Chapter 159: A Single Word

Lao Hei pondered for a moment: "It's possible, it might just be a large snake."

Even though Lao Hei is a Great Heavenly Venerable, he has never seen a monster.

In their Wu Kingdom, they have also conducted many experiments.

However, ordinary animals are simply unable to practice Immortal Cultivation, nor can they achieve Awakening of intelligence, let alone transform into spirits.

In the end, the Wu Kingdom concluded that monsters might appear in worlds with higher energy levels.

And this world is clearly at a lower energy level than the world where the Wu Kingdom is located; even practitioners of Immortal Cultivation cannot appear here, let alone so-called monsters.

At this moment, Ling Jin suddenly remembered his grandmother's words.

"Do you think the hint the ancestor gave Grandmother could be true? That there is a blessing of spirit here, which is why such a huge snake appeared?"

"Unless your ancestor is still alive," Lao Hei chuckled.

"Sigh, I'll go to the Heishui Mountain Range again tomorrow to see if there are any new discoveries."

……

"I'm going to sleep, good night."

Qi Xueyan, dressed in cool attire, hung up the video call.

Lin Chao stretched, his gaze calm.

"Heishui Mountain, it seems quite a few people have gone there."

"And, it seems some changes have occurred."

"There are only four days left until the Transcendence Fragment fully matures; I wonder what it will brew into."

Lin Chao pondered, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

At this moment, a message from Chen Longxuan suddenly came through.

"Holy crap Lin Chao, didn't I go to Heishui Mountain? I saw a large snake today, an especially big one!"

"Is that so?"

"I suspect there really are Supernatural creatures in Heishui Mountain!"

Chen Longxuan chatted with Lin Chao for a few words, then went to chat with Zhang Yiming again.

Lin Chao's gaze remained calm.

It seems it is time to take a trip to the Heishui Mountain Range.

……

The next day.

Xia Junji frowned.

The changes from yesterday made him attach even more importance to the Heishui Mountain Range.

Several more members of their team had arrived.

"How is it?" Xia Junji asked.

"Through drones, we discovered that the animals in the Heishui Mountain Range seem to have undergone some changes; they are all running toward the main peak of the Heishui Mountain Range, Heilong Peak."

A woman said softly, handing a tablet computer to Xia Junji.

On the tablet, there were some videos and pictures.

In the videos, many animals were in groups, all running toward one place.

There were rabbits, foxes, and even hedgehogs.

These animals, at this moment, seemed to have no concept of natural enemies, all running toward Heilong Peak together.

Xia Junji looked over, frowning: "It seems this Heishui Mountain Range is indeed unusual."

Generally speaking, animals rarely exhibit this kind of situation.

"Should we...?" A hint of excitement also appeared on the woman's face.

"Let's prioritize observation and data collection for now." Xia Junji remembered the Flying Sword in the lake that day and finally made this decision.

Regarding the Supernatural, they know too little.

Regarding the unknown, Xia Junji has always maintained a sense of awe.

However, thinking of something, Xia Junji muttered to himself: "The blessing of spirit..."

The reason they came to Heishui Mountain was because of that person from the Feng Clan.

Xia Junji had also crammed on the legends of the Feng Clan.

"If this is truly a blessing of spirit, is it possible that it is also our opportunity?"

……

"The Heishui Mountain Range seems to have undergone changes." Chen Longxuan looked excited.

"Yes, some villagers said that today they saw many animals in Heishui Mountain, and they all seem to be running toward the main peak, Heilong Peak," Ling Jin added from the side.

"Heilong Peak, could there be treasures appearing?"

The old woman's gaze was devout: "This is a blessing of spirit!"

Beside her, Li Xiang smiled: "..."

She did not say anything more.

"Let's go into the mountains together!" At this moment, the old woman of the Feng Clan suddenly spoke, her voice carrying an unquestionable tone.

Ling Jin hesitated for a moment, thinking of Lao Hei: "Okay."

Li Xiang still wanted to persuade them otherwise.

But seeing that the old woman was also that kind of stubborn person, she did not say anything more.

However, Xia Junji, who was nearby, spoke up: "There is heavy rain today, it is not suitable to enter the mountains."

The group then gave up the idea of entering the mountains.

Sure enough, not long after, a heavy rain descended upon the Heishui Mountain Range.

Within the Heishui Mountain Range, at Heilong Peak, a multitude of animals were gathered at this moment.

Those that fly in the sky, those that run on the ground, and those that burrow in the earth had all appeared at Heilong Peak.

These animals seemed to possess intelligence; they all waited at the foot of the mountain, and at this time, the concept of natural predators no longer existed for them.

Their eyes even revealed a look of piety as they gazed toward the summit.

However, not a single animal dared to move upward.

Just then, a rustling sound came, and a massive snake, a full twenty meters long, appeared.

The animals present, upon seeing this large snake, all revealed looks of fear and made way for it.

The large snake's gaze was pious; it looked at the summit, its eyes carrying a hint of hesitation.

Suddenly, this large snake actually flew up and charged toward the peak.

Boom!

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder descended from the sky and struck the large snake's body.

The large snake's massive body immediately developed a large patch of electrical burns, its flesh charred black.

This large snake was also knocked out of the air by the lightning, falling heavily to the ground and emitting a vibrating sound.

Not far away, Lin Chao watched this scene, lost in thought.

"A demon?"

Lin Chao smiled.

To tell the truth, apart from the butterfly bird, he had never seen a demon.

However, the butterfly bird did not look like a demon either.

After all, the butterfly bird could take on many different appearances and states.

For the last two years, the butterfly bird had lived with Lin Chao in the form of a human.

And Lin Chao had also discovered that the butterfly bird's physical structure was no different from a human's.

It seemed that it was not a transformation, but rather that it was born that way.

Before his eyes, this large snake was rather strange.

"Could it be that a Transcendence Fragment created a demon?"

"Or rather, have demons awakened?"

As Lin Chao muttered to himself, in the mysterious depths of the world, something seemed to have changed between heaven and earth.

All the animals on Heilong Peak suddenly prostrated themselves on the ground at this moment, uniform and orderly; the scene was extremely shocking.

They were like humans, seemingly kowtowing to some existence.

Lin Chao watched this scene, a flash of Gold light passing through his eyes.

Outside the Heishui Mountain Range, in the village town.

Chen Longxuan suddenly shouted: "A dragon! A dragon!"

He held up his phone, waving it continuously.

"What?" Ling Jin and the others were attracted by Chen Longxuan's shouting.

Chen Longxuan immediately took out his phone.

In the phone, a long figure could be vaguely seen, soaring into the air before being struck down by lightning.

"Isn't this the large snake we saw? It can fly?" Pangzi took a deep breath.

Through the footage on the phone, they could vaguely see the outline of a large snake.

However, because the resolution was not high, they could not see it clearly.

But it was enough to shock the heart.

"I went out for a stroll just now and saw a dragon flying in the sky on the hillside, and it got struck by lightning, so I quickly filmed it.

That large snake, could it be about to transform into a flood dragon?" Chen Longxuan's expression was excited.

This discovery made him incredibly excited.

At this time, Li Xiang, who was beside him, also saw the image on Chen Longxuan's phone: "You aren't seeing things, are you? This black shadow looks more like the wind blowing some tree branches into the sky."

Chen Longxuan shook his head quickly: "I wouldn't see things, it really was that large snake!"

Li Xiang did not argue further; she wore a smile on her face: "Tomorrow, when the rain stops, we can see for ourselves whether or not a large snake transforming into a flood dragon exists."

PS: I think it's better to start a new dungeon quickly; I haven't written in the Main World for too long and feel like I've lost my train of thought.
