At all times, it is best not to delay earning money. Cheng Xiaofan increasingly found himself to be a typical moneygrubber.
Returning home, after breakfast, he took a shovel and went to the backyard. He dug up a bottle of earthworms, no more, no less, fifty of them.
Fifteen of these earthworms were infused with spiritual energy by him.
The other thirty-five earthworms mixed in had not touched even a shred of spiritual energy. They would be completely useless for attracting the Angding Dragon Fish in Nanshan Lake.
There was no other way. Catching the fish of his dreams depended on luck.
Don't think that just because you spent two million yuan on an earthworm, all your wishes will come true. In reality, such good things don't exist in this world!
Whatever bargain there is, it's for me, Cheng Xiaofan, to pick up!
"Selling earthworms, two million each, super bait, don't miss out!" As soon as Cheng Xiaofan arrived at Nanshan Lake, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
With a splash, a crowd immediately surrounded him.
"Mr. Cheng, sell me one!"
"I'll transfer two million to you right away!"
"Mr. Cheng, it's been three days, and I haven't managed to squeeze in to buy your super bait. Today, you must take pity on me and sell me one!"
"Have pity on me, I have elders to support and children to raise, life is not easy!"
Uh!
What does selling bait have to do with supporting elders and children?
Why are you acting like a beggar?
Only Cheng Xiaofan knew that among the people before him, almost none were worthy of pity. Their killing intent was heavy. If his strength wasn't superior to theirs, these people would have already resorted to robbery.
"Don't push, line up properly. You are all adults, you should know about civility and courtesy!"
Cheng Xiaofan spoke with a tone of earnest concern, saying slowly, "The first fifty people in line will each get one!"
Just as he sold fifty earthworms, he heard a scream not far away: "Ah, I've been bitten by a venomous snake, help!"
"Wow, what kind of snake is this? It looks so... Ah, I've been bitten too!" another person screamed.
"Ah—"
"Ooh ah!"
Following this, a string of screams erupted.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan noticed that about fifty meters away, several people had fallen to the ground one after another. Those around them screamed in terror, fleeing in panic and confusion.
Aren't they all cultivators? What kind of venomous snake has scared you into this state?
What kind of potential can you still achieve in the future!
While grumbling internally, Cheng Xiaofan flew towards the scene of the incident.
He covered more than ten meters in a single step. At fifty meters, Cheng Xiaofan took only five steps... and reached the people lying on the ground.
Whoosh!
Suddenly!
A shadow like a green ribbon attacked Cheng Xiaofan.
A stench filled the air, carrying a murderous aura.
Cheng Xiaofan instantly dodged to the side. His hand became like a dragon's claw, extending forward like lightning. He firmly grasped the shadow that resembled a green ribbon.
It was a snake!
Its entire body was green, and it even had a pair of white wings.
It had a triangular head and blood-red eyes.
On top of its head... it grew a pair of yellow, branch-like horns.
This was a mutated snake, a dragon-snake!
"Hiss hiss!"
The dragon-snake glared fiercely at Cheng Xiaofan with eyes that seemed to be dripping blood, angrily flicking its long tongue, as if to say, "Let me go immediately, believe it or not, I'll bite you to death!"
After all, it was just a mutated snake!
No matter what they called it, a dragon-snake, it was a disgrace to the word "dragon"!
Snap!
Cheng Xiaofan directly crushed the snake.
"Chirp—"
At this moment, the Sky-Shattering Eagle descended from the sky.
Master, can you bestow this snake upon me? This is my favorite delicacy!
Cheng Xiaofan casually tossed the snake towards the Sky-Shattering Eagle. "Catch!"
The Sky-Shattering Eagle somersaulted in mid-air, extended a claw, caught the green snake, and flew to the side to enjoy its meal.
Meanwhile, Cheng Xiaofan took out a Dragon God Pill from his body and gave one to each of the people bitten by the venomous snake.
Simultaneously, he gave them his bank card account and had them each transfer one million to his account.
They were quite prompt, quickly transferring the money to Cheng Xiaofan.
What is more important than life itself?
Having received their money, Cheng Xiaofan, amidst a chorus of profuse thanks, left with a sense of accomplishment.
Not far away, Cheng Xiaofan's sharp gaze scanned the grass.
He wanted to see how many of these mutated snakes were around Nanshan Lake.
Ordinary venomous snakes never attack humans voluntarily.
Only when they feel threatened will they strike.
Moreover, venom is mainly used for hunting prey and is very precious to venomous snakes, used only a few times a year.
However, Cheng Xiaofan found that the mutated venomous snake just now not only attacked humans proactively but also bit people repeatedly.
These mutated snakes are elusive, highly concealed, and produce venom quickly, making them impossible to guard against.
With such aggressive venomous snakes active around Nanshan Lake, it posed not only a fatal threat to visitors but also affected his business.
Once cultivators learned of the fearsomeness of these venomous snakes, who would dare to come?
What Cheng Xiaofan worried about most was that if these snakes entered the village, it would be an endless disaster.
These were not ordinary venomous snakes in nature that he could suppress with dragon energy.
These snakes were simply brainless, only knowing how to attack, and not how to retreat.
Since there was no reasoning with them, there was only one word: death.
Cheng Xiaofan walked along the lake shore for over a hundred meters, eliminating six more of these mutated snakes.
"Chirp!"
The Sky-Shattering Eagle, which had been following Cheng Xiaofan, chirped excitedly, "Master, you don't need to search anymore. I've eaten so many mutated snakes and absorbed enough energy from them. I can control them now."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's face showed surprise: "What, you can control these mutated snakes now?"
"Chirp!" The Sky-Shattering Eagle responded with a nod to its master.
"Master, I can gather these mutated snakes in a canyon deep in the mountains so they don't dare to come out and attack humans. When necessary, I can make them come out to deal with our enemies."
"Haha, that's great!" Cheng Xiaofan was surprised that the Sky-Shattering Eagle had gained such an astonishing ability after eating the mutated snakes.
"Now, give it a try!"
"Chirp—"
The Sky-Shattering Eagle carried Cheng Xiaofan and soared into the sky. They circled Nanshan Lake, then flew towards the nearby mountains.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan noticed countless mutated snakes emerging from the aquatic plants.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
These mutated snakes, sticking to various green plants, flew towards the mountains at light speed.
Due to their incredible speed and the camouflage provided by the green plants, no one noticed that at that moment, they had all already left Nanshan Lake.
