"If the records are correct, be cautious of the underground." One Sword reminded.
His gaze just fell into the distance.
Eight Heavens Freedom suddenly jumped up, "Be careful, it’s coming."
At the sa ti, he swung his pure tal long sword, slicing through a gray snake erging from the ground.
His sword was exceptional.
Moreover, it was evident from their skills that they were truly experienced.
Almost as soon as the sound arose, others began to dodge.
They were actually able to predict the ergence of the gray snake from underground.
Upon being attacked, the group was instead delighted.
"It’s an Evil Earth Poison Fang Snake!"
"Just like the records, these years have brought no change."
"Uncle, spread the dicine."
Though uncommanded, the oldest vice president, Eight Days of Leisure, had already scattered the powder on the ground.
The powder dissolved upon contact with water, emitting a peculiar odor that wasn’t necessarily unpleasant.
Yet these Evil Earth Poison Fang Snakes fled in panic, not daring to approach.
Noticing this, the group smiled.
Effective is good.
Years of preparation had not been in vain.
Clearly, the na Evil Earth Poison Fang Snake is more formidable than the term gray snake used by Small Knife.
"Since the Evil Earth Poison Fang Snake has appeared, other information is probably accurate too. Let’s consu the dicine."
The group imdiately swallowed the dicinal powder, quickly breaking into sweat and emitting a strange sll.
This stuff was evidently effective, specifically tailored against most snake species, but its side effects were obvious, attracting beasts sensitive to odor, making it impractical.
Beautiful Woman Snake
The environnt here is ideal.
"Hurry, we must find it first. This is our only chance." Nine Heavens One Sword stated firmly.
Everyone’s expressions were heavy, as if pressed by a huge stone.
All because of that mysterious first player during the test?
Directly using a Great Witch Artifact? Attack power at the Immortal Master level.
Undoubtedly, more ans are at play. The four top experts, crafted from the majority of Nine Heavens Guild’s resources, had also besieged an Immortal Master, yet it remains difficult to match, only by seizing it first, can this be the sole opportunity.
"Don’t be too disappointed. This place is unchanged just like the records, and we have the map. As long as we find it first, victory is certain." Leisure encouraged with a smile.
"Right! After years of preparation, we won’t lose with our ancestor’s hopes." other mbers resolutely declared.
They then determined the direction and set off.
First, find the highest point to spot any significant landmark on the map, and target identification can be established.
"Ah, what’s that?" Eight Days of Leisure looked up, witnessing an incredible scene, instantly stunned.
Others also looked up.
Could it be? Everyone saw it; no illusion.
In the far-off sky, unexpectedly, a wooden flying ship ascended to the heavens.
"That early test player?" One Sword gritted his teeth and said.
At this mont, insulting intelligence by ntioning so first test player is unnecessary.
"Could he already be an Immortal Master?"
"A flying ship, Immortal Master’s ans; mortal True Qi alone is insufficient to power, energy level is too low with excessive consumption."
Better to say, a typical Immortal Master can’t even afford a flying ship.
No, the vast majority of Immortal Masters could never own a flying ship.
If one could afford it, wouldn’t they also be equipped with plenty of talismans and artifacts?
"Already an Immortal Master? Has Spirit Root, yet competes with us? How shaless!"
"Regardless! We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."
Indeed, at any cost, now that we are here, we are fully prepared."
"Depart!"
The group set off with firm resolve.
Small Knife flew into the air, easily taking in the underground space. Even with a map, seeing with one’s eyes made it far smaller than imagined; the small lake in the center was the destination.
All the landmark structures on the map were within view.
So, the disguised flying ship descended again.
This ti Small Knife directly dismissed the Witch Residence, steering the flying ship toward the target.
Since there were outside red-nad players competing, there was no ti to waste killing monsters.
The flying ship smoothly arrived at the lakeside, and the air felt noticeably fresher.
Inhaling deeply instinctively, every pore seed to sigh in comfort.
The Eye of Investigation indicated: Pure Water Spiritual Power found nearby, suggesting the presence of a Spiritual Object. Please be cautious.
"Seizing creation from heaven and earth! Worthy of nurturing Spirit Root Spiritual Objects, affecting a vast surrounding environnt. Unfortunately, I’m not knowledgeable enough to determine its type, so please be careful. Such Spiritual Objects generally have companion demon beasts guarding them."
The Little Cultivator spoke up.
After hesitating briefly, he continued: "Under normal circumstances, a guardian of this level of Spiritual Object would at least be a demon beast, not an ordinary demon beast. Low-level Immortal Masters are no match, nor can we handle it, though being this close, it should have been alerted?"
Small Knife didn’t say much. The disguised flying ship had circled the small lake and small hills before finally descending slowly beside the shore, right next to the mountain.
The lake was beside the mountain, and a cave was in front of the mountain. According to the map, the Spiritual Object was inside the cave.
Extending a hand, the Witch Residence flew out, landing at the cave entrance, rapidly expanding.
After giving a few instructions, he left with the Totem Pole.
Staring at the cave’s invisible interior, Small Knife reached out, scattering a mixture of iron powder and Secret Bone Powder.
An eighty-level Fierce Beast Bone Wolf ford.
Witch Bone Resurrection Skill.
Without pausing, he continued scattering.
Soon, Small Knife felt sowhat overexerted.
Hurriedly swallowing an Earth Grade Blood Qi Pill.
But it was worth it, as three eighty-level Fierce Beast Bone Wolves appeared.
Under Small Knife’s arrangent, they moved slowly towards the cave entrance, two in front and one behind.
Small Knife followed cautiously, ready to use the Great Witch Artifact at any mont.
The Little Cultivator didn’t hesitate, following behind.
He held no confidence in the upcoming action but knew that such a Spirit Root-enhancing Spiritual Object, with its accompanying demon beasts, would be imnsely powerful; how could they possibly handle it?
But he couldn’t resist, only follow.
All the way forward, there was no attack.
After just ten seconds of walking, the view opened up beautifully.
The Eye of Investigation: Spiritual Object detected, energy response intense.
Warning, warning, demon Qi detected, demon Qi detected. Suspect demon beast, please leave quickly, leave quickly.
A re hundreds of ters away, a pool of water, like a gemstone, filled with green, algae-like plants, dense like artworks.
However, what captivated Small Knife’s gaze was the small water-blue flower on the edge of the shallow pool.
As if by instinct, he felt his body’s desire with certainty; that was undoubtedly the Spirit Root-nurturing Spiritual Object.
Nonetheless, Small Knife first shifted focus, looking at the massive figure lying beside it.
Undoubtedly, it was a giant gray snake, similar in size to a hundred-level gray snake but covered in scales, similar to water waves, pretty and greatly enhancing its appearance.
Its true boost in appearance, however, was that this snake had a woman’s head, gazing at Small Knife with gentle eyes.
Too beautiful.
"Ha ha! So that’s it." The Little Cultivator exhaled a breath; he had prepared to sacrifice himself, but now it seed unnecessary.
Suddenly, his face changed, abruptly pulling Small Knife.
The trembling Small Knife, walking forward, sobered up.
Just then, he unknowingly pressed forward, mind filled with the woman’s soft, watery gaze.
Cold sweat imdiately broke out.
Looking again, was that a woman’s head? Just a snake’s head.
Small Knife already dared not et its gaze.
"Her charm isn’t strong, only effective on mortals, but remain cautious and you’ll be fine. It’s those scales, though—likely manifesting the Divine Techniques evolving her into a demon beast. Look closely, you’ll see the patterns on the scales—innate Spirit Pattern, essential for top-grade talismans progressing to magical artifacts." The Little Cultivator comforted and explained nearby.
"This Companion Demon Snake has significant potential, yet confined. Handling her, a Xinjin Sword Qi would be sufficient. I suggest I act to prevent her from perishing together, harming the Spiritual Object." The Little Cultivator suggested earnestly.
Only then did Small Knife notice that the Snake Demon’s forehead had a thin water-blue chain embedded into it—secured.
