Chapter 120
Liu Ruyue and the other three escaped safely under Xiao Chen’s protection. They waited for a long time but didn’t see Xiao Chen’s figure, so they were very anxious.
Liu Ruyue was worried about Xiao Chen’s safety. She wanted to rush in to look for Xiao Chen several times, but she held back in the end because she couldn’t help Xiao Chen with her strength. Instead, she would become a burden to Xiao Chen.
“Should we send a distress signal?” Zhao Yuhan pulled Liu Ruyue’s arm and asked with a pale face.
Liu Ruyue glanced at Zhao Yuhan and did not reply. Instead, she turned her head to look at Zhu Geming, who had a grave expression on his face. She said solemnly, “Xiao Chen, we must obtain the Dragon Heart Grass. We must become the champion. Zhu Geming, if one of the four of us sends out the signal flare, does that count as an individual or as a whole team?”
“It should be an individual.” Zhu Geming thought for a moment and answered.
Liu Ruyue’s face lit up and she asked, “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure. In the previous Big Hunting Match, several people encountered danger and sent the signal flare, announcing their withdrawal from the Big Hunting Match. However, in the end, the average score of the five people was still counted.”
Zhu Geming answered seriously. He had participated in two Big Hunting Matches and was naturally very familiar with the rules of the Big Hunting Match.
“That’s good. We will wait for another 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, if Xiao Chen still hasn’t appeared, I will send the signal flare?
The Dragonheart Grass is important, but Xiao Chen’s life is more important! “Liu Ruyue made the final decision carefully.
Zhu Geming, Xu Da, and Zhao Yuhan exchanged glances. Then, they nodded solemnly at Liu Ruyue.
“Xiao Chen, don’t let anything happen to you. Ruyue is waiting for you. Ruyue … needs you.”
Liu Ruyue looked worriedly at the direction of the forest where they escaped from and murmured in her heart.
…
In the depths of the forest, a gigantic Heaven Devouring Python was rolling on the ground. Countless trees were destroyed by it and fell to the ground one after another. Soil and rocks flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.
A black figure that was extremely tiny compared to the Sky-Devouring Giant Python was leaping and flickering around it, waiting for an opportunity to reach its head and deal a fatal blow.
The black figure was naturally Xiao Chen. At that moment, Xiao Chen had been trying to get close to the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s head. However, the struggling Sky-Devouring Giant Python was too violent, and he couldn’t get close at all. Instead, he was sent flying twice.
“This is the moment!”
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and glinted fiercely. He realized that the Sky-Devouring Giant Python wasn’t as violent as before. It seemed to be gradually recovering. Xiao Chen knew that this was the best opportunity, and it wouldn’t last for long. Therefore, he quickly rushed towards the direction of the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s head. His figure was ghostly and extremely fast.
Although the Sky-Devouring Giant Python was severely injured, it could still feel Xiao Chen approaching. At that moment, it hated Xiao Chen to the core. It was still rolling slowly and suddenly turned its head to face Xiao Chen. The snake’s face, which was missing an eye and covered in green beast blood, became even more ferocious and terrifying.
“Hiss!”
It stared at Xiao Chen with a murderous look in its single eye. Then, it opened its huge mouth and bit towards Xiao Chen. Its speed had reached its limit. Obviously, the excruciating pain had made it completely crazy. It swore that it wouldn’t rest until it killed Xiao Chen.
“Swish!”
Xiao Chen also went crazy. Instead of retreating, he advanced and did not change his direction. He had the illusion that he had run into the snake’s mouth.
How can you catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den?
When the two of them were less than ten meters apart, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Chen’s mouth. His left hand flashed in a strange way, and a pitch-black short sword appeared in his hand.
“I’ll send you to hell!”
Xiao Chen crazily injected his Power of Desolates into the black short sword. Suddenly, the black short sword emitted a beam of light and a majestic aura appeared. The ordinary fifth-grade Desolate Sword became a powerful weapon after it was activated by the Power of Desolates.
“Whew!”
The fifth-grade Desolate Sword was swung by Xiao Chen and changed into a terrifying stream of light. It shot straight at the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s bloody mouth that was ten feet away.
When the Sky-Devouring Giant Python saw the stream of light, a deep fear appeared in one of its eyes. It desperately tried to dodge but it was too late to dodge at such a close distance. It didn’t even have time to close its mouth. The fifth-grade Desolate Sword instantly shot into its mouth.
“Ao —”
After the powerful fifth-grade Desolate Sword shot into the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s mouth, it flew into its throat and pierced deep into the weakest part of its throat.
Moments later, the Sky-Devouring Giant Python let out a shrill beast roar. However, its head continued to charge at Xiao Chen.
Indiscriminate destruction!
The Sky-Devouring Giant Python hissed in pain. Its single eye flashed with a deep-seated hatred. It was determined to drag the hateful human in front of it to death with it.
“I’m going all out!
Kill! ”
Xiao Chen could not avoid it. At this moment, he looked like he had gone crazy. His eyes were blood red and his black hair was flying. His expression was ferocious and his aura was raised to the extreme. The muscles on his hands bulged and his blood vessels expanded. He had long prepared his sword. With lightning speed, he slashed at the bloody mouth of the Sky-Devouring Giant Python.
“Bang!”
With a loud noise, the wooden sword slammed into the Giant Python’s mouth. Almost at the same time, the Giant Python’s head also slammed into Xiao Chen’s body. Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s small body was knocked away by the Python’s head. He fell dozens of feet away and then smashed into the dark bushes without a sound.
“Ao Ao!”
The Sky-Devouring Giant Python, which had been fatally injured in succession, continued to let out shrill screams. Its huge body kept rolling and its huge head slammed into the surrounding trees. Its snake tail whipped the ground and swept everything in its way. Like a huge fountain, blood gushed out from the broken mouth of the snake. It instantly formed a small stream nearby and dyed a large area of soil red. It was shocking to see and the smell of blood permeated the entire forest.
“Rumble!”
Countless towering trees were destroyed by the dying Sky-Devouring Giant Python and fell. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and the fallen trees were instantly smashed into pieces by the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s body.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the struggling Sky-Devouring Giant Python finally slowed down. Finally, it stopped rolling and twisting, and died.
Silence!
At this moment, the depths of the forest, which was still and full of explosions, was completely quiet. Everything seemed to be calm. However, after the battle, what was left of the Black Forest were potholes, trees and sawdust, wild beast corpses, and the smell of blood.
Xiao Chen did not get up. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. He was hidden in the lush bushes.
The powerful Sky-Devouring Giant Python could not be more dead. The fifth-grade Desolate Sword’s attack had already determined its death.
“En …”
It was unknown how much time had passed. It seemed like two hours, but it also seemed like only one hour. There was a slight groan from the bushes that Xiao Chen had smashed into, breaking the silence of the Black Forest.
Xiao Chen was still alive!
It seemed that Xiao Chen was not fated to die. He desperately killed the Sky-Devouring Giant Python, which was much stronger than him, and finally survived. Although the battle was not very long, it was extremely dangerous. A little carelessness and Xiao Chen would be killed by the Sky-Devouring Giant Python. However, in the end, Xiao Chen won by a narrow margin.
It was unknown how serious Xiao Chen’s injury was.
It would be revealed soon.
