Chapter 359: I thought it was a monster.
The Stone Vein Demon King is very confident now and is still going berserk. The fragrance it smelled earlier is irresistible to it, and the Stone Vein Demon King is still in a berserk state.
Its physical strength is comparable to that of a top-tier magic weapon. Moreover, it absorbed a large amount of earth vein essence, which made it the king of demon beasts. Not to mention that it is in a strengthened state. Now, in this mountain range, no human can fight against it!
It will kill anyone who comes near!
The Stone Vein Demon Emperor quickly rushed towards Gu Heng's direction.
Gu Heng was walking through the mountains when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and his expression changed slightly—another wild animal was coming!
He instinctively turned around and saw a huge creature reeking of fish roaming through the forest. Upon closer inspection, Gu Heng was almost startled.
It turned out to be a huge, gray python!
Inside its gaping maw, countless large venomous fangs gleamed with a chilling light. With its gaping maw open, it spat out a scarlet tongue, and the exposed skin was covered with hard bumps, making it look exceptionally ferocious.
Even more bizarrely, the python emitted an unpleasant stench, leading Gu Heng to guess that the thing must contain a deadly poison, and that even a little bit would be fatal.
not simple!
Could this be a monster?
Gu Heng suddenly tensed up because the python looked huge. Just by looking at it, Gu Heng knew that the python was almost as wide and long as him, and it was really scary to look at.
Logically speaking, even if a snake or python is very long, it shouldn't be this wide.
Although the many wild beasts Gu Heng killed along the way seemed quite different from the wild beasts he was used to...
No way.
Upon closer reflection, he realized that with his small arms and legs, he definitely couldn't outrun that giant snake. Besides, his archery skills were quite good. Snakes and pythons all have a vital spot, and although this snake looked big, if its vital spot was pierced directly, it would probably die on the spot.
Gu Heng immediately nocked two arrows on his bow and aimed them at the location of the giant serpent's heart.
Is it this human?
Although the Stone Vein Demon Emperor was still in a berserk state that was almost out of its mind, it was still a little confused.
This human appeared to be the one who had killed so many of its demonic subordinates, since those demons had all been killed by arrows, and all with a single, fatal shot. This human was also an archer, but…
He has no cultivation level!
How could a human with no cultivation level kill so many demons?
But since the Stone Vein Demon Emperor was going to kill all the humans in this mountain range anyway, he didn't care about anything else and just killed whoever he encountered.
then.
He watched as the two arrows shot toward his head and heart, one after the other.
The Stone Vein Demon Emperor sneered inwardly.
Hmph, it absorbed so much of the earth's essence that even a Mahayana cultivator would have to fight with all their might to inflict serious injuries on it.
How could two mere, broken arrows possibly be enough to—
With two barely audible piercing sounds, the Stone Vein Demon Emperor suddenly felt all the power in his body being drained away.
Instead, a chill spread immediately.
"How...how could..."
The Stone Vein Demon Emperor felt the arrow that pierced his heart and the arrow that pierced his brain through his mouth.
why?
The power contained in these two arrows was only clearly perceived by the Stone Vein Demon Emperor at the moment of contact.
But it was too late by then.
The person in front of me isn't lacking in cultivation; rather, their cultivation is far too high!
But he hid it so well!
The Stone Vein Demon Emperor's body collapsed to the ground, still clinging to a faint breath. But this was merely the last bit of stubbornness it displayed, for it simply couldn't accept that it had died so mindlessly.
Gu Heng walked over, still covering his nose, because the smell of this snake was too fishy and foul, even worse than the wild boar from before.
"As expected, it's just an ordinary wild beast."
He nodded, somewhat relieved. Two arrows were all it took; it couldn't possibly be a demonic beast. If it really were, ordinary arrows wouldn't have been able to kill it. In that case, Gu Heng wouldn't have needed to think twice; he would have just used the temporary trial voucher.
Ordinary wild beast?
He actually called himself an ordinary wild beast, the kind of mindless, useless animal?!
Gu Heng's words instantly killed the Stone Vein Demon Emperor, who was still hanging on by a thread.
He was so angry he died.
"...Your meat should taste better, right?"
Gu Heng thought for a moment. Although the snake smelled bad, weren't all wild animals like that? He would only know if it was cleaned. Besides, snakes and pythons at least had some highly nutritious parts, which was completely different from pigs.
No matter what, such a large python must have eaten something to be so nourishing. Gu Heng really didn't intend to leave it to rot here; he had to at least extract the best parts.
So, Gu Heng took out a rope from his system inventory, tied the snake up, and dragged it away.
Fortunately, the snake looked big, but it wasn't heavy.
After walking for another half hour, Gu Heng finally saw a clear mountain stream. He took out his knife and began to dissect, skin, and remove the internal organs without any hesitation.
The snake meat smells quite good after the skin is removed, and there are no venom glands; it's just that the snake skin is too smelly.
Gu Heng casually cut off a few pieces of snake meat and then removed the snake gall.
Then, the rest is left for nature to enjoy at its own pace.
