Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Chapter 62, Seventh-Order Poison Attribute Magic Core; Devouring a Seventh-Order Magical Beast! [Seeking First Subscription] (10/10)

Xiao Qing gave her a quick look and, after confirming that Queen Medusa was injured but not seriously hurt, replied, "I was teleported to a desert, killed a few fifth or sixth-tier magical beasts, and have been searching for a way out."

Xiao Qing glossed over his experiences, making no mention of the old doctor's slumber or the golden book.

"I sensed energy fluctuations just now. I didn't expect it to be you fighting a seventh-tier magical beast here."

Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes.

"The magical beasts here seem to be particularly hostile to outsiders, and they will fight to the death as soon as they meet."

Queen Medusa paused for a moment, then made an important discovery: "Furthermore, their intelligence seems to be much lower than that of the magical beasts in the outside world."

Logically speaking, a fifth-tier magical beast should possess intelligence no less than that of a human child.

Sixth-tier magical beasts can speak human language and their intelligence is no less than that of humans!

And seventh-tier magical beasts can even transform into human form!

But those two seventh-tier poisonous scorpions only knew how to attack savagely based on instinct.

They lacked even the most basic tactical coordination, which is unimaginable to outsiders.

Xiao Qing looked around, sensing the faint aura of destruction permeating the air, and pondered: "Perhaps—it's because this small world is on the verge of collapse, and the long-term pervasive aura of destruction has eroded their souls, leaving them mentally unstable."

Xiao Qing recalled his experiences over the past few days and indeed found that the magical beasts here were exceptionally ferocious, completely unlike the intelligent creatures outside who knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm.

This discovery left both of them deep in thought.

If all the monsters here are like this, then perhaps we can exploit this weakness.

But this also means that the situation in this small world is worse than they imagined, and they must find a way out as soon as possible.

How badly are you injured?

Xiao Qing frowned slightly as he looked at Queen Medusa's pale face.

"It's nothing, I just suffered some minor injuries due to excessive consumption of my battle qi."

Queen Medusa shook her head slightly, but her trembling fingertips betrayed her weakness.

After battling two seventh-tier magical beasts in succession, even she had reached her limit.

Xiao Qing took out a fragrant pill from his storage ring and handed it to Queen Medusa, saying, "This is a Grade 5 Qi-restoring pill; it should be useful to you."

Queen Medusa was slightly taken aback. Looking at Xiao Qing's calm face, she hesitated for a moment before accepting the pill.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and its pure medicinal power quickly replenished Queen Medusa's depleted battle qi, restoring some rosiness to her pale complexion.

Thank you.

Queen Medusa spoke softly, her tone tinged with complexity.

Once upon a time, she was the high and mighty Queen Medusa, but now she has to rely on this human boy whom she once regarded as a threat.

At this moment, Xiao Qing's gaze fell on the two venomous green scorpion corpses that were as big as small mountains not far away, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

A seventh-tier magical beast is a treasure trove; even though it has lost its life force, its emerald green carapace still gleams with a metallic luster.

The remaining poisonous gas formed a faint green haze around the corpse, and even the air itself hissed as it was corroded.

"Do you need this magical beast? I can trade you some pills for it."

Xiao Qing turned to Queen Medusa and made a calm suggestion.

Although he had just offered his help, Xiao Qing always kept his cultivation resources separate.

Queen Medusa's pale purple eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the two corpses that exuded a terrifying aura.

The corpse of a seventh-tier magical beast is indeed priceless, whether it's its hard shell or its tail hook containing deadly poison.

Whether it's other parts or other components, they are all excellent materials for crafting high-level weapons and elixirs.

However, Queen Medusa made her decision quickly.

What Queen Medusa needs most now is to regain her strength as soon as possible.

And to find a way to leave this crumbling little world.

Instead of these time-consuming materials.

Moreover, if Xiao Qing hadn't intervened in time, Queen Medusa would likely be in grave danger.

"It is of no use to me; you may take it if you wish."

Queen Medusa parted her red lips slightly, her voice still carrying a hint of coldness, but less of her usual aloofness.

"As for the pills, there's no need. Consider it repayment for the favor you did for me earlier."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, Your Majesty!"

Without further hesitation, Xiao Qing strode toward the two enormous corpses.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the terrifying aura that lingers even after the death of a seventh-tier magical beast.

The foul-smelling poisonous gas rushed towards them, but it was blocked by a layer of light golden battle aura that automatically appeared around Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing pointed his fingers like a knife, and crimson-gold battle qi condensed at his fingertips, forming an incomparably sharp energy blade.

Xiao Qing precisely located the weakest connection point of the Poisonous Jade Scorpion Head Armor and lightly flicked his wrist!

The hard helmet, which was strong enough to withstand the full force of a Dou Zong expert, was easily cut open like tofu.

The movements were so skillful it was astonishing, as if they had done it countless times before.

Soon, Xiao Qing took out two magic cores, each about the size of a fist and a deep emerald green.

The magic core felt icy cold to the touch, as if viscous venom was slowly flowing inside, radiating a terrifyingly violent energy fluctuation.

"A seventh-tier poison-attribute magic core, truly extraordinary."

Xiao Qing carefully examined the magic core in his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

If this thing were to be taken outside, it would be enough to drive countless alchemists and poison masters mad.

Xiao Qing carefully put the two magic cores into his storage ring.

Now comes the main event.

Xiao Qing held his breath and focused his mind, his soul power like the most precise carving knife, slowly probing into the venom sac below the neck of the poisonous green scorpion's corpse.

That place is where the essence of the poisonous jade scorpion's lifelong cultivation is gathered. If one is not careful, one may ingest the poison. Even a Dou Zong expert would not dare to touch it lightly.

Under Xiao Qing's precise control, two strands of the purest, almost dark green, essence of poison were slowly extracted.

This process was extremely mentally taxing, and Xiao Qing even had beads of sweat on his forehead.

A moment later, Xiao Qing successfully extracted two egg-sized, deep, abyss-like emerald-green venomous sources and quickly sealed them in specially made jade bottles.

The seventh-tier primordial poison of the Green Scorpion is extremely potent and pure. For Little Fairy Doctor, who possesses the Calamity Poison Body, it is an excellent cultivation resource, enough to rapidly increase her strength in a short period of time.

Xiao Qing looked at the jade bottle in his hand, a hint of consideration flashing in his eyes.

This "investment" may bring you an incredibly powerful ally in the future.

After dealing with the most precious magic core and the source of poison, Xiao Qing looked at the remaining two enormous corpses, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Under the horrified gaze of Queen Medusa, the space in front of Xiao Qing suddenly began to distort!

A pitch-black vortex, roughly ten feet in size, appeared out of thin air!

The vortex was so deep it was unsettling, with subtle ripples of space around its edges, and its center seemed to connect to endless nothingness.

Even more shocking is that the vortex is not simply emitting suction!

Rather, it is a more fundamental, terrifying force that seems to devour everything and reduce everything to nothingness. "This is—the power of space? No!!"

Queen Medusa's pupils contracted sharply, and her delicate body instinctively took a half step back.

With her Dou Zong strength, she could vaguely sense the level of power contained in the vortex, which far exceeded the scope of ordinary spatial power.

The suction force generated by the dark vortex was irresistible, and the two venomous green scorpion corpses on the ground, which were as big as small mountains, were easily sucked into it!
