?Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Arrival Location_1 Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Arrival Location_1 Hearing Xu Fan’s questions, Qin Qinglong nodded, then pointed in a direction and said, “Over there, about four or five miles away, the terrain is a basin, filled with countless demon snakes.
Moreover, those demon snakes are very powerful, their bodies transparent, and they can wield thunder and lightning.
????0.?0
Even I can only deal with a few of them at most.
There must be thousands of those demon snakes; I simply cannot handle them on my own, so I immediately left the area, not daring to stay any longer.”
Remembering the countless demon snakes and their dense array, Qin Qinglong couldn’t help but feel a lingering sense of trepidation.
If he hadn’t been extremely alert, had he accidentally rushed into the midst of the snake swarm, he feared he would have fallen in an instant.
He had personally experienced the strength of these demon snakes.
In fact, he had already made up his mind just a moment ago that, when there was no escape, he would, even if it meant desperately using secret methods, lead those few medicine disciples into the snake swarm to perish together with them.
Qin Qinglong had been able to maintain his position in the Black Blade Organization’s stronghold of Yundian Province, and it was clear he was not someone easily dealt with, possessing the courage to perish together with his enemies.
A thought crossed Xu Fan’s mind, and he asked, “Are you sure it’s a group of demon snakes that can wield thunder and lightning?”
“Yes, that’s right…” Qin Qinglong once again carefully described the demon snakes to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan was overjoyed and said, “It seems they are the Thunderclap Strange Serpents.
Where are they?
Lead me to them now!”
“What…”
Qin Qinglong was stunned for a moment, exclaiming in shock, “Patron Xu, you may not know, but those…
Thunderclap Strange Serpents are incredibly formidable…”
Xu Fan said, “I understand, but they are useful to me.
Just lead the way.”
“This…
Well…
Alright then.” Qin Qinglong felt helpless and could only agree.
However, he thought again that although those beings called Thunderclap Strange Serpents posed a great threat to himself, Xu Fan, after all, was very powerful and might be capable of dealing with them.
Straightaway, they hurriedly made their way, one after the other, toward the location of the Thunderclap Strange Serpents.
On the way, Qin Qinglong presented the hard-won Spirit Grass to Xu Fan, explaining, “This Spirit Grass is what I managed to obtain under the guard of several Thunderclap Strange Serpents, and those people just now were after this very grass.
Although I still don’t know exactly what this herb is or what it does, there’s no doubt it’s a valuable treasure.
Now, I give it to you, Patron Xu.”
Xu Fan glanced at it and said indifferently, “This is indeed a good item, it’s called Spirit Gathering Grass.
You can steam it until it’s cooked, then dry it under the sun.
Grind it into powder and sprinkle it into a bathtub, soak your body in it.
It will improve your physical constitution and enhance the speed of your cultivation, helping you break through your current realm.”
Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Qin Qinglong immediately showed a look of joy.
He had been stuck at his current realm for a long time, and now he had unexpectedly gained the opportunity to make a breakthrough.
Yet, he immediately restrained the reluctance in his heart and said, “If Patron Xu hadn’t come to rescue me in the nick of time, not to mention this Spirit Grass, I fear even my life would have been lost.
Therefore, it is only right and proper for this precious item belong to you, Patron Xu, to enjoy.”
Xu Fan shook his head and said, “No need, it’s of no use to me.
You need it more.
To me, those Thunderclap Strange Serpents are what truly matter.
As long as you lead me to them, you would have done me a great favor.”
Since Xu Fan was so straightforward, Qin Qinglong stopped being pretentious, took back the Spirit Grass, and said, “Patron Xu, not much further ahead, and we’ll be there.”
The two continued forward for a few hundred meters.
As they advanced, Xu Fan’s Divine Sense had already detected the traces of activity from the Thunderclap Strange Serpents.
“Indeed, they are numerous!”
Xu Fan couldn’t help but feel delighted, immediately quickening his pace.
Whoosh…
Xu Fan’s speed became unbelievably fast, akin to lightning, almost instantly covering hundreds of meters.
He saw the Thunderclap Strange Serpent in a depression, where there were many of them, clustered densely, and the sight was enough to make someone’s scalp tingle.
Previously, Qin Qinglong had said there were a few thousand of these Thunderclap Strange Serpents here, but Xu Fan now estimated there to be at most one to two thousand—simply their overlapping bodies made them seem innumerable.
In Xu Fan’s Divine Sense scan, he quickly tallied the exact number: one thousand two hundred eighty-five!
Although the number was not as high as what Qin Qinglong had described, Xu Fan was nonetheless very satisfied with it.
What particularly pleased Xu Fan was that among these serpents, there was actually one whose strength had reached the pinnacle of King-level.
This Thunderclap Strange Serpent was over twenty meters long, coiled in the center like a king, surrounded by flashing lightning, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Besides this King-level peak Thunderclap Strange Serpent, there were also several dozen others above the King Realm.
The rest of the Thunderclap Strange Serpents had also basically surpassed the Grandmaster level.
Good, very good!
Xu Fan couldn’t help but get excited; even if just for these Thunderclap Strange Serpents, his trip here had not been in vain.
However, just as Xu Fan was preparing to act, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of energy from the left, and the previously tranquil group of Thunderclap Strange Serpents suddenly became restless.
Xu Fan turned his head and saw a swordsman rapidly approaching from the left, his back carrying a sword.
The swordsman stopped dozens of meters away and then looked towards Xu Fan.
“It’s him?” Xu Fan recognized the man at a glance—it was Shen Jianting, the one who had previously clashed with Luo Xiong.
After all, Shen Jianting’s appearance was too distinctive and almost impossible to forget.
Upon seeing Xu Fan, Shen Jianting’s heart skipped a beat, and he became tense.
Damn, isn’t that Xu Fan?
What’s he doing here?
To think that even Dongxu powerhouses were no match for this guy.
But how did he get permission from the Ancient Giant Crocodile to enter the ruins?
Could it be that the rules don’t apply anymore?
In a mere moment, all sorts of thoughts flashed through Shen Jianting’s mind, his expression fluctuating.
Anyone in Shen Jianting’s current predicament would undoubtedly feel utterly frustrated.
“Patron Xu…”
Only then did Qin Qinglong finally manage to hurriedly catch up from behind; he saw Shen Jianting not far away and was immediately taken aback: “It’s actually you?”
Of course, he knew Shen Jianting, after all, this was a figure with a name on the List of Heroes.
