Age of Evolution# Chapter 41 – Fight to the Death!

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Fight to the Death!

The moment he put down his spear, Lin Zhen felt a rare surge of excitement in his heart.

In his previous life, he had only completed the first of the Nine Layers Spear River, the second layer was not considered due to the lack of a secret manual, and he also feared of trying the go-forward without looking back style.

In this life, his fear had vanished, and he truly comprehended the preliminary idea of the Storm.

After putting away the Snake Letter, Lin Zhen didn’t know how many snakes he had killed. When he checked the time, ten hours had already passed.

“As expected, time flies when cultivating. In less than two hours, I’ll be leaving the small town.”

“During this last phase, I must examine this place thoroughly, kill as many snakes as possible, and ensure our squad can safely enter Yi Lan County.” Carrying the Black Dragon Spear, he continued to use the strategy of staggering the grass to startle the snakes, attracting hidden snakes from the darkness, As soon as a snake appeared, Lin Zhen would immediately kill it with thunderous force, barely using the flying blade.

However, the number of snakes encountered kept decreasing.

There was a two-story building ahead, the only surviving structure in this wasteland.

As he approached the small building, Lin Zhen felt a strong stench.

“This should be the snake’s nest. Who knows how many snakes and bugs are in here? Once it’s cleared, I should leave.’

The door had decayed after a thousand years of exposure to the elements, and Lin Zhen kicked the remaining wooden board away.

“It stinks!”

A disgusting smell hit him, causing him to almost vomit on the spot, and he nearly turned around to leave.

“No, I have to stay. This place may be smelly, but it looks like nobody has ever been here. The military might not have thoroughly searched this area, what if there is a meteorite here?”

Lin Zhen carefully entered the small building and looked around, disappointed to find no significant damage on the roof or walls.

“Has there been no meteorite strike here? But why would snakes and bugs choose to nest here?”

After searching for a while and not finding any traces of snakes or bugs, Lin Zhen, filled with doubt, moved some rubbish and prepared to check the basement of the small building.

“Hiss!

A gray snake suddenly shot out from a basement doorway, its flat head furiously biting at Lin Zhen.

“Swish!”

Lin Zhen flicked his spear and pinned the snake to the wall, then killed it with a quick pull and stir.

After slicing the Snake Letter, Lin Zhen realized the truth.

“So, the main nest of the snakes and bugs is in the basement. That makes things easier.”

Bearing the thick stench in the basement, Lin Zhen first ignited some weeds, then lit two wooden boards and threw them into the basement.

Dense smoke billowed up, covering the stench and causing chaos amongst the snakes and bugs in the basement.

One by one, the snakes rushed out from the basement, their enormous triangular heads terrifying to look at. Lin Zhen held his ground at the entrance of the basement, his spear swift and unyielding, killing snake after snake.

A shadow of the spear passed by, snakes hissing and rolling in pain, fresh blood staining Lin Zhen’s clothes, but he didn’t seem to care at all.

This process lasted for ten minutes before the basement finally settled down.

Lin Zhen felt a slight tremble in his arm, having killed twenty to thirty massive snakes in the process.

“Did I clean them all out? Why is the smoke gone so quickly? I should go down and take a look.”

With his spear in hand and his flying blade ready on standby, Lin Zhen cautiously entered the basement.

After entering the basement, his eyes lit up.

No wonder the smoke disappeared so quickly. There was a large, sloping hole in the roof of the basement, nearly three meters in diameter. In the basement, there was a massive deep pit.

In the pit, a huge snake with an indeterminable length was coiled, constantly flicking its tongue at Lin Zhen.

“A meteorite pit! There really is a meteorite pit here. It can become a nest for snakes and insects. There’s no doubt there’s still a Dark Energy Stone here, otherwise, this snake wouldn’t have grown so big.”

“This snake has been transformed by the Dark Energy, and it’s now a C-level Variant Beast. It seems that even the military isn’t sure if there is a C-level here, so it looks like nobody has been here before.”

Generally, even War Generals wouldn’t dare to provoke a C-level Variant Beast, let alone a Warrior Level. They would need several people to team up and kill it to ensure safety.

Lin Zhen couldn’t find anyone to team up with, so he had to face the challenge alone. If it were any other C-level Variant Beast, he would definitely be no match, but he wasn’t afraid of snake-type Variant Beasts.

The Giant Snake was coiled in the deep pit, constantly flicking its tongue at Lin Zhen, raising its head in an attacking posture, warning him not to approach.

But it never left the pit, obviously reluctant to leave the thing inside. Lin Zhen ignored its warning, lit the wooden plank again, and threw it into the deep pit.

The Giant Snake hissed and surprisingly caught the wooden plank in its mouth, flinging it away directly.

“Damn! If you’re gaining intelligence, I can’t believe I can’t take you down.” Lin Zhen took action once more, this time intending to set a big fire.

Gathering all the dry grass and wood he could find, Lin Zhen lit a raging fire inside the basement.

Unable to squat inside the big pit any longer, the Giant Snake suddenly sprang out and lunged straight for Lin Zhen’s throat.

Lin Zhen had been waiting for this moment. With a single thought, he sent three flying knives swiftly stabbing at the snake’s eyes and its vital points.

This Giant Snake was clearly much faster than other snakes. Dodging quickly, Lin Zhen’s flying knives missed the snake’s vulnerable spots, only taking off a few of its scales and small bits of flesh.

Lin Zhen and his spear charged like a cannonball, delivering a swift blow right at the wide-open mouth of the giant snake.

As the spear pierced into the snake’s mouth, the enormous impact forced the snake to tilt its head back, while Lin Zhen exerted all his strength, gripping the spear tightly with both hands as he pushed downwards from above.

“Stay right here!”

The lance forcefully nailed the snake’s head to the ground, the tip penetrating half a meter into the soil!

Ordinary snakes would have died by now, but this Giant Snake was incredibly tenacious. Its long body slithered up from the pit and unexpectedly coiled itself tight around Lin Zhen!

With immense pressure on every side, Lin Zhen’s bones creaked and groaned at this moment.

“Damn! This beast absorbed dark energy, its vitality far surpassing its peers. I underestimated C-level Variant Beasts.”

As breathing became difficult, Lin Zhen’s limbs grew immobile. The snake, now more than ten meters long, had wrapped him like a dumpling. Although its head was pinned, it still tried to strangle Lin Zhen before dying. “No! I cannot die here. I must kill it before I suffocate!”

“Although my hands and feet are immobile, I still have Spiritual Power!”

With Mental power activated, the three fallen flying knives soared into the air, gleaming coldly as they again targeted the snake’s eyes and vital points!

“Slap! Slap! Slap!”

The immobilized snake could no longer dodge, both its eyes were blinded, and its vital area was viciously stabbed by Lin Zhen’s knife.

However, the snake didn’t die right away; its body continued to contract and tighten around Lin Zhen.

“I can’t breathe! My chest is being crushed, and my ribs are about to break!”

“My Spiritual Power… once more!”

The flying knives rose again, this time aiming at the snake’s head from above.

Leading with two flying knives, they brutally stabbed into the snake’s head. This time, Lin Zhen had no intention of pulling the knives away. After penetrating the snake’s flesh, he furiously exerted his Spiritual Power and slashed left and right!

The top of the snake’s head was torn open, and Lin Zhen’s third flying knife drove deep inside!

“Puff!”

Fresh blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, and the snake’s constricting power suddenly weakened.

Lin Zhen felt increasingly dizzy, knowing that it was a sign of impending unconsciousness. His Spiritual Power could not withstand such intense expenditure.

But he had no choice. Summoning his Spiritual Power once more, he withdrew the flying knife and then stabbed it again!

He didn’t know how many times he repeated the action. He was entirely reliant on sheer willpower to keep going, determined not to pass out.

At last, the snake’s constricting force waned.

“The final blow!”

Lin Zhen bit his tongue fiercely, the pain helping to sharpen his mind momentarily. As the last knife flew out, he felt a boom in his head, and his body weakened all at once.

The giant snake died, its constricting strength gone. Lin Zhen lay limp on the snake’s corpse, unable to move a muscle.

In stark contrast to his body, over half of the spiritual power in his mind had undergone Silverization after experiencing this life-and-death struggle!
