Chapter 796 [(*^▽^*)]

Qiu Baiyu then said, "They burned themselves too, so why...did they perish together? How could that be...? Wait! The flames on their bodies went out!"

Jiang Xiaming: "Mom! Get the props ready, I'm going to use this!"

Qiu Baiyu finally came to his senses with difficulty. "Use it. Kill them first, then we'll figure out how to extinguish the flames."

Perhaps the prop in Jiang Xiaming's hand will have an unexpected effect and can help them extinguish the strange flames on their bodies.

Normally, they would have quickly noticed the special properties of the flames, but at this moment, all their attention was focused on the prop in Jiang Xiaming's hand, causing them to overlook everything else.

Lin Leyou looked ahead and said, "Try using that new talent. Even though it only has ten black lines, it's still a billion points. Maybe they're just a billion points short. After they die in the dungeon and have their points deducted, they can still survive. We have to try it."

Xue Rui: "No problem."

He used his talent, Long Night, and ten black lines representing Long Night appeared in front of him. These black lines were not yet visible to the three people opposite him. After thinking for a moment, he placed the ten long lines on Jiang Xiaming.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaming was activating the prop in his hand and didn't pay any attention to these things. The black line was extremely fast. As he successfully activated the prop, it also landed on him.

As system notifications sounded one after another, he realized that he had been locked in by someone's talent and had inexplicably had 1 billion points deducted from his account.

Qiu Baiyu, who was originally standing to the side, was suppressing the intense pain that felt like her soul was being torn apart. She was preparing props to protect the three members of her family. However, after seeing the scattered black lines, she suffered a complete mental breakdown!

At this moment, she couldn't think of anything else. All she knew was that Jiang Changdong had so many points, and all of them were plundered by these black lines before he died. Would she die in the same way?

She couldn't even think about how many of these familiar black lines there were, why they were there, or whether they were aimed at her. All she knew was that something deadly had appeared beside her.

Her first reaction was to turn and run away, but at that moment she should have activated the defensive item in her hand to protect the three of them from the item's effects.

But by the time she turned around, it was already too late.

Jiang Xiaoyue was lying on the ground, rolling around and wailing, but to no avail. Just as Jiang Xiaoming was about to grab Qiu Baiyu back and snatch the prop from her hand, he activated the prop...

Lin Leyou had already sensed something was wrong. After Xue Rui used his talent, he didn't even check the result. He immediately took Xue Rui onto the flying vehicle and fled the place as quickly as possible, while also taking out all the defensive items he could find.

Xue Rui was even prepared to use his invincible talent, Golden Body, which could maintain invincibility for thirty seconds, while Lin Leyou was considering whether he could use Ghost Wall here.

However, at that very moment, a large number of orcs suddenly appeared in front of them, including orcs from all five villages.

Snake people, lion people, leopard people, fox people, and white wolf people all appeared before them.

The snake-man said, "Don't be afraid, we're here, we can't hurt you."

They quickly hid behind them. "Over there, someone has detonated a bomb!"

Before he could even react, Xue Rui tackled him to the ground. The two of them lay there, waiting for the shockwave of the explosion to hit them, hoping that their defensive equipment would be of some use.

However... they clearly heard the sound of an explosion that shook the earth, but they did not feel the shockwave. When they slowly looked up, they found that they were surrounded by several giant snakes.

The snake-man protected them!

As for the other orcs, the snake people are fine, so they certainly won't be either.

Xue Rui then said, "Nuclear bomb."

Lin Leyou sighed, "How could this be..."

Xue Rui said, "They used it to deal with us, so it probably has some special effects, such as making defensive items ineffective. Otherwise, they wouldn't have prepared special items for defense. So it must be a set."

Lin Leyou sighed, "I hope nothing serious happens."

Just then, the snake-man's voice came through, "Don't worry, with us here, nothing serious will happen."

They knew everything that had happened. They originally thought these distinguished guests just wanted to go out and settle their personal grudges, but the snake people were still a little worried about the two little cubs, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, so they secretly followed behind without letting them notice.

Of course, when the snake people arrive, a few orcs from other villages will follow, especially from Leopard Village and White Wolf Village, since Qiu Baiyu wears the Leopard Bracelet and her two children have the White Wolf Bracelet.

The rest were just there to watch the show, but no one expected such an accident. They didn't know how much time had passed, maybe a few minutes or maybe tens of minutes, before the giant snake that had been protecting them gradually shrank and returned to its snake-human form.

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui dared not relax their defenses at this moment, since such a bomb would definitely have serious radiation after exploding, and there might be some unknown negative effects.

Once the defenses are relaxed, the orcs will be fine, but the others will be in trouble.

They carefully surveyed their surroundings and discovered many orcs, who were chatting in small groups and glancing in the direction of the explosion.

They looked in that direction as well, only to find that Qiu Baiyu and the other two were still alive!

Lin Leyou was shocked: "Still alive!"

Although the three people were still alive, their condition was not good. They lay in the pit, constantly twisting and shifting, their limbs abnormally limp on the ground.

It looks like most of his bones are intact, so he was affected by the force of the explosion.

The defensive equipment they prepared doesn't seem to be very effective, but they're not the kind of people who aren't afraid of death, so they must have come prepared beforehand, right?

The snake people said, "The bracelets protected their lives, but..."

Lin Leyou looked closely and indeed saw the bracelets exposed beneath their tattered clothes. However, at this moment, the bracelets seemed to have completed their task and began to gradually weather away, eventually breaking into small pieces of sand that fell to the ground.

Only then did he realize that they hadn't had time to use the defensive items they had prepared, and that they were only alive because the key had turned into a bracelet.

"And now they..."

The snake-man grinned. "What else can we do? They dare to do such dangerous things near the mining village, of course they have to die! You know, that mine nearby is very important to us!"

Without the bracelets, the three of them would not receive any preferential treatment, just like Tian Zhong before them, and would be killed by the villagers.

Lin Leyou watched as the three of them, who were already powerless to resist, were smashed into mincemeat by the orcs from Leopard Village and White Wolf Village.

It literally meant being smashed into mincemeat. Lin Leyou and Xue Rui only confirmed that they were really dead before following the snake people back to the village.

They sped up in the aircraft and were able to keep up with the snake-man. Only then did they realize that the snake-man was actually much faster than they had seen before, and that he had been accommodating them all along.

"Are you all really alright?"

Lin Leyou said, "You appeared right when we were in danger. We're not in any danger at all."

The snake-men carefully examined them and found that there was indeed no problem, so they were relieved. They did not ask any further questions, nor did they ask why there was any grudge between them, or why the three of them would use such a powerful thing to deal with the two cubs.

Upon returning to the village, Lin Leyou and his companions breathed a sigh of relief to find it intact. Had the village been destroyed, even if their Golden Snake Bracelet had been unharmed, they would likely have been hated by the orcs.

Soon the orcs went to prepare for the ranking battle that would represent honor a few days later, and Lin Leyou and his companion went to find Qin Xingyu. They hadn't followed along, but they had sensed the explosion.

Although the explosion did not affect the village, its power was terrifying. Fortunately, many orcs had followed him there beforehand, and he had warned them not to get too close and not to look directly at the scene for their safety.

Although the orc had some doubts, he still agreed. Seeing that they all returned safely, except for the three who were missing, Qin Xingyu knew that the orc had definitely taken his words to heart.

Qin Xingyu moved closer to him, "Are they all dead?"

Lin Leyou nodded, not expecting Xue Rui's new talent to have such an unexpected benefit. "Yes, the defensive items they specially prepared didn't activate. It was that bracelet that saved their lives."

"Even so, they were seriously injured and couldn't even take out props from their backpacks to treat themselves. Their brains may have been damaged by the explosion."

"The bracelets weathered away after that. They were no longer honored guests after the bracelets were removed, and they almost endangered the village again, so they were dealt with. They were the ones who took care of it."

Qin Xingyu glanced in the direction where the orcs were gathered. "Really? That makes sense."

Lin Leyou blinked. "So, will those three really die? Or are they just going to stay here...?"

How many points will they lose for failing this super-star dungeon? They still don't know the penalty for failure.

Qin Xingyu shook his head, "I don't know either. Maybe the system will give us a notification after we clear the level or fail. All we can do is try not to die."

Lin Leyou said, "I always feel that once the ranking battles of the five villages are over, this instance will be over, but we still can't find a single clue about the main quest."

Qin Xingyu took a deep breath, "Yes, this main quest..."

Lin Leyou recalled what Qin Xingyu had told him before. He must want to save someone to clear the game. Hehe, he was so reserved before, but now he's getting anxious.

Qin Xingyu, "What's with that expression?"
