Chris knew deep down that this snake was definitely not as simple as it looked to him. The feeling of vigilance in his heart reached its peak, and after some deep thought, he finally had a countermeasure. He quickly opened the system interface and after operating it for a while, several short spears appeared in his hands.
Chris flipped his wrist and accurately threw the wooden spears at the Mutant Silver Ringed Serpent, aiming straight for the snake's head. However, the spear head did not hit the target, and was steadily stuck in the tail of the mutant silver ring snake. The mutant silver-ringed snake wriggled in pain, but its tail was nailed to the ground by the spear, so no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free.
With the viper's movement restricted, Chris realized that as long as he stayed out of the viper's range of attack, and then stabbed it with the short spear, he could easily end its life. Just as Chris was about to move forward with his spear in hand, the situation suddenly appeared - seeing that it was impossible to break free, the mutant silver ring snake turned around and opened its bloody mouth, tearing its own tail, performing the strategy of breaking its tail to survive.
In just a few seconds, the mutant silver-ringed snake broke free, leaving a severed tail writhing on the ground. Chris couldn't help but suck in a breath of cool air, this snake was really ruthless. After breaking free, the Mutant Silver Ring Snake not only did not flee, but instead charged towards Chris with a more violent stance. Chris quickly retreated, and at the same time kept throwing short spears, but due to the flexible twisting of the snake's body, all the throws failed to hit.
Seeing that the Mutant Silver Ring Snake was extremely fast, the distance between the two sides quickly closed. Almost instantly, the venomous Mutant Silver Ring Snake had already reached Chris's feet. At the moment of crisis, Chris had no way to retreat. At the moment when the silver ring snake opened its mouth and its poisonous fangs were about to bite down, Chris held the spear and stabbed down with a swift and swift momentum.
With a poof, the spear pierced through the viper's mouth, penetrated the back of his head, and was steadily inserted into the ground. The Silver Ring Snake maintained its offensive stance, hanging on to the spear in death, completely losing its life. Immediately afterward, the body of the Mutant Silver Ringed Snake turned into a cloud of particles and gradually dissipated, leaving behind only a silver-white treasure chest.
After confirming that the Mutant Silver Ring Snake was completely dead, Chris finally let out a sigh of relief and walked towards the silver-white treasure chest. Through observing the chat logs, he learned that killing prey could obtain treasure chests, which varied from wooden, iron, copper, silver to the possible gold and diamond treasure chests. So far, the highest grade treasure chest was only a silver treasure chest. Chris didn't expect that he would be able to obtain a Silver Treasure Chest.
After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, Chris carefully carried the Silver Treasure Chest into his arms and hurriedly ran back to the shelter. Sitting on the wooden bed of the refuge, Chris rubbed his hands together and opened the Silver Treasure Chest with anticipation.
"Congratulations to the host for opening the Silver Treasure Chest for the first time, gaining Survival Points: 25."
"Congratulations to the host for opening the Silver Treasure Chest, gaining: spiritual energy 1."
"Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest and obtaining: post-apocalyptic creature icon 1."
"Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest and obtaining: lighter 1."
"Congratulations to the host for opening the Silver Treasure Chest and obtaining: mysterious pet egg 1."
"Congratulations to the host for opening the Silver Treasure Chest and obtaining: baguette bread *2."
System prompts sounded one after another, and in addition to the items obtained, the achievement of opening the Silver Treasure Chest for the first time was unlocked, gaining 25 Survival Points! Chris was filled with excitement, removing the baguette bread and lighter, he checked the system's descriptions of the other items one by one.
"Psychic Energy: seems to be a mysterious power that only exists in the end times, can be used for strengthening and manufacturing, other uses to be discovered."
"End Times Creature Atlas: records all end times creatures, seems to have other uses."
"Mysterious Pet Egg: produced by mysterious creatures, after dropping blood, the hatched pet will automatically recognize its owner."
After reading these introductions, Chris took out the items one by one and placed them neatly in front of him. The Spiritual Energy was a small cube that emitted a blue glow, and Chris couldn't figure out its real purpose even after fiddling with it for a while, but since the system hinted that it could be used for reinforcement or manufacturing, it should be some kind of special material. With this thought in mind, Chris walked to the front door, put the psychic energy cube close to the wooden door, and called up the system interface. Sure enough, a brand new branch of evolution was added to the evolution list!
