173: Ten Thousand Snakes Valley

"Master, Black and White sent a message."

"One of the yin yang bamboo shoots it carefully cultivated has matured."

"It not only contains immense Energy, but is also said to have a miraculous effect of enhancing Mental Power."

"It is perfectly suited as food for Master."

Bloodwing's respectful voice came from the air.

However, as he spoke, he paused and said somewhat ashamed:

"It's just a pity that the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest is simply too far from here."

"My and Black and White's strength is too weak to withstand the dangers of the journey."

"We cannot personally present the yin yang bamboo shoots as a gift to Master."

Under normal circumstances, Bloodwing, with his flying advantage, would hardly encounter danger.

But that was only under normal circumstances.

If he chose to fly while carrying a yin yang bamboo shoots, which held a fatal attraction for all Awakened Beasts.

That would be tantamount to courting death.

This meant he couldn't retrieve the yin yang bamboo shoots for Lin Tianwei at all.

Lin Tianwei naturally understood the meaning in Bloodwing's words.

It was nothing more than him having to go in person.

yin yang bamboo shoots?

A strange name.

However, anything so highly valued by Black and White must be a rare heavenly treasure.

Looking at his slightly bloated body, Lin Tianwei suddenly had the idea of going out for a trip.

While retrieving the yin yang bamboo shoots.

He could also personally witness how dangerous this place, filled with Awakened Beasts, truly was.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked into the distance.

If it wasn't interesting outside, he would be disappointed.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei ordered Bloodwing: "Guard the farm well, I'll be back soon."

With that, Lin Tianwei's massive body stood up.

With a thought, a massive gate opened before him.

Even Lin Tianwei's enormous body could easily pass through.

This was the gate Lin Tianwei had re-opened in this house using his Mental Power.

He shook the fat on his body; these were high-energy substances formed through Energy Storage.

They were Lin Tianwei's best reserves.

Even with equal combat power, Lin Tianwei could win by relying on greater Energy reserves.

As for whether this fat would affect Lin Tianwei's mobility?

From Lin Tianwei's incredibly agile movements, one could tell.

He was still an incredibly Flexible tiger!

Pushing with all four limbs, Lin Tianwei burst forth with terrifying speed, galloping towards the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing straight towards his target.

However, it was clear that Lin Tianwei's journey was not as smooth as he imagined.

Because a herd of wild buffalo blocked his path.

Of course, strictly speaking, Lin Tianwei had trespassed into their territory.

And then charged into the herd of wild buffalo.

After all, being fearless, he would never change his direction just because a herd of wild buffalo blocked his way.

However, Lin Tianwei felt that not dodging in time was the biggest mistake of these wild buffalo.

The food on the farm was getting a bit boring, so it was a good chance to change the taste.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei's speed did not decrease but increased, directly crashing into the herd of wild buffalo.

Moo moo moo?

The wild buffalo probably didn't expect to suffer such an unprovoked disaster.

Before they could react, their bodies were sent flying as if struck by a force of ten thousand tons, soaring into the sky, then crashing heavily to the ground.

Some weaker wild buffalo even died on the spot.

Of course.

The most tragic were these wild buffalo that died on the spot.

While charging into the herd, Lin Tianwei's tail was not idle.

Like a Flexible hand, the moment Lin Tianwei passed through the herd.

With a flick of his tail, an innocent wild buffalo was captured by Lin Tianwei.

It was involuntarily drawn closer to his terrifying, gaping maw.

Finally, under the cutting of Lin Tianwei's incredibly sharp teeth, it was ground into meat paste and entered Lin Tianwei's stomach.

It became Lin Tianwei's unexpected meal.

In this way, Lin Tianwei proceeded unimpeded, rapidly rushing towards the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest.

Anything along the way.

As long as Lin Tianwei took a liking to it, it became food in his tiger's mouth.

For a time, Lin Tianwei actually became fuller and fuller as he ran.

It could be considered an incredibly miraculous thing.

However, Lin Tianwei's recklessness finally led him to encounter the first obstacle of this journey.

This was a human Forbidden Zone called the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

It was home to countless Awakened Snakes.

There were venomous, non-venomous, and highly Poisonous ones; just looking at them was enough to inspire awe.

And the miasma lingering near the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes was equally dangerous.

It contained incredibly terrifying miasma Poison.

Even humans wearing gas masks dared not linger here.

Because even if this miasma merely touched the skin, it was enough to cause Poisoning and death.

It could even cause the body to rapidly decompose, turning into a pool of pus and blood.

Due to the large number of venomous snakes, every inch of soil here was marinated in snake Poison.

Containing a large amount of toxins.

It was simply not a place suitable for human survival.

Many times, humans, after weighing the pros and cons, would not bother with such a tasteless, useless place.

Hence, it earned the name 'Human Forbidden Zone of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes'.

Now.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes lay across Lin Tianwei's path, attempting to block his way.

He glanced disdainfully at the venomous snakes in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Lin Tianwei didn't even slow down before charging into the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

These ridiculous little things couldn't possibly cause him any harm.

Human Forbidden Zone?

The reason it was called a Forbidden Zone was simply because they were too weak.

As expected.

He took a deep breath of a large cloud of miasma, savoring the rich, pungent, and salty smell it contained.

Lin Tianwei's incredibly powerful body showed no reaction whatsoever.

Well, even if this miasma was extremely Poisonous.

The small amount absorbed was insignificant compared to Lin Tianwei's terrifying size.

Of course, the focus of this battle was not the miasma.

But the countless venomous snakes scattered throughout the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

The venom stored in their bodies was their strongest weapon.

Facing Lin Tianwei, who was countless times larger than them, they showed no fear.

They coiled up, emitting hissing warning sounds, attempting to deter this ignorant creature before them.

However, how could Lin Tianwei be scared away by them?

As if completely oblivious to these venomous snakes, he fearlessly took his first step.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction failed, host obtained three hundred eighty Talent fragments."

..."Ding, Talent extraction failed, host obtained four hundred twenty Talent fragments."

Instantly, countless venomous snakes, unable to dodge in time, were directly trampled into meat paste by Lin Tianwei.

For a moment, kill notifications flooded the screen.

Unfortunately, it seemed no sufficiently powerful Talent was extracted.

They were all merely Talent fragments, barely better than nothing.

Lin Tianwei's proactive attack also enraged these venomous snakes.

They fought without fear of death, unleashing the strength of all their muscles.

Like arrows, they shot towards Lin Tianwei.

Soon, countless venomous snakes approached Lin Tianwei's body.

They opened their mouths wide, launching their fiercest attacks against Lin Tianwei.

With the acceleration of flight, their fangs would become even sharper.

However, they still underestimated Lin Tianwei's defense.

Or perhaps overestimated their own strength.

Biting Lin Tianwei, they only felt as if they had bitten into a huge rock.

Not only did they fail to tear through the rock's defense, but some weaker venomous snakes even had their fangs broken by Lin Tianwei.

Such a vast disparity in strength did not make them give up the attack; instead, it further ignited their ferocity.

Countless venoms sprayed from their mouths.

In just a moment, Lin Tianwei's body was completely covered.

Although external application was not as effective as direct injection.

However, there was no doubt that external application still had some effect.

This could be inferred from the intense corrosive sounds emanating from Lin Tianwei's body.

Although Lin Tianwei's Poison Resistance was very high.

But the snake venoms of these snakes were also not ordinary.

Coupled with their exaggerated numbers, given enough time, they would definitely be able to break through Lin Tianwei's defense.

However, it was clear that Lin Tianwei would not give them that time.

Roar~~~~~~~~

A furious roar erupted from Lin Tianwei's mouth, the wrath of the King of Beasts.

The accompanying Sonic Wave attack directly repelled the venomous snakes still lingering around Lin Tianwei.

Temporarily halting the snakes' attack.

However, this was not Lin Tianwei's true killing move.

The real killing move originated from his already open maw.

Flames.

Terrifying flames carrying scorching high temperatures directly erupted, sweeping away all the venomous snakes in Lin Tianwei's path.

Not only that, but Lin Tianwei's body also burst into raging flames.

Not only did it instantly vaporize the snake venom, but it also deterred those venomous snakes attempting to attack him again.

Even powerful Awakened Snakes, when facing the flames they naturally feared, developed fear and hesitated.

However, while they might hesitate, Lin Tianwei would not.

Like a giant flamethrower.

Lin Tianwei, moving his body, continuously unleashed flames forward.

The venomous snakes hit were instantly ignited into torches.

For a moment, a pleasant aroma of roasted meat filled the air.

Making Lin Tianwei Can't help it want to taste these delicious grilled spicy strips.

While they could still move, they frantically fled, swimming towards the cold pond in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

This was also why this area was called a Forbidden Zone.

If mere flames could solve everything, it would be too simple.

Lin Tianwei's flamethrower looked powerful, but in reality, only some weaker venomous snakes were left behind.

This was also why Lin Tianwei usually didn't like to use this kind of attack.

An AOE attack that consumes a lot of stamina.

Unless it's a completely overwhelming situation, it can basically only serve to clear the field.

But this was already enough.

Lin Tianwei believed that after his display of power, these ignorant venomous snakes would no longer dare to block his path.

After enjoying some delicious grilled spicy strips as a snack, Lin Tianwei was about to leave.

But then he noticed a colossal creature had set its sights on him.

This was a giant python.

Its length of twenty meters and a diameter of nearly one meter made it look imposing.

At this moment, it was looking at Lin Tianwei with ill-intentioned eyes.

Clearly, it regarded Lin Tianwei as its food.

Lin Tianwei was incredibly curious.

A python of this length, seemingly powerful, was in reality no match for him.

Its initiative appearance before him must mean it had some reliance.

The only possibility was that the python had awakened a powerful Talent, which made it believe it had the capital to contend with Lin Tianwei.

A powerful Talent?

Lin Tianwei's eyes lit up.

This was a good thing that had actively delivered itself to his doorstep; he absolutely couldn't miss it.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei proactively launched an attack on the large python in front of him.

He only hoped it had some strength to give Lin Tianwei a bit of a workout.

A massive tiger paw, carrying immense power, slammed fiercely towards the python's vital spot.

Pythons, as creatures, don't actually move very fast.

At least not faster than Lin Tianwei's attack speed.

If it didn't have some ability, Lin Tianwei's single attack would be enough to instantly kill it.

Once struck,

Lin Tianwei's tiger paw would absolutely be able to smash its body into a pulp.

It was a pity that Lin Tianwei's prepared strike missed.

The moment Lin Tianwei launched his attack, this python burst out with incredibly terrifying speed.

Although Lin Tianwei noticed it,

it was already too late to change his attack posture.

He could only watch as the python coiled around his body.

Like an iron chain, it tightly wrapped itself around him.

Its powerful muscles continuously contracted, unleashing immense strength.

It actually tried to constrict Lin Tianwei using this simplest method.

Its insufficient length, at this moment, became an advantage for this python.

Because it allowed it to be completely in Lin Tianwei's blind spot.

His teeth couldn't reach.

His claws couldn't reach.

He seemed helpless against it, only able to let the opponent constrict him.

As the python's body tightened little by little,

Lin Tianwei finally felt a hint of pressure.

After all, it was an Awakened Beast python with abilities, possessing formidable strength.

Not only did it have a larger physique than ordinary pythons,

the sudden burst of speed also caused Lin Tianwei a great deal of trouble.

However, to think that such a method alone could deal with Lin Tianwei was still a bit too naive.

Flames once again burned fiercely.

This time, they directly enveloped the python's entire body.

Although Lin Tianwei's teeth and claws couldn't reach this python,

Lin Tianwei's attack methods were not limited to just teeth and claws.

This python could not be judged by common sense.

But Lin Tianwei was also not a creature that could be judged by common sense.

As soon as the flames appeared, they began to burn, using the python's body as fuel.

Under Lin Tianwei's control of his Talent to manipulate flames,

the flames completely avoided Lin Tianwei's body, continuously inflicting burning damage on the python.

This sudden situation was clearly within the python's expectations.

After all, it wasn't stupid.

It had already seen Lin Tianwei release flames before coming.

It didn't retreat.

It didn't flee.

As if the flames didn't exist at all.

In fact, although the flames were continuously scorching the python,

they didn't cause any damage to its body.

Its sturdy scales were the best fire-resistant material.

Instead, after realizing that Lin Tianwei's flames were useless against it, the python continued to constrict its body.

It attempted to completely crush Lin Tianwei with the immense power of its muscles.

Not afraid of fire?

Then use electric shock!

Lin Tianwei had many abilities.

Enough to give this one a hard time.

At the same time, Lin Tianwei also had his own considerations.

That was to use an attack that wasn't very powerful to lower the python's guard.

After all, judging by the speed it had just unleashed,

if this python really wanted to run, Lin Tianwei might not actually be able to catch it.

Lin Tianwei would never let go of its Talent, which made the tiger's eyes green with envy.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei released an electric shock with fifty percent of its power.

He tried to completely paralyze the python's body with this method, allowing himself to win this battle.

Unfortunately, this python truly lived up to its reputation as a creature that dared to provoke Lin Tianwei.

Facing the terrifying electric shock, it still didn't dodge or evade, stubbornly and continuously attacking Lin Tianwei.

It seems this python's resistance is quite good.

Then I can let loose.

A glint flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes, and he directly increased the current output.

For a time, where Lin Tianwei was, sparks flew, illuminating the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

This abnormal situation finally caught the attention of those closely monitoring the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Humans never overlook Forbidden Zones that can be directly observed.

The purpose is that once a suitable opportunity is found, they can launch an attack on it in time and completely destroy it!

Watching the tiger and snake entangled in combat on the screen, the monitoring personnel immediately reported the situation.

Information about this unfamiliar tiger was quickly obtained.

Although it was many times larger,

it was clearly the Tiger King that once resided in the farm!

This discovery astonished everyone.

They hadn't expected that in such a short time, the Tiger King had grown so massive.

One must know that this was a tiger.

Relying on its agile movements and excellent hunting skills, it could completely hunt creatures much larger than itself.

Suddenly, in the eyes of humans, Lin Tianwei's danger level continuously escalated.

It quickly rose to a level that warranted serious attention.

No one knew if this tiger would continue to grow.

Eventually growing into a powerful existence like the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Lord of the Forbidden Zone?

This is the human term for the most powerful creatures in these Forbidden Zones.

Their strength also lives up to the title of Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Each possesses unique abilities.

Just like this terrifying python in front of him.

Although it only had the single ability of acceleration, it compensated for its shortcomings and deficiencies in attack speed.

It could attack and defend!

Making it a terrifying nightmare.

"Good fight, good fight!"

"It's best if both are injured!"

Iscober, who was observing the battle, shouted excitedly.

Those not of our kind are sure to have different intentions!

Since both combatants were Awakened Beasts, he naturally hoped for a conflict between them, allowing humanity to profit.

Based on the current situation, he was more inclined to believe the python would win.

After all, once a python coils around its prey and begins to constrict,

the prey usually only faces death.

Unless it can kill this powerful python before being completely constricted.

It's just a pity.

This python was extremely cunning, giving the Tiger King no chance at all.

Not only did it hide its body in Lin Tianwei's blind spots for attack,

it also relied on its powerful body and resistance to withstand Lin Tianwei's attacks.

First fire, then electricity?

If it couldn't cause fatal damage to the python, what was the difference from setting off fireworks?

Thinking of this, Iscober continued to watch the battle before him.

At the same time, he sent the observed data to a higher level.

To be analyzed by a specialized data analyst.

Soon, the data analyst Etna received the data from Iscober.

After careful analysis, a very feasible plan was obtained and sent to the higher-level commander.

Perhaps this was a very good opportunity to take advantage of the Tiger King's absence and capture the farm in one fell swoop.

After all, the Tiger King, who ruled the farm, had already left.

This was merely a place that could be slaughtered at will.

The resources on that land were coveted by countless people.

The honey and milk flowing out of the farm were rare high-grade biological resources.

Even without mentioning these, the herds of livestock alone were extremely valuable food resources.

Enough to sustain a city for a good period of time.

Such enormous profits naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Especially Old Gold City.

No one was unaware of the principle of 'the early bird catches the worm'.

For a time, countless people began to stir.

However, Ismail, the City Lord of Old Gold City, had no intention of attacking Tiger King Farm.

Unless Lin Tianwei could be completely eliminated, she would never rashly provoke such a powerful existence.

On the contrary, she believed that keeping the farm could instead restrain Lin Tianwei's actions.

A wild beast with no attachments.

Compared to a wild beast with attachments, it was self-evident which was more terrifying.

It's just that very few people had Ismail's foresight.

At least her neighbor, Eliseo, the City Lord of Las City, did not share that insight.

At this moment, he was overjoyed looking at the news from headquarters.

The Tiger King has left, and Tiger King Farm is vulnerable!

He had initially thought that not getting a share in the attack on the human Forbidden Zone was a bad thing.

But he never expected to stumble upon an even better opportunity because of it.

A farm that was almost undefended yet possessed a large amount of resources?

This was simply a windfall from heaven.

Thinking of this, Eliseo couldn't help but laugh heartily, saying, "Ismail is such a coward."

"She doesn't dare to act on such an opportunity, she's practically shaming America."

"But it doesn't matter, I'm here."

"I will take her place and devour this plump piece of meat."

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart and summoned the forces of Las City.

He prepared to drive straight in and directly seize the plump prize of Tiger King Farm.

As long as their attack speed was fast enough, by the time the Tiger King finally returned, all he would see was devastation.

They would be completely untraceable.

As for the people in the farm?

Since they chose to seek refuge in the farm,

they could not be considered their own people.

If they surrendered directly, that would be fine; their lives might be spared.

If they resisted, then he shouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

In less than half an hour, Eliseo had already finalized the plan to attack Tiger King Farm.

The speed was astonishing.

Perhaps they simply didn't take the defenses of Tiger King Farm seriously.

Indeed.

Compared to other Forbidden Zones, the atmosphere at Tiger King Farm was a bit too harmonious.

Plus, with a large number of humans living there, it looked peaceful and idyllic from every angle.

As for Lin Tianwei's battle record?

Perhaps it existed before the Second World Mutation.

But after the Second World Mutation, it completely fell silent.

Compared to the terrifying combat power of other Forbidden Zones, it was completely insignificant.

This also made some ignorant people restless.
