The young man stood under the scorching sun and swore an oath to destroy one of the most powerful sects in the Central Region. This oath seemed like a joke, but no one could have imagined that just a few years later, the young man would actually fulfill the oath he made today. Of course, this is all a story for later.
In this way, Gu Yuan stayed in the desert and endured the scorching sun from the sky. When he couldn't bear it any longer, he would take out the silver-white cabbage-colored pendant given to him by the little witch and input spiritual energy into it. Then a cool feeling would come from his body to resist the heat.
Fortunately, thanks to this magical thing, Gu Yuan can stay here without being affected too much.
Time passed quickly, and Gu Yuan had already practiced here for another seven days.
Somewhere in the desert.
The sun was still scorching, and the boy's skin was tanned. The purple tint on his skin had completely disappeared. Fortunately, the silver pendant provided a cool feeling, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
The young man leaped forward, clenching his fists tightly, and struck down fiercely.
With a loud bang, his fist slammed into the desert floor. The pale yellow sand instantly turned blood red. A pool of foul-smelling blood burst out from the ground, splashing onto Gu Yuan's arm. In an instant, a sizzling sound could be heard, and the foul-smelling blood began to corrode Gu Yuan's skin.
Gu Yuan bared his teeth quickly, "This damn thing has been chasing you for two whole days. I finally killed you, and you still want to use your blood to hurt me."
He quickly sat down and circulated spiritual energy to his arm, forcing out all the blood from his arm. Then he took out a green spiritual medicine from the space ring, chewed it randomly, and smeared the spiritual medicine residue on his wound. Then he took out the clothes he had taken off from the space ring, tore out a strip of cloth and tied it around his arm. Gu Yuan nodded with relief.
Grabbing the sand from the ground, Gu Yuan muttered, "Sand viper, I'll see if you can survive this. I've been chasing you for two days. I haven't even had a sip of water. I don't believe you can escape again today."
Gu Yuan chuckled. This sand viper was a rather ferocious monster that specialized in the desert. It often hibernated beneath the desert sand and would never come out.
Of course, whenever it comes out, it must have seen its own prey.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan was cautious and didn't get caught in a sneak attack. Otherwise, the venom of the sand viper is extremely terrifying. Just a fingernail's worth of venom can suffocate a person to death in a few breaths.
The venom of the sand viper was incredibly toxic. Even Gu Yuan couldn't counteract its venom with a magical elixir. So after killing the sand viper, Gu Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If it had bitten him, he would have died in the desert. Fortunately, he had killed it, so nothing was wrong.
Pulling out what was on the ground, the thick snake body gradually emerged. The spiritual energy in Gu Yuan's hand completely covered his own hands. Not only that, the red flame also surged directly from his body, forming a layer of light fire covering Gu Yuan's arms and palms.
Facing such a terrifying snake-like monster, Gu Yuan had to be cautious, so he covered his arms with spiritual energy and red flames without hesitation before daring to touch the corpse of the Tusha Kui snake.
With a strong pull, Gu Yuan grasped the body of the sand viper with both hands and pulled it out. What surprised him was that he didn't pull it out completely this time.
Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and pulled hard. The body of the sand viper was beyond Gu Yuan's imagination. It was as long as two meters. This was the length Gu Yuan estimated after he completely pulled out the body of the sand viper.
Gu Yuan had been hunting the sand viper for two whole days. The viper had been hiding itself beneath the sand, never revealing its full form, so Gu Yuan had no idea it was so enormous.
If Gu Yuan had known that the body of this sand viper was so long, he would definitely not have chased it, but would have chosen to escape directly.
Because the cultivation level of a sand viper is directly proportional to its length. Generally speaking, a newly born sand viper is only about the length of a finger. A two-meter-long sand viper like this one has basically reached the realm of Spirit Master, at least the strength of a first-level Spirit Master. This means that Gu Yuan is already fighting against a higher level. Moreover, sand vipers are extremely venomous. Thinking of this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but shudder. He was really reckless, doing such a thing without fully understanding the situation. Fortunately, no accidents happened this time, otherwise, it would really be his death.
"But fortunately, I have successfully killed the Sand Viper, and this body should belong to me now."
Gu Yuan chuckled. This sand viper's body was a valuable asset. Its blood contained toxins. While not as potent as its venom, it was still quite potent. Covering it on a weapon was a good option.
And after its blood is neutralized by the spiritual medicine, it can also be used as an external liquid to stimulate the speed of one's own cultivation.
Because the sand viper has two attributes, sand and fire.
Its fire attribute matched Gu Yuan's fire attribute perfectly. The fire energy contained in its blood could be used to evolve its own Red Flame, which was also a good thing.
Gu Yuan took out several jade bottles from his space ring, then used a knife to cut open the body of the sand viper, leaving a small incision. The blood inside flowed along the knife into the jade bottle in Gu Yuan's hand.
Although this kind of blood is highly corrosive, it has no corrosive effect on jade, so there is no problem for Gu Yuan to use it to store jade.
After filling ten jade bottles, Gu Yuan smacked his lips and said, "What a pity! It's a pity that I can't collect all the blood. Otherwise, I could have collected ten more bottles."
Gu Yuan became more and more stingy. He never liked to waste things that were of great benefit to him. But there was no way. He had limited jade bottles on him, and the rest could only be wasted in the desert.
In addition to blood, other things on the sand viper are also good things, especially the scales above seven inches of the sand viper.
That’s right, it’s scales, which have super strong defensive power and are more than enough to be used as a heart-protecting mirror.
Gu Yuan pulled the scales off with all his strength and put them into his space ring.
