Chapter 431: Holy Snakes (2/2)

Someone suggested.

”Yeah, I agree!”

Both sides of the lake were still surrounded by the rainforest, and only the direction in front of them seemed to have a possibility. Of course, the group was hoping that it would lead to somewhere other than more rainforests.

After deciding, they started to cut down wood for making boats.

Each of them had their eyes on their favorite boats. Ye Chen and Murong Qinghcng created the simplest boat. It was only a triangle with the length of forty meters and width of fifteen meters. They layered five different layers together in order to make it strong and stable. Then, they used the special vines of the rainforest, which were also very strong and tough, to the extent that normal Astral Reaching Realm warriors could not break it with only one attack.

After building the huge boat, Ye Chen built four stands for oars. He then made four oars, each of them being twenty meters long and three meters wide. They looked like they were made for giants.

”Although the lake looks quite calm now, no one can foresee the danger there. It is good that we prepare some small ones.” Seeing that there were people rushing to sail out, Ye Chen did not hurry at all. He liked to prepare for everything, so that even if he faced danger, he would have a backup plan.

Hearing this, Murong Qingcheng did not have a problem at all.

After building the small boats, they put them into their storage rings.

Soon, the two boarded the big boat and held an oar in each hand, moving them in the water and making the boat travel from slow to fast.

When they were passing the strange-looking birds, these birds did not seem to be scared, but they flew up to increase the distance between them.

While no one was looking, a huge bird disappeared above the lake, without bringing up even a splash.

Slowly, the warriors on the boats could not see the rainforest in the back anymore.

”There are the Holy Snakes from the Wavy Holy Tribes in this Holy Lake. Some of them will die.” A group of people walked out of the rainforest. Their leader was a white-haired elder with a strong-looking body and dark skin. He wore a white leather piece. That white bone necklace around his neck was huge, each of those skulls around his neck bigger than a child's. He moved his lips, talking in some kind of special language.

The person standing right next to him laughed, ”They love the sacrificing ceremony. They will be good for it.”

The leader shook his head, ”Since more and more ancient places have been dug out, more and more outsiders are coming in here. This is already the third time in this decade. Before, which was one year ago, the Wavy Holy Tribe had even lost a member, which was why we, the Blue Wood Holy Tribe, had decided to kill all of the outsiders.”

”The third elder refers to the Hearty Holy Lady, right? What a beauty! What a shame too! I wonder what kind of trick that outsider had used to trick her and win her heart, trying to sneak her out. No wonder those members of the young generation of the Wavy Holy Tribe hate the outsiders with a burning passion.”

”Don't underestimate the young generation from the outside world. Although they have trained differently, because there are a lot of them, there must be some rather strong ones among them.”

”Yes, elder!”

”Let's go!”

The leader had a strange look in his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen, who was ten miles away now, before turning to go into the rainforest.

...

The lake seemed to be endless and surreal.

Hearing the waves, Ye Chen did not stop at all.

Right next to the left side of the boat, Murong Qingcheng saw a beam of black light flash once before her eyes, then she said lightly, ”We are tracked by something.”

”It seems to be snakes.”

Ye Chen answered.

Splash!

Just as the last sound of Ye Chen's voice was heard, the very first boat was attacked. A hundred-meters-long, black snake jumped out of the water, opened its mouth, and swallowed an Astral Reaching Realm warrior instantly, leaving him no chance to even react. A lot of warriors with great observation ability had seen that the ”snake” had a long beard, just like the so-called 'dragon beard'.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

There were more than one of them, which kept jumping out of the surface of the lake and taking the warriors away from where they were.

”Incoming!”

Murong Qingcheng put down the oar and lifted up her arm, grabbing onto the snake that had just jumped out of the lake. She then twisted her body and threw that snake miles away, making it land heavily back into the water.

Dong!

All of a sudden, her body wobbled, as the boat she was standing on started to fly into the air.

”I am on it!”

Ye Chen jumped down, grabbing onto the edge of the boat while hanging his body on the side. He then waved his right hand with his destruction sword, quickly cutting off another even bigger black snake.

The shell of that snake was extremely strong. However, Ye Chen's killing sword intent was especially aimed at the living creatures with physical bodies. So, that snake got a full-body-length sword mark which was soaked with blood, dyeing the lake red.
