Chapter 7: Pure Heart Grass
Qingxin grass itself is extremely precious. It takes ten years for it to bloom and ten years for it to mature. Every ten years, the medicinal effect of Qingxin grass becomes stronger. It is a rare spiritual grass. Even a behemoth like Panxi Sect may not have this spiritual grass. The Qingxin grass in front of him has six fruits. It is obvious that it has been there for at least 120 years. If Zhou Dan gets Qingxin grass, it will be even more powerful. How can he miss it?
In addition to helping Zhou Dan get rid of the demon ape, the Qingxin Grass can also help his blood become purer. As long as he takes the six fruits, he will get huge benefits.
The demon ape itself is a very vengeful monster, otherwise it would not have chased Zhou Dan for two whole days. If Zhou Dan does not wash the demon ape blood off his body, it will be difficult for him to return to Zhoucheng. Zhou Dan even believes that if the demon ape blood in his body is not dealt with one day, the adult demon ape will fight him to the death.
Zhou Dan was not afraid of wasting time with the demon ape. The blood essence stones here were enough for him to eat for a long time. He didn't have to worry about food and clothing. But Zhou Dan didn't want to do so. If he stayed in this place all the time, not to mention that his cultivation speed would be greatly reduced, Zhou Dan was weak now. If he accidentally made some noise one day and awakened the hibernating blood python, that would not be a good thing. Now he had only gained temporary safety.
“Even if the blood pythons are hibernating now, we can’t rush in. After all, their sensing ability…” Zhou Dan recalled the records about the blood pythons, feeling a little helpless. However, he did not give up. He first observed the situation in the giant pit, and saw that the hundreds of blood pythons were not all huddled together. Except for the five or six feet high blood stone where most of the blood pythons were entangled, there were still sporadic blood pythons scattered around.
"Forget it. It's better to risk your life than to wait for death."
Zhou Dan really had no other choice but to fight for his life. Otherwise, once winter was over, the blood pythons would wake up one after another, and then it would be a lively scene. But now he didn't carry anything on him, and it was obviously impossible to get help from external forces. He had to do it himself.
Zhou Dan held his breath, climbed down the rock, held on to the stones sticking to the soil, and then carefully came to the bottom of the huge pit. The whole process was done in one go without any delay, which showed how agile Zhou Dan's hands and feet were.
The moment Zhou Dan landed, a disgusting stench came out. Even though Zhou Dan had held his breath, the stench still seeped in from his skin, gradually beginning to paralyze his nerves and causing him to hallucinate. At this moment Zhou Dan knew that the blood python had mutated and became highly poisonous.
Zhou Dan no longer hesitated, his body turned into a shadow, and rushed to the opposite side like lightning.
whoosh~~
In a few seconds, Zhou Dan came close to the Qingxin Grass, and finally a smile appeared on his face. He quickly pulled up the entire Qingxin Grass by its roots and put it in his pocket. Just as Zhou Dan turned to leave, the energy of heaven and earth in the giant pit suddenly shook violently.
"Not good!" Zhou Dan exclaimed. He knew that because he picked the Qingxin Grass, the energy of heaven and earth in the giant pit suddenly lost balance, and such a movement would most likely wake up the hibernating blood python.
"Let's go!" Zhou Dan didn't dare to hesitate at all. He pushed his feet hard, passed several blood pythons, and climbed up the passage like flying over the eaves and walls.
Hiss~~
The disturbance of spiritual energy really woke up more than a dozen larger blood pythons. When they found that the Qingxin Grass had disappeared, they immediately opened their bloody mouths, revealing two fangs that were more than half a meter long. They kept making hissing sounds towards Zhou Dan's back.
Bang!
Zhou Dan's scalp tingled. As soon as he entered the passage, he punched out and smashed a stone that was preventing him from escaping, and then turned into a residual image and disappeared in the passage.
Hiss~~
As more than a dozen large blood pythons screamed angrily, hundreds of hibernating blood pythons woke up one after another. When they found that the Qingxin Grass had disappeared, they vomited their spirits again and again. Their intelligence was not high, but it was definitely not low. How could something that could attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth not be precious? Otherwise, they would not have kept the Qingxin Grass until now, just to enjoy the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in it.
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
When the Qingxin Grass was lost, hundreds of blood pythons came out and chased after the thief who picked the grass.
"This Qingxin Grass can actually attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. What a miscalculation!" Zhou Dan felt extremely bitter. Ever since he came to the Jiuzhou Continent, things have never gone smoothly. He went out for training and ended up being hunted down. He escaped from the demon ape and entered the snake cave. Thinking of this, Zhou Dan suddenly felt a pressure in his heart that made him extremely uncomfortable.
Zhou Dan felt something was wrong as soon as he started to pick the Qingxin Grass. His years of experience in tomb robbing made him extremely sensitive to danger, and he quickly and decisively ran back. He had no confidence that he could defeat a hundred blood pythons in this place. Not to mention that the space here was limited, even if he was outside, Zhou Dan would never fight head-on. With a hundred blood pythons out of the cage, even a strong man at the sixth level of body tempering would have to retreat.
Zhou Dan was very fast, and within a few breaths he had escaped from the giant pit for dozens of meters. However, he did not dare to stop at all. He took out a blue leaf from his arms, crushed it in his mouth, and then spit it into his palm. He put the crushed leaves on his neck and rubbed it hard. The neck that was originally red as fire instantly returned to its original color.
This leaf was indeed a leaf of Qingxin Grass, and Zhou Dan used the liquid of Qingxin Grass to wipe off the demon ape blood on his neck. Now he was considered to have gotten rid of the adult demon ape, but before Zhou Dan could relax, a gust of cold wind blew from behind, making his hair stand on end.
"Damn, the speed of these blood pythons is really amazing. I will deal with you when I become stronger!"
Zhou Dan doesn't dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with this group of blood pythons now. His current strength is not enough to fight against a hundred blood pythons. However, there is still a long time to go, and Zhou Dan will not give up this good place.
With many years of experience in tomb robbing, Zhou Dan was able to shuttle back and forth in the narrow passages, like a fish swimming in water, at an incredibly fast speed. The blood pythons behind him were also not to be underestimated, as they dug out these passages themselves. Even if the grass thieves left the scene first, they almost caught up with them, and the distance between the two was rapidly shortened.
But in the end Zhou Dan successfully rushed out of the narrow passage. However, as soon as he rushed out of the passage, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
The cave entrance, which was originally only three meters high, has become a giant cave sixty or seven meters high. Zhou Dan immediately realized that this cave entrance was dug by the demon ape.
"Damn it, it looks like you put a lot of effort into killing me!" Zhou Dan's face darkened. Originally, he did not intend to take the risk of getting entangled with the adult demon ape, but this adult demon ape kept chasing him and wanted to kill him. Even a clay man can get angry. Zhou Dan's strength is indeed not as good as the demon ape's, but he is not without a way to make the demon ape pay the price.
Previously, he was unable to use his other methods because he was stained with the blood of the demon ape. As for now, Zhou Dan has already gotten rid of the demon ape's blood from his body, which means that the demon ape can no longer find him by smell. Zhou Dan's strength is average now, but his escape technique is absolutely top-notch. Don't forget, Zhou Dan specialized in digging up people's ancestral graves in his previous life, so wouldn't his escape technique be ordinary?
"In that case, I'll let you have a taste of my power!" Zhou Dan glanced behind him, and then a fierce look flashed across his face. A fruit emitting a faint golden light appeared in his hand, and a look of pain quickly filled his face. He exerted force with his legs and actually shot towards the adult demon ape outside the cave.
"Roar!" The adult demon ape seemed to feel something running towards him and suddenly let out a roar. When it saw that it was Zhou Dan, whom it had been chasing, it became even more furious.
However, Zhou Dan was indifferent to the anger of the demon ape. He looked behind him and saw hundreds of blood pythons rushing out of the passage and biting towards him. At this moment, he clenched his fist that was holding the Qingxin Grass fruit and then squeezed it hard. Suddenly, a shocking medicinal fragrance came, and golden yellow liquid flowed down from the palm of Zhou Dan's hand. These were the essence of the Qingxin Grass fruit.
Hiss~~~
Smelling the intoxicating medicinal aroma in the air, hundreds of blood pythons suddenly accelerated, and all the snakes stared closely at Zhou Dan's fist that was gushing liquid.
"go!"
The moment Zhou Dan crushed the Qingxin Grass fruit, it flew out from his hand like a cannonball and hit the adult demon ape directly on its chest. The golden liquid spilled all over the adult demon ape's body.
"Roar!" The adult demon ape was obviously stunned, because at this moment its brows were full of doubts. Feeling the intoxicating fragrance coming from its chest, the adult demon ape actually shouted with joy, and its blood-red eyes regained a trace of clarity.
"wipe!"
Zhou Dan immediately started swearing when he saw this. He was tricked but still felt so satisfied. This made Zhou Dan speechless about this low-IQ demon ape. However, after he succeeded in his attack, he did not stop but jumped into the river.
Hiss~~
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Dan escaped into the river, his breath disappeared into the air, and the hundreds of blood pythons actually shifted their target to the adult demon ape. At this time, the adult demon ape was dancing and licking the golden liquid on his chest with his tongue, completely ignoring the hundreds of blood pythons rushing towards him.
"The blood pythons really rely on smell to attack their targets. I alarmed them when I picked the Qingxin Grass. Now the liquid from the Qingxin Grass fruit has fallen on the demon ape. I'm afraid it will take some effort for the demon ape to get rid of them."
Zhou Dan escaped into the rapid river and did not leave immediately. Instead, he hid by the river and watched the battle between the blood python and the demon ape.
roar!
The adult demon ape did not take the group of blood pythons seriously. It had the strength of the ninth level of Body Tempering, and although the number of these blood pythons was considerable, they were just jumping clowns to the adult demon ape and were not worth worrying about at all.
However, the adult demon ape was wrong. These blood pythons were all grown from whale bloodstones. They were much stronger than ordinary blood pythons and were highly poisonous. This was also the reason why Zhou Dan, who was lurking nearby, was sweating.
Phew~~
More than a dozen larger blood pythons opened their bloody mouths first and bit the adult demon ape's chest. A thick white liquid spurted out from their sharp teeth. It turned out to be venom.
"Damn it! If I had reacted a little slower, I would have been melted by the venom along with my skin and bones." Even though he was hiding far away, Zhou Dan could still feel the powerful venom sprayed from the blood python's teeth.
The adult demon ape only felt a pain in his chest, and then a tingling numbness spread throughout his body, and his clear eyes were instantly replaced by bloodshot.
"roar!"
How noble it was, but it was attacked by a group of clowns. This made the adult demon ape instantly furious! Its strong arms kept slapping its chest, and then a terrifying roar came out of its mouth, shaking off more than a dozen blood pythons that were biting its huge body. But the adult demon ape seemed to be completely enraged, and punched out, directly smashing the head of a blood python that was more than four feet long, and blood scattered all over the surrounding area, dyeing the ground red!
Hiss~~
The killing of their own kind undoubtedly stimulated the ferocity in the blood pythons. Instead of retreating, they advanced and sprayed venom at the adult demon ape together, and then entangled it.
"roar!"
No matter how defensive you are, you can't guard against a hundred snakes. The adult demon ape was accidentally shot in the eye by venom. It jumped left and right in pain and fled away in shame. All the snakes stood up and spit at the fleeing adult demon ape.
"This..." Zhou Dan looked at the scene in shock. How could a demon ape who had reached the ninth level of body tempering be forced to retreat by a group of blood pythons?
However, although the result was a bit unexpected, it was also within Zhou Dan's acceptable range. After all, his physical energy had been exhausted during the two days when the adult demon ape was chasing him. Facing hundreds of mutated blood pythons, it was normal for him to retreat.

The blood pythons behind him were also not to be underestimated, as they dug out these passages themselves. Even if the grass thieves left the scene first, they almost caught up with them, and the distance between the two was rapidly shortened.
But in the end Zhou Dan successfully rushed out of the narrow passage. However, as soon as he rushed out of the passage, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
The cave entrance, which was originally only three meters high, has become a giant cave sixty or seven meters high. Zhou Dan immediately realized that this cave entrance was dug by the demon ape.
"Damn it, it looks like you put a lot of effort into killing me!" Zhou Dan's face darkened. Originally, he did not intend to take the risk of getting entangled with the adult demon ape, but this adult demon ape kept chasing him and wanted to kill him. Even a clay man can get angry. Zhou Dan's strength is indeed not as good as the demon ape's, but he is not without a way to make the demon ape pay the price.
Previously, he was unable to use his other methods because he was stained with the blood of the demon ape. As for now, Zhou Dan has already gotten rid of the demon ape's blood from his body, which means that the demon ape can no longer find him by smell. Zhou Dan's strength is average now, but his escape technique is absolutely top-notch. Don't forget, Zhou Dan specialized in digging up people's ancestral graves in his previous life, so wouldn't his escape technique be ordinary?
"In that case, I'll let you have a taste of my power!" Zhou Dan glanced behind him, and then a fierce look flashed across his face. A fruit emitting a faint golden light appeared in his hand, and a look of pain quickly filled his face. He exerted force with his legs and actually shot towards the adult demon ape outside the cave.
"Roar!" The adult demon ape seemed to feel something running towards him and suddenly let out a roar. When it saw that it was Zhou Dan, whom it had been chasing, it became even more furious.
However, Zhou Dan was indifferent to the anger of the demon ape. He looked behind him and saw hundreds of blood pythons rushing out of the passage and biting towards him. At this moment, he clenched his fist that was holding the Qingxin Grass fruit and then squeezed it hard. Suddenly, a shocking medicinal fragrance came, and golden yellow liquid flowed down from the palm of Zhou Dan's hand. These were the essence of the Qingxin Grass fruit.
Hiss~~~
Smelling the intoxicating medicinal aroma in the air, hundreds of blood pythons suddenly accelerated, and all the snakes stared closely at Zhou Dan's fist that was gushing liquid.
"go!"
The moment Zhou Dan crushed the Qingxin Grass fruit, it flew out from his hand like a cannonball and hit the adult demon ape directly on its chest. The golden liquid spilled all over the adult demon ape's body.
"Roar!" The adult demon ape was obviously stunned, because at this moment its brows were full of doubts. Feeling the intoxicating fragrance coming from its chest, the adult demon ape actually shouted with joy, and its blood-red eyes regained a trace of clarity.
"wipe!"
Zhou Dan immediately started swearing when he saw this. He was tricked but still felt so satisfied. This made Zhou Dan speechless about this low-IQ demon ape. However, after he succeeded in his attack, he did not stop but jumped into the river.
Hiss~~
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Dan escaped into the river, his breath disappeared into the air, and the hundreds of blood pythons actually shifted their target to the adult demon ape. At this time, the adult demon ape was dancing and licking the golden liquid on his chest with his tongue, completely ignoring the hundreds of blood pythons rushing towards him.
"The blood pythons really rely on smell to attack their targets. I alarmed them when I picked the Qingxin Grass. Now the liquid from the Qingxin Grass fruit has fallen on the demon ape. I'm afraid it will take some effort for the demon ape to get rid of them."
Zhou Dan escaped into the rapid river and did not leave immediately. Instead, he hid by the river and watched the battle between the blood python and the demon ape.
roar!
The adult demon ape did not take the group of blood pythons seriously. It had the strength of the ninth level of Body Tempering, and although the number of these blood pythons was considerable, they were just jumping clowns to the adult demon ape and were not worth worrying about at all.
However, the adult demon ape was wrong. These blood pythons were all grown from whale bloodstones. They were much stronger than ordinary blood pythons and were highly poisonous. This was also the reason why Zhou Dan, who was lurking nearby, was sweating.
Phew~~
More than a dozen larger blood pythons opened their bloody mouths first and bit the adult demon ape's chest. A thick white liquid spurted out from their sharp teeth. It turned out to be venom.
"Damn it! If I had reacted a little slower, I would have been melted by the venom along with my skin and bones." Even though he was hiding far away, Zhou Dan could still feel the powerful venom sprayed from the blood python's teeth.
The adult demon ape only felt a pain in his chest, and then a tingling numbness spread throughout his body, and his clear eyes were instantly replaced by bloodshot.
"roar!"
How noble it was, but it was attacked by a group of clowns. This made the adult demon ape instantly furious! Its strong arms kept slapping its chest, and then a terrifying roar came out of its mouth, shaking off more than a dozen blood pythons that were biting its huge body. But the adult demon ape seemed to be completely enraged, and punched out, directly smashing the head of a blood python that was more than four feet long, and blood scattered all over the surrounding area, dyeing the ground red!
Hiss~~
The killing of their own kind undoubtedly stimulated the ferocity in the blood pythons. Instead of retreating, they advanced and sprayed venom at the adult demon ape together, and then entangled it.
"roar!"
No matter how defensive you are, you can't guard against a hundred snakes. The adult demon ape was accidentally shot in the eye by venom. It jumped left and right in pain and fled away in shame. All the snakes stood up and spit at the fleeing adult demon ape.
"This..." Zhou Dan looked at the scene in shock. How could a demon ape who had reached the ninth level of body tempering be forced to retreat by a group of blood pythons?
However, although the result was a bit unexpected, it was also within Zhou Dan's acceptable range. After all, his physical energy had been exhausted during the two days when the adult demon ape was chasing him. Facing hundreds of mutated blood pythons, it was normal for him to retreat.
