Shen Luo had never seen Granny Ma behave so out of control, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
"Granny Ma, do you know this monster?" Ying Luo asked, feeling inexplicably flustered when he saw Granny Ma's expression at the moment.
"Of course I know. How could I forget the battle that destroyed all my cultivation? This is the hair of that beautiful snake!" Granny Ma said in a cold voice, having suppressed her emotions.
"Beauty snake?" Ying Luo seemed to have thought of something, and her pretty face changed.
The expressions of a few older people around also changed drastically, but most people still looked confused.
"Hey guys, what kind of monster is this beautiful snake you are talking about?" Shen Luo asked.
"This story started more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was still at the stage of cultivation, and I, another cultivator in the Qigong stage, and several younger people in the Qi Refining stage protected the village. Although the village was poor, it was still stable. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A villager went to the stream to fish and somehow provoked a snake demon with a human head and a snake body. It attacked the village. Because the head of this demon is a beautiful woman, we call it the beauty snake. This beauty snake is very powerful, and another Taoist friend in the Qigong stage and I joined forces to fight it. In the end, the old woman's Dantian was damaged, her magic power dissipated, and the other Taoist friend died, but the beauty snake was also seriously injured and fled. Unexpectedly, it is back now." Granny Ma said slowly.
Most of the elderly people present had personally experienced what happened back then. When they heard Granny Ma recounting the past, they recalled the horrific memories and looked frightened.
"Didn't the monster attacks on the village start just a few years ago?" Qingniu at the side suddenly asked.
"The incident of monsters in the mountains attacking villages has existed since ancient times, otherwise there would be no need for cultivators to be stationed in the village. But such incidents were extremely rare at that time, and often would not happen once in more than ten years. It was only in the past few years that the wild beasts in the mountains mutated and their number suddenly increased dramatically." Granny Ma said.
Qingniu nodded suddenly after hearing this and said nothing more.
"Granny Ma, what was the specific level of cultivation of you and the other fellow Taoist in the Qigong period at that time?" Shen Luo asked with a serious expression what he was most concerned about.
"I had just entered the fasting stage at that time. The other fellow Taoist's cultivation was deeper than mine, but he had not reached the middle stage of fasting." Granny Ma glanced at Shen Luo and said.
Shen Luo's expression relaxed a little when he heard this.
Although the beauty snake severely injured two people in the early stage of fasting, she herself was also seriously injured. Her cultivation level is at most in the middle stage of fasting. Even if her injuries have recovered after so many years, her cultivation level should not have improved. Otherwise, she would not have done such a sneaky thing.
Although he had just entered the Bigu period, he had opened up a total of twenty Dharma veins. In terms of the strength of his magic power and the power of his spellcasting, he was no less than an ordinary Bigu cultivator in the middle stage.
"The beauty snake demon is greedy and cruel. In addition to the previous vengeance, she will definitely not let it go this time she comes back. I'm afraid our village will face another disaster!" said Granny Ma, looking worried.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard became panic-stricken.
"Now that we have determined what is causing the trouble and found its escape route, the most urgent task is to find a way to rescue Chen Guanbao!" Ying Luo said hurriedly.
"That snake demon is extremely powerful. Even the two immortal masters in the village who had reached the Qigong stage together were no match for it. Let me say something that might make the two immortal masters angry. How can you defeat it? You will only die in vain if you go." Before Shen Luo could say anything, a bald old man next to him spoke up to stop him.
