31: Chapter 31 Exploring the Ruins

"The ancient ruins are right in the valley ahead! Let's go in."

Feng Xiaomei parked the pickup truck at the entrance of a valley, pointed to the lush valley ahead, and said.

"Alright!"

Yang Juncheng replied, stepped out of the passenger seat, and walked into the valley first.

Many tall trees grew in the valley. The dense leaves blocked the sky, and only a little sunlight filtered through the lush foliage into the valley.

Walking beneath the dense leaves, Yang Juncheng silently raised his vigilance. He took a cold, shimmering longsword from his spatial ring and gripped it tightly in his hand.

"A spatial ring!"

Following behind, Feng Xiaomei saw Yang Juncheng's action, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes as she exclaimed involuntarily in her heart.

Swoosh!

Yang Juncheng and Feng Xiaomei had only walked a few hundred meters into the valley when a crisp sound of breaking air rang out in the valley.

A small, bright green snake leaped down from a large tree, transforming into a green arrow as it shot straight toward Yang Juncheng.

"Watch out!"

Seeing the small green snake's movement, Feng Xiaomei's expression changed drastically, and she immediately shouted a warning.

Hearing Feng Xiaomei's warning, Yang Juncheng's expression remained unchanged. He gently swung the longsword in his hand, and a sharp red sword radiance shot out from it, meeting the small green snake.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the small green snake was sliced into two by the sharp red sword radiance, with traces of flames burning at the wound.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this moment, crisp sounds of breaking air rang out in the valley one after another.

Numerous small green snakes leaped down from the trees, turning into green arrows as they pounced straight at Yang Juncheng.

Facing the attack of the many small green snakes, Yang Juncheng's expression remained unchanged. He lightly waved the sharp longsword in his hand, and sharp red sword radiances shot out from it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amidst the crisp sounds, the small green snakes were sliced into two by the sharp red sword radiances, falling downwards like raindrops.

In a matter of moments, dozens of small green snakes were completely slaughtered by Yang Juncheng, turning into broken corpses.

"Yang Juncheng, although these Green Arrow Snakes are only Early Stage Rank 1 Vicious Beasts, their teeth are extremely sharp. They can easily bite through alloys and can even break through the protective barrier of a Xiantian Martial Artist. Their attack power is very strong.

At the same time, the Green Arrow Snake's teeth contain a potent poison. Once struck, an ordinary Martial Artist will surely die, and even a Xiantian Martial Artist will die from the poison if not treated in time.

More importantly, Green Arrow Snakes always appear in groups, attacking in dozens at a time. They are impossible to guard against and extremely dangerous!

If these Green Arrow Snakes were targeting me, it would be very difficult for me to block all of them. I would likely be bitten and die from the poison!

Yet such formidable Green Arrow Snakes were all slaughtered by you before they could even get within three zhang of you. I must say, your strength and combat power are truly too powerful!"

Looking at the Green Arrow Snake corpses covering the ground, Feng Xiaomei couldn't help but give Yang Juncheng a thumbs up.

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Yang Juncheng replied softly, took a alloy Flying Dagger from his trench coat, and walked over to the corpse of a Green Arrow Snake.

Afterward, Yang Juncheng crouched down, picked up the upper half of the Green Arrow Snake's body, and carefully dug out all its teeth with the alloy Flying Dagger in his hand.

The Green Arrow Snake's teeth are incomparably sharp. Not only can they pierce through alloy steel, but they can also break through a Xiantian Martial Artist's True Qi protective barrier. They also contain potent poison and are very valuable, with a single tooth worth over one hundred thousand federal credits.

One Green Arrow Snake has sixteen teeth, worth two million federal credits.

Yang Juncheng had just slaughtered sixty-two Green Arrow Snakes. By digging out all their teeth, he could sell them for at least over 120 million federal credits. Yang Juncheng certainly wouldn't miss out on this windfall.

"It's good to be strong. Just from the teeth of these sixty-two Green Arrow Snakes, you can earn over 120 million federal credits!"

Seeing Yang Juncheng's actions, Feng Xiaomei immediately revealed a look of envy. She sighed, pulled an alloy dagger from her long boots, and began helping Yang Juncheng dig out the Green Arrow Snake teeth.

"Let's continue moving forward!"

Yang Juncheng put all the excavated Green Arrow Snake teeth into his spatial ring, greeted Feng Xiaomei, and then, holding his longsword, continued walking into the depths of the valley.

Not long after, a green snake, several zhang long, covered in cyan scales and as thick as a bucket, entered Yang Juncheng's field of vision.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The green snake coiled its body, raised its head high, and flicked its scarlet tongue in and out, emitting waves of thick, foul stench.

"A Rank 2 Cyan-Scaled Snake!"

Looking at the green snake not far away, Feng Xiaomei's expression changed drastically. She exclaimed softly and involuntarily took a few steps back.

As Feng Xiaomei retreated, the green snake moved, transforming into a cyan afterimage as it pounced toward her.

The green snake's scarlet tongue shot out, carrying a thick, foul stench, and swept toward Feng Xiaomei first.

Once Feng Xiaomei's body was coiled by the green snake's tongue, she would be dragged into the green snake's stomach and become its food.

"Gale Sword Technique!"

Facing the attack of the green snake's tongue, Feng Xiaomei roared, stirred the True Qi within her body, and swung the longsword in her hand, meeting the green snake's tongue head-on.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the green snake's tongue and Feng Xiaomei's longsword collided.

A terrifying force erupted from the green snake's tongue, causing Feng Xiaomei's wrist to ache. Her longsword flew out of her hand, was thrown into the distance, and pierced into a large tree, vibrating violently.

Immediately afterward, the green snake's tongue swept toward Feng Xiaomei without slowing down, aiming to coil around her and drag her into its stomach.

Just at this moment, a sharp red sword radiance, carrying keen sharpness and scorching flame power, slashed down onto the green snake's tongue.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the green snake's tongue was severed by the red sword radiance. Waves of scorching flame power adhered to the green snake's severed tongue, burning it continuously and causing it to emit painful hissing sounds as it hastily retracted the severed tongue.

"Flame Slash!"

At this moment, Yang Juncheng roared, moved his body, and transformed into an afterimage. He approached the green snake with lightning speed, swung the sharp longsword in his hand, and slashed down toward the green snake's head with sharp keenness.

Facing Yang Juncheng's longsword attack, the green snake whipped its tail forcefully, transforming it into a cyan long whip that lashed out toward Yang Juncheng.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, Yang Juncheng's longsword changed direction and collided with the green snake's tail. The sharp keenness easily broke through the scales on the green snake's tail, severing it.

Afterward, Yang Juncheng's longsword turned in mid-air, and with sharp keenness and scorching flames, slashed off the green snake's head, causing blood to splatter and killing it on the spot.
