Chapter 39: Eighth-Rank Bilin Snake

"Brother Zhou, don't fight any longer and leave quickly."

At this time, several of the eldest brothers had come out, each holding a box half a person's height in their hands. They went to different locations and placed the boxes and activated the mechanism.

Zhao Kuo shouted, "Oh no, it's a trap box, Brother Zhou, get out of that encirclement quickly."

Seeing this, Li Ba immediately retreated. Zhou Chen wanted to chase him but Li Ba threw a handful of green ash at him. The ash looked poisonous, so Zhou Chen had no choice but to retreat.

Li Ba stood on the roof and said, "Today is the day you die." The mechanism had been activated and it was impossible for Zhou Chen to escape. Several small balls were shot out of the mechanism, and the moment they came out, they turned into large poisonous nets that covered Zhou Chen.

Zhao Kuo wanted to go forward and destroy the mechanism, but was stopped by someone. "Captain Zhao, I advise you not to go over there. We will not be responsible if the mechanism hurts you."

Zhou Chen was seen dodging several large nets by moving left and right in the array, and then countless flying needles flew towards Zhou Chen in the middle. The people in the martial arts gym were all at a safe distance, and the flying needles could not reach them.

However, Zhou Chen in the formation had nowhere to hide. Even if his body skills were amazing, he could not avoid such intensive attacks because there was no place for him to hide.

Even if Zhou Chen had an iron vest, it would be useless, because although the iron vest can defend against ordinary attacks, the flying needles are highly poisonous and can still poison Zhou Chen to death as long as they touch the skin.

Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Zhou Chen activated his magical power with a thought. Strong winds rose up around his body, and the flying needles were directly caught by the impenetrable strong wind.

Zhou Chen also figured it out. Although this mechanical array looked powerful, it was only useful for warriors of the lower three ranks. If a warrior with true Qi encountered it, it would be no problem at all, because others had true Qi to protect their bodies, and this poison would not be a problem at all.

If Zhou Chen, who had no supernatural powers, encountered this, he would probably have died a miserable death, but there are no ifs.

After the next round of flying needles, wind blades condensed above the black abyss, and then a knife was swung out. The wind blades flew out and directly shattered the two mechanism boxes. Zhou Chen took advantage of this gap and ran out directly.

Li Ba was shocked. He had already been shocked when Zhou Chen used the Wind Controlling Technique. Although he knew that Zhou Chen's swordsmanship was very strange, he did not expect that he actually had the legendary sword energy that only the middle third grade could possess.

He knew he was no match for Zhou Chen, "I lost, Doctor Hua, you guys can take him away." Zhou Chen stood at a distance and did not continue to kill.

After all, it was broad daylight, and she would not kill anyone in front of Zhao Kuo. At the very least, she would wait until night when Zhao Kuo was not around.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and bring the man named Hua here!" After hearing his words, the disciples hurriedly went to invite Doctor Hua out. After seeing Doctor Hua, Zhou Chen and his friends were also shocked, because Doctor Hua had iron chains on his neck and wrists.

Zhao Kuo said angrily, "Master Li, what do you mean by this? Why did you detain Doctor Hua without permission?"

"There's nothing I can do. The old man refused to treat my son's illness, so I locked him up in a fit of rage."

Seeing Captain Zhao and Doctor Hua also hurried over to complain, Zhou Chen casually cut the chain on him with a knife, and it broke instantly.

"Captain Zhao, please help me. His son's arm is broken, but he insists that I reconnect it. How do you think I should do it?"

Zhao Kuo was also very angry when he heard his words, but even if this matter was reported to the government, Li Ba would at most fine him some silver.

Li Ba was also very conscious and with a glance, a disciple immediately came forward and handed over a silver note worth one thousand taels.

Zhao Kuo took the silver note and handed it to Doctor Hua, saying, "Take it. Even if it goes to Lord Xia, he will just have to pay some silver as compensation. It's impossible for us to chop off his head because of this."

Doctor Hua could only sigh and put away the silver. Then the people in Ba Dao Martial Arts School could only watch them leave. After they left, they quickly came to the county government office. Doctor Hua took a look at Leng Yiyao and was shocked, "What a vicious poison."

“Does the miracle doctor have a way to detoxify?”
"Yes, there is, but there is one main ingredient that is not available in the county."

Zhao Kuo quickly asked, "I don't know what medicine it is. I'll send someone to find it right away."

Doctor Hua said with an embarrassed look, "This medicine is not available."

Zhou Chen asked curiously, "I wonder what medicine it is?"
"Bilin snake gall, and it must be the eighth grade Bilin snake gall. Originally, if it was earlier, only ordinary Bilin snake gall would be enough, but now the poison has entered the Sui Dynasty, only the eighth grade Bilin snake gall is useful."

After hearing the news, everyone fell into deep thought.

Zhou Chen sighed and said, "I wonder how much time Miss Xia has left?"
Doctor Hua said, "I guarantee that Miss Xia will be fine within 7 days."

Leng Yiyao was also nearby. After hearing what he said, she knew what he meant. She asked, "Brother Chen, what are you doing?" without caring whether there were people around.

"Yiyao, don't worry, I have already reached the eighth level. This Green Scaled Snake is nothing to me."

"That doesn't work, what if? The Bilin Snake is also of grade 8. Do you think I'm stupid?"

If I had taken action earlier, he wouldn't have been like this, so I have a certain responsibility. Besides, I am the only one who has reached the eighth level here, so if I don't go, who will go?

"Whoever wants to go can go, but I won't allow you to go."

Zhao Kuo said, "Brother Zhou, Sister Yi Yao is right, you can't go."

That night Zhou Chen tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Looking at Leng Yiyao lying next to him, he sighed and gave up the idea. In fact, he was confident that he could deal with the Bilin Snake, but since Leng Yiyao disagreed, he had no choice.

The two were not in a hurry to leave the county government office. Leng Yiyao continued to take care of Xia Rong the next day. Although Xia Rong was still unconscious, she showed a painful expression on her face from time to time.

In the afternoon, Leng Yiyao found Zhou Chen and asked, "Brother Chen, are you sure?"
Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "I'm at least 90% sure." In fact, Zhou Chen also has a way to save Xia Rong, and that is his new demon pattern. The magical power of the new demon pattern is wood method.

Mu Fa has the ability to regenerate, but his Mu Fa is an offensive magical power. Although it can also be used to save people, doing so will cause great damage to his demon pattern. After all, it is not a magical power specifically for treatment. If it is forcibly used for treatment, his demon pattern is likely to be damaged, or directly drop to a level.

This was also Zhou Chen’s last resort. Leng Yiyao thought for a while and said, “In that case, you’d better be careful. If it really doesn’t work, run away. Don’t let me become a widow.”

After saying that, he ran away. Zhou Chen knew that he had thought it through. Looking at his back, Zhou Chen murmured, "Don't worry, I won't let you become a widow."

That afternoon, Zhou Chen left the county government office and headed towards Qinghua Mountain. According to Doctor Hua, there was an eighth-grade Bilin Snake on Qinghua Mountain, but it was deep in the mountain.

The heavy snow blocked the mountains. Zhou Chen hadn't been to the deep mountains for a long time, and this time he went even deeper. However, Zhou Chen, who is now at the eighth level, would not be afraid of this danger.

Zhou Chen was seen walking into the mountains with Black Abyss in his hand and an iron bow on his back. On the way, he met two hunters from the same village. When they saw Zhou Chen, they came up to him and wanted to have a companion. After all, Zhou Chen's strength was obvious to all, and they would not be in danger as long as Zhou Chen was with them.

The two of them were the only hunters left in the village. Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'm going to the deepest part of the mountain this time. Are you sure you want to go?"
When they heard that they were going to the deepest part, both of them backed off, and one of them said, "Forget it, we two won't cause any trouble to you, Brother Chen."
