From a country cook to a master chef

The snake-man twisted its snake-like body, clinging to the ground, its arms swinging, propelling its massive body to writhe and crawl, its gaping maw lunging towards Lin Jue's head.

Liu Ruyan wanted to stop her, but the distance was too far and it was too late.

At the critical moment, Sun Guo reacted quickly, snatched the spear from his junior brother's hand, took a deep breath, and sped off with all his might. The moment the spear hit the ground, he used the powerful momentum to leap into the air and collide with the snake-man.

He reacted quickly, taking the opportunity to climb onto the snake-man's back, hooking his feet around the snake-man's waist and abdomen, and unleashing the Pine Crane Long Fist to smash the snake-man's head again and again.

"Third senior brother, I'm here to help you!"

Another martial arts disciple, carrying a long sword, shouted and was about to step forward to help when, in the chaos, he was struck in the calf by a huge snake tail and hit on the back of the head, immediately losing consciousness.

Seeing another junior brother injured, Sun Guo panicked and lost his focus, only to be forcefully thrown away by the snake-man.

Just as Liu Ruyan dragged her unconscious junior brother out of the battle, the snake-man turned around and stared at her, hissing angrily.

Taking advantage of the snake-man's distraction, Sun Guo, having caught his breath, picked up the weapon on the ground, leaped into the air, and swung his long sword at the snake-man's head. Unexpectedly, the scales on its neck were as hard as iron, and instead of harming it, the sword broke, completely enraging the snake-man.

When the decapitation attempt failed, Sun Guo slid in under the snake-man's belly. Before he could swing his knife, the snake-man grabbed his ankle, slammed him to the ground repeatedly, then threw him into the air, whipping his tail into the forest. His fate was unknown.

Facing the remaining two, the snake-man's scales opened and closed like a peacock's tail, emitting a crimson halo. Combined with the eerie sound of the scales rubbing together as they opened and closed, Liu Ruyan's eyes instantly became empty under the snake's gaze, and she began to attack the person beside her in a daze.

Lin Jue slowly stood up. Just as the snake-man was charging at him again, he activated the Spirit Summoning Seal once more. The snake-man's body stiffened and he instantly fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Jue suddenly flung out the spirit beast pouch at his waist, betting his life on the black snake inside.

Previously at the Zhao residence, he had attempted to subdue the Crimson Scale Python, leaving traces of the Spirit-Controlling Gourd Water within its body. Now, he could use the control effect of the Spirit-Controlling Seal to briefly manipulate the snake-man's body.

However, the time was frighteningly short.

In less than three seconds, the snake-man on the ground came back to life.

Please!

Lin Jue silently prayed that the mutated black snake wouldn't let him down.

The black snake fell out of the spirit beast pouch, still coiled up, showing no signs of waking up.

Lin Jue's face darkened. Enduring the fatigue from the constant onslaught on his brain, he activated the Spirit Control Seal once more. This time, however, his target was the mutated black snake.

The snake-man roared and swung his snake tail, sending rocks flying all around and raising snow from the ground like dust that blotted out the sun.

It didn't understand why it had fallen into that state of feeling disconnected from its body so many times in a row, and could only blame it on Lin Jue, who had made it into its current state.

Snowflakes danced in the air as the snake-man darted through the falling snow, circling Lin Jue, searching for an opportunity to strike.

The reason snakes are struck at their seven-inch mark is because that's where their heart and other vital organs are located. Snake people don't have a seven-inch mark; their upper body weaknesses are no different from ordinary people.

Lin Jue stared intently at his surroundings, pondering how to deal with the snake-men. He activated the Spirit Seal to control the snake-men three times in a row, but he felt his body was being hollowed out and he was about to collapse at any moment.

His strong survival instinct caused a rapid release of adrenaline in his body.

As his breathing and heartbeat quickened, Lin Jue felt his whole body brimming with power, and he unconsciously gripped the water bag at his waist.

The snake-man that was moving rapidly in the field of vision seemed to slow down.

It's now!

Lin Jue's hair stood on end and his pupils dilated instantly. He seized the opportunity to splash out the Spirit-Controlling Gourd Water.

The snake-man was surprised, never expecting that Lin Jue could accurately find him hidden in the flying snow.

Unable to suppress its primal instincts any longer, it roared and lunged at Lin Jue, spraying venom from its mouth the instant it was close.

While dodging the venom, Lin Jue recklessly activated the Spirit Control Seal.

This is a fight to the death.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, two halos, one black and one white, flew out from the stars that lit up on the back of the Spirit Summoning Seal, enveloping and awakening the sleeping Three-Clawed Ink Dragon.

As the snake-man's gaping maw loomed about to strike, Lin Jue's pupils contracted. Between them, two yin-yang fish, one on the left and one on the right, emitted black and white light, their eyes locked on the snake-man.

The snake-man lost control of his body and stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

good chance!

Driven by Lin Jue's consciousness, the mutated black snake quickly climbed onto the snake-man's body, opened its mouth and bit at his eyeball, then burrowed into the snake-man's eye socket.

The snake-man, writhing in pain and going mad, broke free from the control of the Linjue Spirit Seal. His body twisted and turned, and he frantically rammed into the surrounding trees, trying to force out the foreign object from his head.

The mutated black snake entered the snake-man through his left eye, ate his left eye, then his right eye, and then targeted his brain. The toxins it released quickly invaded the snake-man's flesh and nerves.

Blood flowed from the snake-man's empty eye sockets. The excruciating pain in its head drove it to frantically scratch its ears and cheeks, tearing its facial muscles apart, and its ears fell to the ground.

The mutated black snake entered the snake-man's body through the esophagus, intending to swallow the snake gall bladder whole. However, it received a signal from Lin Jue to stop it, and instead bit into the snake-man's heart with its sharp fangs, wantonly sucking the heart's blood inside.

Boom!

The snake-man's massive body slowly descended amidst the swirling snowflakes, crashing heavily onto the snow-covered ground in front of Lin Jue, its empty eyes staring directly at him.

The snake's tail landed, kicking up snow like ocean waves, knocking down and burying Liu Ruyan and the other two.

Lin Jue's body trembled, his consciousness gradually blurred, and just as he was about to faint, he braced his hands on the snake's head.

"Don't sleep! You can't sleep now!"

With unwavering willpower, Lin Jue finally waited until the mutated black snake emerged from the snake-man's head, its tail coiled around an oval-shaped golden object the size of a fist.

Red-scaled python gallbladder!

Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed the remaining spirit-serving gourd water in one gulp. The snake gall tasted bitter at first, then sweet, and a cool, stimulating sensation rushed straight to the top of his head, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes, clench his fists, and contort his face.

After a unique sensation of tingling scalp and goosebumps, Lin Jue's discomfort vanished completely.

He felt more refreshed than ever before, as if he had been reborn.

The novel is true; consuming the flesh and blood of demonic beasts can indeed transform one's body, making it comparable to precious medicinal herbs and spiritual plants.

Lin Jue took a deep breath and opened his arms to feel the exhilaration of surviving a disaster.

The next second, his gaze fell on the mutated black snake coiled on the snake-man's corpse.

It seems that the more powerful the monster, the greater the benefits one would gain from consuming its flesh and blood...

Sensing something was off about the boss's gaze, the mutated black snake twisted its body and burrowed into the spirit beast pouch, not forgetting to extend its tail to tighten the pouch's opening.

"..."

Lin Jue was slightly taken aback, then smiled and ran to rescue his senior brothers and sisters who were buried under the snow.

Several people were seriously injured and remained unconscious.

After observing for a long time, he dragged the group to an open area, lit a fire around them for defense, and then used his broken knife to cut off the legs of four gray wolves. After cleaning them up quickly, he put them on the fire to roast.

Smoke rises in wisps, the wind rustles through the trees like rolling waves, and the sound of the wind, along with the rustling of the trees, plays in the ears of the forest dwellers.

"Ha, ha, ha ha ha ha!"

Looking at the snake corpse beside him, Lin Jue, who had miraculously survived, couldn't help but hum the "Great Sage Song".

The song echoed above Wolf Smoke Valley, and at that moment, he felt like a great sage himself.

The Crimson Scale Python, after being possessed and fused by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is comparable to a second-tier demonic beast!

Such a being, however, fell at his hands.

He feels incredibly strong right now!

Suddenly, just as he got up to turn over the roasted wolf meat, a flying sword came whistling from the forest. He dodged to the side, but the sword grazed past him, cutting a bloody gash.

Aura Master!
