Chapter 41

Just in these few breaths, the struggle between the two had already fallen from its peak, gradually weakening, and both were now cherishing their vital energy, no longer recklessly consuming it as before. Even so, the originally ten or so yards of open space had already been widened by several yards, with scorched and fallen trees and white frost scattered everywhere.

The weaker they became, the closer Chu He could get.

The two were very sensitive to unusual auras; even if Chu He moved quietly, he could not escape their notice. However, the battle had reached its most critical point, and they could no longer pay attention to him.

More than ten yards away in the air, Chu He used the dense foliage to conceal his figure, holding a Wind Blade spell talisman in his hand. He carefully watched the scene ahead and suddenly raised his hand.

"Whoosh!" Two clear white wind blades accurately struck the white snake.

These two wind blades contained considerable power. Even with the Fire Python's tough body, it was still hit hard and rolled to the side.

The white little beast was extremely agile and took advantage of this rare opportunity to spit out a cold light with a "sizzle," hitting it right on target.

A layer of not thin ice quickly formed on the Fire Python's body as the cold light spread.

The moment Chu He released the wind blades, he quickly moved away, using the Flying Cloud Leap to dodge to another place.

Chu He's attack did not cause much damage, but the cold light was quite severe. Ice and fire were inherently opposed, and the damage between them was greatly increased.

"Hisss!" The Fire Python let out a mournful cry, flames rising all over its body, instantly melting the ice layer.

Just then, two more wind blades came, almost hitting its vital areas.

Chu He had calculated this move, but it was slightly off, missing the Fire Python's "vital point."

As the saying goes, to strike a snake, aim for its vital point. Hitting the Fire Python's heart would surely weaken it and turn the tide.

After being repeatedly ambushed, the Fire Python now directed much of its hatred toward Chu He. A persistent "fly" was the most annoying, and taking advantage of its weakness was even more despicable.

The white little beast was very conspicuous. Seeing a noble helper, it stubbornly held on, preventing the Fire Python from dealing with Chu He for the moment.

"Yay!" After several attempts, Chu He finally hit the Fire Python's "vital point."

The Fire Python's "vital point" was not hard to find; the scales there were extremely red and very noticeable. Moreover, the Fire Python always protected this area when attacking.

"Ooh!" Struck in a vital area, the Fire Python almost couldn't breathe, and in a daze, it was hit hard again by the little beast, causing it to let out mournful cries. The cold energy, which was inherently opposed to its nature, was causing significant trouble, and its vital energy was already becoming sluggish.

In an instant, it suddenly abandoned the little beast and quickly darted toward Chu He.

Although its body was thick, it moved as fast as an arrow, easily weaving through the gaps between the branches, reaching a few yards in front of Chu He in a flash.

It seemed determined to deal with Chu He first. Chu He could easily hit its vital points, and the threat he posed was clearly greater than that of the white little beast. This creature seemed to have become quite intelligent.

On the ground, Chu He could never outrun the Fire Python, but with the Flying Cloud Leap, he only needed to rise quickly.

At the same time, two spell talismans left his hands, transforming into magical light and flying accurately toward the Fire Python's "vital point."

However, Chu He underestimated the Fire Python's determination to take him down. A layer of red demonic light enveloped the Fire Python's body, completely unafraid of the wind blades.

"Zzzt!" The wind blades hit the Fire Python's "vital point" but could only scatter into streams of flames.

The wind blades failed to stop the Fire Python for even a moment, and in an instant, the fierce snake head opened its blood-red mouth right in front of Chu He.

Facing the row of white teeth covered in foul saliva, Chu He sneered, "Idiot!" He extended his other hand, and a white light flew out, transforming into a tenfold larger long cone as it turned, heading straight for the blood-red mouth.

As soon as the white light emerged, a cold aura spread, freezing the surrounding vital energy.

A mid-grade Ice Spike spell talisman could produce a cone of ice as hard as fine steel. Not only could it pierce, but it could also be remotely detonated, turning into sharp ice shards that shot out in all directions.

The Fire Python originally intended to swallow Chu He with its speed, but it didn't expect him to still have a killing move in such a hurry, and he was calm and well-timed.

"Zzzt!" The ice cone, like a sharp knife, entered through the throat and quickly moved inside the Fire Python's body.

Although the Fire Python's outer skin was extremely tough, its internal organs were much more fragile. This strike immediately took half its life.

However, Chu He's methods did not end there. He extended his hand and pinched the air, and a muffled "thud" came from the Fire Python's belly.

Detonating the ice cone from a distance, the Fire Python could no longer bear it, let out a mournful cry, and fell to the ground. It was not dead yet, thrashing its body like a water bucket, hitting the ground and emitting piercing screams.

"Boom!" A cold aura surged, and white smoke spread. The little beast seized the opportunity and struck the Fire Python's "vital point" accurately.

This little creature truly had a spirit. It had seen what Chu He had done and understood the Fire Python's vital point, and it seized the opportunity perfectly.

After being struck again, the Fire Python could no longer hold on and died after a few breaths. However, before dying, it had stirred the surrounding area, causing chaos, showing its terrifying strength.

"Ooh!" The little beast ran to the remains of the cultivator and was mourning softly.

Chu He, emboldened, descended from the Flying Cloud Leap and slowly approached. Seeing that the little creature had no unusual reaction, he was relieved. However, he did not have the courage to thoroughly search the remains yet.

After the intense battle, the ice on the cultivator's body had melted, revealing an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

What caught Chu He's eye was the storage ring on the man's finger and the spirit beast bag at his waist. The magical robe he wore also seemed quite good, possibly even a "Treasure" grade item...

"Little one, your master has passed away. Why don't we bury him properly so that no bad things come to him?" Not knowing if it understood, Chu He gestured and made many movements, trying to make it understand.

A third-level spirit beast should not have a low IQ. After a while, seeing it nod its head, Chu He was overjoyed and rushed over.

"Brother, I will bury you properly and cleanly..." While speaking, his hands were not idle, feeling the body several times while straightening the clothes.

He then dug a deep hole and buried the cultivator. Fortunately, the soil here was soft; otherwise, he would have had to spend a lot of effort without any tools.

The magical robe the cultivator wore was also quite valuable, but Chu He had long suppressed his greed and did not strip it off. He neatly arranged the hair and clothes before burying the body.

Although death ends all, giving the deceased a dignified send-off was still a matter of conscience.

The little beast stood to the side, its round eyes watching Chu He busily. Although it showed a hint of suspicion when Chu He took some items, it mostly expressed gratitude with its watery eyes.
