Chapter 104 - Mysterious Expert! (1/2)

"So powerful!"

Everyone's hearts trembled. They were scared out of their wits and immediately retreated.

Although their speed was fast, the black-scaled snake's speed was even faster. Moreover, it was more than twice as fast.

With a sweep of its long tail, the trees were destroyed. A huge force smashed onto the bodies of the three martial artists, directly crushing their chests into the mud.

In the blink of an eye, it spat venom at the other figures.

"Ahh!"

They let out a miserable cry and were quickly corroded into dregs.

When the black-scaled snake fought, the venom it spat out could directly corrode creatures with low cultivation into dregs.

Normally, it would not easily use the venom. Instead, it would keep the corpses of its opponents as food.

However, today, it was extremely furious.

The leader's legs were trembling.

It was over!

It was over.

That d*mned intelligence report had really killed them.

That little black scaled snake was indeed at the transcendent level, but the intelligence report did not say that there was a big black scaled snake behind it!

That big black-scaled snake's cultivation had already reached the grandmaster level!

How was he supposed to play that game?

"Quickly retreat, as many as we can! We must spread the news of the situation here. We can't let any other humans enter rashly."

The leader shouted, and everyone received the order. They immediately turned into birds and scattered in all directions.

It was true that it was morally wrong to give up on one's companions.

However, it was in accordance with the Alliance's rules.

When the hiring company encountered a powerful star beast, they were allowed to escape.

If there were living people left behind, they could pass on the information, preventing the entire human race from suffering greater losses.

That was something that could not be helped. Humans were too weak. In order to survive, a portion of them had to be sacrificed.

Although the big black-scaled snake was very fast, facing the escaping martial artists, it was not able to chase them all at once.

That made it even angrier. Furthermore, all of that was a message sent by the human leader!

Hiss, Hiss, Hiss!

It took in a huge breath of spiritual energy and twisted its huge body. It immediately pushed aside a layer of the ground and pounced on the leader.

The leader stomped his feet and retreated rapidly.

However, how could his speed be compared to that of a grandmaster-level black-scaled snake?

He was only a Houtian ninth-grade martial artist!

The black-scaled snake closed in on him in an instant. Its huge body crushed everything in its path, causing the ground to start shaking.

A strong wind blew in all directions. The leader could even smell the black-scaled snake's fishy scent.

It was over.

At that moment, the leader had even unconsciously slowed down his footsteps.

When humans were in extreme despair, their bodies would no longer resist.

It was as if they had already accepted their fate.

However, at the same time that he was in despair, a figure wrapped in golden light suddenly appeared in front of him.

With a slight raise of his hand, a ten-thousand-foot-long sword light shot out.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire world was filled with white light, illuminating everything. It also caused the leader's consciousness to be swallowed into the darkness.

...

After an unknown amount of time, as if a century had passed, or as if an instant had passed, the leader felt a burning pain on his face.

"Captain, quickly wake up, quickly wake up."
