Just as Jianchen's Light Wind Sword was halfway through its stab, a golden, vine-like object shot out from the water towards Jianchen.
When Jianchen's Light Wind Sword collided with the golden vine-like object, Jianchen's falling posture came to an abrupt halt. His entire body was suspended in the air while the tip of the Light Wind Sword accurately struck the head of the golden vine-like object.
This scene lasted for two breaths of time. Suddenly, from the forest beside the stream, another golden vine shot out towards Jianchen at an extremely fast speed.
Jianchen's expression didn't change. Using the Light Wind Sword as a support point, his entire right arm suddenly exerted force and his body immediately leapt into the air, landing firmly on the side of the stream. As soon as he landed on the side of the stream, Jianchen immediately put on his clothes.
After putting on his clothes, Jianchen raised his head to look at the golden vine that had attacked him. He saw that this golden vine was actually a snake that was only as thick as a wrist. Its entire body was golden in color, and on its body, there were several silvery-white lines that extended from the head to the tail. The body of the golden snake was extremely long. Just the part that was exposed to the air was at least five meters long. But when Jianchen noticed the silvery-white lines on the golden snake's body, his expression froze for a moment. Then, as if he had thought of something, his expression greatly changed and he couldn't help but cry out, "Silver Striped Golden Snake!"
Silver Striped Golden Snake. This was something that Jianchen had read about in the academy's library. The Silver Striped Golden Snake was an extremely rare species of snake. It was known as the emperor of all snakes. Even in the entire Tian Yuan Continent, the number of Silver Striped Golden Snakes rarely reached three digits.
The Silver Striped Golden Snake's value didn't lie in its rarity, but in its body. Whether it was its meat or its blood, they were all extremely valuable. This was especially true for the venom that it contained. In the Tian Yuan Continent, it was a type of venom that was priceless.
This was because if this venom was refined, it could even kill a peak Heaven Saint Master. Furthermore, if one wanted to remove this venom, there was no other way other than using the blood essence of the Silver Striped Golden Snake. Once infected by the venom of the Silver Striped Golden Snake, even a Radiant Saint Master would be helpless. Although Radiant Saint Qi had miraculous healing properties and could easily remove many other types of venom, the Silver Striped Golden Snake's venom could only be temporarily suppressed.
Furthermore, the Silver Striped Golden Snake's body was completely different from other snakes. The Silver Striped Golden Snake's body was extremely long, but very thin. It was said that some Silver Striped Golden Snakes that had reached the fifth rank of Magical Beasts had bodies that were over a hundred meters long, but their thickness was less than a foot long.
A Class 6 Silver Striped Golden Snake could freely control the size of its body. At the very least, it could shrink its body to a meter or two.
Class 6 Golden-striped Silver Snakes were extremely powerful as well. It was rumored that they could fly in the air and burrow into the ground. Their extremely potent venom was so potent that even Heaven Saint Masters feared them, not daring to touch them so easily.
It was recorded in the book that a hundred years ago, in the Sacred Empire, a Rank Six Silver Striped Golden Snake slaughtered a Royal City with a population of over ten million people in less than the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. Not a single person was left alive in the entire Royal City. Everyone was poisoned to death, and even their corpses were completely corroded by the poison. The only thing left behind was a foul stench of blood that spilled over the entire city.
For this matter, the Holy Emperor's Empire had sent out over ten Heaven Saint Masters to kill the Silver Striped Golden Snake. However, the battle had only lasted for half a day. Out of the ten Heaven Saint Masters, seven had died. The remaining ones were either heavily injured or poisoned. Not long after the poisoned Heaven Saint Masters had returned, they had all died.
This matter had even alarmed the Saint Rulers of the Holy Emperor's Empire. In the end, the Saint Ruler had personally taken action and engaged in an earth-shaking battle with the Silver Striped Golden Snake. Only then had the Silver Striped Golden Snake been repelled. However, it had only been repelled and not killed.
From this, it could be seen just how powerful the Silver Striped Golden Snake was.
Recalling the information he had read about the Silver Striped Golden Snake in the Kargath Academy's library, Jianchen's gaze was filled with shock and disbelief as he studied the tiny golden snake in front of him. His heart began to beat uncontrollably. No matter what, he had never thought that the Silver Striped Golden Snake, which was extremely rare on the entire Tian Yuan Continent, would actually be in such a remote area. Moreover, he had encountered it in the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Jianchen carefully scanned the body of the golden snake that was only as thick as a wrist. In the end, he had no choice but to admit that what he had encountered was indeed a Silver Striped Golden Snake.
"Crap, why did I encounter this thing?" Jianchen quickly calmed down, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart. Although he had never seen a Silver Striped Golden Snake with his own eyes, the information he had read in books was more than enough for him to understand. With his current strength as a Great Saint, encountering a Silver Striped Golden Snake would undoubtedly be a very troublesome matter.
Jianchen's gaze became serious as he stared at the Silver Striped Golden Snake that was only a dozen meters away from him. His eyes were filled with vigilance as he gripped the Light Wind Sword tightly. He knew that the Silver Striped Golden Snake he had encountered was not an ordinary Magical Beast. If he made a mistake, his life could very well end here.
This was definitely the most dangerous situation he had encountered since entering the Devil Beast Mountain Range. It was so dangerous that Jianchen didn't even have the confidence to make it out alive.
If he had encountered other powerful Magical Beasts, Jianchen wouldn't have been able to defeat them. At least he would have had the opportunity to escape. But ever since he had recognized the Silver Striped Golden Snake, he had already given up on the idea of running away. Although his speed was extremely fast, to the point where he could surpass a Saint Master with the wind attribute, when facing a Silver Striped Golden Snake, Jianchen knew that with his speed, he wouldn't even be able to carry its shoes.
This was because the Silver Striped Golden Snake's speed in a straight line was extremely fast. Although it wasn't the fastest Magical Beast out of all the Magical Beasts on land, the Silver Striped Golden Snake's speed in a straight line was definitely in the top three. Among humans, unless they had the wind attribute Saint Force and were stronger than the Silver Striped Golden Snake by several levels, they wouldn't be able to catch up to it.
"If I encounter a Silver Striped Golden Snake, I definitely can't run in a straight line. Otherwise, only death awaits me. I just don't know how strong this Silver Striped Golden Snake is. If it's a Class 1 Magical Beast, then the threat it poses to me would be a lot smaller and I might even be able to kill it. If it's a Class 2 Magical Beast, then even if it poses a threat to me, it shouldn't be a problem for me to escape from it." Jianchen thought to himself. Right now, he could only hope that the Silver Striped Golden Snake in front of him wasn't too strong. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to leave this place alive.
Jianchen took less than a breath's time to think. At this moment, the Silver Striped Golden Snake suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a grey poisonous mist. It quickly floated towards Jianchen. Just as the poisonous mist appeared, all the plants in a ten meter radius immediately withered. Even some of the thick branches were changing at a visible rate, their life force quickly draining away.
Just as the grey mist appeared, Jianchen actually felt a wave of dizziness. At the same time, Jianchen's body also felt a wave of weakness.
Feeling the changes in his body, Jianchen's eyes flashed with a trace of shock. The Silver Striped Golden Snake's poisonous mist could actually spread through the air, directly polluting the air. Now, Jianchen finally experienced the terror of the Silver Striped Golden Snake's poison. No wonder this poison could easily kill a Heaven Saint Master.
Without any hesitation, Jianchen immediately bit the tip of his tongue. The heart-wrenching pain from the tip of his tongue finally cleared his dizzy mind. Following that, he quickly retreated and circulated the Saint Force in his body. Only like this did the feeling of weakness in his body gradually recede.
After regaining his composure, Jianchen's expression had already become heavy. Although he had not fought with the Silver Striped Golden Snake, from the poisonous mist it had spat out, he could already estimate that the Silver Striped Golden Snake's strength was at least at the second step.
Seeing the poisonous mist quickly float towards him, Jianchen did not hesitate at all. He immediately held his breath and lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot. His body gracefully shot into the distance.
Just as Jianchen moved, the Silver Striped Golden Snake's body also moved. It turned into a golden streak of light and chased after Jianchen at a speed several times faster than Jianchen's.
Although the Silver Striped Golden Snake's body was only as thick as a person's wrist, its speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already caught up to Jianchen and opened its mouth wide to bite at Jianchen's neck.
Just as the Silver Striped Golden Snake's mouth was about to bite down on Jianchen's neck, Jianchen suddenly lowered his body and dodged the attack by a hair's breadth. At the same time, he turned around and stabbed the Light Wind Sword in his right hand towards the Silver Striped Golden Snake's neck. On the blade of the Light Wind Sword, there was a layer of hazy white light. At the tip of the sword, a large amount of Sword Qi gathered together to form a dazzling white light. This was the full strength of Jianchen's sword.
The Light Wind Sword was able to pierce through the Silver Striped Golden Snake's body without any hindrance. However, Jian Chen's face didn't reveal the slightest trace of happiness. Instead, his expression became extremely ugly. This was because the Light Wind Sword hadn't managed to pierce through the Silver Striped Golden Snake's skin. It hadn't even left a single mark.
"What a strong defense." Jian Chen sucked in a breath of cold air, and his face had already become a bit paler. Because of the special cultivation method he cultivated, his attack power was already very strong. Although he only had the strength of a Great Saint, his attack power wasn't much weaker than a Saint Master's at all. However, his full strength strike actually didn't leave the slightest mark on the Golden Silver Striped Snake's vital points. Now, Jian Chen had already realized that the Golden Silver Striped Snake in front of him was at least a Class 3 Magical Beast, or even a Class 4 Magical Beast. It was simply not something he could fight against.
