What a Treasure!

Yang Shan usually listens to music while exercising, and her voice is pretty good. She also went to karaoke quite a bit during college.

So Yang Shan has listened to quite a few songs.

It can barely be considered a "China Jukebox".

So, is that how the song goes?

Yang Shan vaguely felt that something was wrong, but couldn't immediately recall what it was.

"Wait! Su Yitang, stop singing and get to it!"

Su Yitang was singing her heart out, but the Scarlet Serpent couldn't stand it.

Su Yitang was still singing, but she sent a message to Yang Shan through the chat:

"Boss, give me a little more time."

"What kind of Dou Technique takes so long to Time Acceleration?"

The Scarlet Serpent had already attacked, and Yang Shan didn't have time to ask any questions. He drew his Thunderbolt Blade and went to meet it.

Yang Shan could not possibly fight the Scarlet Serpent head-on.

Even if he manages to parry, he'll still be the one who suffers!

Moreover, the Scarlet Serpent is only slightly slower than him, and he could easily be hit if he is not careful.

To be on the safe side, Yang Shan activated Thunder Spirit Flash, instantly bypassing the Scarlet Serpent and striking it at its vital spot! "Strike the snake at its vital spot," as the old saying goes.

But it really works.

The Scarlet Serpent immediately turned and engaged Yang Shan in battle.

Yang Shan did not seek personal glory and mainly used the "Tyrant Blade" technique to deal with the situation. The attack of the seven-layered blade technique was already quite good. Each strike on the Scarlet Serpent dealt more than 1,000 points of damage.

However, the scales of the Scarlet Serpent were indeed very sturdy, Yang Shan could only cut off about ten scales with each strike.

With the protection of its scales, even if you strike its vital spot, the damage will be limited, and it's difficult to trigger Weak Point Attack.

To speed up the kill, you need to scrape off enough scales from the Scarlet Serpent.

Without the protection of scales, the Thunderbolt Blade pierces straight into flesh, resulting in a significant increase in the amount of health lost.

But the Scarlet Serpent's counterattack was swift.

Especially the tail.

When not attacking, it is completely inconspicuous.

Once it attacks, it's so fast you can't even see it with the naked eye! Yang Shan was caught off guard and got hit by its tail.

The key is that the Scarlet Serpent, as Fire Attribute magical beast, possesses a unique "Scarlet Serpent Flame" within its Magic Core.

The Scarlet Serpent Flame can be easily activated by the Scarlet Serpent using its Demon Energy, and its attack power is greatly increased when combined with its tail whip.

Yang Shan's Dou Qi Armor was first struck by a tail, and then burned by the Scarlet Serpent Flame, causing its Vitality Shield to be reduced by more than half! This is one of the reasons why the first kill of the Fourth Order Thousand Beast King has not yet occurred at this stage!

The Fourth Order Thousand Beast King is indeed too powerful for players at the current stage.

Moreover, using a large number of troops would be difficult, because most Fourth-Order Magical Beast are intelligent and will flee if they sense something is wrong! The reason why the Scarlet Serpent is not fleeing is simply because Yang Shan is only Four-Star Dou Ling, and Su Yitang is only Two-Star Dou Ling, so the Scarlet Serpent does not feel much of a threat.

"Su Yitang, why are you still singing? Doesn't your throat hurt?"

Yang Shan had just finished complaining when Su Yitang sent him a message:

"Boss! Almost done, can you use Thunder Guiding Lock?"

Yang Shan: "Why does it feel like you're ordering me around? Who's the boss here?"

Despite his complaints, Yang Shan still seized the opportunity to unleash the "Thunder Guiding Lock".

Yang Shan's attack and defense stats were completely outclassed by the Scarlet Serpent.

But when it comes to the Dou Qi Intensity qi, Yang Shan is no slouch! The Scarlet Serpent hissed and tried to struggle, but the six purple lightning chains held it firmly in place.

Within two seconds, there's no escape! Su Yitang finally finished singing.

Without Su Yitang reminding him, Yang Shan immediately made his escape.

Fearing they might be too slow to escape, they even used "Thunder Spirit Flash"! The next instant, a fierce wind swept through the forest.

Su Yitang was surrounded by a strange, semi-transparent energy.

As Su Yitang clapped her hands on the guqin, strange energy began to stir.

Like ripples spreading across a clear pool.

The ripples spread at an extremely fast speed, but then converged halfway through.

The target was none other than the Scarlet Serpent!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

All that could be heard was the sound of the Scarlet Serpent's body constantly cracking open, with blood gushing from its wounds.

Yang Shan watched as the Scarlet Serpent's health plummeted from 50,000 points.

In just five breaths, it plummeted to less than 20,000 points!

You should know that the Scarlet Serpent's defense is over a thousand points!

Even with Yang Shan's seven-layered sword technique fully unleashed, hitting the Scarlet Serpent only dealt about a thousand points of damage.

With just one move, Su Yitang crippled the Scarlet Serpent.

Looking at the dense wounds on the Scarlet Serpent's body, most of the scales that originally protected its body were long gone.

You can inflict weak point damage by striking anywhere!

Moreover, apart from the Scarlet Serpent, Yang Shan didn't see Su Yitang's attacks affect anywhere else! What kind of Dou Technique is this?

The damage was several levels higher than his "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills"! In his previous life, he was at least Dou Emperor! He had also witnessed many Dou Zong battles.

But he'd never seen anything like it before! "Oh dear, I can't take it anymore."

Su Yitang collapsed to the ground as if she had just finished running a marathon:

"Boss, I can't go on anymore, I'll leave the rest to you."

Yang Shan: "."

What's wrong? You can only use one powerful move, right? Yang Shan shook his head.

In the end, we still had to rely on him to clean up the mess!

The Scarlet Serpent rolled incessantly on the ground.

Su Yitang's Dou Technique just now was really too painful! But because of this, the ferocity of the Scarlet Serpent was also fully aroused.

Although it was severely damaged, its Demon Energy was not greatly depleted.

At this moment, Demon Energy gathered in the snake's mouth.

As the Scarlet Serpent opened its terrifying mouth, the blazing Scarlet Serpent Flame transformed into fine needles.

Bloodline Secret Skill: Fire Refining Thousand Needles! The mouth of the Scarlet Serpent Scarlet Serpent to transform into a Gatling gun, spewing out a large number of fine needles with the characteristics of Armor Break and extremely lethal.

The target is Su Yitang, who is lying on the ground!

Each of these needles should have a lethality exceeding one thousand points.

There were over a thousand of these needles! Anyone at the Dou Ling level would be riddled with holes by this attack, no matter who they were! "Mommy, I'm going to die! Three stars! I'm going to drop back to Da Dou Shi!"

You won't die!

Yang Shan had long seen through the Scarlet Serpent's purpose, so he activated Thunder Spirit Flash first and came to Su Yitang's side. He picked Su Yitang up like a chick and ran away!

"The boss is so handsome! Thank you for saving my three stars!"

The Fire Refining Thousand Needles their mark, but the Fire Attribute energy contained within them began to become unstable, exploding one after another.

The Scarlet Serpent Flame spread.

Yang Shan's Thunder Spirit Flash had ended, so he could only hold Su Yitang Su Yitang his arms and use his back to shield her from the aftershocks of the flames.

Fortunately, Yang Shan's Dou Qi Armor still had some Dou Qi points left.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd lose a lot of health.

Su Yitang and Yang Shan were standing very close together, and for a moment she was too shy to speak, "The way the boss saved people was kind of handsome!"

But just then, Yang Shan saw the Scarlet Serpent turn around and try to escape! "Trying to run away?"

Yang Shan snorted coldly, released Su Yitang, and kicked her in the butt.

Su Yitang screamed, "Ah!"

Unfortunately, Yang Shan and Su Yitang were still within the aftermath of the explosion.

Su Yitang's condition is clearly not right now. If Yang Shan just leaves Su Yitang like this, he is worried that Su Yitang will not be able to handle it.

In this urgent situation, the only option was to kick Su Yitang further away.

Su Yitang's buttocks could also serve as a leverage point for Yang Shan.

Yes, it's incredibly bouncy! Yang Shan leaped eight zhang (approximately 33 meters) away.

A burst of purple lightning erupted from the Thunderbolt Blade! You think you can leave without leaving behind the Magic Core?

Thunder Guiding Lock! Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills!

Yang Shan's strike demonstrated his true skill level.

It struck the Scarlet Serpent hard at its vital spot.

Because the Scarlet Serpent had been blasted so badly by Su Yitang's mysterious Dou Technique that it barely had any scales left.

Yang Shan's strike was unimpeded.

The snake's body was cleaved in two! [Player killed the Scarlet Serpent (Fourth Order Thousand Beast King), kill contribution rate 32%, player gained 25600 experience points.]

[Ding! Global Announcement: Congratulations to player "Yang Shan" for achieving the first kill of the Fourth Order Thousand Beast King! Rewards: +5 Free Spiritual Root, +20 Meridians, +4 Comprehension, +4 Good Fortune!]

Yang Shan scratched his head.

Su Yitang only used one move from beginning to end, and she actually stole 68% of the kill contribution rate! She even leveled up directly!

Yang Shan is still more than 10,000 experience points away from becoming Five-Star Dou Ling.

Su Yitang entered the Two-Star Dou Ling with the experience points "given" by the parchment, and now she has broken through to the Three-Star Dou Ling, growing faster than a rabbit!

The Three Sects truly live up to their name; despite the butterfly effect already appearing, their development remains rapid.

Yang Shan crouched down and began collecting the drops of the Scarlet Serpent.

Seeing this, Su Yitang, who was still lying on the ground unable to move, shouted at the top of her lungs, "Boss! Boss! Ugh, boss, you have no conscience!"

Aren't you afraid she'll catch a cold if you leave such a delicate little girl lying on the ground?

"At least lend a hand!" "No, I have to go check what fell! That's all money!"

The thought of money gave Su Yitang a surge of energy, like parched farmland suddenly hit by a downpour.

She struggled for a long time, but finally managed to stand up.

Upon reaching Yang Shan's side and seeing what Yang Shan was holding, Su Yitang exclaimed dramatically:

"Wow! Boss, you're so lucky! Is it true that the more handsome a guy is, the luckier he is? I've never gotten four items from a monster in one go before!"

Yang Shan handed over a pair of snake fangs:

"Here you are."

Su Yitang blinked:

"Boss, what's this?"

Yang Shan: "Although you little money- Threading the Needle try your best to praise me whenever you have the chance, it makes me feel good. Consider this snake tooth as compensation for kicking you before."

Su Yitang instinctively covered her shapely buttocks.

She still harbored some resentment towards Yang Shan.

Where do you find people kicking girls in the butt?

It was one thing to kick, but it was incredibly strong! I still feel a bit of pain! Yang Shan: "These snake fangs can be used as auxiliary materials for top-grade equipment. They should sell for seventy or eighty thousand without much problem. You really don't want them?"

What grudge?

The boss is absolutely right!

There's a reason why the boss does everything!

Su Yitang cheered excitedly. "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, boss! Long live the boss!"

Su Yitang took the snake tooth, examined it carefully, and then put it into her Storage Ring.

Then he looked at the three remaining dropped items in Yang Shan's hand.

Yang Shan: "Want more? You're not satisfied?"

No!

Su Yitang's face turned a little red, as if she had misunderstood something.

"I was just curious about what it was again."

Su Yitang had already made arrangements with Yang Shan, Yang Shan would give her a perfect-grade Body Tempering Pill. Su Yitang would not participate in the first kill or the drop.

Getting a pair of snake fangs was already an unexpected bonus.

The other three items dropped are—

Scarlet Serpent Heart Blood Meat: The essence of the flesh and blood of the Fourth Order Thousand Beast King, the Scarlet Serpent. Consuming it can Marrow Cleansing, increasing Free Attribute by 30 points, Meridians by +5, and Fire Spirit Root by +3.

Scarlet Serpent Scale Hide: A Tier 4 Top-Grade Material, Used to Craft Superior-Grade Inner Armor!

The last item dropped was, of course, the Beast Flame that Yang Shan had been longing for.

[Scarlet Serpent Flame] (Tier 4 Beast Flame)

Attack Boost: 180 Alchemy Boost:

Grade 1 - 100%; Grade 2 - 100%; Grade 3 - 80%; Grade 4 - 40%; Grade 5 - 8%; Refinement Enhancement:

Standard - 100% Premium - 80% Refined - 40% Superior - 15% Required Dou Qi Intensity: 40 Origin Amount: 9000 Compared with the Azure Jade Python Flame that Yang Shan obtained before, the Scarlet Serpent Flame is slightly weaker in terms of both attack power and the amplification of alchemy and weapon crafting.

There's no way around it; the Azure Jade Python Flame is indeed the top-tier Beast Flame among fourth-order beast fires.

However, the Scarlet Serpent Flame is still decent; at least it still provides a good boost to fourth-grade pills.

You can just leave it as it is!

After collecting all the dropped items, Yang Shan asked:

"Su Yitang".

Su Yitang immediately stood at attention. "Yes, boss! What are your orders?"

Yang Shan purchased two cups of juice from the system store.

This juice can be refilled an unlimited number of times throughout the day, and you can even change the flavor! Yang Shan handed one of the glasses to Su Yitang: "Take a break, let's talk while we drink?"

Su Yitang: "Boss, you're too generous!"

Yang Shan: "You're telling me it's generous for a cup that's only one yuan? Next time you compliment someone, use some finesse instead of just flattering them."

Su Yitang: "Okay!"

Yang Shan and Su Yitang found a decent spot nearby and sat down on the ground. Su Yitang then began to tell her story.

The opportunity recorded in the parchment concerns Sonic Dou Skills with Wind Attribute.

A high-level Xuan-rank Wind Attribute cultivation technique with Golden Word Seal, called "Wind Scroll Profound Skill".

There is also a Dou Technique called "Wind Zenith Sound".

Grade: Earth Tier Low Grade! Seal: Purple! Yang Shan's eyelids twitched wildly after hearing the grade of "Wind Zenith Sound".

As for the cultivation techniques, Yang Shan did have techniques of the same level after all.

But Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, and with Purple Word Seal! This is definitely not something that will be obtained normally in the next version!

Su Yitang also gave a brief description of the wonderful uses of this Dou Technique.

It requires playing the zither and singing to continuously accumulate and compress Wind Attribute Dou Qi, thereby obtaining an extremely exaggerated burst of damage! Because this Dou Technique consumes a lot of energy, with Su Yitang's current Dou Ling level stats, she can only release it once.

Moreover, after release, one will enter a brief state of weakness.

However, the power of this Dou Technique increases continuously over time! Just now, Su Yitang activated "Wind Zenith Sound," and in the time it took to sing half a song, the power increase was basically 15 times the sum of her base attack, Dou Qi Intensity, and beast wind attack! If Su Yitang's level is higher and her base attack is stronger, it could even continue to stack up, reaching 20 times the damage! "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills" only has 7 times the damage!

Yang Shan could even foresee the future where he and Chao Bafang and others would charge into battle, and Su Yitang would sing half a song that sounded completely off, and then with a "Wind Zenith Sound", she would directly shatter the Dou Wang's Dou Qi Armor.

Then they picked up their weapons and unleashed another barrage of attacks.

Which Dou Wang could withstand this? This Su Yitang is truly a treasure!
