Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1616: Chapter 372: One as Wife, One as Concubine (Part 2)

The medicinal value of bamboo shoots is greater and more precious.

Chen Jie wanted to see if there were any exposed bamboo shoots.

With that thought, Chen Jie quickly arrived in front of the Blue Snake Pattern Bamboo, looking around cautiously. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiusi’s luck was quite good; there were indeed the bamboo shoots he needed.

At this moment, there were already two small bamboo shoot tips poking out of the ground.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jie couldn’t help but smile slightly. Haha, not bad, my luck today is pretty good.

He flipped his hand to take out a small hoe from the storage ring, squatted down, and started digging for the bamboo shoots.

Chen Jie really disliked fighting and killing; he actually enjoyed the feeling of farming. See, digging bamboo shoots out of the ground, isn’t it an interesting task?

With a smile on his lips, Chen Jie diligently dug away.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, a large blue python was quietly inching closer from behind, hissing.

Watching the blue python approach, Chen Jiusi seemed completely indifferent, fully absorbed in plucking the Blue Snake Pattern Bamboo’s shoots.

The python, seeing no reaction from Chen Jie, its sly yellow eyes were filled with killing intent. Damn two-legged monkey, daring to steal my bamboo shoots, hiss hiss...

You’re dead!

Whoosh!

With that sound, the python lunged directly at Chen Jie, believing in the certainty of its success. But at the moment the python struck, Chen Jie, as if he had eyes on his back, deftly dodged, and a short blade swiftly appeared in his hand.

He immediately placed the blade in front of himself, as the massive blue python charged forward, its large body carrying frightening inertia.

Then the giant snake suddenly lunged at the blade, its eyes filled with shock and fear, yet it was too late to dodge. The horrific blade instantly sliced through its snake skin.

With a tearing sound, a fully automated snake skinning machine was born.

Under overwhelming inertia, the python was completely eviscerated by the sharp Chrysalis Blade.

From start to finish, the entire process flowed seamlessly, like a river coursing through its path, efficiently dealing with itself.

The python couldn’t quite grasp how it could be struck down so swiftly.

Indeed, how could it happen so fast? It wasn’t prepared at all.

Chen Jie, expressionless, withdrew the blade from his hand, swiftly searching through the python’s abdomen to find a pure blue snake gallbladder.

Chen Jie took out a Jade Box to store the gallbladder, then calmly resumed digging for bamboo shoots, never sparing a glance at the blue python.

The python, even in death, couldn’t comprehend why the two-legged monkey reacted so swiftly; it had barely formed an aggressive intent!

It was quite understandable, as Chen Jie had long been aware of the blue snake’s existence.

The Chang Chun Valley’s pharmacopeia recorded that Blue Snake Pattern Bamboo generally was accompanied by a blue snake.

Therefore, Chen Jie kept a close watch on the snake, having noticed it when it appeared behind him, merely waiting for it to make its move.

And indeed, the snake did not disappoint, promptly attacking.

Chen Jie’s actions were naturally deft, skinning and extracting the gallbladder in swift succession.

The gallbladder of this blue snake was one of the top ingredients for the Detoxification Elixir, additionally useful for refining over a dozen types of supplemental medicine. Its medicinal value could be compared to Dragon Blood Ganoderma.

It was a top-tier medicinal herb as well.

Chen Jie realized that this Ruins was truly a paradise for pharmacists. These herbs, you’d be hard-pressed to find them even after traversing the Three Mountains and Five Mountains.

But here, they were within easy reach.

After collecting the bamboo shoots, Chen Jie stored them in his Storage Ring, looking at the large snake lying there. Apart from the gallbladder, its snake skin, snake meat, snake bones, and snake venom were all valuable treasures, almost impossible to purchase outside.

Especially the blue snake skin, which was extremely rare. Unfortunately, Chen Jie’s Storage Ring wasn’t large enough, so he could only take the most precious parts.

Rising to his feet, Chen Jie stretched his muscles and thought he might as well wander through this Blue Forest; he might find more Blue Snake Pattern Bamboo.

However, he couldn’t waste too much time, considering they had many tasks to accomplish on this trip; the Qiankun Great Method was yet to be found. They couldn’t neglect their main objectives.

But where had Han Ling’er and Liu Caidie gone?

Chen Jie pondered, glancing at the bewildering Blue Forest, wondering why those guys didn’t leave a mark for him.

Chen Jie felt quite helpless.

Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed from the forest in the distance, followed by the collapse of several trees.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jie’s eyes narrowed, and he determined the direction, charging toward it.

...

At the other end of the forest, chaos reigned. Han Ling’er lay blasted to the ground, and standing across was Du Xiong, son of the Zoroastrian Sect Dharma King Du Zundao.

Liu Caidie looked at Du Xiong and said, ”Du Xiong, are you insane, daring to strike at Ling’er?”

Du Xiong’s gaze was cold as he said, ”Ming King just sent the order; you have all defied the Ming King’s command, entering without permission. The Dharma King ordered that if we find you, kill without mercy!”

Liu Caidie, hearing this, opened her eyes wide and said, ”Du Xiong, you intend to kill me?”
