Chapter 1227 Snake demon smelted by dragon
"How is this going......"
Chen Xuan felt very, very shocked. Seeing Venerable Shenmu's hand disappear before his eyes, Chen Xuan subconsciously walked forward, trying to pull Venerable Shenmu back.
Fortunately, Venerable Shenmu himself stretched out his hand.
It is also very strange that after Venerable Shenmu stretched out his hand, his hand recovered within an instant.
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Isn't it strange?"
Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu and nodded, saying: "It's so strange. What on earth is this..."
Halfway through the question, Chen Xuan suddenly stopped again.
Because he already had an answer to his question in his heart.
That is, as long as Venerable Shenmu leaves the Shenmu Forest, he will disappear into this forest just like Venerable Shenmu's hand just now.
"It's exactly what you thought."
Venerable Shenmu said calmly.
"The forest has brought me a lot, and it has given me a lot of spiritual power, but I have my duty, and I have to guard this forest until I die.
If I leave this place midway, I will become what my hand looked like just now and completely disappear from this world.
If I die, there will still be a skeleton left behind."
He spoke calmly, and Chen Xuan listened quietly. This was the first time that Chen Xuan felt helpless.
"Then you have been planting trees here because you want to expand the area of this forest and then go to the human world to have a look?"
Hearing this, Venerable Shenmu nodded and said, "Yes, I think there is probably no one who doesn't want to go and have a good look at the outside world."
As he spoke, Venerable Shenmu looked at a place with no trees not far away, his eyes full of yearning.
"How many years have you been planting trees?" Chen Xuan asked Venerable Shenmu.
"About ten thousand years."
"How much has the area expanded in the past 10,000 years?"
"I don't know, and I haven't measured it, but I know that the big mountain on the other side of the forest is already a little closer."
There is indeed a very big mountain on the opposite side of the forest, but it is really far away.
Although it is said that if Chen Xuan wants to go to the mountain, he only needs half a cup of tea, but if Venerable Shenmu wants to go to the other side of the mountain, it will probably take tens of thousands of years.
But in this realm, reaching the place where humans live, there is more than just one mountain.
Although Chen Xuan was not in it, he could feel the deep despair inside.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu, his eyes full of pity.
After Venerable Shenmu saw Chen Xuan's eyes, he looked at Chen Xuando and said, "Don't have mercy on me. Although I seem to be pitiful, I'm actually pretty good.
I am willing to guard the forest here, but in my boring days, I also want to go and see the outside world."
Hearing Venerable Shenmu's words, Chen Xuan pursed his lips, but he didn't know what to say.
"When you went to fight against the Hydra demon, I actually watched the whole process. After all, that place was the only place where I could contact the humans outside.
When I saw you at that time, I actually didn't think you could win, and I wanted to remind you so that you could leave quickly."
As he spoke, Venerable Shenmu gave a faint smile and said: "After all, your appearance is rare and handsome, and your cultivation strength is indeed good. Anyway, as your senior, I still pity the talent.
But when you faced so many more powerful enemies than you, you were not afraid at all. In fact, at that time, I not only wanted to see you fight against the Hydra demon, but also wanted you to leave as soon as possible."
"But you finally watched my duel?"
Hearing this, Venerable Shenmu shook his head, with some guilt appearing on his face for some unknown reason.
"There was a sudden fire in another part of the forest, and I went to put out the fire."
Chen Xuan: "...Why did the forest suddenly catch fire?"
Venerable Shenmu sighed and said: "Who knows? However, forest fires are common. In areas near the periphery, the forests are drier. When the weather is dry, it is easier to catch fire.
"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded, also expressing his understanding.
"I originally wanted to ask you to leave and then go put out the fire, but you also know that the fire was fierce. If I had been a little late, the damage caused to the forest would be immeasurable, so I left first.
By the time I came back, you had already fought with the Hydra demon. Originally, I wanted to help you escape, but if I helped you escape, the Hydra demon would not make it easy for the surrounding creatures, so
I was also very confused at that time.”
Hearing what Venerable Shenmu said, Chen Xuan thought about it and looked at him with a frown, and asked: "If I guessed correctly, your cultivation level should be higher than that of the Hydra Demon, right? Why don't you
Go and subdue him?"
Hearing this, Venerable Shenmu also sighed and said: "I am the patron saint of this forest, how could I harm the creatures in this forest?
If I do this, I will probably be punished, and to be honest, the Hydra is a rather special existence in the sacred forest."
"Oh?" Chen Xuan was puzzled, "How is it so special?"
At that time, Chen Xuan actually still didn't know the true origin of the Hydra demon, so when facing Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan was quite curious.
Of course, Chen Xuan also wanted to know the origin of this hydra demon.
He just knew that the Hydra demon seemed to be left here by an immortal, but to be honest, the appearance of this Hydra demon and other circumstances made Chen Xuan feel unusual.
Moreover, the strength of the Hydra Demon is indeed very, very extraordinary.
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan and said, "You have annihilated the Hydra demon, but you don't even know the story of the Hydra demon?"
Chen Xuan frowned and said, "I really don't know. Is there any inevitable connection between this and me defeating him?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily that there is a connection, but what I don't understand is that you came to challenge the Hydra demon, and you didn't investigate the origin of the Hydra demon before you came.
It actually surprised me.”
Chen Xuan shrugged and said disapprovingly: "How does this matter? The final result is not the same."
If Chen Xuan had not defeated the Hydra demon before, Chen Xuan would not have been able to say these words.
Because before, Chen Xuan really didn't even know whether he could defeat the Hydra demon.
But now that Chen Xuan has annihilated the Hydra demon, it is very natural to say this.
Venerable Shenmu, who was looking at Chen Xuan here, clicked his tongue twice and said, "It seems that I actually underestimated you before? You are actually more arrogant than when I came into contact with you before."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and said: "I am not arrogant. I am telling the truth within the scope of my ability. You yourself know that I did defeat the Hydra demon. What I said,
Is there anything wrong?"
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Venerable Shenmu smiled on his face and said, "What you said seems to make sense."
Chen Xuan also smiled and said: "Of course."
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he asked Venerable Shenmu: "What is the origin of the nine-headed snake demon?"
"He is actually an ancient immortal. I have forgotten his name. He was a creature specially developed to protect the pitcher plant."
Chen Xuan nodded and said: "There's nothing strange about this, right? After all, weren't there many people like this before?"
Venerable Shenmu nodded and said: "It is true that this incident is not unusual on the whole, but the structure of this nine-headed snake demon is indeed extraordinary."
"You should also be able to feel that the Hydra demon is really extraordinary, right?"
Chen Xuan pursed his lips and said: "It is true, the strength is indeed strong."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan lifted his arm that had been seriously injured before, and then said: "If it were not strong enough, it would be impossible to injure my arm like this."
This is because the Hydra is actually not a complete body, they are a creature that is the fusion of eight snakes and a dragon."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Venerable Shenmu, then frowned, "What did you say?"
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan and said, "I feel that everyone who comes to challenge the Hydra demon knows this. Why don't you know?"
Venerable Shenmu was really puzzled by this point, "You don't even know the basic knowledge about the Hydra demon and yet you came to find this Hydra demon to challenge you. You are also a real warrior."
Chen Xuan frowned, remembering the pair of small horns on the leader's head, and suddenly understood something.
He just said, why do snakes have horns on their heads?
And if you carefully recall the appearance of the Hydra monster, you will see that it is indeed different from ordinary snakes.
He has scales on his body!
Chen Xuan suddenly thought of this thing.
When Chen Xuan discovered this, he really didn't think much about it. He just thought it was because the snake had evolved.
Not thinking too much led to Chen Xuan's current ignorance.
He looked at Venerable Shenmu in shock and asked, "How did the snake and the dragon merge into one whole body?"
Hearing this, Venerable Shenmu pursed his lips and said, "Actually, they are not yet a whole. Have you ever had a conversation with them? Sometimes they have their own thoughts, and sometimes they are a whole.
This is not actually a failure, as it can be seen from the fact that no one has been able to defeat the Hydra demon for so many years."
Chen Xuan actually had many doubts in his heart.
"Who is that immortal?" Chen Xuan asked Venerable Shenmu.
But Venerable Shenmu didn't say who came up.
"I'm not sure about this either. After all, how old I am and how many years ago these creatures were."
Chen Xuan once again recalled the scene of the previous battle with the Hydra monster in his mind. Recalling the appearance of the Hydra monster, he said, a mere snake, at most a strange snake, how could it be so powerful.
"In all these years, haven't there been people with absolutely high levels of cultivation to subdue the Hydra demon?"
Venerable Shenmu waved his hand and said: "Who will come over to conquer this thing? Those who have high cultivation level will look down on a spiritual cage plant. Only those whose cultivation strength is not as strong as the Hydra Demon.
Will take a liking to the pitcher plant."
As he spoke, Venerable Shenmu curled his lips and said: "My current cultivation strength is not as good as the Lingcage Grass."
This made Chen Xuan even more confused.
He frowned and looked at Venerable Shenmu and said, "This god is also strange."
"Why is it weird?"
"Why should you let such a neither up to nor down monster guard this neither up to nor down treasure?"
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Have you ever felt that there are some problems with the sentences in your words?"
"what is the problem?"
"It is because these two things are of equal strength that they are arranged like this. Moreover, many people in this world who are highly skilled in cultivation do not look down on the spiritual power of the Spirit Cage. However, those who are not very strong in cultivation are in great need of it.
The spiritual power of the pitcher plant.
That’s why you always want to challenge the Hydra demon. Although I don’t know why you want to challenge the Hydra demon, but I feel that you are probably also doing it for the spirit cage plant, right?"
Chen Xuan was at a loss for words. Although he said that the cultivation strength was not as strong as those who had strong cultivation ability as mentioned by the Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan was really not doing it for the Lingcage Grass.
A piece of grass like that is nothing to Chen Xuan.
In Chen Xuan's eyes, even if it were put in front of Chen Xuan's eyes, Chen Xuan would not pick it.
Chen Xuan himself didn't know why he had to challenge this hydra demon.
Up to that time, the system had asked Chen Xuan to challenge him, but apart from his injuries, Chen Xuan did not get anything useful from the challenge.
Not only that, Chen Xuan had to stay in this place and plant five hundred trees before he could leave.
Forget it, at this time, after Chen Xuan knew the suffering of Lord Shenmu, he really wanted to help Lord Shenmu.
But Chen Xuan really didn't understand the challenge this system had set for him.
After looking at Lord Mu, Chen Xuan sighed and thought, forget it, don't worry about anything. Without this challenge, Chen Xuan would not have met Lord Shenmu.
After meeting Venerable Shenmu, although Chen Xuan had not gained anything from Venerable Shenmu at that time, Chen Xuan also had some feelings while getting along with Venerable Shenmu.
Pursing his lips and looking at Lord Shenmu, Chen Xuandao said: "If you think so, just treat it like this."
After Chen Xuan defeated the hydra demon, the system automatically received the cage plant into his backpack, but Chen Xuan never wanted to see the cage plant because Chen Xuan hated this thing in his heart.
After all, it was because of this incident that Chen Xuan suffered such serious injuries.
"But I really think you will be able to do great things in the future. I haven't seen someone as powerful as you for a long, long time."
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan and said.
When Chen Xuan heard this, he glanced at Lord Mu and said, "What he said is the same as how many people you have met before."
Venerable Shenmu clicked his tongue and said: "Okay, let me change it. You are the most powerful person among all the people I have met before."
After speaking, Venerable Shenmu raised his hand again and said: "No, in terms of strength alone, you are not the most powerful person, but you are indeed the first person who made me feel powerful."
After hearing this, Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu and suddenly laughed.
"Well, with your good words, I hope I can accomplish great things in this world."
At this time, Chen Xuan had actually made quite a difference in the world. Chen Xuan had power in many realms, but Chen Xuan was not very well-known in the world.
And during the period of time when Chen Xuan was recuperating in the sacred forest, Chen Xuan indeed became famous in the whole world.
The legend of Chen Xuan is spreading throughout the world.
It's just that this famous protagonist at that time never appeared in the world.
Just when everyone thought that Chen Xuan had exchanged one life for another, Chen Xuan appeared in the world again.
At that time, Chen Xuan had no idea about his sudden fame in the world.
After he found out about it later, he actually felt that it was the fame that Chen Xuan deserved. After all, it was not easy to fight against the Hydra demon at that time.
Venerable Shenmu's information about the outside world only exists in books, and sometimes people go into the forest.
When he is bored, Venerable Shenmu will go to see if there are any hunters in the forest. Venerable Shenmu will also purchase some books, of course from those who come to the Shenmu Forest.
However, Venerable Shenmu does not have spiritual stones, so he exchanges them for items of equal value.
Including the things raised in his farm, they are all replaced.
There is no need for it now. He already has a lot of food and can’t finish it.
After learning about Venerable Shenmu's difficulties, Chen Xuan was helpless.
Looking at the endless wilderness in front of him, it was really hard for him to imagine how long it would take Venerable Shenmu to reach the human world.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt full of helplessness.
Feeling that Chen Xuan's expression was different again, Venerable Shenmu patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, don't feel sorry for me, I just have such hope in life, maybe I will be able to reach the shore some time"
It’s over.”
It sounds easy, but who can reach the shore easily?
Moreover, Chen Xuan also knew very well how difficult this matter was, so he looked at Venerable Shenmu with such an expression.
However, Venerable Shenmu seems to be very open-minded and will not feel sad just because he cannot reach the shore.
But Chen Xuan couldn't find out what Venerable Shenmu was actually feeling.
Chen Xuan's ability to pry into other people's psychology is of no use to some special people.
Lord Shenmu is the power of the forest, so naturally Chen Xuan cannot spy on him.
But Chen Xuan knew that Venerable Shenmu was not that happy anyway.
