Zynx immediately toggles off his killing aura.
Although Zynx had evolved, there was no change in his attributes. But if he was to use his new skill, then he could at most defeat one of them. So, he didn't want to provoke them.
…
When wizard heard Hank, he said.
"All monsters become bold after evolving, just show him his place but don't kill him."
Even after receiving his killing intent, Zynx saw Hank approaching him. He thought, 'If you dare to touch me even after this, then I will kill you.'
After nearing, Hank bashed him with a shield. Zynx didn't dare to fight back because even if he beat Hank, there was other.
Hank was attacking him with a shield instead of a sword, so damage done by him was healed instantly.
But with each attack, Zynx hatred to human increased. Anyone could clearly see it, as he was hissing at Hank.
…
'Huh'
Zynx became confused, 'I should have withdrawn and attack later. What am I doing?'
'Ahh! It must be that 10% memory of former White Snake.'
'Mia, will former White snake replace me when I obtain 100% of its memory?'
If it was true, then he didn't want it.
[No, you will only get a portion of its memory at a time, so you are capable of controlling it. At most, it will make little change in your personality.]
If he could remain as he is, then there is no worry.
…
Since Zynx understood his state, he backed off with fear on his face.
Seeing Zynx backing off, Hank stopped his hand as he also didn't desire to kill him.
"Collect his poison."
Hank approached Zynx to collect poison and after that, he checked its quality. He then became excited at the result.
"Young master, after evolving it can even affect earth realm. Seems like we are getting rich."
The price of poison that could affect earth realm was 10 times compared to before, that meant 10 silver coin per 10 ml.
Wizard also became overjoyed, now the only thing left to do was to take this snake outside death canyon, then he could obtain huge wealth.
But the only way for them to reach the top of the mountain was through teleporting and it required token.
If wizard wanted to take Zynx, then he had to leave one of them behind, so he looked at father and son duo, the old man was cleaning the wound of his son while his son was lying beneath the dead tree.
Wizard was planning to kill them after spotting that monster but before that, he wanted to have some fun.
When they saw wizard looking at them, they stop what they were doing and stared at the wizard with a nervous look.
"It doesn't matter who gives me, but I want to exchange token with a single portion of antidote."
They could only get antidote after determining that monster but the wizard gave them another chance. The old man was trying to say something, but before he could utter a single word, he felt pain on his chest.
When he looked down, he could see dagger had pierced his chest and the one holding it, was his son. The old man then died with confusion on his face.
Not only the old man, no one had foreseen this to happen.
Wizard didn't care about their life but became curious, so he asked.
"Why did you kill your own father? I have only asked for a single token, not a life."
"Because I know, my father will surely give another token and antidote to me then he had to suffer through poison." Young boy replied.
Wizard sneered and said, "But I will have given you antidote after ascertaining that monster."
"Even after that, he had to live alone between monsters in this environment."
'Then, can't you accompany him?'
Wizard knew it was just his way of defending himself and there must be another reason. Otherwise, why would someone kill his caring father?
But he didn't care. He took out token from old man pocket and gave the antidote to the young man. After that, he retreated to study information parchment.
…
Zynx understood that token was for him and even if he could not obtain it right now, he would have killed at least one of them to obtain it.
But looking at what was transpiring in front of him, he was very happy as he had obtained 30% experience from the old man. And about the reason of his death, he didn't care.
Zynx then saw a young boy was looking at him with killing intent.
'What? You are thinking that I am the reason, for your father death?'
Zynx understood as long as he could provide benefit to them, the wizard would not let anybody to harm him, so he hissed back at the young boy, angering him even more.
Even though young boy really hated Zynx and stared at him with hatred, he could not do it all the time.
So when no one was looking, Zynx changed the poison into vapor by using new skill 'Poison altering' and released it to the surrounding through silver line between his scales instead of his fangs. His poison was colorless, so nobody could see it clearly in this dark environment.
Zynx knew, for them, he was just a 'money-making machine', but he didn't care about that as he could also obtain benefit from them but, since they dare to humiliate him then they had to die.
From their conversation, he knew his poison was capable of affecting earth realm but there was more than just one earth realm, so he decided to increase the amount of poison in their body, little by little at a time and when they became weak, he would strike them.
…
After a day, Zynx heard wizard laughing.
"Ha Ha Ha, I finally understood about this bone penetrating ant."
Hank then followed up, "Young master, you are genius. You have comprehended first part within 6 days."
Archer also became happy and asked, "Young master, What do you comprehend?"
" The Highest attribute of bone penetrating ant is intelligence, with 3 points on it." Wizard answered as if he had done something great.
When others heard this, all of them including a young boy was looking at wizard with admiring gaze.
But besides them, Zynx was looking at all of them with a dumbfounded expression.
'You have wasted 6 days and only obtained this much?'
