Chapter 247 - Who Dares to Kill Me?! (2/2)

The two-headed snake’s voice was grim and gruff. It echoed in the space as if lulling its listeners.

Zhu Hongying had managed to run far away, but she could still hear the horrid voice. The fog around her had turned into steam as the temperature steadily risen.

What power!

Could it be that the area around them would become hell?

How much pressure did Insect Prime have to face in such proximity to the two-headed snake?

If she was right, Chong Daqing was still an adolescent child. How cruel to let it face such fear alone?

Her footfalls slowed slightly when Ma Da hollered at her, “Big sis, it’s no use running back. We need to call the Venerable Dragon God!”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier!” Zhu Hongying grumbled subconsciously and quickly got her phone out.

Ma Da muttered, “I saw Lord Insect Prime talking to the Venerable One on Wechat, so I thought he’d be here soon.”

Just as Zhu Hongying was about to send the message, a flash of light cut through the fog and left behind a trail of clear sky.

“Big sis, you don’t need to send any more, I think the hero is here.” Lu Er finally found a chance to highlight her own presence. ‘I need to do something, or big sis would not say anything good for me when we get back…’

…

“Great green dragon, you actually don’t need to come all the way over here. You said you want to see how it looks like before you could decide if it’s edible. I could have killed it and sent you a picture or something. I have an inherited technique that I’m sure is able to kill it in one shot,” said the great green insect.

Fang Ning was speechless. Chong Daqing had always pretended to be better than it actually is. However, it was quite loyal to its friends.

He had seen the insect through the System View. It was visibly shaking, but it still forced itself to stay and not run away. It seemed like it was worried that the three women could not run far enough to get caught up by the snake.

‘I don’t know why, but aside from Zhu Hongying who we’ve met plenty of times, the other two looked familiar too, it was like they were guys?’

Fang Ning stopped ruminating on this tiny detail. He was lazy to check the information on the game book, so he relaxed and watched as the System acted out its bravado.

Vigilante A blocked in front of the great green insect.

The great green insect was moved as it saw that happen…

‘The great green dragon was such a good friend. I’m guessing he could tell I was bluffing but he didn’t expose me. He even stood in front of me to block the attack for me. He really is a good dragon…’

Chong Daqing was flustered. At that moment, it was as if it saw its own father’s big, strong silhouette standing in front of it, telling it that it should learn to sow the seeds of the fruits it wants.

“You sinful varmint! You have eaten a whole country, your sin is unforgivable. And you dare to boast about your sin without shame and attempted to confuse the people! I shall comply with the will of the people and execute the punishment of Heaven and slaughter you!”

‘The great green dragon is so mighty!’

The green insect’s eyes sparkled. Hiding behind the great green dragon had never felt so safe before.

“Heheh, don’t be so dramatic. Vigilante A, I have heard of you. I know of your might and that you have an inhuman combat strength. Among the ones who carried the title of God of Wars in the Upper Realm, I haven’t seen anyone who could have beaten you.”

The two-headed snake did not seem even a little scared, but it also did not seem furious, as it maintained a calm expression.

Having listened up to this point, the great green insect nodded heavily. It had seen the great green dragon transform and killed hundreds of Pond-level beasts with one attack when it was still a Pond-level.

The two-headed snake looked scary, but it still would tell the truth.

“But dare you to kill me? Can you?” The two-headed snake cackled to other people’s confusion.

Vigilante A said calmly, “Your crime is punishable by death, why don’t I dare to kill you? Today next year shall be your first death anniversary!”

“Hahah!” The two-headed snake continued to snicker as it said, “Looks like you’re strong, but not smart enough! I shall tell you then. The human culture here is so rich, they not only gave me ideas to spread fear, they also allowed me to find plenty of ways to preserve my life. For example, the Wallfacers in the Three-Body Problem 1 …” The two-headed snake spat out the last few words one by one.

Following that, it shifted, causing its thousand-meter torso to quiver. The entire volcano began shaking as it did so, accompanied by loud bangs and debris shooting upward into the sky.

The System said, “What is this retard trying to do? Even though the Body-Sword Unity technique was in cooldown for a whole month, I have plenty of ways to vanquish it. It was only at the peak of Lake-level, it would only take me a little more time.”

Fang Ning, however, got it immediately. He stopped the System and said, “Dammit, this pest is as evil as anyone could get! Don’t do anything rash, it might have annexed itself to the live volcano!”

The System said, “I don’t understand. Richie, you’ve got to explain it to me.”

Fang Ning said, “It mentioned the novel the Three-Body Problem as well as the Wallfacers. Their consensus was to force the Trisolarans to not attack by threatening to perish together.”

The System said, confused, “Is it that powerful? The Earth is huge. I don’t think it could destroy the Earth with its current power. One needs to be at least an Ocean-level before one can shatter planets.”

Fang Ning’s imagination was more active, he guessed, “It might have attached its body with the base of the volcano. We are at the Ring of Fire. It must have made some arrangements that if it dies, the whole Ring of Fire would explode alongside it. The Earth might not be shattered, but the volcanic ash in the atmosphere will obscure the sunlight, and then the world as we know it will end. More than ninety percent of the creatures would be decimated.”

The System could not respond.

The two-headed snake laughed loudly the moment it saw Vigilante A being silent for an extended amount of time. “Ha ha ha! Now, do you know my power? So what if you’re the best in combat? So what if you’re the god of war? So what if you’re the mightiest of all? Who dares to kill me?! I am the planet’s source of fear!”
