Chapter 159: Beauty Snake
Shen Luo had never seen Granny Ma look this upset, and it made his eyebrows furrow slightly.
“Granny Ma, do you know this demon?” Ying Luo noted Granny Ma’s current expression and felt a strange sense of panic in her heart. She asked.
“Of course I know, how could I forget the great battle that destroyed my cultivation? This is the hair of the Beauty Snake!” Granny Ma, having recovered her composure, said coldly.
“Beauty Snake?” It seemed Ying Luo made a connection, her face change in response.
A few of the older people in the crowd also showed alarm, but most of them were still clueless.
“Fellow cultivators, what is this ‘Beauty Snake’ you are referring to?” Shen Luo asked.
“This goes back to more than twenty years ago. Back then, my cultivation was intact. I, along with another Grain Avoidance Stage cultivator and a few Qi Refining youngsters, were guarding the village. Despite our poverty, we were relatively secure. Unfortunately, tranquillity didn’t last. A villager went fishing in the creek and somehow provoked a Snake Demon with a woman’s head and a snake’s body. It attacked our village. We named it ‘Beauty Snake’ because the demon’s head was that of a beautiful woman. This Beauty Snake was mighty. I and another daoist friend of the Grain Avoidance stage fought it. In the end, my Dantian was damaged, my Mana scattered, and the other friend fell. However, the Beauty Snake also suffered heavy injuries and escaped. I can’t believe it’s returned now,” Granny Ma explained slowly.
Most of the elderly present had witnessed the events of that year. When they heard Granny Ma recount the past, they recalled the terrifying memory and showed expressions of lingering fear.
“I thought the village was only attacked by beasts a few years ago?” Qing Niu suddenly asked on the side.
