In the afternoon, after replenishing their spiritual energy and taking a short rest, Han Ning and Xue Bing returned to the west side of Biyun Resort to continue hunting the Black Serpent Monster.
They are very cunning; they kill a batch and then move on to another place without ever stopping.
Snowcake uses earth elemental manipulation to create mud traps to control small groups of snakes.
Sometimes, earthen walls would be erected to divide the battlefield.
Han Ning was responsible for killing the monsters.
The human and the lizard worked together very efficiently.
Druid growth progress +9
Druid growth progress +13
Druid growth progress +15
The growth rate is steadily improving.
Han Ning could sense that since breaking through to level 6, the energy he gained from killing these ordinary black snake monsters had indeed decreased significantly.
Each one only contributes about 2-3 points to the growth progress.
However, their sheer numbers and extremely high killing efficiency made them formidable.
Even so, after a non-stop afternoon of fighting across several areas and killing hundreds of black snake monsters, the energy accumulated was still considerable.
The Druid's growth progress increased by a little over a thousand points, reaching Lv6 (1023/3000).
The experience decay of the snow cake was not as high as his, and it leveled up directly.
However, Xuebing did not awaken any new skills when she leveled up from Lv5 to Lv6, unlike him.
[Current Lv6 (1/2500)]
Instead, it became stronger.
……
late at night.
Outside the Biyun Resort, in the temporary mooring area, more than a dozen boats of varying sizes floated quietly in the deep water, gently rocking with the ripples.
The shadowy boats loomed like lurking beasts in the rain.
Only a few ships had faint lights on, while most were shrouded in darkness.
Several blurry figures silently emerged from beneath the water in the distance.
The leader cautiously scanned the surroundings.
After confirming that no patrolling Awakened Ones were approaching, he took out a cylindrical container about the size of a thumb from his personal waterproof bag.
The container was filled with a viscous liquid, about two-thirds full, and was dark red to almost black in color.
He unscrewed the sealing cap at the top.
In an instant, an extremely strong smell of blood spread out, but it was contained within a small area by an invisible force to prevent the smell from spreading further.
He quickly poured out a few drops of royal blood from the container and dripped them into several smaller glass vials.
"Split up. This blood smells very strong. Just swab a little bit off each ship." The man lowered his voice.
"Apply it near the waterline of the hull, or in the gaps of the hull side and deck, as inconspicuously as possible, to ensure that the scent can be released for a long time. Do it quickly and do not leave any traces."
"Understood!" the others replied in hushed tones, each taking a small bottle.
The group quickly dispersed, each selecting a target boat and silently swimming towards it.

There will be two or three more chapters at midnight, you can read them tomorrow.
Chapter 98 Sneaky
Large raindrops pattered against the water in the ship docking area, splashing up tiny droplets.
A dark shadow silently swam to the vicinity of the "Wind Chaser" sailboat and cautiously surfaced.
He wiped the rain off his face, furtively looked around, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small glass bottle.
Almost simultaneously, not far behind him, a hideous head emerged from the water with a splash.
Snowcake stared silently at the person, then opened its mouth.
The three colors of light converge.
The man seemed to sense something and turned around to look.
A monster resembling a crocodile lizard, but much larger than a normal crocodile lizard, appeared there at some unknown time.
Its breath was swirling with a power that sent shivers down his spine.
"hiss……"
His pupils constricted, his heart nearly stopped beating, and he was completely unaware of when the ferocious beast had approached.
The shadowy figure instinctively tried to dive into the water to escape, but the tricolored scales on the white lizard's forehead flashed.
An invisible wave struck his mind like a hammer blow.
hum~
The shadowy figure felt dizzy, saw stars before his eyes, and his mind went completely blank.
puff.
The next instant, a beam of three-colored light, condensed to the point of being tangible, shot out from the snow cake's mouth and pierced through the shadowy figure's brow.
Snowcake's vertical pupils swept over the sunken corpse, a low gurgling sound emanating from its throat, before its body silently disappeared into the water, as if it had never existed.
……
Inside the Biyun Resort, in a relatively quiet suite.
Han Ning, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes.
Through the soul link, he clearly perceived Xuebing's plight.
"Another unfamiliar Awakened One is approaching the ship. Could they be Lei Gang's accomplices?"
"What else is he holding?"
Han Ning thought about notifying the others, but what if they ran away after he did?
time does not wait.
He sprang out of bed and first ordered Xuebing,
"Snowcake, take that thing with you, then search all the ships, find the infiltrator, don't kill them all, leave one alive."
Then, shirtless and wearing only shorts, he opened the door to the balcony, jumped onto the railing, and leaped into the rainy night.
...
Han Ning moved like Spider-Man, his vines lashing out to hook onto the ruins of buildings, weaving through the rubble. In just a dozen leaps, he reached the vicinity of the temporary parking area.
Instead of rushing into the mooring area, he climbed like a night owl to the top of a section of concrete building ruins that was half-submerged in the water.
Standing on high ground, golden light shimmered in my eyes, ignoring the darkness of night and piercing through the dense rain curtain, looking down below.
With the effects of water mist and raindrops largely eliminated, the water surface, the outlines of the boats, and even the underwater scenery several tens of centimeters below the surface of the entire mooring area became clearly visible.
His sharp eyes swept over every ship, not missing a single unusual movement.
Snowcake darted swiftly underwater, following its master's instructions to inspect each of the moored boats.
Gradually, Han Ning realized something was wrong.
Near the few ships a little distance from where Xuebing had just killed someone, several unusual, subtle ripples appeared on the water's surface.
Three indistinct figures swam one after another to the bottom of different boats, next to the submerged hulls.
They were also holding small bottles and cotton swabs, furtively trying to wipe something.
"Hmph, so there were accomplices after all," Han Ning thought with a sneer.
He scanned the area several times to confirm that there were no other abnormalities, and then located the positions of the three targets.
"Snowflake, there's a guy about 50 meters to your left. Hold him down, don't kill him."
"Leave the other two to me!"
Before he finished speaking, Han Ning suddenly exerted force with his feet.
boom.
He kicked the concrete ruins beneath his feet, sending fragments flying everywhere.
He leaped out of the height like an arrow released from a bow.
In mid-air, his bones emitted a series of loud cracking sounds, and dark golden fur quickly covered his entire body, transforming him into a half-human, half-tiger molten gold war tiger form.
Han Ning stepped on the protrusions of the building ruins and leaped onto a patch of open water between the three target ships.
The person was in mid-air, with both arms already raised.
Chi chi chi~
Dozens of dark green vines shot out from his body.
Their target was the two guys below who were painting the hull.
puff!
Unaware of what was happening, one of them was submerged underwater, diligently applying a cotton swab dipped in dark red liquid to the hull of the boat.
The vines pierced his back instantly, pinning him to the mud.
He didn't even have time to scream before his body convulsed violently, went limp, and the glass bottle slipped from his hand.
"Um?!"
The other person, however, was unusually alert.
Just as the vines were about to reach his body, he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and his body suddenly accelerated against the laws of physics, lunging to the side and forward.
