Self-Assessment of Strength, Black Green Great Snake
Tang Zheng advanced eastward with each step sinking either deep or shallow. Perhaps because he had been on the outermost edge, he hadn't encountered any wild beasts or even magical beasts for quite some time.
Buzz—
A faint, almost imperceptible sound of wings fluttering arose from the branches of the trees.
It was a peculiar insect about the size of a thumb, resembling a caterpillar with a vibrant green color and a pair of thin wings.
This winged caterpillar slid off a verdant leaf, slowly descending towards Tang Zheng below.
However, just as it reached above Tang Zheng's head!
The Iron Sword traced an arc in the air, slicing the winged caterpillar in two, causing it to fall to the ground.
『Gained 1 experience point.』
A faint, fishy smell dispersed in the air.
Is it poisonous? Tang Zheng glanced at it casually, his footsteps not pausing for even a moment as he continued forward.
Too bad!
I haven't mastered any detection magic, otherwise I wouldn't have to rely on myself to judge.
Currently, Tang Zheng's hp, physical attack, and agility attributes had all reached 73 points.
Hp aside for the moment.
He had recently experimented, and with 73 points of physical attack, he only needed three strikes with the Iron Sword at full power to chop down a tree as thick as a hug.
If he used his fist.
A full-force punch on a tree stump could leave an indentation half a fist deep in the trunk.
As for "Agility," the data wasn't as precise. Tang Zheng only knew that his sensory perception had improved significantly.
Before, with 63 points in "Agility," the speed of that Thief, who should have been above Level 8, which seemed incredibly fast to ordinary people, felt relatively normal to Tang Zheng, even a bit slow.
The "Rock" team was the group of Adventurers Tang Zheng had the most contact with, and the strongest among them was the captain, Dosari.
Now, Tang Zheng felt that he should be stronger than Dosari.
In addition.
He not only mastered Martial Arts, but also skills and magic.
If it were a head-on confrontation, Tang Zheng wouldn't be confident, but if it were a sneak attack, he was somewhat confident in being able to eliminate the "Rock" team, though he would also be injured in the process.
From a weakling to someone who could rival the strength of a "Silver Rank" Adventurer team, Tang Zheng couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying nature of the Innate Ability "Player."
That "Player" captain, who was the leader of the Thirteen Heroes two hundred years ago, had aroused the White Gold Dragon King's suspicion because of his rapid increase in strength within a short period.
Continuing forward!
The real trouble in the forest wasn't the conspicuous magical beasts and wild animals, but the colorful insects, most of which were highly poisonous.
With Tang Zheng's agility, he wasn't afraid of these insects' sudden attacks, but dealing with them was troublesome, and the experience gained was only in single digits.
It severely slowed down his progress.
Crack! A branch lying on the ground was snapped by Tang Zheng's foot, emitting a crisp sound.
This wasn't very noticeable in the outer reaches of the forest, which were filled with the sounds of insects and the rustling of leaves, but Tang Zheng stopped.
"Finally encountered a decent prey, this is your territory, right?" Tang Zheng turned his head, looking to his left.
He saw!
At the intersection of the thick branches and leaves of several large trees, a creature of pure black with faint green spots was lying motionless among the leaves.
Fortunately, it was daytime.
Although it was hidden among the branches and leaves, its rather slender outline could still be discerned. If it were night, Tang Zheng probably wouldn't have been able to spot it.
Even before this.
Tang Zheng had vaguely sensed something was amiss. Although this was the outer edge of the Tove Great Forest, the number of wild beasts he had encountered during his advance was quite small.
The biggest possibility for such a situation is only one! That is, this place belongs to the territory of some relatively powerful beast or magical beast.
Now it seems that he guessed right.
Tang Zheng's gaze swept over the black figure hidden in the branches and leaves. The length of the body was at least over a meter.
Speaking of which, what exactly is this? Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, the Iron Sword in his hand held horizontally in front of his chest.
Sha! Sha! The leaves rubbed against each other, making a sound like being blown by the wind.
The hidden creature was obviously aware that it had been discovered. Facing this human who had trespassed into its territory, a red forked tongue darted from its mouth.
The next moment! The black-green figure, like a spring, burst out from the lush branches and leaves, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing towards Tang Zheng below.
The black-green scales, illuminated by the mottled sunlight, emitted a cold, metallic luster! Tang Zheng finally determined what this creature was.
It's a snake!
Moreover, it was a giant snake with a body length of more than six meters and as thick as a normal person's two thighs.
The Black Green Great Snake shot out, its fishy bloody mouth opening towards Tang Zheng's head, ready to bite down hard.
Tang Zheng quickly waved the Iron Sword in his hand, forcefully aiming at the Black Green Great Snake's head and slashing.
Bang! The blade heavily struck the Black Green Great Snake's open mouth, actually making a muffled sound, and a spark burst out from the position where the black scales met the Iron Sword.
So hard!
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed.
"Hiss!"
The Black Green Great Snake let out a painful hiss, its six-meter-long body twisting, and its thick snake tail swung from behind.
The tail struck the air, making a rapid buzzing sound.
Seeing this scene.
Tang Zheng held the sword in his right hand to suppress the Black Green Great Snake that wanted to bite him, and grabbed towards the void with his left hand, taking out another Iron Sword from the Item Box and slashing towards the direction of the snake tail's swing.
Bang! The muffled collision sound rang out again.
The somewhat astonishing force made Tang Zheng take a step backward, his left shoulder shifting back, but he successfully blocked the Black Green Great Snake's tail strike.
"Hiss!"
Except for the middle section of its body standing on the ground, the entire front half and the tail of the Black Green Great Snake were pressed against Tang Zheng, constantly twisting its body.
It seemed to want to curl Tang Zheng into its body, using the strangulation movements that snakes are good at to kill the prey in front of it!
But Tang Zheng used his agility advantage, holding swords in both hands, while resisting the attacks from the head and tail of the Black Green Great Snake, and steadily retreated.
"The scales are very hard, and coupled with the slippery characteristics of the body, it is difficult to damage the opponent's body by relying on brute force."
Tang Zheng kept waving the Iron Sword, occasionally slashing at the opponent's body, but the effect was minimal.
Being simply hard was fine, but the slippery body caused Tang Zheng's attacks to lose a considerable amount of force when they landed on the opponent.
He originally thought this was just a large snake-like beast, but now it seems to be a magical beast! In another world, beasts and magical beasts are easily distinguished. As long as they possess some special abilities, they can be classified as a type of magical beast.
Seeing that the human in front of it seemed unable to break through its scales, the Black Green Great Snake's dark yellow snake pupils showed a little less caution.
It began to gradually abandon some defensive movements, and its attacks became more violent.
Bang! The swinging thick tail was once again blocked by Tang Zheng's Iron Sword, and the force was greater than before.
"Almost there."
Tang Zheng's expression remained unchanged. He had basically figured out the Black Green Great Snake's attack methods.
Relying on his speed, it would not be difficult to get rid of this Black Green Great Snake.
However, this is an excellent experience pack!
Bang! Tang Zheng heavily stomped on the ground, his body quickly jumping backward, posing as if he wanted to escape.
