Looking at the head that flew high up in the air and the body that was still crazily spraying blood, Tie Ta was stunned. He couldn't believe that a first level magical beast could be killed so easily, because this green poisonous snake didn't require much effort at all.
Jianchen slowly pulled out the iron rod that was still stuck in the snake's body, and casually wiped the blood that was left on the tip of the iron rod on the surrounding weeds. In fact, the biggest contribution in killing this first level magical beast was Jianchen. If it wasn't for his lightning-fast sword that pierced the snake's body and gave Mao a huge wound, Tie Ta's axe wouldn't have been able to chop off the snake's head so easily.
Tie Ta took back his axe, and looked at the snake's body that had lost its head and was constantly twisting. He murmured, "Changyang Shōten, is this really a first level magical beast? Why is it so weak?"
Hearing this, Jianchen chuckled, "Actually, it's not that this magical beast is too weak, but the two of us together are too strong. And this first level magical beast is enough to bring a lot of trouble to some people who have just advanced to the Saint level."
Iron Tower chuckled as he wiped the blood off his axe. He then placed the axe on his shoulder and said with a silly smile, "If that's the case, then we can easily kill Class 1 Magic Beasts here."
Hearing this, Jian Chen seemed to have thought of something. He couldn't help but reveal a happy smile, "That's right. With our strength, even if we were to encounter a Class 1 Magical Beast alone, we would still be able to kill it, not to mention if we were to work together. It can be said that there are basically no Magical Beasts in the second area that can pose a threat to us. After all, the Magical Beasts here are all raised by the academy. Their purpose is to train the students' actual combat ability. It's impossible for there to be overly powerful Magical Beasts, unless …" Speaking to this point, Jian Chen paused as a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Tie Ta became excited when he heard Jian Chen's words. He said, "Unless what …"
"Unless we meet a group of magical beasts, but I don't know if there will be any here." With that, Jianchen's face gradually became serious. With their strength, they wouldn't have any trouble dealing with a single first level magical beast, but if they met a group, it would be hard to say.
Tie Ta frowned, and said uncertainly, "It shouldn't be possible. I've fought with beasts in the forest for a long time, and I've never met a group of beasts."
"That's not necessarily true. I've read many books about magical beasts in the library, and I've discovered that some magical beasts basically all live in groups. They have a very strong sense of unity, and they rarely move alone." As he spoke, Jian Chen arrived before the headless snake. Only now did he discover that the snake was actually six or seven meters long. Afterward, Jianchen stabbed his rod into the snake's weak point and removed a blood-soaked crystal.
On the Tian Yuan Continent, there were many different types of magical beasts, and their monster cores were all located in different places. Some were in their heads, some were in their chests, and some were in their stomachs. The monster cores of snake-type magical beasts were located at the seventh inch of their bodies. This was something that Jian Chen had already learned from books.
"Bang!" Tower swung the axe on his shoulder at a tree beside him, directly chopping the tree that was as thick as a water bucket in half. He yelled out heroically, "If we really encounter a group of magical beasts, I, Lord Tower, will definitely make sure they don't return alive."
Jian Chen picked up the monster core from the snake's body and wiped off the blood on the grass before tossing it to Tie Ta. He said, "Alright, stop howling. Although there are quite a few magical beasts that live in groups on the Tian Yuan Continent, who knows if we'll be able to come across them. After all, this isn't the Magical Beast Forest."
Tie Ta then took the monster core that Jianchen threw over, and asked doubtfully, "Why are you giving it to me?"
Jianchen smiled, "This snake was killed by you, so this monster core should be yours." Seeing that Tie Ta was about to refuse, Jianchen continued, "Don't refuse this monster core, just take it. After all, we still have at least three days. During this time, our harvest will be very rich, so we don't care about this monster core."
"Hehe, alright then. I'll take this monster core first. No matter which one of us kills the next magical beast, the monster core will be yours." Tie Ta was overjoyed as he held the monster core that still had some traces of blood on it. After all, this was the first monster core he had obtained from killing a magical beast.
Afterwards, the two of them continued on their way. Since he knew that Jianchen was extremely sensitive to danger, Tie Ta straightforwardly gave the task of being on guard to Jianchen. He, on the other hand, constantly swung his axe, clearing the path ahead. Although swinging such a heavy axe was extremely exhausting, it was like eating a normal meal to Tie Ta, who was born with great strength. It did not exhaust him at all. After all, not only was his strength frighteningly great, it was almost limitless. It was almost impossible for him to run out of strength.
Not long after the two of them started walking, Jianchen's ears twitched slightly, and his footsteps suddenly stopped. He immediately reached out and pulled Tie Ta, who was constantly chopping at the weeds in front of him, and made a silent gesture.
Tie Ta understood and stopped chopping at the weeds. He held the axe tightly with both hands and came to Jianchen's side, standing side by side with Jianchen. His eyes shone brightly as he vigilantly looked around.
The two of them breathed very lightly, and their expressions were full of vigilance. The difference was that Tie Ta's eyes were constantly looking around, while Jianchen closed his eyes slightly, using his perception to feel everything around him.
The weeds were overgrown, so it was very difficult to see anything with one's eyes. Even if there really was an unknown danger hidden here, it was probably not something that could be seen with one's eyes. As a result, Tie Ta did not discover anything even after looking around for quite some time.
Jianchen gently closed his eyes. His sensitive ears twitched from time to time, capturing all the sounds around him. At the same time, Jianchen's mind was also on high alert, using his powerful 'spirit' to sense everything around him.
At this moment, Jianchen could not help but reminisce about the battle between him and Dugu Qiubai in his previous life. In the end, he made a breakthrough right before his death, reaching the realm of wielding a sword with his spirit. At that time, his' spirit 'had become extremely powerful and could easily spread out, enveloping everything around him. Nothing within the range of his' spirit 'could escape his perception.
However, Jianchen felt regretful. Although his' spirit 'was extremely powerful after his reincarnation, he was unable to spread it out. Otherwise, this forest would not have been a problem for Jianchen at all. It would have been extremely easy for him to find the magical beasts hiding here.
Jianchen's' spirit 'was highly focused as he tried his best to sense everything around him. Slowly, his mind entered a special state. Although his' spirit 'did not spread out, at this moment, his' spirit 'seemed to have established a subtle connection with the various plants around him. It was as if they had merged into one. This feeling was very mysterious.
However, when Jianchen entered this state, his perception suddenly reached a new height. Finally, a faint breathing sound entered Jianchen's perception. This breathing was simply too subtle. Even if you were standing next to it, you would probably not be able to sense it.
Jianchen's tightly closed eyes opened in an instant. Immediately, his body flashed and disappeared from where he was standing. He quickly rushed to the side. On the way, Jianchen's body constantly twisted and adjusted, avoiding the weeds and branches that blocked his path.
In a short moment, Jianchen had already crossed a distance of ten meters. Then, he quickly stabbed the iron rod in his hand. Along the way, the iron rod silently pierced through a few leaves and a few weeds. With lightning speed, he stabbed towards a black shadow hidden in the weeds.
"Ao!"
A scream mixed with pain suddenly sounded. Then, a black shadow jumped out from the grass. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Jianchen.
This was a black panther, a full two meters long. At this moment, there was a finger-sized hole in the black panther's forehead. A torrent of blood continuously flowed out from the wound, slowly flowing down the black fur on its face. It looked even more ferocious.
Jianchen's gaze was as sharp as a sword. His indifferent face revealed a trace of a cold smile. Then, with a shake of his arm, he once again stabbed the iron rod in his hand at an inconceivable speed. The target was the black panther's throat. In the end, before the black panther could react, the tip of the iron rod had already pierced deeply into the black panther's throat. Coupled with the fact that the black panther's body was in a forward pouncing posture in midair, its cumbersome body was constantly falling down. In the end, the iron rod pierced through its throat and came out from its spine.
This time, the black panther did not even have the time to cry out before it died. It collapsed on the ground with its eyes wide open. It had died with remaining grievances.
Only at this moment did Tie Ta rush over from behind. When he saw the black panther lying on the ground with its throat pierced by the rusty iron rod, his eyes immediately widened. He was as shocked as he could be.
"Changyang Shōten, W- w- did you kill it?" Tie Ta asked with a trembling voice. Even though he had seen Jianchen's weapon pierce the black panther's throat with his own eyes, he still could not believe what he had just seen. This was because far too little time had passed. When Jianchen had rushed over, Tie Ta had followed as quickly as he could. However, by the time he arrived, a Class 1 Magical Beast had already died at Jianchen's hands. It had taken less than a breath, not even half a breath.
Killing a Class 1 Magical Beast in less than half a breath was naturally extremely easy for some experts. However, Tie Ta understood Jianchen's strength very well. He definitely had not become a Saint yet, and the weapon he used was only a rusty iron rod.
Jianchen stepped on the black panther's head and slowly pulled out the iron rod. He smiled carelessly and said, "That's right, I killed it. It was just a coincidence. It shouldn't have died so quickly, but it insisted on drilling into my weapon. As a result, it died before it could even cry out."
Tie Ta scratched the back of his head when he heard that. He stared at Jianchen's calm face in doubt and asked in disbelief, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Jianchen chuckled, "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?"
