After breakfast, Xue Chen stood in the yard, thinking about things. The only thing on the table was the very thin spiritual energy in the plate of scrambled eggs, and there was no other food in it. This meant that the problem was definitely with the eggs, but the problem was
, how can there be spiritual energy in eggs?
In addition to the yard, he walked along the concrete road towards the other end of the village. Along the way, he met many villagers who smiled and greeted him, and he also exchanged pleasantries with each of them.
He stopped when he walked to the door of a house. It was the house of Mr. Yuan who sold eggs. Standing at the door, he could hear the sounds of various livestock and poultry in the yard, including chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and goats.
.
In his impression, Mr. Yuan's family is quite good at breeding. They are the most powerful ones in the whole village. They can raise everything very well, such as raising chickens. A few years ago, there was a chicken plague in the village.
All the chickens in the village were dead, but not one of Mr. Yuan’s chickens was dead.
At that time, villagers also came to ask for advice on breeding techniques, but in the end they didn't ask anything. Mr. Yuan's family just said that they raised the animals with care.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that things were not that simple. There must be another reason, related to the aura in the eggs.
Just as he was standing at the door thinking about something, suddenly a loud voice shouted: "Isn't this Xiaochen? Why are you standing at the door? Come in and sit down."
The person who spoke was none other than Mr. Yuan. Although he was over seventy years old, his body looked good, his complexion was good, his voice was loud, and his eyesight was not blurred and his ears were not deaf. He must have just come down from the mountain, leading an ox cart.
The carts are pulled with grass, which should be used to feed livestock and poultry.
"Second Master Yuan, have you gone up the mountain to cut the grass?"
Xue Chen stared at the green grass at a glance, because he found that there was a trace of spiritual energy emanating from the grass!
Mr. Yuan laughed and said, "Yes, there are so many mouths waiting for food at home, so I went to cut the grass early this morning."
"This grass... looks very good." Xue Chen walked over, picked up a piece of grass from the car, and then looked at Mr. Yuan, "Where was this grass cut from?"
"Hey, let's go from the mountain. Is there any grass left? Are you right? If nothing happens, I'll go in first and won't delay you." Mr. Yuan flicked his whip and drove the cattle into the yard.
Xue Chen also turned around and walked back. Mr. Yuan looked very natural just now, but how could he hide it from his eyes? He still saw some problems. When he talked about grass, Mr. Yuan's tone was a bit...
He became erratic and left in a hurry.
He was able to directly use mind reading to find out something from Mr. Yuan's heart just now, but he didn't do that because he had made a decision and could not use mind reading on the people around him at will, even the villagers.
But it was not difficult for him to know where the grass was cut, because he also had eagle eyes and could see clearly. In his eyes, the marks left by the wheels of the bullock carts on the ground were so clear, guiding the direction.
.
He followed the marks of the wheels all the way out of the village, and then walked along a path. He could see a lot of weeds that had been crushed by the wheels.
In this way, he walked leisurely for almost an hour, and the mark of the wheel stopped here. This is where Mr. Yuan cut the grass.
I looked around, and sure enough, a large area of grass had been cut away.
"It is indeed here!"
As soon as he arrived here, he felt that there was natural spiritual energy surrounding him. It was precisely because of the presence of spiritual energy that the surrounding grass grew so well.
The livestock and poultry of Mr. Yuan's family ate the green grass that absorbed the spiritual energy, so they grew well and did not suffer from the plague.
"Yuan Erye's family probably doesn't know the specific reason, but they definitely know that the grass here is special, so they don't want to tell me." This is also human nature.
"If I remember correctly, this is Crescent Slope?" Because when viewed from a distance, the overall terrain here looks like a crescent, so it is called Crescent Slope.
He walked around, trying to find the reason why there was a trace of spiritual energy here, and finally determined that the problem came from underground!
"Aura comes from the ground!"
After confirming this, he immediately used clairvoyance to penetrate the soil, looking for the source of the aura!
Five meters...ten meters...twenty meters...
When his sight reached 20 meters underground, he could still feel the spiritual energy, which meant that the source of the spiritual energy was still deeper. When he reached the position of 25 meters, suddenly, the soil disappeared and a purple light appeared in front of him.
Just when he was about to look at where the purple light was coming from, he suddenly saw a centipede, a very big centipede!
Centipedes are a very common insect that often appear in humid places. As far as Xue Chen can remember, the largest centipede he has ever seen was less than 20 centimeters. That is already an exaggeration. It is considered the giant among centipedes.
.
However, the centipede that appeared in his sight was much larger. At a rough glance, it was half a meter long and as thick as an adult's arm! What was even more surprising was that this centipede was not the common red or deep purple.
The whole body is light white, as if a layer of frost has condensed.
Just when Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, the centipede that was lying down as if sleeping suddenly moved, then trembled a few more times, and then disappeared with a swish and got into the soil.
.
"It...came up!"
Just when he realized that the centipede was crawling towards the ground, a few meters away, the ground was suddenly lifted, and the light white centipede had come out!
"Oh my God, such a big centipede, could it be that it has become a spirit?"
When he saw this big centipede, Xue Chen, who thought he was very knowledgeable, was shocked and felt unreal.
The large pale white centipede was not crawling on the ground. On the contrary, like a cobra, the front half of its body stood up and made a hissing sound. At the same time, its densely packed feet shook, making people's scalp numb.
"this……"
Xue Chen subconsciously took a step back, suppressing the shock in his heart and raising his vigilance. Judging from the speed of this centipede crawling in the soil just now, it seems that it is really no longer an ordinary centipede. It definitely does not eat very long.
It's that simple.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the white centipede flicked its body and disappeared directly.
"So fast!" A white shadow rushed over like flying.
When he felt that the white centipede was flying towards him, he immediately responded with control and blocked it in front of him.
puff.
The control technique that could easily block armor-piercing sniper bullets was torn open by the white centipede, and continued to fly towards Xue Chen's face. He could even see the white centipede's red eyes clearly.
son.
call!
A large ball of flames spurted out from the tips of Xue Chen's fingers, directly covering the white centipede that rushed towards it.
"squeak!"
After a rapid chirping sound, the white centipede, which was not burned to death, flew out of the flames. It was only one meter away from Xue Chen's face, and it was impossible to avoid it.
"Depend on!"
Subconsciously, he smashed the white centipede with his hand. When it touched the body of the white centipede, it felt as if it had been hit by an iron rod. The white centipede was also hit and sank, without jumping in front of his face.
Instead, it hit his chest.
Snapped!
Xue Chen felt a stabbing pain in his chest, and he inevitably stumbled back. He fell back more than three meters before he stopped. At the same time, he felt a burning pain in his chest. However, before he could catch his breath, the white centipede swooped down again.
Came over.
He was also annoyed, so he pinched a magic formula in his hand. Immediately, a black mist condensed and wrapped the white centipede inside, and finally penetrated directly into the body of the white centipede.
It’s the soul-eating nightmare technique!
"Squeak! Squeak!"
This time, it made a much louder neighing sound than when it was burned by fire. Then, the white centipede that was flying in the air fell directly to the grass.
it works!
Without hesitation, Xue Chen stepped forward. While rejuvenating and strengthening his body, he also used the Dragon Transformation Technique. He stepped on the centipede's head with one kick, using this most primitive method to deal with the insects.
Boom.
There was a muffled sound and mud flew.
The sneakers he was wearing were immediately broken into pieces, and a half-meter-deep hole was created on the ground. The centipede's head was firmly trampled under his feet, and the whole body was twisting violently.
, but soon, he froze and stopped moving.
"died?"
I raised my feet vigilantly and took a look. I saw that the white centipede's entire head had been crushed. It was obviously dead.
Xue Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but also had lingering fears. Fortunately, he was dead. If he didn't die, he seemed to have no choice but to run away. You must know that even a palm-thick steel plate would be broken by his kick just now.
After confirming that the white centipede was dead, he first took a look at his chest. He didn't know what to look at. He was shocked when he saw that his chest was covered in bruises. It wasn't just bruises, it seemed...poisoned! When he saw two tiny
The wound is more certain to be poisoned!
When he felt that his chest began to become numb and it became a little difficult to breathe, he immediately sat down and breathed a lot of rejuvenating breath into his chest. When he saw that the blue and black color continued to become lighter, he breathed a big sigh of relief.
It took a full ten minutes and almost half of the spiritual energy in the spiritual crystal was consumed. Finally, all the abnormal colors on the chest receded, which meant that the poison was gone.
"This poison is really powerful! If I didn't have the rejuvenation technique, I would die here today!"
Xue Chen felt a chill in his heart. He never dreamed that he would almost fall into the hands of an insect in his life.
After standing up, he took another look at the body of the white centipede, thought for a moment, and then threw it directly into the Jade Eye Space.
"There is something in the soil, next to the white centipede!"
He once again looked at the place 25 meters underground. This time, he finally saw clearly what was with the white centipede. (To be continued)
