have discovered that there was a demon king next to the ancient monk's cave, so they didn't rush to explore.
I just don’t know if the Tian family has discovered a few demon kings, or if they have discovered all five demon kings.
In Ximen Changqing's view, as long as he passes through the territory of these demon kings, he will be discovered by them. It is very difficult to reach the ancient monk's cave quietly by himself.
However, with the presence of the Void Doll, he could arrive at the ancient monk's cave without anyone noticing, and thus start research on this cave.

If the cave can be opened relatively peacefully, everything will be fine. If the cave is violently bombarded, for example, it will attract the attention of five demon kings.
There are five demon kings near the ancient monk's cave, and there may be other demon kings further away. Once the powerful demon kings come and kill them, the situation will become uncontrollable.
"Stinky loach, you are of no use, you might as well kill it."
Ximen Changqing will not be polite to a demon king who tries to kill him. Killing it can obtain a lot of spiritual materials, which will only be good for Ximen Changqing.
"Fellow Taoist, don't kill me. I am willing to be your slave and will be your slave forever."
The black-backed dragon snake was very cowardly and begged for mercy with a pitiful face.
"You will always be my slave. You are quite good at talking. What you said made my heart move."
Ximen Changqing thought to himself, and felt that it was not impossible to keep it alive. If one day he no longer wanted it, he could just kill it.
"Okay, it's not bad to be my slave. Let go of your consciousness."
Since he wants to recruit slaves, he naturally has to use the most powerful soul to control him. He can make his opponent fall with just one thought. This can make Ximen Changqing feel at ease.
"Is it really going to be like this?"
Looking at the runes drawn by Ximen Changqing with his essence and blood, the black-backed dragon snake became frightened.
"Either die or accept my servitude. Please think carefully."
Ximen Changqing didn't have much patience, so he asked the black-backed dragon snake to make a choice as soon as possible.
The black-backed snake, who did not want to die, naturally had no other choice but to agree to be Ximen Changqing's slave. He was restrained and controlled by the vicious spirit. From then on, his life and death were controlled by Ximen Changqing.
After a complicated ceremony, the black-backed dragon snake officially became Ximen Changqing's slave, and his life and death were completely in his hands.
"From now on, you will be called Hei Bei. This is a healing elixir. Please refine it quickly to heal your injuries. Also, this is a communication spiritual treasure that communicates with others. This is how it is used."
Ximen Changqing's foundation in the true spirit world is too shallow, so it would be good to have a few more slaves, so that he can easily learn about information from all parties.
"Void doll, take me to this place!"
Ximen Changqing told the Void Doll the location and hid in the Nine Heavens Space, letting Void take him there. This way he could avoid being discovered by the five demon kings to the greatest extent.
The void doll turned into nothingness and headed straight for the ancient monk's cave, passing by the territory of two demon kings on the way.
Because he was in a state of nothingness, he did not attract the attention of the two demon kings and successfully entered a small island where the ancient monk's cave was located.
Below the island is the ancient monk's cave. Nothing can be seen from the surface. Only by going underground can you discover this ancient monk's cave.
The ancestor of the Tianjia God Transformation also fought with the Demon King and escaped underground, and accidentally discovered it.
Due to the demon king's restraint, he was unable to open the ancient monk's cave at all, so he could only retreat to his family and prepare to gather stronger forces before exploring the ancient monk's cave.
"What a powerful restriction. It has not weakened after so many years. It seems that the level of this ancient monk's cave is not low!"
Carefully observing the restricted light curtain in front of him, Ximen Changqing lamented that he had encountered a big deal.
There must be good things in this ancient monk's cave, at least it is also the cave of a strong Void Refiner.
Violently opening it will alert the surrounding demon kings and leave very obvious traces.
Therefore, as long as the ban can be successfully broken, violence will not be used.
"At least it's a sixth-level restriction, it's hard to handle!"
Ximen Changqing carefully observed the forbidden light curtain, looking for a breakthrough to break the ban.
In order to save time, after observing for a while, he entered the nine-day space to think, so that he could have more time to think.
"Yes, there must be a spiritual source below, and it is a powerful spiritual source. It is the spiritual source that provides a steady stream of energy that allows the forbidden light curtain to always exist.
If you want to break the restriction, you must first cut off the supply of spiritual sources and make the restriction light curtain ineffective, so that it can be quickly worn away."
Ximen Changqing quickly found a countermeasure and continued to escape, looking for the calculated location of the spiritual source.
After continuing to escape for three thousand feet, Ximen Changqing discovered the spiritual source.
"Sixth-level mid-grade spiritual source, if not for maintaining the restriction, can breed sixth-level mid-grade spiritual veins."
Ximen Changqing was greatly surprised to find such a powerful spiritual source. If this spiritual source was moved away, a sixth-level mid-grade spiritual vein could be cultivated for the family.
However, today's Ximen family does not need such high-end spiritual veins, and fifth-level spiritual veins are enough.
Ximen Changqing took out the formation flag and began to deploy the spirit locking formation. He wanted to completely lock the spirit source so that the energy of the spirit source could not be transported to the forbidden formation.
However, since the spiritual source has become part of the forbidden formation, the deployment of the spiritual locking formation may cause a reaction from the ancient monk's cave.
But this is the only way Ximen Changqing can think of. If this doesn't work, then Ximen Changqing has nothing to do.
"Spirit Locking Formation, rise."
Ximen Changqing activated the formation to direct the energy of the spiritual source elsewhere.
"Rumble..."
As soon as the spirit-locking formation was activated, the entire underground space shook. The movement was so big that the nearby demon kings were probably alarmed.
"It seems like it's impossible to get in without anyone noticing. We need to hurry up."
Ximen Changqing had no choice but to quickly go to the forbidden light curtain and start violent bombardment. As long as he could break through the forbidden light curtain, he could enter the ancient monk's cave.
No matter what kind of treasures there were in this ancient monk's cave, he would go in and take a look.
"Kacha..."
Without the support of Lingyuan, Ximen Changqing took action together with the nine fairy gourd dolls, and soon broke through the restriction and entered the ancient monk's cave.
"The demon king outside could find here at any time, if it weren't for the trap formation."
Ximen Changqing took out the best spiritual stone and deployed a trap formation at the entrance of the ancient monk's cave. As long as the demon king entered, he would be trapped inside.
"Huowa, please leave a few of you to guard the gate of the cave and don't let the Demon King break in."
Ximen Changqing plans to have the treasures of the ancient monk's cave to himself, and does not want the demon king of the swamp to disturb his treasure hunt.
"Master, don't worry, we'll be on guard and no demon king can get in."
Huo Wa and two brothers stayed at the entrance, while the other fairy gourd babies followed Ximen Changqing to explore the ancient monk's cave.
The entrance to the cave is not large, but the interior space is large and the internal passages are intricate. You can gain more by exploring separately.
Ximen Changqing and the six Fairy Gourd Dolls explored separately. At the same time, he also asked Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin to come out to help search for possible treasures here.
Outside the ancient monk's cave, two demon kings met near the island.
"Old Crocodile, what happened here?"
"Old python, I have just arrived. There should be something strange happening in the human cave below."
"Oh, so we may have a chance to enter the human cave, and maybe we can find useful treasures."
The third demon king flew over, showing a little excitement.
"Old toad, you only want good things. Are there any useful treasures in the human cave? Maybe there are any dangers?"
The fourth demon king arrived late.
"Old Snake, if there is a chance to go in, will you go? If not, then we can go in and have a look."
The last demon king also arrived at the island and fell steadily.
"Old Du, you are always the last one to arrive, so slow."
The first giant-toothed crocodile monster king scolded him dissatisfiedly.
"No matter what, we have to go down and have a look."
"That's right, go down and have a look."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The five demon kings immediately escaped underground and planned to explore the ancient monk's cave.
