Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 112 The Bodhi Serpent and the Ugly Eagle

Chapter 112 The Bodhi Serpent and the Ugly Eagle

"I caught him!"

As the setting sun casts its golden rays upon the withered grass and trees in the forest, it presents a desolate scene.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Mochou proudly raised a snake. The snake was strangely shaped, with fleshy horns on its head and golden scales covering its body, as if it were wearing a crown. It was none other than one of Yang Guo's cheat codes in the original novel—the Bodhi Snake!

However, this snake was clearly not the snake king that fought against the Condor Heroes in the original story. It was only 1.2 meters long and no thicker than a baby's arm. Although its tail was powerful when it swung, it would spontaneously coil around Li Mochou's arm when its head was grabbed, trying to break her arm.

But in terms of strength and endurance, it was nothing more than a small snake that became limp and lifeless after Li Mochou shook it with her true energy.

Upon hearing the news, Wei Wu and Huang Rong arrived. Although their pace appeared leisurely, they quickly reached Li Mochou.

Upon seeing the snake in Li Mochou's hand, Huang Rong instinctively pulled her daughter closer, holding her with one arm and shielding her with the other. Curious yet wary, she asked, "This snake looks stranger than ordinary snakes, but perhaps it's just a local specialty?"

"The gallbladder of this snake can increase strength and enhance true qi. After taking multiple gallbladders, it can even passively break through blocked meridians and open up the Ren and Du meridians. If taken for a long time, it can also change a person's physical constitution and aptitude."

Wei Wu, as expected of a great physician, took the gallbladder of the Bodhi snake from Li Mochou's hand, consumed most of it, and concluded, "Good stuff."

Li Mochou's eyes sparkled as she tossed the snake carcass on the ground and looked at the half-eaten snake gall in Wei Wu's hand, saying, "Is this the rare treasure you were telling me about? How bitter is it?"

"It's acceptable."

Without changing his expression, Wei Wu handed the remaining half of the snake gall to Li Mochou, saying, "Try it."

Li Mochou, without suspicion, took the snake gall and threw it directly into her mouth. Her beautiful face immediately wore a mask of pain, her bright features almost squeezing together, her cheeks puffing out, but she didn't spit it out. She chewed it casually a couple of times and quickly swallowed it. Then she reached for the bamboo tube that Huang Rong had tied to her waist.

Tons tons tons —

"ha!"

Huang Rong: ?

Li Mochou wiped her mouth, feeling as if she had come back to life, and said thankfully, "It's a good thing Chief Huang is here, otherwise I really don't know how I would have been able to swallow something so bitter."

Huang Rong laughed awkwardly.

She was still grateful that Wei Wu hadn't harmed her at all along the way, and as for the fact that he often helped her relieve the pain of breast engorgement—she had gotten used to it and subconsciously ignored it.

Now it seems that the one we need to be wary of is not Wei Wu, but Li Mochou!

This woman actually tried to steal Fu'er's food!

Li Mochou noticed Huang Rong's wariness, coughed awkwardly twice, quickly put the bamboo tube in her hand back on, and pretended to look around, saying, "This snake is a good thing. Chief Huang can eat more to increase his strength."

Huang Rong was intrigued. She looked at Wei Wu, and after Wei Wu nodded, she pursed her lips and began to discuss with Li Mochou. She would provide desserts and meals, and Li Mochou would provide snake gallbladders.

Li Mochou readily agreed.

However, Li Mochou's appetite was too great, and Huang Rong could not satisfy her. Huang Rong had no choice but to start searching for the Bodhi Snake as well, and handed Guo Fu over to Wei Wu.

Wei Wu looked down, and Guo Fu, who had been sleeping soundly in Huang Rong's arms, suddenly opened her eyes. Her small, clear eyes were filled with weariness, and Wei Wu's face was reflected in her clear pupils. Her small face, no bigger than a palm, wrinkled up, and her mouth pursed as if she was about to cry. Then she saw Wei Wu frown.

The face that was about to cry suddenly burst into laughter, giggling happily.

Wei Wu: "————"

He held Guo Fu in his arms, letting the little baby, who couldn't even walk yet, wave her hands wildly in his arms, drooling all over his clothes, playing with his hair, and gently pinching her nose, which would trigger the "crying" button and cause her to burst into tears.

Kids are so annoying!

Wei Wu didn't have much of a wicked thought about raising her to make rice bowls later. He just saw her as a ticket to take a shortcut like Huang Rong. He simply used his inner energy to lift her up in her swaddling clothes and swing her like a swing, which finally calmed the little girl down.

Seeing this, Huang Rong felt relieved and began searching for the Bodhi Snake with peace of mind.

In the past, she would never have put so much effort into practicing martial arts. Compared to meditation and martial arts, Huang Rong would rather cook a few of her signature dishes.

But after the incident in Xiangyang, Huang Rong realized that if she had the ability and strength, she would not need to rely on Wei Wu and would fight her way through Xiangyang herself!

Therefore, she worked even harder than Li Mochou.

However, the Bodhi snake is extremely potent and naturally possesses extraordinary abilities. It makes the same sound when it moves through the grass, but because it is extremely fast, Huang Rong and Li Mochou can only predict its location by judging the movement of the grass.

Huang Rong twirled the Dog-Beating Stick between her fingers, moving slowly without making a sound. Her eyes were fixed on the movement in the grass. Suddenly, she gripped the green jade staff tightly, swung it around, and smashed it down, knocking a Bodhi snake that had leaped out of the grass to the ground.

Before a smile could even appear on her face, a large shadow suddenly loomed over, and with a whoosh, a gust of wind flipped her over, revealing a strangely shaped giant eagle—

This ugly eagle has a curved beak and a large, blood-red fleshy growth on its head. It looks bizarre, but it is extremely robust. When it stands up, it is much larger than a human. Its feathers are sparse and charred black all over its body. It has short wings and thick legs. It looks like it can't fly, but when it jumps, it jumps extremely high.

Huang Rong also had eagles—Guo Jing once kept two white eagles, which are now kept on Peach Blossom Island.

But Huang Rong was inevitably startled when she first saw this ugly eagle.

Fortunately, the ugly eagle was only busy eating the Bodhi snake that Huang Rong had knocked to the ground and didn't eat people, so Huang Rong tiptoed away with her green jade staff.

On the other side, Wei Wu and Li Mochou also witnessed Huang Rong's ordeal.

Li Mochou was very loyal. As she rushed towards Huang Rong's direction, she didn't forget to kill the Bodhi Serpent in her hand and take its elixir. She put the serpent's gall into a bamboo tube, hung it on her waist, and brandished her sword, saying, "Where did this monster come from? Take this sword from me!"

Her nature was naturally unrestrained, like a kite that could easily take flight. First, she had the Songyang Iron Sword passed down by Cao Cao, then she practiced dual cultivation to increase her power, and now she had taken a snake gall, feeling that her strength had increased considerably. When faced with a problem, she naturally abandoned thinking and took action first.

Li Mochou's swordsmanship was remarkable, and her sword energy was fierce.

Unfortunately, the ugly eagle was raised by the sword master Dugu Qiubai and lived on the gall of the Bodhi snake. Although it could not fly, it had amazing strength. With a flap of its short wings, it opened up Li Mochou's sword by taking advantage of the flaw in her sword move and snatched the bamboo tube containing the snake gall from her waist.

With a forceful bite, the bird cracked the bamboo tube and began to happily devour the snake gall.

Seeing this, Li Mochou trembled with rage: "Damn ugly eagle! How dare it eat my gall?!"
