“The Blood Python!”
Li Jiye quickly turned and flew back to the Unicorn almost instantly.
Once the demonic beast surfaced in front of him, its information immediately appeared in his mind.
The Tier 3 Blood Python was equivalent to a Tier 3 intermediate-level martial artist. Its corporeal body was exceptionally tenacious, and it could often extract the blood poison accumulated in the blood pool to attack its enemy. It was one of the most difficult Tier 3 demonic beasts to deal with.
“The Blood Ganoderma is the Blood Python’s Companion Item. Demonic beasts place great value on their companions. Back then, Adele had also been chased for quite some time because she robbed a Tier 4 demonic beast of its companion… If I want to walk away with the Blood Ganoderma today, I’ll have to fight to the death!”
When the Blood Python and the Unicorn backed away from each other, at this point, Li Jiye quickly chopped with the long knife in front of him as it burst out with turquoise light.
He didn’t hold back on his attacks at all. With Wave Decapitation activated, the glowing knife mixed with his strong Wind Element energy slashed across the python’s body.
But as the knife fell, Li Jiye could clearly hear the sound of metals scraping against each other.
The Blood Python’s skin was way too resilient!
Glancing at Li Jiye, the Unicorn raised its head again and exuded a glow from its five-colored horn. Its Tier 3 grandeur unexpectedly manifested itself at this moment.
“It seems like the battle between demonic beasts is far more dangerous than I thought…”
Thinking of this, Li Jiye immediately used Shadow Wind Steps again to circle the boundary of the blood pool.
At this time, the Blood Python’s attention was completely on Li Jiye. Taking this opportunity, the Unicorn launched its attack. The five-colored glow on its horn converged into a bright golden beam that shot straight towards the Blood Python.
Divine Piercing was an endowed skill of the Unicorns! And it was even more powerful than its Divine Blessing!
The golden light shot like a spear through the surface of the Blood Python’s skin. Despite its tough skin, the Blood Python still couldn’t resist the Tier 3 Unicorn’s attack and immediately fell back into the blood pool, in pain and struggling desperately.
“That’s amazing!”
Li Jiye exclaimed in astonishment at the sight of this. It seemed like the Unicorn had just developed this skill, and Li Jiye had yet to receive information about it.
The Unicorn swept its two front hooves again and seemed to be gathering its elemental energy to launch another attack.
However, the Blood Python had already recovered. It had only been hit by the Unicorn because its attention had been diverted by Li Jiye, the plant thief. But now, it endured the pain and immediately launched a counterattack.
The Blood Python opened its rapacious mouth and sprayed out a thick bloody mist in front of the Unicorn and Li Jiye. The blood mist made Li Jiye’s breathing uneasy, and he immediately realized that this was the toxin extracted from the blood pool.
But Li Jiye had this under control.
“Fatal Extraction!” The corner of Li Jiye’s mouth rose slightly, and in the next second, he held his palm upright. Just as he spoke, an invisible vortex immediately circulated in his palm.
At this moment, the bloody mist from the Blood Python was firmly inhaled by the cyclone in Li Jiye’s palm. After a few seconds, the Blood Python’s attack stopped, but Li Jiye had already absorbed all the blood poison within the mist. A crimson-blood-like crystal then appeared out of thin air on his palm.
Jovic’s Fatal Extraction was a B-level skill. Facing off against the Blood Python’s poison, Li Jiye managed to extract all the toxins and surprisingly handled it with ease.
“This skill doesn’t help much in actual battles, but if I encounter experts who use poison, I’ll definitely have the upper hand…”
Delighted, Li Jiye placed the crystal into his storage bag. The Blood Python looked a little stunned at this moment, confused as to why its blood poison mist had vanished into thin air. And Li Jiye definitely didn’t have the patience to explain.
With this slight change in pace, he instantaneously disappeared from his original spot, and at the same time, the elemental energy intensified in the air again. The Unicorn raised its horn and made a second Divine Piercing attack, accurately hitting the Blood Python’s abdomen, which was its weakest body part.
The golden arrow penetrated the scaly armor on its abdomen almost instantly, and dark red blood spewed out.
Upon seeing this, Li Jiye flipped the long knife in his hand. He knew that the Blood Python’s vitality was amazing, and it definitely wouldn’t die with a blow from the Unicorn.
Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity, Li Jiye summoned all the elemental energy in his body onto the long knife.
The knife in his hand shone slightly with a variety of colors, and in the next second, the power of several elements surged forward with Wave Decapitation.
The knife aura flew in the air, slashing directly across the Blood Python’s abdomen where its defense had already been broken.
With a loud thump in the middle of the wide swamp, the Blood Python’s body was cut in half, and both parts fell into the thick pool of blood.
“Phew… This battle was thrilling. If I hadn’t replicated the Fatal Extraction skill from Jovic that day, we would have been in deep trouble today… But I’ve obtained such a big gain, the Tier 3 Blood Ganoderma.”
When the Blood Python finally took its last breath, the Unicorn also seemed extremely relieved. It turned to look at Li Jiye with a pair of golden eyes, looking inexplicably grateful.
“Why are you looking at me like that? … Hmmm… Could it be that your previous injury was caused by the Blood Python?”
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was. As a Tier 3 demonic beast, it was rare for the Unicorn to suffer injuries. It must have come to this blood pool to obtain the Blood Ganoderma for itself that day but had been secretly ambushed by the Blood Python. That was the reason why it was so furious with the Blood Python now.
“Huh? You still have something to show me?”
Just as Li Jiye was thinking about this, he saw the Unicorn lower its head again and reach out to bite his sleeves.
He followed the Unicorn out of the swamp, and they traveled in the opposite direction for about half an hour. The ground underneath grew more and more vibrant, and lush flowers and weeds of various colors appeared everywhere.
The surrounding air seemed to be affecting Li Jiye’s Wind Element. He felt his body grow lighter and lighter, as if the elements in him were resonating with the outside world.
