Chapter 553: A Unique Pairing And An Alternative Method (1/2)

Lin Mu was sure that the Black water snake was here to attack the Fire Fang Snake, but he instead saw it bringing a corpse of another beast instead. It placed it at the side of the Fire Fang Snake who was resting with its eyes closed.

~Hiss~

The Black Water Snake woke up the Fire Fang Snake because of its movement.

~hiss~

The fire fang snake weakly hissed before looking at the beast's corpse. It then lifted its head from the large tree hollow and revealed the rest of its body. The Fire Fang Snake was actually quite big, but because it was all coiled up, it was hard to see the rest of its body.

The Black Water snake was smaller compared to it. The Fire Fang snake opened its mouth and swallowed the beast's corpse whole.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mu realized that the Black Water Snake was probably the mate of the Fire Fang Snake.

”Strange…” Lin Mu muttered upon seeing this.

He felt a bit confused and took out the Jade slip to go through the beast records he had.

”Hmm… Fire Fang Snakes primarily live in the southern part of the Great Zhou continent near the Scorch Sand Desert.” Lin Mu read.

He continued reading more about the Fire Fang Snake and learned a few more things such as the fact that the Fire Fang Snakes make couples when they are young. But seeing as this one was at the peaks stage of the core condensation realm, Lin Mu reckoned it was brought here when it was much weaker.

”Looks like when the Ripple Mist sect brought it here, it must have been a child. They let it off here to grow, and it formed a pair with the Black Water snake when it could not find another Fire Fang Snake.” Lin Mu stated.

”This is indeed a rather unique pairing, I must say. Both the beasts are of opposite elements and yet they managed to pair up.” Xukong said, finding it interesting as well.

Lin Mu nodded his head and observed the two beasts for a while.

The Black Water Snake was weaker than the Fire Fang Snake and was at the late stage of the Core condensation realm instead. Seeing its submissive attitude with the Fire Fang Snake and its cultivation base, it was evident that the Fire Fang Snake was the one who had probably forced it to pair up with it.

While Lin Mu was watching them, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

”Senior, beasts have the same kind of a breakthrough as humans when they reach the Nascent Soul realm, right?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes, mostly it is the same. Though beasts are likely to have stronger bodies than most other Nascent Soul realm cultivators at the same level as them.” Xukong replied.

”Then is their tribulation lightning the same too?” Lin Mu asked.
