Chapter 758 Demon Snake Valley
"whispering sound."
In a corner of the training ground, Yang Yan stared coldly at the group of people, his face full of resentment.
He's now in a very awkward situation; those who rank highly and have powerful connections look down on him.
Those who were not as well-off as him only paid lip service to him and flattered him superficially, which completely deviated from the script he had envisioned.
This shouldn't be happening. I was the top scorer in the entrance exam; these people should be surrounding me!
It's all because of Ye Kang! He suddenly appeared and stole the spotlight. Why should he get all the limelight? What is it about him that I lack?
Yang Yan recalled that day when they returned from the Thousand Poison Swamp. He had taken the initiative to lower himself and talk to them, but they ignored him completely. This scene was like a thorn, making him feel uneasy every night.
He was a genius of unparalleled talent, yet these people ignored him so blatantly!
They're all idiots!
He clenched his fists, his face growing increasingly dark.
……
Seven days passed quickly.
Ye Kang walks back and forth between the Martial Academy and the Array Academy every day, and his combat skills have made great progress. In particular, he has already mastered the five-person combat technique, and he is becoming more and more proficient in the wok-flipping combat technique.
The courses at the Array Academy also benefited him greatly. He already possessed countless ancient array knowledge in his mind, so when learning modern arrays, he could often draw inferences from one instance to another and find new ways to learn.
Therefore, he no longer studies many basic knowledge points, but instead attends classes directly with the students from the previous two years.
Qing Songzi praised him as a genius of formations.
Ye Kang's fame spread throughout the academy, and even many senior students heard about the deeds of this genius who excelled in both martial arts and formations.
The seventh night.
Finally, the holiday arrived, and Ye Kang and his four companions, along with Yin Xingtang and his two companions, tacitly gathered at the entrance of the academy.
Wang Chi smiled and said, "Everyone, I've accepted a mission about the Demon Serpent Valley. It requires collecting ten pairs of Star Luo Realm venomous snake eyes. There are seven of us working together. I wonder if we have a chance?"
"Ten pairs..."
Nangong Xue was a little nervous. Apart from Ye Kang, she had the lowest cultivation level and her combat strength was only comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator at the sixth level.
The others were all true peak-level Six Palaces cultivators, and all possessed the strength to defeat a Star Luo of a higher level.
In this task, she actually seemed to be the one holding everyone back.
Ye Kang comforted him, "Don't be afraid. With Zhan Fa and the support of the three of them, the snake demon who has just entered Xingluo is no match for us."
“That’s right. The only thing to consider is to do it as discreetly as possible, so as not to alert those demon emperors.”
During the Wu Dynasty, the relationship between the human and demon races was quite delicate.
In sensitive border areas, such as the Black Desert, the strength of the Star Luo Realm is already a powder keg. Either side would be in the wrong if they made the first move, so they are all hesitant to act. For example, the Withered Moon Demon King doesn't dare to use force at all.
However, within the border area, the level of sensitivity is elevated to the level of returning to the true realm.
That's right. Even if the Nirvana Demon Emperor were to provoke humanity, it wouldn't necessarily start a war between the two races. At most, it would attract the attention of the generals or commanders of the Three Prefectures.
That's why the black leopard and the snake demon dared to attack Yin Xingtang and the other two so recklessly back in the Thousand Poison Swamp.
Therefore, Ye Kang and his group had no problem hunting snake demons. Similarly, if the Nirvana Demon Emperor discovered them and killed them in return, the human race had nothing to say.
Danger lies within.
Dai Zijun said, "It's alright. I've done all the intelligence work. The Demon Serpent Valley is currently undergoing a generational change. It seems that the younger snake demons are having a fierce fight with the older snake demons and are too busy to take care of themselves. At this time, they don't have time to deal with a few minor characters."
"Reliable."
Ye Kang gave a thumbs up, and upon hearing this, everyone was no longer worried. They immediately mounted their horses and headed towards the direction of the Demon Serpent Valley.
The horses they rode were not ordinary horses, but spirit steeds, which were extremely fast. In less than half a night, they arrived at the Demon Serpent Valley, located west of the county town.
The four most dangerous places are: the Demon Serpent Valley in the west, the Soul-Severing Mountains in the east, the Bottomless Lake in the south, and the Thousand Poison Swamp in the north.
The purest of them all is the Demon Serpent Valley. Although it is called a valley, it is actually an enormous mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles.
However, within the mountains, there is a winding snake path that gradually transforms into a deep valley. Because the inhabitants of this place are all snake demons and venomous snakes are everywhere, it is named Demon Snake Valley.
As the seven people looked into the dark and gloomy valley from afar, they all felt a chill.
"Speaking of which, my father once said that the Demon Serpent Valley may seem the most ordinary, but it is actually the most difficult to enter. This is because the snake demons here are all thousand-year-old snakes that have become spirits and all possess poisonous supernatural powers. Martial artists would rather go to the Broken Soul Mountain Range to challenge the invincible Eagle King than come here to guard against the all-pervasive snake venom."
Lü Tianyang sighed.
Ye Kang was momentarily dumbfounded: "Eagle King?"
"Brother Ye didn't know that among the four dangerous places, only the Broken Soul Mountain Range has a Great Demon King in the Returning to Truth Realm, named Golden Feather Eagle King. It is said that the General Commander of the Three Prefectures has been keeping an eye on him, so he never shows himself easily."
The commander-in-chief of a prefecture must naturally be at the True Realm to be qualified to serve.
The fact that a great demon emperor could be watched by the General of the Spirit Spring is something that no one else can achieve.
Ye Kang didn't ask any more questions about this matter. Instead, he used his Boundless Azure Eyes to look at the dark valley.
"As expected, the miasma is everywhere. Luckily, I got a bunch of pills from my senior brother beforehand."
Ye Kang divided the pills that Lu Zhian had given him. There were not only antidote pills but also miasma-avoiding pills. Taking them in advance would at least counteract some of the toxin attacks.
With the White Bone Transformation Pill, his trump card, Ye Kang wasn't too nervous.
After distributing the pills and settling the horses, the group headed towards the valley.
The aura of martial artists could be seen flashing by from time to time.
This is quite normal. Not only the students of the academy, but also so many people in the county town, as well as independent cultivators from outside, and even soldiers from the military camp, all frequently come to explore the four perilous lands.
After all, the strongest warriors are those who grow up in perilous environments.
As long as we keep to ourselves and don't interfere with each other's affairs, there's no need to meddle.
"Be careful, this is the outer area. Serpent Valley is no joke. Poisonous snakes can appear at any time. If you get bitten, you're done for."
Gao Fan gave a reminder before disappearing into the darkness. He was a martial artist with assassin attributes at their peak, who loved to unleash a fatal blow in the shadows, making him the perfect scout.
The group slowly followed, and for a moment, they could hear each other's breathing clearly.
"Hey, you bunch of bastards up ahead, this is my hunting ground, get lost."
Suddenly, an arrogant voice rang out, and everyone looked over to see four or five bandits dressed as warriors, each holding a weapon, swaggering over the group.
When did these people come out?
Ye Kang's expression darkened: "Your hunting grounds? Could it be that you are the master of the Demon Serpent Valley?"
"Hahahaha! You, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator at the fifth level, are quite composed. But judging from your attire, you're students from the academy, aren't you? Don't be so young and risk your lives in a place like this. Get out of here!"
