"Poisonfire Snake! Young Master, be careful! It's a third-tier intermediate Magical Beast, a Poisonfire Snake! These snakes usually live near underground magma and are filled with intense fire poison. If bitten, the flames will burn through your heart and kill you!"
Li Chenfeng's heart skipped a beat as well. After all, such a creature had suddenly burst out of the grass, and he could not help feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Third-tier intermediate! Roughly equivalent to a four-star to six-star Da Dou Shi. It might even rival Xiong Ba and the Sword Demon at their peaks. Though it's somewhat beyond expectations, it's not too outrageous. With my current strength, I should be able to handle it."
After thinking it over, Li Chenfeng decided to handle this one alone.
Although the Poisonfire Snake was not renowned for its speed, its attacks were extremely fast, and Poisonfire Snakes were especially outstanding in that regard. Li Chenfeng therefore intended to strike first.
With a flick of his hand, he sent out a Meridian-Severing Sword Qi to draw its attention. Then his footwork shifted, and his body instantly appeared on the Poisonfire Snake's other side. A longsword faintly glimmering with frost slashed straight toward the snake's brilliantly colored head.
Although Li Chenfeng was fast enough, the Poisonfire Snake's reactions were equally swift. With a slight tilt of its head, it evaded Li Chenfeng's attack.
Yet the Poisonfire Snake did not counterattack Li Chenfeng. Instead, it seized the moment when he could not react in time and charged directly past him.
"Not good, this thing is trying to escape!"
Li Chenfeng made his judgment in an instant.
Yet he felt somewhat puzzled...
The Poisonfire Snake was considered one of the most aggressive Magical Beasts in the Magic Beast Mountains. Upon encountering humans, it would usually attack immediately.
