Li Yuan pulled out what Li Yang had given him as a life-saving treasure before, the "Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill."
Below a Flying Heaven Warrior, anyone who took it would survive as long as their head did not suffer a fatal injury, and they would recover from all their wounds.
"This... argh..." Liu Jing was extremely weak, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to speak.
He guessed that Li Yuan had taken out something to save lives and wanted to stop him.
However, his Origin Power was completely exhausted. He had just fought desperately to kill the king of the Flying Serpents, used a life-risking secret technique, and lost both arms and a leg. In addition, he was at very close range to the surging Origin Power impact of the Flying Serpent King.
It could be said that it was only good luck that he hadn't died on the spot.
He could only let Li Yuan do as he pleased.
"Gulp~" Liu Jing swallowed the Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill, and Li Yuan let go of his mouth, still looking at Liu Jing with some concern.
Although Li Yang had boasted about it, Li Yuan still had a trace of doubt in his heart, given how severely injured Liu Jing was.
But just a few seconds later.
"Hm?" A trace of surprise flashed through Li Yuan's heart.
"Ah~" Liu Jing's body suddenly shook violently, emitting a low roar, his face showing a hint of pain.
It seemed he was enduring great pain.
But his low roar made Li Yuan's eyes light up.
His voice was much stronger than one would expect from a dying man—the Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill seemed to have pulled Liu Jing back from the brink of death.
"Sss~" Intense pain swept through Liu Jing's entire body.
Even his strong willpower was nearly at its limit, and he couldn't help but let out low roars of pain.
That terrible pain made the veins on Liu Jing's face bulge violently.
"Good, very good! Truly great!" Li Yuan's face, however, revealed a trace of joy.
He had won the bet; Liu Jing was saved!
In Li Yuan's perception, Liu Jing's life force was rapidly recovering, climbing from previously less than level 10 in Life Level, it was now continuously rising.
Level 13, 13.5, 14, 14.4...
Li Yuan watched as Liu Jing's limbs, which had been destroyed, were crazily regrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye—flesh, bones, sinews... everything extending.
As his maimed limbs grew, the polluted blood that had been contained within Liu Jing's body was also being forced out by the medicine's effect.
"Growth this fast?" Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.
He finally understood why Li Yang valued the 'Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill' so much, calling it 'priceless' and an object of pursuit among Prime Warriors.
The effect was indeed exaggerated.
Raising the dead was definitely not possible, but regrowing flesh over bone was in no way an exaggeration.
"Ahhhh~" Liu Jing's eyes bulged.
His face had regained a healthy complexion, and he couldn't help but burst into a series of low roars.
He indeed felt his life force crazily recovering.
However, the pain of limbs regrowing in an extremely short time was truly unbearable for ordinary people.
It was so painful that Liu Jing almost felt like dying.
"Sss~" His bones kept growing.
As if they were grinding against his flesh.
"Ah!" After a sudden roar, Liu Jing could no longer bear it and completely passed out.
Sss~ Only Liu Jing's body kept trembling.
"Passed out? It seems Senior Liu's willpower isn't as strong as I imagined. Is it that painful?" Li Yuan muttered, "It's better that he's passed out."
Being unconscious, sometimes, was a form of self-protection.
Li Yuan grabbed Liu Jing and slung him onto his back.
"Hum~" The black Battle Garment that originally covered only the skin's surface flowed like liquid, instantly securing Liu Jing's body onto Li Yuan with rope-like strands.
Li Yuan gave a shake; it was very stable.
"Time to go." Li Yuan surveyed his surroundings, which still remained dangerous.
So much time had passed, and more and more Flying Serpents had been gathering from all directions.
Although there was no Second Rank Flying Serpent leading them, and the continuous fierce battles had inflicted heavy casualties on them, most of the Flying Serpents were now full of timidity and fear.
Many powerful Flying Serpents, especially those at level 19, still remembered that Li Yuan had taken away the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.
In the eyes of these Flying Serpents, the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits represented their hope of breaking through to Second Rank.
"Alone and having to carry Senior Liu." Li Yuan glanced at the huge corpse of the Flying Serpent King.
Such a Second Rank Alien Race creature was valuable all over—blood, flesh, skin, bones... could all be sold for extremely high prices.
If the entire corpse could be safely brought back to Xia Country, Li Yuan estimated that it could sell for at least two to three hundred million Blue Star Coins.
Unfortunately, there was no way for Li Yuan alone to move such a colossal corpse from the deep valley.
With a slight exertion of his legs, Li Yuan, carrying Liu Jing, leaped onto the head of the Flying Serpent King's corpse.
The short knife landed in his hand.
"Sss~" Li Yuan followed an existing wound on the giant's head and forcefully cut down.
But he only left shallow blood marks.
"Damn! It's this hard?" Li Yuan's eyes widened. Though he had anticipated the skin of a level 25 Flying Serpent King to be incredibly tough, he didn't expect it to be this strong.
A force of a hundred thousand pounds had been unleashed.
At that moment, Li Yuan realized how fortunate he was to have survived the Flying Serpent King's final blow.
The gap between Level 19 and Level 25 is simply too vast.
"Buzz~" With a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power surged into the dagger, a faint yellow streamer swept across the blade, and he slashed down fiercely once again.
"Rip~" This time, he finally managed to make a cut. The blade, infused with Origin Power, forcefully carved around the sharp horn on the head of the Flying Serpent King and ultimately plunged deep into the flesh.
Merely ten or so seconds.
A sharp horn, approximately thirty centimeters high and with its flesh blurred, appeared in front of Li Yuan.
"Second Rank Flying Serpents can barely be considered as lesser dragons or lesser flood dragons," Li Yuan mused silently. "Their snake horns are a sign of evolution and are worth at least tens of millions of Blue Star Coins."
It was also the most valuable part of the Flying Serpent King's body, second only to the pair of sharp claws of the Flying Serpent King.
Li Yuan placed the huge horn at his waist, and the battle suit extended several black threads again, firmly wrapping it against his body.
The Origin Power Battle Suit was active and could freely change its shape, forming packs, extending in length, and so on.
But there was one thing.
The farther it extended outward, the more its most important 'defense' capability would decline, so the user had to gauge it carefully.
"What a pity," Li Yuan glanced at the pair of claws, each of which was taller than a person.
Just this pair of claws would be worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins, but unfortunately, they were too big, and there was no way Li Yuan could take them with him.
"Being too greedy can choke you; it's best to stop while you're ahead," a teaching of his uncle surfaced in Li Yuan's mind – seek fortune amidst danger but also risk losing it all.
If it was purely for wealth, there was no need to be overly frantic.
After storing away the dagger, Li Yuan's figure moved, gripping the long spear as he darted towards the distance with astonishing speed.
Seeing Li Yuan truly attempting to escape,
"Roar~" The Flying Serpents above Level 19 could no longer restrain themselves and rushed over with fierce roars.
They also tried to command other Flying Serpents to intercept Li Yuan.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Not only did many Flying Serpents on the ground lunge over, but from the cliff sides, several others also swooped down with outstretched wings from high above, aiming at Li Yuan as he ascended swiftly.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Terrifying spear shadows swept across the vast sky, and the bodies of the Flying Serpents charging at Li Yuan were either torn apart or their heads were pierced. Their massive bodies fell towards the ground one after another.
Not one was a match for him.
Previously, even the 21.3 Level Flying Serpent leader, leading a substantial number of First Rank Flying Serpents in attack, was rapidly killed by Li Yuan in a desperate fight.
Let alone these ordinary Flying Serpents of mere Level 16 or 17.
During the initial inquiry, had it not been for the discovery of two Second Rank Flying Serpents, Li Yuan might have directly taken action.
First Rank? Now there were hardly any that Li Yuan took seriously.
Ascending along the cliff at high speed, the Flying Serpents daring to intercept became fewer and fewer. Soon after, Li Yuan had flipped over the cliff and swiftly disappeared into the vast forests.
Inside Flying Serpent Valley, only a scene of devastation remained along with bodies, as the mournful wails of the Flying Serpents echoed continuously.
With Liu Jing on his back, Li Yuan quickly escaped from the confines of Flying Serpent Valley, not daring to delay for even a moment.
"So much time has passed."
"If the high-level members of the Tianliang Clan really make a move and send a Prime Warrior here, they could be very close to Flying Serpent Valley by now," Li Yuan had firmly decided that it was best to quickly flee far away first.
Li Yuan did not believe he could stand against the Tianliang Clan's army alone.
Escaping was the right path.
In less than twenty minutes, Li Yuan had escaped more than 30 kilometers, and the signal from his smart ring had completely recovered.
"I should first report the situation to base, to prevent any misjudgments by other senior members," Li Yuan instinctively looked back at Liu Jing, who was still unconscious.
Liu Jing's limbs had fully regrown, and his breathing had become long and steady.
His life force was growing stronger.
"My encounter with Senior Liu Jing..." Li Yuan organized his words and reported the rough situation at Flying Serpent Valley, mainly about how he and Liu Jing battled three Second Rank Flying Serpents and ultimately killed them all, as well as the process of Liu Jing's severe injury.
He only concealed the matter of the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.
If Flying Serpent Valley was suitable for establishing a war base, it should be up to the country to develop it.
But as for the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits, from beginning to end, they were a spoil of war seized by him and Senior Liu Jing. Li Yuan did not intend to share them with anyone else.
Li Yuan wanted to avoid unnecessary troubles and covetous eyes.
After taking care of all this,
Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, continuing his journey toward Outpost Base Number Three.
At this moment, in Li Yuan's heart, the farther from Flying Serpent Valley, the safer it was.
About two hours after the fierce battle between Li Yuan and Liu Jing in Flying Serpent Valley,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures moved extremely fast, each surpassing eighty meters per second, easily dodged the Flying Serpents, and arrived above the canyon of Flying Serpent Valley.
"Xue Shu, is this the 'Flying Serpent Valley' you spoke of? Where is the Seven Stars human Prime Warrior you mentioned in your transmission?" a burly man with black skin asked in a deep voice, peering down at the foggy canyon.
In the valley, the roars of the Flying Serpents could still be heard sporadically.
