Chapter 961: Chapter 49 Great Progress in Skill_5
The giant snake had clearly suffered a severe injury, its body twisting continuously as blue blood flowed from the wound. Mouthfuls of pink poisonous fog were continuously expelled, preventing Ah Dai and Sheng Xie from approaching. Any plants that touched even the slightest bit of the poison fog would immediately wither and die.
Ah Dai knew that even though he had successfully stabbed the snake with his sword, it was not a fatal wound. It seemed as if there was a powerful force within the snake’s body that had deflected the Energy Sword the moment it penetrated the snake, preventing it from damaging the snake’s bones and meridians. In great pain, the snake became enraged, swinging its body wildly. The surrounding area within a few dozen meters was engulfed in a storm of flying sand and rocks, and a large swath of plants disappeared under its massive body. Ah Dai could finally see the full extent of the snake, which was nearly thirty meters long. Despite being dozens of meters away, he could still feel the Strong Wind generated by the snake’s swinging body. Sheng Xie suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, as the pink poisonous fog had already begun to spread. Ah Dai was not slack either, and he floated up, landing on top of a large tree, tens of meters high.
The snake gradually calmed down, coiling its body into a defensive position and staring viciously at Ah Dai and Sheng Xie. Sheng Xie, far from being intimidated by the powerful enemy, let out a long cry as if in great excitement.
Ah Dai summoned a mysterious iron bow from his Dragon’s Blood. Although his archery was nothing special, the snake made for a large target and was still easy to hit. He knew that with his own level of power, he could only shoot three Energy Arrows. Given the massive size of the snake’s body, unless he could hit its vital points, it would be difficult to inflict any significant damage on it.
Although Ah Dai had injured the snake, it still regarded Sheng Xie as its main enemy, continuously raising its head to spew mouthfuls of poisonous fog. Sheng Xie did not rush to attack the formidable adversary, instead flying to a place out of reach of the poison fog and circling. Clearly, the snake’s poisonous fog, just like Sheng Xie’s Dragon Flame, had a certain quantity. By now, the fog had gradually begun to dissipate, and through the thinning poison, the snake’s body could be seen more clearly.
Ah Dai stood steadily on top of the tree, channeling the True Qi within his body, and a yellow Solid State Energy Arrow materialized. With a loud shout, he suddenly let his True Qi burst forth, enveloping the mysterious iron bow under a white light and pulling it back to full draw, his energy tightly locked onto the snake’s head. The astonishing vigor startled the snake, and it clearly sensed the death threat coming from the human on the tree who had previously injured it. Retreating its head into the coil, it watched Ah Dai’s direction warily.
Sheng Xie naturally would not miss this opportunity, quietly drifting to a spot out of the snake’s line of sight before suddenly diving down, targeting the snake’s head. The snake, sensing danger, retracted its head and opened its massive jaws in preparation to bite Sheng Xie as it swooped down. Seeing no opportunity, Sheng Xie flapped its wings and rose again, filled with rage. Although the giant snake had lived in that location for thousands of years and attained a high level of cultivation, it was, after all, just a snake. If Sheng Xie had been fully grown, it would not take the snake seriously, but it was still in its growth period and had a certain gap in strength compared to the snake.
The snake managed to scare Sheng Xie away, but this also gave Ah Dai an opportunity. Aiming for the snake’s head, he released his right hand, and a flash of yellow light passed by. The Energy Arrow that Ah Dai shot contained the energy of explosion. Amid a booming sound, the snake’s body suddenly rolled over, its tail having been blown open by the arrow, losing a fifth of its body. As the Energy Arrow had been shot, the snake had felt the threat of death. Although Ah Dai’s arrow wasn’t very accurate, shooting a bit lower than he had anticipated, it would still be life-threatening to hit the front chest area of the snake. With no other choice, the snake had to raise its tail in an instant to block the Energy Arrow. The transforming Energy Arrow, powered by the mysterious iron bow, not only penetrated the snake’s Scales but also exploded within its body, blowing off a section of it.
