Chapter 25 Dragon Claw Blood Orchid
Brandon lowered his body and began to crawl forward. From a distance, he didn't feel anything, but as he got closer, he felt that the snakes were getting bigger and bigger.
He slowly crawled forward, stopped about fifty metres away from the deep pool, and casually dealt with a rattlesnake that was about to attack him.
He hid his body in a bush and looked through the layers of leaves. There were about four or five giant snakes in the entire deep pool. Their thick scales glowed with strange colours in the sunlight. Almost every one of them was the size of the one killed earlier. They seemed to be fighting for something.
From time to time, he was eager to try the cliff. At this time, a breeze blew by, and something seemed to be falling on the cliff. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Because the distance was too far, he could only see clearly that it was a red flake, drifting into the deep pool with the breeze.
The group of snakes in the deep pool suddenly became commotion and swam toward the fallen red flakes. Four or five giant snakes suddenly crowded into a pile, wrestling with each other and splashing water.
At this time, a black snake more than half a metre thick slowly crawled out from a huge hole next to the deep pool. The snake's scales all over its body were pitch black and grotesque, and it had two long protrusions on its head, a lump of meat that looked like a tumour.
When the black snake saw those snakes in the deep pool actually fighting for its food, it couldn't help but open its huge mouth, roared angrily, spreading an aura of death everywhere. There was a row of sharp teeth in its huge mouth, which looked particularly ferocious.
Upon hearing the giant roar of the black snake, the other giant snakes turned quiet, not daring to move. It seemed that they wanted to wait until their boss had eaten the rest.
Seeing the black snake, Brandon began to feel a little nervous. The black snake was probably about to evolve into something mythical and monstrous. It must be very powerful, and there were five younger brothers.
Brandon was already feeling faintly discouraged. He decided to take a look first and then deal with them after he became stronger. Moreover, he also vaguely felt that the things falling down might not be simple. Otherwise, this deep pool would not breed so many huge pythons.
Maybe It's some kind of mythical treasure.
As the earth's spiritual energy became increasingly scarce, and human pollution and destruction become more and more serious, the number of mythical treasures had become less and less, and their quality had gradually declined.
With the development of human society, there remained fewer and fewer human beings who could cultivate up to the innate realm. At least he had never seen it. He heard from the old monk that there may be masters of the innate realm in the Shaolin Elders Academy, but he had only heard about it.
Since he encountered something that may be a mythical treasure here, he would never let it go.
The black snake slowly swam into the pool, and the surrounding giant snakes retreated one after another. Its huge body caused the pool to churn.
After the black snake ate most of the red flakes, it slowly crawled back into the huge hole, probably for digestion. The giant snakes in the pool began to writhe again, raising water columns to the sky from time to time, and Brandon's heart began to move again!
Since they were waiting for those genius treasures to fall in the deep pool, they definitely were not able to climb up. In this case, he might as well climb the cliff from another place, and he would definitely be able to get that thing.
He began to slowly retreat, away from the deep pool, like crawling to the other side of the deep pool. After a while, he ran to the bottom of the cliff. This cliff was very steep. And because of the water vapour drifting from the waterfall in the distance, the cliff was very humid.
There were some tenacious plants growing on the cliff walls, which looked lush and green. He planned to start from here and slowly climb towards the waterfall. The task was a bit huge, but it had to be this way for safety first.
Lizards are originally relatives of geckos. Although lizards are definitely not as strong as geckos in climbing cliffs, they are still passable. Moreover, he was so powerful that he could climb up the cliff as if he were on flat ground.
In fact, there were some skills in climbing a cliff. For example, during the climbing process, you have to find a fulcrum and find a way to maintain your body balance.
The most basic method is the "three-point fixation" method, which means using the four limbs participating in the climb, and look for the climbing fulcrum at the other point in the forward direction; at the same time, you must evenly distribute your physical strength, observe while climbing, try your best to rest in easy places, and quickly pass through difficult places, so that the whole body is in a state of rhythmic advancement.
In his previous life, he was a special forces soldier, and climbing cliffs was a common practice.
About half an hour later, he had climbed to the vicinity of the waterfall. The place was filled with water vapour and the rocks were covered with various mosses, making them very slippery. He had to be cautious, holding on to the rock with his nails and climbing slowly.
There are many small trees growing around, and many unnamed flowers are blooming wantonly. His body slowly approached the waterfall, and he could already see the pool below.
The giant snake inside stared closely at the cliff, hoping that something would fall from it again. He looked next to the giant snake's line of sight. It was a tree more than three metres high.
The tree was full of blood-red flowers, like blood-red orchids, and some petals had fallen off. The trunks were covered with scale-like bark, layered on top of each other.
Roots like dragon claws dug into a huge rock. This is an amazing plant. He was excited and slowly approached the small tree. A few minutes later, he finally reached the huge rock where the tree was.
There was not a single other plant around the small tree. The closer he got to the small tree, the more miraculous the tree felt to him. This plant was truly stunningly beautiful. But the tree was a bit tall, and it was obviously out of reach for him, so he started to climb towards the small tree.
The giant snakes below saw someone robbing them of their treasures, and began to stir violently. They rushed up from the water from time to time, but they were simply out of reach. Their violent movements created huge waves.
At this time, the black snake king also heard the noise and crawled out of the cave. When he saw him, he let out a loud roar. Brandon, who was climbing a tree, clearly felt a sense of oppression coming towards him.
The black snake king began to get angry. It quickly swam towards the cliff, its body clinging to the cliff, and all the scales on its abdomen stood up. It clung to the cliff tightly and began to climb up.
Brandon didn't know how long it was, and its body was exposed out of the water. He estimated it to be more than ten metres. He felt that the ferocious black giant was getting closer and closer, and he could clearly see the fine scales on its head.
His heartbeat began to speed up, and he couldn't help but speed up. I must get the blood orchid before the black python arrives.
