C40 (1/2)

In this dangerous night, many human cultivator were killed by the King Serpent of Blood Refinement's deadly poison.

At this time, Zi Chen was seated cross legged, sensing everything around him, and completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Zi Chen seemed to be asleep as he sat cross-legged while listening to the regular rustling sound. This sound was the main melody of this plain.

The King Serpent of Blood Refinement was tens of metres away, staring at Zi Chen through the green grass. It was also motionless, but its eyes were even colder.

Time seemed to stand still. One man and one snake, motionless. Beside them were green grass s dancing in the wind.

Just as the breeze disappeared, the green grass released a hualala sound. A red light suddenly shot towards Zi Chen, and the hualala sound it made covered the sound of the King Serpent of Blood Refinement.

”Not good.”

The moment his eyes opened, he saw a streak of red light, which was already in front of him. Within inches of him, Zi Chen saw two sharp poison teeth that were emitting a cold light.

”Pfft.”

The sharp poison teeth were right in front of him before, but in the next moment, they were already at Zi Chen's neck. With a light sound, Zi Chen felt a sharp pain from his neck, and the poison teeth had already pierced his skin.

Under the poison, Zi Chen felt dizzy and weak. Even the hand that was holding onto the King Serpent of Blood Refinement began to tremble, as if it could fall down and die at any time.

Just as Zi Chen was about to lose his life from the poison, bolts of lightning suddenly surged out of his body. In the pitch-black night, the silver electric light was as bright as the stars, and the poison that entered Zi Chen's body was instantly dispelled by the electric light.

After that, a faint silver light surged from both of his hands. Zi Chen grabbed onto the head of the blood snake with lightning speed and used his strength to crush it.

The King Serpent of Blood Refinement struggled a few times before it stopped moving.

”Hu!”

Zi Chen escaped from danger, and panted heavily. Previously, it had only been a few breaths, but his green clothes had already been drenched in cold sweat and his forehead was covered in sweat.

The bloody hole in his neck was still bleeding.

”King Serpent of Blood Refinement, could it be that there's a higher level sanguinarum fructus nearby?” After the danger had passed, Zi Chen could not help but guess, but he did not dare go forward. In this pitch black night, the green grass s were simply too dangerous.

If not for that silver light earlier, he would have died here. As for the silver light, it was coming from Zi Chen's heart. At that time, the poison had entered his heart through his blood.

In the dark night, there would occasionally be a few miserable shrieks, it was obvious that a human friar was killed.

This night, even Zi Chen was trembling in fear and trepidation, especially the occasional scream that would make him even more terrified.

Fortunately, when the night finally arrived and a touch of white appeared at the horizon, Zi Chen finally let out a sigh of relief. His vision returned, and his safety index rose by a lot.

However, he continued to persevere until the sun rose.

This time, Zi Chen purposely made way for them and as expected, he saw a sanguinarum fructus that was over a hundred years old.

Until they successfully harvested the sanguinarum fructus, the blood snake did not appear.

Zi Chen walked very carefully on this path. Half a day later, he finally left the plain and walked into a dense forest.

”Whew.” Walking out of the plain, Zi Chen saw a dense forest and sat down on his butt. His mind was highly focused previously, so he had expended a lot of energy.

He took out the sanguinarum fructus s from his bosom and chewed them a few times before suddenly swallowing them.

Now, Zi Chen could finally relax and cultivate in peace.

The danger that came from the blood snake had already disappeared, but that did not mean that there were no other dangers within the forest. Just as Zi Chen was relaxing, a black shadow appeared within the forest.

”En, another prey has arrived. It seems like it has consumed a lot of energy. Unfortunately, I successfully walked out of the plains and met him here. I wonder how many gains he has obtained.” Looking at the bag on Zi Chen's back, the black figure calculated silently. At the same time, he slowly approached Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was currently cultivating, and did not sense anything abnormal around him. Furthermore, as soon as he walked out of the plain, his state of mind was completely relaxed, and he did not expect that the danger was approaching. Other than this, it also proved that the black figure's concealment method was truly brilliant.

”Die.” When he was still twenty meters away from Zi Chen, the black figure finally unleashed an attack. He appeared from behind a large tree and fiercely tapped between Zi Chen's eyebrows with two fingers and a sword.

As the danger arrived once more, Zi Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the zhenqi around his body began to surge.

”Bang.”

The black figure's sword fingers collided with Zi Chen's fist, and under the effect of the zhenqi, it released a sound of impact. Zi Chen remained motionless, but the black figure actually took a few steps back.

”This... ”What a strong physique.” The black shadow retreated, and his face abruptly went grim.
