Chapter 381: Unlocking More Positions

"Then take this Nine-Leaf Spirit Flower and eat it."

Tang San took out a fairy herb that was radiating specks of spiritual light.

"It is a pure item for nourishing the Spirit; no matter what kind of trauma your Spirit has, it can repair it as good as new."

Qin Jian took it without the slightest hesitation: "Thanks."

Tang San smiled and shook his head.

Hu Liena, standing to the side, wanted to say something but stopped.

Qin Jian patted her head: "Don't worry, he won't harm me."

Besides, he couldn't harm him anyway; with the soul bone born from the Love Flower, he could absorb almost any flower-type plant, whether poisonous or not.

"Hum!"

The Nine-Leaf Spirit Flower melted the moment it entered his mouth, rapidly transforming into a magical power that permeated the depths of his Spirit.

Qin Jian sat cross-legged for about an hour before finally recovering completely.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go and see exactly what is so difficult about this Hell Road."

He stood up holding the Silver Dragon Spear, with Hu Liena and Tang San standing on his left and right.

The surrounding world was like a volcanic crater; a thousand meters below the platform was boiling blood-red magma, while above were various paths resembling single-plank bridges.

There was no room for choice; the three of them each held their weapons, carefully walked out from the platform, and proceeded along the stone bridge.

This walk lasted for an hour...

"They say the Hell Road is strange and varied, and that what you encounter is never the same, but why is what we're encountering Temple Run?"

Qin Jian said speechlessly: "Could it be a projection of what I'm thinking in my heart?"

"What is Temple Run?" Hu Liena asked curiously.

Qin Jian shrugged: "It's a path of escape that never reaches an end."

"It won't keep going like this..."

Tang San suddenly said: "I measured it with my eyes; originally our height from the magma was 1000 meters, now it's only 900 meters left. If this continues, we will sooner or later walk into the magma."

Qin Jian covered his forehead: "Are your eyes a radar?"

"Careful!"

Just as his hand was blocking his vision, thousands of blood-colored bats suddenly rushed up from below.

"Screech! ——"

Amidst the sharp shrieks, the bats bit down in an overwhelming swarm, and a foul, fishy stench surged from their mouths, almost knocking the three of them unconscious.

"Hum!"

Tang San's Blue Silver Domain suddenly expanded, and then two Zhuge Crossbows appeared in his hands, shooting at the blood-colored bats with a *whoosh-whoosh-whoosh*.

Seeing this, Qin Jian put away the Silver Dragon Spear, and two Zhuge Crossbows appeared in his hands as well.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

The bats were hit one after another, then fell down like dumplings, dropping into the magma and disappearing.

Hu Liena watched the two people beside her shooting happily with *whoosh-whoosh-whoosh*, and her expression slumped a little.

I want to shoot for fun too...

"Screech! ——"

Before long, these bats couldn't hold on anymore. A sharp whistle came from below, and all the small bats retreated. Then, a blood bat with a wingspan of fully three zhang slowly rose from below.

"Careful, we beat the minions, and now the boss is out," Tang San said loudly.

Then he saw the spear radiance on Qin Jian's right hand surge, and he smashed it straight at the Blood Bat King's head.

"If you're coming, then come! Flying so slowly, what are you posturing for!"

The Blood Bat King's head instantly began to bleed profusely.

Tang San, Hu Liena: "......"

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you test it out before attacking? What's with you stabbing it with a spear without saying a word...

"Screech! ——"

The Blood Bat King was also a bit stunned, but the next moment it was furious.

A blood-colored storm brewed around its body, and waves of sharp shrieks pierced the eardrums of the three.

"Puff!"

Another sound of spear radiance entering a body; Tang San and Hu Liena were both stunned after seeing it.

The Blood Bat King, pierced through the chest by the silver radiance, was also very stunned. There wasn't even the fear of death in its eyes; instead, there was a deeper sense of confusion.

I was preparing my ultimate move, shouldn't you be considering how to defend against it? When exactly did you stab me again?

"Sorry, your cooldown is too long..."

Qin Jian silently retracted the Silver Dragon Spear.

The Blood Bat King probably didn't understand his meaning; before falling, it even tilted its head, looking very puzzled.

But the next moment, Qin Jian knew it wasn't expressing confusion, because at the moment it tilted its head, pillars of blood surged out from within its body, merging with the blood-colored storm that had been brewing halfway.

"Boom! ——"

The next moment, the storm exploded, and all the surrounding stone bridges were blown to pieces.

The three of them reacted quickly, each using their own methods to move at high speed, dodging the debris flying everywhere.

"Its goal from the beginning was to destroy the stone bridge beneath our feet! No wonder it spent so long building up its power!"

Tang San's voice came from afar; not needing to hide his identity, he was like Spider-Man, with strands of Blue Silver Grass flying out from his hands, hanging himself to move in mid-air.

As for Qin Jian, he was holding Hu Liena, throwing his sword, stabbing it into a stone pillar, and teleporting over, while Hu Liena's tail wrapped around the stone pillar to stabilize their figures...

Repeating this cycle, the two of them also very smoothly headed downward.

"Bang! Bang!"

Not long after, the three of them reunited on an intact stone bridge, and they were now only three hundred meters away from the magma.

"Hoo..."

Tang San caught his breath slightly and said, "It's a good thing you acted quickly, Qin Jian. Otherwise, if the stone bridge had been blasted apart, we would have had to withstand the Blood Bat King's attacks while trying to escape, which would have been troublesome."

"That was just a piece of cake..."

Qin Jian waved his hand.

The three of them continued to walk downward, and another hour passed in this manner.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, a vibration came from beneath their feet, and the expressions of the three tightened.

"What will it be this time..."

Hu Liena's fox tails wrapped around Qin Jian's waist from behind, ready to deal with any changes at any moment.

"Judging by the movement, it's not simple."

Blue Silver Grass began to spread around Tang San's body.

Qin Jian held his Martial Soul Sword in his left hand and his Silver Dragon Spear in his right, waiting in full battle array.

"Sizzle!"

The magma suddenly exploded, and a massive snake head stretched out from within.

This was a giant python with a body entirely fiery red, and there were ten scarlet protrusions on its head and body that were flashing with light.

"A primordial exotic beast... the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake!"

Tang San's shocked voice reached the ears of Qin Jian and Hu Liena.

"What is that?" Hu Liena asked.

Tang San said, "It is an extremely powerful magical beast, and it has immense vitality; it is very difficult to kill."

"If it's difficult to kill, it can still be killed. How do we kill it?" Qin Jian asked, his gaze locked onto the giant python.

The Clear Sky Hammer appeared in Tang San's left hand: "We must shatter all ten of those blood-red protrusions!"

Hu Liena had already seen his Clear Sky Hammer, so she did not show any look of shock at this moment.

"Then let's go!"

It was not the first time the three of them had worked together; they had even fought two thousand people, so a single snake... well, although it was a primordial exotic beast, they were not afraid at all.

Tang San unleashed ten thousand grasses at once, wielding his hammer with such force that it stirred up a storm; he was like Spider-Man and Thor combined into one, charging aggressively to play with the snake.

Hu Liena's fox tails erupted from behind her, her external soul bone possessed her, and in an instant, she transformed into a pink fox crouching on the ground, then zoomed forward.

Qin Jian watched from behind, feeling very envious: "I made a mistake; besides the fox tail and fox ear mode, how did I forget that there is also this possession form? How many poses could I unlock with this..."
