Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 460 Eight-Headed Thunder Serpent, Divine Beast Xiangliu?

That's a very famous ancient mythical beast.

"That's right, but of course, it may not be. Perhaps it just has some of Xiang Liu's bloodline."

“Because the Xiangliu has become extinct and hasn’t appeared for thousands of years.” Lu Yanran spread her hands and said, “However, when I was looking up ancient books, I found that there is another legend about Leishe Mountain.”

“It is said that eight thunder serpents once descended from the sky here, hence the name. Not only do these eight thunder serpents possess the power of thunder, but their blood is also extremely potent. So I now strongly suspect that these scales are descendants of those eight thunder serpents,” Lu Yanran continued.

“Eight-headed Thunder Serpent.” Gu Jiancheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn’t know what it was, his intuition told him that Lu Yanran’s guess was probably correct.

"Fine, if that thing is still there, we'll eventually find it. Let's break the formation first."

After returning the scale to Lu Yanran, Gu Jiancheng went back to the stone platform.

"I need one hundred fairy crystals."

“I have some.” Upon hearing this, Lu Yanran immediately took out over a thousand immortal crystals and gave them to Gu Jiancheng.

She was wealthy and powerful; these immortal crystals meant nothing to her.

"Okay, wait a moment."

After embedding hundreds of immortal crystals into the magic array, Gu Jiancheng used his divine sense to inject it into the array.

hum!

In an instant, the stone platform began to tremble violently, and the restrictions on the stone platform were activated, emitting bursts of dazzling light.

Lu Yanran and Xue Qiangwei watched in astonishment.

As the vibrations of the restriction intensified, the light emanating from it became increasingly dazzling.

But after only a dozen breaths, the protective glow on the stone platform suddenly dissipated.

"Ok?"

Lu Yanran was taken aback, then asked, "Young Master..."

The light of this magic array dissipated so quickly, could it have failed?

"Hehe, don't worry, it's already broken."

Gu Jiancheng simply smiled. After he finished speaking, the stone platform beneath their feet hummed, and an opening appeared before the three of them.

"Young Master, has he... broken through the formation?"

But this left Yanran speechless!

She had spent seven days trying to figure out the magic array, but Gu Jiancheng only took a dozen breaths.

Isn't this difference a bit too big?

She even felt that Gu Jianchen's mastery of formations was even more incomprehensible than his alchemy!

"Hmm, this isn't too difficult."

"Miss Lu, please clear the way?"

Gu Jiancheng raised his hand and smiled.

"nature!"

Lu Yanran smiled, then immediately summoned a celestial sword and flew into the cave.

With the highest cultivation level, she naturally had to be at the forefront.

"Rose, you follow me, I'll stay behind you." Gu Jiancheng then looked at Xue Qiangwei.

“Okay!” Xue Qiangwei nodded and then followed into the cave.

However, her weapon had been destroyed before, and she only had an ordinary spear with her when she came out.

Although she knew she was the weakest in terms of combat strength, she still put on a battle-ready posture.

Gu Jiancheng followed behind the two women, his hands behind his back.

Although he was positioned at the back, his powerful divine sense had already begun to spread forward.

Beyond this opening lies a wider passage, filled with magical arrays and totems.

Moreover, the level must be higher.

These formations are not killing formations, but are used to stabilize the passage.

Therefore, even a Celestial Immortal's cultivation level would not cause any damage to this passage.

"Scales!"

But at that moment, Lu Yanran in front of her exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Jiancheng looked over and saw that Lu Yanran had picked up a jet-black scale from the ground, and an even denser poisonous mist was spreading from the scale.

However, there was also a white light flashing on Lu Yanran's palm, preventing the poison from contaminating her.

Gu Jiancheng stared intently, then said, "Miss, be careful. These scales were just shed recently. There's something alive here!"

"What did you say?"

Lu Yanran raised an eyebrow, but before she could speak again, a piercing screech suddenly echoed throughout the passage from the darkness ahead!

She suddenly turned around and felt a gust of foul wind rushing towards her. The next moment, a huge black snake, more than ten feet long, suddenly darted out from the wind.

Lu Yanran was shocked, as she had not sensed any other aura before.

So she quickly brandished her immortal sword, and streaks of white sword energy burst forth instantly!

Click!

But when the sword energy struck the giant snake, it only produced sparks.

Her sword energy couldn't even break through the thing's protective scales!?

斯！

What horrified and enraged her even more was that the giant snake opened its bloody mouth and spewed out an extremely dense cloud of poisonous mist, heading straight for them.

"Be careful!"

Lu Yanran's expression changed drastically, and a ferocious look flashed across her face.

This seemed to make her lose face in front of Gu Jiancheng, after all, she was an inner disciple of Hundred Flowers Valley!

"Beast, die!"

Immediately, a profound aura burst forth from her body, and icy power instantly filled the passage.

The poisonous mist was instantly frozen, and at the same time, the immortal sword in her hand instantly split into hundreds of sword lights, like a magnificent ice lotus, sweeping towards the giant serpent!

puff puff!

This time, the sword light successfully broke through the giant serpent's defenses, and the serpent's body was frozen in place.

After all the sword light had raged, the giant serpent suddenly shattered into countless ice blocks and collapsed in the passage.

"Humph!"

Lu Yanran sheathed her immortal sword, then looked at Gu Jiancheng and Xue Qiangwei and asked, "Are you alright?"

She wasn't worried about Gu Jiancheng, but Xue Qiangwei might not be able to block the poisonous fog.

"I am okay."

Xue Qiangwei shook her head. In fact, the moment the giant snake appeared, she saw Gu Jiancheng raise his hand, his profound aura isolating all the poisonous mist, and she was always safe.

"That's good. This is the Hundred Flower Pill from my Hundred Flower Valley. It can ward off all poisons. You can use it first, just in case." Lu Yanran was still worried, so she took out a snow-white pill from her ring and handed it to Xue Qiangwei.

Only after receiving Gu Jiancheng's affirmation did the latter swallow the pill.

"Miss Lu's combat strength is indeed extraordinary, but relying solely on you, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the rest of the journey."

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng suddenly spoke up.

"Hehe, Young Master Gu, don't underestimate me." Lu Yanran smiled, though she was quite unconvinced.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a piercing buzzing sound came from the dark passage ahead. The sound was so dense that it sent chills down one's spine.

The next moment, she discovered that streaks of blood-red light had appeared in the darkness.

Each pair of red dots represents the giant serpent!

There were dozens of them!

Has this really stirred up a hornet's nest?
