1337: C1337 Viper Leader

C1337 Viper Leader

1Seeing that, Zhou Yan shouted coldly. His figure flashed as he waved his dagger, drawing a sharp arc in the air as he slashed towards Zhou Yan.

Puchi!

In an instant, the python's neck was covered in blood. Its skin and flesh were torn apart, and dark red blood spurted out.

"Hiss hiss...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The python roared in pain as it twisted its huge body and charged towards Zhou Yan. Its ferocious aura caused one's heart to palpitate.

"Evil creature, do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Zhou Yan frowned as he fumed with anger. With a flick of his wrist, he slashed his dagger across the python's throat once again.

Puchi!

The python's body twitched as it struggled for a few seconds before losing all signs of life.

"Ding... Congratulations, host, for killing a poisonous snake." As the system notification sounded, Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment before he let out a gratified smile. As expected, the rewards were quite good.

After that, Zhou Yan raised his head and looked around. The surrounding forest was filled with poisonous snakes.

"Looks like I have to leave this place as soon as possible..."

Zhou Yan knitted his brows tightly. He did not want to fight with the group of snakes.

"Awoo ~"

Suddenly, a roar came from the depths of the forest. The sound wave shook the forest and disturbed the snakes.

All of a sudden, the poisonous snakes turned around and swam towards the direction of the sound.

"This is...."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Surprise flashed across his eyes.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, a black afterimage flashed across the sky and traveled more than a hundred feet in the blink of an eye.

"So fast!"

Zhou Yan sucked in a breath of cold air as his eyes were filled with wariness.

The afterimage was the youngling of the poisonous snake from before, a black leopard cat that was three feet long.

The leopard cat's speed was extremely terrifying and it was like a bolt of black lightning as it sped through the forest.

"Meow ~ ~ ~"

The black cat jumped around agilely as if it was walking on flat ground.

"Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!"

Zhi Zhi.... Suddenly, a weird sound that made one's hair stand on end sounded.

Sou ~ ~

A black figure broke out of the ground and bit the black cat like a ghost before dragging it back.

Padah!

After a sound, the dark shadow fell to the ground. It was a rat. It was dark and ugly. Its two front teeth were scary.

"This is..."

Zhou Yan looked over and saw that the mouse was holding onto the corpse of a leopard-striped black cat in its claws. It was chewing on it and swallowing it.

"It actually... eats cooked food..."

The corner of Zhou Yan's mouth twitched slightly as he felt a chill in his heart. This mouse was truly ferocious.

"* Roar! Roar! *"

Suddenly, ferocious roars sounded from all directions. One after another, giant wolves rushed out from the depths of the dense forest.

The giant wolves were gray-white and had strong bodies. Their skin was hard, and their limbs were strong. Their eyes were red and gave off a bloodthirsty killing intent.

Boom!

In an instant, the giant wolves jumped onto the branches one after another. They opened their bloody mouths and pounced towards Zhou Yan.

"This is a wolf!"

Zhou Yan's eyes turned serious as he knew that jackals were social creatures. Not only were they numerous in number, but they were also fierce and cunning, especially good at hunting.

In his previous life, when Zhou Yan met a jackal, he had personally experienced the threat of a jackal. Fortunately, he was lucky and managed to escape.

Thus, Zhou Yan engraved the weakness of the gnolls into his heart and clearly imprinted it into his mind.

At this moment, more and more gnolls gathered together, forming a wolf tide that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.

"Kill!"

Zhou Yan roared as he charged into the pack of wolves like a dragon.

* Crack! *

With a wave of his dagger, a blade light flashed as it sliced through the thick tree trunks and shattered the gray wolves one by one.

At the same time, Zhou Yan threw out silver needles. Each of them contained Origin Energy and entered the bodies of the wolves, instantly killing them and causing them to fall into a pool of blood.

"Huff..."

At the same time, the wolf pack went berserk as a strong gust of wind swept across the area. One after another, the giant wolves pounced over and opened their stinky mouths.

"You're courting death!"

Zhou Yan's eyes turned cold as he kicked out with his right foot. With a loud bang, the giant wolves were sent flying one after another. Half of their bodies collapsed as they wailed in pain.

"* Roar! *"

Suddenly, a giant gray wolf jumped up and pounced over. Its sharp teeth and claws were terrifying.

"Scram!"

Zhou Yan bellowed as he reached out his palm and firmly grabbed the wolf's head. With a forceful twist, a cracking sound could be heard. The gray wolf let out a miserable cry as blood flowed out of its seven orifices. It died on the spot.

Zhou Yan's eyes were indifferent as he stepped forward. His movements were agile and agile as he dodged the wolf's attack. At the same time, he waved his dagger and reaped the lives of the wolves.

Not long after, the forest became silent. Only a few wolf corpses remained.

"The harvest from this trip is not bad."

Zhou Yan grinned as he cleaned up the battlefield and picked up all the wolf meat. He then tied it up with a rope and hung it on the side of his backpack.

After that, Zhou Yan returned to the cave and took out a stone bowl. He scooped up a ladle of water to wash his face, wiped away the blood stains, and restored his appearance.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yan frowned. He could vaguely hear a small movement in the distance, but it was hard to tell.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yan walked out of the cave and continued forward along the stream.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

After walking for a while, Zhou Yan felt that something was wrong. He heard a strange sound getting closer and closer.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

Finally, Zhou Yan stopped and looked around, but he could not tell which direction he was going.

"Is this a swamp?"

Zhou Yan was surprised and bewildered. He looked over and was surprised to see a large pit in front of him.

Within the large pit, mud filled the air, and there was even a lot of white foam floating in the air, creating a strange scene.

With a single glance, Zhou Yan saw a huge rock that was about fifty to sixty feet tall. There were spiderweb-like ravines on the rock wall, as if it had suffered a violent impact.

"A swamp!"

Zhou Yan came to a sudden realization. With a thought, he came to a realization: "This is a swamp. Due to the passage of time, it has degenerated and produced miasma."

According to the ancient records, there were some places that would naturally form miasma and poisonous insects due to the lack of water. It was extremely dangerous.

"There must be ferocious beasts in the swamp."

Zhou Yan's heart trembled as he thought to himself, "No matter what, I should first test the power of the swamp and see if I can successfully cross it."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan took out a dagger and cut open his clothes. He soaked them in the water and twisted them into a ball. He then placed them in front of his nose and sniffed. There was no smell at all.

"As expected of a swamp, there's no poison at all."

Letting out a sigh of relief, Zhou Yan untied his belt and threw the dagger in.

Buzz!

In an instant, the lake water surged and ripples spread out. The dagger rolled in the water and sank to the bottom in a moment.

"Gulp..."

At that instant, Zhou Yan's eyes widened as his heart contracted violently. He held his breath and stared blankly at the dagger floating out of the water.

The surface of the dagger was stained with a filthy liquid that was purplish black in color, as if it had been smeared with ink.

"Poison!?" Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly as he took two steps back in shock.

"So, you're saying that there's poison in this swamp?"

Zhou Yan's eyes rolled around as he thought of a countermeasure. If he really wanted to dive into the swamp, he would definitely have to risk his life.
