Chapter 16: Red-Tailed Fire Sand Snake!

Hiss!

An inconspicuous hissing sound seemed to be heard in the whistling evening breeze.

"What sound?" Shen Tian frowned, holding the Soaring Rainbow sword in his hand, and gently pushed it open with his left thumb. The sword was half out of the sheath, revealing a sharp cold light.

The desert is even more dangerous at night. Many magic beasts only come out to move around at night. Therefore, even a slight sound would immediately arouse Shen Tian's high alert.

Shen Tian 's eyes were like swords, his sharp gaze flashing with brilliance, and with the help of the residual light from the fire, he looked around.

But the night was too dark, and darkness had a great impact on eyesight. Shen Tian looked around but did not find any trace.

Hiss!

A subtle sound entered Shen Tian's ears, and this time the sound seemed to be a little louder.

"It's quite interesting. It's quite good at dodging." Shen Tian smiled faintly, bent his body slightly, reached his right hand into the yellow sand, closed his eyes slightly, and his perception quickly spread in all directions like a tide.

Unlocking the detection ability of the awakened gold element, this is its true use.

With the help of this ability, he can clearly sense all objects and even auras within a radius of one thousand meters, and obtain certain information from them.

And as his strength increases, this detection capability will become even more powerful.

Shen Tian explored carefully, and suddenly his movements stopped, his eyes opened, and a gleam of light shone in them.

'Found it!' Shen Tian stretched out his right hand and threw out two moonstones, then his body shot out like an arrow.

With a clang, the Soaring Rainbow Sword was pulled out of the scabbard. Shen Tian held the sword in his hand and a sharp sword energy shot forward.

Ding!...

The sword energy flew out and collided with the black shadow, sparks flew, and suddenly a sound was heard.

Shen Tian came with a sword in his hand, and with the help of the light from the moonstone, he could see the newcomer clearly.

This is a snake, a big snake that is five meters long.

It is covered with yellow crystal-like scales. The scales are plump and shiny, with a hint of steel texture, and it is obvious that it has strong defense.

There was a fiery red flame mark on its head, which was flat and triangular in shape. Its mouth was wide open, revealing long and sharp fangs. Its pale green diamond-shaped eyes stared at Shen Tian intently, and its forked tongue moved in and out, making a hissing sound. Saliva dripped from its mouth and fell on the desert, corroding the surrounding sand.

The red snake's tail swayed slightly, the snake's body coiled up, and the snake's head was raised high, revealing its strong aggressiveness.

"Red-tailed Fire Sand Snake!" Shen Tian whispered to himself and recognized this magical beast at a glance.

The Red-tailed Fire Sand Snake is considered to be a very powerful type among first-rank magic beasts. It has the dual attributes of fire and earth. Although they are very complicated, this does not prevent it from having extremely high defense and strong attack power.

If the red-tailed fire sand snake can grow smoothly, it has the opportunity to grow into a fifth-rank magic beast. At that time, its body length will be enough to grow to 20 to 30 meters. The one in front of it is only five meters long. In a sense, it can only be regarded as a larva.

However, even if it is just a larva, its strength is definitely at the peak of the first-rank magic beast. Even a Nine-Star Dou Zhe among humans may not be able to defeat it.

If it were the desert corpse-eating ants that Shen Tian encountered during the day, they would swarm over and it would not be certain whether they could break through the defense of the red-tailed fire sand snake.

"Finally, I encountered a decent magic beast."

After recognizing the Red-tailed Fire Sand Snake, Shen Tian was not surprised but happy. Only such a magic beast was worthy of his attack.

Moreover, magic beasts with a high growth limit like the Red-tailed Flame Sand Snake have a very high chance of possessing magic cores. Even if they are all first-rank magic cores, the magic core of a magic beast like the Red-tailed Flame Sand Snake can be equivalent to several ordinary first-rank magic cores.

"I will accept your magic core as compensation for disturbing me." Shen Tian stood with a sword in his hand, a gleam in his eyes.

As if it understood what Shen Tian said, the red-tailed fire sand snake's pupils glowed green, and the snake's body leaped up, with its ferocious head flying towards Shen Tian.

"Come on." Shen Tian shouted, turned his feet, and quickly dodged the attack of the red-tailed fire sand snake. The Soaring Rainbow Sword in his hand swept the sword energy and attacked the red-tailed fire sand snake.

Bite! bite! bite!....

The sword energy struck the red-tailed fire sand snake, making a crisp sound. Where the sword energy burst out, crystal-like yellow scales were broken open, revealing bright red flesh and blood.

But that was all, the sword energy was unable to move forward. Given the length of the Red-tailed Fire Sand Snake, the collapse of these tiny scales did not cause much damage to it except for causing it a little pain.

"Wow, it's pretty hard. I guess I have to be more serious." Shen Tian's smile faded slightly, and the innate golden Dou Qi in his body surged, wrapping the Soaring Rainbow Sword, and the Soaring Rainbow Sword was stained with a faint golden light.

Shen Tian slash forward as the circular sword energy circled one after another, quickly attacking the red-tailed fire sand snake.

The red-tailed fire sand snake leaped quickly and avoided most of the sword energy. The remaining sword energy hit the red-tailed fire sand snake and immediately exerted a powerful penetrating ability.
