Chapter 80: Another Scale?

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Another Scale?

The giant snake turned to look at Ye Yunyi.

It stared at the faint metallic sheen shimmering across his skin.

A hint of confusion flickered in its serpentine eyes.

It truly couldn’t comprehend how this human could remain completely unharmed within its toxic mist!

’How bizarre!’

’It’s simply too bizarre!’

But that confusion was quickly replaced by absolute fury!

The next moment!

ROAR!

It let out a furious roar!

And charged toward Ye Yunyi!

Its maw gaped open!

Baring a pair of venomous fangs!

They gleamed menacingly!

Huge droplets of venom clung to their tips!

The giant snake was about to swallow Ye Yunyi whole!

It would teach this human who dared to provoke it a lesson!

Meanwhile, Pan Xuechun and the others could only watch.

They watched as the giant snake shot toward Ye Yunyi!

The next moment!

Just as the giant snake was about to swallow Ye Yunyi whole!

But!

In a blur of motion!

Ye Yunyi vanished from the spot!

The giant snake lunged at empty air!

Its head slammed heavily into the ground!

It skidded across the earth!

Plowing a long furrow into the distance!

Kicking up clouds of dust!

Giant trees in its path shattered!

A deep trench was gouged into the earth!

ROAR!

The giant snake let out an enraged roar!

Just as it was about to lift its head!

It sensed a figure appear on top of its head!

A chilling sensation instantly enveloped it!

It looked up!

It was none other than...

Ye Yunyi, now holding his Battle Axe!

The next moment!

The Battle Axe in his hand came whistling down!

CRACK!

A shattering sound rang out!

The giant snake’s Scale Armor shattered instantly!

The single axe strike nearly cleaved the giant snake’s head in two!

AAGH!

A pained shriek erupted from the giant snake’s mouth!

Blood gushed out like water from a broken fire hydrant!

What...!

Pan Xuechun and the others stared.

Their eyes widened in an instant, unable to believe what they were seeing!

A cold dread shot up from their feet to their scalps!

’This...!’

’Can someone tell us what’s happening?!’

’Just...!’

’Just what in the world happened?!’

’This guy...!’

’Wasn’t he just picking up Golden Tier Crystal Cores?’

’Shouldn’t he be weak?!’

But the scene before them forced them to accept a new reality!

The man before them was a true powerhouse!

He was far, far stronger than any of them!

They had completely underestimated him!

At this thought, Pan Xuechun’s legs went weak!

’To think I dared to speak to him like that... I was courting death!’

Meanwhile,

The giant snake, sensing how terrifying Ye Yunyi was, immediately tried to flee.

But!

The next moment, Ye Yunyi flashed in front of it.

One punch!

Space warped around his fist!

Then, it slammed into the giant snake’s head!

The impact widened the already gaping wound!

The giant snake reeled from the intense pain!

Just as it was about to roar in agony!

Another flash of cold light streaked past!

SQUELCH!

Flesh!

Torn asunder!

A massive snake head!

Went flying through the air!

THUD!

A dull thud echoed as it hit the ground!

The snake head landed heavily on the ground!

It landed not far from Pan Xuechun!

The snake’s body also crashed to the ground!

However, it was still thrashing about!

Snakes were like that.

Even after being decapitated, the body could still move.

In an instant, dust and debris flew everywhere as the body thrashed!

The neck was like a broken dam, furiously spewing blood!

However, the body no longer posed any threat.

Pan Xuechun and the others stared at the severed head.

They all felt numb.

’Astounding!’

’Absolutely astounding!’

’What kind of power is this?!’

’In just a few moves!’

’He took down a Mid-Diamond Stage giant snake!’

’And decapitated it just like that!’

’It’s terrifying!’

HSSS!

The next moment!

While they were still stunned, the severed head began to move!

Its scarlet, serpentine eyes, filled with defiance, glared at Pan Xuechun and the others!

Black mist gathered in its mouth, preparing to spew at them!

But!

Just as it was about to spray,

a figure flashed over, landed on the snake’s head, and stomped down hard!

It forced the snake’s mouth shut!

The mouthful of black mist erupted inside the snake’s head!

Then, Ye Yunyi brought his Battle Axe down.

He split the snake’s head open!

A massive, diamond-like Crystal Core fell into Ye Yunyi’s hands!

Ye Yunyi glanced at the Crystal Core before storing it in his System Space.

Then, with a backhanded swing of his axe,

he carved out the venom gland!

With that, the snake head finally went still.

It was no longer a threat.

A short while later, the giant snake’s thrashing body also fell still.

It lay motionless.

Ye Yunyi looked at the venom gland and the Crystal Core.

He thought for a moment.

’I suspected something here was attracting the Exotic Beasts.’

He looked at the Golden Giant Tree.

’It must be over there!’

With that, he headed over.

With a light tap of his foot, he shot straight up!

Then, he began searching through the tree.

’Hm?’

Ye Yunyi’s eyes narrowed as he looked to one side.

’What’s this?!’

’There’s a massive hollow in the tree here!’

’It looks like this was the giant snake’s lair!’

He went straight inside.

Looking inside,

it was pitch-black and reeked of a foul, musky odor.

Ye Yunyi ventured deeper.

After a moment!

At the very end, there was a patch of light.

Ye Yunyi stared at it, stunned for a moment.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

’What...!’

’...is this?!’

There, on a stone platform before him,

lay a single, enormous scale!

The scale was identical to the one Ye Yunyi had gotten from Zhao Kang!

Right now, two lotuses were growing on top of the scale!

Ye Yunyi walked over.

He looked at the sight before him.

At the two lotuses.

One was black, the other white.

The black one had already been eaten.

Only its stem remained.

Ye Yunyi stared, his mind reeling.

’What does this mean?!’

’Could it be that the giant snake mutated because it ate this black lotus?’

’Is that how it developed a potent venom that didn’t match its power level?’

’It’s very likely!’

’Then what about this White Lotus? What does it do?’

’More importantly!’

’These lotuses grew by absorbing the Energy from the scale!’

’Then!’

’What on earth is the origin of this scale?!’

All these questions raced through Ye Yunyi’s mind.

At this moment, Ye Yunyi’s mind was in turmoil.

’Whatever!’

’I’ll take this stuff back first!’

’I can study it carefully later!’

Meanwhile!

Outside!

Pan Xuechun and the others hadn’t been idle.

They had rushed to Ye Ming’s side.

They carefully pulled him out of the giant tree he was embedded in.

Seeing the shattered surroundings and how deeply he had been embedded, even they were shocked that Lord Ye Ming hadn’t kicked the bucket.

’If it were us!’

’We would have died countless times over!’

’A single whip from that tail could have turned us to dust!’

A short while later,

Ye Ming was finally pulled free.

His gaze was still trembling with shock!

After all, even though he’d been stuck in the tree, he had witnessed the entire fight between Ye Yunyi and the giant snake!

As the strongest member of their group!

As someone who had confronted the giant snake head-on!

He, more than anyone, understood just how terrifyingly powerful Ye Yunyi was!
