Chapter 11

"Don't be too quick to rejoice."

The young man in white was naturally Ye Feng. He coldly glanced at Nangong Muxue beside him and said, "The venomous mad python behind us was only hit in the head by my sneak attack. It will become even more frenzied, and we are not out of danger yet."

Seeing Ye Feng's cold gaze, Nangong Muxue immediately became flustered, like a little girl who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and whispered, "I understand."

The two ran quickly toward the edge of the canyon, but the venomous mad python was too fast. In an instant, it caught up to them from behind.

"You're too slow!"

Ye Feng shouted at the beautiful girl beside him. Without waiting for her agreement, he directly carried her on his back.

"Benefactor, please be careful."

Nangong Muxue whispered, her face slightly blushing as she stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Ye Feng's neck.

It seemed that this made Nangong Muxue feel safer.

Ye Feng didn't think much about it. He suddenly turned around, his eyes instantly locking onto the venomous mad python chasing them.

"Buzz!"

He quickly drew his bow, aligning his eyes, the bowstring, and the arrow in a straight line, aiming at the second head of the venomous mad python.

Boom!

The arrow shot out with a loud sound, piercing through the second head of the venomous mad python with a "pu" sound.

"Roar!!"

The venomous mad python let out a painful roar, charging at Ye Feng without any regard, trying to tear him into countless pieces.

"Last arrow! I bet on your death!"

Ye Feng did not retreat but instead exuded a towering aura.

He fiercely drew his bow.

This time, he used all his strength, pulling the Wind-Thunder Bow to a full moon shape!

The Wind-Thunder Bow, a mystic-grade weapon surpassing the yellow grade, lived up to its reputation!

As Ye Feng pulled the bowstring to a full moon, the mystical runes on the bowstring flashed with brilliant light.

In that instant, the spiritual energy from all directions converged around Ye Feng, forming a completely energy-based Wind-Thunder Arrow on the empty bowstring!

This Wind-Thunder Arrow, glowing with divine light, used all of Ye Feng's current strength, resonating with the surrounding spiritual energy, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Roar!"

The venomous mad python seemed to sense a great threat to its life and suddenly turned, fleeing into the distance.

"Escaped?"

Nangong Muxue was stunned.

But at this moment, Ye Feng had no intention of letting the venomous mad python escape.

He smiled coldly, "Running now is too late."

As he spoke,

"Boom!"

Ye Feng released the bowstring, and the arrow, glowing with divine light, surged with a destructive force, tearing through the sky like a bolt of lightning. With a "pu" sound, it directly pierced through the last head of the venomous mad python.

"Roar!!"

With a final earth-shattering cry, the massive python's body collapsed, raising a cloud of dust in the canyon.

"It's dead!"

Nangong Muxue's beautiful eyes were filled with joy.

She got off Ye Feng's back and stared at the young man in front of her, her eyes filled with awe.

The venomous mad python that had killed over a dozen of her royal guards was killed by the young man in white with just three arrows.

What a formidable strength!

Ye Feng, now exhausted, looked pale.

He glanced at Nangong Muxue and said, "Don't think I'm that powerful. If it weren't for the python's large and cumbersome body, allowing me to fully utilize the Wind-Thunder Bow, it's uncertain who would have survived."

Nangong Muxue nodded vigorously but clearly didn't fully understand. She said admiringly, "Benefactor, you are truly amazing!"

Ye Feng didn't care what the girl thought and walked toward where the venomous mad python had fallen.

The reason he acted this time was because he saw the value in the venomous mad python.

This venomous mad python was several dozen meters tall, and such a massive body must contain a tremendous amount of vital energy and demonic essence.

If the Alchemy Furnace were to devour and refine it, Ye Feng was sure his cultivation would greatly improve!

Although the process was dangerous, Ye Feng knew that great fortune comes with great risk, and the path of martial cultivation cannot be smooth sailing.

"Heaven moves, and the gentleman follows with self-improvement. With great courage and perseverance to overcome all difficulties, one can achieve great fortune and opportunities!"

This was what Emperor Ye Qing had once told Ye Feng.

The original Ye Feng, locked in the imperial palace since childhood, understood these words only superficially.

But now, reborn and rising from humble beginnings, Ye Feng had experienced various trials and gradually understood the many truths his father had once imparted.

Nangong Muxue, seeing that Ye Feng was ignoring her, didn't get angry. Her beautiful, fair face was filled with happiness, as if she had finally found her ideal prince.

At this moment, Ye Feng walked to where the venomous mad python had fallen.

The massive creature was completely dead, with no sign of life.

Ye Feng was about to release the Alchemy Furnace to devour and refine the beast.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a small, black lightning-like thing shot out from the venomous mad python's body and came directly to Ye Feng.

It was incredibly fast!

Faster than lightning!

Even Ye Feng couldn't react in time.

The next moment, Ye Feng felt a sharp pain in his thigh, as if a steel needle had pierced his flesh.

"Bad!"

Ye Feng's eyes changed, and he immediately saw a small black snake biting his leg.

The black lightning-like thing that had shot out from the venomous mad python's body was actually a thin, thread-like snake!

"Abdominal snake!"

Ye Feng's face was filled with anger and fear. His hand turned bronze, and he fiercely grabbed the small black snake, crushing it into a pulp with a "pu" sound.

However, the venom had already taken effect.

"Beasts are treacherous; I made a mistake this time..."

Ye Feng's body went limp, his vision darkened, and he fell to the ground.

Before he fainted, he vaguely saw Nangong Muxue, her face filled with panic, running toward him...

"Ugh..."

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng struggled to open his eyes, still feeling weak and powerless.

The venom from the thin, thread-like snake was too potent, and even his Bronze Battle Body couldn't resist it.

Fortunately, Ye Feng had reached the first level of the Alchemy Divine Technique, evolving his body to the first stage of the Bronze Battle Body, which saved him from death, only causing him to faint.

Now, Ye Feng looked around and found himself lying on a pile of dry grass in a dimly lit cave.

He looked at his leg and saw that the wound from the snake bite was wrapped in a piece of white silk.

Beside him on the ground was an old earthenware pot, emitting the lingering scent of herbs.
