Ji Ye didn't know if it was "changing the map" in the rules of the game.
However, one thing was certain. At the very least, he no longer had to endure the heat and humidity of the tropical jungle!
Of course, the biggest disadvantage after "changing the map" was undoubtedly that the knowledge he had spent on the surrounding geography and monsters would become useless.
The difficulty and danger of climbing a completely unfamiliar thousand-meter-tall mountain suddenly increased by several levels, even though the current location of his "Cave Abode" was about halfway up the mountain and the path was cut in half.
Fortunately, since he wouldn't die for real, and he was very experienced in mountain climbing, he could completely let go of his mentality!
With the Mantis Invisibility Cloak on him, he only encountered two Rank-3 creatures, one Rank-4 creature, one Rank-6 creature, and a group of wild boars with fur as hard as pine needles.
However, for someone like him who had reached Ordinary Rank-8, there was nothing he could do.
Other than the wild boar herd which was slightly troublesome, the other encounters were naturally without any suspense.
However, because their levels were too high, the result of the battle was only a dozen or so experience points.
The only spoils of war was a "military wild boar canned food" produced by the Furry Bear Country in the north.
"Phew …"
About four hours later, Ji Ye successfully stood on the top of the mountain.
Most of the area was bare gray rocks, with only some scattered weeds and shrubs growing on the mountaintop, creating an extremely wide field of vision.
It also allowed Ji Ye to quickly find the target of the mission.
Hiss, hiss!
It was a sunken pool in the middle of the mountain peak. It was about a few dozen feet in diameter, and water kept gushing out of it in violation of the laws of geography.
On the side of the pool, a white waterfall was formed, rumbling down.
On the edge of an exposed rock in the pool, one could see a pitch-black snake with sharp horns the size of two thumbs on its head. Its body was as thick as an adult's calf, and its scales were like black jade. It was as if it could even absorb the light in the sky!
Perhaps because it was a quest target, Ji Ye could see the attributes of this Black Serpent.
[Black Snake]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-One]
Grade: Commander
[Description: A black serpent with a trace of the Black King Drake's bloodline. It has mastered low-level extraordinary power.]
"Commander-class creature?"
Although Ji Ye hadn't seen it before.
However, he could also guess that it should be an existence of a higher level than an Elite creature.
As for Extraordinary Rank-1, the forum had already confirmed that it was above the Ordinary level. It represented the intermediate process of shedding one's mortal body and becoming a Transcendent!
Ji Ye, on the other hand, wasn't too surprised by the Flood Dragon Bloodline.
After all, the forum speculated that this world should have elements like myths and Xianxia. Not to mention the Flood Dragon, mythical creatures like the True Dragon, Phoenix, and Bi Fang would also exist!
"Yes, that is …"
However, after seeing the location of the Black Serpent.
However, Ji Ye didn't choose to attack or observe closely. Instead, he chose to lie on the ground and didn't move. He even tried to hold his breath.
Because at the same time he discovered the Black Serpent, he also discovered two other non-Earth "creatures."
In the sky, about fifty meters above the mountain peak, a flying creature with a wingspan of more than four meters was circling around the pool. Its wings were as wide as four meters when spread out. Its feathers were as sharp as blades, reflecting light comparable to gold under the sunlight.
Two rather handsome "Big Golden Condors"!
Although he couldn't see their attributes without killing them, judging from their appearance and size, Ji Ye estimated that they were at least Ordinary Rank-8 or Rank-9 creatures!
It was obvious that the two creatures, the Golden Condor and the Black Serpent, were in a standoff.
As for the reason for the standoff, the golden eggshells on the rocks in the pool that had been crushed should be enough to explain it!
Caw, caw!
In the sky, the loud cry of an eagle pierced through the clouds and split the sky.
After a standoff for a full 15 minutes, the larger of the two Golden Condors in the sky, the one suspected to be male, seemed to be unable to bear the pain of losing its children any longer.
After a sharp eagle cry, it suddenly flapped its wide golden wings, bringing with it a strong wind from above. Like a resplendent golden sword, it tore through the air and headed straight for the Black Serpent that was entrenched in the pool!
The male Golden Condor rushed down extremely fast. In Ji Ye's vision, there was even a golden afterimage in the process. Even the Extraordinary Black Serpent in the pool didn't seem to be able to react in time and didn't have time to shrink its body into the water.
Caw!
Seeing that the male Golden Condor had already flown above the pool, a pair of sharp claws that could tear apart tigers and leopards grabbed at the Black Serpent's neck!
Could it be that this "Boss" that had been mentioned in the mission was going to be killed by another wild monster right under his nose?
Ji Ye couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, the next moment, the battlefield suddenly changed.
This made Ji Ye's eyes turn cold. It also proved that he had thought too simply of the Black Serpent!
"Crash!"
Just as the Golden Condor rushed above the water and grabbed at the Black Serpent with a pair of golden claws.
With the Black Serpent's body as the center, the lake water within a diameter of several meters suddenly rose up in violation of the laws of physics. It caught the Golden Condor off guard and almost completely engulfed the body of the Golden Condor that couldn't dodge due to its high-speed descent.
Plop!
The Golden Condor, who could be said to be the overlord in the sky, suddenly fell into the water. It instinctively became flustered, and its aggressive attack naturally missed.
Hiss, hiss …
On the contrary, the Black Serpent, which had escaped into its home ground, instantly counterattacked in the water. Its black jade-like body wrapped around the male Golden Condor's entire body like lightning.
Chirp!
The male Golden Condor, who was entangled by the Black Serpent, flapped its wings with all its might, but it couldn't take off again.
After the pair of huge golden wings were wet in the water, they became a burden to a certain extent. The lower half of its body had been forcefully pulled into the pool by the Black Serpent!
Chirp!
Noticing this situation, the slightly smaller female Golden Condor hurriedly swooped down from the sky to help.
A pair of sharp claws glowed like blades under the sunlight as it tried to grab the Black Jade Snake's body that was wrapped around the male Golden Condor's body!
Hiss!
However, unexpectedly, before it could grab the Black Serpent's body, the water surface had already exploded.
In the chaos, the Black Serpent's head with two sharp thorns suddenly drilled out from under the rock. The snake's mouth, which was originally less than ten centimeters in diameter, actually expanded several times in an instant and directly bit the female Golden Condor!
In the snake's mouth were not the two big poisonous fangs of ordinary snakes, but two rows of white sharp teeth that were like flood dragons. In an instant, it had already bitten off the female Golden Condor's neck!
However, the female Golden Condor's pair of sharp claws had also grabbed onto the snake's body, grabbing off more than ten black jade-like scales and even cutting a few sharp teeth.
Hiss!
Under the pain, the Black Serpent's strength loosened.
Chirp!
However, it created a chance for the large male Golden Condor to escape. It took the opportunity to flap its wings and finally got rid of the Black Serpent's entanglement. Then, it desperately flapped its wings and fled.
However, it was obvious that it had been severely injured by the Black Serpent's "strangulation". In addition, all of its feathers were wet, so it could no longer fly. In the end, it was directly washed down by the waterfall beside the pool!
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately! At first, I thought that they would take revenge even if they had to die … "
Ji Ye, who had witnessed this scene from the beginning to the end under the disguise of the Mantis Invisibility Cloak, muttered softly.
"However, this Black Serpent is indeed not easy to kill!"
Then, Ji Ye's expression turned solemn.
It was obvious that the strength of this Extraordinary Rank-1 Commander Black Serpent far exceeded the Ordinary Rank-7 Elite Violet Jade Mantis he had killed previously!
If he fought it head-on, he definitely had no confidence.
In particular, this Black Serpent clearly grasped some kind of "Water Control" Beyonder ability, allowing him to use the "Flame Bursting Crossbow", the only Extraordinary attribute.
He could not use it easily at once.
How to kill the Black Serpent and complete the mission? From the looks of it, he needed to make more detailed preparations and plans!
