Another Disciple, pulling the tail of a male Golden Ox, said with effort.
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
The more than seven hundred male Golden Oxen of the Soaring Camp were all future warriors, so it was fine if they had a bad temper.
However, the matter of improving the Soaring Overlord could proceed.
If he found a Cold Flame Snake in Little Dragon Valley, the problem of the golden ox spear easily deforming would be solved.
The snakes in Little Dragon Valley hadn't woken up yet, so he had to go quickly.
Qian Duoduo took ten thousand spirit chicken eggs from the Spirit Chicken Garden and headed straight for Little Dragon Valley.
The Spiritual Beast Scroll stated that the food snakes loved most was eggs.
The spring breeze that had just started blowing had not yet reached Little Dragon Valley.
The valley was still filled with snakes lying haphazardly like dead wood.
Entering the cave and descending to the point where he had stopped last time, Qian Duoduo shouted in his heart:
"Liu Bo, can I go down now?"
Liu Boli floated out.
"To be safe, you should send your Puppet down first to scout the way."
Listen to advice, and you'll eat well.
Qian Duoduo took out the sweeping Puppet and the long whip Puppet, letting the long whip Puppet wrap its long whip around the sweeping Puppet to lower it.
However, even when the long whip of the long whip Puppet, which was dozens of feet long, reached its end, the sweeping Puppet still didn't touch the bottom of the cave.
Although he had opened the Upper Spirit Sea, Qian Duoduo's Spiritual Awareness had just extended down when it froze into a blank.
Qian Duoduo thought again, even Liu Boli's Spiritual Awareness couldn't penetrate the Ice Gale below, let alone his own.
Was he going to return empty-handed again?
"Liu Bo, I want to go down and see."
Qian Duoduo retrieved the sweeping Puppet and threw a few spirit chicken eggs into the cave below.
"I think that if a cave in a Lower Road Sect contains power beyond the Sect, it's worth questioning."
Liu Boli nodded first, then shook his head.
"There is indeed a problem. But this problem shouldn't be solved by you."
Qian Duoduo chuckled.
"Don't I have you as a backer?"
"Stop—even I, this backer, have times when I can't hold on."
"A small Lower Road Sect, and you, a Heavenly Human Realm, can't handle it?"
"My method is to wait a bit longer. Your goal is the Cold Flame Snake. You don't even know if it's down there, so is it worth risking it?
If there's nothing down there, or if it's something else, not a Cold Flame Snake, then your risk will be worthless."
Liu Boli's mind was still very clear.
That's right, he was here to find a Cold Flame Snake.
What if there was no Cold Flame Snake down there, but something terrifying like the little girl? That would be a huge loss.
But what if there was a Cold Flame Snake down there?
That's it. Snakes love to eat eggs. He would use spirit chicken eggs to bait them.
If there was a Cold Flame Snake, then he would consider the risk. If not, he would go back.
"Wait for me a moment."
Qian Duoduo found a place to sit down and added three sharp Ming Iron hooks to the long whip of the long whip Puppet.
After throwing a few hundred spirit chicken eggs into the cave, Qian Duoduo boiled dozens more in the cauldron, peeled the shells, and hung them on the Ming Iron hooks.
If a Cold Flame Snake was greedy, as long as it bit onto a Ming Iron hook, it wouldn't escape.
After lowering the long whip with the spirit chicken eggs attached into the cave entrance, Qian Duoduo sat down cross-legged.
"Master, just for a little while. If we don't catch anything, we'll go back."
Liu Boli smiled.
"I've seen fishing and turtle fishing, but I've never seen snake fishing. Now I have."
He returned to the Golden Toad to rest, while Qian Duoduo guarded the cave entrance, relying on his sense of touch to feel the movement of the long whip.
Every now and then, he would pull up the long whip to see if he had caught anything.
The long whip hung straight down into the dark cave entrance, without any movement.
"Nine more. One more pull, and if nothing is caught, we'll go back."
Qian Duoduo said to himself in his heart.
After ten breaths, Qian Duoduo pulled once.
The weight of the long whip was the same as before; evidently, nothing had been caught.
Qian Duoduo stood up, his heart as empty as the Ming Iron hooks.
"Three more pulls, the last three. If I don't catch anything, I'll go back."
Qian Duoduo was unwilling, he persuaded himself, and squatted down again.
"One... Two... Three, huh?"
On the third pull, Qian Duoduo felt as if something had touched the long whip, and he suddenly pulled the long whip up—
One spirit chicken egg on the long whip was gone!
On one of the Ming Iron hooks, there was still a trace of blood!
There must be something down in this cave!
