Chapter 179: Arrows Like Rain.
Xiao Fen fell rapidly from the air. Just as he was wondering why there was no movement behind him, he suddenly heard a small voice above his head say, “Lend me your excellent head for a moment.”
While he was in a daze, he suddenly felt a weight on his head. It was Daoist Yuan stepping on Xiao Fen’s head with one foot, using this force to leap high again, rushing towards that giant python’s head.
Before Xiao Fen could say a word of complaint, he fell from the air with accelerated speed. With a crash, he fell into the blood pool, splashing up a large amount of blood water. In that instant in the blood, the whole world seemed to overlap before his eyes. He could clearly see through this blood pool that the giant python’s long body extended deep into the ground where it could not be seen.
After sinking about 2 meters in the blood pool, the huge buoyancy pushed Xiao Fen out of the blood surface. Just at that instant, Xiao Fen just happened to see Daoist Yuan’s double swords release brilliant light. Then the double swords left his hands, instantly piercing through the python’s head. After that, the multiple flying swords behind Daoist Yuan buzzed as if attracted by a magnet, suddenly turned around, and rushed rapidly towards the direction where Daoist Yuan’s double swords had pierced through.
“Thud thud thud thud thud”, a series of sounds of precious swords hitting the python’s surface came like rain hitting banana leaves. In the few seconds that Xiao Fen was bobbing up and down in the blood pool, that giant python’s head had already been pierced through by sixteen precious swords front and back. The huge head fell backward and smashed heavily towards the rockery.
Daoist Yuan was about to fall into the blood pool. He saw him suddenly wave his double sleeves at the giant python in the air. Huge wind pressure again appeared from his sleeves. After dealing another round of damage to the giant python, it just happened to push Daoist Yuan’s body back to the air above Xiao Fen.
Daoist Yuan smiled slightly and said, “Lend me your excellent head for a moment again.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Yuan’s body sank down. His left foot stepped on Xiao Fen’s unprepared head again. He stamped down hard. While pushing Xiao Fen’s body back into the blood pool, his whole body floated backwards. By the time Xiao Fen poked his head out of the blood pool again, Daoist Yuan had already leaped back to the original pavilion, his clothes fluttering, looking unspeakably dashing.
Xiao Fen spat the foul-smelling blood water far out of his mouth, then swam forward with force. At this time, he was in no mood to complain or curse. Who knew if this giant python was completely dead? If he was careless for a moment and got wrapped by the Blood Python’s body, that would be terrible.
Facts proved that Xiao Fen’s choice was correct. Just after he swam not far away, he suddenly heard the giant python let out a tragic hiss. In that instant, the entire blood pool boiled like a pot, surging violently. An extremely huge python body was continuously pulled out of this blood pool, swinging constantly in the air. Finally, a snake head that was completely split in two fell from the air towards this blood pool.
If Xiao Fen’s movements had been a little slower just now, even if he was not entangled by that python body, he would have been hit by this snake head. Moreover, new numbers were still dancing in front of Xiao Fen’s eyes, reminding him that the filth in this blood pool could consume 5 points of his health per second.
Borrowing the surge of the huge blood wave, Xiao Fen’s whole body suddenly leaped into the air, separating from the blood pool. Just then, he saw a silk sash suddenly whip over from the pavilion like lightning, accompanied by Daoist Yuan’s voice: “Grab tight!”
Xiao Fen raised his hand and grabbed the silk sash. Then a huge force suddenly came. His wrist tightened uncontrollably. His whole body drew a large arc in the air like a kite, suddenly falling into the pavilion from above the blood pool.
Before Xiao Fen could recover from the pain of the violent impact, he felt the back of his neck suddenly get grabbed, and heard Daoist Yuan say: “Not done yet, let’s go, let’s go.”
Then another great force came. Before Xiao Fen could react, his whole body was suddenly thrown out of the pavilion by Daoist Yuan. Immediately after, Daoist Yuan also hurriedly jumped out of the pavilion. The next moment, a huge blood wave like a monstrous ocean wave suddenly pounced over. With a few cracking sounds, that old small pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters was completely pounced down by the blood pool, turning into a ground of crushed slag.
Xiao Fen, seeing this scene in the air, secretly gasped. Just now, Daoist Yuan stepped on his head twice, saving him from the sea of blood twice. Between one coming and one going, they were even. Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at the corner of his eye.
No movement, no new information appeared in the corner of his eye.
Xiao Fen’s heart suddenly paused. He shouted in the air: “Careful, this Monster is not dead yet.”
As soon as the words fell, a small red snake figure shot out from the split position of the giant python’s head like lightning. Its speed was extremely fast. In an instant, borrowing the blood water in the blood pool, it directly pounced on the Commandant who was still sitting in the blood water, not knowing if he was dead or alive. Cracking sounds were heard. It was that small red figure biting off the Commandant’s arm and chewing there.
By this time, the Commandant woke up. He glanced at the ferocious Monster on his shoulder and shivered in fright. Ignoring that half of his body had been soaked in blood water until only bones remained, he turned his head and shouted to the crowd on the embankment: “Save me, save me!”
Before the words completely disappeared, the small red Monster had already turned its head towards the Commandant’s skull. This Monster, with four horns on its head, a body like a small red snake, no limbs, and thick as a child’s arm, quickly swallowed half an arm. Its mouth vaguely made cooing sounds. The next moment, it suddenly sprang and jumped into the Commandant’s mouth, bit the Commandant’s tongue in one bite, and its whole body rustled as it wriggled continuously into the Commandant’s body.
By this time, the Commandant could not shout anymore. He turned his head and looked at the crowd in despair. His left hand, with only a few white bone fingers left, waved twice in the air, then froze. His entire head was forced open by that Monster, and his jaw completely fell off. By now, he was not dead for a moment, his eyes full of pain, just looking at the crowd.
Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian said in a low voice: “Send him on his way.”
A burly Agent stepped forward, raised a horn bow, and shot an arrow at the Commandant’s chest.
With a “hiss”, the short arrow directly nailed into the Commandant’s chest. Since this Commandant did not wear armor, the arrow nailed through his heart without any obstruction. In that instant, the Commandant’s pupils suddenly dilated. Looking at the crowd, his eyes showed some relief, but more resentment and hatred. The bloody “heh heh” sounds made when that blood-colored Monster churned in his mouth seemed like his last words, as if cursing everyone present.
Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian gave a low hey and said: “Those Donglin Party members, everyone says they won’t let me off even as a ghost. I am not afraid, so what can you, a small scum, do to me?”
Xiao Fen watched this whole scene, his heart beating like a drum. The ambition he had before, thinking he alone was enough to solve these problems, was all thrown out of his mind. He only needed to look at this Monster to know that in the Trial World, fighting alone was only effective in Level 2 or lower Trial Worlds. In Level 3 and above Trial Worlds, team cooperation was the most important.
After a while, that Monster shrank into the Commandant’s intestines, then slowly bit through the Commandant’s skin, poking out a pair of eyes from inside, staring dead at the crowd, its mouth making gurgling noises nonstop.
Xiao Fen looked at this Monster, his heart skipping a beat again. The opponent’s speed was obviously faster than his, and its attack method was truly shocking. If it were not against him, or Daoist Yuan, or people like Wei Zhongxian, but against those Agents and Constables who had no way to fight back, I fear there would be another bloody storm. More importantly, this Monster could take advantage of the chaos to escape from this courtyard.
Once this Monster escaped to the street, not to mention Xiao Fen’s mission would fail, just this Monster’s ferocity was enough to turn the entire Capital City upside down. Who knows how many lives would be swallowed by this Monster.
Before he could think more, that Monster seemed to have chosen its target. Its body suddenly leaped, jumping high from the Commandant’s body, pouncing towards the most panicked one among the Commandant’s many followers on the embankment.
At that critical moment, a “whoosh” was heard. A streak of black light suddenly flew out brushing past Xiao Fen’s cheek. Xiao Fen was slightly stunned, turned his head, and saw Wei Zhongxian holding the horn bow from his subordinate just now. He drew the bow half full and suddenly released the arrow, firing continuously. In less than a breath’s time, he fired six carved feather arrows in a row.
Last time he drew the bow with his right hand, this time it was his left hand. Even so, the strength and accuracy were still not relaxed in the slightest. The rumor in history that Wei Zhongxian could draw a bow and shoot arrows with both hands before entering the palace, and could shoot very accurately, now became reality, fully displayed before Xiao Fen’s eyes.
After a pause, Xiao Fen heard “ding ding ding” sounds ringing behind his head. He turned his head again to look, only to see those carved feather arrows shooting out one after another, constantly hitting that Monster. If that Monster’s movements were like lightning, then the arrows in Wei Zhongxian’s hand were like torrential rain. No matter how that Monster dodged and turned, it could not escape the shooting range of these carved feather arrows. Those rain-like arrows constantly hit this Monster, making it coo in chaos, unable to escape, and unable to reach its target.
However, this Monster’s armor was obviously extremely thick. Even after being hit by so many carved feather arrows in a row by Wei Zhongxian, it was still not hurt at all. Those arrows bounced off one after another after hitting its shell, unable to harm this Monster at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Fen turned back again. Seeing that quiver was about to be empty, another Agent was handing up a new quiver. He shouted loudly: “Give the arrows to me, I will do it!”
The Agent handing the arrows was stunned for a moment, about to ask. A small hand snatched the quiver from the side and threw it to Xiao Fen. Daoist Yuan said: “Eunuch Wei only has enough for one more quiver. Let’s see what you can do.”
