Chapter 50: The Great Demon Winged Snake (Part Five)

  "It's another quest, why does everything have to be a quest? Can't we just get it directly?" Su Ming was annoyed by the little spirit's words.

  "Sir, is there such thing as a free lunch in this world?"

  "Definitely not." Su Ming shook his head and said.

  "Young master, so you knew all along. Only through continuous effort and sacrifice can one possess what they desire. Work hard."

  "I'm going, you've also learned to educate people." Su Ming came back to his senses after the little spirit finished speaking, but what the little spirit said was right, if he wanted to possess something, he had to pay a price.

  Under the guidance of the little elf, Su Ming bypassed the territory of the Black Bear tribe and headed towards the only large lake in the wilderness forest. He was now covered in bloodstains and filth all over his body, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, he had run out of water on him and needed to find some water resources.

  The great lake in the wilderness forest is a place full of danger, where the monsters living there are all above three stages. In the depths of the lake, there is even a late-stage four-tier monster, said to be a giant winged snake with magical beast bloodline, which can reach up to five tiers and is the king of this great lake.

  This great lake is generally only visited by Tianling realm experts, because in the water, human combat power will decrease a lot, while demon beasts can fully exert their strength. Even Tianling realm experts may not be able to defeat fourth-order late-stage demon beasts in the water.

  Su Ming went to the lake not to kill the aquatic monster, but simply to fetch some water and wash his body. The little spirit had just told him that several scattered martial artists took a detour when they saw his appearance, this appearance couldn't attract scattered martial artists at all, which made him very depressed.

  If someone knew that Su Ming was depressed because his outfit couldn't attract the scattered cultivators to rob him, they would probably scold him for being crazy.

  As the sky had already darkened, Su Ming sat in meditation for a night in the forest. With his current body, not sleeping for a night was no big deal. At dawn the next day, Su Ming headed towards the great lake.

  "Hundreds of meters away from the Great Lake, the little elf's voice sounded in Su Ming's mind: 'Young Master, there is a battle in the shallow water area of the Great Lake ahead. Three innate martial artists are attacking a four-stage early-stage demon beast, Water Rhinoceros.'"

  "Fourth-order initial demon beast, that must be the powerful general of the great lake's winged snake, right? Or could it be three innate perfect warriors?" Su Ming asked in confusion.

  "One late, two mid, they should be trying to kill the Water Rhinoceros before the Great Winged Snake incident, as its skin is a top material for making soft armor, and has some immunity to water attribute attacks."

  "I'll go and join in the fun, see if I can get any unexpected gains." Su Ming laughed slyly and headed towards the big lake, while the unicorn once again showed his weak nature, staying hundreds of meters away from the lake and refusing to move an inch.

  When Su Ming saw the three congenital and a water buffalo fighting, he stopped his body and hid in a lush forest of trees, secretly watching.

  On land, a late-stage Innate could easily kill an early fourth-order demonic beast, but in the water, it was somewhat troublesome. As a result, three Innates were unable to kill the Water Rhinoceros for a short period of time and only managed to injure it repeatedly.

  The shallow waters of the great lake had already been dyed red with blood, and when Su Ming saw the light red lake water scattering everywhere, he had a bad feeling that if this continued, it would soon attract the existence of the Great Winged Snake, at which point all three of them would be dead.

  When he found out that the three were congenital warriors of the Moon Tooth tribe, Su Ming's mind changed and he decided to make them his target, as long as he killed the three, the strength of the Moon Tooth tribe would be greatly weakened.

  Su Ming's left hand shook, a cold light flashed, and a dagger appeared in his hand. After locking onto one of the mid-term Heaven Masters, he infused the spiritual power containing gold and ice properties into the dagger. With a swing of his left hand, the dagger shot out like a venomous snake towards the waist of the mid-term Heaven Master.

  "Ah"

  So the mid-term innate martial artist was so focused on restraining the Water Rhinoceros that he didn't notice the dagger flying towards him from behind. When the dagger pierced his waist, a layer of frost formed on his body, greatly slowing down his movements. The severe pain in his waist soon distracted him, causing him to be knocked flying by the Water Rhinoceros's head-on collision.

  Watching the innate flying backwards, Su Ming aimed the prepared Xuan Iron Arrow at that innate warrior, shooting an arrow. Su Ming's body moved, transforming into a gust of wind and leaving the original location.

  "Congratulations, young master, on completing the level-up quest. Your level has increased by one, you are now a first-level Blood Spirit Realm cultivator. Keep up the good work!"

  The little elf's voice made Su Ming let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the sneak attack was successful; otherwise, this adventure would have been for nothing.

  The other two were fully focused on fighting the Water Rhinoceros, completely unaware that their companion had been stealthily killed by Su Ming. The two of them only thought about quickly killing the Water Rhinoceros and leaving the lake, they did not want to provoke the Great Winged Snake, an existence that even Heavenly Spirit Warriors dared not to mess with.

  Although one less person, the pressure is reduced, but the already injured water rhinoceros still can't withstand the attack of two innate crazy people. After being hit by two innate late-stage warriors in a row, it let out a desperate roar and slowly fell to the ground.

  "Drag its body away quickly." Wu Da shouted and went towards the water buffalo corpse, at this time the huge water buffalo slowly sank into the water.

  Two men, one holding the rhino's horn and the other holding its hind leg, rushed towards the shore at their fastest speed. At this time, the lake surface churned up waves dozens of meters long, rushing towards the two warriors. The two warriors were still over a hundred meters away from the shore, but in their eyes, this distance seemed like tens of kilometers, and they wished they had two more legs to run with.

  "Master, a giant winged snake has appeared, be careful." The little spirit warned Su Ming after detecting the presence of the winged snake.

  At this time, Su Ming's eyes were tightly fixed on the lake, he was deeply afraid that the winged snake would suddenly appear and swallow the two warriors directly, in which case his mission objective would be gone.

  When the two warriors were about to reach the shore, a half-meter-thick serpent emerged from the water surface. After identifying its target, it struck at the two warriors with lightning speed. The huge snake's mouth was aimed at the two Xiantian warriors, who were so frightened that they dropped the Water Rhinoceros corpse and ran forward quickly.

  But the giant winged snake's speed far exceeded that of the two men, and in an instant it rushed to their faces. Just as it was about to swallow the two warriors, a dark iron arrow shot into its teeth, and a layer of frost instantly attached to its terrifying huge mouth, but unfortunately disappeared in an instant.

  The water and wind dual-attribute Great Winged Snake was basically unaffected by Su Ming's ice attribute attack, but this arrow still gave the two warriors a slight delay.

  At this time, only one saw that the pre-heavenly and post-heavenly martial artist's body shape paused, and a golden light-emitting treasure sword appeared in his hand.

  "The golden fox deceives heaven and crosses the sea."

  A congenital late-stage warrior swung his sword horizontally, and a golden light flew out, transforming into a three-tailed golden fox that blocked the giant demon winged snake.
