Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Xuan still hadn’t found the lair of the spider. Because this thing was weak, it hid very well so that it wouldn’t be easily discovered by ghosts. However, Lin Xuan unexpectedly found another type of monster that was more suitable, the scarlet underworld snake.

A scarlet underworld snake that had entered yellow-rank was about a meter long. Its entire body was scarlet and red. It was glowing red and flowing black. It was rather strange. Moreover, there was a rather disgusting wart on its head. It was said that it had the bloodline of a divine dragon, it was possible that it could transform into a dragon.

This was true. There was an earth-rank ghost king in the Yin Spirit Realm. It was formed by the scarlet underworld snake in the form of a dragon. It was called the scarlet underworld ghost king. Its scientific name was the scarlet underworld dragon.

In front of Lin Xuan was a huge nest of scarlet underworld snakes. There were many of them. One by one, they entangled together. No one knew what they were doing. Moreover, the black and red colors complemented each other. It was really unbearable to watch.

A huge scarlet underworld snake raised its head from the depths of the snake cave. Its scarlet red snake eyes stared coldly at Lin Xuan as if to warn him and intimidate him. However, it felt that Lin Xuan was not someone to be trifled with. Immediately, it called out to its members as well.

Another huge scarlet underworld snake raised its head and hissed as it stuck out its tongue. Its mouth opened slightly, revealing two dark fangs. Its body curled up as if it was about to launch an attack.

The scarlet underworld snake was a dark, fire-type Yin Spirit beast. Once it advanced to the mystic-rank, its bloodline would undergo a transition. Those with stronger dark attributes would become the dark scarlet underworld snake. They would move stealthily and move silently, the fangs contained dark-type poison, while those with stronger fire attributes would become the fiery scarlet underworld snake. When it opened its mouth, it would summon wind and fire.

In other words, one was more like an assassin, while the other was a mage.

Two scarlet underworld snakes were still within the range that could be dealt with.

Lin Xuan calculated in his heart. This time, his goal was to kill a large number of yellow-rank scarlet underworld snakes.

Just as he made up his mind, he saw that the scarlet underworld snake was getting impatient. He had not seen Lin Xuan retreat for a long time and thought that he had made up his mind to deal with the two of them. He immediately stopped waiting and took the initiative to attack Lin Xuan, he opened his bloody mouth and released a mouthful of venom. The two poisonous fangs were ready.

Lin Xuan lowered his body and swung the flaming saber in his hand. He hacked at the scarlet underworld snake’s chin and then used the force to charge forward. Unexpectedly, a ball of green ghostly fire mixed with yin wind smashed toward him.

This was the cooperation between the dark scarlet underworld snake and the fiery scarlet underworld snake. It was impossible for the couple to have no ability to control such territory in the Yin Spirit Realm.

Scatter!

This mere ball of ghost fire could not do anything to Lin Xuan. He took the opportunity to slash out a blade and directly split the fire. Then, the remaining blade wind immediately dispersed and broke into pieces, scattering in all directions. For a moment, countless crimson underworld snakes were in trouble.

Lin Xuan revealed a trace of a smile on his face. Mastery of wind-fluttering controlled the wind currents to quietly bring the spoils of war that fell to the ground near Lin Xuan and then put them into his personal space. A small harvest.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind him. Lin Xuan rolled on the ground and dodged the attack of the dark scarlet underworld snakes. Then, he shifted his position. The nearby scarlet underworld snakes were almost killed and he had to change his direction. Thus, Lin Xuan kept shifting his position, from time to time, he would slash out a blade to change the color of the two snakes. In reality, it was to clear the area.

It was about time.

Looking at the current cave that was full of potholes now caused Lin Xuan’s smile to appear. There were corpses of scarlet underworld snakes everywhere. Only a few hundred of them were still alive.

Snakes were indeed cold-blooded animals. The scarlet underworld snake did not care about their own kind at all. In fact, some of the scarlet underworld snakes were killed by them when they used their skills.

A smile hung on Lin Xuan’s face. Then, he retreated step by step out of the Snake Cave. The two giant snakes did not chase after him. They only stared at him with their vertical snake eyes until Lin Xuan completely disappeared in front of their eyes. Only then did they let out a few hisses, they coiled back into the depths of the snake cave.

There were too many scarlet underworld snakes. Their small Snake Cave could no longer bear the energy needed for cultivation. They could either start a war with other Yin gathering places or slaughter a batch of scarlet underworld snakes.

The scarlet underworld snake was just a small interlude. Lin Xuan continued forward and found quite a few types of Yin Spirits that he didn’t find last time.

The shadow hunting mantis was a type of solitary black grade yin spirit wild monster. It was very powerful. Not only was its movement speed extremely fast, but its attack power was also outstanding. When its two scythe-like arms waved, it would advance and retreat in an illusionary pattern.

As for why Lin Xuan was following it, well, it was mainly because it liked to hunt large groups of weak Yin Spirits. Lin Xuan could not find the nest, so he ended up following it to its base.

Right then, an exceptionally funny scene appeared. The mantis finally found its resting stop and somehow immediately died on the spot.

Convenient, isn’t it?

As for whether the shadow hunting mantis would be dumbstruck the next time it visited, it would discover that everything in its base had been raided.

Lin Xuan’s act of exterminating everything interfered with the orderly operation of the natural ecosystem and destroyed the sustainable development and development of the resources of the Yin Spirit Realm. However, if the shadow hunting mantis were to do the same, that would be going against the law of the forest. It was naturally the survival of the fittest. It was a natural choice!

With that, Lin Xuan’s fourth skill had already been activated by more than half and was about to be fully activated very soon.

He quietly left and decided to walk the rest of the way on his own.

Fortunately, there were a lot of Yin Spirit wild monsters nearby. After clearing it in one round, it was finally enough for him. He glanced at the huge valley not far away and could smell the stench of fresh blood from afar, moreover, a thick layer of bloody mist appeared in the sky.

Lin Xuan chuckled. Clearing this valley dungeon should be enough!
