In the eyes of the Chameleon Land Snakes, Jiang Kai and his companions were prey.

But to Jiang Kai and his friends, these land snakes were just experience points!

[Defeated Chameleon Land Snake, gained 1 experience point]

[Obtained item "Chameleon Land Snake's Corpse" (can be dissected)]

[Defeated Chameleon Land Snake, gained 1 experience point]

[Defeated Chameleon Land Snake, gained 1 experience point]

...

Zhu and Su Nuannuan held the snakes' bodies, leaving the killing to Jiang Kai.

In just a short moment, Jiang Kai gained 13 experience points, bringing his total to 21!

"Haha, Kai, raiding snake nests is the best! It's easy and gives lots of experience!" Zhu exclaimed excitedly. Gaining over ten experience points in such a short time was a huge harvest compared to the mere two points from a Long-Necked Human-Faced Beast.

Jiang Kai smiled slightly, "It's all thanks to Nuannuan's anti-venom potion; otherwise, who would dare raid a snake nest?"

Su Nuannuan didn't pay much attention to Jiang Kai's compliment. Instead, she stretched out her hand to Jiang Kai, "Give me all the rewards."

Jiang Kai was a bit surprised. Su Nuannuan wanted a share of the rewards? And all of it?

Without asking further, Jiang Kai handed all the cards he held to Su Nuannuan.

After checking them, Su Nuannuan returned three Long-Necked Human-Faced Beast corpse cards and two dissected land snake cards to Ding Xiao, "I don't need these."

Then she materialized all 13 land snake corpse cards.

She squatted down, holding the jaw of a land snake, and pried its mouth open.

"Look here, this is where the land snake stores its venom. Carefully extract it, and be cautious not to prick your skin with the fangs or break the venom sac, wasting the venom."

Jiang Kai and Zhu watched Su Nuannuan's demonstration with curiosity.

"You want us to help process them?" Jiang Kai realized.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

"Of course, once I teach you, the three of us will be much more efficient in the future. Why are you still standing there? Get to work!"

Zhu frowned, "We only need a few portions of anti-venom potion. Why extract venom from each one?"

Su Nuannuan looked up at Zhu, a glint of mystery in her eyes, "I'll tell you later. It's good news, trust me. For now, help me extract the venom!"

Jiang Kai and Zhu exchanged glances, unsure of what Su Nuannuan was up to, but they had no choice but to follow her instructions.

Before long, they had extracted venom from 13 land snakes, collecting it all in the glass bottles Su Nuannuan provided.

The land snakes were small, with about 2 milliliters of venom in each sac, totaling around 25 milliliters.

While the two were busy, Su Nuannuan started a small fire nearby.

She placed the medicine bottle over the fire, sealing the bottle with snake skin. When the venom reduced to about one-fifth of its original volume, she removed the bottle.

"Done! Jiang Kai, bring your steel sting over."

Jiang Kai handed over the steel sting, and Su Nuannuan dripped venom on one end, spreading it evenly with snake skin before returning the venomous sting to Jiang Kai, "Poisoning complete!"

Jiang Kai and Zhu's eyes widened.

Now, without Su Nuannuan's explanation, they understood what the good news was.

Su Nuannuan had used the snake venom to make poison!

"You know how to use poison?"

Su Nuannuan looked at them proudly, "Isn't it normal for a Barefoot Doctor to know how to use poison? Besides, I'm just using what's available; it's not really a skill."

"It's more of a knowledge, really."

"Chameleon Land Snake venom is potent. With enough time, it can take down large beasts. But the problem is, large beasts have very strong bodies."

"Data analysis shows that a medium-sized Black Panther can withstand the venom for over five minutes, but it's hard for us to last five minutes against a Black Panther."

"In this case, the snake venom must be concentrated. With five times concentration, as long as it pierces the Black Panther's skin and the venom enters the bloodstream, it can only last ten to fifteen seconds!"

Zhu looked at Su Nuannuan in shock, "How come we didn't know this kind of knowledge... Did your Data Watch tell you this?"

Hearing this question, Su Nuannuan felt a bit embarrassed. She lowered her head and mumbled, "N-not really, well, data analysis can't be wrong. Just trust me."

Jiang Kai frowned. The data analysis Su Nuannuan mentioned was precise, requiring the snake venom to be concentrated to one-fifth and the Black Panther's endurance time to be precise to within five seconds.

This data wasn't available online, nor could it be!

Who would study the effect of Chameleon Land Snake venom on a Black Panther?

He had a feeling that Su Nuannuan's real-world identity was definitely not simple!

Before his companions could ask more questions, Su Nuannuan hurriedly said, "Alright, let's go find another snake nest. Leveling up is the most important thing!"

With the venomous sting crafted by Su Nuannuan in hand, the three of them felt much safer.

Having gained experience from their first snake nest raid, the three of them followed the same method, specifically targeting the Chameleon Land Snakes.

Two hours later, they found a second snake nest and defeated 14 land snakes.

In the afternoon, they raided a third snake nest, defeating 16 land snakes.

By evening, they took down a large snake nest, defeating 19 land snakes.

Raiding snake nests had another advantage. Due to the aggressive nature of the land snakes, there were few other beasts nearby, making it relatively safer to rest near the snake nests.

At night, with limited visibility and nocturnal animals out, the three of them set up camp under the cliff where the largest snake nest was located.

Su Nuannuan made some more snake venom, storing it in small bottles for future use.

Jiang Kai checked his experience status.

[70/100]

Zhu leaned over to take a look and slapped Jiang Kai's back hard, "Only 30 more to go!"

Su Nuannuan perked up, joining them to look at Jiang Kai's watch, "Really, just 30 more! We should be able to level up tomorrow."

Jiang Kai smiled slightly. It wasn't time to celebrate yet.

"Don't get complacent. Even if it's just 1 point short, we're still at level one."

Zhu said, "Jiang Kai, your initial guess was really spot on. People say that in the trial, the chances of encountering beasts increase as time goes on, but ever since we turned back, we haven't encountered any large beasts today."

Su Nuannuan shook her head, "There may be fewer beasts, but don't forget there are other 'people' in the trial area! We can't let our guard down for a moment!"

Su Nuannuan's words reminded Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu.

The instructor had mentioned that "stowaways" from neighboring countries could enter China's Beginner's Trial area!

They were even more dangerous opponents than the beasts!

...

The next morning, Jiang Kai's team accelerated their hunting pace, destroying two snake nests before noon.

When Jiang Kai defeated the last Chameleon Land Snake in the second snake nest, the familiar female system voice finally sounded.

[Congratulations, you have leveled up to level two!]
