Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Liu Ruyan Reaches the High Point, Shang Xiu Discovers Demon Qi

Lu Chen was fully focused, carefully cutting open the serpent but did not notice the spread of the Demon Qi.

What he thought was to first extract the serpent’s inner core and keep it safe.

As for the scales, wanting to cut them off one by one would be too much work.

He sat on the serpent’s back, slowly cutting open a wound at the seven-inch area.

After cutting open all the surrounding scales, the wound became much larger.

The serpent was not small in size, with each scale as large as his palm. Once he dug out a hole the size of a fist, there was only the relatively soft Demon Flesh left at the wound.

Lu Chen was delighted, thinking that if he could make a hole at the wound, he might even be able to directly search for the demon pill.

It couldn’t possibly be so unlucky that the previous gunshot had damaged the demon pill!

As far as the present situation was concerned, the demon pill was immediately useful to him.

After collecting several scales, Lu Chen once again slowly began to cut the flesh with his long spear.

The spear tip was sharp, useless against the scales, but it cut through the serpent’s flesh as if it were nothing, making the task extremely smooth.

Lu Chen cut piece by piece, then threw them onto the sandy beach, oblivious to the fact that the Demon Qi and blood contained within were irresistibly attractive to the beasts of the deserted island!

Meanwhile.

Liu Ruyan was a stone’s throw from the mountain peak.

Her figure drifted lightly, moving swiftly as she threaded her way into the dense forest, without making a single noise.

Now, she only needed to climb up to take the highest point of the entire island!

"But, there’s simply no place to stand here, do I have to use talismans?"

She frowned looking at the cliff face. When she was on the outskirts of the island, being far away, she couldn’t see clearly.

But now, right beneath the cliff, she discovered there was nowhere to plant her feet, and climbing up would be impossible.

Occupying this as a temporary shelter seemed fine, but ascending and descending would be very inconvenient.

"Still, I’ll go up first and figure it out later. Only from here can I observe the entire island, and it’s not easy for beasts to disturb me!"

On her way here, Liu Ruyan also found many traces of beast activity, especially some footprints, from which she could guess the size of the beasts.

She often trained in the depths of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and had seen plenty of beasts.

After deciding, Liu Ruyan took a Skywalking Talisman out of her storage bag.

With Imperial Command, the talisman burned to ash.

Liu Ruyan was immediately enveloped by the Spiritual Power within the talisman.

The next moment, she rose lightly, stepping on air, soaring straight up as if taken by a whirlwind!

"I only brought two Skywalking Talismans, and it seems the remaining one can’t be used unless absolutely necessary," she muttered to herself, already landing on top of the cliff.

This was the highest point of the island, commanding a view from above, with a clear view of the entire deserted island!

The whole island was covered with dense vegetation, the closer to the center, the taller the ancient trees reached.

Only the island’s shoreline was either rocky or sandy, without any growth.

Liu Ruyan spotted a huge snake tail, which was motionless.

"There’s a huge rock at the head end, blocking the view. I don’t know what the serpent demon looks like, or if it’s still alive!"

This was naturally the place where Lu Chen dissected the serpent demon. Conveniently, the boulder blocked both Lu Chen’s figure and the serpent’s head, and Liu Ruyan couldn’t see anything.

Liu Ruyan’s gaze lingered for a moment before looking in another direction.

"Huh?"

On the other side, there was a disturbance in the woods. Some tall ancient trees trembled slightly, their branches and leaves swaying back and forth on the canopy.

"This direction too has beasts! Fortunately, I’m hidden here, rather than going over to investigate!"

Liu Ruyan secretly rejoiced and then turned her attention to the last direction.

Unbeknownst to her, Shang Xiu was coming from that direction, having passed through the dense forest and below the cliff. She too was looking up at the top, her eyes flickering, pondering something!

But suddenly, she sniffed, "It seems like another direction has a strong Demon Qi, which can only be present if a beast died! Who could it be?"
