C17 Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake!

Qin Feng moved forward with deliberate care, channeling the Primordial True Dragon Technique as he went. After journeying for half a day, he had covered over thirty miles into the heart of the uncultivated forest. The further he delved, the colder the aura around him grew, evoking a deep-seated sense of danger.

Though it was the middle of the day, the forest was shrouded in an unusual gloom.

Qin Feng knew that Dragon Qi was present within the forest, but its exact location still eluded him and required a thorough search.

Suddenly, the sound of flowing water reached his ears—crisp and robust, echoing like the roar of a mighty tiger.

"There's got to be a waterfall close by!"

Muttering to himself, Qin Feng hastened in the direction of the sound.

After a brisk ten-minute walk, he arrived at the waterfall. He looked up to see the water cascading down, winding like a majestic dragon.

Parched, Qin Feng eagerly drank the sweet, cool water, which quickly rejuvenated his spirit.

He washed his face, then paused to take in his surroundings. The area was serene and beautiful, with vibrant plants growing in profusion.

Yet, something felt off.

Observing the landscape, Qin Feng suddenly became alert, his brow creasing with concern.

The place seemed too serene, its beauty masking an underlying strangeness.

"It's too quiet here."

The silence only served to heighten Qin Feng's vigilance, as a cold dread began to rise from the pit of his stomach.

A disturbing noise came from behind him, suggesting that something sinister had set its sights on him.

"Phantom Steps!"

Without a second thought, Qin Feng channeled his zhenqi and dodged to the side.

Just in time, a blast of green light, accompanied by a noxious stench and the sound of air tearing, hit the rock where he had been sitting. The stone was quickly eaten away, thick green smoke billowing from the newly-formed pit.

Such a terrifying poison!

When the venomous assault missed its mark, a shadow surged from behind the waterfall and into Qin Feng's view.

A monstrous giant snake, more than ten feet long with gleaming green scales, confronted him. It hissed, its crimson tongue flickering from its wide-open jaws, sending shivers down his spine.

"Vicious Beast!"

Qin Feng's complexion turned ashen as he pivoted and dashed away.

The predator in pursuit was none other than the Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake, a formidable First Order Vicious Beast. With its immense strength and deadly venom, even a single drop could prove fatal.

"Beast!"

Qin Feng's face paled, and without hesitation, he turned and fled. The creature in pursuit was the Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake, a first-tier Vicious Beast. Its strength was immense, its body laced with deadly venom—one drop was enough to kill.

The Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake's eyes gleamed with malevolence as it spat venom in relentless pursuit, clearly not willing to let Qin Feng off easily.

Venom showered around Qin Feng, corroding everything it touched, sending up billowing plumes of green smoke.

In an instant, a large tree, weakened by the venom, snapped in half, cutting off Qin Feng's path.

The snake, seizing its chance, lunged with its jaws wide open, aiming for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was cornered, with nowhere to run!

A fierce light flashed in his eyes as his zhenqi surged within him like a tidal wave. He stomped his right foot down, splitting the earth, and swung a mighty punch.

Groundbreaking Fist!

With Qin Feng's punch, the air exploded with a thunderous roar, stirring up a heavy, swirling current of immense force.

"To strike a snake, you aim for its heart!"

Using his Phantom Steps to evade the deadly blow, Qin Feng found the Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake's heart and smashed down with all his might.

The beast howled in agony as Qin Feng's punch broke through its scales and plunged deep, eliciting a harrowing scream.

But Qin Feng's victory was fleeting. The snake's tail whipped around with savage force, striking him squarely.

The blow felt like a collision with a mountain; Qin Feng coughed up blood and was flung through the air.

He tore through a series of trees, flying over thirty meters before crashing to the ground with a heavy thud.

Gasping for air, Qin Feng lay there, a wry smile spreading across his bloodied face.
