RPAGF Chapter 107 Deceiving a Snake
Chapter 107 Deceiving a Snake
Everyone from Yun Dan Sect was dumbfounded.
Xie Peng, Liu Yue, and the others were somewhat incredulous that they had encountered such a rare and precious treasure.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Just as everyone was getting excited, a hissing sound suddenly came from above!
Immediately afterwards, rustling sounds came from nearby.
It looked like something was crawling along the ground towards them.
"Such rare and precious materials must be guarded by powerful demonic beasts. Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Xiao Jiuge licked her lips and stood in front of the crowd.
Chen Fengzi and Conghan also stepped forward, protecting the disciples behind them.
Granny Liao, holding two kitchen knives, stood close to Da Hei and looked around.
Su Li also circulated all his spiritual power, preparing for battle.
"Chen Qing, you lead them to pick fruit!!"
However, before Chen Qing could even get close to the Bodhi tree, he was frightened back several steps by a pair of extremely cold eyes!
"Wow, so big... such a big snake..."
Chen Qing swore that he was not cowardly...it was simply...
Su Li looked back and saw that the Bodhi tree had moved.
The entire tree trunk is moving...
It turned out that the entire Bodhi tree was coiled up by a giant python that was seven or eight zhang long.
A huge head suddenly rose up.
"Ouch..."
[Shameless humans, don't even think about stealing my things!]
Ok?
Su Li looked at the Devouring Python with a puzzled expression!
She thought she just heard the snake speak!
The giant snake suddenly opened its blood-red maw and roared angrily at the sky.
The entire ground was shaking violently.
The other cultivators turned to look when they heard the commotion.
"Quick! A rare treasure has appeared! Run!"
"That sound...it sounds like the Devouring Python! Something guarded by such a celestial-rank demonic beast must be a treasure!!"
All the cultivators are rushing towards this place!
Xiao Jiuge's expression changed when he saw the giant python clearly.
"Little Plow, this snake is probably at the late stage of the Void Transformation Realm. If we don't leave, we might all die here..."
Chen Fengzi nodded in agreement.
One Void Transformation stage cultivator could easily defeat five Golden Core stage cultivators; it seems they have no chance of obtaining the Bodhi Fruit...
A hint of reluctance appeared in everyone's eyes, but they knew that leaving was the right thing to do.
"hiss!"
[That old man was right, you're no match for me!]
Su Li tilted his head and looked at the giant snake, quite certain that it was this thing that was speaking!
Since we can speak, we can talk!
Su Li took out a large pile of fruits and spirit stones from the Serpent's Secret Realm and placed them in front of him, then waved to the giant serpent.
"Little darling, do you see any you like? How about I trade you two fruits?"
"Look at those Bodhi fruits, they're green and sour, they definitely won't taste good!"
The giant snake looked at Su Li as if he were an idiot.
It made a hissing sound.
[Where did this idiot come from, trading this trash for my Bodhi fruit! Pah!]
That's an insult to my intelligence!
Su Li: ...
"What about the elixir?"
Su Li laid out all the Foundation Establishment Pills, Breakthrough Pills, and Power Gathering Pills she had refined.
The giant python let out a sneer.
[Pfft, a bunch of junk pills, I'd rather... wait, these pills...]
The giant python suddenly stretched out its enormous head.
Xiao Jiuge and the others were so nervous that they almost forgot to breathe.
[Hmm...it's the aura of my ancestor!]
However, these pills are far too few; humans, these pills cannot exchange for my fruit!
The enormous head approached the pills in front of Su Li, flicking its tongue!
Su Li's eyes lit up. It would be great if they could exchange them!
Su Li then took out a section of vine and showed it to the giant python.
"There's this too! Eating it can increase spiritual power!"
The giant python's eyes were filled with a layer of ice.
Ouch! [Humans are all the same, I bit into this stuff when I was a kid, ugh, so bitter and astringent!]
Su Li: ....You're still a sly snake. If it were winter, and I put a big iron gate on you, your tongue would stick to it!
"Grandpa Snake, you can't eat these vines directly; you have to cook them before eating!"
Su Li gestured to Granny Liao to set up a pot to cook the vines.
Xiao Jiuge and the others: ...If it weren't for her muttering to herself, could that snake understand human speech?
Devouring Python: ...Holy crap? This human can understand snake language??
Su Li nodded at the Devouring Python.
"I once saved a hydra king! To express his gratitude, he even gave me the serpent clan's treasure!"
"Perhaps it's because I have a special connection with the snake clan that I can understand what you're saying!"
Xiao Jiuge and the others, who know the truth: ...
Wow, she really can just spout off like that!
The soul of a certain hydra within the ancient tree trembled with rage. "That damned human!!"
How dare they deceive the snake clan and steal their treasure?! *Sobbing*
"hiss..."
[Do you want to exchange for Bodhi fruits?]
Su Li nodded vigorously.
"I see there are quite a lot of fruits on the tree. How about we each pick one?"
The Devouring Python angrily opened its blood-red maw.
[Shameless human, do you think Bodhi fruits are like cabbages? I've guarded them for hundreds of years, and only forty-three have grown!]
[Oh dear, my sharp tongue!!]
The Devouring Python tried to cover its mouth, but alas, it didn't have hands!
At this moment, the Devouring Python's desire to transform into human form reached its peak!
By this time, Granny Liao had already cooked the vines.
Su Li held the vine to the mouth of the Devouring Python!
The Devouring Python didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed it whole in one gulp.
[Mmm...sweeter than Bodhi fruit! Delicious!!]
After consuming a pot of vines, the Devouring Python pondered for a moment and then spoke to Su Li.
"You can have the Bodhi fruit, but you can trade it for the boiled vines!"
Su Li: ....She always said that tall people are all a bit dim-witted...
Seeing Su Li standing there in a daze, the Devouring Python thought Su Li was reluctant to part with it, but what could it do when the vines were so delicious?
Moreover, the spiritual energy contained within those vines is extremely pure, and they taste especially delicious!
Waaah, this snake has never eaten such delicious vines before...
Su Li asked tentatively.
"So, how many vines do you want?"
The Devouring Python knew about those vines, which could blot out the sky during the day!
But it can't be cooked...
hiss...
[One fruit per pot?]
Su Li pinched his thigh hard to keep himself from laughing.
"Oh dear...you know how difficult these vines are to catch...let's discuss something."
The Devouring Python remained silent. Its mother had once told it that humans were all very cunning.
If you're going to trade with humans, be sure to fleece them!
Pshaw, Bodhi fruit, sour and astringent, he's had enough of it already!
Besides, that stuff only works once every hundred years! It's nowhere near as good as those vines!
Su Li couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
Hehe, then she won't hold back!
Soon, Su Li turned around and said with some difficulty.
"Although we worked very hard to cut these vines, and everyone was seriously injured in the process!"
However, we also want these Bodhi fruits, so let's trade them!
Xiao Jiuge and the others from Yundan Sect acted like idiots the whole time.
I just can't figure out how Su Li managed to trick a snake into exchanging Bodhi fruits for those ubiquitous vines.
