Chapter 50: Slaying the Giant Python, Refining the Longbow Second Watch

  The next day was fine and clear.

  "Yang, are we still moving forward today?" Yang Qing was worried that if they continued to advance, it would become increasingly dangerous, and the magical beasts they encountered would become stronger. If they were to encounter a seventh-level or higher magical beast, it would be beyond what the two of them could handle.

  "No." Yang Lei shook his head, "Today our goal is first the white giant python we encountered before, secondly those long-armed magic monkeys, and also that mysterious eagle."

  Yang Qingshui couldn't help but feel worried, dealing with that sixth-level giant python wouldn't be a problem, but if he had to deal with the Long-Armed Devil Monkey and the Dark Eagle, it would be much more difficult.

  "But, Yang brother, wanting to deal with that Black Hawk and the Long Armed Devil Monkey isn't going to be an easy task. The Black Hawk is the king of the skies, while the Long Armed Devil Monkeys are a group of magical beasts, each one being level 6, and their king is even a level 7 magical beast...can we really kill them?"

  Yang Lei was also worried, if he still had so many points, exchanging another Storm Lily Pin would not be a problem when encountering the Long-Armed Devil Monkey King, but the issue was that his previous exchange of Capture Technique had consumed 8,000 points, and now only over 3,000 were left.

  More than 3,000 points are far from enough. A single Violent Rain Lily Pin requires 10,000 points, and 3,000 is too little, not even one-third of it.

  So you have to kill, kill, kill in order to get points.

  Of course, you can still refine Dan, make symbols, and refine instruments to get points, but it's not suitable now, only hunting demons.

  "Little wolf, go."

  Yang Lei shouted and rushed in the direction of the white giant python.

  Yang Qingshuo followed up afterwards.

  After walking for over a hundred meters, I saw in the distance a large tree with the giant python hanging from it, looking like a thick and long rope.

  Yang Lei turned to Yang Qing and said, "Qing, you wait here, I'll let Xiao Lang protect you, I'm going to catch that giant python." Then he instructed Xiao Lang and walked towards the giant python.

  "Hiss...hiss..."

  When Yang Lei approached, the giant python seemed extremely fearful and kept retreating.

  Yang Lei was clear in his mind that this guy wasn't afraid of him, but the dormant White Bone Essence on his body. The White Bone Essence was also a snake-type demon beast, no, it should be said to be a holy beast, and this giant python was also a snake-type, obviously feeling the pressure of the White Bone Essence, so it was afraid and didn't dare to confront him.

  "Run, can you run?"

  Yang Lei would not let it go, and with a swift movement of his sword, he struck back.

  "Fengdao Qi Sha, Feng Yin Sha."

  Like a gentle breeze blowing by, fleeting and soundless.

  "Hiss..."

  The giant python was hit in the waist by Yang Lei, enraged, finally enraged, no longer afraid of Bai Suzhen's breath, and violently rolled towards Yang Lei.

  The giant python's huge tail swung towards Yang Lei with a loud thud, attempting to crush him. However, Yang Lei wouldn't let it have its way, and with a swift movement, he dodged the attack. With true energy infusing his blade, he made a single, unadorned slash, severing the snake's tail in an instant.

  The giant python was in pain and suddenly thrashed about, becoming even more ferocious and menacing.

  "Fatal blow."

  "Three killings combined into one."

  Yang Lei launched his ultimate move, directly attacking the giant python's head at the seven-inch position.

  "Ding! Congratulations, player killed a level 6 giant python. Experience +100000, Qi +1000, Points +1000."

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining a 6th-level magic core."

  "Ding, congratulations player level up."

  The level has been upgraded, Yang Lei was overjoyed, his own level has been upgraded again, from Martial Artist Seventh Stage to Martial Artist Eighth Stage. The higher the level, the harder it is to upgrade, and the more experience points are needed.

  "Harvesting technique."

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining Venomous Fang."

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining a python tendon."

  "Ding, player obtained python skin."

  Venomous fangs, ah, Yang Lue's forehead was sweating, this giant python actually had venom, fortunately he acted quickly and didn't give the python a chance to strike, otherwise if he got poisoned, it would be no small trouble.

  The python tendon has been obtained, so he can now refine the longbow he needs. Yang Lei is quite delighted about this. Presumably, if his weapon refinement is successful this time, his equipment refinement level should also be upgraded. Among the three basic skills of alchemy, talisman crafting, and equipment refinement, except for equipment refinement, all others have already reached intermediate level, so equipment refinement must be upgraded as well.

  "Alright, this giant python has been killed by me. Let's rest for a while before dealing with those long-armed demon monkeys." Yang Lei returned to Yang Qing Shui's side, "Qing Shui, you and Xiao Lang help me guard the law."

  Yang Qingshui nodded.

  Yang Lei was not recovering, but refining equipment, no, it was refining a suitable longbow.

  It's also thanks to the system upgrade that equipment can be refined and synthesized directly within the system, no need to put it outside. This saved Yang Lei a lot of trouble, otherwise with Yang Qing Shui around, it would have been really inappropriate.

  Preparing to refine the longbow, the main materials are three kinds: top-grade iron wood, meteoric iron from outside the sky, plus a six-level giant python tendon. The refined longbow will definitely not be inferior. The only trouble is whether I can successfully refine it myself. If I fail, then I must find another python tendon again, which is a troublesome thing.

  Alchemical Techniques

  "Ding! Congratulations, player, on successfully crafting a Longbow. Experience +500,000, Qi +5,000, Points +5,000, Proficiency increased."

  "Ding, congratulations player, your equipment forging level has been upgraded to intermediate."

  "Ding, would you like to name your new weapon?"

  "Chasing souls."

  "Ding, congratulations player on successful naming."

  Yang Lei was overjoyed, his original worried expression completely disappeared, and this longbow was successfully refined without any danger. The level of equipment refining technique also naturally rose to intermediate level.

  Soul Chaser

  Longbow, Tier 2 equipment, Attack +20%, Hit Rate +15%.

  Second-grade, that is to say this Soul Chaser is actually a low-grade spiritual artifact. Although it's a low-grade spiritual artifact, this is my first time refining a low-grade spiritual artifact, and it's quite impressive. Moreover, with an attack power increase of 20%, it's not inferior to mid-grade or even high-grade spiritual artifacts, and it also adds 15% hit rate, which is extremely abnormal.

  Since there is a longbow, then there must be matching arrows and a quiver.

  But the arrow and quiver happened to have ready-made materials for refining, which was the venomous fang. The two venomous fangs of this giant python were the best things for refining arrows, but this could only be used as a trump card, after all, there were only two such fangs.

  Alchemical Techniques

  "Ding, arrow crafting failed, experience +1000, internal energy +10, points +10."

  Failed? Actually failed? Yang Lei's mind was dizzy, he couldn't think of how he could fail to refine a single arrow.

  There was still a poisonous tooth, and he mustn't fail, Yang Lei silently recited in his heart.

  Alchemical Techniques

  "Ding! Congratulations, player has successfully crafted Poison Arrow. Experience +300,000, Points +3,000, Qi +3,000, Proficiency increased."

  Poison Arrow

  Earth Stage 2nd Rank, used in conjunction with Pursuing Soul, Attack Power +25%, 60% chance to poison the enemy.

  Success, it's actually a second-rate spiritual artifact of the earthly rank, it's really awesome! And there's also a 60% chance of poisoning, which means that if I use this poisonous arrow to shoot someone several times, I'm guaranteed to hit the mark. Yang Lei's joyful expression couldn't be hidden.

  Now that the poisonous arrows have been refined, all that's left is the quiver, which will be made from python skin.

  Alchemical Techniques

  "Ding, congratulations player, successful refinement! Experience +400,000, Qi value +4,000, points +4,000, proficiency increased."

  Quiver

  Second-grade ground, used in conjunction with Soul Chaser, can recover arrows, recovering one arrow consumes 50 points of accumulated value.

  "Whoa……" Yang Lei involuntarily took a deep breath, this quiver was truly awesome, it could actually retrieve arrows, although it consumed 50 points of accumulated value, but it was well worth it. In other words, his poisonous arrow could be shot out without restriction, as long as he had enough accumulated value.

  The excitement hadn't subsided yet when the system voice sounded again.

  "Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully crafting the Soul Chaser suit, +1,000,000 experience points, +10,000 score points, +10,000 internal energy points, proficiency increased."

  "Ding, congratulations player level up."

  "Ding, congratulations player, Soul Chaser level up."

  What a great joy, what a huge surprise! Is this a pie falling from the sky or what? Yang Lei was suddenly stunned.

  Soul Chaser

  Bow and Arrow, Ground Tier 5, Attack +50, Hit Rate +30%, 60% chance to poison the enemy, each shot consumes 50 points of score value.

  Powerful, too powerful, not only increases attack power by 50%, but also increases hit rate by 30%, and has a poison attribute, importantly without the need to equip arrows.

  And his current level has been upgraded again, now reaching the level of Wushi 9th stage. It's only been a short while, and his cultivation has improved again, it's so unexpected! What's even more surprising is that he gained an additional 10,000 points, bringing his total points to 26,000.

  So many points can be exchanged for a lot of things, such as the long-awaited Ice Heart Scripture, or the second volume of Iron Shirt. Although it seems that there are still not enough points for this, it is possible to exchange them for a Stormy Raindrop Needle, which is sufficient to deal with seventh-level magical beasts. Even if you encounter eighth-level magical beasts, you don't need to worry, as long as you haven't encountered ninth-level sacred beasts, then you can completely relax and be at ease.

  Let's put other things aside for now, this Rainstorm Lihua Needle must be exchanged first.

  "Ding, will the player consume 10,000 points in exchange for a Storm Lily Needle?"

  Exchange.

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining Stormy Raindrop Needle."

  The Stormy Raindrop Needle reappeared, but it consumed 10,000 points, and the original 26,000 points were once again reduced to 16,000.

  The bow and arrow have been refined, the strongest weapon is also available, it's time to collect that long-armed magic monkey.

  Yang Lei slowly opened his eyes and let out a mouthful of turbid air.

  "Yang brother, you're awake." Yang Qingshui said as he saw Yang Wei wake up.

  "Uh-huh." Yang Lei nodded, "Now I'll go catch that Long-Armed Devil Monkey, you and Xiao Lang stay here, be careful."

  "Be careful, Brother Yang," said Yang Qing Shui.

  Yang Lei nodded.

  Spread wings and fly into the sky.

  Not having flown very high, I felt a sense of crisis and trembled. Lifting my head to look, it was that mysterious eagle, a sixth-level mysterious eagle, which actually wanted to attack me.

  Yang Lei was furious in his heart. He hadn't even prepared to deal with you yet, and you actually came looking for him. His newly forged weapon would use you as a test subject.

  Basic Archery

  Soul in hand, draw the bow, the bow forms a half moon.

  A "whoosh" sound, a black awn flashed out instantly and flew straight at Xuan Ying.

  The dark eagle let out a mournful cry as it was shot, the arrow's power was more than enough, and he had used up 50% of his strength, adding to the Pursuing Soul's power, this dark eagle was already heavily injured.

  The black eagle was hit and knew it was in trouble. It spread its wings to fly away from the place, but how could Yang Lei let it have its way?

  The soul is pulled back again, and another arrow is shot.

  Then all of a sudden, there was a sharp cry, and Xuan Ying fell down.

  At this time, the system sound also rang out.

  "Ding! Congratulations, player killed level 6 Xuan Ying, experience +150000, Qi Gong value +1500, points +1500."

  "Ding, congratulations player on acquiring the skill Eagle Eye."

  Killed it and unexpectedly obtained the skill Eagle Eye. What a wonderful thing, Eagle Eye is an extremely powerful skill that allows oneself to see more clearly and from a greater distance.
