Chapter 186
“Not good!”
When Xiao Chen heard the strange sounds around him, he cursed in his heart. His cold face showed a rare trace of nervousness, but he quickly regained his composure.
Since the enemy beasts had come knocking on his door, there was no use in being nervous or afraid. It would not be of any use. Being nervous or afraid would only cause him to fall into a more dangerous situation, increasing the chances of death.
Scorpion-tailed Viper!
Xiao Chen sensed that the desolate beasts besieging him were fourth-grade desolate beasts called Scorpion-tailed Vipers. Furthermore, there were a lot of Scorpion-tailed Vipers this time. He estimated that there were no less than a hundred of them.
Scorpion-tailed Vipers, as the name implied, had the stinger of a scorpion and the body and brain of a viper. It was rumored that their ancestors were the crossbreed of a powerful viper spirit and a powerful poisonous scorpion spirit, resulting in this mysterious and strange species.
Vipers and poisonous scorpions were both highly poisonous creatures. When the two were combined, it was a combination of the strong. The toxicity had reached a horrifying level.
If a normal person were to be bitten by a Scorpion-tailed Viper’s venomous fangs and stinger at the same time, it would be equivalent to death. In less than half an hour, they would die an unnatural death.
Scorpion-tailed Vipers were highly poisonous, but they could not harm humans or beasts. Naturally, they were not a threat because they were very small in size. They were only as thick as a wrist and two feet long. However, because of their small size, it was impossible to guard against them. The highly poisonous Scorpion-tailed Vipers had inherited the unparalleled movement and attack speed of a viper.
Highly poisonous and speedy was the reason why Xiao Chen’s expression changed. Xiao Chen was not afraid of huge and ferocious desolate beasts, but he was a little wary of small desolate beasts like Scorpion-tailed Vipers. If there were only a few of them, he could still kill them easily. The key was that there were too many of them. Furthermore, they were in a grassland environment that was not conducive to Xiao Chen’s battle.
“Whew!”
“Peng!”
Although it was a dark night, Xiao Chen’s perception was extremely strong. He knew how many Scorpion-tailed Vipers there were. While running, he suddenly changed direction and rushed to the left. His wooden sword was radiating with Desolate Force. It was dazzling like a peerless treasure sword. With a thunderous momentum, it swept towards the weeds in front of him.
“Hiss!”
In front of him, there was a scream that sounded like a snake’s hiss. He could vaguely see a few desolate beasts that looked like snakes but weren’t snakes, scorpions but weren’t scorpions. They were sent flying by the powerful wooden sword. What was surprising was that they didn’t seem to be completely dead. After falling into the grass, after a while, they dragged their half-dead bodies towards Xiao Chen without fear of death.
The Grade Four Scorpion-Tailed Viper’s defense was actually so strong!
Although Xiao Chen had not attacked with his full strength, he had used at least 70% of his strength. With the augmentation of the Desolates Force and Desolates Sword, the power of that strike was already extremely terrifying. Yet, it had not instantly killed the tiny Scorpion-tailed Viper?
“Die!”
Xiao Chen seemed to have anticipated this situation. His expression did not change as he stomped his feet on the ground and ran even faster. The powerful wooden sword was like a black dragon dancing wildly, smashing towards the dozens of Scorpion Tail Vipers around him. It was as if he was going to sweep through the world.
“Boom! Boom!
Boom! “Wherever the wooden sword passed, the wild grass and soil would explode. The nearby Scorpion-tailed Vipers were all sent flying. It was like a rain of strange snakes. If a mortal saw this, they would definitely feel their scalp tingling. They would be so scared that they would run for their lives.
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen’s attack was effective. He no longer lingered in the battle. His body shot up and jumped over the area where the Scorpion-tailed Vipers were sitting. He then fled into the distance.
Xiao Chen was clearly at a disadvantage when fighting Scorpion-tailed Vipers in such a lush grassland. He had to run to a bare and spacious area so that he could fight freely. Otherwise, if he was slightly careless, he would be bitten by a Scorpion-tailed Viper. It would be difficult for Xiao Chen to suppress the Scorpion-tailed Viper’s venom with his current strength.
“Hiss!”
Hundreds of Scorpion-tailed Vipers raised their triangular heads, opened their scarlet mouths, and flicked their black tongues. They made a cold hissing sound. Their scorpion tails were raised high into a semicircle, ready to attack the enemy at any time.
The group of Scorpion-tailed Vipers were injured by Xiao Chen. Their ferocious nature was completely aroused. How could they let Xiao Chen go?
“Whew!”
The Scorpion-tailed Vipers nimbly bounced up, flying diagonally one foot above the ground. Their bodies swayed quickly, flying a distance of one and a half feet in the night sky. Then, they lightly landed on the dense grass. Using the force, they bounced up again and chased after Xiao Chen. Their speed was actually not slower than Xiao Chen’s!
Dancing Vipers!
Xiao Chen was in big trouble. It didn’t feel good to be chased by a group of Scorpion-tailed Vipers. Once he was poisoned, his speed would definitely be reduced, and his life might be in danger.
Xiao Chen might have been having a bad time recently. A month ago, he was almost chased by the experts of the Asura Tribe. Now, he was being chased by a group of ugly and disgusting Scorpion-tailed Vipers. It was a bit of a tragedy.
Run!
Run!
Run!
Other than running, Xiao Chen carried the yellow dog in his left hand and the wooden sword in his right hand as he ran for his life. He could stop and release the God’s Bestowment to fight with the group of Scorpion-tailed Vipers, but the Scorpion-tailed Vipers’ attack speed was too fast. He couldn’t take the risk. It wasn’t that he was afraid of death, but he couldn’t die because his life was related to the lives of the yellow dog and his grandfather, Xiao Batian.
Xiao Chen had another worry. He was worried that there would be more Scorpion-tailed Vipers coming after hearing the commotion. There were only a hundred of them now. If there were a thousand or ten thousand of them, Xiao Chen didn’t even need to run. He could only fight to the death, and the result would definitely be miserable. He would be bitten to death by the thousands of vipers.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle!”
Just as Xiao Chen was thinking, the same strange sound as before suddenly came from the bushes in the distance. It was obvious that the Scorpion-tailed Vipers were shooting toward Xiao Chen like lightning, intending to share a delicious meal of human flesh.
“Motherf * cker!”
Xiao Chen could not help but curse. His face was no longer calm, because he felt that there were countless Scorpion-tailed Vipers surrounding him quickly. He suspected that this huge basin was a huge snake nest, and he just so happened to jump into the nest of the vipers without knowing what was going on.
That wasn’t right. When the yellow dog was still alive, not a single Scorpion-tailed Viper dared to approach him. It seemed like Scorpion-tailed Vipers were creatures that bullied the weak and feared the strong. When he thought of the problem, Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up.
“Release the God’s Bestowment!”
Xiao Chen released his mysterious God’s Bestowment without any hesitation. Ever since he knew that his God’s Bestowment wasn’t the Berserk Transformation God’s Bestowment, he didn’t treat his God’s Bestowment as the Berserk Transformation God’s Bestowment. He didn’t even mention the word ‘berserk’ when he released his God’s Bestowment.
After a moment, Xiao Chen’s aura soared, and his cultivation increased by four levels. He temporarily changed from the third level of the White Tiger Realm to the first level of the Purple Elephant Realm. His entire body burst out with black light, and even his height increased.
“Roar!”
Xiao Chen stared with his blood-red and emotionless eyes as he coldly scanned the surroundings. Immediately after, he let out an earth-shattering roar that was similar to the roar of The Lion King. The roar contained some Desolation Force and incomparable killing intent, and it was like a wave that rippled in all directions.
Silence!
After the roar, the entire basin quietened down. The hissing and scuttling sounds of the Scorpion-tailed Vipers suddenly disappeared. Other than the sound of the wind blowing through the bushes, there was no other sound.
As expected!
Suddenly, the extremely powerful Xiao Chen intimidated the group of Scorpion-tailed Vipers and didn’t dare to act rashly. However, would this matter be resolved so easily?
Could this huge crisis be completely resolved with a single roar?
The answer was no!
