Logically speaking, the habitats of snake monsters are mostly dark and damp woods and wetlands.

Of course, it does not rule out that some aliens like to lie in the desert and bask in the sun, or hide in the lava and take a bath.

After determining the general direction, Su Huai spent nearly half an hour before discovering the cave that had haunted him on a sunny hillside.

He stopped at the entrance of the cave, looked at the small light blue flowers on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, in the first life, he was just an ordinary person until his death, and he didn't have much knowledge. He only thought that the wild flowers all over the ground were beautiful.

Only now did I realize that this was no wild flower, it was clearly the countless second-level elixir Moon Dew Chrysanthemum.

The price of elixirs is very high. In the black iron city's trading company, five moon dew chrysanthemums can be exchanged for a broad-minded Cheng Xiaohe, and there is no need to even tell the price.

Adhering to the concept of being diligent and thrifty, he directly mobilized his spiritual power, cut off all the rocks and land within a five-meter radius of the cave entrance, and stuffed it into the space ring.

Then he looked at the bare entrance of the cave, and then he lowered his head and got into the hole with satisfaction.

The cave was a little shady, with dark green moss climbing all over the mountain walls, and a faint fishy smell permeating the depths of the cave, causing Su Huai to subconsciously speed up his pace.

After walking for dozens of steps, Su Huai finally saw the pool where he was buried in his first life with the faint light emitted by the small fireweed in the cave.

A purple-striped black viper with a body length of more than 20 meters was entrenched in it, its cold vertical pupils staring at the uninvited guest not far away who broke into its lair with a long sword.

"Hiss...hiss..."

"Fifth level monster?"

Su Huai frowned.

The Immortal Realm has always been a world where immortals and mortals live together. Practitioners seem to be everywhere, but in fact the number of people with cultivation talents is actually not many, accounting for less than half of the total population.

Among these half adults, at least half of the practitioners remain in the initial state of body refining throughout their lives.

The ten realms of cultivation correspond to body refining, foundation building, spiritual concentration, mortal transformation, ascending to immortality, earthly immortality, heavenly immortal, immortal king, immortal king, and finally the immortal emperor.

Among them, the first four realms are called the mortal realm.”

Only when you reach the fifth realm, the Immortal Realm, can you truly step onto the path of immortality and have the qualifications to establish a sect.

But it is so difficult to break through to the fifth realm. The most powerful person in the entire Great Yan Kingdom, Yan Potian, the leader of the Great Yan Kingdom, is just a monk who has reached the late stage of the Immortal Realm.

Most of the little city lords like Su Huai's father Su Zhengheng, who have been encircling the land and are cute, are only in the concentration state. Su Zhengheng is a little stronger, but he has only just broken through to the transformation state...

Who would have thought that a fifth-level monster would live in a small forest less than a hundred miles away from Black Iron City!?

You said that you are so awesome that instead of challenging Yan Potian to make a name for yourself, you are willing to stay here and sleep?

And it stands to reason that the intelligence of fifth-level monsters is not much lower than that of humans. After all, by the sixth level, they can transform into human forms and speak human words.

But Su Huai found that the purple-striped black viper in front of him looked like a mentally retarded person and would only stare at him in a daze.

"Could it be that there are imbeciles among monsters?"

Su Huai exuded an aura that was as strong as the fairyland. The huge body of the purple-striped black viper shook, but after shaking, it still coiled there motionless.

He stared, neither attacking nor running away.

"Holy crap! What a fucking idiot!?"

"I was eaten by something like this in my first life!?"

Looking at this stupid snake, Su Huai suddenly remembered an idiom about waiting for the rabbit.

This snake is the farmer who was guarding the wooden post waiting for the rabbit to run over and kill him.

And he, Su Huai, was that stupid rabbit in his first life.

"It's a big departure!"

Su Huai twitched the corner of his mouth, and walked forward step by step with the knife in hand. Anyway, it has come, and the revenge of the body must be avenged today!

But what he didn't expect was that as he slowly approached the pool, the purple-striped black viper suddenly started to move.

The cold scales shone with a strange dark light, and the huge snake body loomed in the pool. It suddenly opened its mouth, bit its own tail, and swallowed it into its belly, slowly forming a circle connected end to end.

ring.

"Ouroboros?"

Su Huai was stunned for a moment, and a glimmer of understanding came to his heart, but it was fleeting.

Before he could think about it, the stupid snake suddenly sank into the pool. At the same time, the clear water suddenly rose up, and a huge transparent snake head was outlined in mid-air.

The snakehead glanced at Su Huai, opened his mouth and swallowed Su Huai in one gulp...

Su Huai's eyes were dark, but his heart was filled with horror.

With the power of the Immortal Lord, he actually had the illusion that when facing the transparent snake head just now, he felt like a mantis was using his arms as a cart and an ant was looking at the sky.

【Please, take a step forward.】

When the light returned to his eyes, Su Huai realized that he was no longer in the low cave.

At this moment, he was facing a heavy metal door. On the door was a huge silver Ouroboros sculpture. The snake's eyes made of gemstones emitted scarlet blood.

【Please, step forward!】

"Who are you!?"

Su Huai stared at the snake eyes on the door, his spiritual power flowing crazily around him so that he could unleash his strongest attack at any time.

After a long stalemate, Silver Snake seemed to have finally lost patience.

【I’ll let you step forward on horseback! 】

With a flash of snake eyes, Su Huai suddenly found that all his power was drained away in an instant, and he became the ordinary self he was in his first life.

An invisible big hand wrapped around him, pulled him forcefully forward, and slapped his hand on the stone platform in front of the metal gate.

【Unqualified!】

【The ants!】

【Incompetent! Waste! Trash!】

"Damn it! Why are you using this curse word? Who the hell are you so stupid!?"

"Come out and challenge!"

When it came to voice communication, Su Huai had never been afraid of anyone. The Silver Snake seemed to be speechless by him. He was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice returned to its original calmness.

[Five years, failure, death.]

"???"

"You're fucking capable...bastard!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Huai suddenly felt like he was pushed by someone. After stumbling, he raised his head again. The metal door in front of him had disappeared.

Instead, there were caves, pools, and the stupid snake coiled in the pool, staring at him.

After clenching his fist, his immortal-level strength had been restored.

But there was a silver Ouroboros ring on the middle finger of his right hand, but it seemed to have exhausted its power, and its originally scarlet eyes were now dim.

Su Huai frowned, carefully inputting a trace of spiritual energy, and a message instantly appeared in his mind.

"?"

"What does this mean?"

[Qualified...key...ship]

【get away……】

"Key? What key? Escape from what?"

The metal door embedded in the mountain suddenly appeared in Su Huai's mind.

Could it be that the key mentioned in this Ouroboros ring is used to open that door?

What's behind the gate? A boat?

What does "escape" mean? Let me escape? Or let me help the thing behind the door escape?

Su Huai raised her hand to hold the ring, but found that it seemed to be integrated with her and could not be pulled off no matter how hard she tried.

never mind……

Su Huai sat by the pool, her mind sorting out everything that had just happened.
