Chapter 2319 - 1813: Water-Attribute Inner Core

The second update, seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

Now, Qin Fang is taking advantage of the situation, directly using the Water Escape Technique to rush into the Black Water Xuan Snake's stomach, swiftly moving towards its inner core or heart area... Time is indeed very tight; once the Black Water Xuan Snake reacts, Qin Fang will have to expend some time and effort to succeed.

The body of the Black Water Xuan Snake is quite large, reaching a length of ten to twenty meters, and quite robust too. Even an embrace might not be able to wrap around it completely, and its intestinal tract is naturally quite thick...

Sliding inside, Qin Fang's speed is fairly fast, although not comparable to outside; it's certainly much faster than crawling slowly.

Almost by the time the Black Water Xuan Snake reacts, Qin Fang had already moved about five meters from the snake's mouth.

When Qin Fang sensed the Black Water Xuan Snake constricting its muscles, he knew that this clumsy snake had finally reacted and planned to use this method to eliminate him... Even if it couldn't kill him, it aimed to incapacitate him, then let the stomach acid slowly corrode and digest him...

It's a very clever idea, but the Black Water Xuan Snake clearly underestimated Qin Fang...

Feeling this powerful force, Qin Fang's body began to change... His original robust physique started to become slender, transforming him from a strong, burly man into a "skinny bamboo pole" in no time, and he was getting "thinner" and "thinner"!

Due to the existence of the Props Box, Qin Fang didn't need to worry about his weapon as long as he could ensure his life safety...

And such intense pressure could indeed be unbearable for experts below the Supreme Realm... even Great Grandmaster-level experts, despite having incredibly defensive Protective Gang Qi, were still far from embedding all Gang Qi within their bodies to forge an immortal golden body.

That is to say, the bodily defense of Great Grandmaster-level experts isn't much different from that of Grandmaster-level experts, and without Protective Gang Qi, they might not even match those Grandmaster-level experts who had practiced body refinement techniques.

"Heart, inner core?"

Of course, Qin Fang also simply decided in his heart which to target first and then directly pierced the Black Water Xuan Snake's heart area, quickly searching for the inner core, which is the essence of the Black Water Xuan Snake.

Even if he couldn't kill this Black Water Xuan Snake, Qin Fang wouldn't feel pity, but he absolutely wouldn't allow any loss of the inner core in its peak state.

"Wanting to kill the Black Water Xuan Snake with one strike is almost impossible... With this time buffer, it might desperately self-destruct its inner core!"

Yet, Qin Fang directly chose to seize the inner core, having his own considerations.

Inner core and life are both highly important to this Black Water Xuan Snake, both indispensable... But if it had to choose, the Black Water Xuan Snake would likely preserve its life.

The inner core is extremely precious, containing eighty to ninety percent of the Black Water Xuan Snake's essential energy. Once the inner core is stolen, the Black Water Xuan Snake will definitely suffer great loss of elemental energy, but it wouldn't die just like that... It might just need many more years to cultivate back again.

Perhaps this process is fraught with obstacles, but after all, it's better than directly losing its life...

And when the Black Water Xuan Snake's life is threatened, even soon facing complete death, seeing no hope of survival, it would likely choose to self-destruct its inner core, ending its life in such a way while exploding its vengeance!

The inner core contains eighty to ninety percent of the Black Water Xuan Snake's essential energy; the power of self-destruction is equivalent to twice, thrice, or even four times a full-force attack from the Black Water Xuan Snake... This is enough to kill itself, and anyone else nearby, even a Supreme Realm Powerhouse, might suffer serious injuries.

If it self-destructs the inner core, although the Black Water Xuan Snake will certainly die, it also kills the one who forced it, essentially avenging itself...

But Qin Fang's choice to directly seize the inner core, in the absence of being pushed to a dead end, the Black Water Xuan Snake shouldn't easily self-destruct its inner core, thus Qin Fang rather has a better chance to succeed... Once the inner core is acquired, then no matter what the Black Water Xuan Snake does, it's no longer within Qin Fang's consideration,

Having lost contact with the inner core, the Black Water Xuan Snake can't self-destruct the inner core either, its own strength will reduce significantly, whether it's a match for Qin Fang is uncertain, let alone avenging any grievances... and this is the main reason Qin Fang chose to seize the inner core first.

In order to kill Qin Fang, the Black Water Xuan Snake truly wasn't concerned about its own consumption, this degree of muscle constriction is also a strong torment to itself, as its body doesn't only contain Qin Fang but some of its inner organs.

This pressure, while pressing the enemy Qin Fang, also presses its own organs, causing it immense pain...

However, the Black Water Xuan Snake is rather puzzled now...

He had already contracted his muscles to this extent, yet he still couldn't feel Qin Fang's presence, as if he had never entered its body and had already taken advantage of the powerful whirlpool to escape from here.

Even though the Black Water Xuan Snake felt this possibility seemed very small, it couldn't be certain that it was impossible... Thus, it also swayed its body and pursued forward, seemingly planning to catch everyone in one net.

As for the movements of the Black Water Xuan Snake outside, Qin Fang didn't pay much attention... He had already delayed the Black Water Xuan Snake for quite some time, and he believed Song Yi and the others should have gotten quite far by now.

Even if they hadn't completely escaped, they should think of ways to conceal their tracks or aura, to some extent... these Great Grandmaster Level experts should be quite skilled at this!

"The inner core should be around here somewhere..."

At this moment, Qin Fang was also busy, his whole person moving like a little snake, within the body of the Black Water Xuan Snake, searching for the whereabouts of the inner core.

He was situated in the intestines of the Black Water Xuan Snake, surrounded by a strangely scented acidic liquid, which was the digestive liquid of the Black Water Xuan Snake... a highly corrosive acid that, without protective measures, could completely corrode anything.

This is also one of the magical treasures the Black Water Xuan Snake relies on for survival. Basically, most of the food swallowed into its stomach would be corroded and digested by these digestive juices in a very short time, eventually turning into nutrients absorbed by the Black Water Xuan Snake's body.

However, Qin Fang regarded these acidic liquids with indifference...

Indeed, whenever the acidic liquids touched Qin Fang's body, they would generate a slightly burning sensation, but firstly, his body was resistant to toxins, secondly, his defense was astonishingly strong, and thirdly, he had super recovery abilities. As long as his Life Points were restored to full, no injury could faze him!

This was one of Qin Fang's reliances for daring to intrude in here; if it were anyone else, they would likely be dead by now...

"Found it..."

Although Qin Fang had always been within the intestines of the Black Water Xuan Snake, it didn't affect his search for the inner core. After some time of cautious probing, he finally found it. That frightening power could be clearly transferred to Qin Fang through the intestines.

Puff~~~

At this moment, Qin Fang had no intention of continuing to pretend. The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword suddenly appeared, and then slashed out diagonally, lightly slicing open the intestines of the Black Water Xuan Snake, stabbing into its inner depths.

"Quack quack quack~~~"

Almost at the moment Qin Fang made his move, the Black Water Xuan Snake, who was rapidly chasing Song Yi and others, also suddenly trembled violently, letting out a series of wails, directly stirring up a small turbulence in the water.

But Qin Fang didn't mind these changes, his gaze was entirely fixed on that dark-green inner core...

"Water-Attribute Inner Core..."

Don't be fooled by the dark-green color of this inner core, it is actually a water-attribute inner core. Upon seeing it, Qin Fang also revealed a very bright smile... for no other reason, he could make use of this inner core!

Not only could he use it, but Qin Fang's Little Dragon, capable of cloud walking and rain summoning, should also be a water-type Divine Beast. This water-attribute inner core could enable its rapid growth... even if it couldn't directly advance to maturity, it could accelerate its progression, surpassing the juvenile phase and advancing into the growth phase!

The Dragon is a Divine Beast, growing incredibly slowly. Only with a symbiotic relationship with its master, Qin Fang, could it grow somewhat faster. Although still in its juvenile phase, it is not far from the growth phase.

Otherwise, according to the Dragon's normal physiological growth rate, from juvenile to growth phase would take at least five hundred to a thousand years... such a long time, not only can Qin Fang not afford to wait, but likely no one else can either.

This Black Water Xuan Snake has also lived for quite a long time, at least over a thousand years, perhaps even longer; only then could it climb, step by step, to the Spirit Beast Realm, not far from the Spirit Beast King Realm.

This inner core from such a powerful Quasi-Spirit Beast King Level Spirit Beast is undoubtedly priceless, containing a vast amount of essence, even giving it to Little Dragon to absorb, devour, and fuse would increase its cultivation by at least two or three hundred years as if out of thin air.

And now, with Little Dragon attached to Qin Fang, its cultivation speed is already very fast; currently well over halfway through the juvenile phase, adding such a significant power surge from this inner core, progressing into the growth phase should not pose much difficulty!

A juvenile phase Divine Beast Dragon is already so formidable, with cultivation surpassing that of an ordinary Great Grandmaster Level expert, so what about a Divine Beast Dragon at the growth phase?

I'm afraid even Supreme Realm powerhouses would have a hard time withstanding its deadly attacks...(To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
