Before we set off to search for the herb, the village chief had specially told us that we had to leave the forest before nightfall. Otherwise, ferocious beasts would appear. I didn't expect that we would encounter a ferocious beast before nightfall.
After Nam shouted, I didn't see any ferocious beasts appear. He pulled me and quickly ran down the mountain. However, after running for a few steps, Nam suddenly stopped.
I found it strange and turned around to ask. Nam showed a bitter expression and pointed in front of us.
I then realized that there were two walnut-sized eyes in the pine forest in front of us that were faintly emitting a green light.
It turned out that the culprit was blocking our way. I pulled Nam and prepared to run up the mountain, but Nam didn't move. He shook his head at me. "It's useless. The Green Arrow Snake is extremely fast. It will catch up to us in a few steps. We were just going down the mountain. We didn't even run for a few steps before it circled in front of us. There's no point in turning back now."
Green Arrow Snake … That should be the name of the monster in front of us.
While I was thinking, Nam extended his hand and pulled me behind him. He took a deep breath and said, "If we meet a Green Arrow Snake, we can only fight and not run.
Duo Ji, stand here and don't move. Wait for me to deal with him. "
After he said that, he straightened his body and an imposing aura surged from his body as he charged into the pine forest in front of us.
His performance was very brave, but from the aura that the Green Arrow Snake was emitting, its cultivation should be at the early stages of the pressure point sealing stage. In terms of the monster race's cultivation, it would be the early stages of the monster race.
Nam's current cultivation was only at the late stages of the monster soldier realm. It was obvious that he wasn't the Green Arrow Snake's opponent.
I was worried that something would happen to Nam, so I quickly followed behind him.
When I reached the pine forest, the Green Arrow Snake had already revealed itself from the bushes. Its body was about three meters long and its scarlet tongue was flicking in and out. It was a clear indication of how powerful this ferocious beast was.
Meeting on a narrow path, Nam was obviously ready to fight to the death. He didn't notice that I was following him and immediately pounced towards the Green Arrow Snake.
His speed was very fast, but compared to the Green Arrow Snake, it was slow motion.
When he was halfway there, the Green Arrow Snake had already dodged his body at lightning speed. Its tail circled behind him and whipped him on the back.
The thick snake tail was like a huge whip, tearing the clothes on Nam's back, leaving a thick bloody mark.
Nam was brave. After being hit by the tail whip, he only grunted and got up from the ground. Without saying a word, he continued to pounce towards the Green Arrow Snake's position. But this time, he was cautious and did not use all his strength. Halfway through, he saw that the Green Arrow Snake had dodged, so he changed his direction and continued to chase.
Although the Green Arrow Snake was slightly stronger, it did not seem to be willing to fight Nam head-on. Instead, the two sides were in a stalemate for the time being.
The demon soldier cultivation and the demon spirit cultivation of the Green Arrow Snakes were evenly matched. Nam's morale was greatly boosted as he continued to roar. The aura on his body grew stronger and stronger.
I shook my head from the side. On the surface, it looked like they were evenly matched, but in reality, this was just the Green Arrow Snake's hunting instincts. Finding the most efficient way to obtain food had always been the only way to survive in the wild.
With the Green Arrow Snake's speed, Nam could not hurt it at all. Once its strength was exhausted, it could easily finish off Nam.
After confirming that Nam did not have the ability to finish off the Green Arrow Snake, I prepared to make my move.
The remaining cultivation in my body was not as high as Nam's, so brute force was naturally not enough. Furthermore, I did not want to reveal my methods. After thinking for a while, I took out a talisman from my Xiang Liu bag.
Because the Feng Shui Metaphysics Shop sold talismans, I would make some talismans every once in a while. The talismans in my Xiang Liu bag were the ones I made last time. Before I could send them back to the Metaphysics Shop, the Mountain and Sea Realm opened, so these talismans were left in my Xiang Liu bag.
Since talismans were created with enough spiritual power, only a small amount of spiritual power was needed to activate them. With my current cultivation, these talismans were the only methods I could use.
The talisman I took out was a yellow talisman of the lowest grade, called the Lightning Talisman.
This type of Lightning Talisman was similar to the Heaven's Lightning Talisman in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, but its power was much weaker. It could only summon a normal bolt of lightning. Its power was at the early stage of the Pressure Point Realm, similar to the Green Arrow Snake's cultivation.
Within the Monster realm, regardless of whether it was the Monster race or the beasts, their powers were different from the outside world. However, the attributes of their powers were similar.
The Green Arrow Snake's body was covered in black gas. Its power was obviously related to the word 'evil'. Using lightning techniques to deal with it was the most suitable.
With the Lightning Talisman in my hand, I waited for Nam and the Green Arrow Snake to finish another round. Nam's back was facing me, and the Green Arrow Snake's attention was focused on Nam. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I flicked my finger and infused the remaining energy in my body into the Lightning Talisman. In an instant, a twisting bolt of lightning appeared in the sky above the pine forest and struck down at the Green Arrow Snake.
The Green Arrow Snake was extremely fast, but no matter how fast it was, it couldn't be faster than the lightning. It didn't even have time to react before the lightning struck its body.
The lightning technique broke the evil, but it didn't have enough power. After striking down, it didn't kill the Green Arrow Snake, but only numbed its body. The black gas around it also dissipated by half.
The lightning that appeared out of nowhere naturally startled Nam, but his battle instincts as a beastman quickly reminded him. Taking advantage of its weakness, Nam's figure flashed and appeared in front of the Green Arrow Snake. Taking advantage of the paralysis of its body, Nam condensed a demonic aura in his hand and turned it into a hand knife, chopping straight at the head of the Green Arrow Snake.
Even though there was a difference in power, the Green Arrow Snake's cultivation had almost completely dissipated under the lightning technique. Nam's blade wasn't something that it could withstand.
With a cry, the Green Arrow Snake's body started to twitch. After flopping a few times, it was lifeless.
Nam's gaze was a little dazed. After killing the Green Arrow Snake, he looked around. It was obvious that the lightning had given him a lot of confusion.
Seeing that I was standing nearby, Nam didn't have any suspicions. He just asked me if I had seen the lightning.
I nodded and pretended to be shocked. After staying silent for a while, I said, "This is the peak of the mountain. The sky is a little dark today, so it's normal for lightning to appear …."
After my reminder, Nam instantly found a reason and nodded. The dazed expression on his face dissipated and he smiled. "It seems that the Green Arrow Snake is really unlucky to be struck by lightning. How unlucky is it!"
I grinned and continued, "It's not really unlucky. Even without the lightning, I saw that you were about to defeat it. It's really unlucky to have met you today."
Hearing what I said, Nam's face reddened. However, he didn't explain and only chuckled as a tacit agreement.
I couldn't tell that this brat had some vanity hidden in his simple and honest appearance.
However, this was normal as he was still young. Which child in their teens wasn't vain?
After randomly changing the topic, Nam wasn't curious about the lightning anymore. He turned to me and said excitedly, "I heard from the village chief that when a beast reaches the Monster Spirit realm, its body will form a Beast Core. I wonder if this Green Arrow Snake has one.
Duo Ji, wait by the side. I'll look for it. If I can find a Beast Core, we'll be rich. "
Beast Core?
I frowned. When the fatty's meridians were broken, I tried to find a Beast Core to heal him. At that time, I knew that the Monster race would have a Beast Core.
What was the Beast Core that Nam mentioned? What did it have to do with the Beast Core?
The Beast Core could repair meridians, which was what I needed the most at that moment. If the Beast Core had similar effects, it would be a blessing from the heavens.
However, I gave up on that thought after thinking for a while.
The Beast Core was something that was formed in the body of a Yang God Celestial Master. The Green Arrow Snake in front of me was just a simple acupuncture point. The difference in power was too great. Even if it could form something similar to the Beast Core, the effects would be far from it.
As I thought about all this, I stood at the side and watched Nam break open the Green Arrow Snake's corpse bit by bit. From its head, he took out a badly mangled object that was the size of a fingernail. He rubbed it on the animal skin on his body, revealing the ink inside.
