Chapter 185: Success

Li Yuan launched a surprise attack from about 50 meters away from the Flying Snake perimeter, but the Flying Snake circle surrounded the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood by about a hundred meters.

Therefore, under Li Yuan's frantic eruption, he avoided the attacks of several Flying Snakes within a second, and even directly killed one, leaving him less than a hundred meters from the ancient wood.

At this moment, the level 19 Flying Snake group, which had been relatively quiet and many were even looking up at the great battle above the canyon, went completely crazy.

"Ang~"

"Awoo~" The dozens of Flying Snakes that had originally been guarding the surroundings transmitted their hissing sounds frantically in all directions.

Their narrow, scarlet eyes were now staring fixedly at Li Yuan, wishing they could swallow Li Yuan alive.

Without hesitation.

Boom! Boom! Boom! These level 19 Flying Snakes swam their huge bodies, and while hissing, they had already rushed towards Li Yuan frantically, attempting to stop him.

Spirit tree!

This was not just a guarding mission given to them by the three great leaders, but also a longing in their hearts.

These level 19 Flying Snakes were all very close to becoming Tier-2. They all knew that if they wanted to break their bloodline shackles and become Tier-2 Flying Snakes, they had to get permission from the three great leaders to eat the strange fruits on the spirit tree.

This strange spirit tree was the 'supreme treasure' of the entire Flying Snake tribe.

It must not be lost.

And the alien in front of them, who was short and looked very inconspicuous in their eyes, was coming to steal things.

No! Not stealing!

It was a blatant snatch!

It was just quite strange that among these powerful Flying Snakes, the ones on the opposite side of the ancient wood did not rush straight towards him, but bypassed the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood, maintaining a distance of at least seventy meters.

As if fearing something.

"Are they anxious?" Li Yuan's figure was like lightning.

The moment he rushed through the defensive circle, he didn't stop at all, his speed had already soared to a terrifying level, rushing straight towards the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood.

Li Yuan didn't dare to stop at all.

"Thirteen seconds!!"

"It takes at least five seconds for the sound to transmit from the bottom of the canyon to above," Li Yuan stared fixedly at the three fruits on the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood: "And it is estimated to take about eight seconds for the two Tier-2 Flying Snakes to return to the bottom of the valley."

"I have about 13 seconds to snatch the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits and then escape." Li Yuan's thoughts revolved at high speed in his mind, thinking.

13 seconds is the life-and-death line.

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan's eruption was astonishingly fast, even though his speed had dropped by a large margin due to hitting a Flying Snake just now.

But with a slight adjustment and micro-level force, his speed soared back to over a hundred meters per second.

Faster than all the Flying Snakes present, completely comparable to a level 20 Source Martialist.

Whether snatching treasure or fighting for life and death.

Victory or defeat is sometimes a matter of an instant.

Within half a second, Li Yuan had rushed through another 40 meters, and the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood was visible from afar.

Just at this moment.

"Peng~" When Li Yuan broke into the 50-meter radius of the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood, silently, without any warning, his head felt as if a heavy hammer had smashed down.

His whole person was stunned, his feet softened, and he staggered, almost falling to the ground.

His movement speed plummeted even more.

This is mental pressure!

"Damn!" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart; this was something neither he nor Senior Liu Jing had anticipated.

This Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood was actually releasing a terrifying 'mental pressure' within a certain range of itself.

Facing this kind of mental pressure, even someone with mental strength as strong as Li Yuan was struck like lightning.

One can imagine how strong this pressure was.

"Awoo!"

"Ang~" The dozens of Flying Snakes circling around, about sixty meters from the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood, seeing Li Yuan had already rushed into the 50-meter range, were full of fear in their eyes and didn't dare to get closer.

Why did they surround the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood by a hundred meters?

It was because they had suffered losses before.

Even in their memories, when the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood was first born, some weak Flying Snakes accidentally approached the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood and had their mental consciousness shattered alive.

Their bodies had no wounds, but they died directly.

Powerful heavenly treasures are rare, but the more precious they are, the more dangerous they often are.

"These Flying Snakes don't dare to approach?" Li Yuan noticed this point.

His mental strength was ultimately strong, and he had recovered his clarity, forcefully resisting this mental pressure.

Continuing to walk towards the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood.

It was just that Li Yuan had to use most of his energy to resist the mental pressure, so his speed slowed down unconsciously.

"Mental pressure?"

"The ten-meter-high Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood is indeed extraordinary." Li Yuan's eyes held shock and joy: "The 'Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood' recorded by our Seven Stars human civilization before has never been so special."

"Could it be, it's really a Tier-4 treasure?"

During his first scout of Flying Snake Valley, Li Yuan had suspected it was a Tier-4 treasure, but it was more of a comfort in his heart; he didn't truly believe it would be.

Now? Li Yuan felt it really might be a Tier-4 treasure.

At the very least, from the existing signs, its efficacy should far exceed ordinary Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits.

"Strange, with my mental strength close to level 29 and willpower of level 30, I find it strenuous now. How did the previous Flying Snakes approach the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood?" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and held on, constantly approaching.

Logically, the life level of the Flying Snakes that hadn't broken through was only level 19; their mental strength and willpower shouldn't be much stronger.

There are only two possibilities.

First, this is the first time the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood has borne fruit.

Second, once the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit truly matures, this terrifying soul pressure will dissipate, or at least its power will be reduced by more than half.

"These Flying Snakes can only watch me snatch the treasure." Li Yuan's mind revolved at high speed, but his body didn't dare to have the slightest slack.

This moment was a race against time.

Seconds passed.

And accompanied by the Flying Snakes' hissing sounds echoing constantly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More Flying Snakes sensed it and darted down rapidly from the caves on the mountain walls on both sides.

Causing the number of Flying Snakes gathered at the bottom of the canyon to soar constantly, but they didn't dare to approach the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood.

Moreover, the Flying Snakes still guarding the caves at this moment were mostly only around level 15, and their strength was very ordinary.

"Ang!"

"Awoo~" The dozens of level 19 Flying Snakes surrounding the front were all hissing anxiously, transmitting their determination upwards, but they still didn't dare to approach.

In their subconscious, this kind of mental pressure was too torturous, and the pressure was too strong; even their three great leaders found it very difficult to break through directly.

Let alone them.

On the mountain wall above the canyon, thousands of Flying Snakes were frantically besieging Senior Liu Jing.

Especially the two Tier-2 Flying Snakes, fully erupting, their bodies covered in a layer of hazy cyan light, like cyan Flying Dragons, appearing even more terrifying.

"Roar!" The two Tier-2 Flying Snakes roared, flapping their wings again and again, their claws waving, and from time to time they opened their bloody mouths, attempting to tear Senior Liu Jing to pieces or even swallow him in one gulp.

The terrifying explosive power of Tier-2 Flying Snakes is definitely not something Tier-1 can compare to.

Huge rocks were like tofu, shattering instantly.

Boom-boom-boom~ Countless broken stones fell.

"Hwa!" "Hwa! Hwa!" On the cliff, bursts of saber light lit up, the saber light accompanied by traces of fiery red light, like flame streamers, with astonishing lethality.

"Puchi!" Senior Liu Jing's eyes were cold, and he swung his saber suddenly.

A Tier-1 Flying Snake corpse fell.

Hu! Hu! Senior Liu Jing's battle saber was fierce like fire, his movements like wind, avoiding the pounces of the two Tier-2 Flying Snakes again and again.

"Tier-2 Flying Snakes are truly difficult to deal with. Their strength is clearly far weaker than mine, but with Source Power protection and huge bodies, I actually can't kill them directly for a while." Senior Liu Jing frowned.

In terms of skill, explosive speed, strength, and the abundance of Source Power, Senior Liu Jing was far superior to the two Tier-2 Flying Snakes.

Ravaging them again and again.

But because of Source Power protection, plus the Flying Snakes' huge body size, even if they were injured by Senior Liu Jing's attacks again and again, they could still hold on.

The most critical point is.

Tier-2 Flying Snakes can fly, and if he is not careful, they will ascend into the air and escape... and Senior Liu Jing is unwilling to kill his way onto the other party's body.

Doing so, although there is hope of killing the other party rapidly, the risk is also huge, and it is very likely that he himself will suffer heavy injuries.

"If this continues, my Source Power will be exhausted." Senior Liu Jing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fighting and killing in place like this, whether dodging or attacking, one cannot be stingy with Source Power. One wrong step will cause heavy injury, and the consumption is naturally large.

"What about Li Yuan? So much time has passed, has he not succeeded yet?" Senior Liu Jing pondered: "Won't something go wrong?"

He was worried about Li Yuan's safety.

Suddenly.

"Roar~" "Roar~" Sharp and ear-piercing hissing sounds suddenly transmitted up from the bottom of the valley, resounding through the long sky.

Instantly.

The two Tier-2 Flying Snakes stopped their attacks on Senior Liu Jing instantly, their narrow eyes full of scarlet and bloodthirst.

Their intelligence was also extremely high, comparable to ordinary humans, and they immediately reacted that this was a trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

Their home had been stolen.

"Ang~"

"Ang~" The two Tier-2 Flying Snakes roared, their roars carrying endless anger. With a flying dragon tail swing, they adjusted their huge bodies and swooped down into the depths of the mist in Flying Snake Valley.

This roar was also an order.

"Ang~"

"Awoo~" The thousands of Flying Snakes that had originally tried to besiege Senior Liu Jing from all directions on the cliff also hissed one after another.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hundreds and thousands of Flying Snakes spread their wings simultaneously and swooped down into the mist below. For a time, it was as if dumplings were falling in the sky.

However, they weren't dumplings, but Flying Snakes!!

"He made a move?" Senior Liu Jing understood instantly.

It must be that Li Yuan made a move, perhaps he had already seized the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit... otherwise these Flying Snakes wouldn't be so crazy, completely ignoring him.

Boom!

Senior Liu Jing was only half a beat slow, his body already leaning forward and down, followed by his whole person falling, his legs exerting force violently, and he had already rushed towards the bottom of the canyon like a meteor.

Boom-boom-boom~ Senior Liu Jing's speed was so fierce that it was vaguely even faster than the two Flying Snakes.

"Persist."

"Li Yuan, you must persist." Senior Liu Jing stared fixedly, chanting in his heart.

The entire plan, the first link was for Senior Liu Jing to be able to withstand the attacks of so many Flying Snakes.

The key to the second link was for Li Yuan to be able to withstand the siege of large numbers of Flying Snakes.

At the bottom of the canyon, the mental pressure of the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood was astonishing.

But Li Yuan, relying on his own powerful mental strength that was close to a Flying-Heaven martialist, forcefully resisted this terrifying pressure, spent about five seconds, crossed sixty meters, and rushed to the front of the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood.

Without the slightest pause.

Peng~ Peng~ Peng~

Li Yuan's figure darted, his arms exerted force simultaneously, climbing the tree, and he reached out and plucked all three 'Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits' that had not yet fully matured, putting them into his battle suit.

Successfully obtained.

"Time to escape." Li Yuan swept his gaze, understanding how dire his own situation was.
