Chapter 1499 – Ungrateful?
But Yang Qiqi still stepped forward, testing her luck, trying to get close to the snow herb. The snake didn’t give her much of a chance though, lunging forward in a quick strike once more!
Qiqi knew that the negotiations had failed after that- it didn’t matter if it understood her or not, it wasn’t letting her near this herb!
Qiqi gritted her teeth. Should she just give up here? Looking at that snow white mountain, she knew that she wouldn’t just come across another herb of this value so easily again. Would she even be able to find anything later, if she gave up on this one herb?
Plus, even if she did, there had to be other beasts protecting those herbs. There was already a snake guarding this one, after all.
“Fine, I’m going for it,” Qiqi gritted her teeth and took out a poisoned dagger, aiming it at the snake’s head and stabbing it!
If it were some other Mystic class fighter, the snake wouldn’t be an easy target especially as a beast that size. Having two practitioners, though, would make it quite a lot easier- after all, it hadn’t made a full transition into an evolved spirit beast. If one were to rate its strength level, this one wasn’t even a full Golden class yet.
In fact, one Mystic was already enough if they utilised a method to instant kill this snake- but, while Qiqi had the strength of a Mystic, she was a physical practitioner. She had reached Mystic class, but her attack power wasn’t there yet.
With a click, the dagger hit the snake’s head, scratching only some of the skin- it wasn’t a powerful enough blow!
The snake did get injured by it, but all of a sudden, it opened its gaping mouth and threw itself at Qiqi. Qiqi may have good speed, but she had just attacked the snake with her dagger and didn’t have any time to pull back before the snake’s teeth caught her arm, causing a wound deep enough for the bone to be visible! Fresh blood dripped down her arm.
It hurt like hell, but she didn’t let go of the weapon- she clearly knew that, unless she ran away now, she would become snake food as soon as she dropped the dagger. She wouldn’t stand a chance bare handed.
The aggravated snake, on the other hand, refused to give any ground even after wounding her- that dagger from Qiqi earlier evidently wasn’t something it was going to forget anytime soon. It lunged at her once more.
Qiqi didn’t have much of a choice- clenching her jaw, she swiped at the snake one more time with her dagger!
Fighting a snake usually required more defense, but Qiqi didn’t know how to start when it came to this sort of giant snake. She could only strike at its body repeatedly with her dagger, but the snake only grew even more frenzied from the pain. Not only was it using bite attacks, it even lashed its tail at her!
The snake was giant, and Qiqi didn’t quite have enough time to dodge it- the tail landed a heavy strike, sending her onto the ground!
Qiqi was taken back- this dagger was more than enough to kill a human, but when it came to giant snakes, it evidently was too small to be good for anything! Seeing the snake come for her once more, she could only put her life on the line to attack it, unleashing a flurry of attacks on its body- only for the snake to retaliate by biting off an entire chunk of meat from her leg!
“Ah-!” Qiqi’s tears were on the verge of coming out, but she held it in and clenched her teeth. Waving her dagger to the front, she imagined thie snake as the number one person she hated the most in the world, and started plunging her dagger into the snake repeatedly, “Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi! I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, you bastard!”
The poison from the dagger finally seemed to have taken effect by the time the snake took out a chunk of Qiqi’s meat- it still hadn’t finished swallowing it when it started to sway side to side before falling to the floor, no longer moving…
“Fuu… The poison’s working?” Qiqi let out a deep breath and patted at her thumping heart, mumbling to herself, “I almost died there! No wonder Uncle Mubei called this test dangerous, even a big snake could’ve just eaten me!”
But, she still managed to defeat the snake- a relaxed smile appeared on her lips. This snow herb must be worth quite a lot, right?
As for the injury- yes, it was on the serious side, but an assassin like Qiqi had taken more than her fair share of injuries. It wasn’t something so unbreable.
With a limp, she climbed off the ground and looked at her blood-stained arm and leg. She didn’t waste any more time and took out a small bottle of medicine- it was the injury medicine that Lin Yi had given to her a while ago.
Qiqi carefully opened it and used the medicine on her leg and arm, not willing to waste much of it.
“Well… not too much left… I need to get some more from that guy the next time I see him!” Qiqi had no idea how ungrateful she was being at this point- she didn’t even remember how she had just used the snake as a punching bag while imagining Lin Yi…
After she finished applying the medicine, she continued to move on. Who knew if anyone had heard the sounds of her battle with the snake? She didn’t even bother resting as she limped away, ready to collect the snow herb…
Some distance away on the ice mountain, two teams seemed to have discovered a medicine herb at the same time, and were currently on a tense standoff- anyone could attack at any moment.
But their strength levels were quite similar, one team had a Mystic early phase, Mystic late phase, and Mystic mid phase.
The other team had two Mystic late phase peak, and one Mystic mid phase.
And so, if the two teams were to get into a fight, it would not be easy to tell who would be the winner. In this sort of standoff, a fight would have to depend on endurance.
However, some distance away was Zhang Naipao, Zhuang Niaopao, and Zhuang Niaoqiang- they were watching the scene unfold!
“Great Pao, we’ve got a bunch of lamb here!” Niaopao said excitedly.
It wasn’t a mystery why he was so excited- this team of theirs didn’t need to spend too much effort looking for the treasures, they only needed to look for people and take their stuff away. As a result, they had already each gathered fifty points worth of treasures, despite it being only half a day since the test began! Naipao himself, however, had more than a hundred points!
“Yss, not bad- go tell them to give us their findings then!” Naipao nodded, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“Stop the fight, all of you stop!” Niaopao walked over confidently as he pointed at everyone, “Great Pao is here, stop fighting- you guys can continue after we leave!”
