Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 712: Chapter 711: Tibetan Medicine Cave

Su Yang hadn’t expected the little creature to pull such a stunt, and he couldn’t help but be astounded as he exclaimed, ”Hey, what are you doing?”

The little fellow naturally did not respond, and after burrowing into the underbrush, it disappeared without a trace—while the sparse sound grew louder. Following that, the grass shook violently as if something was moving swiftly through it.

”It seems to be a snake!” Elder Jeang whispered beside him, ”Master Su, was that your pet just now? This... Shall we go over and have a look? There are many snakes on the mountain, and this little pet... don’t let it get eaten by a snake...”

”No need!” Su Yang waved his hand dismissively; after all, what snake could swallow this little fellow?

Even the blow from the Lian Family’s Thirteen Hawks, comparable to that of a Terrestrial Immortal, hitting the turtle shell, merely woke the little fellow from its slumber. Not even a scratch was left on the shell, which spoke volumes of the little fellow’s resilience.

The unfortunate one would likely be the snake if it encountered this little fellow, certainly not the creature itself!

Elder Jeang and the others all looked astonished; after all, the little creature was so small. How could Su Yang seem utterly unconcerned?

The underbrush trembled violently, and suddenly, a red light burst forth, setting the nearby underbrush ablaze.

”What’s happening?” everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Su Yang himself was shocked and quickly ran over, only to see the little fellow flying out of the underbrush, shaky on its feet. Within the flames, a pure red snake swiftly slithered away.

”A Scarlet Snake!” Su Yang couldn’t help but be astonished, while the little fellow decisively gave chase.

Without hesitation, Su Yang followed after. Blocked by the flames, Elder Jeang and the others couldn’t keep up, especially since Su Yang was much faster.

The little creature was quite fast too, but it didn’t seem in a hurry to catch up; rather, it toyed with the Scarlet Snake like a cat with a mouse, trailing behind it.

The Scarlet Snake was remarkably quick, seemingly frightened, and soon burst out of the reach of the underbrush. This area was at the edge of the mountain, near a cliff. Upon reaching this place, the snake didn’t stop but shot straight into the cliff.

Looking back and seeing Su Yang following, the little creature also excitedly hopped into the cliff.

Su Yang was left speechless. The little one truly had nerves of steel. Didn’t it know not to pursue a desperate foe to the end?

However, Su Yang did not hesitate either and jumped right into the cliff after it.

The Scarlet Snake was an extremely rare variety often used in medicine and was mentioned in Destiny’s Tome. Su Yang had not expected to encounter one on Accumulated Cloud Mountain, so of course, he had to pursue it and find out more.

The little creature could fly; the Scarlet Snake could not, but it still managed to slither down the face of the cliff.

Following behind, Su Yang quickly spotted a hidden cave entrance in the cliffside. Upon reaching it, the Scarlet Snake quickly slipped into the cave.

The little guy naturally followed right in, but Su Yang was a bit stunned; the entrance was only as big as a basketball, and he certainly didn’t have the ability to get through it.

However, when Su Yang arrived at the entrance, he realized he had worried too much. The entrance wasn’t small at all, but most of it was concealed, giving the impression that it was only basketball-sized. The actual entrance was two meters wide, definitely large enough for a person to enter without an issue.

Su Yang entered the cave and found that the little guy and the Scarlet Snake were already out of sight. He wasn’t in a hurry, though, following the path while also observing his surroundings, wondering if there was anything special about this place.

The cave was quite deep. After walking for five minutes, Su Yang suddenly heard a deep croaking sound from the side.

Turning his head, he saw a snow-white frog crouched not far from where he stood.

”A Snow Frog!?” Su Yang was even more surprised, as this creature was as rare as the Scarlet Snake. Its medicinal properties were no less significant than those of the Scarlet Snake. Could there be such treasures inside this cave?

Su Yang reached out and with a grab in the air, he caught the Snow Frog and put it into his Storage Bracelet. He had obtained this bracelet from the Divine Farmer Sect’s Old Site, and it was excellent for storing items.

Continuing onward, Su Yang discovered several other rare items inside, including both plants and animals, but without exception, they were all very rare medicinal materials. Any one of them was worth no less than the Five Element Crimson Fruit.

This made Su Yang even more puzzled. How could so many rare medicinal materials all be in one place? Could this be the Medical Saint Sect’s hidden stash?

On second thought, this didn’t make sense. The Medical Saint Sect used to be about as powerful as the Divine Farmer Sect, so their stock should be roughly equal. Yet, the hidden stash here was much larger than that of the entire Divine Farmer Sect.

And according to the Medical Saint Sect members, although Gongye Liang had completed their sect’s succession, he hadn’t made any other achievements. This meant that these medicinal materials definitely weren’t brought back by him. So, what’s the story with these medicinal materials?

Su Yang continued to move forward, and along the way, he indeed came across several more types of medicinal materials.

At last, Su Yang reached the end of the cave. Here, the Little Turtle was being ganged up on by three Scarlet Snakes. Most crucially, on the stone platform at the end, a bigger Scarlet Snake was coiled, watching the little guy with eager eyes, as if intending to swallow Little Turtle whole!

The three Scarlet Snakes were all spewing flames from their mouths, trying to burn Little Turtle with the fire. However, Little Turtle didn’t seem to be bothered by the flames at all. In fact, he seemed quite comfortable as he shook his head and charged at one of the Scarlet Snakes.

Clearly frightened of Little Turtle, this Scarlet Snake tried to escape, but it was too late. Little Turtle suddenly sped up and pounced directly onto the snake. The Scarlet Snake, as if weighed down by a heavy burden, crashed heavily to the ground.

The Scarlet Snake couldn’t struggle free, and the other two rushed over to assist, but it was already too late. Little Turtle opened its mouth and bit down on the seven inches of the Scarlet Snake.

The Scarlet Snake immediately stopped moving, and as the other two attacked, intending to swallow Little Turtle, spikes suddenly protruded from its shell. One of the Scarlet Snakes bit down and retreated in a panic from the pain, while the other didn’t dare to move an inch.

Little Turtle, unfazed, proceeded to absorb all the blood from the Scarlet Snake’s body. Since the Scarlet Snake grew by absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, it was the best tonic for Little Turtle. No wonder Little Turtle had been chasing after it all along.

Little Turtle must be the offspring of a Divine Beast and needed to absorb a lot of Spiritual Energy to grow. The Five Element Crimson Fruit was its food, but the little guy was greedy – seeing the Scarlet Snake, it naturally wanted to change its taste.

Even, Su Yang suspected that Little Turtle didn’t deal with the Scarlet Snake halfway because it wanted to force it to flee back here, and then Little Turtle could pursue it and catch them all at once, making a hearty meal out of them.
