Chapter 1372: Great Snake

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Que had always been a person endowed with a unique gift. When the people who knew him well heard him say that it was a daring idea, they realized that he was going to raise a scary suggestion.

If a person’s normal actions could stun abnormal people, then a daring idea raised by that person would surely be terrifying.

“F*ck! This is...” Duan Jiude was about to speak aloud, but he refrained from it.

Xu Que waved his hand at him and asked him to not raise any questions, while he strode forward and entered the cave mouth.

Duan Jiude was still standing in his former place, and the corners of his mouth twitched. “We’re done for! I knew this lad would stir up trouble again.”

“When did he ever refrain from stirring up trouble?” Liu Jingning smiled and shook her head before she also followed Xu Que.

Meanwhile, Xu Que had already entered the cave mouth, and he had reached the secret land where the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines were planted. His Soul detection swept this region, and many scenes appeared in front of his eyes.

A giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine was visible here, and it looked like a golden python that ran throughout the cave.

This was the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main vine, and it was more than 100,000 years old. Many smaller Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines were growing out of the main vine, and their tips were shining with golden light. They were ripe Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines.

These were also the type of Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines that had been handed over to Xu Que by the Divine Farmer Clan as compensation.

But Xu Que still felt that those Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines didn’t amount to anything in comparison to the giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine.

The Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main vine was like a thigh, while the small Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines could be considered at most strands of hair growing on it.

Since the leg was in front of his eyes, why would he care about the hair growing on it? He would be able to play around for several years with this leg alone.

“Lad, have you really gone inside. Are you going to dig it out?” Duan Jiude’s voice transmitted from the cave mouth.

That guy shouted in support of digging out the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main vine, yet when Xu Que went inside for real, he cowered.

Xu Que was disinclined to pay any heed to him, and he continued observing the main vine.

On the one hand, he didn’t want to risk releasing the great snake, while on the other hand, he didn’t want to give up on the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main vine.

“What should I do?

“As a matter of fact, the solution is quite simple. I just have to take away the ground with it. I just have to dig out the whole cave.

“Our Exploding Heavens Faction has always been so outstanding.”

SWOOSH!

Xu Que waved his hand and summoned the System’s interface. A miniature white palace appeared atop his palm.

When he was still in the Xuanzhen Continent, this palace had belonged to Jiang Hongyan’s deceased father, and it was rumored that it was an object he had gotten on the Road of Heavenly Ascension. But when Xu Que went to the Xuanzhen Continent later, he had asked the previous Great Buddha to drive away the emperor, while he went to steal the whole palace.

Xu Que rarely used this palace, but it was still an object of the Celestial Artifact Grade, and Xu Que played around with it from time to time. This palace’s best function was that it could change its size freely, and it could be used as a flying artifact or as a storage artifact.

For example, he now planned to use this palace to take away the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main vine, and he would even take the great snake buried underground along with it.

“Little Que, do you want to collect them into this Celestial Artifact?” Liu Jingning walked over and got to see the white palace in Xu Que’s hand. She was quite startled!

“That is right, you are really clever,” Xu Que smiled and answered.

This palace’s best function was its ability to store objects, and those objects would also be affected by the palace’s size alteration. This was why he could put the main vine in the palace no matter how large it was, and, in the end, he would even be able to hold the main vine in his hands if he wanted to.

“But this object is so big, can you put it inside?” Liu Jingning frowned and asked in a worried tone.

“It’s fine, and it’s possible. We just have to push it inside strongly,” Xu Que said and gestured at her with his hand. He was sure that he could put the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main vine in the palace, and the pressing issue was the size of the great snake’s corpse underground.

If he couldn’t collect the great snake wholly, he could release it by mistake.

This was why Xu Que decided to start the process from the bottom part to avert any accidents.

“Little demoness, move away,” he warned her before he moved back several steps.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingning moved back.

SWOOSH!

The next moment, Xu Que waved his hands, and his ten fingertips shone brightly. Their radiance was as blazing as starlight, though they seemed ice-cold.

“Open up!”

He shouted, and his ten fingers started condensing light beams into two of his fingers. Soon after, he waved his fingers at the area in front of him, and, as the light flickered several times, a rectangular hole was made on the secret land’s ground.

“Rise!”

Xu Que shouted and waved his arm softly. The whole ground started moving and shaking intensely along with his arm.

The extremely long Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main vine started rising from the ground slowly, along with a large square-shaped piece of the ground.

One yard, two yards, three yards...

The amount of the ground’s soil drawn out by Xu Que rose as time passed, and when he had drawn out this huge square-shaped piece of land, Xu Que’s hand movement stopped.

“Is that...the great snake’s eye?” Liu Jingning cried out in surprise and covered her rosy lips with her small hand. She found this matter incredible!

She had seen a giant eye as big as a lantern among the soil, and it was still half-closed. If it had been wide open, then it would have been much bigger.

But the matter that stunned her was that it seemed like the eye was glaring at her.

It wasn’t Liu Jingning alone who had such a feeling. Xu Que had a similar feeling. This was why his hand movement had stopped, and he had stopped drawing it out of the ground. His expression turned grave as he observed that eye.

Even though that eye was half-closed, and most of its eyelid was covered by scales, it could still be discerned that its pupil was golden, and the pupil seemed like a burning and inextinguishable fire. It was scary!

“Lad, is it looking at us?” Liu Jingning was startled. This matter didn’t conform to what she had learned in the records.

“That is right. It isn’t dead, but it still can’t come out,” Xu Que said, nodding as he heaved a sigh of relief.

He was glad that he hadn’t chosen to start the excavation from the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines main root. If he had done so, he would probably have released this snake.

After all, Xu Que could clearly detect that this snake possessed a boundless life force, and he also could tell that it was angry. It seemed like it was roaring silently and making threatening gestures.

But it was fortunate that it was stranded by the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine and some hidden Restriction Spells.

“Ants! If you don’t release me...I will kill you mercilessly,” An angry shout echoed out, and it reverberated in the minds of Xu Que and Liu Jingning. It was like a sudden clap of thunder, and it was so intimidating.

“Hey, fool. Don’t let your imagination run wild. We won’t release you, we won’t ever release you. What can you do about it?” Xu Que sneered and shook his head boldly.

He had to admit that this great snake was extraordinary. Just the sole revealed eye was terrifying.

“But it was sealed, and it was like a chained toothless tiger. Why did they have to fear it?”

BANG!

All of a sudden, a muffled noise echoed sharply, and several rocks fell from the side of the floating soil, while a sharp object poked out of the soil. It was unexpectedly one of the snake’s toes.
