Shen Luo has never seen Granny Ma look so out of sorts, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Granny Ma, do you know this monster?" Ying Luo saw Granny Ma's expression at this moment, and asked inexplicably panic.
"Of course I know. How could I forget the battle that destroyed my cultivation? This is Beauty Snake's hair!" Granny Ma said coldly, having calmed down his emotions.
"Beauty Snake?" Ying Luo seemed to have thought of something, and his pretty face changed.
The expressions of a few older people among the people around him also changed drastically, but most people still looked confused.
"Guys, what kind of monster is this Beauty Snake in your mouth?" Shen Luo asked.
"This matter started more than 20 years ago. I was still cultivating at that time, and I was guarding the village with another Fasting Stage monk and several Qi Refining Stage juniors. Although the village was poor, it was still stable. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A villager went fishing by the stream and somehow provoked a snake demon with a human head and a snake body. It attacked the village because the demon's head was a beautiful woman. We called it Beauty Snake. This Beauty Snake is very powerful. Another Daoist friend Fasting Stage and I joined forces to fight with him. In the end, the old lady Dantian was damaged, Magic Power was gone, and another fellow Daoist fell and died, but the Beauty Snake was also seriously injured and escaped. Unexpectedly, it is back now." Granny Ma said slowly.
Most of the elderly people present had personally experienced what happened back then. After hearing Granny Ma narrate the past events, they recalled that horrific memory, with frightened expressions on their faces.
"Didn't the monster attacks on the village just start a few years ago?" Green Ox on the side suddenly asked.
"The monsters on the mountain attacking the village have been around since ancient times. Otherwise, there would be no need for monks to be stationed in the village. However, such things were very rare at that time, and often would not happen once in more than ten years. In the past few years, the number of wild beasts on the mountain mutated and suddenly increased." Granny Ma said.
Green Ox nodded suddenly when he heard this and said nothing.
"Granny Ma, what specific cultivation levels did you and another fellow Daoist Fasting Stage have at that time?" Shen Luo looked solemn and asked what he was most concerned about.
"I had just advanced to Fasting Stage at that time. Another Daoist friend's cultivation was deeper than mine, but he was not as good as Mid Grain-Bigug Stage." Granny Ma glanced at Shen Luo and said.
Shen Luo looked slightly relaxed after hearing this.
Although Beauty Snake severely injured two Early Grain-Bigug Stage back then, he himself was also seriously injured, and his cultivation level was at most Mid Grain-Bigug Stage. Even if he recovered from his injuries after so many years, his cultivation level should not have improved, otherwise he would not have done such a sneaky thing.
Although he has just stepped into Fasting Stage, he has opened up a total of twenty Magic Meridian. In terms of Magic Power's strength and spell-casting power, he is no less than an ordinary Mid Grain-Bigug Stage monk.
"Beauty Snake demon has a greedy and cruel temperament. In addition to his previous hatred, he will definitely not give up when he comes back this time. I am afraid that this village will suffer another disaster!" Granny Ma said, with a worried look on his face.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hospital became frightened and uneasy.
"Now that we have determined what caused the trouble and found its escape route, the top priority is to find a way to rescue Chen Guanbao!" Ying Luo said quickly.
"That snake demon is extremely powerful. When the two Fasting Stage immortal masters in the village joined forces, they were no match for it. How could you defeat it if it made the two immortal masters angry? You would have to die in vain." Before Shen Luo could speak, a bald old man next to him stopped him.
"Yes! What will happen to the village if something unfortunate happens to you?" said another middle-aged man.
"Even if the monster wants to practice cultivation and devour it alive, Chen Guanbao has been kidnapped for so long, and it is very likely that it has been poisoned. It is futile for the immortal master to pursue it. It is better to stay in the village and find a way to resist the next attack of the snake monster."
Other villagers also spoke one after another, each with different opinions and did not want the two of them to take risks.
Shen Luo glanced at the surrounding villagers, lowered his eyes, and made no comment.
Ying Luo Seeing the crowd blocking him, he was a little angry at first, but after hearing what they said, he hesitated in his heart.
"Granny Ma, you are well-informed, what should we do about this matter?" She was unsure about paying attention and asked Granny Ma.
Everyone around Granny Ma also looked over.
Since Granny Ma finished explaining the origin of Beauty Snake, just like Shen Luo, he has been standing there quietly, lowering his head in silence, and only raised his head after hearing the words.
"What everyone said makes sense, but in my opinion, Chen Guanbao should still be alive now." Granny Ma said.
"How do you know?" a villager asked blankly.
"Then Beauty Snake must be lurking somewhere near the village to heal, otherwise with its strength, it can definitely destroy the village, and it won't hide like this. Based on my understanding of snake monsters, their constitution is Yin, and devouring children on a full moon day will be the most helpful. Tomorrow is the full moon period." Granny Ma said.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Shen Luo secretly thought that his speculation was indeed correct. If the snake demon had not recovered from his injuries, it would be much easier to deal with it.
"Ying Luo, your strength is too weak. You are far from the opponent of Beauty Snake. You should stay in the village." Granny Ma looked at Ying Luo and said.
"What about Chen Guanbao? Since he is still alive, how can we ignore him?" Ying Luo said urgently.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, among us, you are the only one with strength that can rival that snake demon. I wonder if you are willing to rescue Chen Guanbao?" Granny Ma turned to look at Shen Luo and said.
"Okay, Chen Guanbao was arrested because he brought me food. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have rescued him." Shen Luo said firmly.
"Granny Ma, this is not okay. Master Shen Xian is now also an important combat force in the village. How can you put yourself in danger? You can't just care about your children and ignore the safety of the village." The bald old man said again.
"Yes!" Several people nearby echoed.
"Don't worry, everyone, my old lady has never done anything detrimental to the village. Since I asked Fellow Daoist Shen to go, I will naturally have a way to protect her." Granny Ma looked at the bald old man and the others with sharp eyes.
Shen Luo felt surprised and wondered what Granny Ma meant by this.
The bald old man and others were stared at by Granny Ma, their hearts trembled, and they were speechless.
"Everyone, there is a monster lurking underground here, and it is not safe here. Everyone, please return home and wait for the results." Granny Ma looked around and said slowly, although his voice was not loud, it had an unquestionable majesty.
Everyone around looked at each other and left the small courtyard one after another. Only Ying Luo and Green Ox stayed.
"Ying Luo, Green Ox, you guys should go out first. I have something to tell fellow Daoist Shen." Granny Ma said to Ying Luo again.
Ying Luo hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Luo, turned around and walked out.
Green Ox followed closely and left, leaving only Shen Luo and Granny Ma in the yard.
"Friend Daoist Shen, I am very ashamed to ask you to rescue Chen Guanbao alone this time." Granny Ma sighed.
Shen Luo smiled and said nothing.
Granny Ma put his hand into his arms and took it out quickly. There was a palm-sized silver moon wheel in his hand. The outer edge was bright and sharp, but the inner side was thicker. The whole body exuded a layer of misty silver light, which looked extremely beautiful.
