Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 589 - 234: Another Snake Den (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi became even more nervous, "Are you saying that the Poisonous Snakes have already set their sights on our Great Wilderness Border Village?"

Xu Binghu nodded, "Exactly!!"

This is no small matter. After all, the two villages near the Great Mountain were both massacred by the Poisonous Snakes, and no one knows what kind of abilities these snakes possess. The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Suddenly, Elder Qi remembered something, "Right, you mentioned a Poisonous Snake corpse appeared at the gate? Why would there be a corpse?"

How could anyone show up at the village gate in the middle of the night? Besides, considering the fate of the previous two villages, the entire village could be wiped out in one night!

Xu Binghu took out the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant and said, "Elder Qi, you don’t know, after Xu Ran developed the latest Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant, he planted it all around the area himself, so the Poisonous Snakes can’t get near!!"

Only Xu Binghu and Lian Ji knew about Xu Ran planting the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant around the village. The others didn’t know at all.

Elder Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and his face was full of joy, praising continuously, "Good, Xu Ran truly has foresight. First, he improved the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant, then distributed it to the villagers for free, and now he has planted it all around the village!!"

"Such achievements should be recorded in the village annals, the Xu Family has indeed produced two remarkable individuals!!"

Xu Binghu, young in age, possesses a power of a thousand catties, and is a renowned Hunter in the region.

Xu Ran, just over his first birthday, is smart and kind-hearted, and planted the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant around the village without anyone knowing.

If it weren’t for this action, they would likely have turned into skeletons by now, bound for the Yellow Springs together.

"Xu Ran is a person of the Great Wilderness Border Village, this is what he should do." Xu Binghu also felt proud at this moment.

Moreover, Xu Ran now has the strength of a thousand catties, and hasn’t even mentioned it. If people knew, they would go crazy!!

"What do you think we should do now?" Elder Qi asked.

Xu Binghu relayed everything Xu Ran told him, "Tell the villagers to stay inside the village. Even if they must go out, they must carry the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant. Wait until we figure things out, or kill all the Poisonous Snakes, before resuming normal life."

Elder Qi slapped his thigh and said, "Good, that’s a good plan, Xu Ran’s mind is indeed clever."

"I will make sure everyone is informed, no one will be able to leave the village."

"Thanks for your trouble, Elder Qi..."

The Xu Family.

Xu Binghu returned home and informed everyone about the village lockdown.

"Matchmaker, you might need to stay here for a while until things are resolved before you can leave."

Cui Hua was all too eager, "No problem, after all, the men of Great Wilderness Border Village are quite sought after. Women from other villages, who are outstanding in appearance, will be waiting for news from Great Wilderness Border Village, no rush!!"

Here, there is plenty of fish and meat every day, she’s more than willing to stay here all the time.

...

Outside Great Wilderness Border Village.

Even under the blazing sun, the grass outside the village remained filled with dark red Poisonous Snakes, watching with hostile gazes. They couldn’t get in, so they had to keep watch outside.

Suddenly, all the Poisonous Snakes turned their heads sharply as a foul stench assailed them, as if they had received some message, they stood frozen in place.

After a while, all the Poisonous Snakes recovered, gathered by the riverbank, found a patch of soft ground, and started digging with their heads into the earth, wriggling like drills.

They dug until their heads broke through, creating a hole several meters deep, and their lifeforce vanished, dead.

Other Poisonous Snakes followed suit, continuing to fill in.

Clearly, since they couldn’t enter the Great Wilderness Border Village from the front, they planned to dig tunnels.

Even if the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant could kill them and keep them from approaching, they would dig tunnels, bypass where the plant’s influence couldn’t reach, enter the village from within, and break through the surface.

...

Nighttime.

Xu Ran sat cross-legged in the courtyard, an uneasy feeling in his heart. He opened his eyes to see Xiao Bai tirelessly patrolling in the sky.

He waved his hand, and in the next instant, Xiao Bai appeared at his side.

"How is it? Did anything happen?" Xu Ran asked.

Xiao Bai shook his head, his sharp eyes filled with confusion, and rubbed against Xu Ran’s body.

"Are you saying that outside the village, there are no more Poisonous Snakes?"

Xiao Bai nodded.

This time, his inner unease grew stronger.

Clearly, the Poisonous Snakes are up to something.

Xiao Bai, as the king of birds of prey and the ruler of the skies, could clearly see everything on the ground even from ten thousand meters high at night.

But now, there was no sign of Poisonous Snakes outside the village, which was unreasonable.

As Xu Ran pondered.

Suddenly, a scream came from outside.

Xu Ran immediately reacted, exclaiming, "Something’s happened!"

Meanwhile, he shouted into the room, "Dad, something’s happened!!"

As Xu Binghu came out, Xiao Bai was already soaring into the sky.

"What’s going on?"

"I don’t know, I just heard screams, let’s go check it out first."

Saying that, Xu Ran moved with incredible speed towards the source of the sound, so fast that Xu Binghu could barely keep up with his eyes.

"This kid, such speed, I never realized before!!"

With a simple comment, Xu Binghu also chased after as fast as he could.

As the two of them disappeared into the night, Lian Ji and Cui Hua came out of the room, and seeing no one in the courtyard, their eyes showed worry.

Soon, Xu Ran arrived first at the source of the sound, the home of a hunter in the village. He opened the wooden door to find a robust man lying on the ground, clutching his calf and screaming.

Next to him, a dark red Poisonous Snake stood poised, staring intently at the robust man.

The robust man heard the door open, turned, and saw it was Xu Ran. He quickly shouted, "Xu Ran, run, notify the villagers, the Poisonous Snakes have come from the cellar!!"

Saying that, he endured the pain, picked up a wooden stick, stood up with difficulty, and shielded Xu Ran.

"It’s okay, uncle, I got this!"

Xu Ran’s childish voice sounded from behind him, and he turned to look.

Xu Ran picked up a small stone from the ground, gripped it tightly, and invisible meridians appeared, with white Innate Qi flowing within, and an infinite power surged.

Xu Ran’s eyes emitted a faint golden light, as if they had locked onto the dark red Poisonous Snake not far away.

"Whoosh---"

The next moment, the robust man only heard a slicing sound from the air, then turned towards the snake’s direction, only to see a long, headless snake body lying lifeless on the ground.

The robust man was taken aback, stuttering, "Xu...Xu Ran...you..."

"Uncle, it’s okay now! The Poisonous Snake is dead." Xu Ran comforted.

Right after dealing with this, Xu Binghu arrived, and coming in, he saw the headless snake body lying in the courtyard.

He looked at Xu Ran in confusion, asking, "Xu Ran, did you do this?"

Before Xu Ran could speak, the robust man chimed in, "Xu brother, you don’t know, just now Xu Ran, with just a stone, took out that snake head; his strength is greater than mine, his accuracy even higher!!"

The robust man kept praising Xu Ran, as if Xu Ran were his own son.

Hearing this, Xu Binghu was extremely shocked, although he had always known his son Xu Ran was very strong.

But it was his first time witnessing his strength, and even he, the strongest hunter within a hundred miles, couldn’t achieve that.

To know that the distance between Xu Ran and the corpse was at least ten meters, and the snake head was so small! In the dark, not to mention hitting the snake head, even hitting the snake body would be very strong, let alone one-strike kill.

"Alright, enough talking, let’s treat this. Uncle got bitten by a snake, we need to use the Seven-leafed One-flowered Plant..." Xu Ran reminded.
