The gale shot swiftly, with a sharp whistling through the air.
Chen Nan suddenly opened his eyes, turned around like lightning, and grabbed the incoming gust with one swift motion.
Upon a closer look, he discovered that his assailant was a small, emerald-green snake, only as thick as a thumb, now held tightly at its vital spot.
"So it was just a snake."
Chen Nan smiled faintly, took out his broken sword, cut off the snake's head, and then slit open its belly to extract the snake gallbladder before tossing the snake's body aside.
This was merely a first-layer Foundation Establishment Stage snake, with little value, except for its gall which might fetch a few spirit stones.
Nonetheless, the promising start made Chen Nan very happy inside.
"It seems this area is inhabited by Foundation Establishment Realm demon beasts, too weak for me. I need to venture deeper."
