C31 Success
West Orange Mountain, the nest of the Fire Poison Scorpion Tail Crocodile.
The Scorpion Tail Crocodile felt rather depressed. A few days ago, it drank a little water and was mysteriously ambushed by someone using a stone. Although it killed a very powerful human in the end, it was also seriously injured. What made it even angrier was that after being prepared to take the Earthen Dragon Violet Sunflower, it was taken away by another weak human right in front of its very eyes.
And now, the human that had stolen the Earth Dragon Purple Sunflower had openly appeared in front of it again, and his aura had risen to the point that it felt danger.
The human in front of it was none other than Qin Yuan, who had broken through to a Six Star Warrior.
After he had successfully advanced, Qin Yuan quietly climbed out of the inn's window and came alone to the Western Orange Mountain. He prepared to kill the Flame Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile. The reason why he didn't tell Xiao Qi was because he was afraid that she would insist on coming along because she was worried about him.
Qin Yuan wasn't sure that he would be able to kill the overlord of the Class 1 and 6 Magical Beasts, the Scorpion-Tailed Flaming Scorpion Crocodile, unscathed.
At this moment, the Scorpion Tail Alligator's tail had already stood erect. That hook which was emitting that strange light was obviously highly toxic. If he was struck by it, even a Six Star Warrior would die.
Although it felt that Qin Yuan was a little dangerous, the Scorpion Tail Crocodile could no longer be bothered with him in his rage. It only wanted to tear the repulsive human in front of it to pieces and vent its anger.
With a roar, the Scorpion Tail Alligator transformed into a flying shuttle and pounced in front of Qin Yuan in the blink of an eye. Its venomous tail carried a sweet and fishy smell as it pierced towards Qin Yuan's head, seeking to pierce it.
After becoming a six star warrior, Qin Yuan's reaction and speed were incomparable. Before, the only thing he could see was the Scorpion Tail Alligator's figure moving slightly. But now, he could clearly see every single movement of the Scorpion Tail Alligator. With a roll, the crocodile dodged the tail hook's attack and turned around to launch a heavy punch onto the Scorpion Tail Alligator's head.
"Bang!"
The fist with the power of thunder collided with the scales of the Scorpion Tail Alligator, producing an ear-splitting sound.
The Scorpion Tail Crocodile's head tilted slightly from the impact, but it didn't receive any real damage. It turned its head around and took a bite.
Qin Yuan dodged to the side and smelled a fishy stench. At the same time, he saw a bloody mouth graze past his waist.
"That was close!"
With a kick on the Scorpion Tail Alligator's back, Qin Yuan flipped backwards, increasing the distance between him and the crocodile. He immediately switched to the Ice Vein type of astral energy.
The Fire Poison Scorpion's tail crocodile's speed was not much slower than Qin Yuan, and its scales were too tough. Those parts that had been pierced by the wolves were protected by the Fire Poison Scorpion's tail crocodile, making it almost impossible to hit them. Qin Yuan could only switch to the Ice Vein Aura first to limit its speed and slowly draw a diagram.
Qin Yuan knew that even steel would become fragile under low temperatures. On the other hand, the Fire Poison Scorpion Tail Crocodile's scales seemed to contain a large amount of iron. Using the Ice Vein Martial Seal to attack the same spot repeatedly might be able to make the scales become weak.
Thus, Qin Yuan did not directly use the martial skill that used up a great amount of astral energy, the Lancang Finger. Instead, he used his large success Blue Jade Fist Technique to continuously attack the head of the Scorpion Tail Alligator with the moves of the Qin family fist.
Seeing that Qin Yuan did not attack the injured parts, but instead continued to strike at the head's scale armor, which had the strongest defense, the Scorpion-Tailed Flaming Scorpion Crocodile could relax and attack.
Even the jackal from that day could not penetrate the scales on its head, let alone the weaker human in front of it.
"Now is the time!" A layer of frost had already appeared on Qin Guan's scales that he had repeatedly struck. Knowing that the time was ripe, he switched to the astral energy and changed it to the sharp blade attribute.
"Shocking Waves!"
Her jade-green finger pointed out horizontally, and it landed on the patch of frost on the Fire Poison Scorpion's tail crocodile's head.
As he pointed, a faint light flashed in Qin Yuan's mind. He seemed to have a different understanding of the second style of the Lancaon Finger – 'Hidden Finger'. However, the light only flashed for a moment before he had a chance to capture it completely.
With a crisp sound, in the midst of the Scorpion Tail Alligator's frightened howls, the frost covered scales shattered. The sharp Astral Qi pierced through the Scorpion Tail Alligator's skull, destroying its fragile brain.
Qin Yuan quickly dodged and landed steadily on the ground. He saw the giant body of the Scorpion Tail Alligator crazily flopping about. With its brain destroyed, this tenacious magical beast did not die instantly. It struggled for a long time before gradually calming down.
Qin Yuan did not dare to be careless. He took precautions as he approached the Scorpion Tail Alligator's corpse and struck its soft eyes.
Qin Yuan cut open his stomach that was not covered in the scales and smoothly took out the heart of the Scorpion Tail Alligator. He then put it into the cold jade box.
"It's a pity that we don't have any monster cores and our scales are incomplete. Otherwise, we would have been able to sell them for a high price …" Then he smiled. "Forget it, don't be too greedy. It's already good enough that we can get the heart of the Flame Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile."
Having done all this, Qin Yuan left Mount Tangerine and returned to the inn.
"Humph!" Do you think I'm going to drag you down? " Xiao Qi crossed her waist and looked angrily at Qin Yuan.
"Eh …" Qin Yuan was forced back a few steps by Little Seven until he came face to face with the wall. He had nowhere to retreat to. "To be honest, yes."
Xiao Qi pinched Qin Yuan's waist hard. Seeing Qin Yuan's grimace instantly break, she couldn't help but giggle. She no longer pretended to be angry and asked, "So, are you going to go back next?"
"That's right …" There are only a few days left until the Clan Martial Meet, and even if you were to use a cold jade box to preserve it, the Scorpion-Tailed Alligator's heart will not be able to stay fresh for a long period of time. " Qin Yuan nodded.
Xiao Qi went silent, and said after a while, "Then …" Will we meet again? "
"Of course! Aren't you living in Chu Shi City? We can meet more often when we get back. If you don't mind, you can come with me to be a ranger. Don't you like doing chivalrous things? There are a lot of things that can satisfy you in the Ranger Quest. "
Xiao Qi's eyes were a little lonely, as if she didn't really want to go back.
"Do you know? "Actually, I hate hearing about my family. Even though this is a bit unfilial, but …"
Qin Yuan stiffly embraced Xiao Qi in his arms. "We are the same. In my clan, there are many scheming and scheming people. To them, the word 'family' is not even worth a single gold coin. "
Suddenly hugged by Qin Yuan like this, Xiao Qi was so scared that she pressed her hand against Qin Yuan's chest. Subconsciously, she wanted to push him away, but she put her hand down and let Qin Yuan hug her, "The people from the family treat me very well, but … My philosophy is the opposite of theirs. They took it for granted, but I thought it was wrong. That's why I snuck out in a huff. "
Qin Yuan gradually relaxed, feeling Little Seven's thumping heart beat. He didn't say anything else and just quietly hugged her.
If not for meeting Xiao Qi, Qin Yuan would have forgotten that he had only lived for fifteen years and that he was still a teenager.
In the past, he had been forced to be mature and calm, forced to fight for his best hope in a harsh environment. Being with Xiao Qi for such a short period of time was the happiest thing that had happened to him in so many years.
At this moment, in Qin Yuan's heart, he only wished that he could continue to play and play with Little Seven. He did not need to wear a mask; instead, he needed to fight in the open and fight in the shadows.
Until a very, very long time later, Qin Yuan was unable to forget this one and only hug with Xiao Qi.
