Chapter 641

In fact, when Zhang Xiaohua had used her Divine Sense to scan the stone pillar in the middle of the cold pond, she had already scanned the other places in the cold pond. However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know how to use the water escape technique and her Divine Sense didn't have any special abilities in the water. Moreover, the water in this cold pond was abnormally cold. Even her Divine Sense could only immerse into the water for about one foot so it was impossible to discover any abnormalities.

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua wouldn't rashly fly to the middle of the cold pond without making any preparations.

But when the strange thing in the cold pond flew out, it still gave Zhang Xiaohua a shock.

In her Divine Sense, a long black snake which was twice as big as the Five Coloured Snake that she saw in the "Orchid Rainforest" previously and its speed was also twice as fast as the Five Coloured Snake. It bit towards Zhang Xiaohua's leg.

The most bizarre thing was that on the head of this long snake, there was a huge sarcoma. On both sides of the thick snake body, there were four fleshy wings which were the same as the previous bat's wings.

Seeing the strange snake, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. Her body instantly turned and flew towards the upper right swiftly. But that strange snake missed its target and its body didn't fall into the cold pond normally. Instead, its tail slapped the water surface and the four wings on its body flapped. It changed its direction extremely agilely and chased after Zhang Xiaohua's figure.

Now that Zhang Xiaohua was proficient in using the Imperial Wind Technique, she could stay in the air for a long time so she wasn't nervous. Instead, she took out the Dream Chasing Sword from her bosom and threw it into the air. She made a gesture and directly pierced towards the seven inches of the strange snake. When the strange snake saw this, it hesitated slightly but still moved its body, trying to avoid the small sword.

Zhang Xiaohua was familiar with the Dream Weaving Swordplay and after a few rounds, she found a flaw and struck the strange snake's seven inches from the side!

But before Zhang Xiaohua could rejoice, the strange snake's head shook and the tip of the small sword actually slid off the strange snake's body without hurting it at all.

Zhang Xiaohua was even more shocked. Although this Dream Chasing Sword wasn't too sharp, the force behind the stab was still very impressive. It was actually easily dealt with by this strange snake. Could it be that there was some mystery on this snake's skin?

Hence, Zhang Xiaohua made a series of gestures and controlled the small sword to attack like a violent storm. Not long later, it hit the strange snake several times but every time, it was the same. That strange snake only needed to shake slightly and it was able to dissipate the force of the small sword, causing the Dream Chasing Sword to be unable to achieve any effect.

Seeing that the small sword wasn't effective, Zhang Xiaohua could only keep it and took out the Jade Water Sword. Injecting vital Qi, it flashed out another three feet sword ray. When that strange snake saw the brilliance of the sword ray, it seemed to be a little afraid and hesitated slightly when it attacked. Zhang Xiaohua was elated when she saw this and slashed towards the strange snake's head. The strange snake was also agile and easily dodged the attack. Zhang Xiaohua was a little annoyed. She didn't know many sword techniques and the most she was familiar with was the few nameless swordplay that Elder Yu had taught her. Hence, she didn't care about anything else and brandished her sword to slash. Although the nameless swordplay was used as a flying sword, but after some modifications, it could still be used. After fighting for a while, Zhang Xiaohua's sword avoided the strange snake's body.

A "clang" sound was heard and there were actually some sparks on the strange snake's body. Even so, there wasn't a single mark left on the black snake's skin. That strange snake was sent flying to the other side of the cold pond by Zhang Xiaohua's sword. It shook its huge snake head and there was a hint of mockery in its eyes. The snake that wasn't in the water swung its body and swam towards Zhang Xiaohua's side.

Zhang Xiaohua slashed the strange snake away with his sword, but his body landed on the edge of the cold pool. Seeing that the strange snake was still unharmed, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "How can this strange snake be so resistant?"

However, when Zhang Xiaohua looked at the pool of water that was so dark that his Divine Sense could not penetrate it and was overflowing with cold Qi, he came to a realization. This pool of water was so strange that he did not know how many strange things there were in it. This strange snake had lived in the cold pool for an unknown number of years, and its skin was immersed in the pool all day long. It would be strange if there was nothing strange about it.

However, if she wanted to obtain the strange item in the stone bowl at the center of the cold pond, this strange snake would be the first to be dealt with. She couldn't use the Jade Water Sword and Chasing Dream and she didn't bring the Great Wisdom Sword with her. This … what should she do?

While she was thinking, the strange snake had already swam over from the water. When it saw that Zhang Xiaohua seemed to be angry from embarrassment, it opened its mouth and flicked its red tongue. Then, it flew out from the water and bit towards Zhang Xiaohua's chest.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiaohua took out a few jade talismans that were like small ingots and threw them at the strange snake's surroundings. Just like how she attacked the large bat earlier, a few wisps of red flames instantly burned the strange snake's body. The flames seemed to be effective against the strange snake. The strange snake felt a wave of pain and swayed its body a few times. However, the flames refused to be extinguished. Hence, it plunged its head downwards and its entire body was submerged in the water. With a sizzling sound, the flames that had always worked were extinguished by the water.

Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head. It was common knowledge that water could subdue fire. She originally thought that the flames in her jade talismans would be of some use. However, the water in the cold pond was even more powerful. These few "ingots" could be considered to have been wasted.

At this moment, the strange snake swam over again. It seemed to be even more unscrupulous.

"Aiyo!" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly slapped her forehead and said to herself, "I forgot that I had just refined a 'Dragon Binding Ring'."

In fact, Zhang Xiaohua could not be blamed. This was an era where martial arts flourished. Celestial artifacts and the like could not be used. Zhang Xiaohua's usual method of facing enemies was to use her small sword and fists. At the very least, she would throw out the ingots' jade talismans. This was something that she had never used before.

At this moment, the strange snake flew over again. Zhang Xiaohua smiled as she took out the pair of 'Dragon Binding Rings' from her money pouch. She casually threw them into the air, then formed a seal and hit the jade bracelets. After receiving Zhang Xiaohua's true energy, the jade bracelets enlarged with a "hu" sound. Then, under Zhang Xiaohua's command, they flew towards the strange snake.

When the strange snake saw the jade bracelets suddenly enlarged, it seemed to be taken aback. When it saw the jade bracelets flying over, it hurriedly dodged. Unfortunately, with Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense, there was no way it could dodge. After dodging a few times, the jade bracelets caught on its head. The strange snake struggled with all its might, sinking its head into the water. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and waved her hand. The 'Dragon Binding Ring' immediately flew out from the cold pond, dragging the strange snake to the open space beside Zhang Xiaohua.

The strange snake was more than three feet long. Under the brilliance of the Luminous Pearl, its dark snake skin reflected a faint light. Although it was suspended in the air, it still twisted its body and continued to struggle. However, the 'Dragon Binding Ring' seemed to be attached to the snake's body. No matter how it twisted, it could not move an inch.

As it neared, the strange snake's eyes flashed with hatred. It opened its mouth and with a "hiss" sound, a black, fragrant venom was sprayed towards Zhang Xiaohua's face. Before the venom even reached her body, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little dizzy just by smelling it. Needless to say, it was extremely poisonous.

The strange snake was at its wit's end. When it spat out the venom, Zhang Xiaohua easily dodged it. The sarcoma on the strange snake's head dimmed and it seemed to have shrunk quite a bit. Furthermore, the strange snake also stopped struggling and looked haggard.

After dodging the venom, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She formed a seal with her right hand and hit the venom that had yet to fall to the ground. The venom immediately condensed into a pitch-black pearl and flew in front of Zhang Xiaohua's eyes. Didn't the jade slip in her belt mention something about a 'Poison Dragon Pill'?

Although she did not know what it was used for, it should be the venom of the snake. Hehe, if this strange snake's venom could not be considered venomous, then there was nothing in this world that could be considered venomous.

Carefully taking out a jade bottle from her bosom, Zhang Xiaohua kept the venom inside. She then formed a seal at the mouth of the bottle and sealed it firmly. Only then did she keep it in her money pouch.

Looking at the dispirited strange snake lying on the ground, Zhang Xiaohua flew up again and headed straight for the stone bowl. This time, there was no accident. It seemed that there was only the strange snake in this cold pool.

Zhang Xiaohua stood there in midair and took out a jade bottle from her bosom. The seal in her right hand continuously formed a seal on the lotion in the stone bowl. Not long after, the lotion gradually condensed together and formed a fist-sized sphere. However, Zhang Xiaohua was still not satisfied. She pointed her finger and the drop that was still stuck on the huge stone pillar flew up and merged into the sphere of lotion. At this point, the entire stone bowl could not be considered to have a single drop left.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and pointed at the jade bottle in her hand. The lotion directly turned into a thin thread and entered the jade bottle.

Zhang Xiaohua proudly placed a seal on the jade bottle and kept it in her money pouch. She thought to herself, "This celestial technique is indeed magical. Even such a simple seal is meticulously crafted. If I were to go back to ancient times, I would be comparable to the oil seller described in the books!"

Next, it was time to collect the two fruits on the black and white vines. These strange fruits were not recorded in the "Hundred Herb Compendium", let alone Zhang Xiaohua who knew what they were used for. However, she was a little embarrassed. Should she put the two fruits together?

Or separately?

Sigh, it had to be said that Zhang Xiaohua was a little cocky!

Taking out a jade box from her bosom, Zhang Xiaohua cast a spell on the black fruit. With a wave of her hand, the fruit flew straight into the jade box. However, the moment the black fruit left the black and white vine, the black color on the vine immediately faded, and the entire vine turned white. The white color only lasted for a moment, and it turned into a dead gray color. What was even more bizarre was that the white fruit also fell from the vine, falling straight into the pitch-black cold pond.

In the open space far away, the strange snake that was crawling on the ground actually had a look of helplessness and hatred in its eyes.
