The journey ahead doesn't seem that difficult.
Gu Heng led the two sisters into the dense forest. This dense forest belonged to the territory of the dragon snake beast. It was quiet and deep, much better than the sandstorm in the dragon scorpion desert.
But this is actually a more dangerous place.
The quieter it is, the more it proves that the dragons, snakes and monsters inside are definitely the type that will feast on you if they move. They are absolutely dangerous!
As expected.
It had been less than half an hour since we entered the dense forest.
Gu Heng had already killed seven or eight dragon-snake beasts. Although they were called beasts, they were actually not much different from ordinary pythons, except that their scales were obviously the angular dragon scales rather than snake scales.
These dragon snakes posed no threat at all. Gu Heng had sharp eyes. The dragon snake beasts used the environment to hide themselves, but he still saw through them. He then killed them one by one with a single cut. It was so painful!
Become stronger, fighting is fun!
Gu Heng was very interested.
However, the two sisters Shutao and Shuying felt their hearts tremble violently when they saw this.
This kind of dragon snake beast is not easy to deal with!
They have been here for two days. During these two days, they have been following the orders of Senior Sister Bai Feier to hunt these young dragon snake beasts.
Although they are in their juvenile stage, the dragon scales on these dragon-snake beasts are as hard as gold and iron, and their speed is as fast as a strong wind. They are obviously so powerful, but they are still just crouching in the dark waiting to ambush people. If they don't take action first and are hit hard by the dragon-snake beasts, even the cultivators in the fusion stage will be injured!
Shu Tao remembered that Senior Sister Bai Feier suffered such a loss.
Therefore, the disciples of the Wanjian Immortal Sect chose to stick together, because if they didn't, those of them who were weaker would never be able to complete the goal of "collecting the holy dragon blood"!
It was naturally impossible to pass the test, and the consequences of failing were...
Shu Tao heard that those "immortals" who came from the Xiaoxuantian Realm were all cold-blooded and regarded human life as worthless.
For them.
If you fail the test, it probably means there is no point in living.
But with Gu Heng...
I don't know if it was because his knife was too sharp or he was just ridiculously strong, but in front of him, the dragon scales of these dragon snake beasts that could withstand the siege of dozens of monks were like thin papers and were easily chopped off!
Is this the style of a master?
Love it.
Dragon Snake Beast: If you don't love me, please don't hurt me!
If Shu Tao was worried before that Gu Heng might not be able to protect them all the way and might even get herself involved, she no longer has such doubts.
If you continue to have such thoughts in your mind, it means you are underestimating the reliable Fellow Daoist Gu!
Another hour passed.
Gu Heng stood by a stream and stopped to rest.
He didn't need to rest, it was mainly the two sisters behind him who needed it. They had been running in the desert for too long and had been chased by scorpions. Girls are always more delicate, and their faces turned pale in just a short while.
"What's up, you two?"
Gu Heng asked.
"It's okay, it just consumes a lot of energy."
Shu Tao said this, and then said a few words to Shu Ying. Then, Shu Ying came over and stretched out her hand to Gu Heng: "Gu Daoyou... this is for you."
Um?
Gu Heng was puzzled and took the thing that Shuying handed to him.
There were a dozen small blood-red crystalline stones, very small, and smelled faintly of blood. Gu Heng was wondering what they were, and Shuying took the initiative to tell him.
"This is the 'holy dragon blood' from those dragons and snakes. My sister and I collected it... This is your share.""You need to collect forty of them to complete the test and get out of the Holy Dragon Cave Mansion."
Shuying, the younger sister, is more timid than her older sister. She speaks like a little animal and dares not speak too loudly. Being so close to her, Gu Heng almost didn't hear her voice and thought it was the buzzing of a mosquito.
However, this holy dragon blood actually looks like this.
Gu Heng weighed the Holy Dragon Blood in his hand, and new doubts emerged. He asked, "Do you know what reward you can get if you complete the test?"
"Huh?"
"Oh, they say I was conscripted here. I was just eating my meal when a bunch of soldiers robbed me. I don't know a lot of things."
In fact, he is still quite confused. He only knows some fragmentary information, but more, such as what will happen after passing the test, Gu Heng doesn't know.
After all, he was really eating in a restaurant.
I was pulled directly onto the boat and then sent here.
I was basically in a semi-confused state throughout the whole process.
"Oh, that's it..."
Shuying then told the story in detail, without hiding anything, and told everything she knew.
It's probably because they heard that the demon world will come and cause trouble from time to time, so now the immortals plan to select talented seedlings in the Xuantian Realm, those top-notch seedlings who can grow quickly and become stronger in a short period of time!
The screening method is to send them to the Holy Dragon Cave Mansion.
As long as they can pass the test, it proves that they are good seedlings that can be cultivated.
Then...
Send it to Xiaoxuantian Realm!
"...That's about it. The sect leader told us that although the immortals' purpose is definitely not that simple and they are unlikely to be so generous, the Wanjian Immortal Sect cannot refuse."
"So if we are going to do this, we have to do our best and make sure everyone can leave here alive."
Shuying spoke weakly. She explained it in great detail, as if she was afraid that this big brother who was obviously very strong but knew nothing would continue to be ignorant.
Gu Heng felt that this was a really considerate and kind sister.
But he also knew something more exciting.
Can go to that small Xuantian realm!
Oh, here comes the opportunity!
Go to another fairyland-like world and broaden your horizons!
When he was lying in the deserted city before, he was thinking about how to go to other worlds to check out the feng shui and human relationships, but he had no way and no strength.
But now.
He has strength, although it is unknown how much.
There is a solution!
Collect enough holy dragon blood here, complete the test, and then you will be sent to the Xiaoxuantian Realm?
If he didn't seize this good opportunity, Gu Heng felt that it would be almost impossible to encounter it again next time.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, we will definitely get enough of this Holy Dragon Blood!"
Gu Heng began to sharpen his knife again and rushed towards the dragon and snake.
…
Aside, in the shadows.
A dragon snake coiled on a tree, silently looking at the stream, its eyes revealing a gleam of brilliance no less than its own.
"Why does this guy look like a young man just starting out in every aspect?"
The Dragon Emperor tilted his head, very confused...
