The ck snake moved swiftly, Lv Donglin instinctively reached out, trying to block it.


    However, before his hand made contact with the ck snake, Su Yang had already acted, grabbing the snake''s seven-inch mark and yanking it off, forcefully tossing it to the ground.


    Lv Donglin was stunned for a moment; Su Yang''s reaction was too fast, even he couldn''t react in time.


    "I could have handled that myself!" Lv Donglinughed, "I was quite skilled at catching snakes as a kid."


    Su Yang waved his hand, "The snakes you caught as a kid are nothing like this one."


    "There''s indeed a difference." Lv Donglin nodded, "This snake is really fast; I didn''t even see it before it lunged at my neck. But I''m not the same as I was back then. Even if I stand here and let it bite me, it couldn''t harm me!"


    "Don''t be so sure!" Su Yang shook his head, speaking gravely, "Take a closer look at this snake."


    Lv Donglin looked down to see the ck snake thrown by Su Yang. After a brief moment of confusion, it began to move again. Its lower body was coiled, and its upper body stood upright, staring intently at Su Yang and Lv Donglin while asionally flicking its tongue, as if trying to intimidate them.


    "Wow, what the heck?" Lv Donglin eximed, "Su Yang, did you hold back just now? After such a hard throw, this snake isn''t dead?"


    Su Yang shrugged, "Take a close look!"


    With curiosity, Lv Donglin observed closely for a while. His eyes opened wide again in surprise, "Hey, Su Yang, look; this snake has legs!"


    "Have you ever seen a snake grow legs?" Su Yang asked.


    Lv Donglin shook his head, then his face suddenly changed, "But dragons have legs; this... could it be a miniaturized dragon?"


    "That''s not it!" Su Yang shook his head, "See how many legs it has."


    Lv Donglin immediately bent over to take a closer look. After counting for a while, he was shocked once again, "Why so many legs? There are dozens! This isn''t a dragon; what dragon looks like this? Even a five-wed golden dragon isn''t like this, this... a centipede dragon?"


    Su Yangughed, "You''re close; this isn''t called a centipede dragon, but rather a Centipede Snake, a highly venomous snake!"


    "Centipede Snake?" Lv Donglin scratched his head, "I feel like I''ve heard of that somewhere before."


    "In mythical legends, it''s a kind of venomous creature that''s a specialty of Kunlun Mountain," Su Yang said, "The Centipede Snake''s venom can kill a Land Immortal. In mythology, it''s said to be the patrolman of The Queen Mother of the West, helping her guard the Turquoise Pool!"


    "Oh, I remember now." Lv Donglin suddenly realized, "I''ve heard stories like that before, but I didn''t expect the Centipede Snake to look like this. And, The Queen Mother of the West has gone to the Heavenly Realm, so why is the Centipede Snake still in Kunlun Mountain?"


    Su Yang said, "Kunlun extends for ny thousand miles; it''s normal for some Centipede Snakes to remain in the mountains. However, theoretically, if they do exist, they should be deep in Kunlun Mountain; why would they appear here?"


    "Could it be those Winged Cultivators entered the mountains and drove these Centipede Snakes out?" Lv Donglin spected.


    "That''s possible too!" Su Yang said solemnly, "If that''s the case, those people have probably ventured deep into Kunlun Mountain. We can''t dy; we must quicken our pace into the mountain!"


    Lv Donglin nodded, then looked at the Centipede Snake, feeling a wave of lingering fear.


    The venom of the Centipede Snake is extremely terrifying; legend says it''s fatal with just a touch. Even a Land Immortal would likely perish if bitten.


    Earlier, Lv Donglin tried to fend off the Centipede Snake with his hand, thinking it was just an ordinary venomous snake. He didn''t regard it as a threat, believing its venom wouldn''t harm him.


    But to his surprise, it turned out to be a Centipede Snake. If Su Yang hadn''t intervened in time to pull the snake away, he might have been bitten. With his abilities, even if he survived, he''d be gravely injured.


    The Centipede Snake eyed Su Yang and Lv Donglin for a while, realizing these two weren''t easy to mess with, it quietly slinked back into the bushes.


    Su Yang and Lv Donglin had no intention of dealing with the Centipede Snake; they were more concerned about the situation deeper in Kunlun Mountain.


    Continuing on their path, they encountered several more Centipede Snake attacks. But after their previous experience, Su Yang and Lv Donglin were prepared, and these snakes couldn''t cause them much harm.


    Half an hourter, the two suddenly discovered a corpse among the bushes ahead.


    It was a blond foreigner with blue eyes, dressed in ck, with wings on his back. Without a doubt, he was a Winged Cultivator, and what''s more, a Land Immortal Realm Winged Cultivator.


    "What happened?" Lv Donglin asked in disbelief, "How did he die here? Did they have a conflict among themselves?"


    Su Yang didn''t answer. He bent over and carefully inspected the corpse. Finally, he found two tiny wounds on the neck, as if pierced by small fangs.


    "It''s the Centipede Snake!" Su Yang said solemnly.


    "Centipede Snake?" Lv Donglin was stunned. Looking elsewhere on the corpse, he found no other wounds, just the two punctures.


    Moreover, the area around the wounds was pitch ck, spreading across the body. This was without a doubt the result of the snake venom spreading.


    "Did the Centipede Snake bite him to death?" Lv Donglin said in shock, "Weren''t there many people traveling together with him? Didn''t they save him?"


    "I suppose they tried to save him, but it was toote," Su Yang said gravely, "Those people probably didn''t know what the Centipede Snake was. After being bitten, they likely thought it was a minor issue and didn''t pay attention. But when the venom took effect, it was toote to detoxify, resulting in his death here!"


    Lv Donglin felt a chill in his heart, knowing that if Su Yang hadn''t saved him earlier, he might have met the same fate as this man. After all, he hadn''t taken the Centipede Snake seriously before, even if bitten, he might not have cared.


    "Kunlun Mountain truly is fraught with dangers!" Lv Donglin said quietly, "Even Land Immortals get killed by Centipede Snakes. No wonder people once considered this ce a forbiddennd!"


    Su Yang didn''t say anything; he continued observing the corpse before him, looking for any clues.


    After a while, Su Yang''s brow furrowed as he spoke solemnly, "Something''s not right!"


    "What''s wrong?" Lv Donglin quickly asked, "What''s out of ce? Is there an issue with this corpse?"
