Chapter 403: Chapter 403

"Let’s go, to the other side!" Qian Qi picked up Xu Jinghong, and like she had Qinggong, she swiftly flew through the Snake Vine area and took the shortest path straight to the other side of the Snake Vine area.

Xu Jinghong didn’t know if he had gotten used to it or had long since given up, choosing to lie flat in this princess carry, like a qualified freeloader.

Upon reaching the destination, Qian Qi put Xu Jinghong down and started another round of stone-snake-whipping; soon, a new twisted and chaotic "big braid" appeared in the sky.

"Hmm~" Admiring her handiwork, Qian Qi couldn’t help but boast to Xu Jinghong next to her, "How’s my braiding skill?"

Xu Jinghong glanced at the two big pigtails, numbed, and said, "Really high."

He had learned not to expect Qian Qi to solve problems using methods normal humans would use.

Qian Qi, feeling good, put her hands on her hips and surveyed the Fire Silk Grass.

Most of the Snake Vines were twisted in the air, although this solved the frequent attack problem, the dense vines caused a very small "hair gap, and places beyond the gap had no footing, so getting close to the flower stalk of the Fire Silk Grass became a problem.

"Emperor Python King!" Qian Qi pulled out an Emperor Python King and blew towards the sky, "Lend me your tail!"

The Emperor Python King quickly enlarged, its tail tip curled up Qian Qi, and threw her towards the thick stalk of the Fire Silk Grass like a baseball!

"Whew~~~" Qian Qi drew a splendid curve in the air and finally stuck to the flower stalk like a gecko glue, at this moment her position was thirteen inches below where the Demon Core was located, still a ways to go.

The flower stalk had semi-hard soft prickles, providing excellent friction and support, allowing her to jump upwards like a diligent little toad, releasing her limbs one by one.

Several fragmented Snake Vines sensed a foreign object and immediately attacked Qian Qi.

"Watch out behind you!" Seeing Snake Vines behind Qian Qi, Xu Jinghong quickly shouted to warn.

Qian Qi quickly released her grip and jumped upward but was still whipped by a fast-moving Snake Vine, leaving a torn stamp on her back. Blood splattered when the vine withdrew, which made the other vines restless.

Xu Jinghong clenched his fist, knowing injuries are unavoidable in a battle, but seeing her bleed still made him anxious and distressed.

After all, Qian Qi was the one battling the boss for him, while all he offered was insignificant culinary skills.

"Shouldn’t we stop fighting?" Seeing those Snake Vines attacking Qian Qi again, Xu Jinghong couldn’t help but shout.

"No way!" Qian Qi roared, "We’ve come so far!!!"

"I raided three Moyu nests, dirtied seven pairs of underwear, and even risked receiving diarrhea alerts during meals just to get here, how could I give up now!!!"

You even secretly counted how many pairs of underwear I used to wipe my butt?!

Fine, fight if you want! Who cares! You pervert!!!

Qian Qi gritted her teeth, the attack power of the Snake Vines was comparable to A-level, and her defense was only A-level, naturally, both sides could leave wounds, but it was not wise to stop now to apply Hemostatic Medicine unless the "foreign object" on the flower stalk was removed, these snake vines wouldn’t stop.

Just endure, it was necessary to climb to the Demon Core to strike it hard.

Facing the whip and piercing of these isolated snake vines, Qian Qi struggled upwards, fortunately, the Emperor Pythons were loyal enough to automatically use their scale armor to form a barrier protecting her nape and neck, saving her brain from being impaled by those snake vines.

Blood seeped down Qian Qi’s back, flowing onto the surface of the flower stalk, just as she was about to touch where the Demon Core was located, Qian Qi extracted the A-level knife from her waist and fiercely stabbed there, unexpectedly a snake vine lunged from the side, "whap" smacked her wrist hard.

This strike was powerful and timely, coincidentally removing the force from Qian Qi’s wrist, causing the A-level knife to slip and fall below, Qian Qi didn’t catch it in time and could only watch it drop into the snake vine pile, and soon lost sight of it amid their chaotic writhing.

"Damn it..." Qian Qi couldn’t help but curse, "Eight hundred million gone."

[A-level knife doesn’t seem worth eight hundred million, does it?] the system popped up, puzzled.

Qian Qi sneered, "This was a knife used by Qian Qi, how could it not be worth eight hundred million?!"

Alright, alright, brand premium, huh!

The Snake Vine that had struck Qian Qi’s wrist bent in the air, attacking towards her cheek, Qian Qi quickly drew out the Little Snake Stick from her waist, pressed the expansion switch with her middle finger to activate the large snake stick form, and forcefully swung it horizontally to shake off that snake vine, then rotated her numbed wrist and firmly jammed the stick’s base into the flower stalk, only leaving a short head exposed!

The flower stalk was pierced open, the entire flower sepal violently shuddered as if emitting a mournful wail, the surrounding snake vines became agitated, rapidly struggling to free themselves, while a thick, slippery, yet foot-scalding transparent liquid leaked from the stem wound causing Qian Qi’s body and feet to slide quickly.

"Whoa, damn! So hot, so hot!"

Fortunately, with the snake stick’s support, keeping Qian Qi from sliding down, she managed to grip the snake stick and hung on it, rubbing the sole of her feet to dissipate the heat.

The snake vines attacking Qian Qi sensed the flower stalk’s injury and immediately swarmed towards the wound!

"Ah haha, just in time!" Qian Qi leaped and grabbed onto one vine to cling to its body, at this moment the flower stalk was injured, most snake vines tangled together, like mismanaged electronic components in a data transfer, unable to handle any vine’s anomaly, only choosing to protect the "brain".

Thus, those tangled snake vines all rushed and struck the flower stalk wound!

"Uh huh, intelligence is nice, too bad that the Magic Plants’ intelligence is not as good as Magic Beasts’, and much less than humans." Qian Qi observed from afar and remarked.

The visible vines struck the wound, directly misaligning the A-level Snake Stick embedded in the flower stalk, the stick inside acted like a blender, grinding the nourishing tissue into shreds, also tearing the wound open into a larger gap.

Eventually, a snake vine even struck and forced the Snake Stick deeper, unable to be extracted anymore.

The widened wound caused thick sap to pour out unstoppably, Qian Qi called towards the Emperor Python King, "Emperor Python King! Spray venom on the wound!"

Such small wounds on the flower stalk were hardly fatal, without intervention it might even self-heal gradually, she wasn’t sure how long she would linger here, hence it was crucial to corrode the wound with venom to prevent self-recovery.

The Emperor Python King lifted its head and spat a mouthful of venom from afar, accurately aiming at the flower stalk wound.

The area near the wound soon rotted, the surrounding snake vines were bewildered, trying to use themselves to plug the wound, also drawing Qian Qi closer along the hanging snake vine, she slipped and crawled to the top, observing the wound had been destroyed into a big cavity by the stick.

Previously the stick’s distance wasn’t enough to strike the central Demon Core, however, now supplemented by her arm length would suffice.

Qian Qi slowly raised a mischievous smile.

She leapt, lightly jumped into the wound’s interior, like a small monkey scorched by hot feet, continually hopping as she cried "Oh, hmm, oooh" in heat, while her feet alternately hopped to pick up the stick and thrust it forcefully again.

This time, she distinctly felt it hit something hard. Fınd the newest release on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

The fierce collision between the stick and Demon Core triggered a wave of red shock energy to scatter abruptly, knocking Qian Qi back two steps, simultaneously, Xu Jinghong on the ground also clearly saw the snake vines still struggling all suddenly coming to a halt!

Qian Qi’s little head popped out from the flower stalk wound, hopping back and forth, waving her hand and shouting, "Emperor Python King! Quickly! Bring Little Hong over!"

Xu Jinghong: ... why she jumping so jubilantly? Why so excited?
