"Serpent Bead?"

This is the name of this white pearl. It's a simple name, but its significance is clearly different.

The Serpent Bead, a bead with mystical magic power, is usually conceived in the body of psychic serpents, formed by the condensation of their essence and spirit like an inner core.

If a serpent evolves into a flood dragon, the serpent bead naturally evolves into a flood dragon bead; if the flood dragon further evolves into a dragon, the flood dragon bead evolves into a Dragon Ball...

If the meaning of the term Serpent Bead is still somewhat ambiguous to Qin Fang, the term Dragon Ball makes it much clearer.

"Oh, I see..."

After receiving feedback from the Scouting Skill, Qin Fang finally got a further understanding of this serpent bead, his mind slightly relieved.

This serpent bead has already detached from the Three-eyed Viper, which has been slain by Qin Fang. It has no possibility of evolution anymore, and the serpent bead has also lost its chance for further evolution!

Of course, whether it's the Three-eyed Viper evolving into a dragon, or the serpent bead evolving into a Dragon Ball, aside from the impracticality, the process alone takes a lifetime—definitely hundreds or thousands of years!

"Mystical magic..."

What Qin Fang truly noticed in the simple description of this serpent bead was the term "mystical magic," which immediately reminded him of the strange white light emitted by the Three-eyed Viper, a light with strong enchanting power.

This light not only made the Modified Human's mind blurry and uncontrollable but nearly caused Qin Fang to suffer greatly as well...

Thinking of this, Qin Fang held the serpent bead in his hand, gently squeezed it. It was extremely hard, like a jade stone, not soft at all, which further amazed Qin Fang.

However, this was not Qin Fang's main focus.

Holding the serpent bead, he observed it closely for a while, seemingly finding nothing special, and the white light had vanished.

If this bead were casually handed to someone, it might be considered an ordinary stone and thrown away.

But Qin Fang was clearly not going to do that...

Since this bead is a Serpent Bead with mystical magic power, it certainly isn't a common object, only that Qin Fang hasn't found a way to activate its magic yet.

"What about True Qi?"

Then Qin Fang slowly infused True Qi into the bead... encountering no resistance, Qin Fang's True Qi gradually entered it.

"Not working?"

However, even with the infusion of True Qi, which consumed quite a bit, the serpent bead showed no reaction.

This result left Qin Fang quite helpless.

"Hiss~~"

Just when Qin Fang was about to give up, a faint stream of heat suddenly flowed from his chest, forming a direct line, heading towards Qin Fang's hand.

More accurately, it was directed at the serpent bead in Qin Fang's hand, the heat was extremely scorching and domineering, to the point where Qin Fang himself felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Dragon Qi..."

When Qin Fang sensed the source of the heat, he was extremely surprised, as it wasn't energy he had cultivated but Dragon Qi from the Little Dragon.

However, before Qin Fang could fully react, this Dragon Qi had already traveled through Qin Fang's meridians, reaching the serpent bead at his fingertips.

Just like Qin Fang's earlier infusion of his own True Qi, this Dragon Qi also directly entered the serpent bead...

Buzz~~

But the result was entirely different; once the Dragon Qi was infused, the serpent bead suddenly released a dazzling white light.

This light was incredibly intense, almost blinding Qin Fang instantly... everything around turned dark.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Qi immediately merged with the True Qi within Qin Fang's body, forming a more complex Dragon's True Qi.

As a result, Qin Fang's eyes slowly regained clarity... although the serpent bead still emitted intense light, to Qin Fang, it seemed much softer.

Clearly, this was the Little Dragon helping Qin Fang manipulate the serpent bead; the activation method seemed to require Dragon Qi... presumably, the aura of serpents or flood dragons could also work.

"So that's it... no wonder!"

Only then did Qin Fang understand why his previous infusions of True Qi into the serpent bead had no effect—it simply wasn't the right remedy.

But now, with the addition of Dragon Qi, the serpent bead was immediately activated...

"Want to see how it works?"

Qin Fang held the Serpent Bead, glanced around, and immediately noticed the fierce battle with the big guy nearby. A mischievous smile appeared on his face.

"Big guy, look here..."

Qin Fang took a step and immediately appeared behind the Puppet person, smiling as he called out to the Beastman while raising the Serpent Bead that emitted a dazzling white light.

"Uh..."

The Beastman was slightly stunned and then turned his gaze toward Qin Fang, immediately being dazzled by the intense white light, his body slightly stiffening...

In fact, this Serpent Bead, emitting such dazzling white light, was extremely bright in the dim environment; the Beastman had already noticed it.

However, his intense battle with the Puppet person distracted his focus. Additionally, his transformation into a beast suppressed much of his intellect, making his reactions sluggish... hence he ignored the commotion on Qin Fang's side.

But now, Qin Fang was holding the Serpent Bead right in front of him and even called out to him, making it impossible for the Beastman to ignore.

Yet paying attention to it immediately caused trouble...

The bright white light was exceedingly blinding, almost unbearable to look directly at, yet after one glance, the Beastman seemed entirely unaware of the glare, his mind captivated...

However, due to his beast transformation suppressing his rationality, his animal instinct sensed a certain danger, resulting in a subconscious physical struggle.

But it seemed his mind was under control; though his body showed signs of struggle, it remained largely motionless, still standing rigidly!

"Seize the opportunity! Kill him!"

Seeing such an opportunity, a chilling murderous intent appeared on Qin Fang's face as he immediately ordered the Puppet person.

Clang~~

Almost simultaneously with Qin Fang's command, the Puppet person launched an unhesitant attack. As its fist thrust forward, a sharp spike suddenly extended from the center of its hand...

Hiss~~

Seeing the spike, Qin Fang couldn't help but gasp involuntarily, reminding him of his first encounter with the Puppet person.

The spike reappeared, now even more robust and powerful... Qin Fang didn't doubt its toughness, fearing even his Flowing Shadow Divine Sword might not be able to damage it!

Indestructible!

This spike was undoubtedly like that!

Poof~~

Without any suspense, the mind-ensnared Beastman showed signs of reverting from his transformation, and the Puppet person wasn't going to let him off easily as the sharp spike plunged fiercely into the Beastman's chest...

The Beastman's fur provided impressive defense, nearly comparable to Qin Fang's Heavenly Silkworm Silk Armor, resistant to ordinary weapons.

But now, facing the spike, the fur was as useless as tofu, and the spike drove straight in, plunging deeply into the Beastman's chest!

"Roar~~~"

Suffering such severe trauma to a vital area deeply jolted the Beastman, dragging him from his stupor as a thunderous roar erupted.

The spike was so sharp and quite long that even though the Beastman had grown large and strong, it caused substantial damage even if not piercing through completely.

The crucial point was, the real damage was only just beginning...

One could see the Puppet person, after striking successfully, didn't launch a second attack, instead leaving the spike deeply lodged within the Beastman's body, standing coldly by.

Blood absorption!

No doubt, this was the Puppet person's true killer move...

Qin Fang deeply understood the power of this move; if he hadn't been able to heal himself back then, he would have been tormented to death by this Puppet person!

Yet, the scenario from back then was re-enacting... just with the protagonist changing from Qin Fang to this Beastman.

Qin Fang could at least use Baozi to heal and slowly endure, essentially cheating, but did this Beastman have such abilities?

Clearly, he didn't...

Seeing this, Qin Fang knew there was nothing more for him to do, and he could leave the rest to the Puppet person.

The Beastman was quite powerful, but unfortunate that he didn't possess many valuable items compared to that Wolverine... nothing worth Qin Fang's attention, so he naturally didn't even bother to take a look.

"Looks like this is indeed quite a decent item..."

The Dragon Qi had returned to Little Dragon now, as Qin Fang put away the Serpent Bead, glanced briefly, and murmured with some reflection, attributing the success to its help... otherwise, the Puppet person might not have had such a good chance to strike!
