Chapter 20
[Intelligence: 7]
The blade exuded a sharp murderous intent.
And the uncontrollable excitement emanating from the black-haired boy, who wanted to kill the other person.
Those turquoise cat eyes were so bright in the dim room that they even made people feel scared.
Faced with such a black-haired boy, the demonized creature suddenly felt a sense of crisis and fear spread throughout his body.
He must be killed!
If I don't kill this human, I will be the one to die!
Countless arms and legs appeared from under its huge body, moving rapidly towards Suxingyuan. It opened its mouth wide, and its sharp teeth suddenly became longer as it bit towards him fiercely.
Just by seeing the huge deformed monster rushing towards her, Qiao Zixin couldn't help but become so frightened that her body froze. The oppressive feeling from the monster was too great. If it were her, she thought she would not even have the strength to escape.
However……
She looked at the black-haired boy standing in the center. There was only no fear in his eyes.
He casually swung his knife and instead of retreating, he walked towards the monster step by step.
Then, just as the fangs were about to touch him, he drew his knife without hesitation.
The knife suddenly burst into a verdant cold light, and the brightest part even turned pure white. In the black-haired boy's hand, it was like a part of his body, like his hand, his will, his incarnation -
The densely packed sharp teeth that tried to bite him were cut off in an instant. His knife-drawing speed reached the extreme at this moment. No one could see how he drew the knife. They could only see that at that moment, countless silver-green knife marks appeared in the air at the same time, almost cutting through the space!
Beyond the knife marks, under the fluttering black hair, the pair of eyes that were now almost the same color as the knife marks were shockingly bright. Then he retracted the knife again and turned around. With the force of a falling meteor, he slashed the knife diagonally on the layer of spiritual protective shell that seemed indestructible!
“Click, snap.”
There was a subtle sound of something beginning to crack.
The monster's pupils suddenly shrank and it trembled slightly.
For the first time, it felt fear deep in its bones.
[Intelligence: 4]
The black-haired boy smiled and said softly:
"Let me see, how long can you hold on to this shell?"
He pulled his arms away again.
The first knife.
The second knife.
The third knife.
…
The twenty-seventh knife.
Each blow is faster, heavier, and more difficult to defend against than the previous one!
At this moment, his speed has far surpassed that of an average B-level hunter, and is even... approaching that of an A-level hunter!
Qiao Zixin almost held her breath while watching this scene. Her eyes reflected star-like knife-like light, her heart was beating violently, and her eardrums were throbbing. She didn't know why she was so excited.
She wanted desperately to record this scene, but she knew that no description in words could be as shocking as seeing it with her own eyes.
She had also seen other hunters' battle scenes, and now she suddenly understood where the breath-taking shock came from.
If she were a god, she would definitely favor such an existence—
He was holding a good knife in his hand. The blade was sharp and his finger did not waver at all. But his gaze, his eyes, and his will were a hundred times sharper than the knife in his hand!
——It was a sharp edge that seemed to force back everything!
"boom!!"
The mental defense shell was completely shattered, and the aftermath of the shockwaves hit the wall heavily, causing smoke and dust to rise.
[You have penetrated the spiritual defense of [God-King-Demonization]! ! 】
[[The Divine King - Demonization] suffered a mental backlash! 】
[[The Divine King - Demonization] has fallen into a weakened state! ! 】
It is this moment——
[Intelligence: 1]
——The knife flashed suddenly!
The silver-green light instantly filled the entire room. Even though Qiao Zixin quickly closed her eyes, she was still stimulated to shed some physiological tears.
She could only hear the sound of something being cut off, and some limbs covered with warm liquid fell from the platform and rolled down beside her.
She tried her best to open her eyes, and in the blur, she finally saw the last scene of this grand murder drama -
The huge demonized creature was hit directly in the heart by the black-haired boy's heaviest and fastest blow.
The dagger was not long, but the sword energy covering it scattered in an instant, and turned into sharp blades at different angles in the blink of an eye, cutting towards the body of the monster at the same time!
——Like scattered stars.
But while it is dazzling, it is also a deadly weapon.
When Qiao Zixin came to his senses, the light had gradually dissipated, the monster was deader than dead, the black-haired boy drew his knife, and his body suddenly swayed slightly.
Qiao Zixin was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that the monster seemed to have a means of mental attack.
Nothing will happen to him, right?
At this time, the black-haired boy had already sat down on the edge of the platform. Just as he suddenly took out the knife, he took out a book from somewhere and opened it.
Qiao Zixin raised his foot and was about to walk towards him, but when he stepped out of the dividing line, he paused and looked down.
The aftermath of the sword energy that was scattered when the black-haired boy made the final attack almost covered every inch of the floor in the room. The floor was covered with unforgettable marks, but it did not cross the "dividing line" even a little bit.
"Stay here and don't move. Be careful not to get hurt."
The words that the black-haired boy had said with a smile flashed back in her mind.
It turns out that what he meant by accidental injury... is also this meaning.
Did he foresee at that time what was going to happen?
He forcibly controlled the sword energy that was scattered randomly. Is his control over power... just to this extent?
Although Qiao Zixin is a reporter and has a lot of contact with hunters, this also involves her blind spots in knowledge. She came to the side of the black-haired boy in a daze.
As she approached, she seemed to hear the other person's childish complaint with a slightly rising ending tone:
"I just took a shower..."
Qiao Zixin's gaze involuntarily shifted to his blood-stained body for a moment.
Well, no matter how strong a melee hunter is, it is probably the same worldwide that he cannot be killed after just one fight.
Perhaps she discovered that he also had some minor troubles and was no longer so unattainable. She calmed down a little and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
The black-haired boy flipped through the book with lifeless eyes, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Qiao Zixin could only raise his voice: "Hey, are you okay?"
Only then did the voice reach his ears. The black-haired boy blinked, reacted, and then raised his head.
Only then did Qiao Zixin realize that the lines in his eyes that converged towards the center of his pupils seemed to be moving, the mole under his eye became darker, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised meaninglessly, exuding a strong sense of neurosis and a slight sense of madness.
He said calmly, "I'm fine."
Qiao Zixin: "...wouldn't you consider cleaning up first?"
He continued calmly: "I am trying to regain my wits."
Qiao Zixin choked up suddenly.
Wisdom, intelligence? ?
No, what serious hunter would fight to consume his intelligence?
Can you restore your intelligence by reading books? ?
You are obviously spiritual...
As she thought of this, she involuntarily lowered her head and looked at the magical book.
The magical book has a plain cover.
This plain cover clearly highlights the book’s brilliant title:
Postpartum care of sows
Qiao Zixin: “…………”
Do you have to watch this to restore your intelligence? !
Now that she no longer doubted his intelligence, she began to doubt her own brain and eyes.
Maybe she was also affected mentally, and it would be fine after a while, she comforted herself.
While Qiao Zixin was doubting himself and comforting himself at the same time, Su Xingyuan was frantically trying to save his intellectual bar which had reached the limit.
Finally, the intelligence that had been declining began to slowly grow upwards and tremblingly reached "2".
Su Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and saved the game again.
It was a close call, I almost became a fool (x).
After experiencing such a battle, even the player would feel a little tired. He simply waited for the intelligence bar to slowly recover while checking the various pop-up windows that had appeared during the battle.
He was really a little crazy just now. All he saw and thought about was the monster in front of him, the power surging in his body and the knife in his hand. His mind, body and his weapon seemed to be integrated into one. Looking for flaws, pausing the game to observe weaknesses, rational thinking... all were thrown aside. He didn't even pay much attention to the pop-up windows and acted entirely on instinct.
And at that time, his instinct was to cut it into pieces.
Although the concentration has reached a certain level, it has to be said that it is really easy to fail.
…
Forget it, I'll do it again when the time comes.
As a player, how can you not have a car accident once or twice?
Su Xingyuan opened the pop-up window optimistically.
Then he discovered that when he was facing the monster head-on, a limited-time quest called [Hidden Whispers] actually popped up.
The mission goal is to eliminate this monster.
And the reward is... a skill book related to mental power?
Su Xingyuan clicked "Confirm" out of curiosity.
[Skill: Flesh and Blood Sage]
[Description: When activating a skill, a certain amount of physical strength can be converted into intelligence]
After seeing this description, Su Xingyuan's smile slowly disappeared.
Anyway, one of the physical strength and intelligence must be missing, right?
Is this the legendary exchange of life for a useful brain? :)
Thinking about his previous title of "Desperate Speculator" that could go berserk with only a sliver of health left, Su Xingyuan suddenly began to doubt his life. Why did his panel seem to be sliding in a weird direction?
Whose good guy's skill panel looks like this?
But he still has normal skills, Su Xingyuan calmly clicked on the next pop-up window.
[Skill: Starry Sky]
[Description: 1. Inject magic power into the weapon and maintain a combo. Each attack will inherit the strength of the previous attack and take advantage of it to increase the attack speed and power, reducing magic power consumption]
[2. If the combo is interrupted, the combo will be calculated again at the next attack]
[3. When the combo reaches the 27th sword, the next sword will be "Starry Sky", which will increase the strength and speed by 5%, and scatter sword energy with 50% of the previous attack's damage around the target, causing area damage]
——Not only is it a skill, but it is also a combat skill of high quality.
It can be said that this skill he learned from fighting monsters filled the gap in this area in a timely manner.
In addition, this special monster gave a lot of experience points, and Su Xingyuan even reached level 15 in one fell swoop. Now he has a total of 30 free attribute points.
He allocated 10 points to physical strength, 5 points to intelligence, 7 points to strength, and 5 points to agility.
His personal dashboard is now:
[Nickname: Su Xingyuan]
[Level: lv.15]
[Physical Strength: 43.7 (+1)]
[Intelligence: 27]
[Strength: 42 (+7)]
[Agility: 43 (+2)]
[Defense: 24 (+2)]
After dividing it, Su Xingyuan found the magic core dropped by the monster he killed this time in his backpack.
[Name: Magic Core-Special]
[Description: Spiritual magic core, contains some impurities, can increase the intelligence limit to a certain extent]
Since there are impurities, it may be more useful after the impurities are removed, so there is no need to rush.
Su Xingyuan threw it back into his backpack first.
He opened the Monster Manual.
[Monster Name: The Divine King (Demonized)]
[The hunter who actively merges with the demonic energy emanating from the [Gate] in pursuit of powerful strength has his body alienated, his mental abilities mutated and enhanced, and he likes to brainwash intelligent creatures as his followers. 】
They retain human intelligence, but their self-perception is no longer human, and they like to eat raw meat. [+]
Su Xingyuan thought for a moment and added:
[Monsters have powerful mental attack methods and can deploy mental defense barriers, but their defense capabilities are limited and will break when the damage threshold is reached. At this time, the monster will fall into a weakened state and its defense ability will decrease. 】
[Recommended strategy requires intelligence > 30, or possessing skills or items that are resistant to mental attacks. 】
Congratulations on making this extremely valuable addition! 】
[You have received rewards: gold coins*300]
After doing all this, Su Xingyuan took a look at the intelligence bar and found that the value had climbed to 5.
He felt that his mental state had stabilized a lot, so he stood up and was about to walk towards the cleaning room when he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Qiao Zixin:
"Did you call the police?"
Qiao Zixin nodded as a matter of course: "Yes."
Su Xingyuan: “…”
No, maybe his mental state is not very stable.
Noticing his silence, Qiao Zixin also became a little nervous and asked, "Is there a problem? Or are there believers among the police?"
Because she had just watched the whole process, she had a high degree of trust in Su Xingyuan, and her first suspicion was that the police had been infiltrated.
Su Xingyuan smiled cheerfully: "No, the problem is me."
Qiao Zixin: “?”
Su Xingyuan: "I don't know how to explain it to you. After all, I'm just a leveling machine with an intelligence of 5."
Qiao Zixin: “???”
Su Xingyuan sighed deeply, and taking a quick shower before the police and the Hunter Association arrived, he prepared to leave first. The game was so interesting, he didn't want to stay in jail and grow mushrooms.
Then he realized that the only piece of clothing he could wear was that fashionable black windbreaker.
Is this reasonable?
He could only take out a set of evil-looking custom-made black robes for the welcoming ceremony and put them on.
Qiao Zixin hadn't left yet, apparently preparing to wait for the police here. Seeing him come out in a new black robe, she hesitantly asked what she had been struggling with: "Are you... a wanted criminal?"
Su Xingyuan thought about it and said sincerely: "No."
Just as Qiao Zixin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him continue:
“But it may be soon.”
Qiao Zixin almost choked on his own saliva.
Su Xingyuan had encountered NPCs before who particularly liked to issue wanted warrants and bounties to players, and they were chased all over the world. He was not sure whether Fan Ling and Fang Mujian were also of this type.
But now the most important thing is to collect the spoils.
He searched the place inside and out, but there was nothing else of value. However, there was a lot of circulating currency in the merit box, which he could use to buy two pieces of clothing to prevent himself from being forced to run naked if his clothes were torn.
"Wait!" Before he left, Qiao Zixin's voice rang out behind him, "I'm very grateful for your kindness. I'm Qiao Zixin, a reporter from Mantianxing Daily. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Mantianxing Daily building to find me."
"Thank me for nothing."
He didn't save her.
However, Su Xingyuan still nodded sideways, then left from the side door of the welcoming hall and disappeared into a deep alley.
*
"A citizen reported that a monster was spotted in the city?!"
Fang Mujian, who had not had time to rest, had just sat down when he received the call and jumped up from the sofa.
He took a breath with a headache and felt his temple throbbing.
How come ever since that unidentified hunter showed up, he suddenly became so busy that he couldn't stop at all?
Fang Mujian took his coat and put it on hastily, then walked out the door and asked, "What's the situation? Are there any casualties? Who are the witnesses?"
"When we arrived, the monster had already been dealt with. The witness was Qiao Zixin, a reporter from Mantianxing Daily. Originally, we didn't need to call you over to clean up the mess, but maybe..."
The member of the investigation team opposite said tactfully: "You are more familiar with the person who solved the monster."
Fang Mujian: “…”
Stop talking, he already knows who it is, and his stomach hurts.
However, the name Qiao Zixin seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.
But he should have never been to J City before... Why did he feel that the name of a reporter in J City sounded familiar? It must be a coincidence.
Fan Ling took over all the affairs of the Paishan Guild. With all the new and old grudges added together, their grievances were deeper than others imagined. Fang Mujian was happy to let go, so he was the only one who came to investigate this incident.
It was not easy to drive in the residential area on the edge of the city, so Fang Mujian parked the car at the entrance of the alley and then strode towards the area surrounded by cordon.
He first saw the ambulances arriving one after another, and the unconscious people wearing identical black robes being carried into the ambulances by police officers.
It seems that this matter has become quite serious.
But whether to suppress it or spread it out was not something he, a hunter on a mission, should worry about.
"Hello, Mr. Fang." The investigation team came up to him, greeted him briefly, and took him to the crime scene. "Through the descriptions of eyewitnesses and video and audio evidence, we have restored the original situation of the incident. There is a monster lurking here, secretly tempting humans to become its food reserves, and it also let the people who were most brainwashed by it go out and bring in others."
“This can be said to be its breeding ground.”
They stepped into the room. The black and red decoration and the tightly drawn curtains made people feel extremely depressing. The room was filled with the smell of blood, and on the table nearby there was an overturned bowl with what seemed to be dried blood in it.
Fang Mujian frowned: "With so many followers and it staying here for a long time, why didn't the nearby magic detector detect any abnormal magic fluctuations?"
"We checked and there was nothing wrong with the detector."
After the investigation team member finished speaking, he paused and looked at Fang Mujian.
Fang Mujian spoke out his guess in a deep voice: "...Unless, its magic power band is different from that of ordinary monsters."
Su Xingyuan did not understand how the magic detector worked, and thought that the concealment attribute of this monster was too high, so it was hidden from the Hunter Association. However, Fang Mujian knew very well that the concentration of magic here had reached a certain scale, and the believers would go out to "preach" from time to time. With the sensitivity of the detectors that they replaced from time to time, it was impossible for them not to detect it.
The only possibility is that these magical powers are simply not within the detection range of the detector.
Instruments like magic detectors are often used to determine which area a portal appears in and to estimate the level of the portal. They can also be used to detect monsters.
The reason why it is not used to track down some criminals with special abilities is because the hunter's magic power is like people's fingerprints and irises, and everyone's magic power is slightly different.
However, with the current technology used to study magic, it is not possible to capture that subtle difference.
"Previous monsters were actually ordinary people who were contaminated. Their magic power all came from the portal... But this time, the prototype of the monster is probably a hunter who has awakened his abilities."
Fang Mujian walked forward. The monster's body had not been dealt with yet. He could see those horrific body parts. Just by looking at it, he knew that this guy would definitely not be easy to deal with.
"Only when the hunter's own magic power merges with the magic power in the gate, will the magic power in the gate have special characteristics and will not be detected by the magic power detector."
The investigation team member frowned and said, "This is the first case of a monster that can be transformed by a hunter."
After all, everyone assumes that hunters have a better control over magic than ordinary people, and once they have awakened their abilities, it should be difficult for them to be invaded by magic that does not belong to them.
"So, things are getting complicated. It doesn't take much thought to know that a hunter-turned-monster is definitely much more difficult to deal with than an ordinary monster."
There is an even more serious danger, that is, if we don’t figure out the cause of the hunter’s demonization, then even hunters who have been through life and death together will find it difficult to trust each other in the future.
A team without trust in each other is a mess.
Fang Mujian sighed: "I will report this to my superiors first, and then return to the headquarters to report this matter to my superiors face to face."
Damn it, why does he always encounter such bad things? Couldn't that unknown hunter just catch and kill other people?
Fang Mujian, who was full of anger after staying up for three days and nights, complained while squatting down diligently to check the knife marks that almost covered the platform.
He had never fought the opponent head-on, but from these traces, he could infer that the opponent's level was definitely not lower than B-level -
Even if it is B-level, it should be a top-level combat hunter with outstanding individual combat capabilities, standing at the top of the B-level hunter combat power tower.
The investigation team added at the right time: "According to Miss Qiao, these were all caused by the hunter alone. He was supposed to be hiding by disguising himself as a believer, but unfortunately, the monster attacked him."
Fang Mujian stood up: "This doesn't even count his full strength."
That guy still has some hidden cards that he hasn't revealed yet.
However, a few days ago, ordinary monsters could force him to use tactics that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred. A few days later, he could hunt higher-level monsters alone while retaining his strength.
This growth rate... is truly terrifying.
"What happened to those believers? Can they be saved?" Fang Mujian changed the subject.
"Yes, but without exception, their spirits have been greatly shocked. Even if they wake up, they may become stupid. Also... their limbs are broken and they have temporarily lost their ability to move. They need hunters with special healing abilities to assist in their recovery."
"But the amazing thing is, they don't feel any pain... at least that's what the instruments can detect."
Hearing this, Fang Mujian fell into a deep silence, and then asked, "Did he do it again?"
The word "again" contains so much sadness and innocent hair.
"Yes."
Fang Mujian: “…”
He could already imagine the scene of these controlled people interfering with the hunter, and then the hunter breaking their limbs without hesitation.
But he has learned to comfort himself now. At least the other party didn't kill them directly, right? He is still a very nice person!
Now, he only had one last question.
——Why can that hunter cause trouble all day long? ! Wouldn’t he be tired after finishing this place and going to the next one? What about human nature? What about morality? What is the bottom line of being a human being? !
He clearly remembered that the other party had just slipped away from the Paishan Guild Headquarters... Was there a gap of two hours in between?
Fang Mujian, who had become increasingly manic in just a few days, took a deep breath - if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely beat him up severely to relieve his hatred for being forced to work overtime for so many days!
*
Su Xingyuan, who was locating the dungeon on the minimap for tracking, had no idea how much workload he was indirectly adding to a poor hunter.
After all, from the player's perspective, although the means are a bit rough and the actions are a bit direct, the players are doing good things! He is working for the official agency for nothing!
Therefore, Su Xingyuan felt at ease leaving the task of dealing with the mess to them and went to the dungeon himself.
The portal leading to the dungeon has an entry time limit, and it would be a pity to miss it. He plans to take advantage of the fact that the Paishan Guild and the Hunter Association are busy these days to clean out all the dungeons in J City.
Of course, in addition to leveling up and completing tasks, he also has other goals——
The information collected from the Paishan Guild showed that the [Secret Realm Pass] was accidentally discovered by the organization behind the Paishan Guild during a portal strategy.
Moreover, the location of the discovery was inside another portal that appeared deeper inside the portal.
Later they searched many more portals but never saw this kind of door within a door again. However, the players believed that they could trigger special events wherever they went. What's more, the entrance to the secret realm was probably opened in the dungeon.
There are currently two portals in J City that have not been dealt with. Su Xingyuan came to the vicinity of one of them, found a tree to climb up, lay on the branch with a book in his hand, and took a short rest.
The sunlight passed through the fallen leaves and fell on his body, bringing warmth. Su Xingyuan fell asleep without realizing it.
…
Two hours later, Su Xingyuan woke up.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to check if he had fallen to the ground.
No, the player's dignity was preserved.
He stretched his body and felt that his mental and physical strength had reached its peak. And although the intelligence value has not changed, he always feels that his resistance to mental attacks has increased a lot. Simply put, the length has not changed, but the capacity has increased.
This made him eager to try "Carterfield's Book of Wisdom".
The result is still failure.
Su Xingyuan was not disappointed, after all, it was something he had expected. He put the book away and looked towards the portal that was being monitored.
How to sneak in? That is the problem.
Then I won't run away. Anyway, he has more than one or two troubles against him in the Hunter Association, so one more won't make much difference.
He jumped down lightly from the branch, walked up to a few guards in broad daylight, and greeted them with a smile.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
"Excuse me."
You can't kill him, but you can tie him up.
A moment later, Su Xingyuan left behind several guards who were tied together and crying silently, and walked into the door.
…
Before my eyes adjusted to the exceptionally bright light coming through the door, a child's voice rang out:
"Hey, are you a stranger from somewhere else?"
...Anyone?
Su Xingyuan looked towards the source of the sound.
There was a little boy with chocolate skin and black hair looking at him curiously, with a spear on his back that was a little too long for him. But unlike humans, he has goat-like horns on his head, his eyes are clean bright yellow, and his ears are pointed with several earrings on them.
And the most important thing is that Su Xingyuan did not see the red name and health bar above his head.
【Name: Ariel Kuli】
[Identity: Kuli Cub]
[Status: Normal]
A Kuli cub? Is there a tribe living behind this door?
According to his understanding, most of the strategies for conquering low-level worlds in the gate are to kill monsters mindlessly. How could such a harmless life form exist?
Sure enough, he should have a clearer understanding of the players' accident-prone physique.
Su Xingyuan calmly put away the Ding Feng Bo in his hand, without any remorse for deceiving a cub, and said, "I got lost here accidentally. The environment here is completely different from what I know. Can you tell me something about the situation here?"
Ariel was very alert and asked suspiciously, "But why were you holding a knife in your hand just now?"
Su Xingyuan: "I was scared, I used it to protect myself."
Ariel: "Why do you have a slight smell of blood that has been washed away by water?"
Su Xingyuan: "I just slapped a few big mosquitoes to death."
Ariel: "Why are your robes so heavy and strange?"
Su Xingyuan: "I have always had a cold body since I was a child. I am afraid of the wind, and I am also socially anxious and ashamed to see people."
Ariel was wary but not too wary, so he believed it.
He frowned and said, "You are too weak. What if you stay here and get eaten by wild beasts? Your knife is so short that it can't even pierce their skin."
"Besides, there's a big one coming here recently, and my parents told me not to go too deep into the jungle."
Su Xingyuan humbly asked for advice: "Then what should I do?"
Ariel thought for a moment and said, "Come back to the village with me first. We are all very kind people and will not leave you alone."
Su Xingyuan nodded, but was reserved about this matter.
Children are naive and don't understand how dirty the hearts of adults are, but that doesn't mean those adults are as kind to outsiders as they are.
After all, Su Xingyuan doesn't think that every hunter who enters the portal is a good person.
But now there were no monsters for him to fight, so he just let the situation develop freely.
"Besides me, have you seen other outsiders?"
On the way, Su Xingyuan asked.
"No." Ariel used a stick to push aside the branches that blocked his view. "We live deep in the jungle and deal with wild animals every day. We hardly ever see outsiders. You're the first person with such white skin that I've ever seen. Are you sick?"
They were indeed in a dense jungle, but most of the plants in it were things Xingyuan had never seen before, and they looked extremely tough.
While observing the plants, he answered Ariel's question nonchalantly: "Maybe I am really sick, a disease that cannot be cured."
Ariel: "..."
He hesitated to speak, feeling that this answer was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it, which made him feel uneasy.
Before he could express this thought, he heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from not far away:
“Ilu!!”
Ariel's expression suddenly changed: "It's Uncle Kunjia's voice!"
He threw down the small wooden stick he was using to explore the way and ran towards the source of the sound. His speed was a speed that a normal human could never have, like an agile cheetah.
Su Xingyuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He could not see the specific situation through the layers of branches and leaves, but he could see the location of the health bar.
The health bar usually stays about seven inches above the target's head. Conversely, seven inches below the health bar is the fatal weakness of most creatures, the head.
"Uncle Kunjia!"
Ariel finally arrived, and his pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the scene in front of him.
Kunjia's abdomen was pierced by a sharp plant thorn, and his right hand was twisted into an unnatural arc. He was looking at Yilu who was held in the mouth of a giant python in mid-air with bloodshot eyes.
Yilu gritted her teeth and swung the sharp spear in her hand towards the python's eyes, but because she couldn't keep her balance, the tip of her spear deviated and only hit its scales.
The python was angered by the slight pain and stopped playing with her. It raised its head and was about to swallow her.
"Sister Ilu!!"
Ariel's brain suddenly exploded, he pulled out the spear behind him, and was about to rush forward to fight the giant python!
Just when Yilu was about to fall into the giant python's mouth——
A breeze comes from afar.
It was as if a green bamboo leaf was slowly approaching, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment, without attracting the attention of any creature, including the giant python that had been living in the jungle.
However, it was not until the so-called bamboo leaves were right in front of people’s eyes in the blink of an eye that they could be discovered. They were not harmless bamboo leaves brought by the breeze.
It was clearly a sharp knife that was heading straight for the vital point, extremely sharp and without any hesitation!
Behind the flash of the knife, the pupils, which were more verdant than the scales of a giant python, reflected the scene before them clearly and coldly.
The next moment.
The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was heard.
Looking again, the giant python's head had been completely severed in half from its body.
