Although a savage creature, a Venomous Snake had a fragile body and could easily be sliced by a normal machete if stabbed in a vulnerable spot.
However, the speed of a Venomous snake was fast that ordinary people couldn't keep up with it. And its teeth contains intense venom that could kill a mutated creature. Once nicked, a person would be crippled, if not killed. So few humans would go near Hundred-snake Hill
For Lucifer, however, the venemous snakes was the best option. It was in the end only a savage creature, and there was no way it could pierce through his flesh if even a level-3 claw fail to piece through his skin.
If he couldn't be hurt by the venom of the snakes, they would become vulnerable and surely he could kill them.
The most important thing was that without their teeth, they could no longer fight back but could still live.
This way, Lucifer could easily choose to take it back, keep it in his room, and use the shriveled finger to make it evolve into a Mutated creature before he sold its flesh.
Of course, if he were able kill a few venemous snake and got lucky, he might even gain one with catalysts within.
The catalyst of a venemous snake would increase the body's resistance towards poison. Unless the poison could kill a transcendant, he wouldn't die from it.
Because of the danger of hunting venemous snakes, few would go to Hundred snakes pit, and even fewer had obtained flesh of venemous snakes.
The flesh was thus rare, he would even be able to sell the flesh for a higher price.
The entrance of the pit was a dark, cold and chilly cave. It's ground weren't straight but steep instead, like a downward flight of stairs, falling sharply; almost perpendicular.
Lucifer did not dare to go too deep, Taking a deep breath, he sneaked towards Hundred-snake Hills.
Lucifer did not dare to go too fast. The cave was covered with wild grasses as tall as a man which grew fewer and fewer as he progress.
A few tens of meters in, the cave started getting darker and darker until it was difficult to spot any venemous snake that might be hiding there. But lucifer discovered to his shock that his shock that his sight wasn't reduced even with the low lighting of the cave.
Although it wasn't true dark vision, as it he couldn't see further than ten enters, it was still shocking. Just as lucifer was reveling in his shock, he spotted a shiny glint from afar within a small patch of grass.
When he moves closer and looked closely he saw that it was actually a venemous snake.
Its pair of slits eyes were the one reflecting light, as it's tiny body coiled around itself. Dark green metallic sheen covered its fragile body as it raised its head slowly as though in curiosity.
When he was about six five meters away from the venomous snake, he suddenly dashed with explosive speed, slashing his large blade at the snake head in a fast but ruthless strike.
WHOOSH!
But Lucifer had still underestimated the speed and responsiveness of the snake. It had noticed his presence the moment he came close out. All of a sudden, it dashed towards lucifer with astonishing speed, evading his blade strike while at the same time giving a huge bite at a soft spot above his ankle.
Lucifer subconsciously stepped back in shock, yet the venomous snake still bit at his leg, while coiling around his calf, injecting venom into his skin.
With a sound of metal clashing, lucifer felt only slight discomfort and then a slight stinging feeling , as though were a blunt object was trying to break through his skin. But there was not even a scratch on his flesh.
Sweat dropped down Lucifer's body. His eyes were wide open in fear and slight horror.
He had the advantage in speed, sight and strength. Yet, he has still underestimated his opponent, by not utilizing his full strength letting his opponent take the chance to a fatal strike.
What if he didn't gain the golden cell ability, wouldn't he have die here and now, becoming food to increase the evolution of the beast? All his ability would turn into catalyst to strength the snake and his evolution points too
Filled with solemnness, lucifer seized the opportunity to cut into the head of the Venomous snake in front of him with a fierce stab. The snake body was cut into two halves. One dropped to the ground, writhing while the head was still biting fervently against his armored skin. Red blood splash all over, wetting him and the ground.
Lucifer didn't care at all and grabbed the body of the snake, throwing it in a sack he had prepared earlier.
Be has learnt a valuable lesson from this first encounter. After which he suddenly gained massive boost in courage. He headed deeper into Hundred-Snakes Put.
Without minding his the noise he made, his foot steps alerted several venomous snakes to attack, but they couldn't hurt him at all by piercing his armored flesh. Lucifer didn't waste time.
His blade danced in the air as he severed several venomous snake head in one fell swoop. But they kept coming at him from the depth of the pit.
Lucifer struck with an horizontal strike and then comboed it with a vertical strike. He repeated each strike until he got a good grasp at twisting his wrist to manipulate the flow of the machete.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Horizontal strike, vertical strikes, and slant strikes rained down on the snakes like a storm. Every single attack struck at the various vital points of each snake, and was extremely powerful!
At first, Lucifer's blade strike were forceful and crude, containing just power and no flexibility. But gradually, he started using his insane agility together with the blade strikes.
His previously visible attacks gained speed then turned to series of rapid flash that moved within the cave, releasing only glints as it severed the heads of multiple snakes.
