He noticed that Ming Ye seemed to look elsewhere, but was actually sneaking glances at the black snake.
As though there was something valuable on its body, he dared not speak.
At this moment.
Shan Feng rushed over, urgently reminding: "Brother Wang, quickly take off the fangs and extract the poison."
"This is the Southern Heavenly Realm’s most venomous snake feared even by the Giant King."
Upon hearing this.
Ming Ye clenched his fists quietly, that fool!
Did he have to remind them!
Central Earth’s people simply did not know the snake’s true value.
His expression was one of frustrated resentment.
Jiang Fan showed surprise.
"Feared by the Giant King?"
"But it’s just a Nine Orifice level snake."
He found it hard to believe.
If it were Nascent Soul at Nine Aperture, facing the Giant King would be like an ant facing an elephant.
Impossible to pose any threat.
Shan Feng was delighted: "I’m not lying."
"The Dark Night Black Snake counts among the few things that can restrain Ancient Giants."
"Its venom affects the Asura Clan and Ancient Giants differently despite being of the same realm."
"If it bites our Asura King, it would only cause slight discomfort."
"But if it bites the Giant King, it would instantly cause him to die from the poison."
Oh?
Jiang Fan was extremely amazed.
The Ancient Giants immune to many divine skills and spells were instead restrained by the poison of the Dark Night Black Snake?
He immediately took out a jade bottle, intending to take the snake’s fangs.
However.
He carefully avoided getting too close.
Instead, he went to the side of the tongue and pressed down the snake’s head with the Purple Sword.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it touched.
The snake’s head came alive, dragging its sinew and skin, lunging forward.
Yet just as it rose, a claw slapped it back onto the ground.
It was the Five-Colored Rooster.
Jiang Fan chuckled: "Thank you, Brother Rooster!"
The Five-Colored Rooster proudly raised its neck and clucked, transforming into a feather and back into Jiang Fan’s chest.
Thus, Jiang Fan approached the snake’s head and extracted the green snake venom into the jade bottle.
If smeared on a magic artifact and hit an Ancient Giant, the effect would be fatal indeed.
"Are these snakes abundant?"
Jiang Fan stored the jade bottle, eyes full of hopeful expectation, asking.
If he could take some back to nurture, accumulating enough snake venom, Central Earth would have more means to deal with Ancient Giants.
Shan Feng shook his head: "Such rare species that restrain Ancient Giants, as if they would let it persist?"
"They’ve long been nearly exterminated."
"Not a single one is easy to find."
"A Nine Aperture Dark Night Black Snake like this now, if not unique, is absolutely rare."
Jiang Fan felt a hint of regret.
Those Ancient Giants are truly cunning!
Since the Stone Giant King had left, they should take action.
"Village Chief, please lend a secret chamber for my friend to rest."
Ming Ye remembered the palace-garbed woman in deep sleep and did not suspect anything.
He promptly arranged for them a secret chamber.
Jiang Fan placed Song Lingyu down, along with the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.
Their journey to the Black Sun Royal Court was rife with danger.
If they were to fall there, the Connecting Sky Black Pillar would be left behind as well.
In such a case, it would undoubtedly endanger the other investigating teams,
leaving the Connecting Sky Black Pillar in a village where Ancient Giants can’t enter is undeniably safest.
"Vice Building Owner Gu, take care of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, don’t let the Black Cloud Village folks discover it."
"If any fellow from Central Earth gets transported to the secret chamber, have them leave quickly."
"Don’t linger unnecessarily."
"This Mingye village chief, he’s quite cunning, so be wary."
Gu Xin’er nodded earnestly: "I understand."
With the retreat secured.
Jiang Fan went outside to regroup with everyone.
"Village Chief, are we heading directly to the Black Sun Royal Court?"
"Wouldn’t the Ancient Giants spot us immediately?"
Ming Ye understood Jiang Fan’s concern, smiling wryly:
"You wish to obtain the Ancient Giant Totem like Elder Defeng, to avoid capture?"
"Don’t even think about it."
"This requires a Giant King with an Original Star, along with the ability to engrave an Ancient Giant Totem to leave a totem for others."
"Can you really invite a Giant King to help you?"
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.
Contemplating, he said:
"I just might be able to invite a Giant King."
