151 The Serpent King (1/2)
Since they had no information or even a map about The Clarity Forest. The team could only choose a random yet unexplored area to go to. Tang Shaoyang decided to go further toward the back village direction. They crossed the river, guessing the river should be a border or something that divided the territory between the Beat King.
After ten minutes of walking since they crossed the river, they encountered a new type of beast. It was a big snake with a purple scale and red dots. The snake was around seven meters while the longest one they encountered so far was ten meters long.
”Have you guys tried the snake meat?” Standing on top of the snake he just killed, Tang Shaoyang asked the others, ”You won't like it,” Mu Liqiu commented, ”It's bland and hard to eat. It's also full of little bones, with minimal spices, that what you would get,”
Mu Liqiu and her daughter Huo Hongmei had become the team's cook. They had proven to better cook than Kang Xue by making a plain roasted Rabbidog tasted better. Tang Shaoyang immediately abandoned the idea of taking the snake with him. It would just be a waste of an inventory slot if the cook said the snake was not tasty.
They continued the advance for twenty minutes before Zhang Mengyao abruptly motioned them to stop. She seemed to detect something but Tang Shaoyang could not find anything fishy around.
”Did you hear it?” Zhang Mengyao asked as she peered her ears to hear more, ”Hear what?” Tang Shaoyang's Sense was much lower, he could not achieve what she did. She heard something slammed to the ground, the slight vibration on the ground, and yells?
She adjusted the direction slightly toward the east and walked slowly. After twenty meters of walking, she confirmed she did not hear it wrong, ”Follow me!”

On the other side of Clarity Forest
Wei Xi and his team were facing a giant snake. The snake was around thirty meters, deep purple scales with dots that resembled a fire with a golden sheen, and two small horns on top of its eyes.

”Shit! Who's expecting the Beast King would be this strong?” Wei Xi cursed his bad luck while surveying the surroundings, ”Retreat! I will buy time for you guys, retreat!” With his forearm covering his nose, he ordered his team to retreat.
No casualties after ten minutes of passive engagement but a few of them suffered injuries, such as a fractured arm to block the tail.
It was as if the Serpent King could understand what Wei Xi told his team. The Beast King hissed as its over a meter tongue danced and its eyes glinted shrewdly. The Serpent King swept its tail to the people who tried to escape.
Wei Xi immediately noticed the Serpent King started targeting his team. He activated [Quick Movement] to cover his people. Fortunately, he had used his 10 Skill Points for [Quick Movement], he arrived in time and slashed his sword against the tail.
Clank!
The scale was made of steel, or maybe something harder than steel. Wei Xi's sword pushed up as he was pushed back from the clash. The Serpent King without a doubt had more Strength than him.
Psshhhh!
