Two-Headed Serpent

After taking good care of the spiritual plants in the mountain's belly, he then tended to the saplings on the mountainside, and also took care of the "Golden Sunflower" and "Red Mushroom" in the town lord's mansion at the foot of the mountain, gaining a total of 3.17 Druid experience points.

Xu Yunxin opened the system.

Looking at the 346 Origin Essences, he initially felt it was quite a lot. However, seeing that there were still many places where Origin Essences would be needed, he decided to hunt some more monsters to replenish his supply.

Calculating the time, there are still more than ten days until the end of October, and the "yellow sand lizards" in the due south direction have been hunted to near completion.

If you want to hunt more monsters, you can only go to the southeast or slightly south to hunt the familiar "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat" or "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent".

With Xiao Qing Tengyun as our mount, a round trip to the bamboo forest would take about six to seven days, leaving us with a two-day time difference.

It's worth the two-day trip!

With Uncle Fu and the two women from the Yue family in charge, things in Qingxi Town are unlikely to go wrong. One more person won't make a difference.

This is a time when we're pressed for time, so it doesn't matter if it's tough or tiring!

Xu Yunxin had just returned and hadn't even had a chance to sit down before calling Xiao Qing and Teng Yun to head to the bamboo forest in the southeast, slightly south.

Perhaps because this time they were going to catch "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat", Xiao Qing's speed was much faster than when he caught "Yellow Sand Lizard", and he arrived at the bamboo forest half a day earlier.

This time, Xu Yunxin deliberately veered south, aiming to avoid the area where he had caught the "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat" last time, so as to obtain more monster goods.

Located slightly to the south, the main type of monster here is the "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent".

The "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent" is a top-grade, highly venomous snake of the first rank. Adults of this snake are about two feet long and like to hide among bamboo leaves to ambush others.

Logically speaking, monsters like the "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent" are very difficult to catch. Snakes have special senses and can detect threats in advance, often avoiding them before the hunter even arrives.

However, Xu Yunxin and Xiaoqing are exceptions, because the mist that Xiaoqing uses to conceal herself is highly concealing, and the "Red-tailed Snake" cannot detect the danger in advance.

Moreover, Xiaoqing's ability to sense prey is even stronger than that of the "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent".

The "Red-tailed Roaring Serpents" hide among the bamboo leaves, waiting for their prey to come to them, unaware that they themselves have become the prey.

Not long after Xu Yunxin and Xiaoqing entered the bamboo forest, Xiaoqing discovered a "red-tailed snake" hiding under the dead leaves.

Xu Yunxin was initially worried that Xiaoqing would hesitate to kill him because they were both snakes.

As it turned out, Xiaoqing didn't consider these "Red-tailed Roaring Serpents" to be her own kind at all. She didn't hold back at all when she started biting them. She opened her mouth and sucked the "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent" in, swallowing its head and ending the battle.

Xu Yunxin didn't need to interfere at all during the entire process. He only needed to collect the remaining snake body and take away a white source of essence.

For the rest of the day, Xiao Qing displayed her prowess, eliminating more than twenty "Red-tailed Roaring Snakes" in just one afternoon.

In the end, Xiaoqing got too lazy to swallow the snake's head anymore. She only sucked out the venom glands from the head of the "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent" and spat out the rest.

Xu Yunxin followed Xiaoqing and collected snake corpses until his hands were sore. But in order to let Xiaoqing work hard, he thoughtfully prepared "Bamboo Scented Pig and Rat" as a snack for her. When Xiaoqing was tired, he gave her a [Skill: World Tree Blessing], which instantly restored her to her best condition and made her full of energy.

At night, the "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent" becomes more active, making it easier for Xiao Qing to catch them. Sometimes she can even catch two entangled together at once.

Originally, they were just trying to capture the "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent," but as they continued, the two of them kept moving outwards and eventually reached the edge of the bamboo forest.

By the time Xu Yunxin noticed, they were already able to see the natural scenery outside through the sparse bamboo.

Outside the bamboo grove is a large expanse of water.

Some bones, rotting flesh, and several bloated corpses floated on the water.

Thin wisps of mist floated on the water, making this vast expanse of water appear eerie and terrifying.

Xu Yunxin could tell at a glance that this was not a safe place, and immediately gave Xiaoqing the order to turn around and go back.

But they spent the whole night catching "Red-tailed Roaring Serpents" in this bamboo forest, making quite a commotion. Now that they've broken into this place, how could the monsters under the water sit idly by?

Just as the man and the snake turned around, they heard a loud splash of water.

Suddenly, a large splash erupted from the calm water behind them, and a giant black and yellow two-headed snake sprang out of the water. Its body was raised high, and its two ferocious snake heads were wide open, letting out a deafening and terrifying roar towards Xu Yunxin and Xiaoqing!

"Hiss! Hiss!"

As the roar was heard, Xiao Qing stopped in place, its ruby-like snake eyes suddenly turned fierce. With a sudden inhale, the mist swirling around it was swallowed into its belly. With a shake of its head and tail, its entire body grew larger out of thin air, transforming into a giant green snake, which turned around to confront the two-headed giant snake!

Xu Yunxin, whose mind was connected to Xiaoqing's, immediately sensed that Xiaoqing was filled with bloodlust and was about to fight the two-headed monster snake in the swamp!

While Xu Yunxin tried his best to soothe Xiaoqing's emotions through telepathic connection, he also observed the surrounding environment.

The two-headed serpent remained in the swamp, its tongue flicking, sharp teeth protruding from its mouth, and glandular fluid splattering everywhere, constantly hissing and provoking Xiaoqing.

The fierce light in Xiaoqing's eyes grew stronger and stronger. She was about to be provoked by the two-headed monster snake and set off into the marsh.

Xu Yunxin tried his best to calm Xiaoqing down, stroking its body repeatedly and giving it commands: "Xiaoqing, don't go into the water, back away, lure it ashore to fight!"

Bound by the contract, Xiaoqing finally suppressed her rage and quickly retreated.

Seeing Xiaoqing fly backward, the two-headed serpent's eyes flashed with suspicion. After hesitating for a moment, seemingly unwilling to let Xiaoqing go, it actually slid across the water and chased after her into the bamboo forest.

Xu Yunxin lay on Xiaoqing's back, and the two snakes had only darted a few hundred feet when the two-headed monster snake caught up.

This two-headed serpent was even faster than Xiao Qing!

With a gentle flick of her body, Xiaoqing tossed Xu Yunxin off her back and quickly coiled up, raising her head high to face the two-headed monster snake that was chasing after her!

The moment the two-headed monster charged forward, the little green snake's head flashed like lightning, and it bit the two-headed monster's neck seven inches away with pinpoint accuracy!

"hiss!!!"

The two-headed serpent, which had been bitten, cried out in pain as its two enormous heads opened wide and simultaneously bit Xiaoqing's body from the left and right!

Although Xiaoqing's scales were very hard, the two giant mouths of the two-headed monster bit so hard that Xiaoqing's body twitched violently in pain, and its coiled body fell apart, but it still held on tightly to the two-headed monster's neck seven inches away and refused to let go.

The two-headed serpent was larger and wrapped its black and yellow body around Xiaoqing, trying to force her to let go.
