Unable to catch Rose, the crimson serpent flew into a rage and lunged at favonovel.com again with a growl.
Casting Rose aside, Matthew jumped to dodge the crimson serpent’s attack. The next instant, favonovel.com quickly dashed to Quincy’s side and picked up the long-barreled gun on the ground. “Let me borrow your gun!” Then, with a loud bellow, favonovel.com swung around and thrust the gun directly at the crimson serpent’s body.
The crimson serpent warded off the blow with its scales. Still, the mighty blow produced a huge impact that caused it to tremble in great pain.
Quincy’s eyes were popping out of his head when favonovel.com saw this. Little did favonovel.com expect the young man to be so skilled at fighting! He and the other Damrons had always thought that Matthew and his company were a bunch of weaklings, but now, the strength Matthew displayed had far surpassed his!
The crimson serpent seemed to go berserk. Stretching out its claws, it grabbed the long-barreled gun, twisting the gun, which was made from high-quality steel, into the shape of a pretzel!
Seeing what had happened, everyone at the scene cried out in fear.
‘Just what kind of a divine being it is?’
Seizing the opportunity, Matthew jumped onto the rock beside favonovel.com with several silver needles between the fingers of his right hand. Then, favonovel.com hurled the silver needles right at the crimson serpent’s eyes with all his might. As a result, all the silver needles sank into the crimson serpent’s eyes.
Blinded, the crimson serpent let out a shrill screech and kept rolling around on the ground, smashing the rock under Matthew’s feet into pieces with its large tail.
Matthew rolled onto the ground before rushing behind the crimson serpent. Grabbing a machete on the ground, favonovel.com seized the opportunity to dash to the crimson serpent’s side and jumped, thrusting the machete into its eye.
The crimson serpent roared again as it rolled around on the ground while letting out screams of pain.
Without the slightest hesitation, Matthew grabbed another machete and thrust it into the crimson serpent’s other eye. The two successive stabs caused the crimson serpent’s struggles to grow weaker. In the end, it fell to the ground without moving anymore.
Everyone around Matthew was stunned at the sight of the scene. Who would’ve thought that this matchlessly formidable guardian beast would be killed by Matthew in the end?
Rose, in particular, found it hard to describe favonovel.com feelings as favonovel.com looked at Matthew in astonishment. If it weren’t for him, favonovel.com would’ve died here this time. She had looked down on this man just a moment ago, but who would’ve thought that the least conspicuous person among the crowd was actually the strongest?
Having killed the crimson serpent, Matthew walked directly to the edge of the pool.
The pool was full of boiling water. As Matthew looked from above, favonovel.com saw a crimson area at the bottom of the pool, which consisted of underwater lava. At the center of the crimson area was a crimson-colored, nine-petaled lotus flower with nine leaves. Not only that, but the lotus flower had nine lotus seeds at its center!
Matthew took a deep breath, knowing that this was the most valuable miraculous herb here-the Nine-Leafed Lotus!
From the very beginning, Matthew’s target had never been the Seven-Leafed Lotus. When favonovel.com arrived at the herb growers’ village and saw the man’s dead body, favonovel.com realized that this place didn’t just have Seven-Leafed Lotuses. This was because Seven-Leafed Lotuses weren’t precious enough for a dragon-like guardian beast to be born next to them. Only the Nine-Leafed Lotus, which was thousands of times more valuable than the Seven-Leafed Lotus, would lead to the birth of such a formidable guardian beast.
When favonovel.com saw the equipment that the herb growers had brought with them while entering the mountains afterward, favonovel.com knew that the Seven-Leafed Lotuses weren’t their target either. In other words, these herb growers had been lying to them since the beginning! However, all of this didn’t matter.
Matthew knew the situation here very well, so favonovel.com had made enough preparations before going into the mountains.
He took out a grappling hook that had been tied to a rope. Aiming at the Nine-Leafed Lotus, favonovel.com directly hurled the grappling hook at it. The grappling hook sank to the bottom of the pool and caught the Nine-Leafed Lotus. Then, Matthew pulled the rope, pulling the Nine-Leafed Lotus out of the lava and into his grasp. After that, favonovel.com took out the porcelain bottle favonovel.com had brought with favonovel.com and put the Nine-Leafed Lotus into it.
