Chapter 63: The White Light Sphere

  As for that green arrow shadow, Su Hong had a very deep impression, because just recently, he saw with his own eyes a man who was even stronger than the polar bear being pierced through the throat and turned into a pool of highly toxic blood.

  And also, that green arrow shadow is not an arrow, but a real poisonous live snake.

  Although he didn't know why the snake man wanted to kill himself, Su Hong reacted in the first instance and made the most correct reaction. He didn't dodge at all, but instead took the initiative to attack, reaching out to grab the green shadow that was rushing towards his throat.

  "Hiss!"

  As a venomous snake hissed, the green shadow pierced Su Hong's palm in an instant. However, due to this, the snake's body, which was rushing forward, slowed down for a moment and was finally caught by Su Hong, who grabbed its seven inches with his other hand.

  "Huh? How did this little guy dodge it?" A hint of surprise flashed in the Snake Man's eyes. As a true Trial Strongman who had unlocked his heroic bloodline, he was very confident in his own powerful strength. Ordinary trial-takers were nothing but playthings to be slaughtered at will in his eyes. Few people could dodge his snake-like attacks, but just now, this blood-soaked guy in front of him had made the most correct reaction in an instant, using a tiny injury to offset the fatal attack. This kind of combat awareness and reaction ability was truly astonishing. Adding to Su Hong's previous crazy performance, it suddenly made the Snake Man put away his disdainful heart.

  But it was precisely for this reason that the snake man became even more determined to kill Su Hong. Originally, Su Hong was just a plaything in his eyes, but now he had seen the potential hidden within this plaything, and naturally wanted to eliminate any future troubles, lest Su Hong truly grow up, which would be asking for trouble.

  The snake-headed man revealed a charming smile, but his eyes were icy cold. He said in a light tone: "Interesting reptile, if I were you, I'd let go of my little pet quietly, otherwise..."

  The snake man's charming smile froze before he could finish speaking, and was thoroughly enraged by Su Hong's next action. Su Hong squeezed the poisonous snake in his hand to death without hesitation, and casually threw the completely limp snake body into the nearby volcanic lava, turning it into a wisp of green smoke.

  "What if not? Are you the one who provoked me first, and I'm not allowed to fight back?" Su Hong responded coldly, without any intention of backing down. Not to mention that the snake man already had murderous intentions towards him, even if he did back down, this matter would be impossible to resolve peacefully. Furthermore, even if the snake man was willing to let him off, Su Hong wasn't planning on begging for mercy, as that would be too humiliating and went against his character.

  "Haha, you have a personality, I like it, but you're looking for death!" The snake man lightly laughed and angrily struck out, his entire body instantly moving, transforming into a ghostly shadow, determined to flay the infuriating insect Su Hong alive.

  "Whoosh!"

  But at this moment, a powerful arrow shot onto the path in front of the snake man, stopping his further attacking movement.

  "Snake man, if you don't want to die, then behave yourself!" Xiang Yu frowned and coldly shouted, her hand holding the blue mang bow aiming at the snake man from a distance. A magical arrow was gathering in her hand, bursting with dazzling white light, brewing an earth-shattering blow.

  "Heh heh, consider yourself lucky, kid. But your luck won't last forever." The snake-headed man said in a low voice to Su Hong, then lifted his head and revealed an enchanting smile, spreading out his hands: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to offend you, it was just a momentary slip-up earlier."

  After finishing speaking, the snake man retreated a few steps, demonstrating his attitude with actual actions, obviously quite wary of that shrew and not wanting to conflict with her.

  "Whoa!" Su Hong's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he looked at Xiong Mei in the distance. A hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes. If it wasn't for Xiong Mei saving him earlier, he would have been in big trouble.

  However, Su Hong did not put his life and death entirely in the hands of Yan Yu's whim. If Yan Yu didn't stop him, Su Hong had already decided to self-destruct the power seed within his body. In that case, he would temporarily possess the full bloodline power of a Divine Spirit Warrior, and it was not impossible for him to have a head-on battle with Snake Man.

  If that's the case, then the seed of divine warrior power that he had painstakingly passed down would be completely abandoned, and it's likely that the bloodline of the divine warrior Hasker would never be passed down again. The loss is truly devastating.

  Fortunately, Xiao Yu was not as cold and unfeeling as she appeared on the surface, and she lent him a helping hand, helping him get through this difficult time.

  "Thanks for your help, Hanyu." Su Hong put away the blood-stained spear and walked to Hanyu's side, intending to express his sincere gratitude. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he regretted it. And unexpectedly, an arrow whizzed past his head, even more perilously than before. A few strands of hair fluttered down, and the exposed skin on his scalp sent waves of scorching pain.

  "Well, it seems that not speaking is the wisest choice." Su Hong rubbed his head and shook his head with a bitter smile.

  "It's fine if you know!" Han Yu coldly turned her head, and after thinking for a moment, she said without looking back: "You've offended the Snake Man, if you're smart, it's best not to leave my line of sight."

  "Alright, that girl..." Su Hong smiled slightly and wisely stopped there.

  ……

  As the Lava Worm tide was nearly exterminated, the occasional remaining Lava Worms also fled in a hurry, and this bloody battle finally came to an end.

  Apart from the three trial strongmen who didn't feel much, everyone else was exhausted and collapsed to the ground. Except for the newcomer Zeng Zhi Gao, all the other newcomers were brutally killed by the lava worm tide. Now, only veterans who had experienced at least one death week horror scenario remained in the field, knowing that more unknown dangers awaited them, they were all busy treating their own injuries.

  Su Hong was no exception, leaning against a lava rock wall, taking out a white gauze from his waist bag and casually wrapping up his right hand that had been pierced by the venomous snake. He didn't seem too worried, as although his right hand was temporarily disabled, he had already activated the Blood Revival skill, so all he needed to do was rest for a while, and once he could use the Blood Revival again, he would be able to heal his injured right hand.

  "Alright, break time's over. Let's get up and clean the battlefield!" Ice Blade stood up, clapped his hands, and commanded.

  At his invitation, Su Hong and others stood up, with an expectant look on their faces, walking towards that mountain-like pile of lava worm corpses. In the horror drama of death, killing monsters would drop equipment props and various attribute-assisted props. Although the lava worm was only the lowest-level monster in the Angry Flame Rift storyline, if they could drop some equipment props, they would make a big profit.

  But the bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment. The crowd was tossed about in the mountain-like lava worm corpses for a while, almost turning upside down, but ultimately ended up with nothing to show for it.

  "This drop rate is ridiculously low, we've killed at least a thousand lava worms and not a single thing has dropped!" The young man, Zeng Zhigao, sighed in frustration. After a series of setbacks, he finally came to his senses and realized that this was not just a virtual game of Monster World, but a brutal and bloody real fight, and the gaming experience he had accumulated was useless here.

  What's most important is that, unlike the ancient relic battlegrounds, when you die here, you're really dead, with no chance of revival. This also made him more subdued and he dared not to speak recklessly again.

  The crowd couldn't hide their disappointment, and just as the three Ice Blade warriors were getting impatient and preparing to urge everyone to continue onward, Zhang Qiang, who had undergone eighty rounds of Blood Energy Enhancement, suddenly burst out laughing and bent down to rummage through the lava worm corpses at his feet. After some effort, he finally managed to dig out a fist-sized white light orb from among them.

  All that was seen was the white light ball emitting a soft and gentle white glow, tightly wrapped around a spiritual leather lock fist sleeve, held high by Zhang Qiang in the palm of his hand, instantly absorbing everyone's gaze.
