Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Ruyi Golden Snake

The decoration in the cave mansion was simple and unostentatious, yet the space inside was vast, spanning hundreds of zhang. Even with the enormous skeletons lying on the ground, there didn’t appear to be the slightest bit of crowding.

The cave mansion was vast and silent, but if one listened closely, they might occasionally hear a few faint cracking sounds.

However, the sounds were extremely slight, inaudible unless one paid close attention.

Qin Feng now had no time to consider whether the place was dangerous or not, as his Divine Sense wasn’t powerful enough to sweep through the entire cave mansion. He simply followed the gaps between the skeletons, running towards the depths of the cave mansion.

Passing by those skeletons, he felt an invisible pressure as if daring to approach those now skeletal remains would bring about the danger of death, which made him even more cautious to avoid getting too close.

As he ventured deeper, he found that although there were humanoid skeletons present, there were none from the Human Clan.

...

Those that resembled the Human Clan were either several zhang tall or had horns growing on their heads and sharp claws for hands—there were many differences.

Qin Feng thought that perhaps the Human Clan Cultivators had emerged victoriously back then, which could explain why the Human Clan skeletons were collected, but the survivors eventually died in other battles and never returned to clean up this place.

The entry of Zhuo Feifan and his group made Qin Feng feel helpless in his heart. It seemed that guy wouldn’t rest until he was dead.

Since there’s no way out for me, we might as well die together.

A ruthless gleam flashed through Qin Feng’s eyes as he raised his hand to summon his treasured magic artifact, the Demon Slaying Saber, and ferociously struck down towards the ground.

With a clangorous boom that echoed back and forth in the deathly quiet cave mansion, Zhuo Feifan and the others who had just entered were startled, and even the soft sounds from the depths of the mansion seemed to come to an abrupt halt.

Zhuo Bufan and the others anxiously looked around.

Once they realized that no Array Formation Restriction had been triggered, they burst into laughter.

Qin Feng was somewhat dumbfounded, controlling the Demon Slaying Saber to continuously strike the ground with several more clanging blows, but still unable to trigger any prohibition.

He abruptly looked up towards the high platform in the deepest part of the cave mansion, quickly leaping up to it, his Demon Slaying Saber cutting through the air with fierce Sword Energy as it vehemently slashed at the platform, even splitting a Jade Table on top of it. Still, he was unable to activate the Array of the cave mansion.

Behind him, Zhuo Feifan and the others felt greatly relieved.

It seemed that the Array of the cave mansion either had its power exhausted or destroyed, or the kid from the Beast Taming Sect was simply too weak to trigger the great Array.

Just as Qin Feng was feeling desperate, he suddenly saw a foot-long streak of Golden Light shoot out from a light-golden corpse not far away, flying toward him as fast as lightning.

What is that?

Qin Feng was taken aback, hastily gathering his True Yuan to deliver a powerful strike with his saber at the incoming Golden Light.

Clang…

The sound of metal clashing rang out, sending sparks in every direction.

Qin Feng felt as though he had been hit by a tremendous force, his body involuntarily retreating three steps backward, nearly losing his footing and tumbling to the ground.

Before he could recover, he saw that the streak of Golden Light that he had just flung away suddenly made an arc in the air and flew back at him.

Qin Feng raised his saber to meet the attack, but the Golden Light was not only extremely hard, showing no fear of the strikes from his Demon Slaying Saber, its speed was also as quick as lightning. It circled around him several times, and soon Qin Feng was struggling to keep up with its speed.

He couldn’t help feeling frustrated: Why wasn’t there a No-Fly Array set up in this cave mansion?

As he delivered another slash with his saber, the Golden Light seemed to have figured out his capabilities. This time, it didn’t dodge but instead flew straight into the saber glow, lightly coiling around the Demon Slaying Saber.

Then there was a snap, and Qin Feng was horrified to discover a soybean-sized notch bitten into his treasured magic artifact, the Demon Slaying Saber.

And the notch was expanding rapidly.

At this rate, he feared his Demon Slaying Saber would be useless within a few breaths.

At the same time, he finally saw what the entity behind the golden light was.

It was none other than a small snake, glittering all over with golden light.

This snake was only about a foot in length, had a pair of wings on its back, and its scale armor was as if cast from refined gold, delicate and beautiful.

But this was not the main point; the key was that this tiny golden snake was actually gnawing on his Demon Slaying Saber.

It was treating the sturdy and sharp superior Magic Artifact as food.

The golden snake had fine, sharp fangs unlike ordinary Spiritual Snakes; its teeth were terrifyingly hard, capable of biting into Magic Artifacts.

After the shock passed, Qin Feng quickly regained his senses.

He noticed that the golden snake was only gnawing at the Demon Slaying Saber and did not seem interested in treating him as food, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, with such frightening teeth, it could easily crush even the hardest bones in his body.

“What species of Spiritual Snake is this?” @@novelbin@@

Qin Feng’s mind instantly recalled the various books he had seen in the Sect, especially those on different kinds of Spiritual Snakes from the Jade Scrolls, as he began to speculate.

With wings—could it be a Feathered Snake?

No, that’s wrong. The Feathered Snake’s wings are feathered, and although this small golden snake has wings, they looked somewhat bat-like, only covered with fine golden scales.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he remembered a type of Spiritual Snake recorded in the Ten Thousand Snakes Map of Spiritual Snake Peak.

“Could it be a Ruyi Golden Snake?”

Qin Feng’s heart thumped wildly.

The Ruyi Golden Snake, an Ancient Mutant Species, rarer even than the Swallowing Sky Toad, is considered a legendary existence on the Exotic Beast List compiled by his Sect. Not that it was particularly powerful, but because few had been seen since ancient times.

However, the Ruyi Golden Snake’s abilities were indeed impressive. Its ranking on the Ten Thousand Snakes Map of Spiritual Snake Peak wasn’t much lower than that of the Black Water Mysterious Snake, Ba Snake, Nine-Headed Snake, or Qiankun Giant Snake—it not only had a body with scale armor as tough as refined gold, impervious to Divine Weapons, but it could also soar to the heavens and burrow into the earth, fearless of both water and fire. However, its most formidable Divine Ability was the Ruyi Golden Light.

The Ruyi Golden Light, its Innate Divine Ability since birth, could be strengthened by devouring metals or absorbing Gold Element Spiritual Energy. This golden light could alter to match the heart’s desire, changing to any form in the world and could cut through all sorts of life between heaven and earth.

Moreover, the Ruyi Golden Snake was incredibly fast and small in size, coupled with its hard scale armor, which made it nearly impossible for ordinary Cultivators to deal with if they didn’t have any specific countermeasures.

Regretfully, this type of Spiritual Snake was exceedingly rare. According to records on Spiritual Snake Peak, no Cultivator from his Sect had ever obtained such a Spiritual Snake. On the contrary, during the Ancient Great Tribulation, there were records of Cultivators from the Five Poisons Sect using the Ruyi Golden Snake to achieve great military exploits, which is how it ended up being mentioned in the Ten Thousand Snakes Map.

After the Ancient Great Tribulation had passed, the Beast Taming Sect had no further records of this type of Spiritual Snake. Who would have thought that in this Ancient Battlefield, he would come across a young Ruyi Golden Snake?

Qin Feng was tempted.

If he could tame this Ruyi Golden Snake, even if he couldn’t beat Zhuo Feifan and others, he could still cause them a great deal of trouble. Perhaps he could even take the opportunity to escape from this place amidst the chaos.

It would take others quite some time to refine a Spiritual Beast, but he had the Demon Refining Pot with him. As long as he could get the Ruyi Golden Snake inside, he could directly refine it into his own Demon Beast that would obey his commands.

However, just as he was about to put the Demon Slaying Saber into the Demon Refining Pot, the golden snake instinctively sensed danger. Its thin golden wings on its back trembled slightly, and with a whoosh, it flew several meters away.

Indeed, such advantages were not so easily gained.

Qin Feng sighed lightly in his heart. Although the Ruyi Golden Snake was young and its Spiritual Intelligence low, it still had its instincts. Sensing something was amiss, it promptly flew away, giving him no chance to subdue it and put it into the Demon Refining Pot.

Seeing Zhuo Feifan and the others were about to close in, Qin Feng shook the half-destroyed Demon Slaying Saber in his hand towards the small golden snake, then threw it at Zhuo Feifan and his group.

The Ruyi Golden Snake was as fast as lightning, and immediately gave chase.

It didn’t show much interest in living flesh; to it, the Human Clan in front of it was not as tasty as the saber, so without any hesitation, it pursued.
