Chapter 312 - Chapter 312 Chapter 312 Silkworm Silk Establishes Authority
Chapter 312: Chapter 312 Silkworm Silk Establishes Authority Chapter 312: Chapter 312 Silkworm Silk Establishes Authority It felt even more uneasy.
Jiang Fan had already prepared.
With a thought, the Sorrow Frost Sword on his back decisively unsheathed and flew under his feet!
He stepped on the flying sword and used its force to propel himself into the air.
At this time, the Copper Scale Black Centipede finally realized.
There was an almost invisible transparent silk thread tightly stretched between two big trees ahead.
Its pupils contracted violently.
It tried to dodge it!
But its huge body couldn’t avoid it at all.
And it was even more impossible to stop!
To kill Jiang Fan in one hit, it had exerted its innate talent, increasing its speed tenfold.
Under such immense inertia, it couldn’t stop at all!
No!
It let out a sharp scream.
The next moment, its entire body passed through the Heavenly Mountain Silk.
Then.
Using the Heavenly Mountain Silk as the dividing line.
The upper half of its body flew forward.
The lower half of its body quickly fell to the ground.
Bang——
Bang——
Two dull thuds were heard in succession.
The two halves of the Copper Scale Black Centipede’s body successively smashed to the ground.
Each part writhing madly, toppling a swath of forest.
The front half of its body let out a heart-wrenching scream of pain, echoing through the mountains and forests.
Jiang Fan barely landed on a tree, only to have his Spiritual Power thrown into disarray by the incredibly piercing scream.
His body trembled violently.
He almost fell headfirst.
Luckily, Xu Yining, seeing the danger, thrust her sword into the tree, providing support for both of them.
Thus, they managed to stabilize themselves.
They looked down on the incessantly screaming Copper Scale Black Centipede from above.
As time passed, the tail part of the Copper Scale Black Centipede had long since stopped moving.
The upper half also gradually fell silent.
Only a faint rise and fall could be seen in the abdomen of the Copper Scale Black Centipede.
It was not far from death.
It struggled to lift its head, looking in Jiang Fan’s direction.
Its blood-red eyes were filled with intense resentment.
It had actually fallen into the trap of a mere human!
It was truly unwilling!
Its head slowly fell down, and the rise and fall of its abdomen gradually ceased.
It looked as if it were dead beyond any doubt.
Xu Yining felt as if she were dreaming: “A Mid-stage Jiedan demon beast, killed?”
Jiang Fan flickered a few times, retrieving the Heavenly Mountain Silk, and shook his head: “How could it have been killed by me?”
“It was its own carelessness that led to its death.”
“If it had been a bit more vigilant, it would have been very hard to trap it.”
“Of course…”
Pausing, Jiang Fan looked at the Heavenly Mountain Silk in his hand, full of joy: “The power of this Heavenly Mountain Silk is also a major reason.”
Ordinary silk threads could never achieve such an effect.
They would either be broken by the Copper Scale Black Centipede or unable to cut through its copper-colored scales.
Only the Heavenly Mountain Silk, sharp and tough, could do it.
He liked this item more and more.
Xu Yining looked at Jiang Fan with admiration.
It was not just admiration for Jiang Fan’s adaptability.
But also for his humility.
No.1 Shadow Guard spoke lightly of it, but how many people could achieve it?
Even given the Heavenly Mountain Silk, who could set a trap without panicking in danger?
Who could narrowly avoid the Copper Scale Black Centipede’s attacks time and time again?
Who could lure it into delivering a fatal blow at just the right moment?
All these factors combined led to the successful killing of the Copper Scale Black Centipede.
It was far from being as simple as the Copper Scale Black Centipede’s carelessness.
She gazed at No.1 Shadow Guard, somewhat distracted, and said: “You are truly humble.”
“You somewhat resemble an old friend named Jiang Fan.”
In her impression, Jiang Fan was also always a modest gentleman.
Never proud or arrogant, always humble and low-key.
Why hadn’t she seen his merits back then?
Jiang Fan, feeling guilty, changed the subject: “We should leave quickly.”
“This place is full of trouble.”
Xu Yining snapped back to reality.
The commotion caused by the Copper Scale Black Centipede here was comparable to an earthquake.
If there were any other beast kings nearby, they would have surely noticed this place by now.
Her expression grew serious, ready to leave, but she inadvertently glanced at the Copper Scale Black Centipede and said: “Don’t want its materials?”
This was a Mid-stage Jiedan beast king.
Even a random scale was valuable.
Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed, and he said: “Of course, I want them.”
“But I want to make sure it’s completely dead before taking anything.”
What?
Xu Yining was shocked, looking at the seemingly lifeless Copper Scale Black Centipede and said: “It’s still alive?”
Jiang Fan stroked his chin: “Given its cunning nature, I find it hard to believe it would die so obediently.”
“Let’s test it out and see!”
With that said.
He took out the Ancient Zither and played “Tiger and Dragon Roar” from a distance.
The sound waves struck the body of the Copper Scale Black Centipede like a sword.
Its hard scales bore shallow white marks from the impact.
It did not cause much damage.
But the weak eyes were shattered on the spot.
The pretending to be dead Copper Scale Black Centipede, in pain, raised its head, letting out a cry of anger.
Using the last bit of its strength, it dragged its remaining body toward Jiang Fan.
It howled in fury as it crawled.
But this last bit of strength was meant for a final blow against Jiang Fan, and it wasn’t enough to sustain it for long.
After a short while, it crawled slower and slower.
Finally, it lay on the ground motionless.
A weak hiss sounded from its mouth.
In its mind, it uttered the final curse of its life: “You…
bastard…
you’re not human…”
Even among the demon beasts, the highly vigilant demon rabbit was not as difficult to deal with as this little human!
With resentment, it completely died.
Xu Yining was startled by the Copper Scale Black Centipede’s dying counterattack.
But hearing its frantic howling, she looked at Jiang Fan with a strange expression, muttering:
“It seems to be cursing you.”
Even though she couldn’t understand the demon race’s language, certain emotions were universally understood among living beings.
Jiang Fan rubbed his nose.
It wasn’t just cursing him.
It seemed to be cursing quite obscenely.
Ɲονǥᴑ.сօ
He played another tune, causing the flesh and blood of the Copper Scale Black Centipede to explode.
He confirmed that the Copper Scale Black Centipede was truly dead and didn’t play any more tricks.
Only then did he descend with Xu Yining.
Circling the Copper Scale Black Centipede, Jiang Fan identified the location of the inner core, pried open the iron-hard scales, and exposed the flesh inside.
Then he stabbed it with a sword, extracting the fist-sized inner core.
The inner core was filled with black liquid, clearly highly toxic.
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but shudder: “It’s a good thing I didn’t approach it just now.”
It seemed that the Copper Scale Black Centipede intended to poison Jiang Fan to death before it died.
“A Mid-stage Jiedan poison attribute inner core, I wonder if Supreme Elder Zhou Qidan would be interested.”
Though trading it for that vial of Poison Dragon Bone Marrow was a wild fantasy.
But it’s better than going empty-handed, right?
At this time, Xu Yining was also eyeing the Copper Scale Black Centipede’s corpse with interest.
It was her first time seeing a Mid-stage Jiedan demon beast’s body.
Every part of it was valuable.
“Take whatever you fancy,” Jiang Fan reminded her.
Xu Yining quickly waved her hands: “No, no, no, these are your spoils.
I can’t take them.”
Jiang Fan said: “The inner core is enough for me.
I can’t carry anything else.”
“Take as much as you can.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yining felt both delighted and embarrassed.
She picked and chose from the Copper Scale Black Centipede, prying off ten scales and cutting off the pair of antennae from its head.
Finally, she cut a piece of the most refined spiritual meat from its back.
She reluctantly stopped.
Just these items made her burdened with packages.
Looking at the nearly intact Copper Scale Black Centipede’s body, Xu Yining said with regret:
“It’s such a waste, so many good things that we can’t take.”
As soon as she finished speaking.
A cold voice, without any warning, echoed in the dark forest.
“If you can’t bear to leave them, then stay!”
Who?
Jiang Fan felt his hair stand on end!
Something was nearby, yet he hadn’t noticed!
And it sounded like a human language.
But the deep and thick voice was not something a human could produce!
He stared tightly at the source of the voice.
In a patch of shadow.
A terrifying creature with skeletal structure and clawed hands, stepping on the ground, slowly emerged!
Jiang Fan’s hair stood on end!
His pupils vibrated intensely!
The Ninth Layer of Core Formation beast king, Leng Gu!!!
