Chapter 315 Human-Snake War
"Alright, let's try our hand at this little white worm today!"
A resolute glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes. Her body, which had been floating upwards, suddenly stopped, and she decisively turned around to face the giant snake.
The snake's body was as thick as a water bucket, and its scales gleamed with a cold, frosty luster, radiating a chilling aura in the dark pool.
Seven inches above its head was a piece of blood-red jade, and its long, scarlet tongue flickered as it moved in and out.
"Could this ice serpent actually be the legendary Mystic Ice Blood Jade Serpent?"
Shen Rugo was startled. Her panicked thoughts gradually calmed down, and after a careful look, she quickly recognized it.
In order to find out if she possessed the bloodline of the phoenix, she devoted herself to studying various books about animals and, with her photographic memory, memorized many kinds of animals.
Looking at the giant snake before her, she murmured in disbelief, "How could there be such an extinct Xuanbing Blood Jade Serpent, an ancient spirit beast, in this world, in this secret realm, and it has survived for tens of thousands of years?"
The fighting spirit that had been ignited by Zhao Cai's encouragement vanished instantly upon recognizing the snake's origin.
Zhao Cai keenly sensed Shen Rugo's hesitation and immediately shouted, "Your Highness, who cares what kind of snake it is, let's take it down!"
Before the words were finished, it suddenly opened its small mouth, and a ball of blazing flame shot out like an arrow, rushing straight at the giant snake.
This giant serpent silently guards the icy pool, its long years having long since numbed it to everything around it.
When Shen Rugo fell, it did not attack immediately out of curiosity, and even allowed her to escape.
But at this moment, the sudden appearance of the ugly little creature, Zhao Cai, dared to provoke it, which completely enraged it.
A cold glint flashed in the snake's eyes, and its mouth opened wide, unleashing a stream of icy water that precisely struck the fireball spat out by Zhao Cai.
In an instant, the fireball vanished, and the giant snake's massive body, like a white lightning bolt, hurtled towards Shen Rugo.
"So fast!"
Shen Rugo was shocked. Without thinking, she quickly threw out a top-grade level four rune, the Earth Shield Rune.
In an instant, a tan shield appeared before her, incredibly sturdy.
"Dangdang!"
With a deafening roar, the entire deep pool trembled as the snake's head slammed into the earthen shield, unleashing a torrent of force.
Despite possessing the defensive power of a peak Golden Core cultivator, the Earth Shield Talisman shattered instantly under this terrifying impact.
Shen Rugo was thrown back like a kite with a broken string, blood spilling from her mouth, her face as pale as paper.
"Zhao Cai, this is an ancient spirit beast, we are no match for it!"
This ten-zhang-long Xuanbing Blood Jade Serpent definitely possesses the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"You little white bug, how dare you harm my princess!"
Zhao Cai was furious. Its proud life-fire had been extinguished in one blow, which completely ignited its rage.
It kept waving its little mouth, making chirping sounds, and streaks of fire shot like meteors toward the giant snake's head, eyes, and the blood jade above its seven-inch mark.
Amazingly, despite being in the icy cold water, the flames spewed by Zhaocai were not afraid of the cold and did not go out, continuing to burn as they rushed towards the giant snake.
The giant serpent was completely enraged. Its mouth opened wide again, and a barrage of ice arrows shot out like a torrential rain, colliding fiercely with the flames.
Most of the flames were quickly extinguished by the impact of the ice arrows, but one flame still managed to land precisely on the giant snake's head with a "squeak".
"Ouch!"
The giant serpent let out a deafening roar, its voice like a dragon's cry, echoing throughout the entire icy pool.
It shook its massive head wildly, the excruciating pain driving it almost insane.
Shen Rugo looked closely and saw that a small black hole had been burned into the top of the giant snake's head.
She couldn't help but gasp: what kind of creature was this little guy she had hatched that could keep the flames burning in the water and even hurt such a powerful ancient spirit beast?
Taking advantage of the giant snake's pain, Shen Rugo decisively threw out a water-based rune, an ice cone rune.
In the water, the rune's power was even greater; in an instant, countless ice spikes shot towards the giant serpent like a rain of flowers.
The giant serpent hissed, and the blood jade above its seven-inch mark burst forth with dazzling red light. Ancient runes appeared on the palm-sized scales on its body.
Faced with the overwhelming icicles, the giant snake neither dodged nor avoided them, letting the icicles strike its body.
The cracking sound continued as the ice spikes shattered, yet they couldn't even scratch its scales.
"Zhao Cai, quickly burn him, burn him to death!"
Shen Rugo shouted upon seeing this.
The giant serpent unleashed a powerful defensive technique, its scales providing astonishing protection.
"Little White Bug, you actually have some skills!"
"Watch how I break through your defenses and burn you to ashes today!"
While shouting, Zhao Cai repeatedly swallowed and spat out flames with its little mouth. This time, it actually spewed out hundreds of flames in one breath.
In an instant, the entire bottom of the cold pool was illuminated by the firelight, and the originally icy water began to boil violently.
"Zhao Cai is indeed a lucky charm. Even if it's not a phoenix, it's definitely no weaker than a phoenix. Its innate true fire is truly terrifying!"
Shen Rugo's eyes were filled with amazement and joy.
Sensing the threat of the flames, the giant serpent's eyes widened in terror. The blood jade at its seven-inch mark turned crimson once more, and its massive body was also bathed in a crimson glow.
Blood Jade Divine Power: This is the innate divine power of the Mysterious Ice Blood Jade Serpent.
As its entire body turned red, the giant snake swam rapidly through the water, creating towering waves wherever it went.
Shen Rugo lost her footing and was thrown backward by the enormous impact. The flames that Zhao Cai had spewed out were also scattered and floated by the waves, and were quickly extinguished in the cold pool water.
Nevertheless, two flames still burned through the giant snake's body.
Driven to madness by its agony, the giant serpent's furious eyes seemed to spit fire.
It gave Shen Rugo and Zhao Cai no chance to breathe, and with a wide-open mouth, a cloud of foul-smelling black mist burst forth.
"Your Highness, something's wrong! This little white worm is about to spray poison!"
I am in dire need of wealth.
Shen Rugo reacted quickly, hurriedly taking out poison-avoiding pills, swallowing two herself, throwing one at Zhao Cai, and dodging at the same time.
Previously, when refining pills in the secret realm, Shen Rugo tried various pill formulas, including the antidote pill.
However, at that moment, a mocking voice rang in her mind: "Anti-poison pill? A mere human, you think your pills can cure my poison?"
What a big joke!
"Die, you two vermin! Die, all of you! Turn into a mist of blood!"
Shen Rugo was stunned. She hadn't expected that this snake could communicate telepathically, and her fear intensified.
Although she had refined a level four poison-avoiding pill, she had no idea whether it could withstand the snake venom of this ancient spirit beast.
Just as Shen Rugo was filled with doubt and surprise, Zhao Cai spat out the antidote pill and threw it back to her: "Your Highness, don't waste this antidote pill on me. Keep it for yourself!"
Shen Rugo looked at the pill that was smeared with Zhao Cai's saliva and said, "You little rascal, you actually gave me back something that had saliva on it?"
She threw the pills away with a look of disgust.
