nAfter mumbling to himself, Ye Xiao looked at the huge corpse of the black-scaled snake that had been split in half in the courtyard and grinned.

nThat black-scaled snake was very big. It was more than 50 feet long and its thickness exceeded the waist of a dancing girl.

nUpon closer inspection, there were even some small protruding horns on its head.

nIt was rumored that a snake could only become a python after cultivating for 1,000 years. A python could only become a fledgling dragon after cultivating for 1,000 years. A fledgling dragon could only become a dragon after transcending the tribulation for 1,000 years.

nThat fellow’s age was estimated to have reached a little over 1,000 years old.

nIf it was placed on Earth, it would definitely be a special endangered and protected animal.

n‘Its cultivation is at Xiantian third grade. It’s just a hair’s breadth away from advancing to Xiantian fourth grade. Why don’t we revive it first, then use spiritual energy to catalyze it, and help it step into this final threshold? Then…’

nHe did as he planned.

nAfter all, it was very difficult to find a Xiantian fourth-grade star beast. If it was refined with the skin of a Xiantian fourth-grade star beast, then the armor refined would definitely surpass that of a Xiantian third-grade star beast.

nThe Morning Star Method was activated. With a flash of golden light, the black-scaled snake’s body emitted a golden glow.

nIt actually evolved on its own during the process of revival.

nWhat a fellow, it saved him a lot of trouble.

nWhat Ye Xiao did not expect was that when the black-scaled snake evolved, it would automatically shed its previous skin.

nIn other words, he would obtain two snake skins. One was a Xiantian third grade black-scaled snakeskin, and the other was a Xiantian fourth grade black-scaled snakeskin.

nThat was a very good plan. In the future, when killing snake-type star beasts, he could catalyze it once, let it evolve, and then kill it!

nNo, no, no. If he skinned it every time and used a healing cultivation technique to help it heal, he would be able to skin many of the snake’s skin.

nPerfect!

nThe black-scaled snake quickly revived, and its consciousness woke up from the chaos.

n“I remember that I was killed by a human attack. Why am I revived? My cultivation has even risen to Xiantian fourth grade!

n“Could it be that I had advanced when I was on the verge of death?

n“Hahahaha… This is truly a blessing in disguise.”

nA grandmaster-level star Beast speaking the human language was just child’s play.

nJust as it was laughing, the black-scaled snake suddenly noticed Ye Xiao in front of it.

nAn extremely audacious human bug that actually dared to stand beside it.

nMost likely, it was a martial artist sent by the humans to guard its corpse.

nThat was simply challenging the grandmaster-level star beast’s dignity.

nIn an instant, the black-scaled snake’s fury surged to the heavens!

n“D*mned human, give me — !”

nSplat…

nThe black-scaled snake looked at Ye Xiao, who had turned in a different direction in its eyes, as well as the tearing pain that came from seven inches away. Its large head sank into confusion.

nWhen it fell to the ground with a plop, the intense pain made it sober up quite a bit.

nNo, no!

nThat guy was not the human warrior guarding it. That guy was the human warrior who had killed it!

nAt that moment, the black-scaled snake’s heart was filled with despair.

nThe magnificence of that sword could be said to be something it had never seen before in its life.

nThat human warrior’s swordsmanship was so strong that it made the snake shudder!

nYet, it had actually fallen into his hands. How sorrowful was that?

nA desolate feeling of despair welled up in its heart.

nIt had never thought that it would encounter such a martial arts expert just after it had advanced to the Xiantian fourth grade. In the end, it had been cut down by his sword. If King El was still around, why would it suffer such a great humiliation?

nThe star beast’s powerful vitality prevented it from dying in an instant, but that made it even more painful.

nThat was because it had personally witnessed the human flaying its skin.

nIf it was as expected, the other party would use its skin to refine armor, protect its body, and use it to deal with other star beasts.

nWhat kind of humiliation was that?

nForget it!

nForget it!

nThe strong preyed on the weak. That was the law of nature.

nIt had eaten quite a number of people before. It was enough.

n‘Humans, when the seven stars aligned and my king returns, I will suppress all the humans in Jianghai city and turn them into food for the star beasts. I will eat every single one of them!

n‘I will leave first and wait for you in the sky!’

nThe black-scaled snake’s consciousness had already started to blur. However, not only did it stop thinking about death, it even started to yearn for it.

nHowever, at that moment, warm energy suddenly wrapped around its body and consciousness, causing it to gradually wake up.

nTwo seconds later, its body was completely healed.

nThat caused the black-scaled snake to be dumbfounded and at a loss.

n‘Could it be that the human has a conscience and does not want to kill me anymore?’

nJust as that thought was revealed, the black-scaled snake’s neck suddenly felt pain once again. The Ye Xiao in its eyes slanted once again.

nThat was when its neck was cut off again.

nF*ck!

nOnly then did the black-scaled snake understand that the other party did not have a conscience and wanted to save it. Instead, it wanted to heal it and skin it again!

n10 minutes later…

n“Human, don’t go too far…”

n20 minutes later…

n“Human, you will regret this…”

nThirty minutes later…

n“@! #%@#%!”

n40 minutes later…

n“…”

n50 minutes later…

n“…”

n60 minutes later…

n“F*ck you…”

nPffft!

nThat time, Ye Xiao did not continue to resurrect the black-scaled snake.

nIf he resurrected again, the other party might really curse. Although he was an orphan, he was still born from his mother. He could not let others curse his mother for a small profit.

nMoreover…

nYe Xiao looked at the black-scaled snakeskin that could no longer be stuffed in the yard and revealed a satisfied smile.

nThe snake skins, other than the one that the black-scaled snake shed at the beginning that was Xiantian third-grade snakeskin, were all Xiantian fourth-grade snake skins.

nTheir flexibility, extensibility, and the defensive properties of the scales on the snakeskin were all top-notch goods.

nWith his Godly Craftmanship in armament refinement, he would definitely be able to refine an excellent armor.

nAt that time, it was already nighttime. Ye Xiao looked at the snake meat on the black-scaled snake’s body, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

n“Huan Liuli, light a fire. We’ll have extra food tonight. Beer and game barbecue.”

n“Got it.”

nHuan Liuli replied indifferently. That day was not just filled with the black-scaled snake’s torture, it was also her torture.

nA Xiantian fourth-grade black-scaled snake was actually in Ye Xiao’s hands. It could not even last a single move and was repeatedly skinned by him.

nIf it was a human, Huan Liuli would not have felt anything at all. However, it was a star beast. That was different.

nThat was because she was also a star beast.

nIt was just like how a human would not have any sympathy when they saw a fish being skinned. However, what if a fish saw its own kind being skinned?

nHuan Liuli was very suspicious. Ye Xiao repeatedly skinning the black-scaled snake might have some kind of purposeful hint.

nIt was hinting to her that she should be more honest.

nHuan Liuli sneered in her heart.

n‘Ye Xiao, if you think that such a scene can scare me, then you are underestimating me too much.

n‘In 400 years, I will definitely take you in as a pet! At that time, I will definitely ravage you ruthlessly! Hehehe…’

n
