To be exact, it had flesh but no blood. The snake's outer skin was genuine, covered with fine, dense runes on the inside. The flesh was real snake meat, and the bones were true bones. However, the place where the brain would normally be in the skull was filled with a Spirit Stone, also engraved with runes. This setup made it so lifelike that no one could spot any flaws!
Gu Shi Yi clicked her tongue in amazement,
"This...who could tell? I'm just smart enough to notice, otherwise I would have been fooled too!"
The entire snake was grayish-white and blended seamlessly into the gravel on the ground. It was almost impossible to notice. Even if someone did spot it, its faint life energy could easily deceive a typical great cultivator. Thankfully, Gu Shi Yi had her radar senses tingling, which tipped her off that something was amiss, prompting her to devise a strategy!
