Psionic Power: 70

Skill: [Wolf King]: Passive; When commanding a wolf pack, increase physical and mental attributes. One pack member increases physical strength by 0.2 and spirit by 0.1 (Maximum increase of 20 points of physical strength and 10 points of spirit).

[Intermediate Bloodthirst]: Active; consumes 10 points of psionic power to increase speed by 100% for a short period of time. Lasts 20 seconds.

Iron IX!

An elite-rank vicious beast!

Both factors combined, it was several times stronger than an ordinary demon wolf!

Even with Gu Wan’er’s initial attributes as a hidden professional, if she was careless, there was a risk of misfortune against such a beast.

Lin Sen paid attention to the [Intermediate Claws] of the wolf king—it could easily cut open a rock that was several meters long!

In the eyes of some people in the plains, this was akin to splitting a mountain with a single claw!

Even with 655 points of physical strength, if he had received this attack in full, he would probably have been injured too.

After all, no matter how tough a body of flesh and blood was, it was ultimately restrained by a body of steel.

His only flaw now was that his level was too low and his skills were insufficient.

If only I have a skill similar to [Skin Hardening].

With the explosive attributes, I’ll be unparalleled.

Under the moonlight.

The pale-white wolf king was covered in blood, like a vengeful Demon Wolf from hell.

It glared at Lin Sen.

Just as Lin Sen thought that the final battle was about to begin——

The pale white wolf king faked an attack and fled towards the wilderness behind it.

Aah-ooh——

Before it left, it did not forget to howl.

The remaining Demon Wolves also fled in all directions following the wolf king’s call.

Lin Sen was stunned by this scene for a second.

“F*ck.”

“Right at this point?”

“I’m all prepared, and you’ve escaped!?”

He looked at the wolves fleeing in all directions.

Lin Sen hesitated for half a second before stomping on the ground and running towards the wolf king.

Thinking of leaving after offending the Abbot? [1. Reference to a line in Stephen Chow’s The God of Cookery].

Ridiculous!

One wolf and one man, one fleeing, one chasing.

In the dark night, both parties dashed towards the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

After all, Lin Sen only had two legs and had just entered the forest. He was not as agile as the wolf king who had always lived in the forest.

It also had [Intermediate Bloodthirst] that increased its speed by 100%, making it difficult for Lin Sen to give chase.

Still.

In just a few minutes.

When the wolf king’s psionic energy was exhausted, the scale of victory would be titled towards Lin Sen.

Roar——

Out of the blue!

A sudden change occurred.

An earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the entire forest.

Lin Sen’s expression changed slightly as he tried his best to stop.

He saw…

A huge snake head that was ten meters wide with a huge bloody mouth stretched out from the night and swallowed the panicked wolf king!

After that.

The huge snake head stretched its neck slightly and raised its head from the ground.

Under the support of the snake’s body, the head that covered the sky was almost dozens of meters tall!

Under the moonlight.

It was like the mythical serpent that encircled the Earth, Jörmungandr, a giant python that stood there leisurely.

No doubt.

It was the absolute king of this domain in the Hundred Thousand Mountains!

Lin Sen and the wolf king had entered its territory by mistake.

This king of the forest looked down from above, its forked tongue sticking out from time to time, with some of the wolf king’s white fur stuck on it.

There was a hint of mockery in its beady eyes as it stared at Lin Sen.

Danger!

Lin Sen’s heart skipped a beat.

He swiftly retreated.

Boom——

The spot where he stood just now was destroyed by a huge snake tail that was dozens of meters long, along with the surrounding giant trees.

Strong winds kicked up soil.

Lin Sen retreated nearly a hundred meters with a complicated expression. He saw that the giant python seemed to have difficulty moving.

Only then did he open his interface with lingering fear——

Name: Earthly Giant Snake

Level: Bronze IX

Rank: Lord

Physical Body: 1065 (+200)

Spirit: 658

Psionic Power: 989

Skill: [Behemoth]: Passive; Physical attributes +200, all attacks carry splash effect.

[Advanced Tenacity]: Passive; greatly increases defense, immune to large-scale firearms such as armor-piercing bullets.

[Strangle]: Active; when entangling an individual, physical body points +50.

[Slither]: Passive; movement speed can be increased by 50% for a short period of time.

Bronze IX!

Lord rank!

Powerful and terrifying!

This was undoubtedly a difficult enemy to provoke.

If this was in Lin Sen’s previous life, it would probably be able to take down a small city by itself.

Lin Sen glanced at his attribute panel——

Name: Lin Sen

Occupation: Farmer

Level: Iron VII

Physical Body: 955

Spirit: 1,068

Psionic Power: 1,453

After killing dozens of wolf packs, Lin Sen’s level had also risen to Iron VII.

Compared to Iron IV, his three attributes each went up by 300 points.

Although they appeared very powerful,

only his physical body was only slightly inferior than the Earthly Giant Snake and his spirit and psionic power were all overwhelmingly strong,

he lacked offensive and defensive means.

Even with the [Crown] skill, Lin Sen might not be a match for this giant snake.

With just his fists and the fragile branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, he might not even be able to break through its defense.

Then——

Should I retreat first?

There is no need to provoke a powerful enemy when I’m still in a weak position.

When my level is higher in the future, I’ll come back to kill it.

Such a huge snake should weigh at least tens of thousands of tons. That would make completing the farm upgrade mission a piece of cake.

Lin Sen made a decision inwardly.

He turned around and ran away from the giant snake.

However, he had only taken off for a few seconds

when a premonition suddenly appeared in his mind…

He suddenly saw that the giant snake appeared to have noticed his departure.

And when he left and let down his guard…

It suddenly shot out and covered a distance of a hundred meters in the blink of an eye before swallowing him in one bite!

“Ding—Congratulations to the host for devouring sufficient energy and awakening a new skill from the Kabbalah Tree of Life series: [Wisdom · The Supreme Father]!”

[Wisdom · The Supreme Father: Passive; obtains Future Vision, can observe the future in the next three seconds. When one’s spirit is weak, choose the future observation that is most likely to happen to watch.

A branch of the Kabbalah Tree of Life grew out of thin air.

Lin Sen exerted all his strength, leverage the force to leap dozens of meters away.

Boom——

The attack came as expected.

However, it was different from what [Wisdom · The Supreme Father] had observed.

Lin Sen dodged the Earthly Giant Snake’s sneak attack.

“Cunning!!”

Lin Sen landed on a huge tree trunk formed by the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

He turned around and roared at the giant snake.

“You forced me to do this! I’ll make you pay!”
