At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

Unlike the snake demon that was an enlarged version of a venomous snake earlier, this snake demon was half-human and half-bodied.

Her upper body resembled that of a human woman, with long, dark green hair that looked like water plants on a river surface. She had a slender waist, was plump and wealthy, and was generous.

On either side of its eerie face, there are some fine, pale green scales with a slight pinkish tinge.

Its features are three-dimensional, but its eyes are not round pupils, but cold vertical pupils.

Its lower body was similar to the snake demon from before, with a snake tail several meters long, covered with large patches of light green scales.

At this moment, the tails of the two snake demons intertwined, as if they were courting and reproducing.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot!

Seeing that both snake demons were at their most relaxed, Mu Yang took a step forward, his powerful true energy surging in his hand, and a ten-foot-long wind blade flew past the male snake demon's head.

In an instant, the thick snake head, still tinged with a faint pink, shot skyward.

Blood sprayed all over the half-snake demon, startling her so much that she trembled and stood frozen in place.

............

Ignoring the notification from the solidified equipment, Mu Yang continued his ascent, taking off and heading straight for the remaining half-bodied snake demon.

Strands of radiant golden energy flowed into his palm, activating both the Spider Spear and the Sharp Golden Tiger Claw simultaneously, causing a dark metallic luster to emanate from the fingertips of his right hand.

Seeing Mu Yang charging towards them, the blood-covered half-snake demon screamed.

His bare chest suddenly swelled up.

The next second, a thick, dark green liquid spurted from its mouth.

Demon Blood Spell: Bone-Corroding Serpent Venom!

Faced with the venom sprayed from the snake, Mu Yang neither dodged nor avoided it. With a slight clench of his free left hand, a blue water sphere instantly took shape.

Entry: Water Jet!

Entry: Water Control - Water Dragon!

A miniature water dragon, ten feet long, shot out from Mu Yang's palm and bit the venom sprayed by the half-snake demon.

The venom was highly toxic, and the mini water dragon turned cloudy and greenish at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But Mu Yang didn't care.

With a wave of his left hand, the color-changing water dragon plunged into the swamp and disappeared.

Mu Yang, undeterred, rushed to the half-snake demon's side and, with a sharp slap, pierced the demon's abdomen with his right hand.

"ah!!!"

The half-snake demon let out a painful howl.

It opened its mouth, whether to fight back or beg for mercy, but Mu Yang was quick-witted and reached out his left hand to grab its throat.

All that remained were indistinct sobs and groans.

"Stay still! Don't move!"

Mu Yang gave a low shout, and the half-snake demon, upon hearing it, seemed to realize something and actually stopped struggling.

Ignoring the pain in its abdomen, it bent slightly, tilting its soft peaks forward, a fawning smile playing on its lips.

It knew that some male humans had a particular fetish: they liked to keep half-human, half-demon creatures that resembled humans but were not entirely human.

Although being kept in captivity is very restrictive, it would rather be kept in captivity than die.

Since human lifespan is limited, if it tries hard, it might have a chance to regain its freedom.

However, just as it was lost in thought, a tremendous force suddenly came from its neck.

"Snap—!!"

The sound of bones cracking came from its neck.

The next second, its head, filled with resentment and confusion, rolled off its slender neck.

Until the moment of his death, the half-serpent demon still didn't understand what had happened.

If you're going to kill it, why not just do it directly?

Why are you choking it by the neck to stop it from moving?

[Ding! Detected that the host has slain a fourth-tier snake demon. The equipment (Qi-Strengthening Pill/Pulse-Protecting Pill/Qi-Replenishing Pill/Detoxifying Pill) meets the conditions for permanent solidification. This equipment has been permanently solidified!]

Current number of available equipment slots: 4

............

"Luckily, I was quick and managed to equip four more pieces of gear."

Mu Yang looked at the four additional notifications and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

That's right. The reason he didn't kill the half-snake demon directly was to create another wave of equipment solidification.

He had prepared himself for the half-snake demon to resist fiercely, and for him to simply crush it to death out of desperation.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so cooperative, actually waiting there obediently for him to equip himself.

In the past, demons either fought desperately or begged for mercy, and this was the first time he had ever seen one that obediently waited to die.

This is truly something I've never seen before.

"If every monster were as cooperative as you, it would save me trouble, and you would all die a quick death."

Mu Yang put the two snake demon heads into his sleeve pocket, and then put the two headless snake demon corpses into his equipment slot.

[Ding! The snake demon corpse has been equipped!]

............

[Equipable Item: Serpent Demon Corpse (Complete)]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ① Robust Physique (Blue):............

② Abundant Qi and Blood (Blue):.........

③ Softness and suppleness (blue): The flexibility of one's own muscles and bones is greatly improved, enabling one to perform more movements that are difficult for ordinary people to do.

④ Corrosive Serpent Venom (Blue): Consumes True Qi to spray corrosive venom that damages skin, flesh, and meridians. If activated with Wood-attribute True Qi, True Qi consumption is greatly reduced, and the attack's power is significantly increased. / ④ Toxin Resistance (Blue): Greatly reduces the negative effects of toxins of level four and below.

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for 100 days, or slay any fourth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

............

The descriptions of the two snake demon corpses were almost identical, both possessing the three blue attributes: robust physique, abundant qi and blood, and supple strength and flexible bones.

The only difference is that the fourth attribute of the half-bodied snake demon is blue, bone-corroding snake venom, while the fourth attribute of the giant snake demon is poison resistance.

The former is spraying toxins, the latter is resisting toxins.

They do seem to complement each other somewhat.

With the equipment from the two snake demon corpses, Mu Yang's strength increased by another 60000 jin.

His single-arm strength has reached 820,000 jin (410 kg).

The true energy also increased by 1500 strands, all of which were used to refine the fifth major meridian.

Including the progress made in the previous refinement, it has been about one-tenth completed.

It happened faster than he had expected.

After equipping the snake demon's corpse, Mu Yang glanced at the remaining Tier 4 items.

Armor, weapons, pills, martial arts techniques, pouches...

Armor and weapons were directly excluded by Mu Yang because the effects of these two types of items can only be triggered when armor is worn and weapons are used.

In terms of martial arts skills, fourth-tier martial arts skills, unless they are external martial arts, do not have much effect on him.

So, Mu Yang put the three weapons into the enhancement material slot and held a small white-quality pouch in his palm.
