Chapter 516 - 515
Cold Jade Running Snake, slender in form, only as thick as a pinky finger but reaching two meters in length, also known among the folks as Finger Snake. Adult snakes would stay motionless in their nests after hatching their young, producing up to three at a time. These three young snakes would then consume their mother inch by inch, rapidly accumulating toxins and strength. After consuming their mother, the three siblings would then kill each other until only one remained.
For the Running Snake ranked fourth in the Gu list, its lethality is immense, chilling to the bone, along with formidable toxicity. Most importantly, its coldness ensures the abundance of its toxins without requiring too much attention. This chill rivals even that of the Ice Worm, rare in the world—not because the Running Snake is hard to find, but because to cultivate it into a proper Gu, the best candidate must be permanently defined in its juvenile stage within a month of birth. Otherwise, it loses the essence of a Gu, for no one has ever seen someone control Gu with a two-meter long snake.
This is the second trump card of Shangjia Moti, a Running Snake he had painstakingly trained. Should this trump card fail, he would truly have to resort to using the Ice Worm.
With a flick of his fingers, the Running Snake died, and a white liquid flowed down his palm to the ground. Ye Tian felt a piercing cold permeating his skin, but it was soon dispelled by the warm Spiritual Power rushing from his heart. This interchange of cold and heat was quite harmonious, almost giving a sense of Yin-Yang balance.
"Who exactly are you!"
The voice was full of panic.
"I knew it was you who harmed me. Admit it earlier, to avoid physical torment."
Ye Tian employed the interrogation method of Huaxia, and although his tone was not as crafty as those seasoned officials, the key was that he had killed the highly toxic Running Snake and remained unscathed, which was far more intimidating than mere bluffing.
"Is it you?"
The old man opposite him wore a pained expression, one of incredulity, which actually surprised Ye Tian a bit. Perhaps he had accidentally hit the mark, he quickly added, "Yes, it’s me. I know everything now. You’d better explain yourself, otherwise, huh."
