Chapter 3

The snake step, to the human race, is a low-level primordial martial technique. Yao Yue didn't need to cultivate those primordial martial techniques, but after absorbing the blood of the demonic snake, he easily deduced them, which was simply astonishing!

Although this step is not fast, it excels in its unpredictable and varied nature, allowing for unexpected victories in physical combat!

After resting for a while, Yao Yue began practicing a snake-like attack.

He saw his palm transform into a snake's head, continuously striking left and right, up and down, and when combined with the snake step, it produced a highly realistic snake-like attack force.

Yao Yue called this attack "Snake Bite," each move resembling a snake's fierce and swift pounce!

Unconsciously, Yao Yue took the first step towards becoming a powerful being!

Throughout the day, Yao Yue continuously practiced the snake step and Snake Bite, his movements becoming increasingly proficient!

Gurgling!

Yao Yue felt a strange rumble in his stomach, realizing he hadn't eaten for a day or two.

He stopped his movements, sat on the ground with a gloomy expression, and muttered, "If that venomous snake were still around, roasting it and eating it would be nice, but now there's nothing left!"

Smack!

Just as he finished speaking, something hit the back of his head, causing him great pain.

"What is it?" Yao Yue became alert and exclaimed. Then he noticed a wild fruit at his feet.

"Truly, heaven does not abandon me, Yao Yue!" Yao Yue was overjoyed, picked up the wild fruit, and quickly devoured it.

Just then, he heard some sounds and looked in that direction, only to see the little monkey hanging from a vine, also munching on the same fruit.

Yao Yue felt a warm sensation in his heart.

He had been bullied and mocked since childhood, and after becoming a fool, he became a plaything for others. Apart from his birth mother, he had never experienced any care from anyone else.

Now, in this dire situation, it was this little monkey that brought him food, making him feel exceptionally warm.

"Little monkey, in gratitude for bringing me food, I forgive you. If you can lead me out of here, I'll consider you my brother. I tell you, to be my brother, Yao Yue, is a blessing of many lifetimes!" Yao Yue said shamelessly!

Although his mind had improved, his foolishness seemed to remain, making him so self-absorbed!

The little monkey's eyes darted, and after a few calls, it began pulling some vines on the cliff wall.

Yao Yue didn't know what it was doing, but he thought it was impossible to leave this abyss with just a little monkey.

However, he thought that if he could absorb some blood from the little monkey and learn its habits, he might be able to use its agile movements to climb out using the vines.

But since the little monkey had brought him food, he couldn't bear to harm it.

Chirp!

The little monkey's voice sounded again, and a thick, sturdy vine made from several vines fell in front of Yao Yue.

Holding the vine, Yao Yue was instantly filled with excitement. He looked at the little monkey and said gratefully, "Thank you, little monkey. If I, Yao Yue, can escape, you will be my benefactor for life. I will treat you like a brother, and we will never part, sharing both good and bad times!"

Yao Yue's body had changed, and his physical strength was already beyond that of an ordinary person. After absorbing the snake's blood and learning its nature, he had gained some strength, taking the first step towards becoming stronger.

Now, the little monkey had woven several vines and thrown them down, making them much stronger than a single vine.

He tried pulling them a few times and found that they could support his weight, so he prepared to climb up.

"Besides this spot with a protruding rock, there is no place large enough for me to rest above. I hope the little monkey can show me a clear path. Otherwise, falling halfway would certainly result in a fatal fall!" Yao Yue thought to himself and began climbing.

He felt that the little monkey wouldn't deceive him and that there would definitely be a place to rest higher up.

Moreover, he had no choice. Staying here meant certain death, so he decided to take the risk and leave.

He still needed to return to the imperial city to reclaim his dignity and save his mother from her dire situation!

Yao Yue wrapped his hands around the vine, his hands showing an unusual softness, tightly gripping the vine to prevent him from slipping and falling.

This softness was actually one of the snake's characteristics, and Yao Yue had already acquired this ability.

Seeing Yao Yue start to climb, the little monkey jumped up quickly and began weaving new vines for him at the top, allowing him to switch to a new vine when he reached a certain height.

Yao Yue's strength was even greater than before. He tightly wrapped the vine, bent his body, and stepped on the cliff wall, using his strength to climb over a meter in just a few steps.

Yao Yue felt that climbing was not too difficult and showed a joyful expression, muttering, "Good, very good, I can definitely climb out of this place!"

Yao Yue displayed unprecedented confidence and continued to climb faster.

A cold wind blew from behind him, giving a sense of extreme cold, but he felt incredibly comfortable, invigorating his spirit.

After climbing about ten meters, he began to sweat and felt somewhat tired.

At this moment, the little monkey called out and threw down another woven vine, gesturing for him to continue climbing!

Yao Yue completely forgot about the abyss behind him, took a deep breath, and continued climbing!

From a distance, Yao Yue looked like a fearless adventurer, using only the vines to climb in this demon-infested abyss, where a single mistake could result in a fatal fall.

Even those who cultivated primordial energy would not dare to do such a dangerous thing!

Yao Yue had no choice but to make this life-or-death decision. His will to survive was unprecedented, and his mind was filled with the determination to become stronger, reclaim his dignity, and save his mother, which gave him the courage to face death and overcome difficulties!

This life-or-death climb had a significant impact on Yao Yue's mental state, providing him with the best training and immense benefits for his path to becoming a powerful being!

Passing through the life and death gate, forging a strong heart!

After half an hour, Yao Yue had climbed to about 70-80 meters, changing vines several times and experiencing several near-falls.

He was drenched in sweat, and his palms were deeply cut by the vines, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, driven by an unyielding will.

The little monkey also encouraged him, greatly boosting his morale!

"When will there be a place to rest?" Yao Yue's arms were trembling, and he was afraid he couldn't hold on much longer.

Chirp!

The little monkey seemed to understand his thoughts and called out continuously from above.

He looked up, sweat blurring his vision, and finally saw a cave entrance above, with the little monkey waiting for him.

"Almost there, just a few more meters, I can definitely make it!" Yao Yue thought to himself and continued climbing, stepping on the protrusions on the cliff wall.

The last few meters felt like a thousand meters, each step was incredibly difficult and exhausting.

When he reached the cave entrance, he clung to it weakly, panting heavily, his arms trembling, showing his extreme fatigue and the fear of pushing his limits.

The little monkey didn't disturb him but turned and returned to the cave.

When it came out again, it had another wild fruit in its hand and offered it to Yao Yue!

Yao Yue accepted the fruit without hesitation and devoured it.

Afterward, he encouraged himself and got up.

The little monkey called out a few times in front of him, gesturing for him to follow it into the cave.

Yao Yue, who now considered the little monkey a friend, thanked it, "Thank you, little monkey. You want me to go inside, right?"

He followed the little monkey into the cave, which was not very large.

After walking a few meters, the cave suddenly became much wider, about ten meters wide and over ten meters high, with protruding stalactites and a few drops of spring water, making it feel cool and refreshing.

"Is this your home, little monkey? It's quite nice!" Yao Yue looked around and praised.

The little monkey nodded humanly and pointed to a pool of spring water, gesturing for Yao Yue to drink.

"These must be the stone spring waters that gather the essence of heaven and earth, said to have the miraculous effect of rejuvenating the skin!" Yao Yue walked over, sniffed the water, and exclaimed.

He then scooped up the water and drank several mouthfuls.

A refreshing sensation instantly spread throughout his body, like the wonderful comfort of soaking in icy water on a hot summer day.

A bit of strength began to flow through his meridians, nourishing his organs and muscles, and the bruises on his hands gradually disappeared without any pain.

"Indeed, it is a spiritual spring. No wonder a little monkey with such spiritual energy can live here, hahaha!" Yao Yue laughed loudly.

The world is not short of rare treasures. This spring water, accumulated over many years, gathers the essence of the sun and moon, benefiting both humans and demons.

After drinking the spring water, Yao Yue's spirit was restored to its peak, even more energetic than before.

Just as he was about to get up, he noticed a stick-like object embedded in the spring pool.

Curiously, Yao Yue reached out and pulled the stick out.
