”Hiss, hiss, hiss ~!”
In the distance, the severely injured Flaming Cloud Mirror Snake stuck out its tongue at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi came back to his senses and walked towards him step by step. He looked at the wound of the Flaming Cloud Cobra and sucked in a breath of cold air. Currently, the spear had pierced through seven inches of the snake's body. ”These seven inches are its weak points. It seems like there's no way to reverse the situation.”
”I'm sorry, if I had come out earlier, I would have been able to save you!”
Suddenly, Qin Shi blamed himself. He was already nearby, but all he wanted was to catch the fisherman, which was why this Flaming Cloud Cobra was so heavily injured. It also caused a group of small lives to be born, and even lost his mother.
”Shitou, it's not your fault!” The Jade in the book said consolingly.
”Hiss, hiss, hiss ~!” However, at this time, the Flaming Cloud Mirror Snake suddenly shook its huge head. It lowered its head and pushed a few eggs towards Qin Shi with all its might. It hissed, ”Hiss, hiss, hiss ~!”
Seeing this scene, Qin Shi was stunned, ”You want to give them to me?”
”Shitou, he said that you are a good person. He knows that he won't be able to live for long. I hope that you can help him and take care of his children.” Jade in the book suddenly opened her mouth and said in a sad voice, ”It said that as long as you promise it, it will repay you.”
Qin Shi was stunned and the corner of his eyes twitched. ”Sister Yu, you're even proficient in the beast language?”
”Have you forgotten? I am an artifact spirit myself, so I can resonate with all living beings in this world! ” In the book, Yu pouted and said somewhat sorrowfully, ”Shitou, just agree to it.” ”If these snake eggs are hatched and raised properly, it will be of help to your family!”
”Forget it. A good person will do it until the end. Sending Buddha to the west.”
Qin Shi sighed as he nodded at the Flaming Cloud Mirror Snake, ”You can go without worry. In the future, leave your child to me, Qin Shi. As long as I, Qin Shi, am alive, I will not mistreat them. ”
Plop!
When the Flaming Cloud Mirror Snake heard this, it actually stuck its head into the sand pit. From the looks of it, he seemed to be kneeling to thank Qin Shi. Then, it raised its head and took out a crystal that was emitting a faint glow from its mouth.
”Monster Core?”
”I never thought that this Flaming Cloud Mirror Snake would have reached this level.” The surprised voice of the Jade in the book sounded out, ”It seems that if it hadn't just laid its eggs, those three strong men would have become its rations long ago.”
”Monster Core? It actually condensed a demon core? ” Qin Shi was shocked. The demon cores were the watershed between the yellow and dark class dire beasts. Only the wild beasts that had formed the demon cores could step into the dark class.
The demon cores, which contained the spirit energy of the dire beasts for the rest of their lives, were also a symbol of their strength.
”Is this for me?” Qin Shi gritted his teeth as his heart wavered. A single Demonic Core was undeniably huge to his current assistance.
The Flaming Cloud Mirror Snake nodded and passed the Demonic Core in its mouth to Qin Shi.
After doing all this, it seemed as if a heavy burden was lifted off of its shoulders. Finally, it glanced at the snake egg within the sandpit, and its eyes were filled with reluctance and attachment. In the end, it activated the last bit of spiritual energy in its body, rupturing its body and dying tragically on the ground.
”This …”
Seeing that the Flame Cloud Mirror Serpent had used the last bit of its strength to injure itself, it broke its body and caused blood to spurt out from it. Qin Shi panicked. ”Why is it doing this?”
The Jade in the book gritted her teeth and replied, ”The reason why it is doing this is because it wants to give you all the snake gall and blood essence in its body.”
With these words, Qin Shi was shaken.
He stood where he was, trembling. He hadn't thought that the Flaming Cloud Mirror Serpent would reach such a level. In the end, not even their deaths were able to leave behind a complete corpse.
Clenching his teeth, Qin Shi took out the decayed bronze sword from his spatial ring. He dripped the blood of the Flaming Cloud Cobra onto it and said, ”Rest in peace, let this sword inherit your will!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The bronze sword was covered in blood essence. It trembled violently and the rust on it slowly disappeared. The originally dull bronze sword suddenly began to emit a blinding bloody light. The blade of the sword also became extremely sharp.
”What a terrifying power!”
Feeling the awakening of the bronze sword, Qin Shi became excited.
Bang!
Finally, the bronze sword completely recovered. From its tattered edge, it turned into a sharp bloody sword. On the hilt of the sword, there were three words carved with great power: Bloodthirsty Sword!
”Bloodthirsty Sword? ”Good name!” Qin Shi raised his hand and weighed the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand before chopping down, leaving behind a red trail in the sky. A sword beam shot out and the sandpit in the distance exploded with a loud bang.
Looking at the might of the Bloodthirsty Sword, Qin Shi nodded his head in satisfaction.
”As expected of a Xuan Artifact. It has such earth-shaking power with just a light swing.” When Qin Shi thought of this, he became a little excited. ”I wonder, when using this Scarlet Blood Sword, what kind of power will the Nine Sword of River Styx have?”
Qin Shi could not bear to let go of the Bloodthirsty Sword and waved it a few times in the air. ”With this Bloodthirsty Sword, even a seventh level Body Tempering martial artist may not be my match. The Ancient Era's Secret Realm, come quickly. ”
He smiled and kept the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Putting away the Bloodthirsty Sword, Qin Shi walked forward. He held the Flaming Cloud Mirror Snake's snake egg in his arms and sighed, ”Poor little bastards. You have a great mother. She was willing to give up her life for you. She is your pride.”
