Chapter 7: The Red Python Fruit And Surge of Power

As Alex Slayer approached the red python fruit, a refreshing fragrance wafted to his nose.

Without hesitation, he picked it, took a bite, and it melted in his mouth, sweet and delicious.

It tastes good!

In a few mouthfuls, he finished the entire spirit fruit. Soon, the spirit fruit entered his stomach and turned into a warm current that flowed through his body, causing him to heat up.

His physique rapidly strengthened. After a while, the energy fully integrated into his body.

[After eating the red python fruit, you gain 8 points of physical attributes.]

[After eating the red python fruit, your anti-poison ability increases by 100%.]

Wow! I actually improved my physique by 8 points! Also increased my anti-toxic ability! This red python fruit is too powerful!

Alex was surprised. He wondered if the spirit grass still had any use.

He looked at the Red Python Grass. After the spiritual fruit was picked, the red python grass withered, and the seven fan-shaped green leaves curled slightly.

Activating the Eye of True Sight again, he saw:

[Name]: Red Python Grass

[Introduction]: This spirit grass grows one leaf per year, seven leaves in seven years, and produces a red spirit fruit every seven years, called red python fruit.

[Characteristics]: After the red python fruit is picked, the grass will wither and die within a few days, having no cultivation value.

What! This kind of spirit grass only grows one fruit in its lifetime, and after picking it, it dies. Then this red python fruit cannot be cultivated artificially.

Strange! How did the red python fruit appear in the first place?

It must have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and was born from it. This makes the fruit extremely rare.

Alex's eyes lit up as he figured something out. Since this spirit grass is born by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it might still have the essence before it completely withers and dies.

With this thought, he reached out and stroked the spirit grass. After a while, his palm lit up with white light. The spirit grass quickly withered at a visible speed, shriveling into black withered grass in just a few seconds, then died completely.

Alex flipped his palm, revealing a small ball of emerald green spiritual liquid exuding a faint fragrance.

[Endless extraction success! You have extracted spirit grass essence from red python grass!]

[Spiritual Grass Essence: This essence absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and after consumption, it can improve physique by one point.]

"Hey! It really works!" Alex was delighted, opened his mouth, and swallowed the essence of the spirit grass in his palm.

The essence entered his mouth with a grassy fragrance. After a while, the essence transformed into silk energy and melted into his body, feeling extremely refreshing.

[After eating the essence of spirit grass, you gain 2 points of physical attributes.]

[Congratulations on your combat strength assessment reaching the 2-star limit.]

What! My combat power has reached the limit of 2 stars!

Alex couldn't wait to open the property panel.

[Name]: Alex Slayer

[Level]: Level 1 (70/100)

[Strength]: 20 (Power enhancement, D level)

[Agility]: 21 (Speed enhancement, E level)

[Physique]: 28 (Anti-poison +100%, no talent yet)

[Energy]: 32 (Enhanced vision, E grade; Enhanced sense of smell, F grade)

[Innate talent]: Endless extraction (SSS level)

[Skill]: Eye of True Sight

[Combat evaluation]: 2-star limit

After reading the data, Alex was overjoyed. He noticed that his attribute panel had undergone some changes.

Everyone's talents are divided into several major types: strength, agility, physique, and energy. Others, like his endless extraction, belong to a special category.

Currently, he has three of the four basic types of innate abilities but lacks any physical abilities. However, he has an additional anti-poison +100% on his physique, something other people don't have.

What delighted him even more was that his combat power assessment had reached the 2-star limit, bringing him close to 3 stars. With his various talents and abilities, his strength could definitely reach 4 stars or even the limit of 4 stars.

Now, he felt confident enough to take on three or four level 1 beasts.

"Not bad! This harvest is very good! After finding another dead body of a highly poisonous nine-ringed snake, I can leave the Novice Plains and look for a new beast."

Alex murmured, raised his steel knife, and was about to leave when he noticed some messy footprints not far away.

He quickly walked over and found, in addition to footprints, traces of a giant snake sliding, which had flattened the bushes along the way.

With this in mind, he followed the traces.

After a quarter of an hour, he arrived near a depression where he could hear sounds of fighting in the distance.

Moving quietly, Alex sneaked in the direction of the fight under the cover of the bushes. Soon, he was near the fight scene and stopped.

Lying in the bushes, he peered through the gaps.

A look of joy appeared on his face. Seven humans were besieging a highly poisonous nine-ringed snake.

He had found another snake corpse to extract.
