Lin Zhen did not continue pursuing the person who ambushed him. Time was pressing, and he felt that the captain’s performance might not be ideal. If he were to lag behind, the Demon Hunter team would not be qualified to enter Yi Lan County Town.

Picking up the Black Dragon Spear, Lin Zhen began hunting everywhere.

“Now, I have the strength to kill F-Level and E-Level monsters without much effort, but D-Level ones are difficult, unless they have strong offense and weak defense. I might be able to achieve instant killing by controlling the flying knife with my Spiritual Power.”

The most common D-Level monsters, aside from large animals like cattle and horses, were poisonous snakes.

Apart from their fangs and constriction, mutated poisonous snakes mainly relied on their slow moving speed and weak defense. Lin Zhen set his target on them.

“Snakes prefer to inhabit shady, damp places with abundant weeds. From the terrain of the entire small town, the Northeast region might be the most suitable place for snakes to live.”

Setting his goal, Lin Zhen started heading towards the Northeast.

On the way, Lin Zhen successively killed two Mutant pigs, a Mutant cat, and dozens of F-Level monsters.

He randomly fitted the cut-off ears and other things as he gradually arrived at the Northeast of the small town.

The Northeast was the most severely affected area with meteorite pits scattered everywhere. It had been devastated to such an extent that one could hardly find a standing house.

Wild grass grew over the ruins, and Lin Zhen saw several corpses just as he approached the area.

The fallen bodies were of warriors from the outside. Having died not long ago, their faces showed a greenish-black color, clearly dying from poisoning.

One of the bodies was entwined by a giant snake over seven meters long. With its mouth wide open, it was swallowing the body, only leaving the two legs outside.

“As I expected, if there are mutated snake-type beasts in the small town, then this is their gathering place— the snake’s nest.”

Lin Zhen quickly attacked when the giant snake was at its most vulnerable, swallowing its prey. He stabbed its head with the spear, and with a twist, mashed the snake’s head into a pulp.

The giant snake, which was halfway through swallowing, was killed by Lin Zhen.

“This kind of poisonous snake is a D-Level Mutated Beast, both one of the most ferocious and vulnerable among the D-Level creatures. As long as you find their weak points, it’s not difficult to kill them.”

“Ordinary warriors dare not enter this snake’s nest, but my Black Dragon Spear has the advantage of a long weapon, which can be considered the best weapon for hunting snake-types. Moreover, if I encounter more difficult snake-types, I have flying knives and outstanding nerve reaction, which are all advantages that other warriors do not have.”

Lin Zhen leapt into the ruins, releasing his spiritual power, and his senses were exceptionally sensitive. After mutation, snake-types had grown considerably in size, losing their stealth ability, making it almost impossible to ambush Lin Zhen.

With a flick of the Black Dragon Spear in his hand, Lin Zhen danced among the ruins, stirring up a cloud of dust and making a big commotion.

With one move of Stormy Wind, the weeds were pressed down as though something had crushed them, revealing numerous giant snakes hiding in the lush grass.

These inherently fierce giant snakes felt provoked, began to crawl out from their hiding spots, and slithered towards Lin Zhen.

“Come, come, I’m beating the grass to startle the snakes, just to get you out. Each D-Level monster is worth a hundred points, and undoubtedly the most efficient spot for brushing points.”

A giant snake reached Lin Zhen first, raising its barrel-sized body high, standing at a height of two meters. Its strong mutated muscles were capable of supporting such a movement. Opening its huge mouth, it lunged down at Lin Zhen from above.

Before the mouth could get close, a strong, foul smell rushed over.

“Take this!”

Lin Zhen shook his hand, and the Black Dragon Spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning. The giant snake, though not slow, dodged in mid-air.

Lin Zhen was currently using the second move of Nine Layers Spear River, Storm.

Although Lin Zhen had not yet comprehended the essence of Storm, if a snake could easily dodge it, he wouldn’t need to practice anymore.

The spear tip trembled, curved in mid-air, and stabbed into the giant snake’s mouth!

“Plop! ”

Entering from the mouth and piercing out the back of the head, Lin Zhen exerted force on his arm, turning the snake’s brain into mush, causing the colossal body to fall from the sky.

He pulled the spear back, cutting off the giant snake’s red letter and casually tossing it into his backpack.

“A hundred points in my hands! Killing a giant snake equals all the gains I’ve made since entering the town for this long.”

After killing the first giant snake, Lin Zhen looked around and saw nearly ten giant snakes closing in on him.

“Good, these giant snakes are perfect for practicing Storm. I don’t aim to master it in one go, but at least I want to make my spear arts proficient, initially possessing the power of stormy wind and rain.”

Lin Zhen wielded his long spear and charged into the group of giant snakes. The biggest threat of these snakes was their sudden strikes, with speeds comparable to bullets. This posed a significant danger for warriors with a neural response above 0.01. However, Lin Zhen happened to be that freak, with his neural response already reaching the War General Stage, making it difficult for these giant snakes to kill him in one hit.

If the giant snakes wanted to strangle Lin Zhen, they would be repelled or even killed by his storm-like attacks.

Even if there were occasional dangers, Lin Zhen’s flying knives would promptly come to his rescue, saving him from peril.

Under Lin Zhen’s deliberate control, his spear art comprehension progressed rapidly. After all, he had studied spear arts for a long time in his previous life, so his speed was naturally beyond that of ordinary people.

Although the speed of killing giant snakes was not very fast, a D-level mutated beast fell under his spear every ten minutes or so, a pace that left other warriors far behind.

Gradually, Lin Zhen ventured deeper into the ruins, with the corpses of giant snakes lying behind him, and dozens of snake letters packed inside his backpack.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

A burst of intense light flashed quickly, and a giant snake that had just emerged didn’t even have a chance to fight back before its head was riddled with holes from the rain-like stabs. It collapsed and died on the spot.

“This is the feeling! This is the feeling! Just now, for an instant, I seemed to grasp the concept of stormy wind and rain. As long as I can hold on to this feeling, I will have mastered the second level of the Nine Layers Spear River to some extent.”

“A proficient second level is enough to fight against an early-stage War General. When spiritual power can’t be easily exposed, this is the foundation for my cross-level combat.”

After his rebirth, Lin Zhen seemed to have a higher comprehension of combat than before. The high proportion of Genetic Potion and the absorption of Dark Energy Stones were subtly transforming him.

Not having time to deal with the snake letter, Lin Zhen sat down to recall his earlier insights.

“Nine Layers Spear River, the first two layers of stormy wind and rain, aim to give opponents a fierce blow. The most important thing is not to retreat. Once one retreats, the storm disappears, and the rain vanishes. Without momentum, naturally, there is no power.”

“When facing these giant snakes, I still have fear in my heart, fearing their poisonous fangs, fearing death’s embrace. Although these things can indeed be fatal, in the end, it’s because I don’t believe in myself. As long as I believe in myself and master the stormy wind and rain, how could a mere mutated venomous snake have a chance to harm me?”

“Man is like a spear, and the spear is like a storm. This is the most important thing…”

“I’ve lived again, and this life is a free gift. If I’m still so timid, it would be a real waste of this rebirth…”

A few minutes later, Lin Zhen opened his eyes, picked up the Black Dragon Spear, and saw another giant snake rushing towards him.

“Die for me!”

Lin Zhen exerted force with his foot, leaping forward like a cannonball, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him. He raised his spear and charged with no hesitation!

Gale begins, storm ensues!

As the shadow swept past, the giant snake already lay on the ground, riddled with holes, unable to even react!

The second level of Nine Layers Spear River, Storm – spear art proficiency achieved!
