Continue Exploring the Forest!

After eating his fill, Lin Tian stood on the spot while he was deep in thought.

This place was actually not too far away from the Novice Village. From what everyone had said in the public chat channel over the past two days, this area was apparently only filled with level one exotic beasts.

The silver-armored wolf that he picked up yesterday was a level-one exotic beast. In fact, these kinds of exotic beasts have simple yet sharp attacks. As long as the humans facing it were in a good formation and kept calm, a small creature like these would have no way of taking advantage of the humans at all.

The attributes from fighting level-one exotic beast were not worth even 10 points. Facing Lin Tian, whose attributes were all above 10, these creatures were naturally helpless.

'My strength is really not bad.' Lin Tian fiddled with the small knife in his hand as he thought to himself. 

However, would it not be too easy for him to kill a Level 1 Demonic Beast?

Lin Tian turned his head to look at the depths of the forest and swallowed. He knew that great wealth comes from great danger. He could go inside to explore and see if there were any good things.

He did exactly that. His attribute points and his talent had given him complete confidence. He killed the fire on the ground, stood up and walked into the depths of the forest.

Not long after he walked out, Lin Tian could already feel that the chill in the air was getting stronger.

Perhaps it was just a psychological effect. Lin Tian cheered himself on as he continued to walk forward.

Lin Tian suddenly noticed that there was a faint fragrance in the air. He had never experienced such a smell on the blue planet before. 

What could it be? Following the scent in the air, Lin Tian walked forward even more carefully.

After another round of trekking, he finally found the source of the fragrance. It was the fruit on the big tree right in front of him.

That tree was huge, but there was only one fruit on the entire tree. The fruit was only the size of a fist, but the fragrance it emitted was so strong that Lin Tian could smell it from far away.

'Hahaha! Good! This is really a good thing! How could I let it go? Who cares about the reason for it to smell like this? Let's get it down first!'

Lin Tian stabbed his knife into the trunk of the tree to help him climb up. When he was about 10 meters away from the ground, he felt that there was something hidden at the top of the tree. Moreover, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him. 

Perhaps he was just being paranoid?

He stopped and looked around carefully. Indeed, he did not find anything strange.

'Forget it, then. Let's go up and take a look first!'

It was terrifyingly quiet. There was only the sound of him constantly stabbing his knife into the trunk and climbing up.

After climbing a few meters up, he stopped again. Where did the feeling of being watched come from?

Just as he was still puzzled, a pair of dark golden pupils suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking at those eyes, Lin Tian was shocked - it was a cold-blooded animal!

It was a snake. Or rather, a giant snake.

Lin Tian quickly let go of his grip on the knife. Using the branches under his feet as a buffer, he landed on the ground. He then looked up and saw that the giant snake had already slowly poked its head out from the bushes. It had only moved its body a little, yet the entire tree made a small, terrifying sound.

Lin Tian could already feel the cold sweat dripping from his body. He already knew the attribute value of this huge snake. It was a Level two Demonic Beast. 

The patterns on its body were all similar to a tree with wood-like patterns. No wonder this fellow could hide among the tree branches just now, yet he had not noticed it at all. 

A level two Demonic Beast was definitely not a joke to the people in the Novice Village. When he woke up this morning, he saw more than twenty people surrounding a level two Demonic Beast in the Novice Village. In the end, they only managed to kill the creature at the cost of two lives. 

However, the stats of this giant snake was still lower than his. Lin Tian organized his thoughts and decided to make a move!

The man and the snake stared at each other in the forest. Its body was at least half a meter thick and it was extremely fast. Just as Lin Tian was hesitating, it had already launched an attack. However, this was exactly what Lin Tian wanted - he was waiting for his opponent to make a move. 

He dodged the snake's head that was coming toward him. It brushed past him and he directly pressed down on the giant snake's head with his might. The knife in his hand then went directly into the snake's eye.

However, the opponent's counter-attacks also came one after another. Its tail swung in the air, and the end of its tail violently struck Lin Tian's body. Lin Tian was unable to dodge this strike, so he grabbed his knife and flew out instead. 

How could a beast like this give Lin Tian a chance to think? The snakehead directly coiled up from Lin Tian's feet and was intended to strike him to death. 

However, Lin Tian also immediately reacted. If the snake struck him first, he would not have any room to retaliate. His left hand dug into the giant snake's injured eye socket and forcefully dug out its eyeball.

The giant snake could not bear the pain and its entire body trembled, giving Lin Tian a chance to break free.

There was a saying that seven inches from the snake's eyes are the location of its heart. However, at this moment, Lin Tian was unable to find the heart of the snake. He flipped the knife in his hand and held it in a reverse direction. He then dragged the knife downwards and sliced through the belly of the snake!

He crashed into the ground earlier, so he was a little dizzy. However, he had gained the upper hand in the battle, and he could not let the opportunity go. He continued moving the knife in his hand downwards. The snake's tail then struck once again, flipping Lin Tian over.

However, Lin Tian had already torn a large hole in its abdomen. The more it moved, the faster it would die.

The snake's head appeared in front of him once again. Without hesitation, Lin Tian dug the knife into its chin, moved it upwards, and smashed its brain into pieces.

[ You have gained 18 experience points. Current level: 1(23/100) ]

Lin Tian stood up from the puddle of blood and stabbed the giant snake a few more times before letting out a long sigh.

There should not be anything disturbing him now. Lin Tian quickly climbed up the tree and picked the fruit that was emitting a strange fragrance.

[ Long snake spirit fruit: After consuming it, your resistance to poison will increase by 30 points. ]

30 points! His current resistance to poison was only around 20 points. That was almost double!

In the forest, he would encounter some miasma and poisonous fog. There would also be all kinds of poisonous insects harassing him. If he ate the fruit and increased his poison resistance by 30 points, these little insects would not be a problem at all.

After eating the fruit, Lin Tian dragged the giant snake's corpse and continued deeper into the forest.
