Swoosh.
Suddenly, a cold black python rushed out of the pool.
“Be careful, it’s the Blackman Demon Python!!”
Zhang Yi heard the commotion and shouted anxiously.
Zhou Hao reacted very quickly. He grabbed Xu Ling’s arm with one hand and quickly stuck the saber in the gap with the other. Then, his figure retreated explosively.
Pu!
The Blackman Demon Python pounced at lightning speed. Before it could even see the saber, it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the tip of the saber.
The saber immediately pierced through the Blackman Demon Python’s upper jaw.
“Zhang Yi!” Zhou Hao shouted.
Zhang Yi regained his senses and charged forward. He held his saber and slashed at the Blackman Demon Python’s head.
Swoosh!
The sharp saber cut off the Blackman Demon Python’s head. Dark black blood flowed out, making the rocks below emit a corrosive sizzling sound.
Xu Ling’s pretty face was pale as she watched this scene. She knew that if Zhou Hao had not caught her in time, she would have definitely died miserably.
It had to be known that the Blackman Demon Python was a high-level demon warrior with the most intense venom. The venom would corrode the T-3 armor and cause it to melt in just a few seconds.
“Zhou Hao, thank you!” She turned around and thanked him sincerely.
“What’s there to be polite about? After all, didn’t you already promise to become my wife?” Zhou Hao smiled.
This time, Xu Ling did not glare at Zhou Hao again.
Zhang Yi said, “Xu Ling, Zhou Hao, in our biology materials class, our teacher once said that there are rare plants near the Blackman Demon Python. There might be treasures in the pool.”
Plop.
As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Zhou Hao jumped into the pool without hesitation.
“Be careful!” Xu Ling couldn’t help but remind worriedly.
Swoosh.
Not long after, Zhou Hao emerged from the depths of the pool. He laughed and said, “Zhang Yi, good thing you paid attention in biology materials class. As expected, I found a treasure. It’s the Ice Needle Mushroom!”
“What? It’s actually the Ice Needle Mushroom?!”
Xu Ling and Zhang Yi were both stunned, but soon, their faces revealed excitement.
The Ice Needle Mushroom was a precious plant with a rare plant spirit.
As long as it was a plant spirit, it would have an extremely powerful medicinal effect. It was a hundred times more valuable than the Purple Leaf Earth Ginseng, the Green Lattice Grass, and the Red Blood Fruit.
Plant spirits were true natural treasures!
“Zhou Hao, quick, look at how many blood-colored lines are on the back of this Ice Needle Mushroom?!” Xu Ling seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked.
Zhou Hao also reacted and turned the Ice Needle Mushroom over. “There are three blood-colored lines!”
Xu Ling immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said excitedly, “That’s great. Not only does the Ice Needle Mushroom with two blood-colored lines not have any medicinal effect, but it’s also extremely poisonous. However, the three blood-colored lines are the best plant spirits. After consuming it, one can advance to a high-level master in a short period of time!”
Zhou Hao swam to the edge of the pool and went ashore with a smile. “In that case, we’ll definitely win this time!”
Zhang Yi nodded heavily. “Although this Ice Needle Mushroom only has three blood-colored lines and has not fully matured, its value is definitely far greater than the 18 resources we discovered before. Moreover, plant spirits are extremely rare. We were lucky to encounter one.”
“That Fang Yu probably isn’t as lucky!”
Xu Ling’s smile widened. “Fang Yu will definitely lose this time!”
Zhou Hao shook his head and said, “I originally wanted the Green Lattice Grass for the bet, but I didn’t expect us to obtain the Ice Needle Mushroom. The Green Lattice Grass is insignificant now. However, it’s still not bad to be able to see Fang Yu suffer!”
Xu Ling and Zhang Yi couldn’t help but laugh when they heard this.
…
In the depths of Area 251.
Fang Yu, Lei Jinpeng, and the other Yanjing genius teams were still searching, and their faces were filled with joy.
“The wilderness area after the beast wave attack is really filled with gold. The military leader of Huadong City is really generous to let the students participate!” Lei Jinpeng said with a relaxed tone.
Fang Yu smiled faintly and said, “The overall strength of the Huadong City is relatively weak. All the high schools don’t even have a single martial artist. The military leaders probably want to take this opportunity to increase the students’ strength. After all, the future of a city depends on the students!”
Yun Yan nodded and said softly, “Commander Zhao and the others are still willing to do something for the city. Just one this point alone, they are much better than the higher-ups of the Yanjing City.”
Yuan Cheng shook his head and said, “The social statuses in Yanjing City are indeed severely fixed, but this is only natural when the city has developed to a certain extent. Huadong City is still in the development stage, so it’s naturally flourishing.”
“Brother Yuan is right.” Another thin boy who had a depressed personality spoke up in agreement.
Lei Jinpeng placed the saber on his shoulder. “No matter what, we’ve gained a lot this time. Some of them are also helpful to our strength. We should be able to increase our strength to a high-level martial artist when we return!”
Fang Yu narrowed her eyes. “I wonder how Xu Ling’s team is doing. I noticed previously that they seem to be heading towards Area 268. That place is even farther away than ours.”
“So what if it’s far? Some resources are very difficult to discover without rich experience!” Lei Jinpeng was full of confidence as he said indifferently, “Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong this time!”
