Chapter 13 The King Serpent Becomes a Spirit, Upgrading Again

Looking at the chaotic scene, Lu Jin tidied up a bit, destroyed the traces, put on Xiong Yan's hedgehog armor, and threw the broken hunting rifle off the nearby bottomless cliff with a bit of regret.

The two-meter-long ash wood spear was held in Lu Jin's hand, and it felt quite good. It was a pity that he had not yet come into contact with the weapons of Bajiquan.

Weapons are actually extensions of the hands and feet, and most weapon-based martial arts evolved from fist techniques.

Bajiquan, for example, is famous for its Liuhe Spear, whose moves are wide and sweeping, capable of taking a life with a single thrust.

"What a pity, we can't bring such a good thing back with us."

Lu Jin sighed inwardly. He couldn't possibly take these conspicuous spoils back with him, otherwise it would be immediately discovered that he was the one who killed Xiong Yan.

The clan chief's father of Xiong Yan was slightly inferior to Lin Tianzheng, but he was also a master of internal strength.

After all, one cannot become a clan leader without some ability. Back then, Xiong Yan's father was also in his twenties and served as the clan leader of the Miao village while still at the Ming Jin martial arts master stage.

He spent over ten years breaking through the hidden strength barrier, which can be considered a sign of some talent.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin continued to explore Xiong Yan's body, words flashing before his eyes.

[Looting a corpse for 5 minutes will grant you +32 professional experience.]

"The experience gained from Ming Jin martial arts is quite good, but it's a pity he's a poor wretch, and the clan chief's son at that."

Lu Jin scoffed, having not gotten a single silver dollar from Xiong Yan. But then again, who would dare to bring money out to cross Huangquan Mountain at night?

Finding two wooden sticks, Lu Jin skillfully placed them under Xiong Yan's armpits, then gave a strong push, instantly straightening the heavy corpse.

Lu Jin didn't intend to destroy such a useful corpse immediately; of course, he wanted to make the most of it.

Before long, two figures could be seen moving swiftly through the dense forest of Huangquan Mountain. Lu Jin, who was in front, was incredibly fast, and Xiong Yan, supported by his wooden stick, bounced around like a zombie.

He wasn't wearing white mourning clothes, otherwise he would have looked exactly like a corpse-driver.

His proficiency in the corpse-driving technique, which he hadn't practiced for a long time, was rapidly increasing.

[Corpse-driving skill: Mastery (154/500)]

[You spent half an hour transporting corpses, your professional experience increased by 165.]

"It has to be proper corpse transport; the speed at which you gain professional experience is really fast."

In the pitch-black night, Lu Jin's lips curled into a smile. The evening breeze rustled through the branches, making a chilling sound.

Every now and then, the roar of a tiger could be heard, and sometimes Lu Jin even saw several pairs of eerie green eyes. Anyone with a little bit of courage would probably not be able to walk safely in the Yellow Springs Mountain forest.

Following the general directions given by Lin Tianzheng, Lu Jin rushed forward, not knowing how much time it took, and soon arrived at a gloomy and eerie place.

As Lin Tianzheng said, the king cobra likes to live in such places and can build its own nests. Lu Jin, as someone who has received a modern education in the 21st century, naturally knows this characteristic.

On his way here, he observed whether there were any rat snakes or king snakes in the vicinity. If so, it meant that there were king snakes in the vicinity.

Because king cobras eat snakes, they will not live in places where there is no food.

A small stream flowed gently beside them, making a "splashing" sound.

In front of Lu Jin were many hills of varying sizes, with a dazzling starry sky hanging above them.

What a beautiful place nestled between mountains and water.

Throughout history, due to years of war, there have been countless unclaimed graves throughout Huangquan Mountain. Coupled with the evening breeze, Lu Jin couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Even before getting close, he felt a cold air rush from his feet to the top of his head.

In particular, in this land of unclaimed graves, there was one grave with lights shining brightly, incense and candles not yet completely burned out, and scattered pale yellow paper money.

At the top of the tomb, a string of white paper hangings was fluttering in the wind. What made Lu Jin's hair stand on end was that there were also offerings placed in front of it.

Beside the offerings were clusters of white bones.

It's absolutely bizarre!

Lu Jin even considered backing out, knowing that the unified burial place for their Miao village was not here.

This grave has no tombstone and is overgrown with weeds. If ancestors were buried here, those who come to pay their respects would at least erect a tombstone and clear the weeds from the grave.

"This world is truly bizarre."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Jin put Xiong Yan's body down and looked around. Ming Jin martial arts masters have excellent eyesight and can see dozens of meters away even at night.

Lu Jin was carefully checking for any strange things. You know, the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi and the Ghost King of Xiangxi have been passed down orally in their Miao village for many years.

Based on what he had seen and heard during this period, Lu Jin had no doubt that it really existed.

While he was at it, Lu Jin scouted out any King Serpent nests. If not, he would leave this barren land as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, after a brief inspection, Lu Jin saw a huge nest surrounded by withered branches and leaves near the brightly lit tomb.

The size of this nest far exceeded Lu Jin's understanding of the King Serpent, causing him to involuntarily gasp.

It was a full ten square meters, and even at that moment, Lu Jin could hear the huge panting sound, like thunder.

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

In the deathly silent forest, such a sound would be enough to terrify anyone, but fortunately, Lu Jin was confident in his strength.

Before setting off, he consulted Lin Tianzheng.

That king cobra that had become a spirit was probably at what level of human martial arts master?

Lin Tianzheng answered that it was above Ming Jin and below An Jin.

Just as Lu Jin was lost in thought, suddenly, a strange change occurred!

In front of Lu Jin, from the huge nest, a snake head, about the size of a human fist, covered with black scales and flicking a black tongue, suddenly emerged, its two sharp fangs gleaming in the moonlight.

Those snake eyes were bright and piercing. As its body stretched higher and higher, its head stood proudly in the night sky, exuding the aura of a king among snakes.

Holy crap!

Lu Jin gasped, thankful that he hadn't rashly entered; the king cobra before him was truly beyond his comprehension.

Even with only one-fifth of its body protruding, it was already half a head taller than Lu Jin. Roughly estimated, it was over ten meters long, and its thick body was no different from that of a python.

If it bites you, even a god can't save you.

Even a martial arts master with the strength of a Ming Jin wouldn't be able to withstand the beast's venomous fangs. Only those who have truly mastered martial arts and reached the point of being invulnerable to blades and spears would not need to avoid its sharp edge.

"Monsters and spirits roam freely! What kind of world is this?!"

Carrying Xiong Yan's corpse, Lu Jin used his corpse-driving technique to retreat cautiously, but his eyes remained fixed on the direction of the King Serpent.

The mountains were towering and desolate, and although there was certainly more than just one king serpent in Huangquan Mountain, Lu Jin didn't want to wander around anymore.

Here we encountered a strange tomb; who knows what we might encounter elsewhere.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the right moment.

The objective of killing Xiong Yan has been achieved, so let's bring back a King Cobra as soon as possible to complete the mission.

When one's strength is insufficient, one should not enter the Yellow Springs Mountain.

Moreover, such a large king cobra could potentially be traded with Lin Tianzheng for some valuable items if it is put to good use.

Lu Jin licked his lips, looking at the words that flashed across his retina.

[Corpse Driver: LV2 (1343/2000)]

"I wonder what good stuff I can get from this king cobra after leveling up to level 3 and killing it."

In an instant, Lu Jin retreated to a safe area and frantically searched the corpse of Xiong Yan, rapidly increasing his professional experience.

In a short while, Lu Jin had fully accumulated professional experience, and his body seemed to have been sublimated once again.

[Corpse Driver: LV3 (1/3000)]

Strength: 12.7 → 13.1+

Agility: 12.1 → 12.5+

[Spirit: 10.8 → 11.3+]

[Willpower: 10.5 → 10.8+]

Potential Point: 1

[Bajiquan: Ming Jin (203/1000)+]

His attributes increased again, but Lu Jin was not happy at all.

Because at the moment his strength increased, he seemed to feel a cold wind blowing straight into his pores from behind, and he even hallucinated, as if he saw a figure in red.

After his spirit and will were elevated, he seemed to be able to see things that he couldn't see before.

Lu Jin gritted his teeth, his nerves on edge.

Although he didn't know what was lurking deep inside, he only knew that as long as he was strong enough, no demons or monsters could get close.

Great terror?

Give him time, and Lu Jin will become the greatest terror in the world.

A low growl involuntarily escaped from deep within his throat, and the panel rapidly unfolded before his eyes.

"Give me the full strength of Bajiquan! Thank you!"
