"Huang Jiahui!"
"Xiao Luo!"
Someone shouted nearby. Luo Yuan and Huang Jiahui were shocked. They quickly separated from each other, tidied up their clothes, and walked out from behind the tree.
"So you guys are hiding here. Are you up to something bad?" Zhao Qiang's face was covered in blood, but he smiled ambiguously.
Huang Jiahui blushed.
Luo Yuan was thick-skinned, so his expression did not change. He changed the topic and said, "My legs were weak just now. How's the snake?"
"It's dead. We shot it so many times, but it's still alive. If it hadn't eaten too much, we would have died." Zhao Qiang grinned.
Luo Yuan thought of something and quickly opened the property panel. The mission had not been completed. He felt strange. If the snake was dead, why hadn't the mission been completed? Had Chen Weiqiang not been killed by the snake? Or was he still alive?
Suddenly, he felt some changes in the property panel in front of him. He looked at it carefully and was delighted.
His Will had increased by one point. It was now at 12 points, which was the highest attribute he had besides his Intelligence. He had not expected his attribute to increase by one point even before the mission was completed. It was a pleasant surprise.
He thought of his terrible performance against the giant snake and thought to himself, "Looks like the Will attribute has something to do with my mental strength. To be honest, he had not paid much attention to Will before. If it had not been for this incident, he would have ignored it.
The brave were fearless. Perhaps being strong did not only require a strong body and an intelligent brain, but also a strong heart. An increase in Will did not increase one's physical strength. It seemed useless, but its importance was no less than other attributes.
Even though his 11-point Willpower is much higher than the average person's, he was still scared out of his wits in the face of danger that was beyond his imagination. If it wasn't for his perseverance, he might have been paralyzed like Huang Jiahui. In this aspect, he's far inferior to Zhao Qiang and Captain Chen, the two experienced policemen. "
"Xiao Luo, give me the knife. I want to cut open the snake's stomach. I've already called the station. Someone should be here to move it soon." Captain Chen walked over from afar. Looking at the snake's stomach, he had no doubt that those people were already dead.
Luo Yuan passed him the knife and followed him.
The surroundings were in a mess. Trees had fallen to the ground, and even the terrain had changed drastically, as if it had just been ravaged by a hurricane.
On the slope in front of him, a giant snake was lying on the ground. Its mouth was tightly shut, revealing a half-foot-long scarlet tongue. Streams of blood were constantly flowing out of its mouth. Its body twitched from time to time, and occasionally twisted its huge body. It was obvious that it was not dead yet.
Huang Jiahui stopped at a distance. Her face was pale, and her body swayed as if she was going to collapse to the ground again.
"He's not dead yet, right?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Almost. In fact, it's already dead. All that's left is its reflexes," Captain Chen said in a hoarse voice.
"Let me try!" Zhao Qiang raised his gun and fired.
Bang!
The bullet hit the corpse, causing blood to blossom. Other than a slight twitch, the giant snake did not move at all!
"There shouldn't be any danger now. Let's go!" Captain Chen seemed relieved and said.
"Oh right, where's Wang Fei?" Luo Yuan looked around, but he did not see Wang Fei.
"That brat had bad luck. He was lying down, but a falling rock hit him and broke his leg!" Zhao Qiang curled his lips and said disdainfully. He looked down on people like Wang Fei the most.
Luo Yuan was happy. He was not a saint, and he had always followed the principle of repaying kindness with kindness. Although he was a little disappointed that he had not killed Wang Fei, the news still made him feel good.
The giant snake seemed to be really dead. Even when they walked in front of it, it did not move. However, when they were about to cut open its abdomen, the giant snake suddenly wriggled, causing them to break out in a cold sweat. To avoid any accidents, they waited for another half an hour, waiting for the giant snake to gradually stiffen before they started.
They tore off pieces of scales the size of a child's palm, revealing the giant snake's snow-white abdomen. Captain Chen picked up the knife and prepared to cut open its abdomen.
However, the snake's skin was very tough and slippery. The knife kept sliding and twisting, and the knife had obviously become blunt from cutting the bushes and vines for a long time. He had been panting for a long time, but he had only managed to make a small cut that was about half a foot wide!
"Let me do it!" Luo Yuan suggested. He could not stand it anymore.
"Okay!" Captain Chen shook his head and passed the knife to Luo Yuan. He shook his sore wrist and smiled bitterly. "This skin is too tough. If I put a few layers on it, it would be almost bulletproof!"
Luo Yuan said, "I'm interested in this snake's skin. Can you give me some for your collection?"
"Sure, what's the big deal?" Captain Chen said casually. "You had a share in killing the snake anyway. We can split it evenly."
"It's a pity that the snake's meat is not tasty. I feel disgusted just thinking about the carcass inside," Zhao Qiang said regretfully. He was not a fan of meat, but he did not dare touch snake meat like this.
Luo Yuan smiled. He took the machete and observed it carefully from top to bottom. He touched the tip of the machete to feel its sharpness. He then separated his legs and calmed himself down, holding the knife with both hands.
The next moment, the knife suddenly slid down. A white light flashed as fast as lightning, but it felt as warm as water. If you looked at it in slow motion, you would see that the tip of the machete was only lightly touching the snake's skin. There was no strength at all. However, under the rapid cutting, there was a soft sound.
A two-foot-long, smooth cut appeared on the tough snake's skin. It was less than a millimeter deep, but there was no blood.
Everyone looked at the wound in amazement. The knife's skill was like art, full of strange beauty!
Luo Yuan exhaled. The scene looked magical, but it was actually just a precise control of strength and fast cutting. An ordinary person could achieve this after a year or two of continuous practice.
As for the control of strength, it was only the beginning of saber techniques. Even so, with his 5-point knife skills, he still needed some time to concentrate and accumulate strength. Not every cut could be so precise.
Luo Yuan stopped and cut again. After more than ten cuts, the snake's skin was finally completely cut open. A pile of internal organs slowly slid out of the wound, and the air was filled with a fishy smell. Luo Yuan looked at the bulging stomach and then looked at Captain Chen.
Captain Chen nodded solemnly.
Luo Yuan took a deep breath and cut open the stomach bit by bit with the machete.
Four corpses mixed with gastric juices flowed out of the cut. Luo Yuan quickly jumped away.
Because of the gastric juices, the corpses looked unrecognizable. Some parts of the body, such as the head, had completely turned into bones. He could not tell who these people were. Luo Yuan looked at them and turned his head. His stomach was churning.
The other two did not look good either.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in Luo Yuan's mind, "Beep! F + Mission: Investigate the cause of Chen Weiqiang's disappearance has been completed. Mission completion time: 19 hours and 35 minutes. Mission evaluation: Good! "
"Basic Experience Reward: 400!"
"Evaluation: Good, Experience + 200!"
"You have leveled up. You have been rewarded 1 Attribute Point and 5 Skill Points. You are now level 4!"
"Your energy and injuries have recovered!"
"Finally, I've leveled up." Luo Yuan was happy, but then he felt a little sad. He was not very close to Chen Weiqiang, but at least they were friends. The completion of the mission obviously meant that one of the corpses was him.
He opened the attributes panel.

Luo Yuan had done a rough analysis of his physical attributes before. He had divided them into three categories. The first category was the ones that did not improve flexibility, such as Intelligence and Dexterity. Basically, no matter how much he trained, there would be a limit to their improvement. The second category was the ones that did improve flexibility, such as Strength and Physique. As long as he trained hard, there would be an immediate improvement. The third category was the ones that could improve flexibility, such as Will and Sensory Perception. Although he did not know how to improve Sensory Perception, he believed that it could be improved quickly if he found a way.
The attribute points for each level up were very valuable, so Luo Yuan would not upgrade them without planning. Every attribute point had to be carefully calculated. For example, the first category was the one that could not be upgraded, so he would add points first. The second category was when he could not improve even with self-training. As for the third category, he planned to upgrade it automatically.
If it had been before, Luo Yuan would not have hesitated to add an attribute point to Intelligence. Compared to other attributes, Intelligence was the most useful in peaceful times. It was a ladder to develop from the bottom of society to the elite.
However, what had happened today had changed Luo Yuan's mind. The world had started to change, and it would definitely be more dangerous in the future. Compared to Intelligence, physical strength would give him a better sense of security.
Luo Yuan thought about it and added his only attribute point to Dexterity.
As soon as he added the point, his body suddenly felt hot, but it quickly subsided.
He immediately felt that the world was a little different. The chirping of insects and birds in the forest seemed to have been slowed down. The sounds became long and melodious, and there was a sense of emptiness and silence. The world seemed to have slowed down. However, he had already experienced adding an attribute point to Dexterity once, so he knew that it was a phenomenon caused by his accelerated nervous response. He was not surprised. He just needed to adapt to it for a while, and he would be back to normal.
He looked at his skill point and decided to put it aside for now. To use a knife, he first needed a knife, but it was a restricted product in China, so there were a lot of restrictions on it. He had not even considered whether he should specialize in knife skills in the future.
