I Can Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 130

The bus was parked beside a large river. There was a wide plain around it, and the view was extremely wide, making it easy to avoid any accidents.

There was still some time before dinner was ready. Chen Yiming, Fang Hongkun, and a few other people in charge went to the riverside.

“The upper reaches of this river pass through the Nuhe Mountain Range, so there are many aquatic mutant beasts,” Fang Hongkun explained.

Chen Yiming swept his gaze across the surface of the water.

Many aquatic mutant beasts were swimming in the river. The big ones were chasing the small ones, and there were flashes of red on the surface of the water from time to time.

Suddenly, an aquatic mutant beast jumped out of the water and swallowed the mutant beasts that were being chased. With a splash, it plunged back into the water.

From its appearance, this aquatic mutant beast had evolved from a tilapia.

Its body was nearly two meters long. When it opened its mouth, one could see densely packed sharp teeth.

Seeing this, Fang Hongkun made a request. “A large number of aquatic mutant beasts are flowing down the river, turning the beasts feeding on them in the plains into mutant beasts. If a group of mutant beasts attacks the convoy tonight, we will need Mr. Chen’s help.”

The warrior realm represented the top martial arts power in an ordinary city. Age did not matter.

After Chen Yiming revealed his internal force, which was the sign of a warrior, Fang Hongkun, as one of the higher-ups in East Lake City, had to give him sufficient respect.

“No problem,” Chen Yiming agreed with a nod.

His mission this time was to ensure the safety of the convoy.

After all, this place was far from the space-travel passage. Even a warrior candidate was sufficient to protect the convoy.

Now that he could openly use his power as a warrior to attack, he could destroy ordinary mutant beasts with a flick of his finger.

As they spoke, a black shadow more than 10 meters long swam past along the bottom of the river.

“What is that?” Fan Ronghua shouted in shock.

He subconsciously retreated and almost fell to the ground.

When the others heard this, they looked over and also retreated in fear.

Other than a few species with naturally long bodies, mutant beasts generally reached a length of more than 10 meters only at the level of the warrior realm.

The black shadow was more than 10 meters long. If one did not carefully determine which species it belonged to, it was easy to make a misjudgment.

“Everyone, don’t panic. That’s a black snake. Snake-type mutant beasts have to be more than 20 meters long to be at the level of the warrior realm,” Fang Hongkun reminded them loudly.

Hearing this, the others heaved a sigh of relief, but they still did not dare to return to their previous positions.

A snake-type mutant beast over 10 meters long was also equivalent to a human warrior candidate.

Most of them were at the level of six to eight transformations. If they were ambushed by the black snake, they would not be able to react in time.

Suddenly, the black snake that had slithered away turned back again.

Chen Yiming, who was standing by the river, seemed to have attracted the black snake’s attention.

“Am I being treated as its prey?” Chen Yiming smiled when he saw the black snake’s movements.

At this moment, Fang Hongkun, who had retreated a few meters, said, “Mr. Chen, the black snake’s gallbladder can remove the poison left in one’s body from consuming mutant beast meat for a long time. It’s quite valuable.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming’s interest was piqued.

Consuming mutant beast meat for a long time could help temper the body. However, this method of relying on external forces to cultivate also brought about hidden dangers.

Some toxins that humans could not metabolize remained in their bodies.

Chen Yiming had no use for it himself. His internal force flowed through his entire body, and any poison would be instantly negated.

However, Chen Yingying, who had relied on external forces to break through, needed the gallbladder of the black snake very much. This black snake gallbladder at the level of a warrior candidate was enough for Chen Yingying to use for a long time.

“I only want the snake gallbladder. I’ll leave the rest of the black snake meat for the team to eat,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

With that, he took a step onto the surface of the river.

The black snake, which was floating two meters below the river, witnessed Chen Yiming’s speed.

“Splash!”

The black snake tried its best to escape to the bottom of the river.

“Where are you going?!”

Chen Yiming shouted as his hand, covered in black fog, struck the surface of the water.

“Boom!”

The surface of the river exploded, revealing a circular, waterless area with a diameter of more than 10 meters and a depth of four to five meters.

Chen Yiming grabbed the snake’s tail at lightning speed.

The black fog internal force was only something he had cultivated at the last minute. The majority of the internal force stored in his body was the strength-based internal force.

Even without the help of his internal force, his strength was not something that the black snake at the level of a warrior candidate could withstand.

“Splash!”

Chen Yiming easily pulled the black snake out of the river.

Throughout the entire process, the black snake resisted with all its might. However, because the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, it was like a chick being targeted by an eagle.

“Hiss!”

The black snake flicked its tongue and turned around to bite Chen Yiming.

Among living creatures, the snakes’ attack speed was among the best. If the human in front of it was only at the level of a warrior candidate, at such a close distance, he would probably have been bitten.

“If I wasn’t afraid of damaging you, I would have smashed you to bits with a single blow,” Chen Yiming said with a smile.

He flicked the black snake’s head at lightning speed.

First, there was the sound of bones breaking. Then, the entire snake’s head exploded, and bits of its brains splattered everywhere. The black snake was killed instantly.

The power of the second stage of the warrior realm was terrifying. Chen Yiming had already tried his best to control his strength, intending to knock the black snake out.

However, not long after he broke through, the explosive increase in strength after his body reached a new level made it impossible for him to accurately grasp it, causing the black snake’s brains to fly into the river.

Chen Yiming didn’t mind it too much and threw the dead black snake onto the shore.

“Bang!”

The black snake’s corpse crashed into the mud by the river, and the ground shook violently.

Its body was more than 10 meters long and half a meter thick. It weighed at least several kilograms.

Chen Yiming took a step back to the riverbank and smiled. “I didn’t control my strength well and wasted its brain.”

Each part of the black snake, which was at the level of a warrior candidate, had a certain worth.

Special organs like the brain and gallbladder were often much more precious than snake meat.

The other people in charge felt that it was a pity, but they didn’t dare to say anything. After all, Chen Yiming was the one who had killed the black snake.

“Fan Ronghua, go to the convoy and find a few people to deal with the black snake. Remember to keep an eye on them yourself. Keep the snake’s gallbladder for Mr. Chen,” Fang Hongkun stood up and instructed.

“Leave it to me,” Fan Ronghua promised as he patted his chest.

Soon, he found a few people to carry the black snake back to the convoy.

Chen Yiming and Fang Hongkun didn’t follow the group back. Instead, they stayed by the river.

He swept his gaze across the river and saw countless aquatic mutant beasts trying to get at the brain matter of the black snake that had melted into the river.

Under the surface of the river, a battle between the mutant beasts had broken out because of the brain matter of the black snake.

Countless aquatic mutant beasts were fighting each other for the sake of the black snake’s brain. Bright red spots kept appearing on the river surface, and a large number of aquatic mutant beasts were killed by their own kind.

“No wonder not a single ship dares to sail on this river even though it’s hundreds of meters wide.” Chen Yiming sighed as he watched the battle below the river.

As long as they passed by a large river near the space-travel passage, human ships would not be able to pass through it due to the attack by countless aquatic mutant beasts.

“Indeed, the reproduction ability of mutant beasts is generally stronger than that of humans. Now, in the sky and underwater, mutant beasts hold the power,” Fang Hongkun sighed.

“What’s the situation with transport by sea?” Chen Yiming asked.

After transmigrating to this world, he had not yet been to the seaside.

Fang Hongkun shook his head and explained, “The mutant beasts in the sea are much stronger than those in the rivers. The losses from transporting by sea are too much.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming fell into deep thought.

Between the cities, only transportation by land and transportation by river in some parts were available. It was clear that the situation of the war with the otherworld was difficult.

After East Lake City was attacked by a flock of alien bird creatures, they could not subsist on their own resources, and had to rely on support from other cities.
