High Martial Arts: Become a God by Spending Money, Start by Spending All Your Compensation Funds

He had originally planned to slowly gather all the materials, but now he dared not delay at all.

If he waits for the snake king to return, he will be trapped in this narrow cave with no room to maneuver. Once the snake king is enraged, he will not even have a chance to escape.

Lin Yun strode to the crevice in the rock wall, quickly took out a small wooden box, carefully dug away the soil with the tip of a knife, and placed the entire Golden Glow Grass, along with the soil, into the box. He then closed the lid tightly, stuffed it into the inner bag, and carefully kept it close to his body.

He then turned and pounced back onto the stone platform, targeting only the three peak-level first-tier golden-scaled snakes. Their scales, tendons, and gallbladders were all valuable and hard-to-find items.

His movements were so fast that they were just afterimages. In the blink of an eye, three complete scales and three sets of snake tendons and gallbladders were stuffed into a waterproof bag.

As for the remaining five late-stage Tier 1 snake corpses, he didn't even glance at them.

With his backpack on and Bloodfang Knife in hand, Lin Yun didn't hesitate for a moment before turning around and sprinting towards the cave entrance at full speed.

When he activated the Wind Step to its fullest extent, his figure became a blur in the passage, and the slippery rock walls did not slow him down at all.

Within ten seconds, the light from the cave entrance came into view.

As soon as Lin Yun rushed out of the cave, his pupils suddenly contracted the moment he looked up.

A massive golden figure was rapidly approaching from the dense forest four or five hundred meters away.

The snake, a meter thick, crashed through the bushes and saplings blocking its path. Its body was faintly glowing with a violent purple light, clearly indicating that it had sensed something amiss in its nest and had already entered a state of semi-rage.

The enormous snake head was raised high, its scarlet vertical pupils filled with rage, and the ferocious oppressive aura of a second-tier beast could be clearly felt even from hundreds of meters away.

As expected, it is a snake king carrying the gene of rage!

Lin Yun felt a chill run down his spine, but then felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, I was cautious enough to anticipate the snake king's bloodline characteristics based on the raging state of the golden-scaled snake, and I decisively abandoned the remaining materials and withdrew in advance.

If it had been half a minute later, and the snake king had blocked the entrance, trapping him in the narrow snake cave with no way out, that would have been a true death sentence.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yun poured all his qi and blood into his legs, his figure transforming into a blur as he raced off in the opposite direction from the Snake King.

The forest is lush with foliage and has a complex terrain. The snake king is too big to be agile. If it can just go deep into the mountains and circle around a few times, it might be able to shake off this big trouble.

Lin Yun kept running, sprinting as fast as he could, while reaching into the side pocket of his backpack with one hand and pulling out a small bottle of light gray medicine.

He popped the cork off the bottle with his thumb and then sprinkled the medicine into the grass behind him.

The fine medicinal powder dispersed in the wind, instantly blending into the surrounding scent of herbs and trees.

This is a scent disruptor that can confuse the sense of smell of strange beasts. As long as you can temporarily escape the snake king's sight, you can usually shake off its tail by using the powder as a cover.

But the next second, Lin Yun's brows furrowed even more.

The sound of breaking grass and trees behind them did not diminish; instead, it grew closer and closer.

In its semi-enraged state, the Golden Scale Serpent King moved much faster than expected. Its body, as thick as a bucket, slithered along the ground at breakneck speed. Thick tree trunks could not stop it, nor could sharp rocks hinder it. Its enormous body was surprisingly agile, and the distance between them was rapidly decreasing.

Let alone getting out of sight, in a few dozen breaths, the snake king will probably catch up with us.

Lin Yun quickly made a mental calculation.

Luring them to the territory of other second-tier beasts?

He nipped the idea in the bud as soon as it popped into his head.

The Five Dragons Mountain area is the activity range of first-tier exotic beasts. This Golden Scale Serpent King is an anomaly. If it weren't for the fact that the Rotten Rat's map marked it, ordinary hunters would never have been able to find that hidden serpent's den.

To find other Tier 2 beasts, we need to venture deeper into the wilderness. Who knows how many dangers lurk there? If we encounter more than one Tier 2 beast, our situation will only be worse than it is now.

Since we can't escape, let's fight.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"System, exchange for a bottle of Tier 1 Combat Stimulant."

"Ding! 300,000 Dragon Kingdom Coins have been consumed. Tier 1 Combat Stimulant has been issued to your backpack."

He prepared for this operation for five full days and had set aside enough reserve funds.

Lin Yun took out a silver-white medicine bottle, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

The spicy medicinal liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, instantly transforming into a violent surge of heat that exploded throughout his body.

His blood and energy surged suddenly, his veins bulged slightly, his muscles surged with power, and even his senses became more acute.

The combat stimulant takes effect, doubling combat power within half an hour.

Lin Yun abruptly stopped, turned around, gripped his knife, and faced the pursuing Golden Scale Serpent King.

Almost simultaneously, a massive snake head swept in with a foul stench, its fangs gleaming with a chilling purple light, and it lunged at Lin Yun's head.

Lin Yun used his Wind Step to slide sideways, narrowly avoiding the attack, and then slashed down fiercely along the side of the snake's head with his Blood Fang Blade.

With a crisp clang, the blade struck the snake king's scales, leaving only a shallow white mark, without even breaking through the outer skin.

Lin Yun's pupils contracted slightly.

Such hard scales!

The scales of a first-tier peak Golden Scale Serpent are already tough enough, but the scales of this second-tier Serpent King are even more incredibly strong. Even with the boost of combat stimulants, ordinary slashes can't even break through its defenses.

The Golden Scale Serpent King, enraged by its missed attack, became even more furious.

The thick snake tail swept out horizontally with a sharp whistling sound, snapping the surrounding saplings in half.

Lin Yun leaped into the air, his toes touching the snake's tail to propel himself forward, and then slashed down with his Blood Fang Blade toward the snake's eyes.

The snake king suddenly tilted its head and rammed the blade with the hard armor on its forehead.

Another clang of metal rang out, and Lin Yun felt a numbness in his hand. He was thrown backward by the shock, tumbling in the air before landing. He took three steps back to regain his balance.

He looked down at the blade, where a small nick had appeared.

The subsequent encounters were even more one-sided.

The Golden Scale Serpent King already possessed the base health and mana of the early second-tier level, and with the amplification from its semi-rage state, its strength and defense far surpassed Lin Yun's.

Every bite and every tail sweep it delivered was filled with immense force. Lin Yun could only rely on the agility of his Wind Steps to dodge, occasionally managing to find an opportunity to counterattack, but he could only leave shallow marks on the scales.

Dust filled the forest, and trees snapped one after another.

Lin Yun's figure weaved through the golden snake shadows, seemingly with ease, but in reality, every step was fraught with danger.

The snake's tail swept past his back, the force of the wind it generated stinging his skin.

The Bloodfang Knife in his hand had more and more chips, and the edge of the blade was pitted and uneven, long since losing the smoothness it had when he first got it.

Lin Yun knew in his heart that this dragging on was not a solution.

The snake king's entire body is covered in hard scales, and its only weakness, its eyes, is also extremely well protected, making it impossible to find a fatal opportunity to strike.

His gaze fell on the numerous nicks and welts on the blade, and suddenly an idea struck him.

The blood groove of the Blood Fang Knife is coated with an active crystal nucleus coating that can absorb blood crystals and repair cracks.

A bold and adventurous plan instantly took shape in his mind.

Lin Yun stopped protecting the blade and instead deliberately slashed at the snake king's scales.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

After several head-on clashes, the Bloodfang Blade's chipped edge grew larger and larger until finally, the tip of the blade shattered completely, leaving jagged, uneven edges and rendering it utterly incapable of stabbing.

Taking advantage of the snake king's tail sweep, Lin Yun parried with his sword.

With a loud bang, he deliberately lost his strength, and the broken knife slipped from his hand, landing diagonally in the mud not far away.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Scale Serpent King's scarlet vertical pupils flashed with a hint of human-like contempt.

Without soldiers, humans are no different from wild beasts with their teeth pulled.

It let out a low hiss, and its attack suddenly became more ferocious. Its huge serpentine body pressed forward step by step, its fangs snapping as it tried to tear the human who had broken into its nest and killed its children to shreds.

Lin Yun, unarmed, relied solely on his Wind-Stepping Step and Breaking Fist to maneuver and dodge.

He retreated quickly, seemingly dodging in a disheveled manner, but in reality, he was inching closer to the direction where the broken sword had fallen.

He deliberately created an opening, staggered half a step, and stopped right next to the broken sword.

As expected, the Golden Scale Serpent King seized the opportunity, its mouth opening wide, a foul stench wafting out as it viciously bit down on Lin Yun's upper body.

It didn't take the broken knife seriously at all; the tip was shattered, and even if it picked it up, it wouldn't hurt it in the slightest.

It's now!

At the critical moment, Lin Yun suddenly ducked down and grabbed the broken knife from the ground with his right hand.

He flipped his wrist, turning the notch of the broken knife upwards, and stabbed it fiercely into the snake's mouth.
