The split second after Yang Kai rolled his body to the front, a rattan as thick as a bucket ruthlessly slammed towards Yang Kai's direction.
Had Yang Kai not quickly laid and rolled his body a moment ago, he definitely would have been pulled out by this rattan.
"Hissss… hissss"
Having failed to pull Yang Kai , the rattan's mouth issued a sharp and angry hisss.
The thing that suddenly had sneak-attacked Yang Kai was a shocking giant python.
Not only did the datura snake's sneak attack not hurt Yang Kai , but it actually had been injured in the eyes by the burning wood that was kicked up by Yang kai
As if Yang Kai enraged it, the datura snake's body was suddenly raised high in the air as if it was flying. Its mouth sprayed a mass of scarlet mist that enshrouded the surroundings in a 10 meters' radius. Its body bolted through just like an arrow released straight from a bowstring as it directly flushed toward Yang Kai.
Even though he had held his breath, but Yang Kai still felt a burst of dizziness for a while. The scarlet mist turned out to be highly toxic poison, and didn't even need to enter the body through breathing but could penetrate deeply through the human body skin. He never imagined to be poisoned by the datura snake.
While he was confused, the system replied
["Host have you forgotten, your golden Dragon bloodline is still sealed after the backlash!"]
Yang Kai was no different from ordinary people now, he could only try to predict and guard to take precaution against it. Thus, holding his breath in advance was already very good. But with his current cultivation, he was simply unable to control the pores on his body.
While rolling about and avoiding the datura snake's attack, Yang Kai took out a trident dagger from his backpack which he found earlier in the forest from a corpse of a spirit master and ferociously stabbed toward the beast's back.
Although he had escaped the datura snake's attack once again, but Yang Kai's face had turned extremely ugly.
Although Yang Kai still persisted to shut his mouth and nose, and relied on his willpower to not breathe after intense and fierce movements, but the pores on his body suddenly opened, causing the poison mist in his body to greatly increase.
"Damn! I've got to finish this quickly or else I could die in this place today!" Feeling the toxin spread inside his body, a trace of coldness flashed through Yang Kai's eyes as his mind instantly became sober.
In the next moment, Yang Kai grabbed a lot of medicinal herbs growing in the area.
He quickly chewed the medicinal herbs and also rolled down toward the burning firewood.
While enduring the severe pain from his feet due to the burning firewood, Yang Kai stared at the datura snake with eyes full of fighting spirit.
Previously, Yang Kai came to this area to find a soul beast beast, but he basically didn't calculate the danger and risk brought by the soul beast. And this datura snake was clearly beyond the risk that he had expected, and had even caught him unprepared.
Yang Kai had long been accustomed to having his strength in the 3000 World, giving him the confidence to face any kind of odd and strange monsters. Therefore, he had yet to fully adapt to his current condition as a normal person.
Fortunately, Yang Kai had picked some medicinal herbs with detoxifying effects when he climbed the mountain to prevent him being poisoned. Although these herbs couldn't fully eliminate the highly toxic poison in his body, but it could temporarily suppress it.
The reason as to why Yang Kai was drilling into the bonfire was not because he wanted to torture himself, but because he was forced to do it.
Fire obviously had an expulsion effect towards the poisonous scarlet mist, as there was no scarlet mist around the bonfire. It was simply no different from Yang Kai finding an excellent place to protect himself.
"Hisss! Hisss!"
The datura snake apparently also realized Yang Kai's intention as its tail rolled and ferociously thrashed toward Yang kai
A trace of a cunning light flashed in the Black Python's eyes while Yang kai jumped high in the air to avoid the Python's attack.
With a banging loud sound, the bonfire was suddenly thrown out into the air and not even 1 piece of burning firewood remained.
It turned out that the datura snake was targeting the bonfire on the ground and not Yang Kai.
"Damn evil creature, it seems that you have entered the 5000 yeared Stage, I will never permit you to live!" Having seen such intelligence from the datura snake, a shocked and horrified expression flashed on Yang Kai's face as an intense murderous intent surged up from his body.
Since Yang Kai was able to hide inside the bonfire, he was naturally able to guard against the datura snake's attack that destroyed the bonfire.
With his rich combat experience, Yang Kai dodged the datura snake's attack, and at the same time, skillfully swiveled his trident dagger as he stabbed at the 7 inches spot below the Datura snake's head.
The pitiful datura snake which was still excited after destroying the bonfire, suddenly felt a sudden burst of severe pain from its vital part of the body, causing its body to suddenly freeze and turn stiff.
The moment Yang kai's hit connected, he didn't hesitate to take out the trident dagger, stripping off a lump of flesh and blood, as he then stabbed it in and out once again.
Only after having been repeatedly stabbed 3 times did the poisonous Snake react from the severe pain, as it coiled and rolled over its tail, attempting to coil and grasp Yang Kai.
By now, Yang Kai had already made a fist-sized wound 7 inches under the snake's head as blood gurgled out from the snake's wound.
Yang Kai had recited and studied the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis countless of times in his past few days, it had even been ingrained and became his instinct. Naturally, he also had thoroughly memorized the raw ingredients and materials needed to concoct the Body Refining Liquid for cultivating the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis.
The first blood's essence shed by the murderer could be said to be the most quintessence part, and Yang Kai didn't want to miss it even for a bit.
Yang Kai's mouth mercilessly bit the fist-sized wound 7 inches under the Datura snake's head with lightning speed.
At the same time, Yang kai's hands firmly clung onto the Python's body as to prevent to be thrown off by the beast.
The Datura snake absolutely didn't expect that the tide of the fight could be reversed this fast and that it might even be defeated.
When it was aware that it had lost its superiority against an ant and was even facing a life-threatening danger, it became anxious.
With a loud "bang" sound, the Datura snake's tail fiercely thrashed at Yang Kai's arm as the pain made Yang Kai's face fiercely twitch.
In fact, the Datura snake's tail was originally trying to strike at Yang Kai's head. But at the critical moment, he didn't hesitate to sway his head to the side and escape the disaster.
"Evil creature, I'll don't believe that I can't kill you today!" Yang Kai clearly felt that the datura snake had broken one of his arms, leaving only one arm intact.
Having been forced to endure the severe pain from his arm, a trace of a fierce expression flashed across Yang Kai's eyes.
In a split second, he gripped the trident dagger with his teeth as he rapidly stabbed the snake's previous wound.
When the trident dagger had fully lodged on the wound, Yang Kai continued to s**k out the Datura snake's blood's essence once again.
Under the sharp pain, the Datura snake rolled and raged everywhere as it sprayed out a thick scarlet poisonous mist. It let out hissing voices as its nose sent out gloomy and cold air, sending the chills to anyone's heart who look at it.
When the datura snake had amassed its strength back and prepared its tail to trash on Yang Kai again, Yang Kai fiendishly grinned as he used his mouth to rotate the trident dagger deeper into the datura snake's body.
Under the rotating movements of the trident dagger, the Datura snake's accumulated strength that it had desperately amassed instantly vanished as its attack also was resolved in a flash.
Being aware that its tail couldn't effectively attack Yang Kai the datura snake finally turned chaotic as it began to bump its body along with Yang Kai's body against the boulder and old trees on the mountain cliff.
Yang Kai vigilantly observed the surroundings. He quickly and skillfully hid to avoid being hit each time it would hit the stones and trees and tried to minimize the damage to his body, whilst at the same time almost not stopping to continue sucking the datura snake's blood's essence.
With yang Kai's frantically sucking its blood's essence, the green Python's blood's essence gurgled out crazily as its strength was becoming weakened endlessly.
Finally, the snake seemed to be aware that its life might come to an end. It didn't frantically struggle again, but coiled up its body and fiercely shot through its head straight toward a particular direction.
When Yang Kai's body was raising high in the air, he was greatly alarmed as his face turned deathly pale.
It turned out that, this time, the snake didn't hit against the boulder and the old tree along with Yang Kai's body, but it straightly flung itself and fell down the hill.
The green Python seemed to realize that it couldn't do anything to Yang Kai, and even it also could lose its life. It didn't hesitate to choose to perish together with Yang Kai.
"Could it be that today I will die together with this python?" While listening to the whistling sounds of the wind that pierced his ears, whilst also looking at the unseen dark ground downhill below the gorge, despair and desperateness gushed out from Yang Kai's heart as unwillingness filled him.
"NO! I came to this world and if I die I can't fulfill my promise to Su Yan and my wives" said Yang Kai with great difficulty " I must live!" In a split second of effort, Yang Kai set firm his mind as a resolute conviction flashed from his eyes.
Yang Kai took out the trident dagger, and in the next second, frantically pulled himself out from the Datura snake's body.
The datura snake had no strength left at this moment. Under the ravaging from Yang Kai it was unable to even resist and could only let Yang Kai make shocking and terrible scars on its body.
However, a look of astonishment quickly gushed out from Yang Kai's complexion. Because, aside from the 7 inches spot from the snake's head, the trident dagger was unable to even pierce the other parts of the green Python's body.
Yang Kai then realized that had he not caught the snake unprepared and stabbed its only weakness—in the 7 inches under its head—he would have been unable to even damage the Python's body today. It was even extremely possible to have lost his own life to this soul beast.
Yang Kai was dazed for a moment. It was already more than 100 meters since he had fallen down with the snake. At this time, Tang Xiu could already faintly see the bottom of the steep mountain cliff below as he could also see the peculiar rugged rocky terrains.
"My body is but no different with mortal flesh. Falling down with this kind of speed will definitely turn me into minced meat!" Upon seeing that his body was coming closer to the ground, anxiousness and deep worries increasingly engulfed Yang Kai's heart. His eyes were just like an eagle's as he sharply looked below… for the chance of survival.
Looking far down at the ground below, Yang Kai could only see stones and rocks. There were neither trees or swamps, causing Yang Kai to almost fall into despair.
When Yang Kai was thinking that his death was imminent, a drop of rainwater suddenly gently fell onto his face, causing him to stare blankly for a moment.
How could it be raining while the sky was bright?
A puzzled expression filled Yang Kai's eyes as he looked up to the sky and saw the whole, vast sky was full of stars with a dazzling and bright moonlight above his head.
"I found it!" Yang Kai's eyes brightly shone when he found that the drop of water that fell on his face was not a raindrop, but the blood's essence that flowed out from the datura snake's body.
He finally found a chance to survive.
