Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 281 Qinling Sacred Tree (40)

After getting the answer he wanted, Ji Xiao took out a piece of yellow talisman paper that he had prepared long ago from his arms, muttered something, and then threw the talisman paper into the air.

The talisman paper turned into a dazzling light in mid-air, and then a black vortex appeared on the ground, which was the passage to the Yellow Springs Road.

Ji Xiao looked at the man in front of her and said calmly, "Go ahead. After crossing the river, you will be able to see your prince and general."

A hint of expectation flashed in the man's eyes, and he responded softly, "Okay, thank you." Before entering the passage, the man looked at Ji Xiao deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

Seeing this, Ji Xiao said calmly, "No need to thank me, we just get what we need." Hearing this, the man nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then he walked into the passage without hesitation. Then his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and the passage slowly closed and returned to its original state.

It was only then that Fatty Wang woke up from his dream. He walked quickly to Ji Xiao's side and asked in surprise, "Sister, is this the legendary Yellow Spring Road?" While speaking, he kept rubbing his arms, as if he could still feel the chill.

Ji Xiao nodded slightly to show affirmation.

Fatty Wang widened his eyes and muttered in disbelief: "I thought..."

Before he could finish, Ji Xiao raised her eyebrows and interrupted him: "What do you think? Do you think this is just a fictional story or legend?"

Fatty Wang, Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Ji Xiao smiled helplessly, thinking that these people were really naive, but she didn't say much.

"Okay, don't worry about these details. Let's go save that poor little Wu Xie."

"He brought it upon himself." Although Fatty Wang was still being sarcastic verbally, his actions did not slow down at all.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, they happened to run into a group of people being chased by a giant snake. Because Zhang Qiling was carrying a pack of animal repellent powder, when the giant snake rushed past them, they saw that its crawling speed had obviously increased a lot.

"Brother, save me~~" Wu Xie was being chased so hard that he didn't dare to stop and could only run forward with all his might.

The moment her eyes met with the big snake's, Ji Xiao jumped without hesitation and jumped directly into Zhang Qiling's arms, and called out in a tender voice: "Qiling..."

Zhang Qiling was quick to hug Ji Xiao tightly and comforted her softly, "If you are scared, just close your eyes and hold me tight."

"Yeah." Ji Xiao did as she was told obediently, slowly closed her eyes, and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.

In fact, she was not particularly afraid, she just felt that the snake was too big and looked a little scary. Moreover, she had someone to rely on beside her. If she had faced it alone, she would have killed the snake with a sword.

"Let's hurry up and catch up, or we'll get eaten."

Zhang Qiling chased after Ji Xiao with him in his arms, and without hesitation drew out the ancient black-gold sword on his back and threw it at the python. Then he accurately hit the python's vital point. The sword pierced through the heart, simply perfect.

Fatty Wang looked at the motionless snake in front of him cautiously and asked nervously, "Is it dead?"

Hei Xia Zi stood aside and calmly analyzed: "According to common sense, it should be dead, but we can't completely rule out that this beast is pretending to be dead."

Zhang Qiling planned to put Ji Xiao down and go to check the situation. However, Ji Xiao hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go, and shouted anxiously: "No, you have to take me with you. I also want its gallbladder, snake skin and snake tendons!" Zhang Qiling nodded helplessly to indicate his agreement.

"Okay, you tell me what to do and I'll do it."

"Ah."

Then, Zhang Qiling picked up Ji Xiao and walked over carefully. After a thorough examination, and confirming that she was completely dead, he gently put Ji Xiao down.

Then, according to the method Ji Xiao said, he skillfully pulled out the skin, gallbladder and tendons from the snake one by one, and put them into the box that Ji Xiao had prepared in advance and kept them properly.

At this time, Wu Xie, who had been sitting on the ground in fear, finally came to his senses, and Fatty Wang and others also came forward.

"Sister, I know that snake gall can be used as medicine, but what are the uses of this snake skin and tendons?"

"Snake skin can be used to make drumheads, and these tendons can be woven into a strong whip!"

"I didn't expect you to know these crafts!"

"Of course~" Facing everyone's doubts and curiosity, Ji Xiao answered confidently.

"Thank you, brother. You saved me again."

"Ah."

At this moment, there was a rustling sound behind them. When they turned around, they saw another snake chasing them closely. The snake's eyes flashed with a strange red light, which made people shudder. Ji Xiao looked at the fierce giant snake and shouted to Zhang Qiling without fear: "Qiling, I want this snake too!"

"Okay, then you wait here. As it happens, this big snake is full of treasures. Its fat is an excellent fuel for the eternal lamp. I can collect them all and sell them for a lot of money."

"Yeah, got it." As he spoke, Zhang Qiling suddenly remembered that he had not had time to clean the knife he had used to deal with the snake, so he quickly rushed forward while the big snake had not yet come close.

He slashed the snake with his knife in one stroke, his movements were clean and neat, and he killed the snake with one stroke. Then, he began to process the snake skillfully, not letting go of any useful part.

Ji Xiao looked at the snake's corpse and said to Zhang Qiling, "Qiling, I want its eyes. They are very beautiful."

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Qiling replied.

At this time, Wu Xie beside him also slowly regained some spirit. Wu Xie seemed to come back to his senses. He looked at the snake's eyes and said in surprise: "Wow, look, this snake's eyes are actually purple! Do you want more?"

Ji Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but I don't seem to have the right tools... Otherwise, you should stop moving and I'll ask Qi Ling to help me dig it out later."

"Okay then." Wu Xie nodded in agreement.

Soon the group found the exit and left. At the same time, Ji Xiao notified that the person who came to pick them up had arrived. After Ji Xiao handed Lao Yang over to the person, he left with Zhang Qiling and the others.
