“Slave?” Hearing the snake-man’s words, the wild wolf felt a surge of dizziness and anger, his face twisting with fury.
Who the hell is the slave here? Can’t you see the human is walking in front, and I’m the one following behind?
Although the wild wolf was truly afraid of Lu Yu.
However, this does not mean that other lives can casually give him advice or comments.
The black wolf was very impolite, placing its front paws on the ground and said with a murderous aura, “From the Blood Snake Clan, what do you mean by ‘not bad’? Are you mocking me?”
More than ten snake people noticed that Black Wolf’s tone was off, and only then did they realize that the relationship between Lu Yu and the wild wolves seemed to be somewhat unusual.
“Haha!”
More than ten snake people all burst into laughter.
A snake man laughed loudly and sneered, “Black Wolf, you’re truly disgracing your Black Wolf clan. Since that incident, when have we ever bowed our heads to humans? Have you forgotten everything the humans have done to us? Our ancestors were driven out of their homes by them, and then they turned those homes into places of trials and treasures, coming and going as they pleased.”
Speaking, the snake person stared coldly at Lu Yu and said, “You actually bowed to a human. Have you truly lost your mind?”
“The Black Wolf Clan may not kill you, but we will.” A snake person stepped forward, his serpentine body slithering on the ground as he lunged toward the black wolf.
“Kill me? Do you have the qualification to do so!” The black wolf was not willing to back down either, and with a fierce howl, he lunged forward.
The moment the two sides met, each had already torn a piece of flesh from their opponent.
In an instant, the black wolf and the snake warrior became bloodthirsty, completely disregarding everything around them.
Lu Yu ignored the battle between the snake man and the black wolf, instead fixing his gaze on the top of the ruins.
“Buzz!”
The ruins suddenly began to tremble. From the very top of the ruins, a beam of light shot forth.
In an instant, a rain-like shower of red light radiated outward, covering a radius of dozens of miles across the land.
“Hurry, hurry and collect them!” More than ten snake people immediately started using their hands or various tools to catch the radiant lights scattering in all directions.
One of Lu Yu’s hands received a bit of radiant light, and from that light, he immediately sensed a different kind of power.
“It’s a skill!” Lu Yu’s expression was shaken as he looked toward the crater.
More than ten snake people were ecstatically reaching for these radiant lights.
Every glimmer of light represents a very small part of a skill.
No wonder these people want to take over.
As long as the light can be continued and gathered together, there is a possibility of forming a skill.
This is a place where the king has visited several times.
How could the things he left behind be too bad?
At this moment, even Lu Yu was moved.
These glows appeared quickly and vanished just as fast.
Within less than ten seconds, all the radiant lights vanished like extinguished flames.
Meanwhile, over a dozen snake people had preserved nearly a hundred points of starlight.
They carefully gathered the radiant light together and then placed it into their backpacks.
“Human, give me what you’ve picked up!” A serpent man hissed, crawling up to Lu Yu in a domineering manner and coldly extending his hand.
Lu Yu also had more than a dozen points of radiant light in his hands; however, he didn’t have a container to hold them, and the lights were about to explode and vanish.
However, even from the tiny fragments that Lu Yu read, he already felt that this skill was incredibly powerful.
He carefully observed the radiance until it faded away, imprinting that moment vividly in his mind.
“The Dual King’s Talent activates—”
“Copy ability activate—”
“Unknown ability replication in progress, completion progress – one ten-thousandth!”
…
Lu Yu saw strings of text flickering before his eyes, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
“You wretched human! Didn’t you hear me just now when I told you to give me the radiant light?” The serpent man saw Lu Yu standing there like a fool, smiling blankly, clearly having not heard a word he had said.
The snake man angrily twisted his serpentine body forward, gliding two more steps closer until he was almost touching Lu Yu. He stared directly at Lu Yu with cold eyes and said in a chilling voice, “I’m talking to you. Can you hear me?”
The snake person raised its serpentine body from the waist up, towering over Lu Yu, as if questioning and commanding him at the same time.
Lu Yu didn’t even glance at the snake man, instead turning his gaze toward the ruins formed into a volcano, muttering to himself, “With such radiant light erupting, what exactly is inside that crater?”
Lu Yu ignored the snake man, which only made the snake man even angrier.
The snake man stood upside down on his hands, his eyes glaring as he coldly said, “I’m deaf, can’t you hear me?”
The snake man spoke, and with the five fingers of his hand, he tightly gripped Lu Yu’s shoulder, exerting all his strength as if he were about to tear Lu Yu’s arm off.
He hadn’t yet fully exerted his strength when Lu Yu’s hand had already pressed onto the snake-man’s hand and gently twisted it outward.
Snap!
The serpent man’s arms twisted at bizarre angles, bending backward until bone spurs pierced through the arms.
“You—” the serpent man exclaimed in terror.
He realized that he had no power to resist when he was near this human.
“Climb up.” Lu Yu’s right hand moved sharply, and the blade of carnage swept across the snake person’s broken arm with incredible speed.
“Ahh!” the snake man screamed, not expecting the human to be so ruthless, actually attacking without hesitation.
The surrounding snake people were slightly taken aback.
The snake person reacted the fastest, lunging toward Lu Yu.
Lu Yu turned around and slashed his sword, cleaving the snake-man from head to tail, splitting him in two.
The snake-like body collapsed to both sides, blood and internal organs spilling onto the ground.
All the surrounding snake people came to a halt.
“Hand over the backpack along with all its contents!” Lu Yu extended his hand without hesitation, his cold gaze sweeping across the snake people’s faces.
The snake people who had been fighting the black wolf stopped.
The Black Wolf gazed coldly at the Serpent Man and said, “Do you see now? His power is beyond your imagination. He once dragged a hundred-and-fifty-foot Fire蛟Dragon onto the shore and beheaded it as easily as killing a chicken. Do you really think your group stands a chance against him?”
You can never imagine the kind of overwhelming power that almost stops your heart unless you’ve witnessed Lu Yu slaying the Fire蛟龙 (Fire Dragon).
“W-what? Even the Fire蛟 Dragon has been slain!”
“The Fire蛟龙 survives in flames; his blood is no less hot than molten lava. If his blood splashes onto someone, it can ignite flesh and blood alike. He—”
Several snake people were incredibly shocked.
They looked at Lu Yu and only then noticed that he was actually walking barefoot on this land.
“Resistance to fire?”
“In this land, he can fully unleash one hundred percent of his strength.”
The snake people whispered among themselves, too frightened to move a muscle!
Lu Yu pointed his sword at the snake-man with the broken arm and said coldly, “You go up.”
“No, it’s impossible to go up there. No one knows how many dangers lie ahead. You’re sending me to my death!” The snake-man with the severed arm shook his head, as the cold blade had already pierced through his chest.
Lu Yu pulled back his long sword and threw the snake-man’s corpse into the cold storage space, saying coldly, “I’m not going. Even if it means death now.”
The remaining snake people didn’t expect Lu Yu to be so ruthless. Instinctively, they all stepped back, wanting to flee.
“If you dare take another step back, I’ll take your lives!”
Lu Yu spoke again, pointing the tip of his sword at a snake-man and ordering, “You go up there!”
“Me? Me?” The snake-man was ice-cold all over, trembling as he looked up at the ruins above, where several corpses had already been reduced to mere bone fragments.
If they could go up, would they still receive the glory from below?
The snake person’s heart was pierced before he could even hesitate, and his body was retrieved by Lu Yu before it could collapse to the ground.
Lu Yu’s sword tip moved to point at another snake person.
“Go? I’ll go!”
The serpent man immediately cried out and climbed up towards the ruins.
Lu Yu stared at the snake man, keeping a close watch on any reactions around him.
The snake man climbed very slowly, and there was no reaction during the first dozen or so steps.
However, the higher the snake man climbed, the drier his scales and skin became.
When he reached the position where Yuanmo had died, it was the thirty-fifth step.
The snake man suddenly let out a piteous scream; flames erupted from his five orifices, his eyes exploded on the spot, and his entire body caught fire.
The remaining snake man trembled all over, even more terrified than before.
Indeed, there’s something strange about this mountain; going up there is certain death.
Indeed, every item left behind by Wang was something they could not easily touch.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then frowned and pierced his fingertip, flicking a drop of blood toward one of the snake men. He coldly said, “Take this drop of my blood and go back up.”
“You… you’re sending me to my death!” The snake man held the drop of blood, not understanding Lu Yu’s intention, and gritted his teeth, saying, “If it’s just rushing up there to die, I’d rather fight you instead.”
Lu Yu’s sword was instantly at the throat of the snake-man. He said in a deep voice: “I’ll give you a chance. Take another thirty-five steps, and if you’re still alive, you can come back. Otherwise, I’ll kill you now, and you won’t have the slightest hope!”
The snake man looked desperately at his companions and found that not one of them dared to speak.
The snake man held this drop of blood and walked towards the ruins.
His pace was slow, and when he stepped onto the fifteenth step, surprisingly, his body did not experience any problem of drying up.
The Snake Person’s heart leaped with joy. He tightly gripped the blood in his hand, sensing that this drop of blood was extraordinary—it was emitting waves of warm energy, counteracting the cold from the outside.
Boom!
Suddenly—
The aura of a serpent humanoid standing before the ruins suddenly changed.
The serpent man’s eyes flickered with lightning, and his muscles and bones emitted a series of crackling sounds as he began to grow taller.
In the span of a few breaths, the snake person transformed into a giant nearly ten feet tall, and his power had also increased to nearly one hundred and fifty zuns!
At the same time, the serpent warrior’s power began to surge dramatically. Not only was the lower half of his body, the serpent’s form, covered in scales, but scales were now beginning to spread across his upper human torso as well. His eyes shimmered with a deep blue glow as he arrogantly looked down upon the surrounding serpent warriors and coldly said, “How is the collection of light essence coming? If you haven’t gathered it all before my return, just wait for me to skin you alive!”
The snake person, towering in height, swept its gaze around and instantly fixed it on Lu Yu. “There’s a human,” it said.
The serpentine giant, over ten feet tall, had a flash of blood-red light in his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his hand and reached toward Lu Yu, snarling, “Heh, the taste of human flesh is endlessly delicious!”
Boom!
His hand was like a large palm leaf fan, capable of completely enclosing Lu Yu’s hand within its grasp.
“Ancestor Spirit Possession!” Lu Yu merely glanced at it, and he immediately understood that the strength of this snake humanoid, over ten feet tall, had already surpassed three hundred Dragon Lords.
Among the same species, higher-level beings can control lower-level beings.
Moreover, when controlling from a distance, one can also transfer a portion of their power and soul into a member of their own species.
The giant hand pressed down by the snake person was swept by a sword beam and severed at the wrist.
“Oh!”
The snake-man, towering over ten feet tall, roared, “Human, do you seek death? How dare you wound me!”
“I want to kill you now!” Lu Yu leaped forward, thrusting his sword into the snake-man’s abdomen and twisting it upward, shattering the snake-man’s heart.
“Ahh!” The snake-man, who was a head taller, never expected that due to his own carelessness, his spirit-attached body would actually be destroyed by a human. His eyes fixed on Lu Yu in fury as he roared, “Human, I’ll remember you. Don’t think you can leave this Red Flame Land; I will find you.”
At the moment of its death, the snake humanoid, towering over ten feet tall, seemed to have all its strength condensed into one final blow. The power of its descending palm strike surpassed that of three hundred beings, and it continued to rise relentlessly!
“What, more than three hundred!” Lu Yu was greatly shocked. As the wild wolf had said, a leader-level powerful being had entered.
Moreover, there is an even more mysterious enemy who has not yet made an appearance!
