Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 103 Discovered by the Villagers?

The late Western Zhou Dynasty?

Su Chen's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia.

He never expected that this time travel would take him to a familiar ancient era.

"Doesn't this mean I might encounter King You of Zhou, who played with the feudal lords by lighting the beacon fires to amuse Bao Si?"

"It's also possible that we'll see hegemons from the Spring and Autumn Period such as Duke Heng of Qi, King Goujian of Yue, and King Fuchai of Wu?"

"And what about Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Qin Shi Huang from the Qin Dynasty?"

Su Chen's eyes showed surprise.

At the same time, through his observations and speculations over the past few days, he also discovered some things.

The spiritual energy here is scarce; although some supernatural phenomena exist, they are few and far between.

The upper limit of combat power is somewhat similar to that of an anime called Qin's Moon.

Although there are people who wield force, their potential is limited.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

He shook his head, not thinking about it anymore. He lay on a blue stone halfway up the mountain, basking in the sun, while focusing his attention on himself.

After nine days of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to temper his body, his height had reached about three meters, making him somewhat frightening.

Su Chen's gaze fell on the control panel.

Name: Su Chen (0 years old)

Lifespan: 76 years

【Innate Talent & Comprehension: 32033 (Born Divine, Extremely Rare)】————

[Innate endowment/Constitution: Blue python (outstanding)]

[Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 31649]

Energy: 7536

"Lifespan is only seventy-odd years, huh? —"

Su Chen wasn't too surprised.

However, more than seventy years is still longer than the lifespan of most people in this era.

He shook his head. "It's still a bit short. I wonder how much my lifespan will increase after transforming into a dragon?"

After a moment of curiosity, his gaze fell upon the energy.

After these days of accumulation, the energy has reached 7536 points, which is not far from the 31649 points needed to transform into a dragon!

With anticipation, Su Chen continuously drew in sunlight to nourish his innate physique, support his physical growth, and maintain his mobility.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty-one days have passed.

On the familiar bluestone.

A huge blue python lay lazily on the surface, its blue scales gleaming brightly in the sunlight, making it look extremely frightening from a distance.

His body was already over two zhang long, and his thickness was comparable to that of an adult man's thigh.

Even an ordinary person would be startled by the sight of a small snake, let alone such a huge creature!

Just as Su Chen was basking in the sun.

In the misty mountains and forests, ancient trees reach for the sky, and vines hang down.

The damp mountain breeze rustled through the forest.

A young man in his twenties, dressed in coarse linen clothes, was walking on the mountainside in the mist.

The young man was named A Niu. He carried a bamboo basket on his shoulder, held a wooden bow in his hand, and had several feathered arrows hanging at his waist.

He moved slowly forward, cautiously observing his surroundings, trying to see if there were any traces of wild animals.

He had been in the mountains for some time, and if he couldn't find suitable prey, he would probably have to return empty-handed again today.

A light mist hung over the mountains and forests, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional bird song echoing in the distance.

Suddenly, Ah Niu, with his sharp ears, heard a faint sound.

It was like withered leaves being pressed down by something, or like a heavy body rubbing against a stone.

His eyes lit up immediately.

His years of experience in the mountains made him immediately slow his pace and carefully make his way towards the direction from which the sound came.

After walking a few steps, he gently pushed aside the branches and leaves blocking his view and peered ahead.

next moment.

He froze.

A sudden, inexplicable chill ran down my spine and up my head.

Ah Niu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, his limbs were ice-cold, and his legs were somewhat unresponsive.

Not far away, on a huge blue stone, lay an extremely terrifying long blue snake, also known as a Hui.

The snake was two zhang long, with a thick body, even thicker than his thigh. Its entire body was covered with fine blue scales that shone brightly in the light.

Ah Niu was horrified, frozen in place, not daring to even breathe.

Su Chen naturally noticed him as well.

He slowly raised his enormous snake head, his dark, vertical pupils looking indifferently at Ah Niu.

Just a casual glance.

Ah Niu felt as if he were being watched by some ferocious beast, and his heart almost stopped beating.

Looking at the person who had trespassed into the mountains, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

With his current physique, he is no longer afraid of people, but at this stage, he does not want to have any contact with people and does not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Su Chen shook his head.

The next second, his huge snake body slowly swam, his thick body sliding off the bluestone, his scales rubbing against the stone surface, making a soft but unsettling rustling sound.

He swayed his long body and, under Ah Niu's terrified gaze, swam toward the bushes not far away.

The tall wild grass swayed gently.

The enormous blue snake body quickly disappeared into it.

In just a few breaths, it completely disappeared into the depths of the forest.

The forest returned to silence, with the rustling of leaves in the wind.

A while later.

Ah Niu suddenly came to his senses.

His body was still trembling slightly, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

The next moment, he felt a chill in his lower body.

Looking down, I saw that my pants were soaked.

He was so frightened that he wet his pants without even realizing it.

Ah Niu's face turned pale and then red, and he couldn't care less about his shame. Only one thought remained in his mind.

escape!

He turned around abruptly, almost dropping his bow and arrows, and stumbled as he ran wildly toward the foot of the misty mountain.

In the mountains and forests, only the sound of his hurried and frantic footsteps remained.

It was as if a terrifying giant snake was chasing him from behind.

Ah Niu stumbled and ran down Wushan Mountain, and soon returned to the village not far from the foot of the mountain.

It was midday, and many people in the village were busy at work.

Some people were repairing farm tools, some were chopping firewood in the yard, and a woman was carrying a bucket of water back from the river.

Seeing Ah Niu rush into the village with a look of terror on his face and panting heavily, a middle-aged villager who was weaving straw rope at the door of his house immediately frowned.

"Ah Niu? What's wrong? You're in such a panic, what happened?"

Ah Niu was holding his knees, panting heavily, his face still somewhat pale.

After a long while, he finally raised his head and said in a trembling voice, "Fog Mountain—there are snakes on Fog Mountain!"

"What a huge snake!"

The middle-aged villager was taken aback upon hearing this.

"poisonous snake?"

Ah Niu nodded hurriedly, his face full of fear.

"It's true, right there on that big blue rock halfway up the mountain. I saw it with my own eyes. It was terrifyingly long, thicker than my leg, and probably over two zhang long!"

He spoke while gesturing with his hands, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

"When that snake raised its head, it was almost up to my chest!"

As he listened to A Niu's description, the middle-aged villager Shi's face gradually became serious.

The villagers who were busy at work nearby gradually gathered around when they heard their conversation.

"What happened?"

"Ah Niu, what did you just say?"

"A large snake in Fog Mountain?"

More and more villagers gathered around.

Soon, Ah Niu explained it again, and their expressions all changed.

"What?!"

"Ah Niu, are you telling the truth or not?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"If there really is such a large snake in Fog Hill, that would be a terrible thing!"

Ah Niu waved his hands frantically, "How could I dare to lie! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Seeing that his words didn't seem to be false, the surrounding villagers stirred up a commotion after hearing them.
