The purple Law Power washed over his body several times, but Zhang Xuezhou felt that the symptoms caused by Ding Kui had not been relieved and even tended to worsen.

Through the windshield, he scanned the mountainous area where the snake cave was located, occasionally pointing out directions to find the nearest spot where the heavy trucks were parked, hoping everything would go smoothly so he could harvest a large amount of medicine from the snake cave.

If one cannot reach the Seventh Sequence and possess a resistance layer, appropriately promoting physical body techniques can obviously reduce deficiencies in physical strength.

Zhang Xuezhou also pinned his hopes on the great medicine in the snake pit, thinking that he would try to find a suitable one and use it to enhance his cultivation of medicine-based techniques.

"This is a cliff face. The shortest route to the snake cave is straight up from here!"

Are you still able to fly right now?

"We need your guidance to take it off!"

Zhang Xuezhou had looked down over this area while soaring through the air. If he didn't mind climbing the cliffs, his location was relatively close to the snake cave.

There are not only trees here, but also several lush vines, which further enhance the concealment of the heavy trucks.

When pain causes a loss of body control, all flying techniques become useless.

Zhang Xuezhou currently possesses sufficient Law Power, but he has difficulty controlling the speed and direction of his flight. The possibility of losing control of his flight is extremely high, and he may not be able to avoid the ferocious beast landing in the snake pit at the right moment. He is also not so stubborn as to rely on his own abilities to solve the problem.

Ren Yisheng Yisheng's trip to Qinmeng was originally intended to learn to fly from Zhang Xuezhou, but he never expected that he would have to take on such a major responsibility himself.

He took a breath, put a mouthful of Qi-Nourishing Paste in his mouth, and then began to circulate the Cloud Soaring Technique.

The wind and waves slowly rose beneath his feet, Ren Yisheng's body swayed and tumbled into the air.

He reached out and pulled Zhang Xuezhou, feeling as if Zhang Xuezhou's body was as light as a feather, as if Zhang Xuezhou could fly just as easily as he could.

"It's a Wild Serpent!"

Ren Yisheng stepped onto the cliff face and continued to leap upwards. He was somewhat afraid of falling, but as he looked up towards the snake pit, Ren Yisheng eyes inevitably narrowed with vigilance.

Without flying to a high point, one cannot know what is below. Once one flies to a few sparse trees high on the cliff, Ren Yisheng can only see the huge body of the wild snake slowly writhing in the snake den.

The fact that Ren Yisheng felt it wriggling meant that the speed of the wild serpent was obviously ridiculously slow.

Even at this speed, the massive body of the serpent was coiled around the bodies of several ferocious beasts.

A giant white horse, three zhang tall, resembling a giant tortoise on a small hill, with two sheep-like horns that still grew three meters long after circling several times on its head, were all wrapped up by the wild serpent's super-long body, just like parents holding a chubby baby sleeping.

On Stone Pillar Mountain, two miles away from the desolate serpent, the white dragon that Ren Yisheng had attacked was hanging upside down on the mountain, and it was difficult to determine whether it was alive or dead.

"Is this all due to Ding Kui's influence?"

Zhang Xuezhou's explanation of Ding Kui's strength was hardly enough to convince Ren Yisheng, but seeing so many ferocious beasts losing control and lying haphazardly on the ground made him gasp, and his body, which was dangling from the trees on the cliff top, almost lost its balance.

"Yes, and there was also a small golden lion. I wonder where it rolled off to after it lost consciousness!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced around the snake pit and realized that the situation was not far off from his guess.

His shout did have some positive effects, not only waking Hu Yu and allowing him to reclaim Ding Kui, but also causing Ding Kui's power to escape uncontrollably.

Nearly two days had passed, and these ferocious beasts were still lingering in a state of loss of sensation, the effects of which were far more severe than on him.

However, the golden lion capable of communicating telepathically was not nearby, and its small size made it difficult to observe directly.

Zhang Xuezhou gave a reminder, signaling Ren Yisheng to stay vigilant.

"What a pity!"

Looking at the large, ferocious beasts scattered all over the ground, especially the Black Tortoise that the Zhou Household needed, Ren Yisheng felt a sharp pain in his liver.

He somewhat regretted not bringing two hundred people with him to retrieve the ferocious beast.

Even disregarding the golden-haired lion Zhang Xuezhou mentioned, there were still five ferocious beasts here, like lambs to the slaughter, and even the most troublesome wild snake lay outside its den.

Zhang Xuezhou was clearly a man of action. Although he himself suffered greatly, Zhang Xuezhou also successfully wreaked havoc on the horde of ferocious beasts.

As Ren Yisheng drifted towards the snake's lair, he remained vigilant, wary of the snake's nervous reflexes and also of the golden-haired lion that Zhang Xuezhou had mentioned.

But when the two of them sailed through the waves to the entrance of the snake cave, they did not see any golden lion.

"The taste here is a bit special!"

Ren Yisheng turned on the backup light source he carried, and saw that the snake pit was full of filth.

Of course, things weren't much better outside the snake pit. Ren Yisheng even discovered a mountain of excrement teeming with maggots downwind.

"This place is nothing but shit!"

Zhang Xuezhou murmured something.

Whether it's the snakes' excrement or the excrement from the snakes being eaten by ferocious beasts, this place is always full of excrement, which accumulates to a terrible degree over time.

In the past, one could focus on the snakes, but now the snakes have mostly disappeared, and what one sees is an eyesore.

Ren Yisheng had to pull up a mask to avoid poisoning, and Zhang Xuezhou also tried his best to suppress his breath.

For a moment, both of them tried to fly as steadily as possible to avoid falling into it.

"Professor, your flying Zhunti considerably!"

The snake cave was a winding and foul-smelling place. Ren Yisheng could fly without touching the ground and even fly sideways in some narrow areas. Zhang Xuezhou felt that Ren Yisheng's flying skills were improving rapidly, almost reaching the limit of the True Spirit Realm flying. Even Zhang Xuezhou's flying skills in the True Spirit Realm were only at this level.

Compared to him personally guiding Ren Yisheng in learning to fly, this is far less effective than Ren Yisheng shouldering the heavy responsibility of leading the flight.

This rather unexpected Zhunti not only amazed Zhang Xuezhou, but also left Ren Yisheng speechless.

In short, the harsher the environment, the more it toughens a person.

If he doesn't want to fall into the cesspool, Ren Yisheng must maintain a high level of performance and cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.

"That's it!"

Nearly twenty minutes later, Zhang Xuezhou found the area he had been in by relying on his memory.

The serpent's lair reeked of a foul stench, but the air was much fresher at the Qinmeng Secret Stone, which led to the area.

The snake dung that Zhong Rang previously stuck to the Qin Meng Secret Stone was still there; the dung, about a finger's thickness, wasn't very firmly attached and hadn't been cleaned off by the snakes.

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and pulled, and the Qin Meng Secret Stone began to emerge from beneath the thick layer of snake dung.

"Fossil!"

As the fossilization technique was applied, the stone layers covering the Qinmeng Secret Stone continuously turned into stone chips and fell down, bringing a cool and familiar scent.

The lingering stench around his body gradually faded, and Zhang Xuezhou felt the aches and pains in his body disappearing under the baptism of Spiritual Qi.

Spiritual Qi is indeed the best way to heal physical damage. It can not only repair physical wounds, but also strengthen the body's foundation and even promote the advancement of cultivation.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't intend to stay in the snake cave to heal completely. He just wanted to heal to a certain extent before quickly moving the Qin Meng Secret Stone and the snake cave's great medicine away from there.

He gave Ren Yisheng some instructions, and Ren Yisheng nodded and began to dig for medicinal herbs.

Aside from the unexpected traumatic symptoms inflicted on Zhang Xuezhou by Ding Kui, their original objective could be almost perfectly achieved as long as they could safely obtain what they needed and leave this place.

Something's up!

Ren Yisheng kept digging, but after removing more than ten centimeters, it became increasingly difficult to dig deeper, as it was as hard as stone.

Unfortunately, the powerful medicines Zhang Xuezhou mentioned were hidden in the lowest level.

He suddenly understood why Zhang Xuezhou had only taken out two yuan earlier.

It wasn't that Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to take it, but rather that he simply couldn't dig up much in a short time.

To avoid damaging the medicine, Ren Yisheng hasn't dared to use the Mental Storm Sweep yet.

When he was digging and things were getting a bit dull, he heard Zhang Xuezhou whisper something, which made Ren Yisheng's eyelids twitch.

He stopped digging, and heard a faint sound coming from inside the snake cave, as if something had also crawled in along the cave's corridor.
