The geniuses immediately cried out in distress.
Someone shouted, "Are you crazy, woman! Don't you want to live? That Horned Serpent King is at the Heavenly Origin realm. How many lives do we have to spare for it to kill us? We barely escaped with our lives, and you want to go back now!"
"Look at your spineless self! Scared to death!"
Jin Yuyao rolled her eyes.
"Although I don't know what happened just now, I'm sure that strange snake must have encountered big trouble, otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped alive."
"When I was escaping, I vaguely saw a figure flash by. It must have been him who killed that giant snake!"
"So, if we go now, there shouldn't be any danger. The most basic trust between people is still necessary, right? Don't you even trust me anymore?"
"Besides, you all abandoned me earlier, and I haven't settled that score with you yet!"
Jin Yuyao said indignantly.
She looked as if she wouldn't give up unless they accompanied her.
"Miss Jin, is it true that you said someone killed the Horned Serpent King!? That's a beast at the Heavenly Origin realm. Only a martial arts grandmaster at the Heavenly Origin realm can kill it."
"Where would a grandmaster expert come from in this godforsaken place! If you're going to lie, at least make it believable. You might as well say the Horned Serpent King hit its head on a rock and died because it was too weak!"
"You just want us to accompany you to our deaths. That's not right!"
Everyone shook their heads like rattles.
"A beauty's mouth is a devil's tongue!"
A young genius quipped.
Jin Yuyao grabbed the man's ear and threatened, "Less nonsense, are you going or not!"
"Ouch, ouch, easy, my dear ancestor! My ear is falling off, falling off! I'll go! I'll go, alright!"
The man rubbed his ear and said, "Alas, I can only sacrifice my life for beauty."
"Don't worry, if there's really danger, I won't insist on the Fish Dragon Token. I just want you to accompany me back to take a look!"
Jin Yuyao said.
However, a certain figure flashed through her mind.
...
The group tiptoed and cautiously crept back.
When they returned to the place and found no trace of the Golden Scaled Horned Serpent King, the hearts that had been hanging in suspense finally settled.
At the same time, they were filled with curiosity.
Where had the extremely ferocious Golden Scaled Horned Serpent King gone?
Could it be, as Jin Yuyao said, that it was dealt with by an expert?
That Golden Scaled Horned Serpent King was incredibly ferocious and terrifying. How strong must the expert be who could deal with this beast?
A sense of longing and admiration arose in their hearts.
"My Fish Dragon Token is indeed here!"
At this moment.
The crowd heard Jin Yuyao exclaim excitedly. She held a palm-sized token to her ample chest, bouncing with joy.
With a hint of playfulness.
The scene was visually striking.
Before the male geniuses could savor this famous scene,
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "There's blood here! It's beast blood!"
The crowd hurried over upon hearing this.
Indeed, they saw countless drops of serpent blood staining the surrounding forest, as if it had rained blood.
Everyone looked at each other.
Their hearts were instantly filled with unspeakable shock.
Such a terrifying Heavenly Origin realm beast, which made them tremble, had died so silently...
What exactly had happened in the short time they had fled?
"Over there... there seems to be light over there!"
Suddenly, someone said tremblingly.
The crowd quickly looked in that direction and saw a faint glow flash in the eerie forest.
It made their hearts tremble again.
However, this wisp of faint light quickly disappeared completely.
A brave young genius named Jiang Yong incited, "Why don't... why don't we go take a look? Perhaps we can meet a martial arts grandmaster!"
Although the crowd was very scared, Jiang Yong's words completely ignited their curiosity.
They also really wanted to witness what kind of expert could kill such a terrifying Heavenly Origin realm beast.
Among their families, there were many who had grandmasters at the Heavenly Origin realm.
But they felt that those grandmasters were much weaker than this Golden Scaled Horned Serpent King.
As they cautiously approached,
They saw a gray-haired youth, one or two years younger than them, standing up from an open space.
This youth's aura was only at the early stage of the Profound Gang realm.
It was worlds apart from the peerless expert they imagined who could kill the Golden Scaled Horned Serpent King!
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.
What was going on?
Why didn't they see the expert who killed the demon snake?
Instead, they encountered a reckless young man with a big heart.
This kid was so bold to be acting alone in the perilous Great Wilderness.
He was practically asking for death.
Fortunately, the Golden Scaled Horned Serpent King had already been killed by a senior grandmaster, otherwise, this kid would have surely turned into snake dung by now.
The moment the crowd saw the gray-haired youth, they immediately dismissed him.
How could a mere early-stage Profound Gang realm cultivator be the senior expert who killed the demon snake?
They would never believe such a thing.
Only Jin Yuyao's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness.
She felt that the gray-haired youth's figure looked somewhat familiar.
But she couldn't be sure.
Jiang Yong craned his neck, looking around the gray-haired youth.
With immense curiosity, he asked, "Hey, kid, I'm asking about the senior who killed the beast, did you see him!"
That gray-haired youth was naturally Ling Fan.
Ling Fan casually swept his gaze over the group of young geniuses and said, "What senior expert? I killed the demon snake."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The geniuses, led by Jiang Yong, burst into laughter.
"You killed it?"
"I might as well say I killed it, hahaha!"
"That's a Heavenly Origin realm beast. You, a mere early-stage Profound Gang realm cultivator, I could beat ten of you. You're telling me you killed that beast, are you kidding me!"
"What the hell, is this for real? Is this kid making up stories without even thinking!"
"Did you accidentally burst your windpipe while bragging, and that's how the demon snake died?"
"Brother, are you trying to make us laugh ourselves to death so you can inherit our travel funds!"
"This kid's cultivation is not much, but he's a master of comedy!"
"Brother, I admit defeat to your storytelling skills. I, Jiang Yong, declare you the strongest!"
Facing everyone's ridicule, Ling Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
His expression was calm.
He offered no comment.
