Chapter 16 - The Mysterious Valley (2/2)

In front of hie tree, a tree that was even more ancient than the ones Xu Min had used previously to hide behind However, this tree was so large that its aura was not in any way inferior to the aura he had felt fro Li

Looking at the tree, Xu Min was duh, he slowly understood as going on

Every living creature in the world, even the plants, absorbed essence from the heavens and the earth The her cultivation one had

This was coe for anyone; however, it was very rare that plants ed to cultivate to the point where they had a consciousness And even if they did, they would not be able to transfor a consciousness

It was ent the higher rank they achieved What Xu Min could not understand hy this tree was so obsessed with cultivating To release the sa Li, it was obvious that this tree had reached the Nine-Star Warrior rank, the final destination for cultivators

Although Xu Min did not understand why the tree was cultivating to such extents, he could not help but feel slight pity towards it Even so, he had no intention of advancing He had previously plucked so the essence of the heavens and the earth to the tree It was likely that this massive tree was not friendly towards him

Having coain as he started wondering why there were neither beasts nor huh cultivation base, it was impossible for it to o

Turning around, Xu Min was about to leave when he noticed that he was no longer alone Behind hireen snake and its eyes were shi+ning as the purest gold Its tongue slithered with a sly smile apparent on its face

“Where do you think you are going?” it asked with a slithering voice Xu Min’s heart tre out of the e beasts were capable of speech Only at the very peak of the Advanced Stage beasts could they speak as fluently as this snake Xu Min felt the danger and uncertainty of his current situation

Although he truly wished to flee as quickly as possible, he knew that there was no way for him to outrun the snake The only option he had was to allow the snake to twist its tail around his body and slowly iant tree

Being next to the giant tree, Xu Min felt fear He felt e snake The snake had no reason to have en man as they had never met before There was a chance that he would not stoop so low as to kill a weak One-Star Warrior On the other hand, the tree had a good reason to dislike hi full of reasons to be precise

Gritting his teeth, Xu Min cursed his own curiosity Deep down, he was still fascinated by the large tree and its ability to accept the essence of the heavens and the earth from other flowers Not to e tree that had allowed it to prevail this reat pity towards the tree

Saying nothing, the young boy saw that the tree and the snake see so, Xu Min was placed right in front of the large tree trunk He looked up and saw that it ell over one hundred meters tall, the tallest tree he had ever seen The trunk was a good twentyas Xu Min’s arms

Although the young er, he was unable to hold back his urges His hand caressed the large tree in front of hi this close to the tree, it was easy to tell that he had not overesti as wang Li when it came to raer Unfortunately, it was coth which was just coiling up inside Seeing this, sadness welled up within Xu Min For the first time ever, he thanked the Gods that he had been born a human A human had a much easier path when it came to cultivation

“Don’t touch her!” The snake hissed at Xu Min However, he did not show any signs of attacking and neither did the tree Suddenly, the snake disappeared with swift movements and into the tree’s top Heboy had ever seen before His eyes glistened Although he would regret never getting revenge, he still would feel no re dehts

Looking up in the tree top, Xu Min saw that the snake was co doards at a speed as fast as before The snake moved at a speed so swift that even he was unable to truly follow it Looking at the snake, Xu Min closed his eyes He expected that he was about to be eaten Before heon his shoulder He first opened one eye and saw that nothing had happened yet Then, he proceeded to open the other eye

The world around hie snake In the corner of his eye, he noticed so that caused a shi+ver to run down his spine

On Xu Min’s shoulder, there was a one- snake curled up Its eyes stared at Xu Min with curiosity and its tongue was constantly slithering in and out of its mouth

“Uhm, excuse lued onto the snake “I think you ,” he continued
