Devouring the Starry Sky: Cultivation Makes Me Stronger

The scattered Beast General-level monsters within three kilometers of the campsite had almost all been cleared out by them. They would not find any good prey anytime soon, so they might as well let everyone rest properly.

Luo Shen had originally planned to take a day off as well.

But when he saw that the proficiency of his Micro-level movement technique was nearly complete, he decided to grit his teeth and keep going.

Suddenly, movement came from a residential building in the distance. Luo Shen, who had long since developed a vigilant nature, swiftly hid himself before cautiously poking his head out to investigate.

He saw a gigantic python, as thick as a man's waist and roughly twenty meters long, coiled around a moss-covered vine.

Its body was covered in nearly parallel black stripes. The closer these stripes came to its heads, the thicker they became. At the very front of the python, it split into two triangular snake heads, each with a slight bulge on its forehead.

"Hiss! A Twin-headed Blackline Snake?"

He had thought that with his involvement, he would not encounter this mutated Twin-headed Blackline Snake.

Yet it had appeared right before his eyes so brazenly.

"Looks like you still can't escape the fate of being killed by the Fire Hammer Squad!" Watching the Twin-headed Blackline Snake rest quietly, Luo Shen did not hesitate to activate his 'summon teammates technique'!

He could not handle this thing alone.

Snake-type monsters were rare to begin with.

Not to mention the venomous Blackline Snake—this was a mutated, two-headed, High-level Beast General Level Twin-headed Blackline Snake that was about to grow horns, transform into a flood dragon, and enter the Lord Level!

The materials from an ordinary High-level Beast General Level Blackline Snake could sell for around 400 million.

This mutated Twin-headed Blackline Snake had two venom sacs, each worth twice as much as that of an ordinary Blackline Snake. In other words, it was worth four times as much as an unmutated Blackline Snake of the same level!

That was 1.6 billion!

More valuable than all the monsters they had worked so hard to kill over the past ten-plus days combined!

The stronger the monster, the more valuable it was!

If it were a Lord-level Twin-headed Blackline Snake, even merely a Beginner Lord Level one, its price would multiply several more times over!

Of course.

If it were Lord Level, Luo Shen and the others would not dare set their sights on it at all.

"This Twin-headed Blackline Snake is extremely dangerous. Especially after mutating, its venom has become even more terrifying. If you're bitten by its fangs, death is certain." Gao Feng said in a low voice, "And it has two heads, so it can attack enemies simultaneously."

It was truly valuable.

But it was also truly dangerous!

"I think we can do it." Luo Shen's voice came through the communications watch as he analyzed, "The captain and I can keep it occupied from the front, while Senior Brother looks for an opportunity to strike from the side. It's only a High-level Beast General Level monster; we're strong enough."

At that moment, he was still watching the Twin-headed Blackline Snake closely, lest someone else beat them to it.

"Let's do it!" Luo Feng gritted his teeth.

A-Shen was right. With the three of them working together, they had a good chance against a Twin-headed Blackline Snake!

"Fine, then we'll do it!" Seeing that the two young men in the squad had made up their minds, Gao Feng steeled himself as well. Warriors walked along the edge of a blade; how could they avoid danger?

"Brother Chen, please keep a close watch. Aim the sniper rifle and make sure no one tries to take advantage of us!"

Ordinary Warlords were not suited to interfere in a battle of this level.

"Don't worry. I'm ready at all times," Chen Gu said with a smile.

Wei Qing and Wei Tie beside him also patted their chests and promised, "If anything happens, we'll notify you immediately."

"In that case, Captain, Senior Brother, move quickly. I'm worried that delays will bring trouble."

Luo Shen urged.

Although the time this Twin-headed Blackline Snake appeared in the Original Work differed from when he had found it, it was still such a valuable target that their battle might attract the attention of other warrior squads.

Most importantly.

The Tiger Tooth Squad and that spoiled rich brat Li Wei should be active somewhere in the surrounding area at this time.

"Let's hope everything goes smoothly." Luo Shen took a deep breath.

Fortunately, with Luo Shen's addition, the squad's strength had greatly increased. Otherwise, Gao Feng and Luo Feng would not have made their decision so easily. The two moved quickly, arriving at Luo Shen's side in only a few minutes.

The three of them would be the main force in this battle.

Although Gao Feng was an Intermediate Warlord, his Twin Wind Hammers possessed astonishing power. Even against a High-level Beast General, he had the strength to fight. Luo Shen's movement technique and saber skills had both reached a considerable level, while his physical fitness had reached the Beginner Warlord Level, allowing him to harass it from the side.

As for Luo Feng.

His own strength was no weaker than Luo Shen's, and he was also a Mind Controller. He would be the key to victory or defeat in this battle!

The three main forces of the Fire Hammer Squad joined hands to challenge the Twin-headed Blackline Snake!

Boom!

Gao Feng held a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right. Seizing an opening created by Luo Shen, he smashed his hammer fiercely into the Twin-headed Blackline Snake's right head, leaving it seeing stars.

"Hisss—" The piercing shriek of the snake monster carried far into the distance.

Luo Shen used the movement technique Flowing Light, circling around the Twin-headed Blackline Snake and occasionally slashing out with his saber without warning.

Even though his strength was insufficient, and his saber could only tear tiny wounds into the Twin-headed Blackline Snake's scales, the condensed blade light penetrated through the scales and spread into its body.

The pain was very real!

The Twin-headed Blackline Snake let out an enraged hiss.

Bang! The rust-covered exercise and recreation equipment throughout the residential complex was smashed to pieces by the Twin-headed Blackline Snake's sweeping tail. Luo Feng held his shield and released his psychic power, shoving all the scrap metal aside.

The Twin-headed Blackline Snake was indeed immensely powerful, already quite close to Lord Level.

It was definitely one of the strongest monsters in the area!

Yet Luo Shen and the other two coordinated seamlessly, joining forces to suppress it completely.

They were simply too agile!

There was no need to mention Luo Feng, a Mind Controller.

Luo Shen's Micro-level movement technique had already reached Grand Perfection and was close to completion. He was only a step away from entering the Perfect Level. No matter how wildly the Twin-headed Blackline Snake attacked, it found that every strike ultimately brushed past Luo Shen by mere fractions of an inch.

As for Gao Feng, he truly was a living target.

But his strength was simply too tremendous.

Though he wielded only a one-handed hammer, every blow battered the Twin-headed Blackline Snake until its flesh split open. And whenever he faced real danger, Luo Feng's psychic power would assist and propel him, so his life was never truly at risk.

"Hisss~~" The Twin-headed Blackline Snake seemed to have gone mad. The icy eyes of its two massive heads sent chills down one's spine.

Blood streamed from one of its heads.

That injury had been inflicted by Gao Feng's iron hammer, though it was not fatal.

Still, the Twin-headed Blackline Snake was truly terrifying. Even among high-ranking Beast Generals, it belonged to the most fearsome batch. Compared to top-ranked monster species such as the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf and Fire Scale Three-tusked Boar, it was no less formidable.

"This one's tough!"

Gao Feng stared fixedly at the Twin-headed Blackline Snake, his shield-bearing left hand trembling slightly.

He had just taken one of the Twin-headed Blackline Snake's tail whips head-on. Even after the shield had weakened the terrifying force, his muscles still felt as though they had been torn apart.

Suppressing it was one thing, but they had yet to inflict any fatal damage on the Twin-headed Blackline Snake.

Luo Shen said nothing.

He had been monitoring the proficiency of his movement technique. It had already reached 9995/10000. He estimated that after successfully evading one or two more attacks, he would be able to enter the Perfect Level.

When fighting high-level monsters, every successful evasion increased proficiency by at least 3 to 5 points.

Luo Feng gripped his throwing knife.

If they wanted to kill this Twin-headed Blackline Snake, his throwing knife would be the deciding factor.

"Senior Brother, I'll create an opportunity for you in a moment," Luo Shen reminded him. Before Luo Feng could reply, the Twin-headed Blackline Snake, having caught its breath, charged again with a hiss.

Its target was Luo Shen.

Of the three, Luo Shen was the most irritating. He kept darting around its side like an annoying fly.

Smack!

A tail whip as swift as lightning slammed heavily into the ground. The thick flooring cracked apart, fractures spreading in every direction like a spiderweb. The force behind it was obvious.

If it struck Luo Shen, it would likely shatter his bones on the spot.

Yet Luo Shen, who had successfully evaded the blow, suddenly revealed a look of delight.

"Micro-level movement technique has reached the completed realm. Movement technique upgraded to Perfect Level!" As a mechanical reverberation sounded, his mind became utterly clear. A vast amount of evasion techniques flooded into his mind, while his detailed awareness of the surrounding terrain rose to a new level!

Perfect Level Movement Technique!

And not only that.

The third burst of hidden force, which he had previously been unable to comprehend, could now be unleashed without the slightest hindrance.

Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, Third Level!
