BXBX NOVEL Chapter 369 Two-Tailed Serpent
Two hours later, Bai Chen sat stroking his stomach with satisfaction. In front of him was an extinguished bonfire with white smoke lingering about. There were also the bones of a whole red-furred hog scattered about the area.
Bai Chen had been able to eat the whole hog thanks to the huge appetite of a cultivator. Now, he could eat a lot more than when he was an ordinary human.
However, it would not be like this for long. The higher the level, the smaller the appetite. At the end, he would not feel hunger again.
It was obvious that cultivators could live without eating anything. However, that was only for those who were at legendary realm or higher.
There was a long way to go. A cultivator would take hundreds of years to reach the legendary level.
“Red-furred hogs clearly taste better than villainous deer.”
Bai Chen smiled. He’d found that red-furred hogs tasted a lot better than villainous deer.
“I won’t eat the deer anymore.” Bai Chen made a firm decision. Then, he opened up the sub-mission window, though he had seen it before.

[Sub-mission: Slay 1 tertiary nascent beast]
Description: You have to kill 1 tertiary nascent beast
Reward for success: Win 140 points + 140 magical bonuses
---
‘This mission awards a rather large number of points and magical bonuses,’ Bai Chen thought. Then, he realised something.
The sub-mission did not have a penalty for failure. He had not realised it sooner because he had been so focused on completing the missions.
Now that he realised it, it intrigued him. It was a benefit to him anyway.
Bai Chen slowly stood up. He looked ahead in a particular direction.
It was where the green arrow pointed. It was where the tertiary nascent beast he had to kill was.
If he had not gotten the sacred sword, he would not have dared to fool around with beasts of that level. He was only at the secondary stage. There was only death waiting for him if he fought them.
Just the difference between the power of a cultivator and a beast at the same level was bad enough. With a higher-level beast, he had no chance against it.
Bai Chen was not a fool. He would not dare to risk his life if he was not at the tertiary nascent level yet.
However, now that he had the sacred sword, a high-grade weapon, he did not have to be scared of a tertiary nascent beast!
With total confidence, Bai Chen started to walk forward casually and at a moderate pace.
His silver costume sparkled in the sunlight. It was as if he was a Chinese martial artist taking a casual walk in the forest.
Ten minutes later, Bai Chen was in the thick part of the forest. The atmosphere of the surroundings was a little dim and gloomy. It was completely different from the spot he had been at previously.
p
The experience that his future self had let him see had not come about easily. He’d had to go through a great many hardships. It was a great reminder for him that whether an opponent was strong or weak, to not to underestimate anything.
This was since only just the slightest underestimation could bring with it great damages. He might die in the worst case scenario!
While Bai Chen was standing still, he heard a movement from the shrubbery not so far in front of him.
Whooosh!
Suddenly, a creature revealed its scary, blood-red eyes. It slowly crawled out of the bushes.
Bai Chen’s eyes narrowed. His body tensed up. “A two-tailed serpent!”
He could now clearly see its huge body. It was as tall as an electrical pole. He knew that it was a two-tailed serpent. Its appearance was unique, with its pitch-black skin covered by powerful scales.
In contrast with the body, its head was red. Its two tails were as sharp as blades, their tips full of venom even deadlier than its fangs!
Its eyes narrowed until they formed a single straight line when it saw the human Bai Chen.
It was at the tertiary nascent level. It knew right away which level Bai Chen was at.
Once it knew that Bai Chen was at the secondary stage, it only felt disdain towards Bai Chen. It did not feel threatened at all.
It never expected that on this day, there would be a pathetic little human at this weak level encroaching onto its territory while it was relaxing.
This was its territory. There were only a few beasts that dared to trespass into it.
Since there was a person who’d dared to trespass like this, that person should not hope to survive!
The two-tailed serpent stuck out its tongue. Its acidic saliva dripped onto the ground. The soil was immediately eroded.
It stared at Bai Chen with its terrifying eyes for a while. Then, it started to move towards Bai Chen with an incredible speed.
One should not underestimate its speed even though it was a reptile. It was very fast for a reptile. It was even faster than a red-furred hog.
However, Bai Chen was not a fool to just stand there and wait for his death. He started to move.
He ran with all his might to the side. It looked like he was running away.
Seeing that, the two-tailed serpent looked down upon him even more. It felt like this human was truly a coward. At least some of the people it had eaten before had fought to the death instead of running away like this.
Bai Chen did not care about what the beast was thinking. He did not want to know. He was searching for a chance to kill the beast with a single blow.
It was highly possible that it would strike back at him if he did not kill it with a single blow. There was no guarantee of what would happen to him in that situation. This was why he thought of killing the two-tailed serpent in one blow!
