The forest was quiet and the land was still. Brightly coloured fireflies flew around the gra.s.slands, fluttering and chasing each other.
A faint fiery light glowed from my Weeping Fireblade, a few stains of blood dyed the edge of the blade red. On the ground, a python that I just killed lay lifeless. I didn’t know how many pythons I had already killed, I only knew that my experience had increased by a whole lot. I had already reached level 29. The experience from Forest Pythons was indeed bountiful.
“Phew&h.e.l.lip;”
Taking a deep breath, I looked inside my inventory. I had already collected 45 sacs of poison, and I still didn’t know what use this plaything would have.
Originally, I had wanted to go through the Dark Forest as a shortcut to go to my destination and draw out Forest Pythons and kill them one by one. However, I had miscalculated. I had been stuck in the Dark Forest for four hours full. A cruel reality posed in front of me -- I was lost!
The map was blurred, so I was unable to scout the area. I could only roughly estimate the direction of the Frostwind Canyon.
Carrying my Weeping Fireblade, I brought along my footman, a ‘fierce-looking’ skeleton. It was a level 25 fossil which looked like a t-rex, and it could already serve as a meat s.h.i.+eld for me. This was also one of the secret weapons that allowed me to survive through the dangerous Dark Forest until now. The slave from [Summon Undead] couldn’t be kept. It’s gone if it dies, it’s not that regretful.
Right at this moment, a bell suddenly rang through the air --
“Ding~!”
System Announcement: Player Domineering Heaven Blade has successfully reached lv.30. As the first player reaching lvl.30 in Floating Ice City, he received 3000 exp points and 200 fame!
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
What a fellow, Domineering Heaven’s Blade levelling up speed is really fast!
I slowly sighed. But then I thought again, if not for Lin Yi Xin and I killing each other so many times and dropping levels, how could the first player reaching level 30 be Domineering Heaven blade?
“Di!”
A message from Lin Yi Xin: “See? You have seen it right? Both of us dropped so many levels and allowed Domineering Heaven Blade and his Domineering Clan to take advantage of it. They won easily and we both lost out in the end!”
I was a little speechless as I replied, “This is not the responsibility of just one of us you know?”
She quickly replied, “As a guy, you should bravely accept responsibility!”
I couldn’t help but laugh and replied, “Alright, I’ll take responsibility of you.”
After around half a minute, when I thought that Lin Yi Xin was too angry to reply, she finally replied, “I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet&h.e.l.lip;”
“What’s that got to do with me?”
“I don’t have the strength to beat you up&h.e.l.lip;”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”
After our exchange, Lin Yi Xin was pleased with herself and sent me a cute laughing emoji.
I continued to force myself onward. I must find the location of the Green Peppers before daybreak today, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get Red Iron Tablet’s gold!
After walking a little, I suddenly noticed that the environment had started to change a little. Observing closely, I saw that the gra.s.ses on the ground had all mostly withered, their leaves pitch black. From the looks of it&h.e.l.lip; It seemed like it had been poisoned?
I raised my head and gripped my Weeping Fireblade tight. I had a feeling in my heart that I had met a strong opponent!
“Hua!”
The night wind blew, rustling the leaves. In the darkness of the night, a pair of red eyes was intently glaring at me. When I saw it through the limited light from the moon, I was so scared that my whole body started to tremble. It turned out to be a giant python, a truly giant python. Its body that glowed with a golden light was as thick as a tree trunk, and it was at least 15m long. The scarier thing was its enormous head; it was baring its fangs, full of killing intent. It let out a hiss that was reeking of bloodthirst as its pair of expressionless, savagewild beast’s eyes glared at me intently!
[Golden-scaled Python King] (E-upper ranked BOSS)

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
I couldn’t see its stats at all, but I was sure that this BOSS wouldn’t be easily defeated. His level might even be more than lv.40!
I secretly cried in my heart. My house was already leaking, yet it was raining the whole night (chinese idiom). I was just a little skeleton trying to pick some Green Peppers, but I actually met this Golden-scaled Python King, a frightening BOSS monster. This joke must be the guardian of this Dark Forest. Being able to meet it, was it my fortune or misfortune?
Gripping the Weeping Fireblade tightly, I stared intently at the Golden-scaled Python King. I must fight it! Since I had already met it, I couldn’t run away like a coward. That’s not this hero’s style!
Behind me, my Green Fire Cloak fluttered with the wind. The 22 defense points from my Green Fire Cloak was also one of the things I could rely on. The additional 22 defense and 7 stamina increased my health to 610 points, so there should be a glimmer of hope.
“Hisss!”
The Golden-scaled Python King filled its fangs with venom as it glared intently at me. Then, its body suddenly moved towards me, mouth open wide, scary as h.e.l.l!
I found the perfect timing and slid away with my foot, perfectly avoiding the BOSS’s attack. At the same time, a green glow enveloped my Weeping Fireblade as [Death Blade] swung down, splitting the air.
“Cha!”
Right at the BOSS’ heart, a damage number that simply made me excited flew out–376!
Not bad. Since I could break its defense already, then killing this BOSS shouldn’t be a problem.
But right at this moment, the Golden-scaled Python King quickly spit venom towards me. My whole body was immediately stunned, as my health quickly depleted–
“Di!”
Battle Announcement: You have been poisoned, you will lose 5% of your health every 10 seconds!

“Pa!”
