For cultivation families or major cultivation sects like Medicine King Mountain, the spirit fruits above are not too significant; the key is the spirit roots that can continuously produce spirit medicine and spirit fruits. Their value is the greatest!
However, at this moment, not only Gu Yuan, but many other people also saw this spirit root. Even though their hearts were moved, no one raised any objections to going down to pick it.
It wasn't just because True Monarch Withered Wood was controlling the suspended dragon boat and no one dared to have an opinion, but more because beneath the water next to that spirit root, lurked a massive black shadow. Just a glance filled them with pressure, not much inferior to a Golden Core Great Cultivator like He Ling True Master!
Wherever there are heavenly materials and earthly treasures, there are exotic beasts guarding them. Clearly, although there are many spirit medicines in the Yunmeng Mountain Range, these spirit medicines are not so easy to obtain.
"Damn it!"
Before long, Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly widened greatly.
Because he saw a huge white snake of unknown length coiling around the middle of a mountain ahead.
This white snake coiled around the mountainside several times, each scale on its body shone with a lustrous white light, about the size of a washbasin, glittering with brilliant radiance under the sun.
Moreover, on the snake's head, there was a jade-white single horn, with spiritual light flowing on it, flashing back and forth like electric sparks.
At this moment, the white snake was sleeping, and an extremely oppressive and terrifying aura spread from it. The area within hundreds of miles was silent, with not a single trace of any demon or fierce bird.
Obviously, this was an exotic giant snake. Judging by its colossal size, yet it hadn't transformed into a flood dragon, it most likely possessed the bloodline of some ancient fierce snake!
Although most snakes in this world follow the orthodox path of dragon transformation and flood dragon transformation, not all snakes pursue the True Dragon.
For instance, Ba Snake, Soaring Serpent, Candlelight Nine Yin, Nine-Headed Xiangliu, Heaven-Swallowing Divine Python, etc.
These ancient fierce serpent divine beasts are existences not inferior to True Dragons.
The appearance of the suspended dragon boat startled the white snake.
Its body shuddered, and its two eyes opened, shooting out two blazing divine lights, like divine spears, blasting two deep caves into the ground, with earth and stones flying.
The white snake opened its huge mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and let out a roar.
Ahhh---!!!
The sound was sharp, piercing through gold and cracking stones, echoing for a thousand miles, causing surrounding mountains to tremble and boulders to roll down.
The suspended dragon boat was already in chaos; many warriors, maids, and people with lower cultivation fell to the ground without a sound.
Blood was already flowing out of their ears and nostrils.
Fortunately, the restriction array on the suspended dragon boat was currently active, dispersing more than ninety percent of the terrifying power contained in this sound. Otherwise, these people wouldn't have just been injured and fainted simply; their entire heads would have exploded from the roar entering their brains.
Even Gu Yuan felt his head buzz, falling into a blank state.
His Primordial True Qi turned within his body, and his sword intent resonated, allowing him to break free from the dazed state.
Not only him, at this moment, many disciples on the suspended dragon boat were also affected.
Immediately, the white snake twisted its body and soared into the air, its tail lifted high, then suddenly smashed towards the suspended dragon boat.
That body, as thick as a mountain, although seeming far inferior to the suspended dragon boat, its giant tail was infused with divine power, at this moment like a steel whip of the Giant Spirit God, smashing down with a piercing screech, its momentum grand and terrifying!
As this tail swung down, the air near the suspended dragon boat was rapidly deprived, a sense of crisis surfaced in everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, at this moment, a massive hand several miles large extended from the suspended dragon boat, blocking out the sky and covering the sun.
This gigantic hand was enormously large beyond compare, withered yet full of wooden texture, filled with an intertwining sense of withering/death and vigorous vitality, each inch containing terrifying power.
Bang!
The giant hand slapped on the snake's tail, erupting with a thunderous boom like an explosion.
The shockwave flew across like a mountain, sweeping everything tangible such as trees, mountains, and boulders into dust.
The snake's tail was slapped flying, only then did the gigantic hand slowly retract.
Yet on the snake's tail, only some scales flew off, mixed with spurting blood. Compared to the white snake's colossal size, it was merely a minor injury.
The white snake let out a long hiss, with a sound carrying fury and a hint of dread.
It glared fiercely at the suspended dragon boat flying high above, its ferocious aura soaring skyward, causing even some inner sect disciples to turn pale, their bodies rigid with fear.
Many people, initially holding themselves in high regard with their status and cultivation, along with the suspended dragon boat believed they could roam the vast world.
Even the depths of the Yunmeng Mountain Range were no exception.
But now, encountering this fierce exotic white snake, they realized they had underestimated the Yunmeng Mountain Range too much.
The white snake ultimately did not make a move, allowing the suspended dragon boat to fly overhead.
"Alright, be careful. There are many ancient exotic species and various fierce creatures within the Yunmeng Mountain Range. Even though the suspended dragon boat protects you, it cannot fully shield you."
True Monarch Withered Wood's voice slowly transmitted out, carrying a hint of seriousness.
"Fierce beasts are naturally strong in physique, ancient exotic species need not be mentioned, often able to fight beyond their level relying on their innate physique or even their innate divine techniques. This snake might not be a giant demon at the Yin Spirit level, but it certainly isn't far off! Otherwise, the ancestor Withered Wood wouldn't have only injured it with one palm! Instead of killing it!"
Gu Yuan felt his scalp numb, solemnly gazing at the giant snake coiled on the mountainside behind.
As the suspended dragon boat delved deeper, Gu Yuan encountered various demons and mystical creatures.
Especially on a certain cliff, where a group of demon monkeys lived!
On this cliff, many towering ancient trees grew, the demon monkeys chattering, jumping up and down the branches.
On some branches of these ancient trees, they even built nests with branches, stones, and thatch, somewhat resembling thatched cottages!
On the cliff's precipice, many caves were excavated!
Within these thatched cottages and even the caves, inhabited some demon monkeys!
These demon monkeys plucked and hunted, cooked food, built nests and dwellings, cultivated, and raised offspring, with clear divisions of labor and well-organized, each performing their own role.
This made Gu Yuan feel a burst of horror.
Because this group of demon monkeys possessed extremely high intelligence, clearly having already formed a rudimentary form of civilization!
Moreover, this group of demon monkeys all had extraordinary bloodlines, any adult demon monkey's fur was deep yellow, shimmering with a faint spiritual light, exuding dense demon aura, their strong and robust stature of ten feet not inferior to ordinary Celestial Human Realm cultivators.
Among the monkey group, there were even a few powerful demon monkeys, with an aura comparable to a Holy Golden Core!
Furthermore, from one of the deepest caves on the cliff, a deeply terrifying aura faintly emanated!
