Chapter 343, Chapter 7: Snake and Centipede
Looking at his six senior sisters Yingyue, who were already fast asleep, Cheng Jiu had never felt that he had experienced such a bad time.
Yesterday's fun was absolutely crazy! The market wasn't enough, so Liao Yun and her five senior sisters dragged Cheng Jiu and Yin Yue to Qingli City to play.
They even had a little wine, and got quite drunk.
Only Cheng Jiu's statement that he didn't like drinking saved him from disaster.
The tipsy Senior Sister Li said that when she was in the Golden Core stage, she went out of the sect to train and was bullied by a Black-winged Tiger outside the city gate!
She had never found an opportunity for revenge, but now she was powerful!
"Revenge! Revenge!"
"it is good!"
Amidst the cheers of her fellow senior sisters, the six drunken fairies headed straight for the city gate.
When asked about the time, it turned out to be a hundred years ago!
Senior sister, you really hold grudges!
Cheng Jiu was really worried about these six drunkards, so he quickly followed them.
Not long ago, a beast tide occurred on the Xuan Tian Continent!
The black-winged tiger that the senior sister wanted to take revenge on probably didn't escape unscathed either!
There were no tigers in the cave; it was occupied by a seven-sectioned centipede at the Dao Integration Realm!
Six people were like a sweet treat delivered right to the Seven-Segmented Centipede!
Cheng Jiu followed along the way, never expecting that Li Zhentian's memory was so good that he actually found the cave!
Cheng Jiu's expression changed when he saw the menacing seven-segmented centipede dripping with venom!
As one of the most venomous monsters, the Seven-Section Centipede's venom is second to none among the monsters on the continent.
It's not just its fangs that are poisonous; to be precise, its entire body carries toxins, and if it stays in one place for a long time, its cave will become a poisonous den.
Its venom will cause an immediate burning pain as soon as it touches you, and it spreads extremely quickly!
If the poison is not neutralized within seven breaths, the person will suffer from a burning sensation throughout their body and die!
It's one of the monsters you least want to encounter, so how could it live at the border between the inner and outer areas!
It's not that this place is bad, it's just that the prey here simply can't supply this monster.
Monsters have a very strong sense of territory!
If it wants to get enough food, the monsters inside and outside are far from enough!
The seven-segmented centipede had no idea what Cheng Jiu was thinking. Its red and green body was raised high, clearly in a hunting posture.
The snake's unique, unfettered gaze was fixed on the sweet treat that had been delivered to its door.
It was defeated in a fight with a koala in the inner area.
Because it ate one of the other child!
Severely injured, he fled in a sorry state.
While fleeing along the outer edge of the city, they happened to come across this cave dwelling. The owner of the cave dwelling was just a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
This is a great place; it's perfect for it to recover!
So it swallowed the cave's owner whole and stayed in the cave to recover from its injuries!
I'll wait until I'm healed to take my revenge!
As a seven-segmented centipede, it also inherited the vengeful nature of snakes!
However, just as Cheng Jiu thought, this place was indeed suitable for hiding and recuperating, but there was very little blood food available around!
The greedy seven-segmented centipede swept away all life in the surrounding area, forcefully devouring this precious land between the inner and outer perimeters into a dead zone where no living creature dared to approach!
But this amount of stuff is far from enough for a severely injured Seven-Section Centipede in the Dao Integration Realm.
It dares not hunt any further.
A bear has a very keen sense of smell. If that bear were to find you, with its current strength, you would only be courting death!
The seven-segmented centipede could only huddle in this small space, relying on its powerful physique to allow its wounds to heal slowly.
Look at the junction of the fifth and sixth segments of the seven-segmented centipede; a wound that almost severed its body is particularly glaring!
This is almost the most fatal and weakest point of the seven-sectioned snake.
This shows just how brutal and dangerous that battle was!
It was like he was on the verge of death; he almost died!
Tormented by its injuries and nearly driven to madness, the seven-segmented centipede launched a fierce attack.
Qi Jie was extremely agile, and in a moment he pounced on the six people.
The six men remained drunk, seemingly oblivious to the danger.
Cheng Jiu's heart pounded wildly as he watched, and he drew his sword to block the seven-sectioned centipede!
Although they were drunk, the six of them were still incredibly agile, and they dodged the attack the instant it landed!
Cheng Jiu was left alone to fight back with his sword. The huge pincers on the mouth of the seven-sectioned centipede bit down hard on the Tianmu sword. The huge biting force made the Tianmu sword creak and groan!
Fortunately, the Heavenly Wood Sword was a truly divine sword and held firm!
Seven sections, their strong and powerful bodies launching an attack together!
A tremendous force pressed down on Cheng Jiu. Cheng Jiu held his breath, used his waist, abdomen and hands to exert force together, and firmly stabilized his body.
Metal clashed and sparks flew everywhere.
The red and green patterns on the seven-segmented centipede's body twisted and merged as if they were alive, eventually turning into an ominous dark green.
A thick, highly corrosive poisonous mist burst forth from the dark green scales of the seven-sectioned centipede, instantly enveloping Cheng Jiu.
The seven-segmented centipede's mindless eyes were filled with endless malice!
It has roamed the inner forest for so many years, relying on this poisonous creature!
"Hmm! Junior Sister!"
The unique, sweet-smelling scent of poison instantly snapped the six of them back to their senses!
Looking at the tall trees and the unfamiliar surroundings!
And there's Cheng Jiu, who's currently battling the seven-sectioned centipede!
The foolish things they did while drunk flashed through their minds like a series of paintings!
Upon seeing the green poisonous fog, the six men's pupils contracted sharply, and their hearts skipped a beat!
At this moment, Li Zhentian wanted to slap himself. Drinking had ruined everything!
Before the green poisonous fog could even touch Cheng Jiu's body, it spread out as if it had encountered some natural enemy!
Soon, the cloud of poisonous mist, carefully brewed by the seven-segmented centipede, disappeared into the air.
This is a self-purification process unique to the forest, but the price is that the lush, tall trees around the cave are now withered and yellowed by the venom, exuding a faint sense of death.
The seven-segmented centipede is simply unbelievable! How could this be!
Its poison!
Its most prized poison!
At this moment, the seven-segmented centipede, with its already limited brain, felt that there was definitely something wrong with the little girl in front of it.
Cheng Jiu actually saw a mixture of disbelief and other emotions in the berserk spirit beast, and regardless of whether it understood or not, he offered a rare explanation.
"Sorry, I'm immune to all poisons!"
Therefore, they are natural predators of these poisonous beasts!
The ring in Cheng Jiu's hand quickly transformed, and two foot-long sharp cones shot out, heading straight for the eyes of the seven-sectioned centipede.
The man and the beast were very close, and the seven-segmented centipede had no way to avoid them!
A sharp pain shot through his eyes, a piercing scream echoed to the sky, and the venom in the mouth of the seven-segmented centipede was flung wildly in agony as it struggled.
This is much more lethal than before!
For a moment, Cheng Jiu found himself unable to control the struggling seven-segmented centipede and felt as if he was about to be flung away by its struggles.
"Junior sister, we're here to help you!"
Senior Sister Ma Dachui stepped forward first, and what stood out starkly against her gentle demeanor was the bloodthirsty sword in her hand!
The sword is entirely blood red, as if it were forged from blood!
And it looked quite heavy, a large sword over two meters long!
It looks incredibly difficult just to swing it!
But in Ma Dachui's hands, it was as light as a toy!
Her large sword slashed wildly at the seven-segmented centipede's fatal wound. Although its eyes were injured and it struggled frantically, its life was threatened, allowing the seven-segmented centipede to dodge the fatal blow at the crucial moment!
The sound of scales shattering was so painful it hurt to hear. As the knife cleaved through the last segment of the seven-segmented centipede's scales, the scales burst open, almost revealing the bloody flesh inside!
"Monster, take this!"
Suddenly, a massive, black alchemy furnace, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, descended from the sky with tremendous speed and force.
The head of the seven-segmented centipede collided violently with the round belly beneath the alchemy furnace.
In an instant, the seven-segmented centipede let out a mournful cry, and its head was smashed into the soil!
The speed was so fast and the force of the fall was so great that it was practically impossible to avoid!
Having achieved her goal, Senior Sister Qiu Xiaohua quickly stepped forward, channeled her spiritual power, and firmly suppressed the struggling seven-sectioned centipede.
A long sword appeared in Liao Yun's hand at some point. It wasn't long, about half a meter. The sword looked to be of very high quality, with wisps of cold light seeping from its blade.
Forced to step down, Cheng Jiu inexplicably felt a chill run through her body. Her most fundamental intuition about crisis told her that this kind of Senior Sister Liao Yun was the most terrifying.
"Hammer, come help!"
Hearing his senior sister's call, Ma Dachui, who was hacking wildly, quickly responded.
"You're here, Senior Sister!"
Then, Senior Sister Ma Dachui took out a pair of ice silk gloves, and following Senior Sister Liao Yun's instructions, pressed her small hand down, and the inch-long snake joint instantly stopped moving.
Senior Sister Liao Yun methodically took her long knife and slowly sharpened it on the seven-sectioned centipede until the blade gleamed with a cold, sharp light.
The light reflected off him, and he nodded in satisfaction.
The long knife pierced the weakest part of the seven-segmented centipede's body quickly and ruthlessly, first its carapace, then its flesh, and finally its legs.
Skin them alive!
Senior Sister Liao Yun moved slowly and methodically, each movement extremely precise, with not a single movement wasted.
In no time, the entire segment of the seven-segmented centipede was peeled off!
The seven-segmented centipede struggled but didn't utter a sound, only let out a mournful cry, and then it was dead!
Is this what a smart senior sister is like?
terrible!
No wonder that although Senior Sister Li Zhentian has a very high presence, the five senior sisters still regard Senior Sister Liao Yun as their leader!
With just this one skill, who would dare to act recklessly!
Moreover, the seven-segmented centipede did not feel any pain throughout the entire process!
Only when life is extinguished do they utter their final lament!
Yingyue and Cheng Jiu, these two greenhorns meeting for the first time, looked at Senior Sister Liao Yun with awe!
Senior Sister Qiu Xiaohua's alchemy furnace has also been moved!
The seven-segmented centipede's head was mostly smashed, yet it was still alive, which shows how strong its vitality is!
Could it be that the alchemy furnace falling from the sky is a unique skill of the alchemists of Medicine Peak?
Cheng Jiu thought of Senior Brother Yan Xuan's move.
But it really works very well!
If every alchemist participating in the competition knew this trick, Cheng Jiu couldn't imagine how spectacular it would be if alchemists who usually relied on dodging started smashing people with the frame of their alchemy furnaces!
Cheng Jiu remembers it wasn't this common before!
Moreover, this alchemy furnace is obviously designed to cause damage. To be honest, in the world of cultivation, weapons weighing thousands or tens of thousands of pounds can't cause any harm!
It's possible to hit someone with a weapon, but it's impossible to inflict a fatal injury.
The power of a weapon depends on two factors: the quality and attack power of the weapon itself, and the strength of the cultivator!
For cultivators, splitting mountains and shattering rocks is commonplace. Ordinary cultivators can easily weigh thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms as their cultivation level increases!
This is why, during competitions, alchemists primarily focus on defense and poison!
Could this power be due to the improved skills of the weapon refiner?
"Senior Sister Qiu, this alchemy furnace is truly amazing!"
"Of course! Mere defensive capabilities are no longer enough for us!" Yingyue said proudly, "I also sent my and your senior brother's alchemy furnaces to an eighth-grade weapon-refining elder for modification!"
Speaking of which, we have to thank our junior sister for all those clicks you brought back! They gave the weapon refiners at Weapon Peak a lot of inspiration!
Now, it's possible to maintain the alchemy furnace's alchemy function and defensive capabilities while also possessing offensive power!
Now, alchemists can travel the world with just one furnace!
Yingyue now finds the alchemists incredibly powerful!
"So fast?" Cheng Jiu exclaimed in surprise!
Her research direction was completely different from Qi Feng's; she studied how to improve the grade of weapons.
The question is how Qifeng adds other attributes to the original attributes.
Although they are completely different research directions, they already bear some resemblance to the enchanters of that world!
The alchemists were especially overjoyed!
The weapon refiner's skills improve, and the alchemist's martial prowess increases!
"After all, the peak master of the weapon-making peak is learning it himself, so naturally the speed is very fast!"
It's said that Peak Master Fufeng also has other inspirations! However, the results haven't been revealed yet, and he hasn't passed them on!
Yingyue nodded.
It would be strange if the Peak Master of Qi Peak didn't study it!
The worlds my junior sister visited were clearly vast worlds; these materials represent high-level cultivation techniques for the current Xuan Tian Continent!
Not to mention the two peak masters of the Sword Body were overjoyed because of these techniques.
Furthermore, what about the two peak masters of the talisman and the weapon?
The other peaks didn't even have the right to sit at the table and eat meat!
Actually, the Peak Master of the Formation Peak, under the guise of the inseparable nature of runes and formations, is also secretly conducting research!
Of course, there's no need for Cheng Jiu to know!
Senior Sister Shao Yan and Senior Sister Li were instructed by Senior Sister Liao Yun to deal with the seven-segmented centipede. It would be best if they could also search its cave to see if there were any venom crystals condensed by the seven-segmented centipede, as these are rare materials for making poison!
If there were shed slough from a seven-segmented centipede, that would be even better!
Unfortunately, this was clearly not the usual habitat of this seven-segmented centipede; apart from the poisonous gas, there was nothing else!
The perfectly good cave has been completely ruined by these seven-segmented centipedes!
Aside from poisonous monsters, who would dare to venture here?
Even poisonous monsters would die without the venom of the Seven-Section Centipede!
However, getting the carcass of a seven-segmented centipede wasn't too disappointing!
After all, this was just an accidental gain from their drunken outburst!
After venting their frustrations, they didn't want to party anymore!
Return to the clan, return to the clan!
Cheng Jiu had no interest in the corpse of the seven-segmented centipede and simply gave it all to his five senior sisters.
In front of the main gate of Guiyuan Sect, a temporary office was set up on a white jade platform with dragon patterns.
The twelve senior sisters and twelve senior brothers, dressed in the robes of the Law Enforcement Hall disciples, sat on either side of the long table.
Four teams of disciples from the Enforcement Hall patrolled back and forth continuously!
