Chapter 34: Seizing the Pill, Taking the Medicine (Part 3)

"Poof!"

The three-headed python beast was the first to attack. Almost simultaneously with the tiger-like beast, it had already been struck by Xiao Bei's powerful "Star Rain" attack, which had shattered one of its heads. The remaining two heads, with their bright red tongues, directly spewed venom at Xiao Bei!

The venom was extremely potent!

Xiao Bei even heard the hissing sound as it tore through the air!

Xiao Bei turned, and his body was instantly enveloped in martial qi. Then, he swung his hand and used the Star Stone... The Star Stone, glowing black, shot straight at the tiger-like beast's forehead once again.

Clearly, the previous fierce blow from the Star Stone had taught the tiger-like beast that this unassuming little stone was a weapon not to be resisted. Even its supposedly invincible golden horn was no match for it.

Thus, the tiger-like beast resorted to its final attack... the shattered horn, explosive shot!

Although each shattered horn would greatly weaken the tiger-like beast, at this moment, it could no longer afford to care!

At this moment, to prevent the human from obtaining the plant, even if it had to struggle with the three-headed python after being injured, the first target to eliminate was the human in front of him.

Xiao Bei frowned as he watched the martial qi surrounding him weaken under the corrosion of the venom spewed by the three-headed python beast. Suddenly, he noticed the determined look in the tiger-like beast's eyes.

"Boom!"

Xiao Bei watched helplessly as the golden horn on the tiger-like beast's forehead, already damaged by the Star Stone, suddenly caved in with a sound.

Then, the golden powder, like snowflakes, enveloped the Star Stone.

The Star Stone, of course, could not be so easily restrained. Suddenly, the sides of the tiger-like beast's golden horn also caved in!

In Xiao Bei's eyes, this caved-in part seemed to be compressing the remaining part of the golden horn, making it cave in even more... In a moment, the base of the golden horn on the tiger-like beast's forehead seemed about to burst!

Xiao Bei also prepared to increase his control at this moment, making the Star Stone penetrate the golden powder and strike through the tiger-like beast's head!

Xiao Bei had a bad feeling, as if someone familiar was rushing here.

"Hisss..."

Suddenly, the three-headed python beast, now with only two heads, let out a loud hiss. After spewing venom at Xiao Bei, the beast did not continue its attack but moved closer to the tiger-like beast. However, just as it finished hissing, it swung its twenty-meter-long tail towards Xiao Bei.

The tail was swift and powerful, like a thunderbolt!

However, Xiao Bei believed that as long as he struck with one palm, he could shatter the python beast's not-so-hard outer skin.

He believed that this three-headed python beast, with intelligence not inferior to humans, also knew this.

But why did the python beast still do this?

While thinking, Xiao Bei's hands did not idle. He thrust his palm, and martial qi followed, forming a star... "Boom!" The three-headed python beast's tail shattered, blood and flesh flying everywhere!

However, at this moment, Xiao Bei also realized why the three-headed python used its fleshy tail to sweep at him... It was a lure!

Because just as Xiao Bei swung his palm, the python's twenty-meter-long body straightened, its head directly facing Xiao Bei, stretching towards him!

Two large tongues spewed venom again, and one head came forward first, while the other head was hidden behind it!

This was a double insurance... Even if Xiao Bei struck again, as long as the force was not enough to penetrate its large tongue, which was over a meter long, and the layer of venom in front, the other head of the three-headed python beast could still reach the plant protected below Xiao Bei!

What a poisonous plan!

Xiao Bei was enraged... He flipped his palm, and his entire body shot up... Rising to about ten meters, Xiao Bei suddenly dived down!

Surrounded by stars, Xiao Bei, in the early morning sunlight, shone brilliantly, delivering a thunderous blow to the python beast, which was trying to retreat quickly!

Before he arrived, the martial qi-shaped star fist struck first!

"Boom!"

One blow, and the python's head shattered!

Then, the momentum of Xiao Bei's falling body directly injured the python's other head! However, it did not shatter, as Xiao Bei left it useful, even allowing the python to retain a faint breath of life, though weak, it was enough to confirm that the python beast was still alive, albeit extremely weak...

At this moment, Xiao Bei finally acted without hesitation, spinning the Star Stone and striking it directly at the base of the tiger-like beast's protruding golden horn.

The two collided, and the golden horn's base shattered!

The Star Stone flew back into Xiao Bei's hand.

Looking at the battlefield, both beasts were on their last breaths... Without hesitation, the Star Stone struck again, "Snap," piercing the tiger-like beast that was about to self-destruct. Then, Xiao Bei's palm, under the intense pressure of martial qi, forcefully controlled the python beast's remaining injured head in the air.

To prevent the python beast from self-destructing, Xiao Bei waved his hand, using the Star Stone to further incapacitate the defenseless beast, making its breath even weaker, eliminating any threat.

Then, Xiao Bei immediately collected the python beast's and the tiger-like beast's inner cores, putting them in his pocket.

At this moment, the medicinal plant was almost ripe.

Frowning, Xiao Bei noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar aura approaching. The aura carried the flavor of the Xiao family's cultivation techniques.

"Could it be a Xiao family cultivator practicing in these mountains? His strength is not bad. I didn't expect the Xiao family to have an Imperial-level warrior, even if he is just a low-level one, it's still a significant asset for the Xiao family."

Xiao Bei reined in his cultivation technique, watching the plant, which would ripen in a moment, and planned the arrival time of the Xiao family's Imperial-level warrior. He remained unmoved, closely watching the plant.

"Snap, snap, snap..."

Several consecutive sounds, the bright red petals that covered the stamens of the medicinal plant suddenly shattered, one after another, turning to powder and dispersing in the wind. Under Xiao Bei's watchful eyes, the numerous stamens, like tentacles, all moved towards the center, where a small black seed was gradually growing.

When the stamens enveloped the black seed, they formed a cocoon. Soon, a round cocoon appeared, enclosing the seed, which was about the size of a fingertip.

The medicinal fragrance also disappeared at this moment.

The medicinal cocoon had no aura, looking extremely ordinary. If not for witnessing its transformation, Xiao Bei would not have recognized it as a medicinal cocoon.

Checking the auras of the inner cores in his pocket, which were concealed by his martial qi, Xiao Bei picked up the medicinal cocoon and placed it in a wooden box, securing it in his pocket before leaving the area.

When he was about three hundred meters away from the battlefield, Xiao Bei released his aura as a Ninth Rank Warrior and returned to the battlefield.

Xiao Bei could already sense that the Xiao family's Imperial-level warrior was at the battlefield.

He intended to use this to return to the battlefield and cut off the heads of the beasts he had hunted. If he only cut one, even if others accused him of cheating, as long as he mentioned the Xiao family's strong warrior, no one would dare to accuse him of cheating and offend a powerful member of the Xiao family.

This was Xiao Bei's plan!
