The Giant Snake Leader is at least a Gold Level Lord of Magical Beasts, and its innate magic must also not be weak, allowing it to dominate the entire Wet Bone Forest.

Unfortunately, from the beginning, the entire snake group fell into Austin's calculations. First, a thunderstorm cleared all its kin and helpers around it, followed by the Beastman army's assault to completely cut off its support.

In the end, even though Rodney got into some trouble due to his rashness, he successfully attracted its hatred, allowing Austin to find the opportunity to strike and successfully break its spinal cord.

Although the Giant Snake Leader with a broken spinal cord was not dead yet, its strength had greatly diminished, and with such a large body dragging it down, there was no chance of escape.

In the subsequent battle, with Austin as the main attacker and the Beastman Transcendents as support, they finally pinned the Giant Snake Leader to the ground not far from the valley entrance.

The aftermath of the battle between the two giants left the earth in a mess, with potholes everywhere, fissures as thick as an arm spreading out, stones shattered, and blood covering the ground.

During this process, the serpent leader, in its death throes, used its venom spray talent magic at the last moment, corroding the ground ahead into a large pit over ten meters wide.

Fortunately, the close-range assisting Extraordinary Beastmen were Beastman Officers trained in the Beastman Six Techniques, who used Instantaneous Step Flash to escape in the nick of time.

However, the terrifying poison emitted by the serpent's spray even contaminated the air, causing several Beastman officers in the distance to be too late to escape, inhaling the air and collapsing from poison.

Rip!

With a claw, the head of the Giant Snake Leader was torn open, and sure enough, a black Magic Beast Crystal Core was found inside.

Among the entire valley of giant snake magic beasts, only the Giant Snake Leader's body contained a Crystal Core, which was within Austin's expectations.

"Finally managed to kill it."

After extracting the Magic Beast Crystal Core from the Giant Snake Leader's body, Austin showed no intention of swallowing it immediately.

This black giant python's poison was extremely potent, who knew if the Crystal Core, concentrated with its essence, might be even more dangerous? Even though the Dragon Race's magic resistance is strong, it's not to the extent of being immune to everything.

After thinking about it, Austin tossed the Crystal Core to the Fox-faced Man, Quik.

"Quik, take this and study it to see if it has any other uses."

The Magic Beast Crystal Core is the crystallization of a powerful magic beast's entire strength and essence. Even though the Giant Snake Leader is now dead beyond doubt, the Crystal Core still holds the pressure of a High Tier Magic Beast.

In other words, as long as someone holds that black giant python's Magic Beast Crystal Core, ordinary snake animals would automatically submit and be commanded by it.

Moreover, within the Wet Bone Forest, the environment itself is suitable for the survival of snakes. Although the giant snake tribe has been wiped out, quite a few other snakes must still be scattered around. With this Giant Snake Leader's Crystal Core, moving or producing within the Wet Bone Forest would be much easier in the future.

Furthermore, centering on this Crystal Core and finding a method, there might be a chance to develop a Beastman that can command snakes—currently, the Dragon Nest Tribe doesn't have a snake race, but that doesn't mean it can't have one in the future.

With the death of the Giant Snake Leader, there's nothing left in the entire Wet Bone Forest that makes Austin feel threatened.

Leaving the aftermath of cleaning the battlefield to Rodney and others, Austin swiftly flew to the valley entrance where the Giant Snake Leader appeared, with Quik and a few Beastman Officers following behind, and the well-informed Gory also proceeding together.

"Is this... a karst cave?"

A dragon and several Beastmen flew down from above the massive valley entrance. With the demise of the Giant Snake Leader, the gray poison gas previously permeating the Giant Snake Valley also dissipated, the dust settled, and the view cleared up.

Though called a valley, it might as well be a giant natural karst cave.

Or let's say, the ground in this area suddenly collapsed, forming a giant sinkhole.

The exit above this sinkhole is not large, but the space below is substantial, with the entire pit looking like an upside-down bowl.

On the surrounding stone walls, long stalactites hang down from the top, and the ground is covered with smooth stones. It's unclear whether the pit was always like this or if the ground was worn down by the snakes living here.

Inside the pit, there are many charred snake corpses, obviously the young snakes directly killed by Austin's thunderstorm, and snake eggs scattered in shady corners not far away.

Perhaps moving the snake eggs back to the tribe would make for a fine delicacy.

Without staying long, Austin and his group headed straight for the depths of the pit. At this massive collapsed pit, in the distance, there was a huge and deep cave entrance leading to who knows where.

Yet, just in the depths of the pit, they could feel the continuous surge of dense Water Attribute Magic Power gushing from the depths of the cave entrance, filling the entire space.

Only by being inside this huge pit in the Snake Valley could Austin feel that the whole pit seemed like a fountainhead of Water Attribute Magic Power, continuously spewing magic power into the outside world.

No wonder the snake group chose to establish their nest in such a place, likely because a massive Water Attribute Magic Power vein opened a gap in the nearby area, making the magic power density around here significantly richer than other places.

"This is..."

Not long after entering the tunnel within the cave, Austin and the Beastmen stopped, with the Beastmen staring ahead in a daze.

Only to see, on both sides of the enormous passage ahead, densely packed gray snake shedding piled up, covering a large area, making one's scalp tingle just by looking.

However, even the fox-faced man Quik also saw it, the plant similar to white grass growing in this dark and damp place, surviving between the gaps filled with snake sheddings.

"This is Snake Shedding Grass!"

Each time a snake grows, it needs to shed its skin, continually discarding the old outer layer and growing new scales.

And when these snake sheddings absorb magic power from the air, a type of white grass-like plant grows using the sheddings as raw material, called Snake Shedding Grass.

In this world of extraordinary phenomena, Snake Shedding Grass has a very potent function for treatment and regeneration.

It's also the best-healing plant among all the herbaceous plants documented in the Fox-faced Man Quik's established medical system.

Quik quickly moved to the side, took out a bronze dagger, and cut a wound in his palm, causing blood to flow immediately. Yet, he seemed indifferent, without any frown, and carefully picked a leaf from a piece of Snake Shedding Grass in front of him, mashed it into a paste, and applied it to the wound.

With the infiltration of Snake Shedding Grass juice, the newly opened wound quickly stopped bleeding.
