The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 202: Immune to Debuffs

The air was thick with smoke, and the plants nearby were in various stages of decay.

Poison.

Yao Ziyan frowned slightly, analyzing her options.

Half of the mission time had already been spent just getting here.

She scanned the area, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Among the dense foliage, tiny white flowers bloomed like scattered stars.

A faint, pleasant fragrance filled the air.

"There it is!"

A small smile appeared on her lips.

Bending down, she plucked a few of the delicate flowers.

Wherever a deadly toxin existed, an antidote was often found nearby.

This simple-looking white flower was precisely that.

It wasn't surprising that Yao Ziyan recognized it—after all, she was from the royal lineage of monsters.

The moment she picked the flower, a system notification rang in her ears.

"You have obtained White Orchid. Consuming it grants temporary immunity to Black Cloud Serpent venom."

She was momentarily surprised, then pleased.

Casual mode had its perks.

Even the seemingly random mechanics created by the boss were incredibly well thought out.

Luo Chuan's serious face flashed in her mind, making her blush slightly.

Shaking off the thought, she quickly ate the white orchid.

A message appeared on her status panel—

[Black Cloud Serpent Venom Immunity – Active]

Now fully prepared, Yao Ziyan snapped off a sturdy branch and tested its durability.

Not bad.

It would do as a makeshift weapon.

Without hesitation, she moved closer to the Black Cloud Serpent.

---

Hiss!

Just as she stepped within ten feet, the serpent suddenly lifted its head.

Its cold, vertical pupils locked onto her position.

It had sensed her.

Yao Ziyan sighed internally.

A sneak attack was out of the question.

Fine.

It would save her time anyway.

A smirk curled her lips.

Like a graceful butterfly, she advanced.

Even without cultivation, her presence carried an intimidating force.

This was the aura of a true master.

Had this been the real world, she wouldn't even need to fight—just a hint of her royal monster bloodline would have made the creature instinctively bow in submission.

But here, in casual mode, that advantage was useless.

The Black Cloud Serpent flicked its tongue and tensed its coiled body.

Its fangs, several inches long, gleamed ominously.

Strike!

With lightning speed, the serpent lunged.

But Yao Ziyan was faster.

Her body twisted at an angle impossible for most humans, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Now!

A glint flashed in her eyes.

She thrust the branch forward like a spear.

Crack!

The air whistled as it pierced directly into the serpent's eye.

Pop!

The eye burst like an overripe fruit, spraying foul-colored fluids.

Hiss!!

The Black Cloud Serpent thrashed wildly in agony.

One strike—

A clean hit.

Yao Ziyan landed several meters away, maintaining her guard.

She wasn't about to celebrate too soon.

As someone from the monster royal family, she knew better than anyone—a cornered beast was the most dangerous.

Even in a virtual world, that principle held true.

And sure enough—

The wounded serpent reared back, opening its mouth wide.

Its fangs glistened with venom.

Swoosh!

Two jets of pale green venom shot toward her.

Yao Ziyan's pupils contracted.

She dodged, but some of the venom splattered onto her sleeve.

Sizzle...

The fabric instantly corroded, revealing smooth, pale skin beneath.

A few drops landed on the back of her hand—

But nothing happened.

The venom had no effect.

[Black Cloud Serpent Venom Immunity – BUFF Active]

Yao Ziyan smirked.

"Looks like you're out of tricks."
