Dang!
The tail failed to hit the intended target but a hard tal. The Serpent King was surprised to find another human blocked its tail. It thought all humans had run away.
"Your shield wall!" Tang Shaoyang called out, and Zhang ngyao activated her shield wall, protecting her and the fallen Wei Xie.
The blue thick shield wall rose, covering the two humans. The poison fog also could not pass through the shield wall. The Serpent King was about to spit its corrosive poison, but it sensed a high heat from below.
The serpent looked down, the ground below its body was turning blue for so reason. That spot was where the heat ca from, confused with the event, the ground burst out of fla like a torrent. The blue fla burned its scales, things got even worse when the blue fire burned the poison fog. The fire spread out through the poison, burning his body from the tail to the head.
Hisssssss!
The Serpent King hissed in pain as it slamd its body here and there to escape from the burning blue fire. Thanks to the fire, the poison fog was burned to nothingness, leaving black smoke behind. The fire was strong enough to burn the surface scale, causing the scales to lose their luster but charred black marks here and there.
The smoke blocked its view while trying to search for the culprit who burned it. The serpent moved its head, looking right, left, and forward. Amidst its confusion, the ground shook, and it could feel that sothing was coming for it.
It did not take long for the serpent to see what was coming. A bear shrouded in blue fire charged toward its body head-on. Activating [Fla Armor] and [Charge] after that, Moon struck the Serpent King's body with his body.
Bam!
The Serpent King could not react in ti as Moon suddenly appeared two ters in front of it. No, it was because of the smoke that blocked its view. The serpent did not see Moon coming for it.
The serpent's long body was smashed by Moon. The spiral horn destroyed the scale and tore the fleshy white at of the serpent that was covered in purple blood. The serpent slamd its body here and there, hissing painfully.
Tang Shaoyang appeared next to Moon, he rubbed his head while looking at the piece of chunk at on the horn, "Good job!" The blue fire vanished on the spot where he rubbed the bear, but his eyes were still locked on the at. The purple was burned dried while the at turned golden-brownish.
The at looked appetizing, hence he plucked the at from the horn and got the first bite. Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, alas, the texture did not make the at taste better. It was extrely bitter and amiss, he did not like it as he spat the unchewed at.
At this mont, The Serpent King had regained its composure. Its majestic head stood straight, looking at the bear and the human. The serpent's attention fully focused on the pair and did not notice three people appeared behind it.
Liang Suyin, Fu Dandan, and Dai Wenqian took a detour and leaped to the serpent. Liang Suyin thrust her silver spear forward while Fu Dandan and Dai Wenqian slashed their swords downward.
The spear barely pierced the scale while the sword cut the scales. The tingling pain caused the Beast King to turn around. Its yellow eyes found three humans were running away, the serpent hissed, and was about to give chase without realizing it made a big mistake. It gave the back open to Tang Shaoyang.
The Serpent King had not moved yet but two axes struck its back again. This ti it was not just a tingling pain. The axes destroyed its natural defense, the scales struck deeper to the body. The force behind the axes also slamd its body to the ground.
The harrowing pain on its back did not stop the beast to stand again. Its head was moving around, looking confused as its gaze darted around Tang Shaoyang, the three girls, and Zhang ngyao. Realizing it was in a dire situation, The Serpent King tried to find an unguarded spot to run away from the human's encirclent.
Swoosh!
It found the direction but the injuries on its body slowed its movent. Zhang ngyao stored her shield and lance in the inventory. She rushed toward where the serpent tried to escape.
Fwoosh!
She leaped to the air, while in the air, she took out the lance. Holding the lance with her two hands, she activated her skill, [Unbending Strike]. Her body and lance flashed down.
Bum!
The lance pierced through the Serpent King's head down to the ground, leaving the handle. The serpent went berserk, slamming its body here and there. It was in agony and tried to break free from the lance.
Zhang ngyao did not let go, she held the lance. The big serpent could not even shake the lance under her grip. The rampage lasted for two minutes before the serpent completely stopped moving. Even so, Zhang ngyao did not lower her guard down and held the land for another thirty minutes.
[You have leveled up!]
[You gained 2 attribute points!]
[You can allocate the attribute point by opening the status screen!]
[You have killed The Beast King of Clarity Forest!]
[Congratulations! You have acquired hidden rewards, 1 Level and 1 Level 8 Treasure Chest]
Only after she heard the notification she did release the grip from the lance. The notification told her that the serpent was dead.
Tang Shaoyang had long turned around, walking toward Wei Xi. His face turned blue from the poison, "How is it?" He asked Zhang ngyao who tended Wei Xie with no tools, "He is poisoned for sure, and also a few of his ribs fractured," that was the best she could do without tools.
External and internal injuries could be healed with a healing potion, but they needed an antidote to neutralize the poison. Wei Xi's condition left him with frustration, 'Do you know sothing about Poison, Teacher?' His only choice was his teacher, The Demon Swordsman.
—Unfortunately, demons, especially my kind, are immune to poison to a certain extent. So I don't know much about poison, let alone antidote.
Tang Shaoyang's only choice was Level 8 Treasure Chest, he could only try his luck on the chest to save Wei Xi's life.
—I know how to make the antidote. From my vision, the serpent should be similar to the serpent in my forest.
Karan, who always stayed quiet, finally spoke, bringing positive news for him. Tang Shaoyang's eyes brightened up, "What should we do?" He blurted out that caused confusion to the people around her. They did not know that Tang Shaoyang was conversing with the spirit in his head.
—If the guy was poisoned by the poison fog, it should not be fatal. He has twelve hours, and you don't need to worry, the antidote is actually easy to make!
—For now, just feed the guy the healing potion to stabilize his internal injuries.
Tang Shaoyang turned toward the half-awoke Wei Xi, "Do you still have the healing potion?" The latter nodded his head, "Good, drink the potion first, I will get the antidote. Don't worry, Cao Jingyi won't be a widow yet," he cracked a joke with a wide grin.
Even though he managed to crack a joke, he was quick with the move.
—The herb should be in the serpent territory, you need to find three herbs…
Karan was telling the herb's characteristics, the color, the shape, and where it usually grew. Thanks to Karan, Tang Shaoyang managed to gather the herbs they were looking for.
—Good, get the four Arriosil leaves, two Quassia leaves, and two Aweosil leaves. Grind the leaves
Tang Shaoyang followed the instruction without interrupting Karan. Wei Xi's life was too important, he did not want to lose one of his trusted n. He ground the leaves and mixed them well.
—Now get half a cup of serpent's blood, pour the serpent blood into the grounded herbs.
Tang Shaoyang then rushed back toward the Serpent King's corpse. He took the blood and poured the blood into the cup with the grounded herbs.
—Stir the blood, carefully. About thirty tis or until the blood's color changed into dark yellow.
Tang Shaoyang stirred the purple blood and the green grounded herbs carefully with a twig. He counted in his head how many tis he had stirred the blood. Slowly, the purple blood changed into a dark yellow thick liquid.
—That should be okay. You can feed the antidote to your subordinate now, this should be funny…
Karan muttered amusedly that caused Tang Shaoyang to pause his step, "You are not joking around, right Karan?" Wei Xi's life was at the stake, not sothing that should joke around.
—Don't worry, the antidote is real, but it tastes like sh*t. Your subordinate would not have an appetite for at least three days or even a week, Huhuhu…
Karan let out amused laughter at the thought of soone drinking that sh*t. He was soone who had tasted, and it was one of the worst monts in his life that he could not forget even after he had turned into a spirit.
Curious, Tang Shaoyang brought the cup in his hand to the nose. Sothing that tasted like sh*t should be extrely slly, it was sothing he had experienced, the stinky tofu.
—The antidote is odorless and deadly, Kuhuhu… I can't wait to see his expression
Tang Shaoyang brought the antidote to Wei Xi, "This is the antidote, drink it!"
Curious, Kang Xue and the others tried to look at the thing called "antidote". It looked like so fantasy antidote.
Tang Shaoyang brought the cup to Wei Xi's mouth. The mont the dark yellow liquid touched Wei Xi's tongue, his expression scrunched ugly, was about to spit the antidote, "If you want Cao Jingyi to be a widow, then you can spit the antidote. This is the only thing we have to neutralize the poison,"
Hearing that, Wei Xi forced him to swallow the antidote that tasted like sh*t. His blue face turned purple as a disgusted expression ford on his face.
Tang Shaoyang's head was filled with Karan's laughter. The Great Warrior seed to be happy that soone suffered the sa fate as him, even though he had a slight smile while watching Wei Xi drink the antidote.
As soon as he finished half a cup of antidote, he hit the cup away. It was as if his body was filled with vigor, he yelled loudly, "Water! Water! I need water, please~,"
Tang Shaoyang could no longer hold his laughter when he was Wei Xi's current state. He laughed aloud while Wei Xi stared at him with eyes full of resentnt.
