Female Cultivator's Undergarment, Fire Phoenix Belly-Cover

"Hiss!"

Like eating noodles, the small branches, dry leaves, and pebbles around were all sucked into its mouth along with masses of air by the green python. Its upright neck expanded several times, like a bellows. Then, the muscles all over the green python's body seemed to tighten simultaneously, and its snake head displayed an expression as if it were constipated and needed to urinate.

"Pfft!"

Then, its distended neck suddenly contracted to nearly half its original size. Like blowing out a candle, a blast of gang wind forcefully blew out, actually deflecting the fireball that was hurtling towards it.

"Why is my luck so terrible!"

Wei Suo had truly run into a tough opponent this time.

The Unicorn Thunder Viper, a Level 4 demonic beast, could emit gang wind by rapidly inhaling and then tightening its neck muscles to compress air. Simultaneously, the horn on its head could unleash fork-shaped lightning, with an attack power roughly equivalent to the ordinary lightning-elemental spells cast by cultivators at the Fourth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm. Most crucially, if Wei Suo remembered correctly, this Unicorn Thunder Viper was a mid-tier Level 4 demonic beast.

Beyond Level 4, the abilities of demonic beasts differed by multiples for each level. Low-tier Level 4 demonic beasts couldn't yet spit out Demonic Cores to attack, but mid-tier Level 4 and above demonic beasts could. The power of these Demonic Core attacks was equivalent to the formidable spells of cultivators at the Fifth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm.

Man proposes, but heaven disposes. The reason cultivators often perished in this era was that the outside world was not static. No one expected that the Ten Thousand Snake Valley would now contain a mid-tier Level 4 Unicorn Thunder Viper.

"Crack! Crack!"

The casting speed of this mid-tier Level 4 demonic beast was also unimaginable. Just as Wei Suo's fireball was being deflected, a pale yellow lightning bolt, split into three prongs at its tip, was unleashed from the horn on the Unicorn Thunder Viper's head and struck the protective light shield around Wei Suo. It caused Wei Suo to stagger forward, nearly falling face-first into the dirt.

"What kind of situation is this? If you want to fight me, at least wait until I reach the Fifth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm. You, a dignified mid-tier Level 4 demonic beast, and with so many subordinates, do you have any shame?" What made Wei Suo want to cry without tears was that he could tell at a glance that the Unicorn Thunder Viper could advance several zhang like a small mountain with just a twist of its body. Even if Wei Suo used a Wind Evasion Talisman, he estimated his speed wouldn't match the Unicorn Thunder Viper's, and he'd be caught.

Seeing that the Unicorn Thunder Viper had absolutely no intention of showing any shame and was treating him like an appetizer, Wei Suo was truly helpless. He grabbed a handful of Fireball Talismans.

With a "boom," a basket-sized fireball was thrown backhand by Wei Suo towards the pursuing Unicorn Thunder Viper. However, the Unicorn Thunder Viper's reaction was worthy of a Level 4 demonic beast. With another inhale and exhale, it blew the fireball slightly off course again. It grazed its side and exploded behind it.

"I'll electrify you!"

But at this moment, Wei Suo suddenly stopped. A Golden Snake Thunder Shuttle, which he had refined to a high degree of proficiency, struck the Unicorn Thunder Viper's neck precisely. The Unicorn Thunder Viper's just-tightened neck immediately spasmed violently, as if it had suddenly choked while drinking water.

"Ice Talisman!"

Seeing that his Golden Snake Thunder Shuttle was effective even against this lightning-elemental demonic beast, a mass of extremely cold white mist was immediately unleashed from Wei Suo's hand, enveloping the Unicorn Thunder Viper's head.

Because he had found the Second-Order Ice Talisman very useful last time, Wei Suo had bought two more to carry with him. However, the Unicorn Thunder Viper's body was simply too massive. As soon as the cold white mist from the Second-Order Ice Talisman enveloped it, only a layer of ice formed on its head, making it look like it was carrying an ice ball, which was quite comical.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Seeing that even the Second-Order Ice Talisman didn't seem to cause much damage to this Unicorn Thunder Viper, Wei Suo's hair stood on end. He desperately unleashed the Fireball Talismans in his hand, and in that instant, he didn't even know how many Fireball Talismans he had fired. The area within a four to five zhang radius around the Unicorn Thunder Viper had become a sea of fire.

"Damn it! Demonic Core!"

Under the barrage of Fireball Talismans, a scorched smell emanated from the Unicorn Thunder Viper's body. Yet, even so, this Unicorn Thunder Viper was not killed. Instead, it was completely enraged. With a surge of green energy, a pale yellow Demonic Core, about the size of a pigeon's egg, was suddenly spat out from its deep throat and slammed into the golden light shield around Wei Suo.

With a "crack" and a bang, the Demonic Core looked ordinary before it hit the golden light shield, but upon contact, it erupted with hundreds of pale yellow lightning bolts, each about the thickness of a thumb.

Wei Suo felt an irresistible force surge towards him. He only had time to let out a startled cry before his entire body was sent flying backward by the impact of the Demonic Core. And the golden light shield that enveloped him was actually shattered by a single blow.

The Demonic Core, having shattered the golden light shield, spun in the air and flew back into the mouth of the enraged, roaring Unicorn Thunder Viper as it charged out of the fire field. It was about to be spat out again by the Unicorn Thunder Viper.

Seeing that Wei Suo definitely couldn't withstand the Unicorn Thunder Viper's next attack, suddenly, a protective light shield naturally activated from the Spirit Heaven Jade Pendant on his body. As Wei Suo rolled to the ground, another Wei Suo suddenly appeared not far beside him.

The Unicorn Thunder Viper, in pain from being burned all over, froze. It couldn't understand how another standing Wei Suo had suddenly appeared.

"Ice Talisman!"

Wei Suo, having narrowly escaped death, took advantage of the Unicorn Thunder Viper's momentary daze and unleashed the last Second-Order Ice Talisman at the fastest speed of his life. The Unicorn Thunder Viper's head was immediately encased in another mass of solid ice.

"Bang!"

The Demonic Core spat out from the Unicorn Thunder Viper's mouth shattered the solid ice encasing its head. But at the same time, with a boom, a fireball unleashed by Wei Suo directly hit the Unicorn Thunder Viper's gaping maw.

The two bell-like eyes of this mid-tier Level 4 demonic beast immediately bulged out, displaying an expression as if it had swallowed a red-hot iron ball and couldn't spit it out.

"Die already!"

Wei Suo didn't care about anything else. He just desperately unleashed Fireball Talismans, with masses of fireballs continuously smashing down on the Unicorn Thunder Viper's head.

The Unicorn Thunder Viper seemed to want to forcefully spit out its Demonic Core again, but it was overwhelmed by the continuous Fireball Talismans, with lightning flashing erratically on its horn.

"Puff!"

After firing an unknown number of fireballs in succession, the Unicorn Thunder Viper's entire gaping maw and throat were completely scorched. Its upright upper half finally fell to the ground with a weak thud.

Wei Suo didn't dare to stop. He continued to throw seven or eight more Fireball Talismans until the bucket-thick body of the Unicorn Thunder Viper no longer twitched when the fireballs hit it. Wei Suo, soaked in cold sweat, finally sat down on the ground with trembling legs and soft hands.

After panting heavily for a few breaths and downing a bottle of Qi Replenishing Powder, Wei Suo finally came to his senses.

The situation just now was too perilous. None of the protective Talismans on his body seemed capable of blocking the impact of the Unicorn Thunder Viper's Demonic Core. If it weren't for the Illusionary Light Talisman he had refined, which had momentarily stunned the not-so-intelligent Unicorn Thunder Viper, he might have been reduced to ashes by the Demonic Core by now.

"I actually killed a mid-tier Level 4 demonic beast by myself?"

Looking at the corpse of the Unicorn Thunder Viper, which was several times larger than himself, Wei Suo still found it hard to believe.

The surroundings were now empty, with some unextinguished flames still emitting wisps of green smoke. The spectacle of him firing so many Fireball Talismans was too astonishing. Several Iron Wire Snakes had been hit by the stray fireballs and killed on the ground. Those Winged Scale Snakes had also all been startled away.

Wei Suo searched the surroundings and found the corpses of six Iron Wire Snakes and three Winged Scale Snakes.

After collecting the corpses of these six Iron Wire Snakes and three Winged Scale Snakes with his Treasure Pouch, Wei Suo walked over to the Unicorn Thunder Viper's corpse. Although this mid-tier Level 4 demonic beast was completely dead, a powerful and wild aura still made Wei Suo feel a bit apprehensive.

"What is this?"

Since there was still space in his Treasure Pouch, and Wei Suo was afraid another powerful demonic beast might appear, he had originally planned to immediately pack up the corpse of the Unicorn Thunder Viper that had nearly cost him his life and leave. But now, as he approached, Wei Suo saw a faint red light emanating from a scorched and split wound on the Unicorn Thunder Viper's abdomen. It clearly didn't look like its Demonic Core.

Wei Suo hesitated for a moment, but his curiosity got the better of him. He unleashed several Azure Water Blades in succession, widening the wound along the slit.

The red light intensified, as if something was stuck inside its belly. With his experience in handling demonic beast corpses, Wei Suo, without any disgust, reached in and pulled. The red-glowing object was pulled out by Wei Suo.

"This..."

What made Wei Suo freeze in astonishment was that what was emitting a soft red glow was actually a wadded-up, gossamer-thin... female cultivator's undergarment!

"Could this be something some unlucky cultivator bought to give to their old flame?"

This was the first thought that flashed through Wei Suo's dumbfounded mind. Because there were still remnants of black leather on the outside of this wadded-up female cultivator's undergarment, it was clear that this undergarment hadn't been worn yet. It had been swallowed by the Unicorn Thunder Viper while it was inside a cultivator's leather pouch.

"Fire Phoenix Belly-Cover?!"

As soon as he unfolded the undergarment, Wei Suo couldn't help but stare again.

The entire gossamer-thin female cultivator's undergarment was clearly in the style of a belly-cover popular among female cultivators. And on this sexy belly-cover, there were patterns of fire phoenixes formed by even more fiery-red runes.

Fire Phoenix Belly-Cover! This sexy female cultivator's undergarment was a Fire Phoenix Belly-Cover that, after being imbued with True Essence, could unleash a fire phoenix that would entwine itself around the wearer, providing a defense level of second-order, capable of withstanding the ordinary spell attacks of a first-level Circulation Realm cultivator!
