Chapter 161 Giant Eyed Snake Nest
Pei Nai pointed to the area under his tongue and said, "The Hunshu slice should be the memory of its previous user. Just now, in a hurry, the image of this road appeared in front of my eyes."

Her lips parted slightly and her pink tongue curled slightly, revealing the brown leaves underneath.

Da Xi'an stared at her tongue, with mist in his eyes, as if he had a deep desire for it.

Pei Nai shuddered and reminded him, "Don't look at me like that, it's scary. I thought you also had ideas about the Hun Shu Pian."

"No," Daxian retracted his gaze, "I'm not interested in the Hunshu slices, I'm interested in you"

Pei Nai suddenly understood and interrupted him hastily: "Okay, I get it, shut up!"

Daxian looked at her again, his eyes deep. He didn't say anything, but what he wanted to say was all left unsaid.

Grandma Axun had already walked to the front and called out to them, "Come and see!"

Pei Nai ran over quickly, impatiently.

Da Xian's gaze was still on her, and every time he saw her choosing her path without panic, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Grandma Axun leaned over and stared at the white jade crystal cone standing in front of her, pointing at the faintly transparent embryo inside and showing it to Pei Nai.

"Snake eggs?" Pei Nai was surprised.

Grandma Axun nodded, "Maybe it can also be considered a snake fetus."

There are many such tiny snake eggs inside a crystal cone. Pei Nai looked at the various crystal cones densely packed in the pit. How many one-eyed snakes are there here?

"Have we entered a snake's nest?" Daxian exclaimed.

Grandma Xun looked around and said, "It's better to be careful. There might be one-eyed snakes that haven't left yet. It's very dangerous to us."

"You said that we can reach the dark layer of the twentieth domain from here. Where do we go down?" she asked Pei Nai again.

Pei Nai walked through the empty path between the crystal cones and headed forward. "In the center of the cave, there is an entrance to the dark layer. Follow me."

As they got closer to the center of the cave, they saw that many white jade crystals had fallen over and collapsed, and all the snake eggs inside had disappeared. It seemed that once the eggs were hatched, the crystals would shatter.

Grandma Axun squatted down, peeled off the fragments of the crystal cone, and took out a piece of fluorite half the size of a palm from it.

Grandma Axun's eyes widened, and when she realized what it was, she suddenly called them to stop.

Pei Nai and the others stopped and went over to take a look.

The whole body of the fluorite was a light silver color, and inside it there was a multi-colored light as bright as stars in the sky, which flickered finely, and was crystal clear and moist.

"Is this kind of stone very famous?" Pei Nai asked puzzledly.

Grandma Xun shook her head. "It's not that it's famous, we just thought it was extinct. The Zhubei Spear, Xihan Knife, and Nanqiang Sword from the Upper Three Mountains, as well as the Hunxi Whip, Mingsuo Meteor Hammer, and Shangbai Stick from the Five Mountains, these peerless magic weapons, in addition to the rare gold and stone materials inside meteorites such as Gongshan Black Stone, also added this kind of silver jade when they were forged."

"Silver Sparkling Water Jade?" Pei Nai repeated.

Grandma Axun nodded and continued, "A hundred years ago, our ancestors used the last four pieces of silver-shining water jade to forge the Hunxi Whip and Mingsuo Meteor Hammer. After that, the silver-shining water jade became a legendary divine treasure. It turns out that it came from here!"

"Take a few pieces with you?" Daxian said without hesitation.

Grandma Axun was not displeased. Instead, she was very supportive and said, "Take a few pieces away. You will definitely need them later."

After saying this, Grandma Axun put the silver sparkling water jade in her hand into the package.

Pei Nai and the others also helped in the search, but there were not many collapsed white jade crystal cones, and the small crystal cones did not contain what they were looking for.

After walking around for a while, I finally found a piece of silver-shining water jade in a large pile of crystal cone fragments.

"It seems that only a few of these large crystal cones have silver-shining water jade inside." Pei Nai analyzed with a frown.

This judgment shortened their search time, and they found five more in a short time. There were not many crystal cones that could form water jade in the cave, and most of them had to be found far away.

When they were putting the silver-shining water jade into Grandma Xun's bag, Pei Nai suddenly felt a chill on his back and a creepy feeling.

She was about to turn around, but saw that Daxian's guard had his eyes wide open. He pointed behind Pei Nai, his face pale with fear.

Pei Nai turned around and saw two giant eyes sitting at the top of the cave.

The thick support at the base of the eyeball looks like a stone wall at first glance, but it is as flexible as a snake and is covered with a layer of dense scales.

The two eyeballs are independent at the left and right ends, and their roots originate from the walls on both sides of the cave.

He was hiding just now, causing them to let down their guard.

The eyeball was several times larger than the one-eyed python's eye, hanging in the sky, terrifying and frightening.

Just as they were stunned, two eyeballs pressed forward, shortening the distance between them by half.

"Run!" Pei Nai didn't hesitate, pulled Grandma Xun over and ran towards the entrance of the twentieth domain.

Daxian and his personal guards followed immediately.

Fortunately, they were very close to the center cave entrance.

It was pitch black below and she couldn't be sure of its safety, but there was no other choice now. Pei Nai could only trust the memory given to her by the Hun Shu Pian.

They leaped and fell on the ordinary stone ground.

Pei Nai rolled over and over with Grandma Xun to mitigate the impact of falling to the ground.

When they stopped, they were already far away from the entrance, and Daxian and the others had also arrived.

But the giant eye was still pressing down at the uncovered entrance of the cave.

The pupils looked towards them.

"It's so scary. I think I'm going to have nightmares about this scene in the future," Pei Nai joked in pain.

Da Xian asked in confusion: "Do these two giant eyes have the ability to attack?"

"Based on the virtue of the twenty-first domain, I think there must be one, but we ran too fast and haven't experienced it yet." Pei Nai helped Grandma Xun stand up from the ground.

Under the dim light from the entrance, Grandma Xun responded, "That's right. Those two giant eyes should be the guardians of the snake nest, so the one-eyed snakes dare not enter after hatching."

Pei Nai looked around and felt that the 20th Domain Dark Layer was aptly named.

There was nothingness, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

"Mother-in-law, the scene in front of me only went up to this point, so I don't know the way ahead. We didn't enter from the entrance you are familiar with, but can we still find the exit?" Pei Nai asked.

Grandma Axun reached out to touch the stone wall and said, "Leave it to me. Look here."

With the last dim light, Pei Nai saw the chisel marks on the stone wall.

"This kind of carved mark will occasionally appear on the stone walls of the dark layer. It is the guidance left by our predecessors for future generations when they explored the twenty-one domains. With this mark, we can find the entrance to the twenty-first domain." Grandma Axun explained.

Pei Nai listened and thought about the thrilling experience just now. He couldn't help but sigh, "Many ancestors of the Valley Country must have sacrificed their lives in the meteorite, right?"

"Yes, people die here every year, but in order to explore the unknown and to obtain these priceless resources, everyone feels that the sacrifice is meaningful." Grandma Axun's voice sounded faintly in the silence.

She lowered her head and squeezed the ore in the package. "Although it was unfortunate to run into the Ancestral Python head-on, getting the Silver Glowing Water Jade can be considered a blessing in disguise. These seven pieces of Silver Glowing Water Jade are enough to subvert the cognition of those old guys."
