Chapter 7: Saw-toothed Venomous Beast

  The twin brothers stood around the corpse of the saw-toothed poisonous beast, laughing loudly: "This time we hit it big, this saw-toothed poisonous beast has a condensed poison pill inside its body."

  "Poison Dan?" The young man in blue and the boy in black suddenly changed color.

  The slightly scholarly-looking twin brother nodded, "Indeed it's a poisonous dan, looks like it has only condensed for a few months, and is only the size of a walnut."

  A second-class demon beast is worth only a thousand taels of silver, and when divided among five people, each person gets only 200 taels. However, if the demon beast has an internal elixir, it's a different story. Even if the internal elixir is newly formed, it can be sold for a thousand taels on the market. A walnut-sized internal elixir can sell for at least two thousand taels. The toxic elixir is a type of internal elixir that can be used both as medicine and to cultivate poison skills.

  The red-clothed girl wanted to touch the black poison pill with her hand, but the blue-clothed youth immediately stopped her, "Yao Shimei, don't touch it! This poison pill has gathered all the toxins from the Saw-toothed Poison Beast's body. It can even corrode iron plates, and is extremely dangerous."

  "This is so fierce." The red-clothed girl stuck out her tongue.

  The youth in blue took out a jade box from his bosom and said, "Using a wooden or iron box won't do, only a jade box can isolate the toxic gas." After speaking, he manipulated the air with his left hand, grasped the black poisonous pill the size of a walnut, and carefully placed it into the jade box.

  Over there, the twin brothers had already collected materials from the Saw-toothed Beast's body and were putting them into a golden brocade pouch.

  After everything was settled, the twin brother frowned and said: "Liu Shixiong, we spent half a day's effort to kill one saw-toothed poisonous beast, but there are more than three in that cave, one of which is particularly large."

  "The girl in red suggested: 'Why don't we go back and ask our senior brothers and sisters for help?'"

  "What if someone else gets it first?"

  The young man in black rolled his eyes, "How is that possible? The Silent Mountains are at least a thousand miles in size, with complex and treacherous terrain, and rarely visited by people."

  The youth in blue shook his head, "Haven't you noticed? That poisonous heart grass is almost ripe."

  "What does it mean?" The red-clothed girl was momentarily puzzled.

  The youth in black was taken aback and said with a difficult expression: "Once the poisonous heart grass is mature, those serrated poisonous beasts will swallow it down."

  The youth in blue seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "Ordinary saw-toothed poisonous beasts can still be dealt with, but that largest saw-toothed poisonous beast is not something we can handle, so let's give up! Otherwise, the possibility of losing our lives is very high."

  Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, as the young man in blue had said, one poisonous grass was not worth risking their lives.

  "Plus one more thing."

  A clear and melodious voice came over.

  "Who!" The black-clad youth's eyes gleamed with a murderous aura as he tightly grasped the Green Dragon Halberd.

  Ye Chen walked step by step and said: "Don't be nervous, I just passed by here."

  The boy in black sneered: "Just passing by? You heard everything we said."

  "Don't be rash." The young man in blue gave the black-clad youth a glance, then stepped forward and blocked the three of them behind him, asking: "Who are you? We don't seem to have met before."

  "Leaf Dust cupped his hands and said: 'I am Leaf Dust, an outer disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect. I heard the sound of fighting and rushed over to take a look, no offense intended.'"

  "So that's how it is." The young man in blue didn't suspect anything else, the saw-toothed beast was extremely ferocious, and the sound of fighting spreading out was normal, let alone the other party being a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, not suitable for making enemies.

  The black-clad youth carefully sized up Ye Chen and said with a hint of sarcasm, "You're only at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, what can you possibly do to help us?"

  Ye Chen glanced at the black-clad youth and said to the blue-clad young man, "If I'm right, a larger saw-toothed beast's strength is equivalent to that of an early-stage Condensing Reality martial artist. It's indeed difficult to deal with, but I have a way to make it lose some of its mobility."

  "What's going on?" The red-clothed girl looked curious.

  Ye Chen knew that just showing off his skills was not enough to convince the crowd, so he drew out his fine steel sword. The several people in front of him saw him draw his sword and immediately gripped their own weapons tightly, ready for a surprise attack from Ye Chen at any moment.

  He walked up to a large tree and took a deep breath, then suddenly stabbed his sword forward.

  Hmph!

  Trees as large as two people embracing were pierced through like tofu, without any resistance.

  The youth in blue clothes showed a look of surprise on his face and exclaimed in a low voice: "The sword light converges to one point, what a brilliant sword skill."

  The cultivator of the Refining Qi Realm can easily release a sparse and ordinary sword light, but gathering all the sword light at the tip of the sword is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even the blue-clothed youth's cultivation couldn't achieve this point. Now seeing Ye Chen do it, he couldn't help but admire him greatly, secretly thinking that he indeed lives up to being a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

  Ye Chen turned around and said: "The Saw-toothed Beast is agile and has a strong defense, but as long as we disable one of its legs, everything will be settled."

  The black-clad youth had an extremely strong competitive spirit and coldly laughed: "It's easy to say, but the Saw-toothed Venomous Beast isn't a big tree that will just stand there and let you hit it."

  Ye Chen did not refute, and with a few swift swings of his sharp steel sword, he struck down.

  Pffft!

  The sword is sheathed.

  Just as the black-clad youth was about to mock him again, a few leaves above Ye Chen suddenly split into two, then four, with clean and straight cuts.

  At that moment, everyone took a cold breath. Without looking with their eyes, they could achieve this level of skill. How was this possible? Even the elder outside the Golden Light Gate couldn't do it.

  The young man in blue took a deep breath and smiled: "I am Liu Tao, an inner disciple of the Golden Light Gate. This is Wang Haichuan, these two are Yang Wen and Yang Wu brothers, and this is Yao Qing, Yao Shifu's sister." Liu Tao introduced the four one by one, obviously acknowledging Ye Chen.

  "It's an honor to meet all of you."

  Yao Qing chuckled and said: "Are all of you Flowing Cloud Sect disciples this strong?"

  "How is that possible?"

  ……

  A mound of earth hidden in the dense forest, with a height of just over ten meters, but its length and width exceeded one kilometer.

  "Ye brothers, walk another hundred steps and you'll see the cave. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be two Saw-toothed Poison Beasts guarding outside, and one big one inside." The few of them had all practiced lightness skills, so they walked quietly, like a group of ghosts.

  Ye Chen nodded and said softly: "Brother Liu, you should have a way to lure one out!"

  Liu Tao smiled faintly, "Saw-toothed poisonous beasts like to eat poisonous grass, I have five mature scorpion poisonous grasses here, although they are not as good as poisonous heart grass, but still effective." Before that, they used scorpion poisonous grass to lure out a saw-toothed poisonous beast, otherwise who would dare to act rashly.

  Before long, Ye Chen and the others saw the pitch-black cave and the two Saw-toothed Poison Beasts tens of meters apart, and they held their breath.

  Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Tao took out a long jade box from his bosom, opened it, and inside were five purple plants with nine leaves, slightly fishy smell, which was exactly the Scorpion Grass.

  Liu Tao explained, holding the scorpion grass in his hand: "The smell of scorpion grass spreads quickly. Once a saw-toothed poisonous beast smells it, we must immediately pull away. Otherwise, if other saw-toothed poisonous beasts surround us, it won't be good."

  Three breaths passed, and the serrated-toothed beast near several people raised its head.

  "It's coming." Yao Qing showed an excited look.

  It was as if they were playing a game, the saw-toothed poisonous beast took ten steps forward, and the crowd retreated thirty steps back. The saw-toothed poisonous beast took thirty steps forward, and the crowd retreated one hundred steps back.
