Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 263 is related to the awakening of the Snake King?
Dahuangbian Village, Xu family courtyard.

"Squeak--" the wooden door was pushed open, and Xu Binghu walked in, covered in filth. Lian Ji, who was in the room, heard the noise outside and immediately came out to check. She skillfully prepared clean clothes and put them in the washing area.

"Alas, the snake demon has been near the village for several days, and we still haven't killed it all!"

Xu Binghu took the clothes with a puzzled look on his face. Ever since the snake demon attacked the village, white snake demons have been wandering around the village. Moreover, these white snake demons that appeared were not afraid of the Seven-Leaf Flower improved by Xu Ran, and could only be killed manually.

"Is there no solution?" Lian Ji asked.

Although she stayed at home all the time, she could hear all kinds of news when she went out to visit neighbors every day. Lian Ji was very clear about this matter that concerned the entire village.

"There's nothing we can do right now. We can only search the village from all directions and then kill them. Otherwise, if we sneak into the village, who knows what will happen!"

Xu Binghu was also somewhat helpless. After all, in the entire Dahuangbian Village, he was the only one who could easily kill these snake monsters with extremely high defense. For others, even if they had experienced their first body refining, it would require the cooperation of several people and they would have to pay the price of getting injured before they could kill a snake monster.

Besides him, his son Xu Ran also has a pet named Xiaobai. Not to mention whether they have time to pay attention to trivial matters like the snake demon, they are nowhere to be seen all day, let alone be asked to kill the snake demon.

But then, Xu Binghu's tone also showed some anticipation, "Fortunately, we have killed enough snake monsters in the past few days. The people in the village have collected the beast blood and materials for the second body refining. There is no shortage of snake gallbladders and snake bones. We also have weapons and armor made from snake scales. I can relax a little in the future."

When the village guard team was disbanded today, he and Old Qi took a thorough inventory in the village's collective warehouse and found that there was enough for the entire village to undergo a second round of physical training.

Speaking of Xu Ran, Xu Binghu looked around the yard and asked, "Madam, where is Xiao Ran? Why isn't he practicing in the yard?"

Aside from the first two days when he didn't go home, Xu Ran had been sitting cross-legged in the yard practicing, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon as he said. But why was he gone today?

Lian Ji also noticed that Xu Ran was missing and suddenly became worried, "Could Xiao Ran have gone out again on Xiaobai?"

After what happened yesterday, both of them were nervous again.

Just as the two were about to go out to look for it, a loud crane cry was heard in the sky. Looking up, they saw it was Xiaobai, who was completely white.

Even in the dark clouds, the couple could clearly recognize this figure.

But today was a little different. Beside Xiaobai, there was a small figure. Looking up from the ground, it was only the size of a pebble, and was a little different from Xiaobai's figure. It was hard to tell what it was, but it looked very familiar.

Before the couple could react, two figures in the sky suddenly rushed down. In just five breaths, the figures of a man and a falcon landed in the Xu family yard, raising a cloud of dust. For a moment, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji could not see clearly what was in front of them.

At this time, Xiaobai spread its wings and fanned away all the dust in front of its eyes. The couple's eyes became clear again, and then the figures of their son Xu Ran and their pet Xiaobai appeared.

Now, the couple finally knew who the figure that had been following Xiaobai high in the sky was. It was their son, Xu Ran!
"Dad, Mom, we are back!!" Xu Ran's childish voice sounded, and Xiaobai beside him put tonight's dinner on the ground and called out softly a few times.

Hearing the presence of their son and Xiaobai, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji came back to their senses from their shock.

Xu Binghu, "Xiao Ran, did you just fly down from a high altitude?"

Xu Binghu's voice was a little trembling, but also with a hint of anticipation.

Xu Ran nodded, "Yes, I've gained a new magical power in the past two days. I can now fly in the air!"

"I didn't come home last night because I was trying to comprehend my magical powers."

Xu Ran's tone was very calm, as if everything was as it should be.

Lian Ji, "Xiao Ran, why didn't you tell us you were going out to practice? We would have been happy if you had told us in advance!!"

Lian Ji's words were also somewhat excited.

From childhood to adulthood, she had only heard stories about flying at high altitudes in myths and legends. Today, when the actions of the immortals in the myth happened to her son, she was very unbelievable and excited.

Xu Ran scratched his head. "Yesterday I was just learning the basics and didn't fully comprehend it. Today, Xiaobai found a perfect place for me to practice, so I was able to barely keep up with Xiaobai's speed."

Originally, Xu Ran was going to come back sitting on Xiaobai's back, but when he was in the sky, he saw that his father had returned home earlier than him. In order to stop being nagged, he simply told the two of them that he could now fly.

In this way, he could not only have an excuse for not going home for a day and a night, but also set a premise for going to the mountain stream to practice later. Otherwise, if he did not go home for a night again, his father and mother would be so worried.

"Hahaha--"

Suddenly, Xu Binghu laughed out loud in the yard, and the sound was so loud that several families living nearby could hear his voice clearly.

Lian Ji was perhaps frightened by Bing Hu's sudden laughter and said angrily, "What are you doing? You scared me!!"

"Hehe!" Xu Binghu also knew that his behavior was a bit exaggerated, and immediately restrained himself, "I'm just happy!!"

The fact that Xu Ran can fly really makes Xu Binghu happy.

When Master Qi gave them the Body Refining Secret Book, he said that whoever carried the Body Refining Secret Book would be able to fly in the sky.

According to Mr. Qi's description, those people must be at least 30 years old and above to achieve this. His son Xu Ran, who was only one year and three months old, had already achieved this. Moreover, he could fly in the air, which was much better than those people Mr. Qi had seen.

"If Mr. Qi knew about this, he would be terrified!" Xu Binghu guessed.

"There's no need to let other people in the village know about this." Xu Ran said.

"Right, right, right!" Xu Binghu replied quickly, "The villagers are just about to undergo their second body training today. If they knew Xu Ran could already fly, it might undermine their confidence."

There were several promising young people in the village who had already reached 800 kilograms in their first physical training. If they knew about Xu Ran's situation, they might be directly devastated and never recover. With that, Xu Binghu took the clothes Lian Ji handed him and went to wash up. After all, being covered in the snake demon's blood was not pleasant.

Lian Ji simply prepared the dinner that Xiao Bai brought back, and Xu Ran set up the grill in the yard. After a while, Lian Ji came out with dinner. Xiao Bai skillfully put the dinner on the grill, then squatted quietly beside it, looking at the sizzling dinner with shining eyes.

The meat was roasted, and Xu Binghu came out with a small meat-cutting knife in his hand. He skillfully cut off a goat leg and placed it in front of Xu Ran, then cut off another goat leg and placed it in front of Xiaobai. He took one of the remaining two goat legs and one each for himself and Lian Ji.

However, Lian Ji couldn't eat that much, so she only cut off a few pieces of meat and handed the remaining lamb leg to Xu Ran, "Xiao Ran, you've worked hard in training, eat more!"

"Thank you, mother!"

Even though Xu Ran is only a little over one year old now, his energy consumption is very huge. He practiced in the mountain stream for an entire afternoon today. He had no idea how many times he was cut by the wind blades inside and how much blood he had shed. Even with the innate energy to repair himself, the consumption was still huge.

Moreover, Xu Ran himself had not reached the level of fasting, so he ate more and more. Fortunately, the goat Xiaobai brought back today was a monster. It was big enough and the energy contained in its meat was enough. Otherwise, one goat would not be enough for the Xu family to eat.

After Xu Binghu had gnawed away the entire goat leg until there was no meat left, he cut off a piece of meat from its belly.

"The meat of this monster is really delicious. Moreover, you only need to eat it once a day, so you don't need to eat any other food all day!"

As he goes into the mountains to hunt and patrol the village every day, his daily consumption is huge, but even so, eating a whole monster at night can keep him going for a whole day.

"I have to thank Xiaobai for all this!!" Lian Ji said.

Xiaobai brought back dinner every day. As for Xu Binghu, it was a little difficult to ask him to kill a monster every day in the mountains that was enough for the whole family to eat. Moreover, he had been busy with the snake monster recently and had even less time.

When Xiaobai heard someone praising him, he raised his head, but still had a large piece of meat in his mouth.

At this point, Xu Binghu was also a little confused. "I don't know why, ever since the snake demon attacked the village, there have been more and more monsters in the mountains. Now, the previous beast area has directly become a monster area."

"All the wild beasts in the mountains have disappeared and turned into monsters?!"

Xu Ran's words suddenly made him alert.

All the wild beasts in the mountains turned into monsters?
Did all these changes begin after the snake demon attacked the village? Could this be related to the awakening of the snake king?
At this moment, Xiaobai, who had been concentrating on eating meat, was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal, but the speed at which he chewed the meat became obviously slower.

Could the snake king it had seen deep in the bamboo forest before be related to this matter?

Could it be that the four guards, the jackal, wolf, tiger, and leopard, were hunting monsters deep in the mountains to sacrifice to the Snake King, causing a large number of monsters to flee, turning the area that was originally a wild beast zone into a monster beast zone?

"The place where wild beasts used to be has become a place where monsters live. What should the hunters in the village do? I'm afraid they can't deal with the monsters?" Lian Ji suddenly asked.

Xu Binghu said, "Well, the current strength of the other people in the village does not exceed 1000 kilograms. Even if they have weapons and armor made of snake scales, they can't kill the monster alone."

"To kill even the weakest demon beast, at least five people must work together, without losing anyone, and at a certain price. Only one demon beast can be killed in a day!"

"For the hunters in the village who make a living from hunting, this isn't even enough to feed them!"

"But fortunately, there were enough snake demon corpses stored in the village before, so the villagers won't starve. Besides, we will also have the second body training tonight. After tonight, some people will be able to reach 1000 kilograms of strength. With weapons and armor made of snake scales, it should be no problem to kill a demon beast with our stomachs."

"Even if our strength doesn't reach 1000 kilograms, it's almost there. If we work together, we can still have enough food and clothing, and we don't have to eat snake meat every day!"

Xu Binghu explained a lot, and the more he explained, the easier it became. Although the sudden changes in the mountains put the hunters in the Dahuangbian Village in trouble for a short time, things were getting better and better.

Moreover, the village has a large amount of snake blood, snake bones, snake scales and snake gallbladders. Even if a part of them has to be given to the Cast Iron Village, the stock is still sufficient, not to mention that snake monsters are killed by them every day.

Not long after Xu Binghu finished speaking, bursts of wailing sounds were heard above the village. These sounds were endless, as if someone was being tortured severely.

"Hehe!" Xu Binghu said, "It seems that the people in the village are going to undergo a second round of body training."

In this way, the family spent dinner time amid the villagers' screams and cries.

Moon stars are rare.

Xu Ran was sitting cross-legged in the yard at this time, and the moonlight was shining on him. Strands of faint white light slowly merged into his body, turning into innate qi and being absorbed by the spiritual ocean.

After eating and drinking, Xiaobai lay in the small nest made for him by the villagers, looking at Xu Ran. The scenes of his cultivation in the past few days emerged one by one, and he suddenly thought of a question.

Master Xu Ran has experienced three magical powers: the art of smelling the wind, the art of controlling the wind, and the art of the fairy sword. In addition to the ray of light with a breath of destruction that shot out from his eyebrows, in just a few months, he has been able to stay in the mountain stream for a long time.

In this way, I can practice with my master.

The previous hard battle with the giant eagle in the sky has greatly improved its cultivation. The most important thing is the combat experience, which can only be obtained in actual combat and is very rare.

With its current strength, in the mountains, apart from the sleeping snake king and the four guards of jackal, wolf, tiger and leopard that could pose a threat to it, there was no other monster that could put it in danger. Even if there was, it would not encounter it.

In this case, what ways can I use to improve myself?

Only the battle with the master remains.

The moment this idea came up, it was rejected.

No!

Although his master Xu Ran has made great progress recently, he is still a monster after all, and his strength is not low. He cannot control himself freely. What if he accidentally hurts his master?
It’s still too dangerous!!
After thinking it through, Xiaobai had no choice but to give up! !
