As Meng Xiao reach the cave, she became ready for battle. Holding the silver reflective mirror in her right hand, she made her way into the cave.
As usual, the cave is pitch black and the snake is nowhere to be found.
"Since you like to hide, I will force you out," Meng Xiao said.
She raises the mirror and blasts the deeper part of the cave.
"Boom... " A loud noise is heard and the cave begins to crumble.
"His... " a loud and angry noise was heard. The sleeping snake became pissed off and its ruby-red eyes stare at meng xiao with a deep hatred for destroying its home.
The snake already knows that she is a weak annoying pest, so it came out fully from the dark using its huge body to block the way out to prevent her from using the same escape trick again.
Seeing the snake, meng xiao beams with a smile, the fearful expression that is supposed to be on her face is nowhere to be seen. "Do you think I will run away like before? I have already said that the day we meet will be your last. And now I have come to end your existence meng Xiao said.
"Whoosh" a compressed lightning bolt was fired straight at meng xiao.
Meng Xiao skillfully dodges the lightning bolt.
"I will show you who is best at sneak attacks" meng xiao said as she disappear from the snake's sight.
"Hisss"... the snake who taught she have escaped again roared in annoyance. This is the second time has she escaped from it.
"Blast" meng Xiao who has disappeared from the snake, merging with the darkness and displaying her skill as a thief to the extreme. She fired a portion of the accumulated power which she got from the wolf brothers. Firing the powers of both fire and ice towards the pissed-off snake.
"His... " the snake roared as it turn its back. It discovers a deep wound on its body. Looking around, it couldn't find the cause of it.
Meng Xiao who was the cause carefully slipped away, she plan to make the snake feel what it is like to get sneaked and attacked.
"Boom" meng xiao fired at the snake again.
"His... "The snake who is now angry radiate with lightning all around its body. It is using the light from the lighting to illuminate the cave and also using it to force meng xiao out of her hiding.
"Why are you so smart?" meng xiao complained inwardly as she come out of the dark facing the angry snake.
"Whoosh," the lighting snake takes the initiative to attack first. It compressed all the light that radiate its body into one point and fired it to her.
Meng Xiao quickly force out every last power contained in the mirror and equally fired at the snake and also block the incoming wave of attack.
"Boom..... "An earth-shaking noise erupts from the cave as the snake falls dead.
How can one grade four magic beast take on an attack from two grade four magic beasts of different elements?
Seeing the dead snake, meng xiao beams with a smile "An eye for an eye, that's what you get for trying to kill me".
"(Ding, the host has completed a mission and received the ability to know and differentiate herbs)" the system voice sounded in meng xiao's ears.
"Know and differentiate all kinds of herbs, that will be a lot helpful" meng xiao said as she strolled to the dead snake.

As meng xiao sees her status she cut off the head of the lightning snake and retrieves the beast's core.
"what a shame, the teeth of the snake could be you for poison or antidote and I could have earned a lot of money from it but now the head is damaged and so are the teeth destroyed".
"It's okay, the scale can be of good use to me" meng xiao said inwardly as she tap her interspatial necklace.
A gold halo light came out and revolve around the snake's huge body, when the light disappeared the snake's scaleless body appear.
If the poor snake saw its pitiful state, it would have cried at the horrible act of this wicked human.
The size of the beast core of the snake is the size of her hand and lightning runs freely around it.
"(Ding, the host has unlocked a new title: Beast Slayer)" xiu voice resounded in the cave.
"Beast slayer, that's a good title that matches my personality" meng xiao said with a smile.
Since we are done here, we should head back now" meng xiao said as she store the beast core in her interspatial necklace.
Back at the Meng family compound.
"The ceremony must not be forcefully stopped, I will go and buy more magic beast" meng yan said as he prepare to head out.
The remaining magic beast can only last for two hours at most and meng xiao shows no sign of heading back.
Meng Xiao who have begun heading back met the two guards who took her to the forbidden forest.
"Hey," meng xiao called as she waved her hands at them.
"Young miss, you made it back alive?" The skinny guards asked in surprise. He did not expect this little thing to go into the forest and come back alive due to her weak physique. And what is even more shocking is that there is no visible wound on her body.
"Young miss, since it is your first time going to the forest, it is okay if you did not manage to kill a be," the skinny guard said. He expected that she is too scared to even confront a magic beast not to talk less of killing one.
"You talk too much," the bulky guard said as her turn, heading back to the Meng family compound.
To him, he did not care if she manage to kill a beast, all he knows that his job is completed.
