After gritting his teeth, he finally made a decision that stabbed at his heart.
Fuck, alright system, you win... how much is a Tier 2 all-purpose antidote pill?
[RESPONDING TO HOST: A TIER 2 ALL-PURPOSE ANTIDOTE PILL COSTS 10,000 SCUM POINTS.]
"FUCK! TEN THOUSAND?! TEN THOUSAND SCUM POINTS! YOU MIGHT AS WELL ROB ME, SYSTEM! THIS IS A SCAM! THIS IS A DAMN SCAM!"
Huang Shi just about pulled his hair out as he stared at his remaining Scum Points, feeling the pain that his stockpile would be reduced just because of his overconfidence.
[SCUM POINTS: 54,000]
54,000 Scum Points... this is the most points I've accumulated ever since I was reincarnated. This is all due to my interactions with Xinyue and her mother.
Who knows when I'll be able to get this many Scum Points again in such a short period of time?
Huang Shi felt like tears were about to drop from his eyes as they burned with hatred. Clearly, all of this would not have happened if that damn snake had not poisoned him.
Shit... alright, forget the True Profound Realm spiritual beast. I have to fucking kill that damn snake. If I don't kill that thing then my anger will never be pacified!
With his eyes shining with newfound resolve, he instantly endured the heart-clenching pain of his Scum Points suddenly reducing by a large amount as a milky-white pill appeared in the center of his palm
[SCUM POINTS: 44,000].
The pill glowed with a shiny light that seemed to be able to cleanse all manner of poison and disease. Just from having it in his hand, he felt the poison in his wound recoil as if in fear.
Seeing that the effect was so potent, he finally started to feel like his expense was worth it, and he gave a slight smile.
At least this thing is actually useful.
Without any hesitation, he raised his palm and swallowed the pill, closing his mouth as it moved through his throat and into his body.
WHOOSH!
Instantly, a powerful milky-white light spread out from his body for a few seconds before moving across his chest and settling on the poisoned wound on his ribs, which still ached with pain.
All of a sudden, the emerald-green poison started to sizzle as if it were being cleansed.
For some reason, he felt like he heard a scream resound inside his ears as the poison tried to fight back against the power of the pill, before eventually being wiped out of existence as the venom and any traces of it in his body disappeared.
After this, he instantly swallowed a few healing pills that he had already prepared beforehand. The wounds on his body healed little by little, his broken bones mending themselves as flashes of crimson helped in the healing process.
I'll probably be able to completely recover from my injuries after another three days. After that, I'll go back to the territory of that damn snake and fucking take its pitiful life.
Huang Shi's eyes burned with fire as crimson lightning danced through his fingertips, signaling his agitation. He then closed his eyes, starting the lengthy process of recovery without the help of Xinyue's silvery-white spiritual energy.
Fuck, I miss that girl...
As Huang Shi completely immersed himself in his recovery, hidden from the outside world in his own little cavern, what he didn't know was that on the other side of the neutral territory of the Greenwood Forest—near the border of the Crimson Sand Sect—a woman was currently walking through the inner forest.
Her crimson hair, the deep and rich color of blood, shone like bloodstones in the early morning sun, while her blood-red eyes gleamed with a cold killing intent.
She wore red robes with dark black outlines that depicted demons made of sand and stone, contrasting with her pale, glossy face, which looked as delicate as a porcelain doll.
Her body, on the other hand, was anything but fragile; she possessed voluptuous curves in all the right places and an ample bosom that seemed to spill out of her robes.
Yet, her most charming and attractive aspect was her thick thighs—so smooth and yet so powerful that they seemed sculpted by the gods. They looked as though one could lie upon them for a nap, albeit a nap that would cause one to sleep for all eternity.
Overall she was an outstanding beauty that just barely lost out to Xinyue but was on the same level as Li Mei
The ape she was facing on the other hand was around fifteen meters tall, looking like a giant, as its amber eyes shone with ferocity. Its fists, unlike the rest of its body, were actually white in color, creating a stark contrast that made it look as if it were wearing boxing gloves.
This description was actually pretty close to the truth; the white covering its fists was actually a type of bone armor that acted like boxing gloves, shining with a powerful spiritual energy pressure.
In fact, if a skilled artisan took hold of these, they could definitely turn them into a powerful True Profound Realm weapon.
This massive black ape with white, bone-like fists was actually one of the True Profound beasts roaming the inner forest. Its name was the Golden-Eyed Obsidian Ape, and it was a powerful spiritual beast at the 1st level of the True Profound Realm.
ROAR!!
As the Golden-Eyed Obsidian Ape roared, trying its best to intimidate its opponent, the crimson-haired woman merely shook her head. Her grip on her spear tightened as she raised it and pointed it straight at the ape.
"Let us have a good fight."
BOOM!
A massive spiritual energy pressure suddenly erupted from her body as swirling crimson sand appeared all around her, like a shield trying to protect her from harm. She instantly dashed forward, disappearing from her position.
