Chapter 10: Vicious Beast Striped Snake!
"Is this information true?"
Ye Tian asked.
"It's true!" Zhang Bao replied confidently: "We saw it from afar. The students from the First Academy were teaming up to fight against a 10-meter-long Striped Snake. Sadly, they failed. Now, there should be more students ganging up on that Striped Snake!"
"Which direction?" Ye Tian asked.
"Southeast!" Zhang Bao pointed in that direction.
Shuush!
Ye Tian quickly ran towards that direction. Soon, his silhouette could no longer be seen.
"I thought Ye Tian and I are the same," Zhang Bao sighed as he watched Ye Tian fade away from view. I wasn't expecting him to conceal his strength. He has the potential to become a martial artist. In the future, he could even become an [Elite] martial artist."
It would be a lie to say he was not envious. Even if he was envious, it was pointless. This was an era wherein only talent matters . He only possessed [Inferior] cultivating talent. He would never be more than an early-stage martial artist, no matter how hard he tried.
"Let's go. We're retreating!"
Zhang Bao sighed.
"Retreat? Not hunting more violent beasts?" One of the students was unwilling.
"We're not going to hunt anymore. With our strengths, even if we team up, we won't be able to obtain the vicious beast blood. In fact, I should have realized it from the start. The Five Great Academies organized this trial to give the elite students a chance. The top brass wanted to quickly create some martial artists. Even if the majority of us died, they wouldn't bat an eye." Zhang Bao grinned.
The other students didn't retort. They agreed silently.
This world is cruel. To martial artists, the lives of normal humans and martial disciples mean nothing to them. Even though this trial allowed every student to participate, it was meant for the elite students to gain experience.
The seven of them walked towards the exit of the small wilderness area while feeling down, without looking back.
....
After running for a certain distance, Ye Tian stopped on his track. Currently, he's carrying a lot of stuff on his back. Even though these stuff weren't heavy, they would hinder him during combat. He wouldn't be able to fight properly while carrying these on his back.
Normally, to solve this problem, there are two ways. The first method is to return to the valley entrance and turn the materials into points. However, going back and forth would take too much time.
The second method is to hide the material. When it's time to return, then you take it out.
"Let's bury these!"
Ye Tian hurriedly dug a hole in the ground and buried everything into it. After that, he covered it with some camouflage.
The small wilderness area was vast enough and it was unlikely to be found by other people. An average violent beast wouldn't be interested in these materials too.
Everything was ready. Ye Tian sped towards the southeast area.
Bam!!
From afar, the sound of battle could be heard. Judging from the sound, you can tell how fierce the battle was.
"Could it be that the pseudo vicious beast Striped Snake had been taken down already?"
Ye Tian thought.
Pseudo vicious beasts may be strong, but there were a lot of peak-stage martial disciples. During battle, the pseudo vicious beast may not last long.
"Let's hope I make it in time!"
Ye Tian hoped.
After 30 seconds, Ye Tian reached the area. However, the situation wasn't as he expected.
"This is..."
Ye Tian's pupil shrunk.
In that area, there were around 10 martial disciples attacking the injured Striped Snake. This Striped Snake wasn't 10-meter-long as told by Zhang Bao. It was 12 meter long.
"Vicious beast!" This Striped Snake has progressed to the level of a vicious beast. However, it should be considered the weakest vicious beast."
Ye Tian was assessing the situation.
A vicious beast's strength isn't based on their size. Even though this Striped Snake was large compared to other vicious beasts, its attack pattern was simple. Its power wasn't that great either. Its overall strength was lower than the average vicious beast.
But, how did this Striped Snake evolve into a vicious beast?
Ye Tian wasn't the only one who was puzzled by this. The other students were puzzled too.
At this moment, most of them didn't think too much. Their aim was to kill this vicious beast Striped Snake.
A pseudo vicious beast Striped Snake would be worth 500 points. However, a vicious beast Striped Snake is different. It should be worth at least 1000 points.
Also, this was a vicious beast. Once it's killed, its vicious beast blood can be absorbed by many students to increase their cultivation.
You can say that the entirety of the vicious beast Striped Snake is a treasure!
Fortunately, this Striped Snake should only have recently evolved into a vicious beast. Its strength should not be much greater than that of a peak-stage martial disciple. Otherwise, these martial disciple students wouldn't dare to gang up on it.
Even so, many students were injured and exited the battle.
Ye Tian didn't attack. He was spectating from a hidden spot.
After 10 minutes had passed, there were only 5 students left. These 5 students were the elite students with [Medium] cultivating talent from the First Academy. Their bodies were also covered in wounds.
However, the vicious Striped Snake was also heavily injured. There were a lot of arrow and knife lesions on its body. There was even a cut between its eyes.
Suddenly.
The vicious beast Striped Snake unleashed the power of its bloodline, swung its large tail and swept all the five students away.
The next moment, the vicious beast Striped Snake escaped.
Upon unleashing its bloodline, the vicious beast Striped Snake had the speed of an average vicious beast. Unless you're a martial artist, there is no way that you can catch up to it.
The students tried to chase after it, but soon they found out that it was impossible.
"Shit! This vicious beast ran away again. Everyone, chase after it. It's injured and won't be able to go far.
Mo ShaoBei was fuming.
However, nobody noticed that there was a shadow tailing the vicious beast.
"Haha! The heavens are helping me. My [Speed] talent is perfect for chasing this vicious beast Striped Snake."
Ye Tian was excited.
After following the vicious beast Striped Snake for 7 to 8 turns, it hid its injured body in a cave.
Ye Tian hesitated for a while before entering the cave. With his speed, even if there was danger, he could easily retreat if needed.
The cave was extending deeper into the ground. Not knowing how long he had walked, Ye Tian finally reached a stone cave. The vicious beast Striped Snake was here.
However, currently, it was almost dead, but it still tried to crawl into the stone cave. Without hesitation, Ye Tian used his [Speed] talent while holding his steel knife, he swiftly attacked the vicious beast Striped Snake.
Even if his strength was weak, the vicious beast Striped Snake was soon killed.
"The vicious beast blood!"
Ye Tian didn't overlook such an important thing. He quickly took out a container from his waist and cut open the heart of the vicious beast Striped Snake. The blood from the vicious beast's heart slowly dripped into the container.
The vicious beast Striped Snake had only just stepped into the vicious beast realm recently. Most of the blood in its body is still of a violent beast's. Only in its heart would there be pure vicious beast blood. Therefore, Ye Tian only collected blood from the heart. The blood in the other parts of the body wasn't needed.
Soon, the container was full and the blood in the vicious beast Striped Snake's heart had dried up.
"Enough for 5 portions of [Low] grade vicious beast blood. I have struck a fortune!"
Ye Tian was excited.
