580: Chapter 581: Encounter with the Giant Snake_1 580: Chapter 581: Encounter with the Giant Snake_1 Whoosh!
Li Changlin imdiately drew the Precious Sword and with a leap, lightly landed at a spot two ters away.
He had already guessed that when the snake head shot up, it was clearly locking onto his position.
Now that the giant snake had confird his location, it was obviously about to launch an attack.
Indeed, just as Xisuo’s voice approached a distance of about ten ters, the giant snake hidden among the underbrush suddenly sprang out.
This ti, the entire body of the snake transford into an arrow released from a bowstring, shooting rapidly towards the spot where Li Changlin had been standing just monts before.
Rustle!
This strike, of course, hit nothing; Li Changlin had already jumped to the side.
And at that mont, Li Changlin could clearly see that the giant snake was freakingly about twenty ters long.
Good Lord, on its head, the giant snake even had a flesh crown—could it be on the verge of becoming a spirit!
A slight heaviness settled in Li Changlin’s heart, but he wasn’t afraid.
He moved swiftly and imdiately swung his sword at the tail of the giant snake.
Clang!
This slash unexpectedly made a dull sound; the Jing Jue Sword did not cut through the snake’s flesh and rely slid off.
“Damn!” Li Changlin was slightly stunned, but quickly realised what happened.
What he held in his hand was a sword, not a knife; perhaps if he had thrust forcefully, he might have achieved sothing.
Roar!
The giant snake had already reacted.
It suddenly lifted its tail and swept it powerfully towards Li Changlin’s body.
Damn it!
Li Changlin’s eyes narrowed and he imdiately tried to leap away to dodge.
But the tail ca so swiftly that even with Li Changlin’s sensitive reaction, he couldn’t avoid the strike.
A smack.
Li Changlin was directly swept away, and while he was in the air, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
At that mont, the snake let out a hiss from its mouth and twisted its head to lunge at Li Changlin in the air.
Damn!
Li Changlin felt so irritated he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
He quickly exerted his strength to twist his body, forcibly shifting himself to one side.
With a whoosh, the snake’s head flashed past Li Changlin’s body.
Now!
While Li Changlin’s body hadn’t yet hit the ground and the giant snake’s body was flashing before his eyes, he didn’t hesitate at all; he imdiately grabbed at the snake’s body, used it to propel himself up, and landed on the back of the giant snake.
Roar!
Feeling Li Changlin on its back, the giant snake sensed him and hissed, raising its tail to strike at Li Changlin.
Having just been caught off guard by the snake’s previous move, Li Changlin was well aware of the tail’s terror, so he imdiately raised the Precious Sword in his hand and thrust it towards the snake’s tail.
Shlurp!
The snake’s tail ca with the force of a gale, swiftly nearing the Jing Jue Sword, and was then pierced through.
Woo…
A howl ca from the snake’s mouth; it must have been pained by the stab.
Its tail quickly retracted, attempting to pull out the Precious Sword.
Seeing this, how could Li Changlin give it such a chance, he imdiately leapt up, already jumping off from the snake’s back.
He concentrated his strength between his arms, gripped the hilt with both hands, and forcefully slashed outward.
Hiss.
Instantly, the snake’s tail was cleaved open by Li Changlin, and snake blood spurted wildly from the wound.
Ssssss!
The giant snake let out a piercing scream from its mouth.
The wound was so large that it twisted its head abruptly, its eyes filled with malice as it glared at Li Changlin.
In fact, the snake was nearsighted; it wasn’t relying on its eyes to discern objects.
This action was rely instinctual, or perhaps Li Changlin believed the giant snake was staring him down.
Whoosh!
The giant snake moved; it turned its body and lunged forward with its mouth wide open.
Seeing this, Li Changlin didn’t feel the slightest bit of terror.
He didn’t engage in direct combat, but instead dodged the snake’s lunge with a swift sidestep.
Now injured, the snake’s blood was rapidly draining from its body.
Li Changlin believed it wouldn’t be long before he could finish off the giant snake, and he no longer felt much pressure.
Having missed with its initial strike, the snake swung its tail to hit Li Changlin again.
But the wound was so large that any exertion caused even more blood to flow from its body.
Thus, the snake was forced to abandon this attack mode; it turned its body around again and lunged ferociously.
However, Li Changlin had already planned for this; he did not engage the snake head-on, instead dodging to gradually weaken it.
Though this tactic made Li Changlin appear rather beleaguered, he preserved his fighting strength, which ensured a significant advantage for the final assault on the snake.
For about ten minutes or so, the snake’s body beca weaker and weaker.
Apparently sensing sothing was off, as it was unable to get the better of Li Changlin for so long, the snake began to think about retreating.
After another failed attack, instead of turning around, it slid straight into the thick grass.
Li Changlin saw this and knew the giant snake wanted to escape.
After a hard fight and having sustained so minor injuries, there was no way Li Changlin would let the snake get away.
Moreover, he knew that such snakes bore grudges.
If he didn’t kill it now, the snake might attack him after he returned from the Mysterious Marsh Forest.
Even worse, by then, the snake could bring friends, which would be real trouble.
Therefore, Li Changlin naturally harbored a killing intent; he imdiately took down his great bow.
He started moving quickly, chasing after the giant snake.
While chasing, Li Changlin bent his bow, drew an arrow, and shot rapidly toward the snake’s body.
Since it was his first ti using this weapon, Li Changlin naturally couldn’t handle it smoothly, so the arrow missed its target completely.
Li Changlin wasn’t the least bit discouraged; he didn’t stop his pursuit, shooting a second arrow while on the move.
The giant snake was fleeing fast, but after all, its body was already very weak.
So Li Changlin, unhurried, managed to keep up.
And with the deterrence of the great bow, he also caused a certain amount of trouble for the snake.
After several arrows, Li Changlin slowly adapted to and understood the use of this weapon.
When he was just about to catch up with the snake, he drew his bow again and aid directly at the front of the snake’s head.
Previously, Li Changlin had targeted the snake’s body, but since it was in motion and the arrow needed ti to travel through the air,
By the ti the arrow actually reached the ground, the snake had long since slithered away.
Taking this into account, Li Changlin had calculated the snake’s speed and thus released that arrow.
