Chapter 2322 - 1816: Spare Its Life!

First update, please subscribe and vote~~~~...

The Black Water Xuan Snake lost its inner core, the essence it had cultivated for hundreds of years vanished in an instant... causing its rank to plummet almost immediately!

Although it is still a spiritual beast, it is now a spiritual beast without an inner core, its strength is less than one-tenth of its prime... Basically, any spiritual beast with an inner core can bully it!

"Awoo~~~"

A series of cries, filled with endless sorrow!

At this moment, the Black Water Xuan Snake also seemed to have lost the desire to continue competing with Qin Fang, and no longer struggled... Just floated on the water surface, opening its enormous bloody mouth, quietly waiting.

Undoubtedly, it has now lost the courage to resist, waiting for Qin Fang to make the final decision!

Either Qin Fang pierces its heart with a sword, and the Black Water Xuan Snake will be instantly killed...

Without the support of the inner core essence, its body would not have the Gang Qi Shield for protection, the defense around its heart is very limited, unable to withstand the assault of Qin Fang's Flowing Shadow Divine Sword.

Or Qin Fang walks out from the mouth of the Black Water Xuan Snake, and it will not have any intention to attack...

When it had the inner core, it was not a match for Qin Fang, after a big ruckus, ending up like this also dealt a fatal blow to its poor intelligence, now that it has lost the inner core, it dares not make any inappropriate moves.

"Kill, or not kill?"

Feeling the intention of this Black Water Xuan Snake, Qin Fang himself was also a bit conflicted.

This Black Water Xuan Snake is a spiritual beast, even infinitely close to a Spiritual Beast King, killing it would immediately yield a considerable amount of experience points, and might even drop some other items.

Especially since this Black Water Xuan Snake is full of treasures, collecting these treasures and materials could make Qin Fang a small fortune...

However, Qin Fang had already taken the inner core from this Black Water Xuan Snake, causing it to lose its most precious possession, losing 80-90% of its strength, which was already the most severe punishment for it.

Moreover, even in its prime, the Black Water Xuan Snake was only comparable to a Great Grandmaster Level Expert, at most a Great Master Peak Level, the experience points might be decent, but still far from the Supreme Realm.

Qin Fang had previously wiped out eight thousand-year-old zombies, the experience points from which were calculated at the Supreme Realm level, which had made Qin Fang tremendously gain, now he looked down on these mere Great Grandmaster Level Expert experience points.

Also, the Black Water Xuan Snake had lost its inner core, its strength greatly reduced, and it's hard to say how many experience points are left, maybe even less than a grandmaster-level expert...

As for some materials from the Black Water Xuan Snake's body, Qin Fang is not very interested, having collected a lot from the Xuan Shui Python, he doesn't care about a mere Black Water Xuan Snake, moreover, Qin Fang obtained plenty of spirit crystals from the Treasure Repository and looks down on this snake's little collection.

"Forget it, I'll spare you!"

After thinking for a while, Qin Fang decided to abandon the idea of killing this Black Water Xuan Snake.

Even though this Black Water Xuan Snake is known for its cruelty and brutality, right now it is incredibly docile, and... these rare species with Desolate Bloodline are becoming fewer and fewer, perhaps the Xuan Shui Python was the only one on Earth, and this Black Water Xuan Snake might be too.

Qin Fang, though not a member of an animal protection association, does not want this kind of rare species to disappear...

Having made this decision, Qin Fang headed toward the giant mouth of the Black Water Xuan Snake, feeling its tension and fear as he passed by the heart area.

Ultimately, Qin Fang did not act, he walked directly out of the mouth of the Black Water Xuan Snake...

"Hope you know to take care of yourself..."

Just as Qin Fang had guessed, the Black Water Xuan Snake became exceedingly gentle after losing its inner core, even when Qin Fang was in close proximity, it had no intention of attacking him, instead, it looked at Qin Fang pityingly.

Qin Fang could only sigh lightly at this and utter these words.

"Awoo~~~"

The Black Water Xuan Snake seemed to understand Qin Fang's meaning, cautiously nodded, then wailed, and turned its massive body, swimming towards the depths of the Underground Dark River...

"Sigh~~"

In response, Qin Fang could only shake his head lightly, and then also pursued the direction where Song Yi and others left.

Having wasted quite a bit of time, if he didn't hurry up and catch up, he might even lose track of them...

Without the threat of any other Black Water Xuan Snake, Qin Fang's swimming speed was much faster, even world-class swimming athletes couldn't compare to him, this is the power of an inner strength expert.

On the water's surface, only a white water line could be seen... Qin Fang just had his head exposed, searching for Song Yi and the others' whereabouts. Meanwhile, the mini-map was fully opened; it's the most convenient way for finding people.

At this moment, a voice reached Qin Fang's ears.

"Young Master Qin..."

Upon seeing Qin Fang's figure, Song Yi and the others immediately shouted loudly, each face filled with excitement and enthusiasm, shouting while waving the clothes in their hands to indicate their location.

Only now did Qin Fang notice that Song Yi and the three were not far away, even just one or two hundred meters from where Qin Fang had just battled the Black Water Xuan Snake, extremely close... They even clearly saw the process of battling that Black Water Xuan Snake.

If Qin Fang hadn't acted quickly, the Black Water Xuan Snake might have already discovered Song Yi and the others in advance.

If mishandled, those three guys might have been killed and eaten by the Black Water Xuan Snake...

Although the final outcome would be the same, Qin Fang would be quite depressed since Song Yi and the three are the strongest combat power he can command, and losing them here would also cause him heartache!

Song Yi and the three were not in the water but in a recessed pit on the stone wall above, where the terrain is relatively concealed, but the view is excellent, clearly visible within a few hundred meters around.

So when Qin Fang just appeared, they immediately noticed him...

Moreover, the scene where the Black Water Xuan Snake was tidied by Qin Fang and obediently left was mostly seen by them, so they actively called out to Qin Fang...

Plop, plop~~~

Seeing Qin Fang, they naturally no longer needed to crouch above, and one after another jumped down from the height, all landing in the water and swimming towards Qin Fang.

"Didn't I tell you to run as far as you can?"

Seeing these three, who were relatively normal and not hurt, Qin Fang still somewhat annoyedly scolded.

"Hehe..."

But the three of them just giggled foolishly without explaining anything, which left Qin Fang rather speechless.

They didn't want to leave here as soon as possible, but their speed in the water certainly couldn't compare with the Black Water Xuan Snake, the king of the water. After struggling for a while, the Black Water Xuan Snake wiggled a few times and caught up with them...

When Qin Fang was dealing with the Black Water Xuan Snake, it was actually about to catch up with them, and with just a little more effort, it could swallow them all...

Facing such a terrifying opponent, although all three are Great Grandmaster Level experts, they didn't have much resistance...

Just at that moment, Qin Fang acted, letting them narrowly escape the disaster... They should have taken the opportunity to escape, but noticing the Black Water Xuan Snake's movements, they guessed Qin Fang might be in the Black Water Xuan Snake's belly.

Driven by curiosity, along with a bit of helplessness and trust in Qin Fang... Qin Fang had imposed a restriction on them, if Qin Fang couldn't escape, they wouldn't last long either!

Precisely due to such reasons, before the situation reached a dead end, they decided to give up running and chose to hide in a concealed place above, witnessing with their own eyes the fierce Black Water Xuan Snake turning into a tame little snake under Qin Fang's hand...

Qin Fang, of course, couldn't have known their thoughts of struggle, but no matter what, they had the heart to stay and take such risks to wait for him, which moved Qin Fang slightly...

"The Black Water Xuan Snake has left, we should leave too..."

Qin Fang didn't say much more. Since he didn't know how far the exit was, there was no point in them staying longer; it was better to leave quickly. He led the group to continue moving forward.

"Young Master Qin, well... should we still catch the Silver Scale Fish?"

Song Yi scratched his head, some doubts inquiring, as he had discovered the Silver Scale Fish's traces again...

"Catch! Why not catch?"

Qin Fang paused for a moment, then said through gritted teeth, "I refuse to believe it, there could be another Black Water Xuan Snake out here..."

Though the Black Water Xuan Snake lurked in this underground dark river, it rarely appeared, lured by the bloody scent from catching the Silver Scale Fish... it's unexpected to have such a beast here, there certainly wouldn't be a second one, right?

As they say, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers... similarly, this river shouldn't accommodate a second Black Water Xuan Snake either!

And with the Black Water Xuan Snake's dominance and ferocity, if there were a beast stronger than it, it would have left long ago; if weaker, it would have likely been killed by it... Hence, this long stretch of water should not have another beast!

Naturally, when Qin Fang and the others catch the Silver Scale Fish again, there shouldn't be any trouble...

Therefore, Qin Fang and the others continued swimming forward, but the Silver Scale Fish they encountered still fell victim to Qin Fang and became his spoils, lying quietly in Qin Fang's Props Box.
