Tan Xiaobai got goosebumps and immediately hid behind Tan Xiaosu. With his sister in front of him, he regained some courage.
"Snakes, it's snakes! See? I told you so! This is a snake infestation!" He was secretly pleased. His sister called him an idiot every day, but today he finally got it right.
"Sister, it must be that Azure Company did some kind of biological experiment," he pointed at Shekh, "This half-human, half-snake monster is blatant evidence. Those snakes attacking humans inexplicably must have been influenced by them too!"
"Shut up!" Tan Xiaosu stomped heavily on his shoe. She changed her attitude and forced a smile: "It's all a misunderstanding. We have no grudges against each other. We'll leave now."
That idiot Tan Xiaobai, she spread so much wrong information, she's really going to get herself killed this time.
However, it was also her own fault for thinking that survival-related activities wouldn't be too dangerous and letting her guard down.
What nonsense about being disabled or having an inspirational life? She's the one who's blinded by gullible fools and idiots.
Tan Xiaosu gestured to the man with the buzz cut at the door with her hand behind her back, silently increasing her defensive skills.
In her highest defensive state, her skill "Unbreakable Defense" can block boss-level skill attacks and maintain absolute defense for six seconds.
Escaping with items within six seconds is not difficult for her. Survival dungeons have no dungeon bosses, so defense is a piece of cake. This time is enough for her to leave the warehouse.
Shehejing watched her subtle movements and repeated the question: "No grudges, no enmity?"
"Yes, I misunderstood. You look somewhat like my enemies. I mistook you for someone else. Let's leave now."
"Tan Xiaosu...you're such a coward." Tan Xiaobai thought she was extremely pathetic. "Snakes don't have brains, why are you afraid of her? Besides, there are three of us."
Tan Xiaobai was eager to try, already convinced that Shekh was a creation of the laboratory. So what if it was a second-hand monster made by humans? It had skills.
Her skill, "Ruo Zhen Gu," can reduce the attack speed of enemy targets by 50% and inflict a poisoned state. Combined with attack items, it makes killing very efficient.
After confirming that Tan Xiaosu had activated her defense, he stepped forward and raised his hand to unleash a skill on Shekh.
"Don't!"
Tan Xiaosu was unable to stop him in time; all she saw was a splatter of blood.
Warm liquid splashed onto her face. Her gaze passed through Tan Xiaobai's body, and she saw the man standing opposite her shaking his head with an indescribable expression.
Tan Xiaobai's clothes were stained red with blood, his chest was pierced, and blood gushed out from the glaring hole.
He was killed in a single blow before he could utter a single word.
Shekh remained seated, his attacks swift, precise, and ruthless, imbued with an innate indifference and elegance.
She looked down at Tan Xiaosu: "It's not that we have no grudges or hatred; it's that I live and you die."
There's no reason to let the prey that's taken the bait go. The trio came specifically to kill her and seize the supplies. Just because no one died doesn't mean we can pretend nothing happened.
Shekh flicked the snake's tail, shaking off the blood, his expression so blank that he didn't look like he had just killed someone.
A murderous intent lingered. Tan Xiaosu glanced at her brother's corpse; this was the reason she feigned weakness and insisted on leaving.
People's impression of snakes is usually that they are sinister, twisted, and cold-blooded animals that live in the shadows and ambush others.
In reality, snake worship exists all over the world. In totems, legends, and even in various mythologies, snakes are revered as important deities.
Even the logo of modern medicine often uses the snake as its icon. The fact that a creature can have such an influence is enough to show that it is not a simple character.
Tan Xiaosu knew that given the attitudes of the two people in front of her, she couldn't leave easily today.
She took out two sharp eight-bladed swords, and after searching Tan Xiaobai's body on the ground for a long time, she found two prop pills.
She swallowed two more pills in one gulp, increasing her strength to 140%.
Shekh watched her calmly, neither urging nor stopping her, occasionally glancing at the buzz-cut man who was constantly moving.
Below, Tan Xiaosu and the crew-cut man locked eyes, and Tan Xiaosu successfully acquired his skill, [Dynamic Visual Sharing], having made ample preparations.
Shi Jinzhe took a few steps back and retreated behind the beam where Sheh was perched.
Tan Xiaosu was covered by a light gold protective shield, preventing him from picking up items. It was better for him to stay away from the battlefield.
Two eight-slash swords flew out unexpectedly, severing both ends of the roof beam. The crossbeam collapsed, and Shekh's tail wrapped around a side pillar, shifting its position before hitting the ground.
Tan Xiaosu counted down six numbers in her mind and ran quickly towards the gate.
The two knives automatically returned to her hands, and she launched all her attacks at the roof beams and supporting pillars, destroying all strongholds that could allow Shekh to stop, trying to slow her down.
The man with the buzz cut guarding the door splashed the super corrosive agent he had redeemed from the prop shop onto the large iron gate.
The iron gate hissed out white smoke and was quickly corroded.
With their escape in sight, Tan Xiaosu sheathed her knife, focused her attention, and sped up. Light was right in front of her; as long as she ran out, she could escape danger.
However, in the last second before the defense ended, a person suddenly hung upside down in front of the gate.
Shekh's tail wrapped around the last crossbeam of the door, and it flipped over, suspending its upper body in mid-air to block the two people's path.
Absolute defense is outdated. Tan Xiaosu couldn't stop in time, and before she could react, the defensive shield shattered in an instant.
Her face turned pale instantly, and she quickly swung her twin swords. The blades struck the scales, making a crisp clang, and the swords broke in two.
"How is that possible!"
The blood-stained snake tail coiled around Tan Xiaosu's body, lifting her up into the air and presenting her to Shehe.
Shekh's gaze fell on his own scales, and a sense of oppression washed over him: "You hit my tail."
She brushed aside Tan Xiaosu's long hair, twisted her neck, and in Tan Xiaosu's terrified gaze, the venomous fangs suddenly pierced through her neck.
Upon seeing Tan Xiaosu die instantly, the crew-cut man ran away in a panic.
With its extremely high attack speed, powerful strangulation ability, and deadly venom, I absolutely cannot let this snake catch me!
But escape was out of the question; his calf was immediately wrapped around by the snake's tail and dragged back.
The beam could not bear the weight of Schech, and it creaked, pulling the structure on both sides towards the middle and causing it to collapse.
The dilapidated warehouse collapsed from the doorway. Shekh threw Tan Xiaobai's body towards the door, and the three corpses were crushed underneath.
She handed the fallen props to Shi Jinzhe and said, "They're all dead."
Shi Jinzhe accepted the items: two spatial rings, an umbrella, a spray bottle, a speed-up pill, a half-used potent corrosive agent, and Tan Xiaosu's skill [Defense is Impregnable].
This was the richest he had ever been in his five dungeon runs; he had never even dared to dream of such a thing before.
For the first time, Shi Jinzhe's face showed a relaxed expression. "Let's leave here first."
He activated his spatial ring, threw out all the snake repellent medicine inside, and then took out a large bucket of water for Shekh, saying, "Quickly rinse its tail."
He didn't want the trio's car; it smelled strongly of snake repellent, and there was no need to upset Sheikh.
After retrieving the supplies he had bought that afternoon from the hidden door and storing them in his spatial ring, Shi Jinzhe changed his route and returned to a populated area, then took a taxi and left.
