The clone snake listened to Ye Ming's words, twisted slightly, and then a subtle voice sounded in his ears: "Thank you for giving me the elixir, otherwise I would never be able to condense the clone at the last moment."
"You're welcome." Ye Ming said, "I only care about how you plan to thank me."
"I am still very weak and unable to repay you. Please give me time. When I become stronger, I can be your helper." The clone snake said.
Ye Ming was happy: "Waiting for you to become stronger? Then you have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."
"It won't be long, only ten years." The clone snake said, "In ten years, I will be stronger than before and have the opportunity to transform into a dragon."
He just said it casually, not really expecting the little snake to repay him with anything. He squeezed it and said, "It's a pity that you can't turn into a human body, otherwise I can give you a few sets of exercises."
Little Snake: "Do you have demon skills?"
Ye Ming: "There are many, but it's a pity that you can't practice."
"Of course I can practice." The cloned snake became excited and kept twisting its body. "In one year at most, I can transform into a human body. In fact, I could transform into a human form many years ago, but the human body is in the monster. It has no use in the forest, but will be laughed at by other monsters."
Ye Ming nodded: "Okay, when you turn into a human form, I will teach you a few sets of god-level skills. Of course, they will not be taught in vain. You must regard me as your master from now on, do you understand?"
The little snake smiled and said: "You saved my life. It is my destiny to serve you as my master, but I am afraid that my lack of qualifications will make my master angry."
Ye Mingxin said that you are good at talking, and said: "As long as you are loyal, everything else is not a problem."
At this moment, the bronze mirror light suddenly locked onto a white monster that looked like a cat but not a cat. The monster was immediately alarmed, screamed, turned around and ran away. Ye Ming also saw the appearance of the monster, and his heart suddenly jumped, because he felt that this monster was the child of the Xuanbing beast, the Xuanbing cub back then. Its size has obviously shrunk a lot, but Ye Ming still recognized it at a glance.
"Oops! Mrs. Jiang is so cruel and ruthless, I'm afraid I'll kill the little guy!" His mind raced, thinking about a strategy to deal with it.
While locking the Black Ice Beast, Jiang Taishang said with a smile: "This is a Black Ice Beast, it looks like it is underage. Which of you will go down to capture this beast alive?"
"My subordinates are willing to go!" A group of people immediately ran out and asked for a fight.
Ye Ming worked hard and pushed the group of people away. He said loudly: "The villain is willing to go!"
The people around him were very annoyed, but they were all martial arts masters and martial sects, and none of them were as strong as Ye Ming. There was nothing they could do to him, so they had to be pushed aside.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Ye Ming and nodded slightly: "It's you."
Ye Ming roared and jumped directly from the battleship, falling like a meteor towards the black ice beast. Seeing someone chasing after him, the Xuanbing Beast immediately blew out a blast of cold energy. The cold air instantly turned into thousands of ice arrows, shooting towards them
In mid-air, Ye Ming twisted his body, flexibly and quickly, narrowly avoiding this wave of attacks, and secretly said: "It's me, I'm Ye Ming."
The memory and wisdom of the Black Ice Beast are very high. The little guy immediately recognized Ye Ming's voice. He was surprised and happy, and he was about to pounce on him immediately. Ye Ming said quickly: "You pretend to attack me, let's fight and escape, and I will take you to a safe place."
The Black Ice Beast also knew that the battleship above its head was very dangerous, and it immediately continued to attack Ye Ming very cooperatively. In order to be realistic, Ye Ming made it go all out, so the two sides fought and moved forward. The Black Ice Beast is quite powerful. Most of the time, Ye Ming is just dodging, and outsiders think he is looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
One person and one beast chased each other back and forth, and soon entered a swamp. The black ice beast suddenly jumped up and plunged into the muddy water. Ye Ming actually followed in and everyone on the battleship frowned.
"This kid is looking for death. There are probably terrible monsters in the swamp, and he actually got in."
"Hmph, I think he is going crazy because he wants to make meritorious deeds. This time his life will definitely be in danger." Ma Chongshan said sarcastically. He hated Ye Ming very much and wished he would die immediately.
The swamp that the Black Ice Beast entered was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Not long after going downstream, it entered a wide hole and the air inside was very dry. Xuanbing Beast ran over and licked Ye Ming's face again and again, looking very intimate. It is now the size of a large dog, standing as tall as a person, and is very cute and fluffy.
Ye Ming touched its head and said, "You should run away quickly. I will go up later, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."
Unexpectedly, Xuanbing Beast didn't listen at all, and grabbed his sleeve and pulled him in. Ye Ming's heart moved: "Are you going to take me somewhere?" After saying that, he walked forward.
The Black Ice Beast led the way, twisting and turning, and entered a narrow cave. After passing through the cave, the front became cheerful again, and the surrounding became very cold, with ice on the ground and the walls of the cave. Ye Ming saw a black stone ball on the ground in front of him. It was filled with evil spirits. It must have made the place cold.
"What is it?" Ye Ming was very surprised. He kicked it with his feet and found that it was very heavy, weighing at least tens of thousands of kilograms.
Bei Ming: "Master, this thing should be something like a demonic beast's inner elixir, but I don't know what kind of demonic beast it belongs to."
Upon hearing that it was an inner elixir, Ye Ming immediately put it away, wondering if he could sell it for some money. Generally, only monsters above level eight can condense inner elixirs; monsters below level eight can only condense monster cores.
As soon as he put away the inner elixir, a large number of white-haired mice suddenly appeared from the ground. They were very cute, jumping around like fur balls, squeaking, and very excited. It seems that this place should be a place where rats gather, but they dare not come out because of this inner elixir.
He shook his head and said to Xuanbing Beast: "Okay, you run away quickly, I'm going up to recover."
Unexpectedly, the Xuanbing Beast still held his sleeve and pointed its paw at the white mice. Ye Ming was a little annoyed: "What's so good about a group of rats!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and stared at these rats.
"Eh? Beiming, do you think these mice look like treasure-hunting mice?" he asked in surprise.
Bei Ming: "Master, they are indeed similar. Maybe they are related to the treasure-hunting rats."
Ye Ming then squatted down, took out a holy elixir from his pocket, and threw it away. In an instant, all the mice pricked up their ears, sniffed their noses, stared at the place where the elixir fell, and then rushed over like lightning. Finally, the largest mouse found the elixir, and ran over and delivered it to Ye Ming like a treasure.
Ye Ming's eyes widened. He knew that they were not running away. These rats were indeed treasure-hunting rats, but there were too many of them, right? And seeing how affectionate they are to humans shows that they were domesticated before.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Which of you is willing to leave with me?"
This group of mice was very intelligent. After calling each other a few times, a mouse with a tuft of red hair on its head jumped onto the palm of Ye Ming's hand.
Ye Ming was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, you can follow me from now on." After that, he took out a large number of pills, most of which were not expensive but very useful against monsters. When the treasure-hunting mice saw these elixirs, they all screamed, as if they had seen something very beautiful.
The time was almost up, and he knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to the Black Ice Beast and the Treasure Hunter and returned to the ground. The whole process didn't take long. When everyone saw Ye Ming jumping out of the swamp with empty hands, many people laughed at him. Jiang Taishang did not blame him, but ordered the warship to continue moving in to search for the dragon elephant.
The treasure-hunting rat was hiding in Ye Ming's cuffs. Suddenly, its nose twitched and fell to the ground along the trouser legs. It penetrated the deck and entered the battleship. Ye Ming knew that the Treasure Hunting Rat was naturally good at the Five Elements Escape Technique, so he wasn't surprised. He thought it just wanted to go out and play, so he ignored it and continued to stand where it was.
But it was said that after the treasure-hunting rat entered the cabin, he walked around eight times from left to right, and finally entered a small room. There is a flaming magic circle in this small room. It is the core hub of the entire battleship. It is it that controls all the movements of the battleship. In the center of the magic circle, there is a cyan bead floating in the air, with talismans flowing on it, and you can tell it is extraordinary at a glance.
The treasure-hunting mouse licked its tongue, jumped up, and swallowed the bead. After landing, it nodded with satisfaction, as if to say it tasted pretty good. Then it quickly left the scene with its round belly and returned to Ye Ming's sleeves.
Little did the treasure-hunting mouse know that the cyan beads were called "Flying Beads", which were extremely valuable and were the source of power for the operation of battleships. Not long after the cyan bead was taken away, the battleship began to shake, and finally suddenly fell to the ground. The people on the ship were staggering around, not knowing what was happening.
"What's going on?" Jiang Taishang roared, but unfortunately it was useless, and the battleship finally hit the ground heavily. Fortunately, the battleship was strong enough and was not broken. And everyone has the ability to fly, and no one was injured.
At this moment everyone moved to the ground. Mrs. Jiang stood there expressionlessly, waiting for news from her entourage. Not long after, a personal attendant walked over quickly and reported: "Your Highness, the Flying Sky Bead in the battleship hub is missing."
"It's gone? Did it fly by itself?" Jiang Taishang asked.
The attendant said uncertainly: "It must have been taken away."
"Check!" Mrs. Jiang gave the order with a gloomy expression.
Ye Ming secretly pinched the treasure hunter, and the latter twisted his body comfortably. He sighed secretly, knowing that this thing was probably done by the treasure hunter rat just now. At the same time, he also knew that Jiang Taishang was not angry. Without the protection of the battleship, everyone's safety would not be guaranteed. After all, this was deep in the monster forest and full of dangers.
"Prince, I have informed the Suzaku Army and ordered them to send another warship." A personal attendant said, "Should we wait where we are, or should we continue to look for the dragon elephant?"
Jiang Taishang thought for a moment: "Stay where you are." He made a prudent decision. Even if there were martial arts masters around him, he would not dare to be careless.
The prince gave the order, and everyone set up camp and brought many things from the warship to the ground. Then tents were erected one by one, and some people started to light fires and cook meals.
It would take at least half a day for the second warship to arrive, and darkness came faster than expected. The ancient trees in the Monster Forest are towering into the sky, and the forest is already very dark before the sun has completely set. So, someone lit a torch and illuminated the forest brightly.
At this moment, Ye Ming felt the little snake in his sleeve twisting and said: "Master, if you are in danger, leave quickly."
Ye Ming almost didn't think about it and walked away on the excuse of peeing. When he had gone far enough, he asked, "What danger?"
The little snake said: "These people are too arrogant today. They must have angered several beast gods. Master, just watch the excitement from a distance, these people will definitely die!"
