Chapter 40 Capturing the Green Scaled Snake

After separating from the two, Zhou Chen went into the mountains alone. In such extremely cold weather, most wild beasts rarely come out. They are basically hibernating, except for those that have become spirits and will occasionally come out.

Entering the deepest part of the mountains, Zhou Chen searched for three days in a row but did not see any trace of the Green Scaled Snake. He did see quite a few ninth-grade monsters, but Zhou Chen avoided them all.

The food he brought with him this time can only last for five days at most. If he still cannot find the Green Scaled Snake after five days, he will plan to use his last trump card. At worst, he will just give up the demon pattern.

After simply eating some dry food, Zhou Chen started looking for the trace of the Green Scaled Snake again. Time soon came to the fifth day since Zhou Chen entered the mountain, and heavy snow fell in the mountain that day.

This is also Zhou Chen’s last day in the mountains. If he still can’t find it, then he can only go back home.

Just when Zhou Chen was about to go down the mountain in disappointment, there was a noise coming from the forest behind him. The sound was so loud that Zhou Chen could hear it even from a long distance away. Zhou Chen was startled and exerted a little force with his feet and jumped directly to the top of the tree.

Turning around, he saw a green snake at least ten meters long appear in front of him in the woods in the distance. Seeing this, Zhou Chen was overjoyed and said, "I've been looking for you for five days and you finally showed up."

The target of the green snake was a wild boar that was completely black with two fangs sticking out of its mouth. This wild boar was at least at the peak of the ninth rank, and now it was being chased by the green-scaled snake and was in a miserable state.

The Green Scaled Snake seized an opportunity, raised its head high, and bared its fangs. Two streams of venom shot out of its mouth and sprayed directly onto the wild boar's back. In an instant, a cloud of black smoke rose up.

The wild boar fell to the ground after running a few steps. Seeing this, the Green Scaled Snake swam faster and moved forward, strangling the wild boar with its body. The wild boar struggled a few times and then died.

Then he saw the Green Scaled Snake open its mouth wide and swallowed the wild boar directly. The wild boar's body was four times larger than the Green Scaled Snake's head. Zhou Chen saw that the Green Scaled Snake's mouth opened to an incredible size.

After the wild boar's body entered the body of the Green Scaled Snake, looking from the outside, one could see a big bulge on the Green Scaled Snake's belly.

It seemed that it was full, and the Green Scaled Snake continued to crawl towards the mountains. Zhou Chen finally found him, so how could he let him escape? Zhou Chen took out an iron bow and pulled the bow like a full moon. The scales of the Green Scaled Snake were very hard, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate them.

This time he brought arrows specifically designed to penetrate armor, which, combined with this iron bow, should be able to break his defense.

At this time, the Green Scaled Snake was more than 90 meters away from him. Although it was beyond his range of meters, it was still within the range of the iron bow. Zhou Chen was confident that he could hit the Green Scaled Snake because of its huge body.

Zhou Chen slowly adjusted his breathing, and when he reached the best state, the arrow was shot out with a bang. The arrow was spinning at high speed the moment it was shot, and several more arrows were shot out at the same time.

The Green Scaled Snake sensed a dangerous aura and turned its head suddenly, only to see six arrows shooting towards it. The Green Scaled Snake twisted its body to try to dodge.

His body was extremely flexible. Four of the six arrows were nailed to the ground, but two still hit his body. When the arrows touched the scales on his body, there was a metallic collision sound.

At the same time, a burst of sparks appeared, but the arrow with armor-piercing effect still broke through the scales and pierced into the body, but the penetration was not deep, only the arrowhead was embedded in the body.

The Green Scaled Snake let out a scream and twisted its body. The arrow broke but the arrowhead remained in its body. It was obvious that the two arrows angered the Green Scaled Snake, but it had no effect on its fighting power.

Originally, Zhao Kuo wanted Zhou Chen to coat the arrows with poison, but Doctor Hua said that it was unnecessary because the Bilin Snake was a highly poisonous creature and its poison would have no effect on him, or in other words, ordinary poisons would have no effect on him.

The Bilin Snake looked up and saw Zhou Chen at a glance. It roared at Zhou Chen and then quickly pounced on him. "Come on, I was afraid you would run away."

Zhou Chen drew the bow and shot six arrows again. This was the limit of what Zhou Chen could shoot in one breath. After shooting, Zhou Chen directly threw away the iron bow, pulled out the Black Abyss and rushed towards the Bilin Snake.

The Green Scaled Snake was very fast and Zhou Chen did not have time to shoot a second round of arrows. Seeing the arrows coming towards him, the Green Scaled Snake wrapped its tail around a tree and broke the tree in half with a slight force. Then it swung its tail hard and the tree fell in the direction where the arrows came from. With a few bangs, all the arrows hit the tree.

The big tree was split into two by a wind blade before it hit the ground, and the wind blade continued to slash towards the Bilin Snake with undiminished power.

The Green Scaled Snake is an eighth-grade monster. In addition, monsters of the same level are usually slightly stronger than humans in terms of combat power, so Zhou Chen did not hold back and used his magical powers right away.

Of course, this is only true for ordinary warriors. It is different for warriors like Zhou Chen who possess supernatural powers, or warriors who have practiced powerful martial arts, such as Zhou Lei from the Demon Suppression Division.

The Green Scaled Snake also sensed the danger. It did not use its body to withstand the attack of the wind blade. Instead, it swung its tail from the side and directly shattered the wind blade.

At the same time, a stream of venom spurted out and hit Zhou Chen's face. Even from such a distance, Zhou Chen could already smell a fishy odor.

Zhou Chen, who was in mid-air, immediately used the wind to dodge the attack. After landing, he quickly rushed towards the Bi-lin Snake. The Bi-lin Snake's tail quickly turned and fell towards Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen quickly dodged. The Bi-lin Snake's speed could not catch up with Zhou Chen who had the magical power.

However, Zhou Chen was unable to get close to the body of the Bi-lin Snake and could only use the Wind Blade to attack from a distance. However, his attacks could not hurt the Bi-lin Snake, and the Bi-lin Snake's attacks also could not hurt Zhou Chen. The man and the snake were in a stalemate.

It's okay in the short term, but Zhou Chen will definitely not be able to outlast him in the long term. After a stalemate, Zhou Chen stomped the ground with his left foot and activated his magical powers.

Now Zhou Chen can use the Wood Magic to control the trees within a radius of seventy meters around him. Of course, if there are no trees around, Zhou Chen can also use his magical powers to summon trees, but in this case the consumption of the demon pattern will increase, and the range will be reduced from seventy meters to fifty meters.

This deep forest can be said to be Zhou Chen's battlefield. As Zhou Chen stepped on the ground with his left foot, although the surrounding trees did not move, the roots of the trees underground grew rapidly and broke out of the ground. The Green Scaled Snake didn't react in time and was directly entangled by the roots that emerged from the ground, unable to move for a while.

Ordinary tree roots naturally could not restrain the Green Scaled Snake, but with the help of Zhou Chen's magical powers, the Green Scaled Snake was unable to break free for a while.

Even so, he was still struggling frantically, because at this moment he felt that his life was under great threat, and he saw that the Green Scaled Snake was showing signs of breaking free from its restraints.

Zhou Chen, holding the Black Abyss in his hand, quickly came to the top of the Green Scaled Snake's head. He held the knife in both hands and stabbed it down suddenly with the help of the wind blade. Most of the Black Abyss sank into the top of the Green Scaled Snake's head.

This attack caused huge damage to the Green Scaled Snake, which also burst out with extraordinary strength, roared and broke free from the restraints.

Zhou Chen also quickly flew away from his head, standing in the air and watching the Green Scaled Snake from afar. After breaking free from its restraints, the Green Scaled Snake no longer lingered in the fight and quickly crawled towards the mountains.

"Hmph, you still want to run?" Zhou Chen clenched his right hand into the void, and the surrounding trees grew rapidly. The branches quickly grabbed the Green Scaled Snake, and at the same time, countless vines and tree roots broke out of the ground and grabbed him.
