After the Golden Serpent Monster died, the violent aura around him dissipated considerably, and he looked no different from an ordinary demon beast. Even the poisonous mist around him gradually faded and dissipated into the air.
Lin Yu cleaned up the corpse and continued walking forward. He was somewhat excited. He hadn't expected to have the combat power of the Golden Core stage in such a short time. If he could absorb and refine this poisonous mist, it would be of great benefit to his strength. He couldn't afford to waste such an opportunity!
Just as Lin Yu continued forward, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a branch. The bark of this branch was grayish-white, covered with a thick layer of moss, and hung with some bright red berries, which emitted an enticing fragrance under the moonlight.
This tree doesn't look very old, at least a hundred years old, but it bears a lot of fruit, and each one emits a strong medicinal fragrance that makes you feel like you're floating on air.
Upon seeing this unusual ancient tree, Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
"Could it be a king-grade medicinal herb?"
"The King of Herbs is a wonderful thing. If we could pick it and refine it into a pill, wouldn't its effects be greatly enhanced?"
"This medicinal herb is so beautiful, wouldn't it be such a waste to pick it like this? Let's wait until we have time to pick it later."
Lin Yu thought to himself. He knew that although this King of Herbs was precious, obtaining it would require a lot of luck.
Moreover, with his current strength, even if he obtained this king of herbs, it would be of no use; he might not even be able to save his life. After thinking for a while, he finally decided to give up for the time being and plan to pick it later.
After figuring it out, he continued walking, but this time he walked much faster and felt more relaxed.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Yu arrived at a canyon with a stream in front of him. The water was so clear that it reflected a person's figure.
Many green plants grow beside the stream, each bearing fruits of various sizes, glistening with dewdrops and emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
When Lin Yu saw this king of herbs, he was overjoyed and rushed forward, reaching out to grab it.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Lin Yu reached out, a dark shadow flashed across the stream, followed by a spray of extremely foul-smelling venom that splashed onto Lin Yu's body, causing him to feel intense itching all over, as if he were being bitten by a million ants.
Lin Yu quickly retreated, dodging the venom, and looked up at the stream.
Seven or eight dark shadows rose from the pool; they were the black snakes that had attacked Lin Yu earlier!
"Kid, didn't expect that, did you? Hahaha, these are the swarms of venomous snakes I keep in the stream, specifically for devouring their prey. And their venom is extremely potent. You'll just have to wait to slowly die!"
"This time, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
The Golden Serpent Monster stood by the pool, his face grim as he looked at his clothes, corroded by the venom sprayed by the snake. His lips trembled, clearly indicating his extreme anger.
"What a pity, such a beautiful medicinal herb was eaten by these black snakes."
Lin Yu shook his head and sighed, looking regretfully at the seven or eight black snakes in the stream. Those black snakes were the same seven or eight black snakes that had just attacked him.
Although Lin Yu failed to kill the Golden Serpent Monster, he severely injured him, which enraged the Golden Serpent Monster, who wished he could immediately tear Lin Yu to pieces and grind his bones to dust.
However, this place is indeed not suitable for the two of them to fight, and there is also a mysterious powerful figure here who can easily kill the Golden Serpent Monster.
Thinking of this, the Golden Serpent Old Monster suppressed his anger and said to Lin Yu, "Boy, I'll spare your life for now, but you'd better not trespass into Medicine King Valley, or I'll make you regret it!"
"Hmph! Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, feeling extremely disgusted with this Golden Serpent Monster.
"You're asking for it!"
Upon hearing Lin Yu dare to speak to him like that, the Golden Serpent Old Monster's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and his eyes flashed with icy killing intent.
" Swish swish..."
As soon as the Golden Serpent Old Monster finished speaking, several more dark shadows leaped out of the stream and rushed towards Lin Yu. This time, their speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Lin Yu, their sharp teeth gleaming with a chilling light, as they viciously bit at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's gaze was icy; he didn't even bother to look at them and threw a punch directly.
Bang!
Before a breath had passed, the heads of the black snakes exploded, splattering blood and staining a patch of stream water.
Seeing this, the Golden Snake Monster's expression changed again. He never expected Lin Yu to be so ruthless. In less than a few seconds, these seven or eight black snakes were dead!
"Boy, who exactly are you? Why have I never seen you before?" the Golden Snake Monster asked coldly, his heart filled with utter shock.
"Who I am is not important. I only want to know where this seed of the Medicine King came from," Lin Yu coldly, staring at the Golden Snake Monster.
"Hmph! You dare to know about my affairs?" the Golden Snake Monster sneered.
"Really? I'd like to try and see if I can find out."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward, clenched his right fist, and slammed it hard into the Golden Serpent Monster's chest.
The Golden Serpent Old Monster snorted coldly and suddenly leaped out. At the same time, he stretched out his right palm and slammed it hard at Lin Yu. Simultaneously, his nascent soul flew out and pounced fiercely at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled coldly, and with a sudden flick of his right hand, the Five Elements Thunder Qi surged from his fist, transforming into five giant thunder swords, which he controlled and blasted towards the Golden Serpent Old Monster.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The giant thunder sword collided with the Nascent Souls, producing a series of booming sounds. The lightning and the Nascent Souls collided and annihilated each other in mid-air, turning into wisps of lightning that disappeared.
Lin Yu suddenly exerted force with both arms, and the Thunder Giant Sword accelerated sharply, bombarding the Nascent Souls. In an instant, it burst forth with dazzling light. The Thunder Giant Sword continuously bombarded the Nascent Souls, shattering them one by one, turning them into countless pieces of flesh and energy that scattered with the wind.
A flicker of fear flashed deep in the Golden Serpent Old Monster's eyes. He hadn't expected Lin Yu's attack to be so swift, which made him afraid to fight head-on. He considered retreating, no longer daring to compete with Lin Yu for the King of Herbs.
However, just as he was about to turn and run away, a giant sword of thunder suddenly struck from behind, killing him instantly!
The Golden Serpent Monster's corpse fell into the stream and quickly disappeared, but Lin Yu saw the black sphere on his back.
"Great stuff!"
