1445: C1445 Stratagem

C1445 Stratagem

This Scarlet Flower Snake only had the strength of a Level 1 Warrior. With Lin Long's strength, he did not need to use the rune sword, but in order to not have any accidents, Lin Long naturally wanted to finish it in the shortest time possible.

After all, this was no longer the outskirts of the Xing Wu mountain range.

They were not at the outskirts of the Xing Wu Mountain Range, so naturally, they met with more Scarlet Flower Snakes than outside. In just a short period of time, Lin Long had killed five of them and obtained five Scarlet Flower Snakes' gallbladder.

After completing the mission, he would head out immediately. This was Lin Long's plan.

After all, the people from the Lei and Fan Families were searching for him, so the longer he stayed in this mountain range, the more dangerous it would be.

Following that, Lin Long continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, a Scarlet Flower Snake appeared in front of him once again. He was just about to go and kill this Scarlet Flower Snake, but his expression changed slightly.

Because he discovered that there seemed to be a powerful aura nearby, Lin Long immediately gave up on the idea of killing the Scarlet Flower Snake.

However, it was clear that this Hua Bao only had the strength of a Level Two Warriors, and was not the source of that powerful aura. In other words, there were even more powerful ferocious beasts beside this Hua Bao.

Lin Long could also see this point from his trembling body.

Sure enough, in the next moment, a black figure suddenly scuttled out from the grass in front of Hua Bao. Hua Bao's reaction was fast, and he immediately turned and ran.

In just a few breaths of time, the black shadow had tightly wrapped itself around it. This was obviously a Red Flower Serpent, but it was several times bigger than an ordinary snake. It was almost no different than a giant python.

Most importantly, it clearly had the strength of a Level three martial artist.

This was a Red Flower Serpent that had consumed Level 3 Energy Stones and had undergone mutation! Lin Long made this judgement in his heart.

Most vicious beasts would have a change in strength after they swallowed energy stones of the same level. Only a small number of vicious beasts would not have such a change. The Scarlet Flower Snake was one of them.

The majority of Red Flower Snakes were only as strong as Level Two Warriors after consuming Level 3 Energy Stones. The reason why this snake had such strength was because it was a mutated Red Flower Snake.

It was also because of this that its strength was able to reach the level of Level three martial artist after consuming Level Three Energy Stones.

After confirming this point, Lin Long's eyes immediately lit up.

The reason why he was so happy was that the mutated Scarlet Flower Snake usually had a special hiding spot. Furthermore, there was a crystal stone hidden within its hiding place that could instantly raise the energy in the human body.

If he could get his hands on this crystal, Lin Long could guarantee that his own strength would instantly increase by a lot. Of course, this crystal was the same as the Qi Pills's, and was a consumable item.

decided to follow behind the Scarlet Flower Snake and see if he could find its hiding place and obtain the crystals inside.

Of course, he had no way to kill the Scarlet Flower Snake, so the only thing he could do was to see if he could sneak in and steal the crystal when the Scarlet Flower Snake left its hiding place.

After making such a decision, Lin Long stayed where he was, quietly looking at the Scarlet Flower Snake.

Just a moment later, the mutated Scarlet Flower Snake whose body was a few times larger than ordinary Scarlet Flower Snake swallowed Hua Bao whole.

After this, it crawled forward lazily.

As for Lin Long, he carefully followed behind it. Following behind this kind of fierce beast was naturally extremely dangerous, but in order to obtain that crystal, Lin Long was willing to give it his all. After all, if he obtained that crystal, he would have an additional ability to protect himself when facing off against the experts from the Lei and Fan Families.

After following the snake for half a quarter of an hour, Lin Long found a cave. The cave was extremely well hidden, with trees and grass protecting the surroundings. If not for following the snake, Lin Long would not have been able to find such a cave.

~ This must be the lair of the Scarlet Flower Snake, Lin Long thought.

Sure enough, after poking its head out of the cave, the Scarlet Flower Snake entered the cave and its body disappeared.

Lin Long naturally did not dare to follow them in, so he could only stay outside and watch.

He wanted to wait for an opportunity and for the Scarlet Flower Snake to go out again.

This way, it would probably take a long time, or even a few days, but Lin Long didn't care anymore.

Unknowingly, two days had passed. In these two days, Lin Long had always been sitting on a tree not far from the cave.

However, what made him depressed was that in the past two days, the Scarlet Flower Snake had not left the cave.

Lin Long also planned to use some kind of method to lure the Scarlet Flower Snake out, but in the end, he gave up.

After half a day, the sky gradually darkened.

It was also at this time that Lin Long suddenly heard someone's voice from behind him. Hearing one of the voices, Lin Long could not help but frown, because it seemed to be Han Qisheng's voice.

Did these people never give up? Such a thought flashed across Lin Long's mind.

However, thinking about it made him feel relieved. After all, this was a good opportunity to kill him, so how could the other party give up so easily?

Before long, those people were getting closer and closer to him. He could even see their silhouettes clearly. As for their voices, it was even clearer.

"Strange, where did that kid go?" Could it be that they have already left the Xing Wu Mountain Range? "

"I don't think so. If he left, he would have gone to meet up with the others no matter what. But right now, there isn't any place without him."

"Fan family Lord is right, that brat must still be in this Xing Wu Mountain Range. As long as we spend more effort, we should be able to find him."

"Since that's the case, let's all work hard."

"Elder Han, it has been hard on you."

"Fan family Master, Clan Master Lei, what are your words? It is only natural."

Hearing the voices of these few people, Lin Long's face immediately flashed with a surprised expression, because three of the few people present were actually Lei Peng, and Han Qisheng.

If these few people were to gather together, even if I had three heads and six arms, I would still not be able to defeat them, so, it's better to just hide honestly. Lin Long thought like this and held his breath.

If he wasn't careful at this time, he could only run around the mountain range.

Thinking of the word "flee", his eyes suddenly lit up because he had thought of an ingenious plan.

Since these people are so powerful, and since I can't do anything to that Scarlet Flower Snake, wouldn't it be better to just lure them here to deal with it? Such a thought flashed across Lin Long's mind.

This method was very dangerous, but when he thought about the crystal stone and how it might be able to take a layer of their skin off, Lin Long felt that he must do it no matter what.

After thinking about it, Lin Long took out a portion of delicious wild rabbit meat from his rune space ring and placed it outside the cave where the Scarlet Flower Snake was.

Lin Long knew that the smell of the hare's meat would definitely attract the Scarlet Flower Snake, but the Scarlet Flower Snake was very cautious and definitely would not use the hare's meat at the first moment.

And during this period of time, it was enough for him to lure the Fan Shenglin and the others over.

After putting down the hare's meat, Lin Long immediately headed towards the direction of Fan Shenglin. A while later, he suddenly appeared not too far away from them.

Seeing Lin Long suddenly appear, Fan Shenglin and the others were obviously stunned, only then did they realize that the person in front of them was the Lin Long that they wanted to catch even in their dreams.

Although they were curious as to why Lin Long had suddenly appeared, they were wondering why they were thinking so much.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to walk right into this trap!"

"Truly, breaking iron and shoes can be found anywhere without any effort at all!"

"Cut the crap, everyone attack together!"

With that, the people from Fan Shenglin immediately rushed towards Lin Long.

Although they would lose all face if they said that they were going to deal with Lin Long at the same time, when they thought that Lin Long could escape at any time, how could they still care about that sort of face?

Seeing the three of them rushing towards him, Lin Long naturally turned around and ran. He did not run towards the cave of the Scarlet Flower Snake immediately, because that would be too obvious.

Thus, he made a slight detour.

Although his speed was fast, it was still a bit slow when compared to the three of them. If not for the surrounding complex terrain, he would have probably been caught by the three of them before he could even reach the cave.

In the end, when he was just about to be overtaken by the three of them, he finally arrived at the vicinity of the cave and at this time, he could also feel the aura of the Scarlet Flower Snake.

Not far in front of him, it was clear that the Scarlet Flower Snake couldn't hold itself back.

"Good boy, let's see where you can run to!" Seeing that Lin Long's body was already within his attack range, after a furious roar, he directly struck out with his palm.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Lin Long's figure suddenly flashed to the right, dodging his attack.

This guy, he still has some skill when fighting with his life, Fan Shenglin and the other two thought of this.

However, their expressions quickly changed, because they discovered that the energy in the palm of their Fan Shenglin seemed to have struck the body of a strong vicious beast in front of them. Then, a Scarlet Flower Snake that had obviously grown several times in size appeared in front of them.

"It's a mutated Red Flower Serpent!"

The experienced men could tell at a glance what kind of vicious beast this was.

When they saw the history of the Scarlet Flower Snake, the snake had already charged forward with its head held high.

It had been slapped by the Fan Shenglin for no reason at all, how could it just let it go like that?

Seeing that the Scarlet Flower Snake was rushing over, the three of them could only take out their rune apparatus and attack the Scarlet Flower Snake.

If the three of them were to deal with this Scarlet Flower Snake like this, wouldn't that mean that Lin Long would be able to escape? Therefore, Fan Shenglin who had recovered her wits quickly said to Han Qisheng, "Elder Han, go chase that Lin Li. This Scarlet Flower Snake will be dealt with by the two of us."

This Scarlet Flower Snake was stronger than any of them, so they needed two people to deal with it no matter what.

"Alright!" Han Qisheng nodded his head, then his body moved and directly chased in the direction Lin Long had fled in.

As for Fan Shenglin and Lei Peng, they went all out to deal with the Scarlet Flower Snake in front of them.

After chasing for a while longer, Han Qisheng felt that something was amiss, because Lin Long seemed to not be there at all.

Could it be that the fellow didn't escape and still stayed where he was? Han Qisheng thought.

However, he felt that it was impossible, so after some thought, he decided to continue chasing.

How would he have known that the mutated Scarlet Flower Snake's nest was nearby, and Lin Long was right inside the cave.

The moment the Scarlet Flower Snake had attacked Fan Shenglin three people, Lin Long had pretended to flee towards the left side. But in reality, when his figure had left the three people's line of sight, he had immediately turned around and rushed towards the cave of the Scarlet Flower Snake.

As there were a lot of trees and weeds nearby, coupled with the fact that Fan Shenglin and the other two were fighting against the Scarlet Flower Snake, they never thought that Lin Long would still be here, in the nearby cave.

After entering the cave, Lin Long discovered that it was extremely dry all the way. Logically speaking, this kind of cave should be extremely dark and humid, but this kind of dry atmosphere actually made Lin Long smile slightly.

This meant that there was definitely that kind of crystal inside the cave.

After walking through a tunnel that wasn't too long, Lin Long finally arrived at a large cave.

Just as he entered the cave, a black shadow suddenly attacked him. Luckily, he was able to react quickly and barely dodged the attack.

His body paused, he saw that the one who had ambushed him was a Scarlet Flower Snake, but it was clearly much weaker than the one outside. It was only the strength of Level Two Warriors.1

The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became. Therefore, Lin Long took out her rune sword and directly attacked the Scarlet Flower Snake with it.

He even brought out a battle strategy that would inflict heavy injuries on both of them, because only then would he be able to finish off this Scarlet Flower Snake in the shortest amount of time.

In the next moment, the tail of the Scarlet Flower Snake swept across his body, heavily sending him flying out. However, his rune sword was still nailed at 7 inches away from the Scarlet Flower Snake.

The Scarlet Flower Snake died on the spot, but Lin Long was only injured.

After consuming a top-grade healing pellet, Lin Long went straight to the deepest part of the cave. When he arrived, a smile once again appeared on his face.

This was because there was a blue coloured crystal quietly lying on top of a flat rock.

The crystal was only the size of a fist, but it radiated with a powerful energy. Needless to say, it was the kind of crystal that could make the mutated Red Flower Serpent grow so much.

The Scarlet Flower Snake mutated because of this kind of crystal stone, which was why it was so precious.

Immediately after, Lin Long kept the crystal back into the rune space ring, and then rushed out along the road he came from.
