Li Qing swept his long spear horizontally, continuously pouring mana from within his body into the shaft as the fire-attributed spirit patterns glowed and flowed.
Flames surged forth like colossal waves, directly engulfing the serpent-like mutated beast ahead. Scorching heat spread outward, and the entire mushroom forest became bright in an instant.
Sizzle~
Thick black smoke rose from the serpent-like mutated beast's body. Scorched by the intense heat, it twisted and struggled wildly, as though it had gone mad.
"Hiss-roar!"
Accompanied by shriek after shriek of agony, its life force steadily drained away.
Li Qing watched from the side, occasionally adding another Fireball Spell or two. Like this, the serpent-like mutated beast's struggles rapidly slowed, until it finally fell into complete deathly silence.
Still uneasy, Li Qing continued observing from not far away. In the end, he expended more of his spiritual power and hurled a succession of Fireball Spells at it.
Only after confirming that it showed no signs of life did he step closer to the serpent-like mutated beast, whose appearance was utterly revolting.
"Is this a mutated beast transformed by the Red Moon's influence? It is indeed bizarre and evil. Fortunately, flames can deal considerable damage to it."
As he spoke, Li Qing took out a broad-bladed hunting knife and began cutting apart the strange serpent.
Because it had been scorched by high temperatures, all the pustules on the mutated beast's body had dried up, and no fluids could be seen flowing out.
Yet during the cutting process, quite a bit of yellowish-white pus still flowed out. A single glance was enough to make anyone deeply uncomfortable.
Frowning, Li Qing immediately stopped cutting its body. As though he had sensed something, he used the broad-bladed hunting knife to split open each of the strange serpent's three heads.
