Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, Iron Fan Prince, and Jing Wuhuan never dreamed that Ye Tianchen, the guy they referred to as the Fat Taoist, would successfully draw the Black Tiger Beast King’s hatred at the most critical moment. After pretending to be suppressed by the Treasure Seal spat out by the Black Tiger, Ye Tianchen kicked the Treasure Seal away with ease and then made a hasty escape while the Black Tiger was chasing Huo Xianer and the other three!

”Damn it, that Fat Taoist is so unscrupulous, he actually slipped away...” Pangu Yun said with a mournful expression, extremely depressed.

”Too hateful, if I see him next time, I’ll definitely give him a good beating!” Huo Xianer said through gritted teeth, seething with anger.

”This guy really did us in at the key moment!” Iron Fan Prince said coldly, equally displeased.

”You guys should stop talking about that Taoist, better think about how to deal with this Black Tiger first!” Jing Wuhuan said in a deep voice as he watched the Black Tiger charging at them with claws bared.

Ye Tianchen slipped away, transforming into a beam of light from another direction, brushing past with ”Divine Movement Skill” to the extreme. After dashing into a dense forest, he vanished without a trace, successfully carrying the crocodile’s hide and shaking off the Black Tiger Beast King’s pursuit, heading deeper into the ”Original Restricted Zone”.

”Sorry, let you four hold it off for a while, hey, it’s your fault for not listening when you agreed to drive away that Black Tiger, don’t blame me!” Ye Tianchen chuckled mischievously to himself.

At this time, Ye Tianchen rushed into a vast forest, filled with a sense of oppressive smog, startling him. What kind of place is this? It feels off, why outside the forest is clear and the air is nice, yet inside it’s filled with choking fumes?

”There’s a creepy feeling here, I must hurry and leave, otherwise it’s extremely dangerous!” Ye Tianchen thought to himself.

He slowly began to feel something increasingly off, knowing that in such an ”Original Restricted Zone,” despite the overwhelming dangers and incredible Demon Beasts, the living creatures in such a place are numerous, whether flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, they’re abundant. So why is there no sign of life in this smoggy forest? It’s truly odd, not even a bird’s chirp can be heard, which is indeed somewhat terrifying, feeling exceptionally strange!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen halted his steps, hearing a ”hiss, hiss...” sound from ahead, making his skin crawl and goosebumps rise, what kind of creature is making that sound?

Slap!

Strike first and gain the upper hand, delay and you’ll suffer the consequences. Ye Tianchen immediately struck out with his palm, knowing that in such a place, hidden killing intent is everywhere, not making the first move upon sensing it might land him in dire straits.

Thud!

What he didn’t expect was that after striking out, no creature appeared, yet the ”hissing” continued ceaselessly, causing Ye Tianchen to frown, what kind of being is this strong, could it be he’s caught in some Martial Arts Illusion Skill, or a curse?

”No... still underground...”

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but exclaim. At this moment, lines of silvery light appeared on the ground, and as these lights fully emerged, Ye Tianchen was greatly alarmed, for numerous silver snakes appeared on the ground, each only as long as an arm. Apart from their entire silver bodies, each had a small horn on their heads, also silver, emitting a faint silver light that Ye Tianchen could feel was the Essence Qi of the sun and moon flickering.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

Several silver snakes turned into silver rays, taking off from the ground, charging at Ye Tianchen. Shocked, Ye Tianchen quickly shielded himself with the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill,” yet he was still slammed backwards a considerable distance, feeling as if he might be pierced through.

”Each of these silver snakes is extraordinary, not only are they lightning-fast, but the silver horns on their heads are indestructible. With so many silver snakes cultivating here, no wonder no other life dares approach. If enough ants can bite an elephant to death, how much more so with so many powerful ants? No one else would dare to break in, I must fight my way out quickly!” Ye Tianchen rapidly assessed the situation.

Swish!

With his left hand carrying the crocodile skin and his right hand wielding the Taie Sword, Ye Tianchen was suddenly surrounded by a mass of Silver Snakes charging at him. At that moment, there were silver lights attacking from all directions. Ye Tianchen couldn’t afford to be concerned about everything; there were simply too many powerful Silver Snakes. If they all assaulted him at once, he would die here. He only had a chance to escape by charging forward in one breath to shake them off.

Pang!

Pang!

Pang!

Ye Tianchen swung the ”Taie Sword” repeatedly, and to his utter surprise, when the Silver Snakes collided with the ”Taie Sword,” there was no sign of them being slain. Instead, there was a sound like hitting metal, leaving him dumbfounded. How incredibly strong were these Silver Snakes’ physical bodies that they couldn’t be cut down?

”Damn it, I refuse to believe I can’t kill them!”

Ye Tianchen shouted, gripping the ”Taie Sword” tightly with his right hand. He unleashed the power of his Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm and infused a surge of Martial Saint Realm Martial Arts True Qi into the ”Taie Sword.” Just in time, a Silver Snake lunged at him, and he immediately slashed down with his sword.

Pffft!

The Silver Snake was cleaved in half, silver blood spurting out. Ye Tianchen momentarily paused, then was overjoyed. Just as he expected, these Silver Snakes had lived here for countless years, cultivating who knows how long, absorbing the essence energy of the sun and moon as essence qi, with immense refined energy stored in their blood and flesh. If one were to consume this snake meat, it might greatly enhance their own strength.

Upon this realization, Ye Tianchen didn’t waste any resource. Shaking off the crocodile skin from his shoulder with his left hand, he gripped the ”Taie Sword” tightly with his right, charged forward and continued to slay without sparing any of the Silver Snakes, catching all of them with the crocodile skin. At the thought of brewing a pot of essence-rich serpent stew, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but drool a little; he indeed had some foodie tendencies.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Ye Tianchen used the ”Taie Sword” to carve a path out of the woods, his body covered in dust. It must be said, these Silver Snakes were very formidable. Fortunately, they hadn’t been cultivated to a certain stage yet. If tens of or hundreds more years had passed, anyone who ventured into these woods would face great peril, perhaps even Supreme Strong could suffer losses. This martial arts world was indeed full of marvels, teeming with powerful creatures yet to be discovered.

It must be stated, these Silver Snakes were truly formidable. Since entering Linxian City, it was the first time Ye Tianchen was forced to use the combat power of his Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm. Not even when pursued by the Black Tiger Beast King had he used such power, proving that these Silver Snakes were not easily dealt with.

Of course, only someone like Ye Tianchen, with his formidable physical strength, could accomplish this. Carrying the mountain-like crocodile skin with his left hand and wielding the ”Taie Sword” with his right, he carved a path out by constantly slaying the Silver Snakes, catching them with the crocodile skin to prevent wasting any Blood and Flesh Treasure Medicine.

Ye Tianchen was relieved to find that after breaking out of the woods, the Silver Snakes that had pursued him did not follow. It seemed that was their cultivation area, and they wouldn’t leave the forest.

Ye Tianchen sprinted off, seeking a relatively safe place to process the giant crocodile skin and the essence-rich Silver Snake meat. Without pausing, he vanished in an instant!

Meanwhile, back in the forest filled with powerful Silver Snakes, after Ye Tianchen’s departure, all the Silver Snakes retreated into a massive cavern. Inside was an enormous Silver Snake, appearing aged with a human-like face. On its forehead was a silver horn, nearly turning white, containing a frightful power that was captivating.

”Who dared disturb me!” It was clear this massive Silver Snake was a Snake King, and it spoke harshly.

”It was a powerful Martial Artist who killed many of our kin,” replied a slightly larger snake in human speech.

”Remember his appearance and seek revenge in the future. I am near death, and all hope lies with my grandson. Once born, he will rule this world as the king of our Silver Snake tribe. Before I die, I will transfer all of my five hundred years of life essence to my grandson; he will then become the king of both our tribe and the entire Martial Arts World,” the Snake King declared forcefully.

”Yes!”

As the night deepened, Ye Tianchen did not move further. Despite his worries for Fisherman and Xiao Ling, he hadn’t heard any news of their capture until now. It seemed that those who entered the ”Original Restricted Zone” weren’t interested in finding them, focusing on seeking opportunities and searching for rare treasures and Divine Herbs instead. This was fortunate, as it meant Fisherman and Xiao Ling were relatively safe. Ye Tianchen found a cave, sealed himself in with a large rock, and began enjoying the serpent stew while figuring out how to refine the indestructible crocodile skin. (To be continued.
