1917 Rui Snake City! Little Qing’er! (2)
He could guarantee that there weren’t many cosmos-stage martial warriors among the snake race.
Yet, the one who came out was one.
What kind of luck was this?
Wang Teng’s mind raced with thoughts, and he began considering another plan.
If he were to take on the appearance of this snakeman, would it make things easier?
After all, even if he transformed into a snakeman, entering the city as a stranger might still be challenging.
Wang Teng followed behind the snakeman and flew for more than ten kilometers. He arrived at a valley and prepared to make his move.
This distance should be safe from detection.
As long as he acted swiftly, dealing with a cosmos-stage snakeman shouldn’t be a problem.
However, the next scene made him hesitate for a moment.
“These Cloud Serpent Grass specimens look great. I’m so lucky to find Cloud Serpent Grass today. I’ll bring it back to Little Qing’er. It should help her hold on for several more days,” The snakeman happily muttered to himself.
“This…” Wang Teng suddenly felt a bit hesitant about taking action.
From the snakeman’s words, he could gather that there might be a sick person in this snakeman’s family.
Although the snakemen generally had a hostile attitude towards so-called “outsider humans” like him, there wasn’t any personal enmity between him and these snakemen.
Upon hearing the situation, he couldn’t help but feel some compassion.
So he decided to wait and observe a bit more.
The snakeman seemed to be quite familiar with this valley, walking around and gathering various poisonous plants.
“This snakemen man seems to be an alchemist.” Round Ball said curiously.
“Do you think there might be alchemists among the snakemen?” Wang Teng asked.
“I don’t know. If it’s outside, there will be some. However, it’s hard to say for the natives of Scorpion King Star,” Round Ball replied.
Wang Teng nodded. He didn’t say anything else and continued observing the snakeman.
After some time, he saw two attribute bubbles dropping from the other party.
Wang Teng’s eyes flickered, and his spiritual power quietly extended from underground, reaching out to retrieve the two attribute bubbles.
Poison Skill*120
Poison Skill*150
…
Poison skill! Wang Teng was surprised for a moment. Could this snakeman be a poison master?
The two attribute bubbles gave him 270 points of poison skill attributes. His Poison Master level was already at the master level so normal poison mastery wouldn’t be able to help him. However, the attribute bubbles dropped by this snakeman could continue to enhance his skill, indicating that the snakeman’s proficiency in poison was superior to his.
Poison Master: 1540/10000 (master)
As the attribute bubbles merged into his mind, Wang Teng immediately felt a significant increase in his knowledge of poison. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in understanding the newly acquired information.
“This snakemen must be a poison master. What’s more, he’s at the master level.” Wang Teng opened his eyes. There was a cunning glow in them.
This prey, he would take his time with.
Wang Teng decided not to take action just yet and continued to observe the snakeman from the shadows, waiting to see if he would drop more attribute bubbles.
The snakeman didn’t disappoint him.
While gathering various poisonous plants, he occasionally released one or two attribute bubbles.
Wang Teng picked them up promptly.
Before long, he had collected 680 points of attribute value, significantly boosting his Poison Master attribute.
Poison Master: 2220/10000 (master)
However, towards the end, the attributes dropped by the snake creature decreased. Gradually, it stopped altogether. He had probably reached his limit.
Wang Teng felt a bit disappointed but had no other choice
His proficiency in poison might have surpassed the snakeman’s by now.
After all, they were both at the master level. Wang Teng had absorbed the snakeman’s insights into poison, potentially surpassing him.
Half a day later, the snakeman seemed to have collected enough poisonous plants and even captured some venomous insects like scorpions and centipedes. He was preparing to return.
Wang Teng knew he couldn’t wait any longer. While he empathized with the snakeman, he had his priorities and had to take action. At the very least, he wouldn’t take the snakeman’s life.
He speedily appeared behind the snake creature and launched an attack.
This time, he didn’t use his Force battle technique. Instead, he used his Spirit Battle Technique—Divine Sonicwave!
His spiritual power created vibrations that were sent directly into the snakeman’s ears.
Since Wang Teng was right behind him and at an extremely close range, the snakeman had no time to react.
The spiritual fluctuation caused by the Divine Sonicwave shocked the snakeman. He felt dizzy and couldn’t oppose at all.
Wang Teng moved again, appearing right in front of the snakeman.
“Look at my eyes!”
With the entrancing sound resonating, the snakeman’s gaze instinctively focused on Wang Teng’s eyes.
A crimson light flashed in Wang Teng’s pupils.
Bewitch!
When the skill was activated, the snakeman’s gaze turned blurry. He lost his consciousness instantly.
The other party’s spiritual power wasn’t as powerful as Wang Teng’s so he had no chance of resisting.
“It’s done!” Wang Teng smiled slightly and began to question him
Under the influence of Bewitch, the snake creature answered all questions willingly and truthfully.
Gradually, Wang Teng learned about the snakeman’s identity. His name was Zele and he did hold a significant position among the snakemen. He was a master-level poison master and also an alchemist who had saved the lives of many snakemen, earning him considerable respect and standing within their community.
