Chapter 132: 123 Chapter Definitely Won’t Hit People_1

The black long spear pierced the giant serpent’s exposed heart, which could secrete deadly venom on its surface, but some internal areas were devoid of the poison. The heart ruptured, gushing copious amounts of blood that were soon devoured by the black spear. The massive heart desiccated at a visibly rapid pace.

The serpent hissed violently, its body writhing painfully in its struggle. The creature had a strong Life Force; even with its heart fatally wounded, it still managed to squirm.

Not only that, but its body began to shrink rapidly, and as it did, a thick layer of its exuvia was left behind.

"Can it actually do this?" Zheng Yichen was shocked to see the serpent shedding its skin. With its heart burst and a great deal of its blood drawn by him, it could still shed its skin?

The shedding serpent transformed into a smaller snake, about ten meters in length, which compared to its previous hundred-meter-long colossal body, was now just a juvenile.

However, this made the serpent’s speed much faster, and the venom it spit out was even more potent. Unfortunately, its smaller body meant it released much less venom, and its strength was severely diminished. In a few encounters, Zheng Yichen pinned it to the ground with his spear.

The serpent’s body withered away once more, and before it could dry out completely, it shed its skin again. This time, a small snake, as thin as a chopstick, darted out. The tiny serpent launched viciously at Zheng Yichen, but as it soared through the air, its body seemed unable to withstand some kind of pressure and exploded mid-flight, splattering blood everywhere.

The surrounding mist began to disperse, but Zheng Yichen did not relax. He immediately left the battle area and only breathed a sigh of relief after dispersing the wind armor and refreshing the air all around him.

The area where the battle against the serpent took place was still covered in a high concentration of poisonous gas, which remained despite the end of the fight and the serpent’s death. It would take some time to dissipate completely.

He glanced at the gems on the long spear. The amethyst imbued with the power of lightning had turned into a transparent crystal with numerous cracks. The Wind type azure gemstone had also dimmed significantly, looking like a battery out of power. The earthy yellow gemstone was still in good condition and could be reused later.

"This serpent’s survivability is too strong," Zheng Yichen muttered, looking at the area covered with poison mist. After resting for a while, he pondered. He had burst the serpent’s heart and drained a significant amount of blood through it, yet the serpent could still forcibly stay alive by shedding its skin.

Although it sacrificed its size, being alive was all that mattered.

As before, he steered clear of the poisoned area, searched the vicinity, and then with anticipation, returned to the Dusk Cathedral.

This time, it had only taken him three days. The markers of mobile anomalies on his phone’s map had disappeared. Six anomalous points, all resolved in less than three months. Zheng Yichen felt he was even rushing time.

"Eh? Are there new people here?" Zheng Yichen asked with some puzzle as he returned to the Dusk Cathedral.

"Yes."

"Who are they?"

"It’s none of your business," Prioress Tia abruptly cut off the conversation. Zheng Yichen smiled wryly and reached out to stroke the dogs, "I’ve resolved all the mobile anomalies, so my mission’s complete, right? Is there any extra reward?"

"No," the Prioress replied indifferently. "You are a sinner after all, what reward do you expect?"

"Alright then..." Zheng Yichen knew he was hoping for too much. He looked to Prioress Tia, who showed him a small notebook. The remaining three merit points had now become six.

The serpent seemed quite valuable. Zheng Yichen began to think about preserving parts like the serpent’s gallbladder and skin after draining the blood and killing it, to see if he could make any new valuable items with the serpent materials upon his return.

However, the serpent’s skin-shedding regeneration method completely eliminated that possibility. In the end, he only managed to collect a lot of serpent exuviae, which were not very high in quality. The only remarkable thing about them was their ability to maintain their original state unaffected by the toxic mist.

"Can I go back now?"

"Yes, you can, come with me," Prioress Tia said, glancing at her sister nun and addressing Zheng Yichen.

"Goodbye." Following Prioress Tia, Zheng Yichen looked back. The sister nuns stood side by side, bidding him farewell.

The door, the room—when the door closed and reopened, Zheng Yichen immediately felt the environment change. He had no idea how this ’teleportation’ was achieved.

The whole process was imperceptible; the door closed and opened, and he was back.

The Dusk Cathedral in Hazy City was larger and more lively, bustling with people. Compared to the Dusk Cathedral in the Apocalypse World, it was the complete opposite. The Dusk Cathedral in Katrina’s world had at least some vitality. Zheng Yichen thought about it; he had left two dogs there...

That should add some liveliness to the Dusk Cathedral over there, right?

"I’m back now; I won’t be immediately dispatched somewhere else, right?" Zheng Yichen asked Prioress Tia by his side.

"Normally no, but there might be emergencies," she replied.

"I hope I don’t encounter one of those," said Zheng Yichen. He had no intention of staying long and checked the time on his phone, which could now connect to the internet and sync any potential time discrepancies upon returning to Hazy City.
