Zhao Yi prepared to bypass this area and look for another route up the mountain. Just then, he noticed a savage beast emerging from a cave.
Taking a closer look, he saw it was a python over ten feet long, leading a brood of offspring out to forage. This kind of snake had a red crest on its head shaped like a cockscomb, which was why it was called the Cockscomb Viper. They were extremely venomous and could also spit arrows of poisonous water. Cockscomb Vipers were social beasts, numbering in the thousands, with larger packs boasting even more.
The leading viper was already at the late Tier 1 level and would soon advance to Tier 2. Its strength was not to be underestimated; late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would never dare to make an enemy of it, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators would give it a wide berth rather than easily engage it in combat.
