Chapter 1026

"This old one was originally the deity of this place, but was harmed and has slept here for three thousand years." The voice comes out slowly again, faintly carrying a sense of resentment.

Su Yu is silent for a moment, then he slowly raises his head to look at the silver tree, nods indifferently, and says, "I have come today because I wish to obtain the Sweet Spring water. I was poisoned while inside the Sudden Soul Lamp and must drink the Sweet Spring water to save my life."

Su Yu pauses in his tone and then asks sincerely, "May I ask if the senior knows where the Sweet Spring is? I hope the senior can offer some guidance."

The voice seems to let out two dry laughs and says, "Since you can become the master of the Sudden Soul Lamp, why do you need this old one to guide you? The spring water is not far away; go and take it."

After hearing this, Su Yu nods and says nothing more, walking forward to search for the Sweet Spring. He can use his own strength to obtain the antidote. He has not walked long in the mist-filled forest before he spots a pool of spring water. Just as he happily walks toward it, something cold suddenly crawls slowly up his leg.

A tongue brushes against Su Yu's skin, flicking out; it is a poisonous long snake. Su Yu immediately stands still, while the dagger in his hand is quietly gripped tight. He knows he cannot act rashly now.

The venomous snake crawls slowly from his leg to his neck, its bright yellow eyes locking with Su Yu's. Su Yu remains calm and composed. Just as the snake's eyes are distracted, he grabs its neck with one hand, then smashes its entire body against the ground. Before the snake can recover, he flicks his wrist—hand rises, blade falls.

Fresh blood gushes from beneath the snake, and it is still struggling. Su Yu stabs it a few more times until the snake stops moving, then he stands up and walks toward the Sweet Spring.
