7: The beast from Guling Mountain

When Shen Ying went to get the snakeskin, Qingyang also looked at the remaining twenty zhen crystal under the table and immediately swallowed them all in one gulp.

[Devour Points +20.]

After finishing this, Shen Ying also came out holding a two-meter-long Black Gold Python skin.

"Yingying, this piece of snakeskin has my unique aura, that of a Fierce Beast. If you cut it to make a suit of clothes, you should be immune to insect infestations."

Looking at the words Qingyang typed on the phone, Shen Ying nodded heavily, then took out sharp scissors and tried to cut it.

But with just one cut, Shen Ying and Qingyang simultaneously discovered that the defense of this snakeskin was extraordinarily good.

The main thing was its toughness; it was like a spring. The person and the python struggled for a long time before they could barely tear open a slit.

Then, with Qingyang's help, Shen Ying finally managed to cut out a close-fitting top and a pair of knee-length shorts throughout the entire afternoon.

Next was sewing.

It wasn't until around eleven o'clock at night that Shen Ying finally finished making a set of close-fitting snakeskin underwear.

After putting it on, Shen Ying said in surprise, "Wow, it's so warm, there's even a faint feeling of warmth."

Since the hailstorm ten days ago, the entire Gu Ling Mountain had been covered in white.

In the current climate, wearing Qingyang's snakeskin was just right.

As for the scraps, the skillful Shen Ying also made them into a pair of socks and a pair of gloves.

In the middle of the night, in the chicken coop outside, hundreds of small quails seemed to have been stimulated by something and kept chirping.

It wasn't until near dawn that Shen Ying and Qingyang finally couldn't stand the chirping of the hundreds of quails. The person and the python discussed it and immediately had Qingyang swallow these quails.

After biting and swallowing a quail, the data [Devour Points +0.015] made Qingyang slightly stunned.

Obviously, the increase in Devour Points for quail eggs and small quails was different.

Due to the increase in his size from this evolution, Qingyang swallowing these small quails now was like eating sunflower seeds, one bite at a time, and he didn't feel full at all.

With Shen Ying helping to catch them nearby, in just over ten minutes, all four hundred and fifty small quails were swallowed into Qingyang's belly.

[Devour Points +6.75.]

After dealing with these quails, which was better than nothing, the sky had also slightly turned white.

Looking at the oppressive sky, Qingyang and Shen Ying also knew that it should start snowing soon.

Therefore, while crawling towards the house, Qingyang lowered his head to look at his attributes.

[Species: Black Gold Patterned Python (Fierce Beast).]

[Realm: First Tier Early Stage.]

[Strength: 10.]

[Speed: 10.]

[Defense: 10.]

[Devour Points: 32.25.]

[Skill: Winter Black-striped Freeze (Can instantly release a low temperature of -50℃) Cooldown: 24 hours.]

Looking at the Devour Points with decimals, Qingyang couldn't help but complain.

Just as he crawled under the eaves, the sky began to drop ice shards. The tiny ice shards, if they were a bit bigger, would be hailstones.

Shen Ying had already started making breakfast. During this time, Qingyang also had nothing to do, so he lay on the doorstep, looking at the distant Guling Mountain Range.

Gradually, as Shen Ying started eating breakfast, the ice shards outside in the ice and snow also grew bigger and bigger until they completely became hailstones.

At a certain moment, Qingyang felt as if his eyes were playing tricks on him, as he actually saw a treasured crystal contained within one of the relatively large hailstones.

To verify his idea, Qingyang ignored the hailstones and crawled directly into the courtyard.

When a treasured crystal indeed appeared in the largest hailstones, Qingyang's entire python body instantly rose half a meter, expressing his excitement.

Shen Ying inside the house also noticed that something was wrong with Qingyang and immediately said loudly, "A Yang, what's wrong? Come back quickly, be careful of being hit by the hailstones."

"Injured?" Feeling the almost negligible sensation transmitted through his entire body, Qingyang immediately picked up the ping-pong ball-sized hailstone in his mouth and quickly came under the eaves.

Picking up the phone in his mouth, Qingyang quickly said, "It's zhen crystal, Yingying. I'll collect the zhen crystal, and you help us break open the outer ice layer and collect them together."

Knowing that zhen crystal were of great use to Qingyang, Shen Ying immediately went into the house, got a bucket and a hammer, and then sat under the eaves, quickly processing the zhen crystal Qingyang brought over, just like cracking walnuts.

But just when Qingyang was happily collecting, on Gu Ling Mountain, a golden yellow fox was quickly running down the mountain.

Its eyes, full of intelligence, seemed to have received some command, as it ran while searching for zhen crystal.

Suddenly, the yellow fox, located halfway up the mountain, noticed a household at the foot of the distant mountain, especially the Black Gold Python in their courtyard.

A trace of fierceness instantly appeared on its face.

Without much hesitation, it instantly accelerated, taking less than five minutes to arrive outside Qingyang's house.

"Squeak squeak squeak~ (Mountain Lord commands all Fierce Beasts to hand over zhen crystal; none are allowed to keep them for themselves.)"

Strangely, although the other party was squeaking fiercely, Qingyang actually understood what it meant.

As Qingyang turned his head to look, the scene before him made him slightly stunned.

[Fierce Beast: Hongying Fox.]

[Realm: Zero Tier Late Stage.]

[Strength: 9.2.]

[Speed: 11.]

[Defense: 8.]

[Skill: Fox Charm (Can cause those of the same tier to lose focus for five seconds.)]

Seeing the other party's attributes clearly, Qingyang quietly whispered, "Max out speed."

The next second, Qingyang's attributes instantly changed.

[Species: Black Gold Patterned Python (Fierce Beast).]

[Realm: First Tier Early Stage.]

[Strength: 10.]

[Speed: 20 (Evolvable).]

[Defense: 10.]

[Devour Points: 22.25.]

[Skill: Winter Black-striped Freeze (Can instantly release a low temperature of -55℃) Cooldown: 24 hours.]

"Hiss hiss~ (I don't know what you're talking about. Leave my home.)" The courage brought by his strength made Qingyang raise his python head and stand his whole body up half a meter, looking directly at it.

Trying to communicate, the other side indeed understood Qingyang's words and immediately showed its ferocity, looking ready to fight at any moment.

The atmosphere in this world of ice and snow seemed even colder.

The next second, in Qingyang's vertical pupils, he saw that the Hongying Fox opposite actually emitted a hazy pink light from its eyes.

And the instant the pink light appeared, its body instantly leaped high, baring its fangs, and bit towards Qingyang.

Facing this situation, Qingyang's body, which had been raised half a meter, instantly lowered slightly.

"Winter Black-striped Freeze."

As Qingyang's skill was activated for the first time, an extreme cold instantly sprayed out from Qingyang's mouth, like venom, directly hitting the Hongying Fox in the air.

"Thump~"

The low temperature of minus fifty-five degrees instantly stiffened the Hongying Fox's body, and it fell straight down.

But even so, the other party still squeaked, "Aren't you afraid that Mountain Lord will kill you? It's an Exotic Beast with strength reaching the peak of the third tier."
