Chapter 225: Chapter 50 Sheng Xie’s Supplement_1
Ah Dai did not expect his energy arrow to have such great power. As he was secretly delighted, he was shocked to find the giant snake beginning to writhe violently. Blue blood flowed out incessantly, scattering around. Sheng Xie spewed out several dragon flames in the air, grey energy with great corrosive power attacked the snake’s wound. The snake’s scales were not afraid of corrosion, but the places where it was blown up by the energy arrow couldn’t bear it. With a shrill scream, the snake’s flesh quickly disappeared. Unable to bear the sever pain, the snake suddenly opened its big mouth, a green light flashed, and a fist-sized object, shimmering with dark green aura, suddenly flew towards Sheng Xie in the air. The speed wasn’t very fast, but it was packed with tremendous energy.
Ah Dai was startled, his second energy arrow was already on the bowstring. Just as he was about to aim at the snake’s head, a clear voice rang out, "Don’t kill it yet."
Ah Dai paused; realizing the voice came from his mentor, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, he hurried retracted the bowstring, absorbing back into his body the arrow he had just materialized.
The dark green light ball was about to hit Sheng Xie. Sheng Xie seemed to fear the thing very much, and hurriedly flapped its dragon wings to dodge. A white light flashed, and an extra person appeared in the air. The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang somehow controlled his body to float in mid-air. He glared and shouted, "You monster are seeking your own death!" With a virtual grip of his right hand, the dark green light trembled slightly and suddenly stopped. The giant snake shivered violently, twisted its body strenuously, and the dark green light kept trembling, as if trying to fly back.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang snorted coldly. With a right hand swung in the void, a flicker of silver flashed between the green light group and the giant snake, severing their connection. The giant snake suddenly leaped up from the ground. After rising about three meters, it fell back heavily, rolled a few times and ceased to move. The dark green light floated in the air, its glow gradually dimmed, no longer trembling. Ah Dai, relying on his better-than-average eyesight, could see that it seemed to be a green fruit-like object, now held in the hand of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. Sheng Xie flapped its dragon wings and flew to the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, pointing at that green light in his hand, and appearing salivating.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang laughed and scolded, "You know this is a good thing, don’t you?"
Sheng Xie kept nodding its head, hummed and drooled.
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang knocked on its big head and floated to the big tree where Ah Dai was. Ah Dai was surprised and asked, looking at the green ball in the hand of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, "Mentor, what is this?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang smiled faintly. "When I first came to the Tian Gang Mountains, I had met this ancient snake once before, and it escaped by accident at that time. Did not expect that you would encounter it. This snake has been alive for tens of thousands of years, and by relying on the spiritual energy of the Tian Gang Mountain, it has evolved to this stage, which can be considered impressive. However, this monster has a vicious nature and has consumed countless small animals in the mountain. This is retribution. Ah Dai, your arrow just now was quite good, except that the accuracy was not enough. When you have time in the future, you should practice archery. Long-range attacks can sometimes exert an unexpected power. The defense of this ancient snake is very tough. I didn’t expect your Xuan Iron Bow to have such great power. Combined with your energy arrow, it can blast off a part of its body."
Ah Dai scratched his head, looking a little awkward, "Unfortunately, my archery skill is too poor. Otherwise, maybe I could have eliminated it with one arrow. Mentor, why are you here?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang smiled, "You’ve been gone for so long and I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check. I have not left the top of the mountain in a long time. The air here is really good."
Sheng Xie fluttered in the air around the two of them, its eyes never leaving the dark-green sphere in the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang’s hand.
Ah Dai asked, "Mentor, what is that in your hand? Sheng Xie seems to want it."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang laughed, "This little thing is very clever. This is the inner core of the snake. After eating it, one can become significantly stronger. If you eat it, your strength will greatly improve. It may not be comparable to the rare treasure, the Fruit of Past Life, but it’s not far off. How could Sheng Xie not drool over this?"
Looking at Sheng Xie’s pitiful expression, Ah Dai couldn’t help but say, "Mentor, then give it to it!"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang nodded slightly, "You are a good child, but you are too kind. You can act like this toward your friends, but you must be ruthless when meeting enemies in the future. Do you understand? Being kind to enemies is cruelty to yourself. People are unpredictable!" Having said that, he took a look at Sheng Xie and said, "Well, you are lucky this time. After this, you need to protect Ah Dai well, understand?"
Sheng Xie joyfully roared, the Dragon Roars echoed in the mountains. It excitedly shoved its big head between the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang and Ah Dai. The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang shook his right hand and the inner core of the snake flew towards Sheng Xie, which hurriedly opened its mouth to catch it and swallowed it in one gulp. He knocked on its big head and said, "Get back to the cave quickly while the power of the inner core hasn’t started to act. If you fall asleep here, we’re not going to carry you back."
