Chapter 42 Tier-3 Dark Ground Snake Beast

Jeremy felt a sense of crisis. The feeling of threat was greater than before. It was higher than the Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts. His eyes flashed with seriousness. A huge snake head appeared out of the shadows with a long, elongated body. The size of the snake beast was larger than the previous one. Its size was bigger than the previous two Tier-2 Dark Ground Snake Beasts combined. When its entire body came out of the shadows, its snake pupils gazed at the human prey. Jeremy gripped the katana tightly and began to channel the Starlight energy. He was getting a more sinister vibe than that of the Tier-3 Bloodthirsty Salamander and Black Wolf. The starlight covered the katana blade within seconds. Jeremy continued to observe the snake beast in front of him. Fighting against the Tier-3 Corrupted Beasts in this underground tunnel was difficult. But he had no other choice. Jeremy planned to apply the same tactics again. Swoosh! The huge snake beast sprinted forward. In the blink of an eye, it reached the human prey. Then it lowered its head to bite. The massive snake head opened its mouth wide. It could swallow two or three adult humans in one bite. Jeremy brought the katana forward to block. Boom! The snake beast's sheer force pushed him backwards. The Starlight blade managed to leave a cut in its mouth. Hiss! The snake beast hissed loudly as it felt massive pain from the injury. Its pupils enlarged the next second. It burst out with great speed the next moment. Jeremy hurriedly raised the katana blade to block. Boom! This time, the force behind the snake beast was powerful. It made him lose his balance. He cleverly retreated backwards to widen the gap. When he found the right opportunity, he plunged the katana forward to stab. The starlight energy-filled blade penetrated the neck area. Pfff! After doing that, he quickly withdrew the katana to stab again. The snake beast rolled over its body in pain, avoiding the attack. Jeremy's eyes flickered. He charged forward to attack again. About 10 minutes later, A decapitated head of the Tier-3 Ground Snake Beast rolled over the ground. Jeremy was gasping for breath while the huge snake beast remained lying on the ground. Jeremy's eyes flashed with relief. It took him a few calculated moves to cut the snake's head completely. In the end, the result was satisfying. Jeremy collected the decapitated head into the storage ring. The value of a single Tier-3 Beast head was high compared to the Tier-2 decapitated head. Just as he decided to leave, his gaze fell on the remains. Such a Tier-3 Beast had been lurking in the tunnel. It could have posed a greater threat if it had been left alone. The Snake Beast was already at Mid or Peak Stage. It could have reached Tier-4. Thinking about it, he felt glad that he didn't come across a Tier-4 Beast. He pushed down these thoughts before starting to climb back to the surface. He didn't want to spend any more time in the underground tunnel. Fighting against one Tier-3 Corrupted Beast had resulted in the depletion of his Starlight energy. Next, he had to recover again before continuing the hunt. If he decided to stay here longer, there could be a risk. Who knew there could be another Tier-3 Beast lurking inside the tunnel? He didn't want to risk his life. After coming back to the surface, he closed the sewer tunnel. Then he looked around the place before entering the abandoned store. He investigated the place. After a few minutes, he sat cross-legged in the corner and began to recover his starlight energy. For recovery, he couldn't do anything. He could only rely on the unknown lifeline beast egg. If there was a breathing method to practice, he could assist the lifeline beast in absorbing more natural energy from the surroundings. But he had no time to prepare earlier because he had wanted to stay low-key. Once the competition was over, he would ask Instructor Jacob for a suitable breathing method.
