Returning from the Immortal World

chapter-36
A dumbstruck expression appeared on the faces of 4 people headed by Banshou when they saw the piles of snake meat and snake skin on the ground.
“B-B-B… B-Boss, you couldn’t have killed this Evil Dragon from the Walled Hill Star Lake, right?” A look of surprise and horror covered Banshou’s face as he glanced at Tang Xiu whilst asking in a stammering voice.
“Evil Dragon? What’s that all about?” Tang Xiu originally wanted to scold Banshou since he talked too much, but he swallowed his words back because Banshou seemed to be very familiar with Walled Hill Village.
Since Tang Xiu wanted to know more about Walled Hill Village, he had inquired about it to the farmers from the hill’s foot village yesterday afternoon. However, these locals were tight-lipped, and obviously had a wary and vigilant mentality against foreigners. Thus, it was very hard for Tang Xiu to get accurate information from their mouths.
“I… I actually came from this Walled Hill Village. I heard from my grandfather that there is an Evil Dragon from the Walled Hill Star Lake hiding in this Walled Hill Village. Whenever a full moon arises, it will go out from the Walled Hill Star Lake to prey on the livestock raised by the villagers. As time passed, the people in Walled Hill Village were simply afraid to rear any livestock again, since it meant that it was the same as feeding and raising the Evil Dragon.”“For fear of being attacked and injured by the Evil Dragon, every house in this hill must hang a red lantern in front of their houses and all the lights also must be lit on. The hunters were also afraid to hunt in the hills as to avoid accidentally being preyed on and devoured by the Evil Dragon.”
“But speaking about it, it’s strange though. It’s been 20 years, and never once have we heard the news about this Evil Dragon again. We thought that the Evil Dragon had died or moved from this place. So I never thought that it would appear again now. Moreover, you’re the one who killed it.”

Due to excitement, Banshou told everything he knew about the Black Python’s information in an intermittent manner. He also told the rumors, even if he didn’t know whether the rumors were true or fake. It was because Tang Xiu himself obviously had heard some of these rumors fabricated by the villagers.
“There was no news of movement in the past 20 years. This means that this Black Python was trying to break through a bottleneck for 20 years, or because it was in a weak state due to injuries?” Suddenly, a trace of brilliance flashed over Tang Xiu’s eyes.
If the Black Python was in a weak state for 20 years because of injuries, then it meant that there was another fierce beast hiding in the Walled Hill Village. Thus, the materials needed to concoct the Body Refining Liquid to cultivate the Second Layer of Stars Tyrannical Body for the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis was already solved.
With 5 people’s muscles, all the snake meat on the ground had already been loaded onto the big truck in half an hour.Almost at the same time, Banshou also received a phone call from Dingzi, who informed him that he had rented a freezer compartment.
“Boss, do you want to rent the freezer compartment to store these snake meats? But it’s quite a lot, you won’t be able to completely use it by yourself. How about we supply the remaining great amount of surplus to Linjia Restaurant and sell it there? We can make another source of income as well as pay the rent for the warehouse this way.” Halfway to the destination, Banshou mumbled.
“All of these snake meats are extremely poisonous. Besides, I have other uses for them, and it’s not edible food.” Tang Xiu stared at Banshou for a moment and spoke in a deep tone.
Upon hearing Tang Xiu’s explanation, Banshou couldn’t help but sweat. He knew that he had said something wrong and hastily apologized.
