Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 47 Are you dumbfounded? I've got a cheat code!

[Sacrifice successful. Host has obtained 4 Body Tempering Pills (Unicorn Boar).]

After harvesting the vegetables, Jiang Lan beamed and prepared to return to the residential building to first consume a batch of Body Tempering Pills to improve her strength.

But just as he turned around, before he could even take a step, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the shadows of the residential building beside Jiang Lan.

The shadowy figure was incredibly fast. It was over thirty meters away from Jiang Lan, but in almost an instant, it had already darted in front of her.

However, Jiang Lan's Swift Shadow state was still maintained, and with the amplification from so many Body Tempering Pills, his reaction speed was extremely fast.

Before the shadowy figure could even get close, Jiang Lan's halberd struck first, and with a powerful swing, the side of the halberd blade slammed into the shadowy figure at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive.

"Bang!"

The dark figure was struck hard and tumbled to the ground to the side.

Only then was Jiang Lan able to see the full shape of the dark figure.

That was a snake… no, if we're going to be precise, it was a giant python.

The giant python was over twenty meters long and as thick as a bucket. Black stripes covered its body, becoming thicker closer to its head.

At the very front of the giant python, two triangular heads were clearly split off, and each of those heads had a slightly raised little fleshy bump on top.

Jiang Lan's eyes flashed.

Two-headed black-striped snake!

Unexpectedly, he encountered this kind of guy on the outskirts.

Judging from its size, this two-headed black-lined snake has probably reached the peak of a high-level beast general. It only needs one opportunity to transform into a dragon and officially step into the threshold of the lord level.

He didn't notice that there was such a dangerous guy nearby when he was looking through the binoculars.

They must have been lurking in the shadows to avoid Jiang Lan's detection.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. This thing is highly poisonous. Even if he were a war god, he wouldn't fare well if he were bitten. In severe cases, he might even die.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and Jiang Lan wasn't bitten.

"You young snake, you lack martial ethics, ambushing an eighteen-year-old man like me, huh?"

Seeing the two-headed black snake that had been slapped in the face, Jiang Lan raised his battle halberd high.

"laugh!"

The snake's body was instantly split in two, and bright red blood slowly flowed from the cut.

As expected of a high-level beast general, this two-headed black-lined snake possessed extremely vigorous vitality. Even after being cut in half, it did not die immediately. Instead, it twisted and struggled wildly on the ground, its two heads constantly emitting mournful hissing cries.

However, the black-striped snake is not a sand worm, nor does it have the absurd regenerative ability of the giant sand worm from the previous sand pit.

If half of a body is broken, even a god couldn't save it.

With its tenacious will to live, the two-headed black-striped snake struggled for nearly a minute.

With a violent convulsion, the snake stopped struggling completely and lay motionless, as if it were dead.

Jiang Lan was about to step forward when she suddenly stopped.

He sensed something was amiss.

Normally, if the beast were to actually die, the system would ask him if he had made a sacrifice.

But this time, he did not receive any system notification.

Having witnessed so much slaughter, Jiang Lan roughly knew that as long as someone was within ten meters of a monster's corpse, a warning would be triggered.

But right now, the distance between him and the black-striped snake is only about five or six meters.

That leaves only one explanation.

That son of a bitch isn't quite dead yet! I'm thinking of pulling a fast one on him!

Jiang Lan smirked, raised his halberd, and hurled it like a javelin.

At the point where the two snake heads meet in the center of the halberd, the blade passes through the thick snake body and the tip of the halberd is deeply embedded in the asphalt road.

"hiss--!"

The previously quiet black-striped snake suddenly let out a chilling hiss, and then its presence vanished completely.

[Sacrificeable item detected: Two-headed black-striped snake (corpse). Do you wish to sacrifice it?]

Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Lan grinned and gave the snake corpse the middle finger.

Are you stupid?

I've got a cheat code!

Reaching the snake corpse, Jiang Lan exerted a little force and pulled out the battle halberd.

The ancients were right: an inch longer, an inch stronger. This halberd is indeed more useful than knives or swords.

It can chop, stab, and even swing and slap.

Jiang Lan rubbed his hands together excitedly as he put the halberd back into his system inventory.

He's a high-level beast general, after all; he can't possibly only have one Body Tempering Pill, can he?

Sacrifice!

[Sacrifice successful. Host has obtained 1 Body Tempering Pill (Two-Headed Black-Lined Serpent).]

?

and then?

It's gone?

Jiang Lan was somewhat disappointed.

However, this disappointment did not last long, and he quickly regained his composure.

Consider it a way to accumulate good karma.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Lan walked to the residential building where she had come down earlier.

He raised his head, planned his route briefly, bent his legs slightly, and leaped onto the balcony of a tenth-floor apartment as if he were on a spring.

After jumping twice more, Jiang Lan reached the thirtieth floor.

Standing on the 30th-floor balcony, he took out his binoculars again and looked around.

At first glance, there were almost no monsters moving around in the small area nearby.

After checking the situation, Jiang Lan went into the house through the balcony.

This room is about 100 square meters. It is clear that the owner of this house must have put a lot of effort into the renovation before the Great Nirvana period.

However, with the outbreak of the RR virus, people were evacuated to various base cities, and this house has obviously been unoccupied for a long time.

The parts of the living room that come into contact with the air are covered with a thick layer of dust.

The wedding photo behind the sofa has become almost unrecognizable due to the passage of time.

Jiang Lan walked to the sofa, flipped the cushion over, and then sat down on it.

He opened his system inventory, too lazy to count how many Body Tempering Pills were inside, and with a thought, he stuffed them all into his mouth.

The Body Tempering Pill melted instantly upon entering Jiang Lan's mouth, transforming into streams of warm energy that converged towards his dantian.

After the warm current completely disappeared, he closed his eyes and felt the surging power within his body.

Because two of the Body Tempering Pills in this batch were obtained through the sacrifice of high-level beast generals, their quality is much higher than the last batch.

After a rough estimate, Jiang Lan felt that his strength had increased by at least 20,000 kilograms, approaching 30,000 kilograms.

Adding to the previous seven or eight thousand, his punching power should now be around 210,000 kilograms.

The standard for the punching power of a high-level War God is 256,000 kilograms.

In other words, if he were to have another wave of power, his strength would likely break through to the level of a high-level war god.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan immediately felt energized, all her fatigue vanished, and she stood up from the sofa and returned to the balcony.

continue!

Let's get started!

I play for real!
