First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 27: Torrential Rain of Fire

"The first time I came in, I killed many Silver Ring Snake Demons, but I didn't have time to collect their corpses. Now, they have all been eaten by other snake demons. It's a pity," he said.

He hurried along, disappointed that he couldn't find the corpses of the slain snake demons.

Although the flesh of the Silver Ring Snake Demons was not valuable.

But the snake gallbladders and fangs inside their bodies were in high demand among cultivators in the market.

He had killed at least fifty snake demons last time. If he had properly collected their gallbladders and fangs, he could have sold a few Spirit Stones.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to deal with them at the time and was forced to leave by the Two-Headed Python.

"Tap, tap!"

Using the Thunderous Swift Step technique, Shen Mo's figure moved like lightning, swiftly passing through the spiritual field and fruit trees.

Soon, he arrived at the center of the spiritual field, where the Purple Yang Vermilion Fruit was located.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

As expected, the Two-Headed Silver Ring Python was still coiled around the Vermilion Fruit tree.

It had been resting, but it seemed to sense Shen Mo's arrival and suddenly opened its eyes.

In its yellow-brown eyes, killing intent surged.

This Two-Headed Silver Ring Python obviously didn't expect that after sparing its life once, Shen Mo would dare to come back and disturb it again!

"In just a few days, this beast's head seems to have grown," he thought as he stared at the python.

This time, when he saw the Two-Headed Python again, Shen Mo clearly felt that its aura was stronger than it was a few days ago.

The head that had been drooping, seemingly undeveloped, now showed signs of life.

Most likely, it had been cultivating by the side of the Purple Yang Vermilion Fruit, absorbing the overflowing Spiritual Qi day and night.

Just the slight amount of Spiritual Qi overflowing from the Purple Yang Vermilion Fruit had such an effect. It truly deserved to be called a Heavenly and Mortal Treasure!

"Fire Departure Talisman, activate!"

Facing this restless Two-Headed Silver Ring Python, Shen Mo didn't wait for it to make a move. He quickly took out five Fire Departure Talismans from his Qiankun Bag.

Then, he formed hand seals to activate them!

"Whoosh!"

The talismans in his hand burst into golden light and were instantly incinerated by flames.

At the same time, a terrifying flame turned into a dragon, carrying an aura that could burn everything, and suddenly attacked the Silver Ring Python.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The huge body of the Silver Ring Python suddenly climbed up and leaped to the ground, trying to dodge the attack of the Fire Departure Talisman.

But the flames followed closely, pursuing it without letting up.

"Bang!"

The Two-Headed Silver Ring Python couldn't dodge in the end, and the flames exploded on its body.

Countless scales on its body were instantly burned and fell off.

"Roar!"

The intense pain caused the Two-Headed Silver Ring Python to open its blood-filled mouth and roar madly.

"Poof!"

As it spat out snake venom, a milky white halo formed and slashed towards Shen Mo.

"Fire Departure Talisman, activate again!"

Shen Mo didn't dare to be careless and activated another talisman in his hand.

"Chant!"

The flames swept through, dispersing the Silver Ring Python's water waves, but they didn't stop there. They turned the central area of the spiritual field into a sea of fire.

After using two consecutive Fire Departure Talismans, Shen Mo felt a sense of emptiness in his body.

To activate the talismans, it required a huge amount of Spirit Power from the caster. However, as he had not yet opened his Qi Sea Dantian in the Body Forging Realm, he couldn't store a large amount of Spirit Power.

He could only rely on the hundred meridians and the five viscera and six bowels in his body to slightly draw in some Spirit Power, which was simply not enough.

After just two activations, he had already exhausted his Spirit Power.

"Gurgle!"

Fortunately, Shen Mo was prepared.

At this moment, Shen Mo grabbed a handful of Revitalizing Pills and stuffed them into his mouth like eating beans.

As the Revitalizing Pills entered his stomach, Shen Mo's depleted Spirit Power quickly recovered.

"The third one, come again!"

Feeling his Spirit Power gradually replenishing, Shen Mo didn't hesitate for a moment and activated the third Fire Talisman again!

A fierce flame dragon swept towards the Silver Ringed Python.

"Boom!"

Its body was like a speeding car, racing through the spiritual field.

Its massive body stirred up endless dust.

Although this Silver Ringed Python had already stepped halfway into the second rank of Demonic Beasts, its defense was extremely strong.

But in front of the fire talismans that restrained it, it was still vulnerable.

Each talisman's attack could cause severe injuries to it.

Therefore, facing the overwhelming firepower, this beast had no chance to counterattack. It only wanted to escape and avoid the endless rain of fire falling from the sky.

Damn it!

The Silver Ringed Python stared at Shen Mo, who was activating the fire talismans on his body with its other head, filled with intense hatred.

Although its intelligence had not fully awakened, it was well aware that these terrifying flames were not Shen Mo's own power, but borrowed from external objects, and they must have a time limit.

As long as it could hold on until the power of the talismans dissipated, it could swallow that guy in one bite and tear him into pieces!

But it was disappointed.

Shen Mo was fully prepared this time.

The firepower suppression was terrifying, making it impossible for it to withstand this series of saturation attacks.

One fire talisman after another was continuously activated.

While stuffing Revitalizing Pills into his mouth like they were free, Shen Mo activated the fire talismans with his Spirit Power.

Thirteen fire talismans were fully activated.

The towering flames burned fiercely.

From a high vantage point, one could see the Silver Ringed Python trapped in the endless rain of fire, constantly being burned by the flames, in a miserable situation.

"Let's slowly wear it down like this."

Shen Mo stood high up, patiently waiting for the Silver Ringed Python to be worn down by the fire talismans.

He had no intention of taking advantage of its weakened state and personally entering the scene to finish it off.

After all, finishing off wouldn't give any experience points.

On the contrary, the power of this Silver Ringed Python was too strong. Even if it launched a counterattack in its dying moments, Shen Mo wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Roar!"

This fiery feast lasted for the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

When the flames of the fire talismans gradually dissipated, the giant python trapped in the center had been roasted into charcoal, without any trace of life.

"Is it dead?"

"It's weaker than I imagined."

He put away the seven fire talismans he had prepared to release again, and jumped down from the tree.

He had prepared a total of twenty fire talismans, but at this moment, he had only used thirteen.

"All cooked. This flesh and blood of mine is probably worthless."

Shen Mo carefully examined the lifeless Silver Ringed Python in front of him, feeling a bit regretful.

Although the most valuable parts of snake-like Demonic Beasts were their fangs and gallbladders, if the flesh and blood of a second rank Demonic Beast remained intact, it could still be sold for a few Spirit Stones.

"Hiss!"

Just as Shen Mo relaxed his vigilance and was about to clean up the battlefield, a hissing sound suddenly rang out.

His whole body stiffened, and he turned his head to see that the Silver Ringed Python, which had originally closed its eyes, had now opened them!

"It's not dead?"

"This beast pretended to be dead to deceive me into approaching!"

In an instant, a chill surged through Shen Mo's heart, and a sense of danger arose.
