57 "Red Snake with a Scorpion Stinger"

After leaving the restaurant, Ling Tian arrived at the Mercenary Union in order to find Information about Dragon Valley and where he can Class 4 Snake Type Magical Beast. He bought a map of the Dragon Valley and then headed straight out of Ziyou city.

Ling Tian Little white on the Ground and said: "Little white I want you to take care of Chu'er and her mother. I will be back before sunrise, okay?"

"Awoo"

Little White gave a lite nod and disappeared in the darkness of the night.

he advanced forward alone to the Dragon Valley.

The Dragon Valley was only about 30 kilometers away from Ziyou City. After rushing towards the mountains, Ling Tian finally arrived at the edge of the Dragon Valley 20 minutes later.

A stretch of forest bordered the edges of the Dragon Valley and deep inside the forest was a large mountain range. Within the mountain range were numerous magical beasts The environment inside was vile as well, and according to the description of the Dragon Valley from the map, there were countless poisonous vipers and insects within the forest. Not only that, swamps could also be found all over, and if a person were not careful, they could sink into one. Without the help of a companion, it would be extremely difficult to escape with their life.

The proverbs once said that fortune and danger live together. So while the Dragon Valley had many dangers, at the same time, there was also treasure to be found. The Magical Beasts frequently fought each other, so upon their deaths, their monster cores would be preserved. If one had good luck, then they would be able to come across a few magical beast corpses that still had their cores, and collect them, but the chances of that happening were still rather low.

Monster cores could be used by the magical beasts as well, but the lowest rank of magical beasts didn't know if or how it could be used and only operated on instinct.

After covering a stretch of road, Ling Tian finally entered the depths of the forest, and without stopping, continued on his path towards the Dragon Valley.

The forest had weeds everywhere that reached the height of a regular person, completely blocking his vision. In this type of environment, one could lose their way if they weren't careful.

Every few steps Ling Tian would jump onto a huge tree to view the surrounding routes around him to ensure that he hadn't lost his path, allowing him to keep track of where he was. Every so often, he would find a viper hidden in between the blades of grass, but with his "Perception", he could easily perceive it and take care of the vipers whenever they appeared.

After traveling for 2 hours, Ling Tian finally entered the depths of the forest, where ferocious beasts were beginning to gradually appear.

At that instant, a dark green figure leaped out from the weeds and attempted to attack Ling Tian from behind with extreme speed.

Just as the dark green figure approached Ling Tian, a white light flashed past, and a silver sword suddenly appeared. It accurately pierced into the green figure's concealed body with an unmatched quickness.

The moment after the sword made contact, Ling Tian's body swayed, and he shifted half a meter to the side. The moment he moved away, a soft 'bang' could be heard as the dark green figure fell at where Ling Tian had just been standing.

Only now was he able to clearly see that the dark green figure was a beast that looked similar to a leopard. Its neck was already soaked with blood that continuously poured out from its deep wound.

Ling Tian's gaze swept across the Tiger-type beast lying on the ground. He then continued to advance into the forest. He could tell from a single glance that the beast was only a normal wild animal; it wasn't even a Class 1 Magical Beast. There was absolutely no monster core that could be retrieved from within its body; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily.

"Roar!"

"Aooo!"

As Ling Tian continued to travel deeper into the forest, the howls of magical beasts gradually started to fill the air. There were many different types of cries; some were unpleasant as they sounded like the wails of malicious spirits that made anyone hearing it feel terrified.

At that moment, Ling Tian suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around, and his eyes flashed with a serious light as he stared towards his side. The silver Lonely Wind Sword materialized in his hand.

This was the first time Ling Tian displayed such a serious expression since he first entered the forest.

A faint 'sha sha' sound emitted from the location Ling Tian was looking towards. Shortly after, a red snake with scorpion stinger at the end of his tail slowly appeared within Ling Tian's line of sight.

The red snake with scorpion stinger at the end of his tail was extremely large. Its body alone was a meter wide, and two meters long. A poisonous stinger hung from the end of its tail, which was at least 5-6 meters long. Right on its head, a pair of jade, beady eyes started to flicker with a strange glow.

The red snake with scorpion stinger at the end of his tail headed straight towards Ling Tian. Only after it was 5 meters away from Ling Tian did it stop its advance. Its bright eyes flashed with a strange glint as it locked its gaze onto Ling Tian, brandishing its stinger at Ling Tian as a "zhi zhi" sound came from its mouth.

The silver Lonely Wind Sword in Ling Tian's hand was enveloped in a hazy glow. Immediately, he attacked first and his body blurred as he shot towards the scorpion with his blade.
