Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131: Dost Thou Hear Human Speech?
Tang Yichen turned his head, looking at the person who spoke.
Not far away stood a girl with disheveled hair, her face covered in many wounds, her body full of scars, making it impossible to see what she really looked like.
Seeing Tang Yichen look at her, the girl spoke, "That snake, I’ve been fighting it for a while, so, can I collect its points later?"
Tang Yichen clicked his tongue at her words, "No need to wait, let’s settle it now. Since it’s the snake you’ve set your sights on, I’ll let you have at it."
With that, Tang Yichen immediately stepped aside.
After all, Tang Yichen was a Fourth-Order Ancient Martial Artist, and with the fragrance pouch Gu Zhiqi had temporarily made for him, the giant snake was afraid of the aura emanating from Tang Yichen and didn’t dare attack him immediately.
But the same couldn’t be said for the woman.
Not to mention, she didn’t have Ancient Martial Arts to back her up, and with her body covered in bloodstains, she was an enticing target for the giant snake.
Therefore, as soon as Tang Yichen stepped aside, the giant snake roared and lunged at the woman with its mouth wide open.
The woman screamed and ran straight behind Tang Yichen, "Help, help!"
Because of the woman’s actions, the giant snake also lunged at Tang Yichen with its mouth wide open.
"Damn!" Tang Yichen cursed under his breath, immediately mobilizing his vital energy to strike the giant snake.
The giant snake, sensing danger, cleverly evaded Tang Yichen’s shot of vital energy, swiped its tail, and lashed straight at Tang Yichen and the woman.
Tang Yichen stepped on the ground and flew upwards.
The woman couldn’t do that and was directly hit by the giant snake’s tail, heavily crashing to the ground, and then was wrapped by the snake’s tail.
Knowing it couldn’t beat Tang Yichen, the giant snake didn’t linger in battle. After wrapping the woman in its tail, it turned to leave.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen blocked its path and started fighting it again.
After a bout of fighting, Tang Yichen realized that the snake’s skin was too thick; even using his vital energy, he couldn’t seriously injure it.
It seemed Tang Yichen intended to continue the entanglement with the snake, while the woman being wrapped in its tail was about to lose consciousness.
Gu Zhiqi reached out, snapped a branch from a nearby tree, and tossed it to Tang Yichen, "Brother Chen, aim for its seven-inch spot."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen caught the branch and thrust it toward the snake’s seven-inch spot.
Having dealt with several types of snakes before, Tang Yichen was completely confident in targeting a snake’s seven-inch spot.
So, this thrust was fast, ruthless, and accurate, directly piercing the giant snake to death.
With the giant snake dead, the woman could finally escape its hold. She sat on the ground, fear still etched on her face as she glanced at the snake, then at Tang Yichen, taking deep breaths without speaking for a long time.
Tang Yichen was intently looking at the Jade Talisman in his hand, for having killed the snake, his points increased by twenty.
"Increased, increased, Gu Xiaoxi, the points increased again, this time by twenty." Tang Yichen immediately shared his joy with Gu Zhiqi.
As soon as Tang Yichen said this, Gu Zhiqi showed no reaction, but the woman sitting on the ground gasping for air was displeased.
"What are you doing? Didn’t we agree that I would kill the giant snake? Why did you kill it?"
If the giant snake had died at her hands, she would have at least gained twenty more points by now.
Tang Yichen: ?
Girl, something wrong with your head?
"I don’t care, since the giant snake is worth twenty points, you have to reimburse me twenty points." The woman said to Tang Yichen as if it were only right, "How about this, moving forward, you help me earn twenty points, and we’ll call it even."
Tang Yichen: ???
Can you hear yourself?
