C12 (1/2)

Yang was originally not far from the battlefield, so he quickly arrived at the side of the Billowing Fire Snake.

After careful observation, he was sure that the bandit leader was dead. He then picked up his crude spear and stabbed the flame dragon into the wound on the head of the serpent.

Although he had hit the snake until it was seven inches away, he wasn't sure that he would be able to pierce it with the body of a second level Flame Serpent. It would be better to just attack the wound.

If the snake was not truly dead, then this thrust of the spear would be able to severely injure it once again.

In addition to the fire energy that came with the Flame God Incantation, there was no doubt that the Billowing Fire Serpent was going to die!

Its head, which was as hard as a land dragon bear's, could not even withstand the explosive energy seeping through its skin, much less a severely injured snake made of fire.

However, if the Billowing Fire Snake really had not died, he would have been shocked awake and launched his final counterattack.

As a result, after Yang Li thrust out his spear, he quickly retreated backwards.

”Hiss!”

”Hiss!”

It was exactly as he expected. After being stabbed, the snake woke up with a sharp cry of pain. However, he could not catch Yang Li's aura and could not attack him at all.

Yang Li had just retreated to a place that was relatively safe, when he detonated the explosive force at the head of the snake.

”Bam!”

The head of the Billowing Fire Serpent exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.

Yao Yao was relatively far away, so she was not affected, but this caused Yang Li to suffer.

The blood of a Billowing Fire Snake contained a portion of poison as well. If one was tainted with it, although it was different from dying directly from the poison, it was still extremely difficult to bear.

Therefore, he could only keep dodging, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

The demon cores of a Billowing Fire Snake were quite valuable. Even though the rank of a Billowing Fire Snake was rather low, his was a Fire Poison with dual attributes. These kind of demon cores were extremely useful for pill refiners.

This was because killing a Billowing Fire Snake was extremely troublesome. In a battle of the same level, if one wasn't careful and got infected by the poison, they would quickly die.

High level people also disdained killing low level demon beasts, which resulted in the core of this kind of demon beasts being in a relatively expensive state.

This exorbitant price only applied to cultivators below the Blood Tempering Realm. Even if a cultivator above the Blood Tempering Realm lacked money, he wouldn't use the method of killing a Billowing Fire Snake to obtain wealth.

Soon enough, the snake was completely still. Yang Li rapidly approached the snake's body, but discovered that there was something extremely awkward going on.

He did not have any suitable tools to retrieve the fire serpents' beast cores.

”It's also because the head of this snake is too tough. Even a thousand years of ironwood wouldn't be able to endure it. Otherwise, it would be a pity to have the tools to retrieve the beast core.” Yang Li said with regret.

As for the bandit boss, his weapon was tainted by the venom and temporarily unusable. The venom spat out by the Billowing Fire Serpent would dissipate in an hour, but it was clear that he couldn't wait that long.

”Big brother, next, this blade should be able to cut open his skin.” Just as Yang Li was having a headache, he suddenly heard Yao Yao call out to him. Turning his head around, he saw Yao Yao throw a bright knife at him.

After Yang Li circulated his spiritual energy, he extended his hand to catch the knife that Yao Yao threw to him. After roughly examining it, he discovered that the entire knife was extremely beautiful.

The body of the saber was engraved with a mysterious red pattern. The blade was extremely sharp, and on the handle of the blade, there was a small dragon that seemed to be alive.

Yang Li picked up his knife and walked towards the body of the Billowing Fire Snake. He wanted to test if he could cut it open, but this attempt inevitably caused him to be shocked.

Like a piece of paper, Xiao Dao easily cut through the surface of the water snake's skin. Yang Li rejoiced and quickly found the location of the water snake's Demonic Core.

The core of the demonic beast was located in different places, but the core of the snake was seven inches away from him.

People of the same cultivation level couldn't afford to provoke a Billowing Fire Snake. Those with a high cultivation level would be able to quickly defeat it even if they were able to attack it for seven inches. However, the core would also shatter with their attacks.

This was another reason for the scarcity of the demon cores.

Yang Li was extremely careful when he took out the demon core, as he didn't want to have any trace of poisonous blood stuck to his body. By the time he took out the demon core, he was already sweating profusely.

The Billowing Fire Serpent's poison sac and Demonic Core were the most valuable items, but with his cultivation, he could not touch them. Touch them and he would die, so he did not force them.

He took the bandit boss's relic, but didn't find anything useful to him. In fact, he only had a few dozen Spirit Stones.

Even though it did not fit his identity, he understood after thinking about it. After all, the bandit boss was only at the seventh level of the Qi Accumulation Realm. He had no idea how long he had saved up for.

As for the other bandits, Yang Li didn't even bother to look at them. On one hand, they were disdainful. On the other hand, they were troublesome, and the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.

After picking up the spoils of war, Yang Li returned to Yao Yao.

”Come, Yao Yao, I'll send you back.” After Yang Li returned, he spoke to Yao Yao.

”Yes.” Yao Yao vigorously nodded her head and followed Yang Li.

There was no one around to stop them, and the two of them weren't going too deep either. Leaving the forest in just a day was far below Yang Li's expectations.

However, because they wanted to send Yao Yao off, they left through the entrance of River Gazing City.
