Origin Paradise!

Unwilling to be bound, the white snake opened its blood-red maw and spewed out billowing white smoke containing venom.

"Don't have a long memory."

The young Qi cultivator sneered, then formed another hand seal, and a fire snake flew out from behind him, the flames evaporating the white mist completely.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the balance of power quickly shifted.

At the village's central intersection, Jiang He arrived at the scene, immediately attracting the soldiers' attention.

The young Qi cultivator looked wary.

"who are you!"

The thin young man rushed over, seemingly scolding but actually protecting him, saying, "This is a Heavenly-Ranked Venerable, a top-grade martial artist, who is helping us clean up the mess. Quickly deal with this white snake."

"Brother, don't worry, it will only take half an hour."

The young Qi cultivator had no doubts. His sworn brother was deep and thoughtful, considering all aspects of a problem and seeing things more deeply than he did. Since the other party had said so, it must be a sure thing. The two had grown up together and relied on each other since childhood, and had a deep trust in each other.

The siege continued, and the Taoist soldiers gradually cornered the White Snake, while at the same time, the soldiers' losses were also increasing.

"Is everyone here? Don't let a small thing cause a big loss."

Jiang He suddenly spoke.

The thin young man clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "Sir, all but the five who unfortunately died in battle from Squad B have arrived."

"Then let's set off in an orderly fashion, so I don't have to go around catching them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin young man was first puzzled, then looked blank, and finally his expression changed drastically.

Unfortunately, Jiang He's speed was extremely fast. From the moment he drew the Crimson Baptism to the moment he fired it, it was only a moment. A streak of light flew out and shattered the lower half of the young Qi cultivator's body.

Three black gems were thrown out, blocking three intersections. An explosion rose up, and the shockwave caused the fire to get completely out of control, turning the center of the village into a sea of ​​fire. More than twenty people were killed on the spot.

"what have you done!"

The gaunt youth was furious. Seeing that his sworn brother's life was uncertain, he no longer cared about the other's identity. He swung his long axe with great force. This Seven Subduing Demon Axes was once a grandmaster's signature technique, known for its fierce and powerful nature, with the strength increasing step by step.

The axe blow was swift and ruthless, but Jiang He was even faster, leaping into the middle of the crowd and swinging his spear in a wide arc.

Dismembered bodies littered the ground, and blood splattered high in the sky.

The gaunt young man glared angrily at the figure, relentlessly pursuing it.

Jiang He was like a tiger among sheep, wielding his spear wildly, and none could withstand his attack.

"Such an act of massacring a village will surely tarnish the reputation of my Yan family. The eldest son is a man of great wisdom, sending me here. If I cannot keep you here, how will the government explain itself? As for this snake gall, I will gladly accept it."

Jiang He killed two soldiers with a single shot, then turned and continued his charge, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey. During this time, he did not forget to use hypnotic skills to bewitch the mid-level martial artists behind him.

"stop!"

The gaunt man's eyes were bloodshot. If he hadn't been so trusting, his sworn brother would never have died.

Without the Qi cultivator's suppression, the white snake seemed to break free of its restraints, moving wildly across the ground. Its tail whipped around, blasting soldiers into mincemeat, and spewing white mist from its mouth, poisoning several people to death.

Some people, unable to bear the slaughter of the two ferocious beasts, threw down their weapons and rushed straight into the sea of ​​fire, setting themselves ablaze.

"Stop right there!"

The thin young man swung his axe, but to his surprise, the enemy actually stopped.

At his feet lay a Qi cultivator who had lost his lower body. Jiang He activated the Sword Scale Snail Dragon Armor and the Hunting Engine, his attack speed reaching its peak. He bent down and forcefully stuffed two bottles of vitality potions into the Qi cultivator's mouth. Then, he picked up the man's upper body and threw it behind him, unleashing his full internal energy.

The Qi cultivator, who had fallen into shock, was jolted awake by the hidden force. The vitality potion restored some of his life force, but a deep, bone-chilling pain came from the back of his neck, causing him to scream in agony.

"what!"

The long axe fell, and the gaunt young man cleaved the Qi cultivator's head open.

"It is wishful thinking for a fool like you to think you can oppose the young master."

"It's a pity that the eldest young master won't be able to see this scene."

"Young Master..."

"Young Master..."

Jiang He repeatedly activated his hypnotic ability, emphasizing the words "Young Master" over and over again. Hypnosis had little effect on people with strong wills, but the enemy had already broken through his defenses. He planned to use the small dark room to tame the enemy into a wild beast and keep him as a backup. Although he had not yet met the Young Master of the Yan family, the presence of barbarians in both teams was definitely a dangerous sign for Daming Prefecture, a major border town.

The gaunt young man stared blankly at his own hands as the axe fell to the ground with a thud. Realizing that he had killed his sworn brother with his own hands, he stiffly looked up and let out a mournful howl.

The true energy surged and circulated wildly through the body's energy channels according to its daily instincts, producing a slight cracking sound, followed by a second and a third.

The thin young man's momentum gradually increased.

Jiang He grabbed the Everlasting Regret Spear and swung it at close range, striking the other man hard on the back of the head. With a thud, the thin young man fell forward to the ground and lost consciousness.

The unexpected event came to an abrupt end. Jiang He removed the half-dragon armor from his equipment inventory. Since acquiring the sword-scale snail dragon armor, this handcrafted armor had become less effective. He immediately disassembled the dragon tendons, carefully collected the scales, and then bound the prey tightly, stuffing it into his inventory.

"So it's the legendary breakthrough in the heat of battle?"

"So terrifying, it almost ruined everything."

Chapter 114 Dire Wolf King

The night was a deep orange-red, and flames raged over White Snake Village.

Jiang He watched as one humanoid torch after another galloped away and collapsed on the road. He then turned around and patiently blasted the soldiers to pieces one by one, his spears shattering their heads.

There were fifty-six corpses with their upper bodies intact. After a person dies, the activity of the heart's blood will rapidly decline. Jiang He seized the time to absorb the essence and enhance the power of the blood poison.

[Bloodbath Progress Bar: 66%]

[Common-grade Blood Poison: Deals 66% additional poison damage]

The young Qi cultivator died a gruesome death, losing his head and lower body, but his heart's blood still provided someone with two points of progress, which is commendable.

Jiang He used corrosive energy to annihilate it. Looking up, he saw a little girl, not very tall, about 1.45 meters, with a slender figure. She was completely different from the fierce appearance of the white snake. Her golden vertical eyes were devoid of emotion, as if the snake were a cold-blooded animal.

"I want revenge," Zhuang Ya said.

She was badly beaten; her cheek was swollen and red, and blood was flowing from her forehead. Her white clothes were more like snakeskin than clothing, with dozens of holes pierced by spears, leaving her a bloody mess.

Jiang He stroked her chin and asked curiously, "How did you transform from a snake into a human?"

Zhuang Ya fell straight down, like a slender crop that had been cut down. After she lay on the ground, scales appeared all over her body, and her body gradually became soft and elongated. As her demonic power was consumed, her size increased.

"Okay, the longest is twenty meters, the shortest is how much?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ya gradually shrank, eventually transforming into a small white snake about the length of an arm and only as thick as a stick.

Jiang He secretly pondered that this guy seemed a bit naive, and perhaps three hundred years of experience was not a rich experience for a demon.

"If you want revenge, you have roughly three targets: the bandits of Yizhou, the Northern Barbarian tribes, and the Yan family of Daming Prefecture. Coincidentally, I may not be able to deal with them next. You can hire me to try to solve the problem, but the outcome is uncertain."

"How do I hire him?" the little white snake asked in a clear, melodious voice.

Even though cooperation would be the more advantageous option... Jiang He silently judged him as not being very smart.

"Of course, it's gold and silver jewelry."

"I have no gold or silver jewelry."

"Then we can only produce value through labor."

"Can't understand."

"To put it simply, you have to work for me, or be subordinate to me, like a monkey king and his little monkey."

The little white snake nodded. "You are a large snake, and I can become your subordinate."

Jiang He reached out, grabbed the snake's tail, and shook it three times.

[Hint: You have found a new animal companion]

[Hint: Animal Companion effects are now fully enabled]

Jiang He checked the other party's information. Elite-level mutants all have talents, and they are somewhat extreme. For example, the Mountain Spirit's immense strength leads to a low mental strength in this group.

[Name: Demon Race Talent - Rejuvenation]

[Category: Reply]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect ①: High-level poison resistance]

[Effect 2: Horizontal growth, making it easier to increase body length]

[Effect 2: Increases own energy regeneration speed by 30%]

[Effect 3: Consumes a percentage of energy to restore the same percentage of health to the target. The effect is reduced if the target's rank is higher than the user's.]

[Note: This is a non-offensive accessory.]

Jiang He reached out, and the little white snake rose up and landed in her palm. It traveled up her arm and finally coiled around her neck, which was relatively cool.

"You have high poison resistance, so we can practice our combined attack techniques sometime. The toxicity of that white mist isn't enough."

“Okay,” Zhuang Ya replied.

Jiang He activated his initial energy armor and traversed the sea of ​​fire, heading straight to the village entrance to mount his warhorse and prepare to rejoin the caravan. At the same time, he contacted Lao Hei using his fully activated animal companion skill.

……

The far north.

The vast ice field is like a huge silver mirror, shining with a cool and brilliant light under the sun. The endless white stretches to the horizon, and the biting cold wind blows, making an ethereal whistling sound. The snow-capped mountains rise into the clouds, covered with white snow that never melts.

On the icy plains, thousands upon thousands of white wolves howled past, and wherever they went, other animals gave way.

The wolf pack came to the shore of the unfrozen lake to drink. The alpha wolf drank first, and only after he left the lakeside did the white wolves dare to approach.

The pack of wolves huddled together, with a completely black "white wolf" squeezed in the middle, glancing sideways at both sides from time to time.

The alpha wolf strolled over to the "white wolf" and howled.

A pack of white wolves followed closely behind, their howls long and drawn out.

Once the wolf howls subsided, all the white wolves turned their gaze to the one who had remained silent.

The pressure came crashing down on him. Old Hei gave a humane chuckle, cleared his throat, and gave it his all.

“…Woof!”

After a brief silence.

Old Hei lowered his head in shame.

The alpha wolf slowly stepped forward, and the white wolves all retreated, making way for it.

"Awooo, awooo awooo."

"Woof woof woof... woof."

Old Hei's mind raced. He was becoming less and less adept at communicating, so he simply switched it to human language.

"You are different from others."

"No... I don't think so."

"You are draped in darkness, while we are prisoners of the white light."

Old Hei clicked his tongue, somewhat admiring his own high-level translation skills.

"I can't figure out the route to avoid the white light. Please lead your people away from the ice field and to the grasslands."

Old Hei looked blank for a long time, then said, "Brother, do you have snow blindness?"

Seeing that the other party acquiesced, the alpha wolf raised its head and howled once more.

This time, the wolves howled mournfully.

Before Lao Hei could react.

The alpha wolf leaped up and plunged into the unfrozen lake.

Half an hour later, it drowned.

"Oh, brother, there's really no need for this."

Old Hei didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

Among the white wolf pack, the three main members stepped forward, bowed their heads, and submitted.
