Gu Anlei's hands were trembling. After firing a shot at the giant snake at close range, she completely lost her fighting ability.
"This giant snake's reaction is terrifying. If we were any further away, it might have escaped!" Gu Anlei thought to herself, panting heavily. Although she was protected from being instantly killed by the Sigh of Life, the damage was real.
The swamp was still churning, but the battle there was beyond her help.
"Jiang Yuan, don't let it kill you!"
After praying, Gu Anlei took out the warship and piloted it into the air.
The battle in the swamp lasted for a full half hour before the churning mud gradually subsided, and the enormous snake body lay sprawled on the swamp, slowly sinking.
Upon seeing this, Gu Anlei immediately lowered the warship's altitude to meet Jiang Yuan.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan sat on the snake's head, his hair disheveled and his fists covered in cracks. Fighting a beast king of this level was no easy task; its difficulty was no less than the battle he fought with Wei Yue.
"Jiang Yuan, are you alright?" Gu Anlei asked as she jumped off the hovering platform.
Jiang Yuan picked up the Ink Sword and the Beast King's essence blood extracted from the Hand of Death, then walked to the giant snake's seven-inch spot and slashed down with his sword. Without the support of energy, although the giant snake still had extremely high defense, it was obviously no longer able to withstand his power, so in a few moves, he cut off most of the giant snake's body.
"It's a pity that such a huge beast king didn't have a spirit core!"
Jiang Yuan held a snake gallbladder that had shrunk a hundred times in his hand; it was the essence of the giant snake that he had compressed using divine power.
"You're not going to eat it, are you? It looks disgusting!" Gu Anlei felt nauseous when she saw the blood-stained gallbladder.
Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I won't eat such disgusting food!"
"Hurry up and pack up the spoils, let's get out of here quickly. I saw a lot of beastmen rushing towards us from up there!" Gu Anlei was, after all, a girl, and she really couldn't stand being in such a stinky place.
"Were you injured by the recoil from the ion cannon? Why is your mouth bleeding?" Jiang Yuan suddenly walked over and gestured for Gu Anlei to wipe the blood from her mouth.
"Really?" Gu Anlei asked, somewhat puzzled. She remembered that she had already treated her injuries, but since Jiang Yuan had said that, she still subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth.
"Not this way!"
Jiang Yuan casually reached out his hand, and Gu Anlei was completely unaware that the snake gall was in Jiang Yuan's palm. Just as Gu Anlei smelled the fishy stench and was about to ask Jiang Yuan how to deal with the snake gall, he suddenly slapped his hand, and the snake gall slipped into Gu Anlei's slightly open mouth.
"Ugh!" Gu Anlei felt a tightness in her throat and immediately tried to vomit.
But Jiang Yuan wouldn't let her waste such a great tonic so easily. He smiled and covered Gu Anlei's mouth, saying, "Don't spit it out, this is just my good intention!"
"Waaah..." Gu Anlei couldn't speak, and could only make strange sounds from the bottom of her throat.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan poured her a glass of the Fountain of Life and warned, "I'll let you go, but don't throw up! This stuff is worth a fortune!"
Gu Anlei couldn't speak, she could only nod.
Jiang Yuan then withdrew his hand and gave her the Fountain of Life, which Gu Anlei immediately tilted her head back and gulped down.
After finishing the drink, perhaps due to psychological factors, she ran to the side and began to dry heave.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan joked, "I gave you snake gall, not snake eggs. You're making it sound like you're pregnant!"
Hearing these teasing words, Gu Anlei was so angry that she forgot about vomiting. She pressed her chest and said angrily, "You shoved that stinky, fishy thing into my mouth without my permission. Don't you know I almost choked to death from disgust?"
"Terrible communication skills!" Jiang Yuan frowned and shook his head. He turned around, jumped off the hovering platform, and said, "You should focus on your cultivation. Otherwise, if you're still only at the Void Spirit Realm, I'll still give you priority next time I have something good that I don't need!"
"Hey, how can you be so self-righteous about being bad!" Gu Anlei was furious; this guy was doing it on purpose.
However, she still appreciated Jiang Yuan's kindness. The snake gall, after being refined by Jiang Yuan, had accumulated a considerable amount of essence. When she swallowed it, she felt its surging power; otherwise, she wouldn't have risked being disgusted to swallow it. Presumably, as long as she refined its power, reaching the first or second stage of the True Spirit Realm would be a certainty.
"Jiang Yuan, do you need my help?"
Seeing Jiang Yuan jump back onto the giant snake's corpse, Gu Anlei asked him a question.
"If you don't mind the dirt, you can come down and help me remove the earthworm tendons!"
Jiang Yuan's purpose in killing the giant snake was to obtain the Earth Dragon Tendon. This giant snake showed signs of evolving into an Earth Dragon, so it must have an Earth Dragon Tendon inside its body, which is the best material for bowstrings.
Therefore, this giant snake unfortunately caught Jiang Yuan's eye.
The giant snake was hoisted up by the warship, and five minutes later, under the methodical operation of the two, Jiang Yuan left with a 66-meter-long earth dragon tendon.
Ten minutes after they left, a group of orcs and two men in black robes arrived at the swamp.
Who killed the Blackwater Serpent King?
"I smell the scent of elven wings, could it be from the elves?!"
"Impossible! The elves are already infiltrating Hua Sheng Academy. They wouldn't possibly bring people to besiege the Blackwater Serpent King!"
Who is that?
"Regardless of who it is, the most urgent task now is to call upon all the Beast Kings to gather the blood of living beings and the souls of ten thousand beasts!"
"That's right, issue the order. Starting today, launch an attack on the Human Race and the Holy Spirit Race. We need more blood!"
