It discovered that although Ye Ningze was weak in strength, his physical reaction speed was twice as fast as its own, a spiritual beast. Every attack it launched was easily dodged by Ye Ningze.
Even its venomous attacks were of no use against Ye Ningze!
Ye Ningze was surrounded by surging flames, each flame seeming to possess sentience, capable of incinerating all poisonous mist that approached him!
The poisonous mist from the Azure Scale Patterned Snake could not harm Ye Ningze in the slightest!
Ye Ningze wielded his black saber, heated by the flames until it glowed faintly red, continuously slashing and striking.
Before long, the Azure Scale Patterned Snake was covered in bloody wounds, looking extremely disheveled.
Perhaps Ye Ningze's own strength was not great, but he had diligently trained his body.
Therefore, his speed was exceptionally fast.
The Azure Scale Patterned Snake could not touch Ye Ningze at all, only being continuously subjected to Ye Ningze's furious saber strikes!
Soon, under Ye Ningze's onslaught, the Azure Scale Patterned Snake completely collapsed on the ground, lifeless.
Ye Ningze did not rush to collect the spoils of war, quickly retreating to a safe area.
By this time, Lin Haitao had finished bandaging his wounds, though his face remained pale. He was currently sitting cross-legged on the ground, recuperating.
Ye Ningze also quickly took out a detoxification pill from his pack and swallowed it.
Although he could incinerate the poisonous mist that approached him with his flames during the recent battle, it was still poisonous gas, and he needed to breathe. He had inevitably inhaled some into his body.
He had to clear the toxins now, otherwise, it would affect his future cultivation!
After taking the pill, Ye Ningze sat down directly and began to recuperate.
Lin Haitao, meanwhile, had stabilized his injuries.
He also sat down to recuperate.
While recuperating and recovering, the two observed the giant python. The giant python had completely lost its ability to resist, lying on the ground, gasping for its last breath. Its scales had been stripped away by Ye Ningze and Lin Haitao, and blood continuously flowed out, soaking the grass.
Ye Ningze felt a surge of relief, thinking that if he had been even a moment slower, he would have died in the giant python's jaws.
The strength of a mid-grade fierce beast was no joke.
He looked at the corpse of the Azure Scale Patterned Snake, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.
After all, this was a mid-grade fierce beast. Being able to defeat it was, in any case, a testament to his own strength, and he was very excited.
At this moment, Lin Haitao also opened his eyes.
Looking at the corpse of the Azure Scale Patterned Snake not far away, he felt a sense of speechlessness.
He looked at Ye Ningze and remarked, "I truly didn't expect you to be this strong, to be able to slay a mid-grade fierce beast."
Ye Ningze opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, stood up, and said, "It was just good luck."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pried out the eyeballs of the Azure Scale Patterned Snake. wap.kanshuwu.net
— These eyeballs were proof of their slaying of the fierce beast.
Following that, Ye Ningze also extracted the inner core of the giant python and collected its blood.
This was the blood of a mid-grade fierce beast, and it contained a trace of dragon bloodline, making it extremely precious to martial artists.
Moreover, as a mid-grade fierce beast, its entire body was a treasure.
Ye Ningze directly began to cut off several pieces of meat from the giant python.
For martial artists, the meat of these fierce beasts was also a great tonic.
Immediately, Ye Ningze started a fire, and he and Lin Haitao roasted the snake meat, feasting heartily.
Lin Haitao looked at Ye Ningze and said with some envy, "Ye Ningze, you might be able to contend for first place this time." kanδん
Ye Ningze smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "It's hard to say. There are always talented people. I can't be sure I'll definitely get first place."
After a short rest, Ye Ningze got up to leave, with Lin Haitao following behind him.
After eating the snake meat, both of their strengths had improved again.
Ye Ningze estimated that his strength had now reached six hundred jin!
His strength was now on the verge of becoming an elite martial artist.
This was the immense benefit of fierce beast meat to martial artists.
Ye Ningze took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
He had not yet used the fierce beast blood to temper his physical body, as the conditions were not yet right. If he could temper his physical body, he didn't know what level he would reach.
Ye Ningze and Lin Haitao continued to search for fierce beasts in the Sunset Forest.
However, he did not encounter any more fierce beasts with strong combat power. Most of them were relatively weak opponents.
Although these fierce beasts did not benefit their cultivation much, they still counted towards points. So, Ye Ningze killed all the fierce beasts he encountered and collected their eyeballs.
While they were searching for fierce beasts, Ye Tianchen and Lin Haitao were also continuously venturing deeper into the Sunset Forest.
They did not encounter any dangers along the way.
Unknowingly, the two had already collected dozens of pairs of eyeballs, accumulating over two hundred points.
In the evening, Ye Ningze and Lin Haitao found a cave to rest. Ye Ningze opened his pack and counted carefully, muttering with a wry smile, "Today's haul isn't much."
The various materials from the fierce beasts added up to about one hundred and thirty points, while Lin Haitao's situation was more dire, with only over forty points.
Although their harvest for the day was considerable, achieving first place would still require significant effort. However, for martial artists of their strength, this was already quite good.
Lin Haitao patted Ye Ningze's shoulder and comforted him, "Ye Ningze, don't worry, take your time. We still have time."
Ye Ningze smiled and remained silent.
The next morning, the two woke up early, ate some snake meat, and continued their journey.
The two continued to move deeper, but the further they went, the more vigilant they became, even their footsteps becoming extremely slow.
As they walked, Lin Haitao suddenly sensed an extremely strong, pungent odor emanating from ahead, and his brow furrowed.
He turned to Ye Ningze and asked, "What is this smell?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningze frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "It should be poisonous insects, and highly venomous ones at that."
Lin Haitao's eyebrows rose slightly as he said, "This is truly bad news. This is a deep mountain and old forest, and these poisonous insects are very cunning. We must be careful, or we'll run into trouble."
"Yes, let's go. We'll go ahead and take a look."
Ye Ningze and Lin Haitao spoke as they walked towards the source of the foul odor.
