Saving Liu Qianqian: The Search for the Green Poison Python

Once the vines expired, the students with the wind-type ability and the life-type ability were eliminated early and teleported out of the examination grounds.

The three remaining students, who had Metal-Type Ability, Wood-Type Ability, and beastification abilities, were all dumbfounded.

Their team had never lost since it was formed. They had even killed dozens of Advanced Tenth Tier monsters.

Yet after exchanging blows with the person before them, they had lost two of their own in just five seconds.

Qin Hao did not stop. He rushed at the metal-type ability examinee with Lightning Fist.

Only five seconds had passed, so the wood-type ability examinee's skill was still on cooldown. He could only watch as the beastification ability examinee rushed to block Qin Hao.

Qin Hao's fist struck the tiger.

Since Qin Hao's ability was legendary rank, the tiger was sent flying, taking the metal-type ability examinee with him.

Qin Hao then pulled out his dagger and raced toward the wood-type ability examinee.

With a pfft, the wood-type ability examinee was eliminated as well.

How could the two remaining examinees not realize that they had truly kicked an iron plate this time?

They hurried to flee.

But the cooldowns on Qin Hao's Time Slow and Time Acceleration had ended. He hurriedly used Time Slow on the two of them, then cast Time Acceleration on himself.

Crack, crack!

Two sounds rang out as their throats were slit.

And so, all five were eliminated. Only thirty seconds—half a minute—had passed since the fight began.

Qin Hao had not even used skills like Ice Seal, Ice Cone, Spatial Slash, Fireball Art, or Shadow Kill.

Qin Hao's original plan had been to use only the lightning-type ability's Lightning Fist, but he discovered that it was all but impossible.

That was why he had used the Spatial Type ability's Spatial Teleportation, as well as the time-type ability's Time Acceleration and Time Slow.

After all, Spatial Ability and time abilities could not be detected at all by anyone below the Martial Artist level.

That meant that as long as the examinees he had just eliminated did not think about it carefully, they would assume they had made mistakes and that Qin Hao had killed them using Lightning Fist alone.

"Sigh, I hope those five aren't too smart. Otherwise, my spatial ability will probably be exposed."

With that, Qin Hao returned to the cabin and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Qin Hao finished breakfast and went out to hunt advanced monsters.

When he came to a wild fruit tree, he found Liu Qianqian unconscious from poisoning.

"This is... Qianqian."

Qin Hao glanced at the wild fruit nearby and immediately understood what had happened.

The wild fruit was highly poisonous. It was called belladonna and looked somewhat like black nightshade.

"Little girl, I don't think you can manage without me. If you're not getting robbed, you're eating poisonous fruit and getting poisoned."

After taking Liu Qianqian back to the cabin, Qin Hao went out to look for monsters again.

This time, Qin Hao was looking specifically for a Green Poison Python, and it had to be an advanced monster.

Only an advanced Green Poison Python could guarantee a complete cure, especially since Liu Qianqian had already been unconscious for an entire night.

"Little girl, before I knew it, I'd already done so much for you. You'd have no excuse not to pledge yourself to me!"

Qin Hao went to the center of the forest and searched for the entire morning without finding a Green Poison Python.

Instead, he killed a great many Great Strength Pigs, Stone-Spike Bears, Lightning Leopards, and Golden Blade Tigers.

Those monsters were relatively common and easy to find.

But snake-type monsters were not so easy to come across.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Hao would have headed back to the cabin at this time, made himself a sumptuous lunch, taken a nap after eating, and then refined the monster cores of the monsters he had hunted that morning.

But to find a Green Poison Python that could cure the poison, Qin Hao could only search frantically everywhere.

Another full day passed before Qin Hao finally found a Green Poison Python.

It was even a top-tier Advanced Tenth Tier monster.

Poison-type monsters like this were the hardest to deal with, because one careless moment could leave him poisoned.

Qin Hao first concealed himself in the shadows and slipped unnoticed into the Green Poison Python's shadow. Then he quickly cast Ice Seal, followed by Ice Cone.

He then slashed at its vital spot with his dagger.

To move faster, Qin Hao saw that Ice Seal was about to end and hurriedly cast Time Slow.

Next, he cast Time Acceleration on himself and slashed the Green Poison Python's vital spot.

Just like that, the Green Poison Python died.

The fight had taken only about five seconds from start to finish.

He removed the snake's gallbladder and its monster core.

Qin Hao hurried back toward the cabin.

Just as Qin Hao was about to conceal himself in the shadows, a team of ten happened to arrive.

"Stop! Hand over the monster cores you have!"

Qin Hao turned around and saw that a full ten people had arrived.

"We just heard fighting. I didn't expect you to be able to kill a Green Poison Python on your own."

One of them spoke.

"Judging by the size of this Green Poison Python, it should be an Advanced Tenth Tier monster."

Another analyzed.

"Hand them over, and we can let you leave. Otherwise, your journey ends here."

The examinee leading them threatened him.

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although there were ten of them, he could still kill them all if he played every trump card he had. But he could not expose himself.

So Qin Hao smiled at them. "Hey, you want to rob me of my monster cores? You've got the wrong person."

With that, Qin Hao vanished from the spot in an instant, activating his dark-type superpower and hiding in the shadows.

"Damn it! This brat actually has a dark-type superpower. He got away!"

Just then, two members of the team suddenly screamed.

Without anyone noticing, Qin Hao had slipped into the shadow of the weakest examinee on the team. He then struck and killed him, along with the person closest to him.

By the time the others reacted, Qin Hao had hidden himself in the shadows and fled the area.

"Damn it! Don't let me run into you again!"

The lead examinee stamped his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Back in the cabin, Qin Hao said regretfully, "It's just a shame I couldn't expose my strength. Otherwise, with so many of them, they probably had quite a few monster cores!"

He went over to Liu Qianqian and checked on her. He found that she had been poisoned rather badly, but fortunately, the Green Poison Python he had hunted was advanced tenth tier. It should have been enough to cure her.

He took out the Green Poison Python's gallbladder and dripped its juices into Liu Qianqian's mouth.

After thirty minutes, Liu Qianqian finally woke up.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough. Qin Hao, it's you again..."

"Girl, cut the nonsense and hurry up and refine this monster core. Otherwise, your poisoning will only get worse."

"I..."

Before she could finish, Qin Hao tossed the Green Poison Python's monster core to Liu Qianqian, then left the cabin to look for ingredients.

He had not eaten that morning, and he was very hungry now.

Looking at Qin Hao's departing figure, Liu Qianqian suddenly felt something she could not put into words.

It was a very comfortable, warm, and strange feeling.
