"Let's do it, I'll go too. Anyway, ordinary venomous snakes aren't much of a threat to us. Killing them will yield some loot, although some of it may not be very valuable, but the gains are real."

Qi Lin twirled the iron gall in his hand, making his stance clear.

The risks are minimal, but the rewards are substantial. Whatever choice you make, unless you're inherently timid, you can arrive at the right answer.

"Count me in."

Hu Youni made her choice without hesitation, pulling out the military dagger with her backhand and saying meaningfully, "Have you noticed that after using a weapon to kill a poisonous snake, the weapon seems to gain some benefits and undergo some changes? My military dagger is lighter than before, but it is sharper, as if some mysterious power has been integrated into the weapon."

On the bayonet, one can clearly see the sharp edge of the blade, and the cold glint that flashes from time to time.

"I've also noticed that my mother and child magnetic tubes have changed. They are more magnetic and heavier. Even my Qilin pipe has changed. I feel that in the process of killing enemies, mysterious substances will be incorporated into the weapons, giving them a unique kind of refinement. What were originally ordinary mortal weapons may be transformed into true divine weapons and magical artifacts."

Qi Lin said with great anticipation.

How could I not feel the changes in my own weapon? I just hadn't paid attention to them because of the battle. After learning about them later, I was naturally eager to see them change.

"Hmm, I feel that falling into the Void is an opportunity. Now that the path of cultivation has been opened, we can temper our weapons by killing enemies. No one knows if this will always exist. If it's only here, or if there's a time limit, then I think we should not only not run away, but also kill more. Maybe our weapons can be transformed through killing. If that's true, we'll have more confidence when facing danger in the future."

Ji Tianhao naturally held a more positive attitude towards this.

Nobody knows how long this situation will last; it may disappear soon. If that's the case, you'll regret it to death if you miss out.

Just do it.

None of the three were ordinary people; each was a seasoned veteran of the underworld, possessing a wealth of experience and a keen understanding of how to make choices. After a brief discussion, they all decided to continue their joint effort to hunt down the venomous snakes.

The hunter and the prey are never absolute.

Not only will you gain some unexpected benefits, but you'll also have your weapons tempered—it's an unimaginable stroke of luck. If you quit now, you'll definitely regret it later.

After the discussion.

The three of them immediately headed down.

They walked and talked.

"I remember the fifth floor of the hotel was specially reserved, with a professional gym, coffee shop, tea room, chess and card room, and leisure and entertainment floor. I think Manager Cai and his team are trapped on the fifth floor, not that they voluntarily retreated to the fifth floor. The situation may be worse than expected."

Hu Youni had made prior preparations for the hotel's layout.

The fifth floor is relatively spacious, and most of the interior is filled with entertainment facilities. If someone were trapped inside, the situation might not be very good.

"In other words, there's a possibility of snakes invading the fifth floor and above of the hotel. This time it's for real. Looks like I'll have to use some real weapons."

Qi Lin said excitedly.

The pipe he was holding was already filled with carefully prepared tobacco leaves and lit. Slow sparks flickered in the pipe, and wisps of smoke were inhaled into his body, passing through his throat and lungs. He possessed innate smoke within his body, so all the smoke he inhaled was absorbed by the smoke cloud, causing no harm to his body. On the contrary, it was a way to strengthen himself.

"The snakes can only get up through the elevators, ventilation ducts, and exhaust vents. The most direct route is via the stairs, but the elevators are out of service. If we continue like this, we can likely pinpoint the location of the snake infestation whenever we encounter them."

Ji Tianhao, carrying the Karma-Slaying Blade, ran quickly down the stairs, saying, "I'll be down the stairs in two seconds."

In less than a minute, in the time it took to speak, they had already arrived at the seventh floor.

As soon as I turned around at the top of the stairs, I immediately saw a swarm of brightly colored snakes swimming up the stairs in front of me. There were so many snakes, big and small, that they were so densely packed that someone with trypophobia would scream and faint on the spot.

Among them were not only ordinary venomous snakes, but also pythons whose size clearly reached another level. At the very front, there was one with a diameter as thick as an adult's waist and a length of seven or eight meters. When it swam, you could see a smooth sense of power, which gave people a great sense of oppression. Without a doubt, the oppressive power of this giant python was more astonishing than that of ordinary snakes. The aura it emitted would make a normal person's first reaction to run away.

"It's a giant python, not as big as the one we saw outside, but it's still very ferocious."

When Ji Tianhao saw it, he was also shocked. The difference between seeing it from a distance and seeing it up close was like night and day. The oppressive aura made even one's heart beat slower.

Its size alone shows that it shares the same bloodline as the giant python and has undergone the same mutation.

The giant python spotted them immediately when they saw the snakes.

At this moment, not only could they see with their own eyes, but the snake's special thermal sensing also locked onto the three of them.

Hiss!!

The giant python lunged at Ji Tianhao, who was at the front. As it pounced, it opened its blood-red maw, letting out a strange roar, and a stench filled the air. There was no doubt that one bite could swallow a person whole. Its speed was incredible; it reached him in less than a breath, its massive fangs clearly visible. This pounce was aimed at killing. "Kill!!"

Witnessing the fierce attack, Ji Tianhao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his heart pounded violently, and his blood surged.

His feet touched the ground firmly, and he stood atop the giant python. Seeing the python's attack trajectory, he shifted his feet and turned to the side, narrowly dodging the attack. At the same moment, the Karma-Slaying Blade slashed down towards the python's vital spot.

This strike required no fancy techniques; it was simply swift, ruthless, and precise!
Killing isn't about fancy moves. Aside from those ultimate techniques, to kill, you aim for the vital points, lock onto them precisely, strike quickly, and then unleash your power for a fatal blow. All those flashy moves are either used against equally matched opponents or are just for show.

One stab is all it takes to kill!

Click! !
The Karma-Slaying Blade is extremely sharp, made of extraordinary materials. During its previous slaying of the snake, it underwent a special refinement, increasing its sharpness by at least a third. Already sharp enough to cut tuna like tofu, it was even more so now. When the blade struck the giant python, a resilient force surged through it, seemingly trying to shatter the blade. Unfortunately, the python's hide was clearly no match for the blade's sharpness.

With a flash of light, the giant python's body was severed in two.

boom! !

The giant python's body crashed to the ground, causing the stairs to shake violently. Many venomous snakes were crushed to death on the spot, and numerous orbs of light appeared on the ground.

"Good knife."

Qi Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately uttered a word of praise.

"This is the seventh floor. You all go inside first. The space here on the stairs is limited, making it inconvenient to act. We'll put the snakes inside first and then kill them. We can't act freely here. You go first, I'll cover you."

Ji Tianhao said quickly.

The stairwell door is right next to us, leading to the seventh floor. The stairwell is too narrow for a proper fight. The best battleground is inside the building.

"it is good."

Hu Youni and the other person did not hesitate. Witnessing the scene of killing a giant python with a single slash, they gained a completely new understanding of its strength.

As soon as the two entered, Ji Tianhao instantly took the huge python corpse in front of him into his spatial storage, along with the venomous snakes that had been crushed to death. He didn't even let go of the scattered light orbs, his main goal being to take everything without wasting a single bit.

"I'm poor. Cultivation requires resources. Everything can be refined into essence by my black hole talent. I can take as much as I need."

Ji Tianhao murmured to himself. After realizing that the Black Hole talent could refine the essence of all spirits, and that the essence would become the most important resource for his own cultivation, he already knew that all the natural treasures could not be kept and would all become resources for his cultivation. The amount consumed would become more and more astonishing.

Now, when I see resources, my instinct is to take them all away.

Of course, the space should be kept as private as possible, which is one of the important reasons why Hu Youni and the others went in first while I stayed behind.

"Why does it seem like there's a discrepancy between the number of light orbs and the number of dead snakes?"

As I took the orb of light, a thought flashed through my mind unconsciously.

Previously, almost every snake could generate a ball of light. This time, the number of balls of light collected was significantly less than a third of what it used to be. Many venomous snakes, even after they died, did not generate any more balls of light. This change made him instinctively sense something was amiss.

However, there was no time to think too much at that moment.

He turned around and followed them into the seventh floor.

Upon entering, you find yourself in a long corridor.

Unlike typical hotel corridors, the corridors here are spacious and don't feel cramped at all. The overall decor is designed with practicality and luxury in mind. Stepping inside, you'll feel right at home.

"How is it going."

Qi Lin asked.

"The snakes are coming. Be prepared. The hotel's backup power is still running. If we can't even supply electricity, the problem will be serious."

There was fog outside, blocking out the light. If the power went out inside the hotel, the corridor would definitely become pitch black. Facing a swarm of snakes in the dark was not a good thing.

boom! !

A loud crash came from the stairwell as a huge snake head smashed through the stairwell door, causing it to collapse.

A giant snake, no less impressive than the one that had been slain, emerged.
