Chapter 54: Dark Moon Shatters

If his human identity were exposed,

these fierce beasts would not hesitate for a second and would surely surround and attack him at the first opportunity.

He couldn't afford to be the one to stick his neck out.

Staying low-key suited him much better.

He quietly moved his steps.

Heading toward the shrubbery behind him.

However, a massive figure had already locked onto Qin Bei.

Feeling the icy gaze.

Qin Bei did not hesitate.

He immediately quickened his pace.

Weaving back and forth through the trees.

After arriving at an open clearing,

Qin Bei immediately turned his head.

Just in time to meet a pair of yellow vertical pupils staring fixedly at him.

On top of an enormous tree,

a black python was coiled around the trunk.

And its head alone was the size of a full-grown person.

The Dusk Watcher.

Its cold eyes stared fixedly at Qin Bei.

A purple horn on its forehead was flickering with a translucent sheen.

When the purple horn brushed against the leaves,

the leaves instantly withered yellow, then crumbled apart.

What terrifying venom.

Qin Bei's expression grew serious.

And this serpent's aura—

the peak of a Tier 4 fierce beast.

Compared with that rat king,

it wouldn't take more than a few strikes before that rat king would be utterly devoured by the black serpent before him.

"Black body, purple single horn—this is the king of the Black Venom Serpents, the Black Venom King Serpent."

The Northwest Mountain Range encyclopedia had an entry on it.

Black Venom Serpents generally dwelled at the border between the outer and inner reaches of the mountain range.

And the king among them would grow a purple horn on its forehead.

The purple horn contained deadly venom.

Anything below Tier 3,

upon contact, would rot to death within three breaths.

But undeniably,

this purple horn was also a treasure.

If he took it to an exchange shop to trade,

two million, easy.

"Looks like you're not planning to let me leave."

Qin Bei straightened his back, then shook out his hands.

And the Black Venom King Serpent slowly descended from the tree to the ground.

Its forked tongue flicked in and out continuously.

Greed filled its eyes.

The gazes of the two locked onto each other.

A breeze blew gently past,

like the horn sounding the start of battle.

A black shadow suddenly flashed to right before Qin Bei.

It opened its bloody maw, and a wave of foul stench rushed at him.

Qin Bei tensed his lower body and shot straight up into the air, dodging the Black Venom King Serpent's bloody maw.

Then, arriving above the Black Venom King Serpent's head,

he gauged the timing and threw his fist straight at the purple horn on the first opportunity.

Judging by the encyclopedia's calculations, the base of that thing was the Black Venom King Serpent's weak point!

However, the Black Venom King Serpent seemed to have sensed Qin Bei's intention as well.
