Chapter 92: Unexpected Turn of Events

Only after his stomach was filled to the brim with the blood of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, unable to hold even a single extra drop, did Jian Chen finally stop the act of sucking the snake's blood.

"Ah!" Jian Chen lifted his head, opened his mouth, and let out a comfortable groan, then began to breathe slightly.

Inside Jian Chen's body, the large amount of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake's blood accumulated in his abdomen, and was slowly assimilated by his own blood, being absorbed by his body. At the same time, the intense poison on the left side of his chest and his entire left arm was visibly fading, the black color gradually turning back to normal skin tone.

Although the poison of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake was extremely potent, and only its blood could cure it, the poison was also very quick to clear.

It didn't take long for the intense poison in Jian Chen's body to be completely cleared. Apart from the two small tooth marks still remaining on his shoulder, the skin on his left arm and left chest had completely returned to normal.

"Phew!" Looking at his body, which had fully recovered, Jian Chen let out a long breath, feeling extremely relieved. Fortunately, he had successfully hunted the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake at the last moment. Otherwise, even with the Holy Light Power to suppress the spread of the poison, he would not have been able to survive for more than three days. After all, he could not maintain the Holy Light Power for long, and the consumption of "God" was very high.

Slowly standing up from the ground, Jian Chen looked at the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake lying on the ground like a golden vine, feeling a surge of excitement. The Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent, had a population that did not exceed a few hundred, making it extremely rare. Moreover, the value of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake itself was also very significant. It was no exaggeration to say that although the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake was extremely poisonous, its entire body was a treasure. It was said that eating the meat of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake could not only increase one's resistance to various poisons but also strengthen one's physical constitution. Although it could not match the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake's defense, it could still provide a significant improvement.

The gallbladder of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake was said to be a very high-grade medicinal ingredient. If combined with the essence blood of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake and refined using special methods, it could create a body immune to all poisons, making one immune to all poisons in the world, except for those stronger than the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake or a few other equally potent poisons. Otherwise, all poisons in the world would pose no threat to a person with such an immune body.

The fangs of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake were also a highly lethal weapon. Due to growing in the snake's mouth and being constantly immersed in poison, the fangs of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake had undergone a fundamental transformation. Now, the fangs were permanently tainted with an incurable poison. Once injured by the fangs, one would be immediately poisoned by the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake's poison. Without the snake's blood to cure it, the only result would be death. This poison was even beyond the capabilities of a Sky Holy Master.

Of course, with the current level of poison from this Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, it could not kill a Sky Holy Master in a short time, but it could prevent the Sky Holy Master from ever clearing the poison, ultimately leading to death. The only cure was the blood of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake.

Although the poison of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake was extremely potent, the strength of the poison was still related to the snake's own strength. The stronger the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, the more potent the poison. Once the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake reached the sixth stage, it could poison a Sky Holy Master to death in a short moment.

The skin of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake was not only soft but also had very strong defensive capabilities, making it an excellent material for making close-fitting armor, with a very high value.

As for the venom sac of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, it was a type of item that was highly sought after but rarely available on the market. This venom sac could be refined into a colorless and odorless poison using special methods, which could bypass poison detection tools and be difficult to detect. Under this poison, even a Sky Holy Master would find it hard to escape, and the only cure was the blood of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake.

On the Tianyuan Continent, the venom sac of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake had appeared in auction houses a few times, but each time it appeared, it was bought at a sky-high price by people with special purposes.

Recalling the information about the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake from books, Jian Chen's mood became increasingly excited as the information flooded his mind. This was definitely his greatest harvest since entering the Magic Beast Mountain Range, especially the prospect of becoming immune to all poisons, which made Jian Chen's heart race.

Without any hesitation, Jian Chen immediately began to drag the long body of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake. He would not leave the corpse of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake like a common magic beast.

After some effort, Jian Chen finally managed to pull the entire body of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake out of the grass and pile it up. Only then did he fully realize the length of the snake, which was over seventy meters long.

The strength of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake was determined by its body length. Starting from a twenty-meter-long body for a first-stage Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, the snake's body would grow by twenty meters for each increase in strength, up to a maximum of one hundred meters for a fifth-stage snake. For a sixth-stage Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, it could freely change its body size, so the strength of a sixth-stage and above Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake could not be determined by body length.

The Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake in front of him, based on its body length, was clearly a powerful magic beast about to break through to the fourth stage.

Jian Chen took out the spatial ring that hung from his chest. This spatial ring was given to him by his father, Changyang Ba, when he left Changyang Manor. The internal space was very large, far surpassing that of a spatial belt. The only way to take the seventy-meter-long Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake was to use this spatial ring, as the narrow space of a spatial belt could not accommodate the snake's body.

However, putting the seventy-meter-long Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake into the spatial ring was not an easy task. Just as Jian Chen was about to start, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned to look behind him.

He saw several figures emerge from the forest. As Jian Chen looked at them, they also noticed his presence.

"Trouble!" Jian Chen's expression changed, and he inwardly cursed. It seemed that more problems were about to arise.

There were about twenty people, all dressed as mercenaries. When the mercenaries saw Jian Chen, they were all taken aback. Clearly, encountering someone here was unexpected. However, their attention was soon drawn to the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake coiled behind Jian Chen.

The leader of the mercenaries was a middle-aged man, around forty years old. When his gaze fell on the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, his brows furrowed in thought. Then, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up with immense joy and disbelief, and he stared at the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake behind Jian Chen with a burning and disbelieving look, exclaiming, "Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, this is actually a Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake!"

The middle-aged man's words made the mercenaries behind him pause, seemingly not immediately understanding the significance of the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake. However, as the information about the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake surfaced in their minds, their expressions changed dramatically. They looked at the snake with a mix of surprise, excitement, and greed, and more and more exclamations of disbelief escaped their lips.

"Is this really a Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake?"

"This is really a Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake, just like the legends."

"Who would have thought we would encounter a Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake here, we're going to be rich."

...

Various exclamations of surprise came from the mercenaries, their gazes burning with greed, unhidden and unashamed.

Jian Chen sighed inwardly. He had not expected such an unexpected turn of events at this critical moment. This was the last thing he wanted, but unfortunately, fate did not favor him.

Quickly securing the spatial ring, the silver-white Lightwind Sword appeared in Jian Chen's hand. Without any hesitation, he immediately transformed into a white blur, rushing towards the group of mercenaries at an extremely fast speed.

The mercenaries had already recognized the Golden Silk Silver Thread Snake. Given the snake's immense value, Jian Chen knew very well that they would stop at nothing to seize it, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jian Chen's speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had covered nearly thirty meters, reaching the group of mercenaries. He thrust the Lightwind Sword forward.

"Hmph, come on!" The middle-aged man, who was not weak, quickly recovered from his surprise and stared at the rapidly approaching Jian Chen with a cold gaze. He coldly snorted and suddenly a large sword appeared in his hand, which he raised to strike at Jian Chen.

Just as Jian Chen was about to collide with the middle-aged man's holy weapon, he suddenly changed his course, dodging the man's sword and circling around to his side, attacking the group of mercenaries standing behind the middle-aged man.
