I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 37 - Cold-blooded Green-scaled Snake Venom


Four Serpent Humans emerged from the gloom, flicking their tails as they approached Xue Lin and Wang Tiancheng.“You… are very good.”The tallest Serpent Human leader, standing in the middle, looked down at Xue Lin, speaking in broken Imperial language, his yellowish, slender snake eyes glinting with cunning and mockery.Xue Lin and Wang Tiancheng lowered their heads, their eyes filled with deep pain and guilt.“Xue, Wang, do not be sad.”The Serpent Human leader’s mouth stretched into a grin, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, “They will soon be like you, loyal to Igge.”Xue Lin clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging into his flesh, his entire body trembling slightly.As an Imperial soldier, he was not afraid of death.From the day he enlisted, he was prepared to sacrifice himself for his country.However, despite believing he possessed a will of steel, he was mercilessly broken by the Serpent Humans’ cruel torture.He had become the traitor he most despised, a human betrayer.“Where’s the antidote?”Wang Tiancheng asked hoarsely.The Serpent Human leader flicked his tongue, saying sinisterly:“This is just a test of your loyalty. Next, according to Igge’s arrangements, you are to lead the people to Tiger Gorge Grand Canyon. After the mission is complete, the antidote will be given to you.”“Think carefully about what you will say when you see your comrades next. I’ll take these few people away.”The Serpent Human leader waved his hand, signaling the nearby Serpent Humans to take away the people lying on the ground.Just as the Serpent Humans flicked their tails and approached the Earth Dragon Squad, suddenly, the Serpent Human leader’s pupils constricted.Something was wrong.One person was missing from the ground.Pfft~A blue laser beam penetrated the Serpent Human leader’s forehead from the back of his head. His body stiffened, his eyes filled with horror.Pfft pfft pfft~~Three laser beams followed closely, blowing the heads off all the remaining Serpent Humans.This sudden scene caused Xue Lin and Wang Tiancheng’s bodies to shake violently, stirring up a storm in their hearts.They turned their heads and saw a figure gradually emerging from the shadows.“It’s you!”When they saw the newcomer’s face, Xue Lin and Wang Tiancheng’s pupils constricted sharply, and they immediately looked back.Sure enough, one person was missing from the ground.“You… how could you be fine?”Xue Lin stammered slightly. He knew that the humid air was mixed with the poisonous gas produced by the Poisonous Serpent Human, which was almost colorless and odorless, and [N O V E L I G H T] extremely hallucinogenic.Even a Spiritual Energy User’s physique would immediately fall into dizziness and coma after inhaling a small amount of the gas.The reason they were fine was because they had other toxins injected into their bodies by the Poisonous Serpent Human, allowing them to counter the poison with poison and resist the hallucinogenic gas. So how was this guy immune?Qin Tian looked at the two coldly. He was spared partly due to the super physique granted by Steel Bone, which allowed him to metabolize the inhaled gas quickly, and partly because the green talent Quick Recovery also played a very important role.Name: Quick Recovery (Green)Type: Passive TalentDescription: Those with this talent have far greater cellular activity than ordinary people, possess strong self-healing abilities, and significantly enhanced resistance to various toxins.Clap clap clap~~Qin Tian walked towards the two step by step, his footsteps crisp, yet they struck their hearts like death drums.Xue Lin and Wang Tiancheng’s faces turned pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their heartbeats quickened, almost leaping out of their chests.Clap~Suddenly, Qin Tian stopped, his laser gun barrel pressed against Xue Lin’s temple, and he said coldly:“Wake them up, or else, die!”The cold gun barrel pressed against his skin, and the air was filled with tension.For some reason, Xue Lin suddenly calmed down. After a moment of silence, he said:“They were poisoned by the Poisonous Serpent Human’s gas. Only the Poisonous Serpent Human can undo this poison.”“He’s right.”Wang Tiancheng said hoarsely, “We also have the Poisonous Serpent Human’s poison in our bodies, which is why we’re immune to the gas.”Qin Tian stared at the two for a long time before slowly retracting his gun and asking, “Where is the Poisonous Serpent Human?”“The Poisonous Serpent Human is a fourth-tier Beast Spirit Warrior. Looking for him is just seeking death.”Xue Lin said dejectedly, “Notify the military to send experts. If we can take down a Poisonous Serpent Human, then our deaths will have meaning, and we will have served the Empire.”Xue Lin knew very well that once Imperial reinforcements arrived, their betrayal would not be kept secret, and they would both be sent to a military court.However, even before they faced the military court, the potent poison in their bodies would erupt. They were going to die sooner or later.“You just need to tell me where the Poisonous Serpent Human is.”Qin Tian said coldly.He had just inhaled some of the gas and clearly noticed its harm to the nervous system. If the toxins were not expelled for a long time, it would cause irreversible damage to the body.Especially for Supernaturals, such an impact was unacceptable.Moreover, even if military experts could indeed arrive quickly, battles are unpredictable.What if they accidentally killed the Poisonous Serpent Human? Who would save the Earth Dragon Squad then?Therefore, he had to find the Poisonous Serpent Human as soon as possible and then acquire his snake venom talent.Xue Lin heard the determination in Qin Tian’s tone. After a moment of hesitation, he said:“The Poisonous Serpent Human is in the deepest part of this cave.”“Besides him, there are dozens of Green Scale Serpent Humans. You alone will just be sending yourself to your death.”Qin Tian said coldly:“That’s my decision.”With that, Qin Tian suddenly grabbed Xue Lin’s hand and then twisted it sharply.Crack~His palm twisted 90 degrees, bones shattering.“Ah!”Xue Lin screamed in agony, but the pain was not over.Crack crack crackBoth his hands and feet were broken by Qin Tian.Intense pain surged through his nerves like a tide. He was too much in pain to even cry out, lying on the ground, his body trembling like a sieve.“What do you want to do?”Wang Tiancheng looked at Qin Tian angrily, shouting loudly.Qin Tian said coldly, “I won’t kill you, but I also won’t let you be perfectly fine with my teammates.”“Also, not killing you is not out of my softheartedness. If the information is wrong, the suffering you endure will be ten or even a hundred times what it is now. I will make you—““Wish you were dead.”Qin Tian’s voice was very cold, like a winter chill that could freeze one’s soul.He didn’t want to know why Xue and Wang surrendered to the Beastmen, nor did he care if they had any grievances; that was the military court’s concern.The only thing he cared about was his teammates.Crack crack crack~~Wang Tiancheng’s hands and feet were broken one by one by Qin Tian, but he was much tougher than Xue Lin, not making a sound throughout.Qin Tian did not let the two continue to suffer. With two hand chops, he knocked them both unconscious.Afterward, Qin Tian dragged his teammates out of the cave to avoid inhaling more toxic gas.Standing before the dark cave entrance, Qin Tian’s eyes were deep, like a cold pool, his thoughts sinking into his mind.After killing the four Serpent Humans, he gained two new talents.Name: Cold Blooded (White)Type: Passive TalentDescription: Your body temperature will change with the external environmental temperature, and you will have a more sensitive perception of surrounding heat sources....Name: Green Scale Snake Venom (Green)Type: Passive TalentDescription: Your body can secrete highly toxic snake venom, and your own toxin resistance is greatly enhanced.
