Chapter 81 - The Tragic Ending Of Lu Yun
Just as Lu Yun was about to dig up the Blood Scorching Flower, something suddenly appeared out of thin air and attacked him. Its movement was very fast to the point he was caught off guard and had no time to react.
"Ah!!!"
Lu Yun screamed in pain as he grabbed his neck tightly.
Qin Yi was dumbfounded witnessing this scene.
When he saw who the attacker was, he was slightly taken back; It turned out that the attacker was a small snake— No, to be more precise, a mini Purple Monarch Python the size of a child's hand.
This little guy is probably the descendant of that Purple Monarch Python, who was fighting outside the cave.
Apparently, it was hiding somewhere near the Blood Scorching Flower, and Lu Yun failed to detect it. The instant it got the chance, it instantly attacked its enemy.
What a clever snake.
Luckily it was Lu Yun who was bitten, not him.
However, even if Qin Yi were bitten, it wouldn't be a big deal since he had the [Neutralizer] power of the PowerBox.
The Purple Monarch Python's had a deadly poison as its main weapon, once touched, it could slowly asphyxiate your breath. If you don't take the antidote right away, you'll be dead in a matter of a few breaths.
Unfortunately, this guy doesn't seem to have prepared his antidote before coming here.
Or perhaps, Lin Feng and the fellow did not prepare an antidote for this person because they never expected that the Purple Monarch Python had descendants guarding its lair.
The mini Purple Monarch Python was hissing viciously toward Lu Yun, who was still struggling with poison in the ground. It coiled itself around Blood Scorching Flower, like it was guarding its family's treasure.
Qin Yi had no intention of helping that fellow. After all, he was his enemy.
Even if that fellow dies, he will just watch it from a distance.
Who told him to be so greedy and careless despite knowing that he is in the enemy's territory.
If it were Qin Yi, he would check the surrounding area first before he decided to touch the objective. After all, who knows, there might be a trap waiting for him to jump in on the initiative.
Even though those Rank 1 Magical Beasts had low intelligence, they were extremely obsessive about what they considered theirs. They definitely wouldn't leave their treasures with an empty means.
They are sly at such particular moments. On top of that, the Magical Beast that Lu Yun is dealing with is a snake.
This is why it is so important to read a lot of books before you go out of the sect. Otherwise, you will die without knowing the cause.
Qin Yi sighed as he shook his head in lament.
After quite a while, Lu Yun finally stopped struggling as he was out of breath due to the poison he suffered.
Yep, he's dead.
Qin Yi did not feel sorry for this guy. Even though Lu Yun was his acquaintance, he was on the enemy side.
For someone who had tried to harm him, he wouldn't lend his hand even if that person begged him for help.
The instant Lu Yun died, the Luminous Flower in his hand fell to the ground and withered instantly.
The light went out and the cave turned dark again. Qin Yi had to drink water containing a certain amount of [Vision] to provide a vision.
As soon as he drank it, he immediately gained the ability to see in the dark.
He silently walked towards the Blood Scorching Flower which was being wrapped around the mini Purple Monarch Python. Due to the effects of the Hidden Night Cloak and darkness, his arrival was not detected at all by it.
When Qin Yi was five meters away from it, he gathered his Qi around his right hand and utilized the Blood Wood Extension. Several branches sprouted from his arm at the next second as they rapidly extended and shot at the mini Purple Monarch Python.
This surprise attack took the mini Purple Monarch Python by surprise. Before it had time to react, its body was already entangled by the branches and rendered it immobile despite several struggles.
After the mini Purple Monarch Python was restrained, Qin Yi took out a Luminous Flower from the system storage and immediately activated it using his Qi.
"It's useless! The more you struggle, the more aggressively the branches will absorb your blood. Well, unless you really want to be a dry snake."
Qin Yi, who appeared before the little snake, said lightly.
"Hiss!"
Although it didn't understand what Qin Yi said, it was furious at the arrival of another intruder.
It had just managed to get rid of one intruder, yet another intruder arrived. Doesn't that mean that if it gets rid of this intruder, another one will come again?
They are so endless; this snake was tired!
"Oh, you seem to understand what I'm saying." Qin Yi said in surprise and said again, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you as long as you don't do anything funny."
"Hiss!"
After that, Qin Yi ignored the little snake and extracted everything within his extraction range including this little snake, then carefully dug out the Blood Scorching Flower and stored it in his space ring.
He looked at Lu Yun's corpse for a second and decided to loot his Hidden Night Cloak and storage bag.
After that, he clasped his palms together and muttered, "Rest in peace, be a smart and kind man in your next life."
When all was said and done, he immediately left this cave. However, before he left, he didn't forget to free the little snake from his branches.
He didn't know if the battle out there was over or still going on. Nevertheless, he couldn't stay in this cave any longer for fear they would eventually notice something was happening in the cave.
When Qin Yi went outside, the fight between the Purple Monarch Python and Lin Feng and the others had almost reached a climax.
From what he saw here, the Purple Monarch Python was at a disadvantage. Its entire body was almost covered in wounds as its strength gradually weakened. These were signs that it was going to lose.
Qin Yi frowned upon seeing this.
Even though he had expected this outcome, he didn't like it. To be honest, he wished that Lin Feng and company would suffer in this fight. Unfortunately, they seemed to have made well preparations before fighting this Purple Monarch Python.
Although the Purple Monarch Python is stronger than their overall strength, it ended up being powerless under their compact cooperation.
Suddenly a bold idea popped up in Qin Yi's head.
He moved to a place some distance away from the range of this battle and hid in a tree as he took out his Quick Wind Bow and he injected the power of [Berserk] and [Heal] at the tip of the arrow.
Qin Yi smirked as drawn the bowstring.
"Good luck, you all!"
Shoosh!
As the arrow was released, it immediately shot through the air at lightning speed. Shortly after that, he heard the Purple Monarch Python's shrill scream from afar.
After confirming that his shot hit the target, Qin Yi didn't dare to stay here any longer as he immediately left this battle, which seemed to have just entered the second round.

Meanwhile, on the other hand...
As soon as Lin Feng and his group saw an arrow that suddenly appeared and shot the Purple Monarch Python, they immediately put up their guard.
"Be careful, there's someone else here!"
Lin Feng shouted at his companions as he constantly looked in the direction where the arrow had come from. His comrades were also immediately reflexed to look in that direction.
"Who's there? Fellow cultivator, would you mind to show yourself?"
Unfortunately, no one answered Lin Feng's question; after all, the shooter was gone before they knew it.
"Fellow Cultivator, we are disciples of the Sleeping Dragon Sect, and we have been fighting this Magical Beast for over an hour. In short, it was our quest from the start, and we would be grateful if fellow Cultivator did not interfere with our hunt. Of course, we will treat fellow Cultivator to a drink later as compensation."
Lin Feng continued to speak, but still, no one responded to his speech which made him a little embarrassed.
While they were busy searching for the shooter, they didn't notice that the wounds all over the Purple Monarch Python were starting to heal at a rapid pace. Not only that, as soon as it healed completely, its eyes which were originally green, had turned red instantly.
"Liu Tao, dodge!"
The young man with a spear suddenly shouted at one of his teammates.
Liu Tao's eyes widened as he was caught off guard. Sadly, it was too late.
After the Purple Monarch Python entered the berserk state, it immediately opened its large mouth as it suddenly spewed out a large cloud of purple poisonous smoke sparking with flames and spurted it toward Liu Tao.
