The Thought of Taking on a Spirit Pet

Liu Qingwu plunged into the depths of the mountain stream.

Holding Silver Cauldron and riding Flying Sword, she was enveloped in a layer of defensive light. A Flying Sword flew out from between her eyebrows, clearing the way and transforming into a streak of light as it slashed straight at the massive body of the Chessboard Demon Snake.

The Flying Sword was extremely fast.

With a loud bang, the Flying Sword struck the snake's head squarely, sparks flying from the tip, and barely pierced the snake's scales.

A trickle of blood seeped out.

Enraged by the attack, the Chessboard Demon Snake roared and its massive body suddenly unfurled, shooting towards the tiny human in mid-air like an arrow.

Its body is enormous, with a diameter of two meters and a length of hundreds of meters. When it moves, a foul stench rises and the air vibrates incessantly.

The sound of water roared loudly from inside the Silver Cauldron.

A large expanse of water surged out, sweeping away like a great river.

The Chessboard Demon Snake, its body hardened, forcefully burrowed into the water. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a beam of yellow and green light that pierced through the water and headed straight for Liu Qingwu.

Liu Qingwu dodged and retreated ten feet.

The light fell on the mountain, piercing through and creating a hole the size of a millstone.

"A mid-level level four Demon Beast, truly formidable..."

Standing atop the mountain stream, Chen Changming stared at the ferocious Chessboard Demon Snake, and nodded to himself.

This yellow-green light was not only powerful in its attack, but also highly poisonous, causing many plants to wither and die.

Boom!

Liu Qingwu used her Divine Sense to control the Flying Sword, which once again landed on the head of the Chessboard Demon Snake.

This time the force was greater, enraging the Chessboard Demon Snake even more, causing it to continuously spew out light.

Its massive body used the mountain stream for leverage, climbing continuously, trying to close the distance with Liu Qingwu.

Chen Changming hid to the side, concealing his body in the dense grass and concealing his presence.

Liu Qingwu was skilled in combat techniques. She constantly provoked the Chessboard Demon Snake, luring it out of the mountain stream. Then, she headed west, fighting and fleeing at the same time. The Chessboard Demon Snake, caught in the trap, roared repeatedly and leaped up to chase after Liu Qingwu.

A person and a beast were seen in the distance.

Chen Changming flew away on his sword, soaring into the bottom of the mountain stream and landing beside the Bipolar Flower.

This small black and two-colored flower was so tiny, only about the size of a palm, that its surface shimmered with a shimmering, precious light.

Holding the Geng-Gold Sword, Chen Changming decided to dig up the entire flower along with the soil. Just as he was about to start, he suddenly saw the soil wriggling, and a huge black mouth suddenly appeared. The mouth was terrifyingly large, as if it could swallow the sky and the earth, and was about to swallow the Bipolar Flower along with the soil.

Is there another Demon Beast?

Chen Changming was startled. He hadn't expected that there would be a Demon Beast hidden in the soil, and he hadn't even noticed the Chessboard Demon Snake before. Looking at the big black mouth, he didn't hesitate to tap the ground with his toes, unleashing terrifying power, and thrust his sword at the big black mouth.

With this sword strike, he used the Pure Yang Sword Art.

The blazing Pure Yang Sword Intent was projected from the Geng-Gold Sword, even faster than the Geng-Gold Sword!

Puff!

The Pure Yang Sword Intent pierced the black maw, and the Demon Beast in the mud cried out in pain, its mouth snapping back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Changming waved his hand and put the entire clod of soil, along with the Bipolar Flower, into his Storage Ring.

Upon seeing that the Bipolar Flower had disappeared, the Demon Beast in the soil flew into a rage and suddenly emerged.

Chen Changming quickly stepped back and examined the Demon Beast in front of him.

This Demon Beast was entirely black, with a body like a snake, and about ten feet long.

"A high-level, level three Demon Beast?"

Chen Changming sneered; such a Demon Beast posed no challenge to him whatsoever.

Pfft!

The serpentine Demon Beast suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a large amount of black liquid before burrowing into the soil.

"This is Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm!"

Upon seeing the black liquid, Chen Changming seemed to remember something, and abruptly retreated, avoiding the large-scale attack.

The Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm is an earth-type Demon Beast with potent poison, especially its black liquid. Once it comes into contact with the body, the entire body will be corroded, and even cultivators with defensive shields will be corroded.

A black light appeared from behind, Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm emerged from the soil, launching another sneak attack on Chen Changming.

Boom!

Chen Changming stomped his feet on the ground, generating a terrifying recoil force. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Suddenly, the Geng-Gold Sword in his hand emitted a blazing sun, its light dazzling, piercing through the black liquid. Then, he thrust the sword into the head of the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm.

This sword strike was extremely fierce. Even though the Demon Beast's body was incredibly tough, how could it possibly be a match for Chen Changming, a Body Cultivator?

With a single thrust of the sword into the skull, and a sharp pull, the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm was cleaved in two.

After killing the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm, Chen Changming prepared to leave on his sword when he suddenly noticed that the two halves of the Demon Beast's body were wriggling and moving closer together, seemingly trying to merge.

"This kind of Demon Beast has a remarkably strong vitality..."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Chen Changming's face. There was no doubt that he had severely injured the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm. Even if it could merge with it now, its strength would be far less than before.

His eyes flickered, and the idea of making a contract actually crossed his mind.

He has already contracted with two Demon Beast; it's unclear whether he can contract another one.

Like the Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect, the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm is very good at ambushing and is also highly poisonous. Once a contract is successfully formed, it can become his powerful spirit pet.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Changming put the two pieces of Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm into his Beast Taming Bracelet.

We'll talk about the contract later.

In the distance, the rumbling sounds could still be heard, indicating that Liu Qingwu and the Chessboard Demon Snake were still fighting. Chen Changming flew out of the mountain stream on his sword and slowly flew towards the direction of the battle.

He didn't dare fly too fast, lest the Chessboard Demon Snake return and confront him head-on.

The battle lasted for a full half hour, which was beyond Chen Changming's expectations. Only after there was no more movement did he speed up his flight and finally saw Liu Qingwu in the devastated valley.

At this moment, Liu Qingwu's face was covered with a yellowish-green color, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned. However, the Chessboard Demon Snake in the valley was no longer moving, its body riddled with hundreds of sword wounds, a truly gruesome sight.

Hiss!

Chen Changming also secretly gasped, never expecting the battle to end in a mutually destructive situation.

This is completely different from Liu Qingwu's previous design.

"Senior, you've been poisoned."

Chen Changming ran over quickly, and beams of green light flew into Liu Qingwu's body.

Liu Qingwu caught her breath and explained weakly, "This demonic snake is very cunning. It actually activated a kind of innate mental attack Divine Ability, and I was caught off guard."

Chen Changming didn't speak, but took out the Bipolar Flower.

"Senior, you've been poisoned by two kinds of poison. Will this Bipolar Flower be of any use?"

"It works."

Liu Qingwu's eyes lit up. The spirit herb guarded by the Chessboard Demon Snake could naturally cure its own poison.

This is also the way of mutual generation and restraint in the world.

Generally, herbs that can detoxify grow where a snake has bitten the victim.

Chen Changming brought the Bipolar Flower to Liu Qingwu's lips, and she slowly ate it.

After consuming the Bipolar Flower, Liu Qingwu closed her eyes, waiting for the medicinal effects to dissipate and neutralize the poison.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The color faded from Liu Qingwu's face, and she looked much more energetic. She opened her eyes, swallowed a Healing Pill, and then looked at Chen Changming with gentle eyes, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you can put away your Chessboard Snake Demon. The snake meat is non-toxic and safe to eat."

Thank you, senior.

Chen Changming was overjoyed and walked over to put the Chessboard Demon Snake into his Beast Taming Bracelet.
