It's snake!
Yes, it was a snake, and since Zeal's Soul-eyes had tremendously developed, he could easily make out the snake's appearance. The snake appeared black, but nature highlighted it with a yellow chevron. At the same time, the underside of the creature was grayish-black without crossbars. However, the throat of the snake was a beige hue.
"This snake is a King Cobra, and its speed is overwhelming. Not to mention its decisive strikes." Zeal swallowed a lump of his saliva as he lamented. However, as Zeal threw his left leg back, still putting all his attention and energy on the King Cobra in front of him, his right leg instinctively followed. But something interesting happened because Zeal also instinctively stopped himself after placing his right leg on the ground; he felt he had hit something else. At this moment, gushes of sweat dripped from his beautiful brows. In fact, Zeal already knew that his back was tense and his head was full of fear. He evidently couldn't think straight.
"I'm really going to die of a heart attack!" Zeal muttered.
At this moment, the snake in front of him unfolded and suddenly rose; its action caught the attention of Zeal. In fact, Zeal couldn't believe his eyes; he initially thought the snake was a huge tree. This snake pinned its tail straight to the ground and stretched all the way, and it had a length of 5.6meters, at the very least. But just as he thought of escaping, another snake rose behind him too. Zeal had already noticed something before when he stepped back. However, the whole thing became more distinct. The later snake had a green body with a yellow chevron. It moreover had a dark-brown underside and beige neck. At this moment, Zeal noticed that the eyes of these snakes had a dark-yellow tint. Could anyone endure this pressure? Why would he obediently wait for these creatures to lazily eat him? No, he wouldn't accept it! Zeal decided.
Instantly, he took off. In fact, Zeal's speed had increased since the last encounter with the Cheetah. So before he knew it, he had traveled four meters in a blink of an eye; he smiled at his victory. Although he wondered why the snake didn't catch up, he soon dismissed the idea. It could be that they lost interest. However, after his thought, something disastrous happened.
Moments later, when Karl Zeal ran the narrow-grassed path with a smile, two snake mouths almost kissed his back. When he noticed the danger, his face paled in fear. Even though Zeal was afraid, he shook his head, trying to shake away all distracting thoughts. Zeal knew he had to survive no matter what. But what annoyed him was the speed of the two snakes. So they still caught up to him after all his struggle; he couldn't help but curse. Instantly, he dove towards his left flank. In this area, trees arranged themselves in rows of left and right. Zeal naturally chose a path. He could not allow himself to die a useless death. Because of Zeal's instant maneuver, the cobra king and queen found themselves in a difficult position. So all they could do was speed past him; they obviously had no life brake. "What happened?" Zeal questioned nobody in particular.
But in fact, when Zeal ran four meters in a blink of an eye, the cunning snakes pretended to have given up on their prey. However, after a while, they recoiled like compressed springs with their tails pinned on the ground, then lunged themselves like a projectile; they crossed several meters in a second, totally crushing the speed of Zeal. However, their long bodies gave them speed advantages. Nonetheless, it also limited their control. That's why: when Zeal suddenly maneuvered, they found themselves in a dilemma.
Moments later, the two snakes finally stopped with great difficulty after traveling for a while. They recoiled their bodies again with their tails pinned on the ground as they lunged towards the resting Zeal. However, when Zeal saw them, he blanched but still tumbled and rolled swiftly. 'Everything is annoying!' Zeal blamed the whole forest for his misery. In any case, Zeal wasn't fast enough, so the green-colored snake grazed him on his left shoulder before it struck the hard trunk. At the same time, the black skin snake struck the tree without hitting Zeal. Nevertheless, their mouths sunk deeper into the wood trunk because of the momentum they used. This time, Zeal was so close to shaking hands with Death. Even though he had been in this situation before, this one was the scariest.
Similarly, the dark brown trunk of the tree began to change color to reddish-purple, totally reacting to the poison transmitted by the two venomous snakes king and queen. However, the snake found themselves in a difficult situation—they couldn't withdraw their stuck head from the tree trunk. So they could only wait until they could destroy the tree trunk using their poison. Zeal only gave this incident a momentary thought and gaze before he carried his poisoned self to escape. 'Since the old thing wanted him to die so badly, he had succeeded. Where the hell would he see medicine to detoxify him from the poison of cobra king and queen; it is not as though those two creatures are ordinary. Well, there is no point musing over it; he was just too weak.' Zeal thought about many things as he left the snake territory with struggle; he just hoped he wouldn't die. After all, it wasn't over yet.
At this moment, Zeal appeared in another free zone. "So those two snakes are Cobra king and Cobra queen. That old thing had said something about them before. And now that the snake didn't swallow me, how would I cope with this poison?" In fact, this question was one Zeal had no way of answering.
On a dark moonless night, Zeal sat with his legs crossed. Of course, Zeal hadn't seen the moon since his arrival in Lyon city. However, if there is moonlight today, it wouldn't be hard for him to see it. At this moment, Zeal remembered that among the cultivation techniques that old thing gave him, there seemed to be a poison immunity cultivation too. He could integrate it with the general cultivation. He formed his hand gestures and began to chant another mantra from the nine-heaven Divine Sutra. Momentarily, Zeal's body began to change. The power of heaven and earth irrigated his entire body. But Zeal was weak, after all, so after an hour of cultivation, his head felt dizzy, and he unintentionally fell asleep.
On a peaceful sunny morning, Zeal woke up. However, he felt the overbearing heat of the sun in his wake. Unbeknownst to Karl Zeal, he had slept for six days; however, when he opened his eyes, Zeal noticed that his whole body was sweating profusely; he also had a pained expression. Of course, no one knew if it was a minor or major issue; unfortunately, only Zeal could tell. At this moment, he stretched his hand long and high, and they made a series of reverberating noises. Zeal rose and spun his head mildly, and his neck broke out with a sharp sound. But after doing all this, Zeal noticed that his body was alright. He also discovered that something had destroyed every feeling of the poison he felt before. Even his hazy and heavy condition was no more; he was happy.
Zeal had a faint feeling that maybe Sou Long had been feeding him pills, and those pills had to resist poisoning. Or that he had a force in his body that nullifies poisoning. After all, he had been practicing the whole nine-heaven Divine sutra since he came around. So maybe his body could really resist poisoning. In any case, he still had to thank the old thing. Even though he threw him into the oven, he at the very least left him some ways of survival.
Zeal sat down and began to cultivate his Soul-eyes perception technique again. He had to realign himself with the surrounding. At this moment, he began to reflect on the snake's movement (Cobra king and queen). The snake gait became more distinct in his mind the further he studied them. And he vigorously grabbed every detail. And just like that, seconds passed, minutes expired, and even hours. At this moment, Zeal stood and looked around calmly. His waist-level long black hair swayed gently with the wind, making his appearance slightly tempting. But suddenly, Zeal yawned and then sighed. "My stomach needs food; I've been surviving on the chess nuts that evil thing gave me. So where would I find an edible fruit?" Zeal asked no one in particular.
Zeal could only move around to see if he could find any edible fruit in the ghost Ashura forest. In fact, from what he knew, this forest was a cannibalistic evil forest. So it wouldn't surprise him if there was nothing edible. "Who knew if poisonous fruits awaited me just to eat it; this forest would want me to eat and die?" The whole thing vexed Zeal to no end. "Does the old man think of him as a monk who could Survive on mere nuts? Who would agree to live such a dead still life? " Zeal was aggrieved.
