Chapter 6 Second-Tier Magical Beast, Azure-Scaled Wind Serpent, Master, Run!
"Tsk, someone from Douluo Continent, huh?"
Lin Feng gently blew on his tea, a playful smile curving his lips. "Yu Xiaogang? Tang San? Bibi Dong?"
"That's a familiar name."
"I never expected that after so many years of seclusion, the system would cause such a big commotion and even connect these two dimensions."
Looking at Yu Xiaogang in his system's exclusive screen, who was half-dead from being scared by a Tier 1 Inferno Grey Wolf and questioning his existence amidst the ruins, Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
"The name 'fantasy floor tiles' is indeed well-deserved."
"Trying to challenge BTTH with only level 29 soul power? Any mercenary group here could easily crush you with the quality of their internal fighting qi."
"But this is quite amusing."
Just as Lin Feng put down his teacup, a long-lost mechanical notification sound suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Ding!]
[The portal to the heavens has been detected; the new dimension, Douluo Continent, has been accessed!]
The Strongest Sect System is currently being updated.
[Congratulations, host! The system has been upgraded to: The Many Children, Many Blessings System!]
[Main Quest Unlocked: In this live broadcast across the heavens, showcase your sect's strength, recruit the chosen one from the Douluo Continent, and expand the Heavenly Palace!]
[Rewards: Depend on the host's performance and the quality of the characters recruited!]
Upon hearing the system's voice, the light in Lin Feng's eyes deepened even further.
"Does having many children bring many blessings?"
"It seems this leisurely retirement life is coming to an end."
After speaking, Lin Feng slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, and looked through the clouds, seemingly gazing into the distance.
He is currently at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, only one step away from the legendary Dou Di.
In this era of scarce primordial energy, he is the uncrowned king of this world.
Soul Emperor? Gu Yuan?
In his eyes, with the system's rewards, they were nothing more than slightly larger grasshoppers.
But if I could win over a few goddesses from another world, adding some color to this boring, invincible life, and also break through to a higher level, that would be pretty good.
After all, there's a Great Ruler Plane above.
...
Meanwhile, above the sky...
With the deaths of the two, the remaining three found themselves in an increasingly difficult situation.
Apart from Yu Xiaogang, who was still barely clinging to life, and Li Si, the Star Luo soldier who was still trembling in the military camp and dared not move.
All eyes were on the person with the least chance of survival.
Yu Xiaogang.
He was struggling to climb out of the pile of rocks and pulled out a piece of dried meat from his pocket to replenish his strength.
Unbeknownst to him, on the treetop above his head, a lush green snake, only as thick as a finger, exuding the aura of a Battle Master, was silently flicking its tongue, coldly staring at his neck.
The scene was very quiet, with only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
Yu Xiaogang was leaning against a rock with difficulty, clutching the hard, dry piece of meat tightly in his hand, panting heavily.
That blow not only shattered his ribs, but also shattered his pride as a master.
"Damn it, damn it!"
He muttered curses under his breath as he tried to put the jerky into his mouth with trembling hands.
However, at that very moment...
"Hiss--"
The leaves overhead seemed to tremble very slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the emerald green venomous snake that had been lurking for so long moved!
Its name is Azure Scaled Wind Serpent, a genuine second-tier magical beast with strength comparable to a human Battle Master!
In the world of BTTH, Dou Shi can transform their Dou Qi gauze robes into Dou Qi armor, resulting in a qualitative leap in both defense and explosive power. Although this snake has no armor, its speed is as fast as lightning!
Call out!
In the live stream, viewers could only see a green afterimage flash by; its trajectory was too fast for the naked eye to track.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp snapping sound came from Yu Xiaogang's right wrist, where he was holding the jerky—the sound of bone being instantly bitten through!
"Ah!!!"
Yu Xiaogang let out a scream, and the jerky in his hand fell to the ground.
Then, he looked at his wrist in horror, where two deep, bottomless holes had appeared, and the flesh around the wounds was turning black at a visible speed, emitting a nauseating stench.
Highly poisonous!
It is even several times more potent than the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
...
Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.
Seeing the blurry green shadow on the screen and Yu Xiaogang collapsing and convulsing instantly, everyone felt a sudden tightness in their chests.
The one who reacted most strongly was Tang San.
This genius, who possesses memories of two lifetimes, is skilled in the Tang Clan's unique techniques, and considers himself invincible among his peers, is now standing frozen in place.
His eyes had already activated the Purple Demon Eye, their purple light gleaming as he tried to capture the snake's movements.
But the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he staggered back three steps as if his spine had been removed, almost falling to the ground.
"How...how could it be so fast..."
In his mind, he possessed the Purple Demon Eye, which allowed him to observe things with keen insight.
It also possesses the ability to move with unpredictable and mysterious movements, and its pair of jade hands are immune to all poisons.
However, just a moment ago, he found himself in a state of self-doubt.
"I can't see it! Even when I fully activate my Purple Demon Eye, I can only barely see a blurry afterimage! How is this possible!"
Tang San gripped his hair tightly, muttering to himself repeatedly:
"That snake was no more than a foot long and had no spirit rings on its body. According to the teacher's theory, it was clearly just an ordinary wind snake at the tenth level!"
"But its speed even exceeds the explosive speed of Teacher Zhao Wuji after activating gravity compression!"
"Is this reasonable? This is not reasonable!"
Tang San's breathing became more and more rapid, and he was frantically calculating the difference in combat power between the two.
"If that snake were replaced by my opponent..."
"My hidden weapons couldn't hit it at all, because it was faster than my mechanism!"
"Even my Blue Silver Grass can't control it, because the power it unleashes in an instant is enough to sever my martial soul!"
"Even my Mysterious Jade Hand would probably be crushed like paper in the face of that bite force that could instantly pierce through the teacher's wrist bones!"
Tang San always believed that with the Tang Sect's unique skills, he was special in this world and could challenge opponents of higher levels.
If even a small snake in that higher-dimensional world is like this, what about the other, more powerful beings, or those who are currently at the pinnacle of beasts?
"Gulp." Tang San swallowed hard, muttering listlessly, "So this is the higher-dimensional world..."
"Our prized soul skills might just be child's play there."
"Our so-called Title Douluo might not even be able to beat a slightly stronger wild beast there."
"Teacher, you've shown us the truth, but this truth is too cruel!"
Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and the others around Tang San were terrified to see their usually calm and confident Third Brother in such a state of collapse, and they couldn't even utter a word of comfort.
The tragedy continues beneath the sky.
Yu Xiaogang did not die immediately.
The Azure Scaled Wind Serpent didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat. It coiled on a tree branch not far away, coldly watching its prey struggle.
