Chapter 107: The Plot Is Wrong

……

Fire Cloud Forest.

Knowing that staying behind would only be a burden to Lv Cheng, Xinxia and her group quickly moved away from the fiery battlefield. To make the upcoming scenes more logical, Lv Cheng had Jingyun leave the team to help him confront the Flame Enchantress.

High in the sky, two massive suns were colliding rapidly, while Jingyun accompanied them on the side, spitting out a bit of fire now and then just to go through the motions.

"You actually dared to try and snatch the Fire Calamity Fruit from a creature like that." Mo Fan looked at Zhao Yulin and Nan Jue with a lingering sense of fear.

"You really aren't afraid of death!"

Although that Flame Enchantress was vastly different from the Totem Totem Serpent and the Silver Sky Monarch he had witnessed in Hangzhou, he had only viewed those from a distance. Just now, having been in close contact with that terrifying Domain of fire and the nearly suffocating high temperature, he felt that even if he activated Demonization, he would be killed in an instant!

Nan Jue's expression was very ugly.

She had only learned the location of the Fire Calamity Fruit from old Hunters who had visited the Zhuoyuan North Corner, and that a powerful guardian existed here, but how could she have known it would be this exaggerated?

How on earth did those who successfully obtained the Fire Calamity Fruit in the past manage to do it?

"There is only one Fire Calamity Fruit; even if he obtains it, there won't be any left for us." Zhao Yulin was uninterested and prepared to leave.

He did not think he could snatch the Fire Calamity Fruit from Lv Cheng, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare to.

With the status of an Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace, even the elders of the main Zhao family branch had to be polite; if he offended him, the rest of his life would be ruined!

Shaking his head, Zhao Yulin led his team to part ways with Xinxia's group and headed in the direction they had come from.

"Chen Ying?" Zhao Yulin paused his steps.

"Let's go."

"I..." Chen Ying looked at Zhao Yulin, then at Jiang Feng, the white-clad person remaining in Xinxia's group.

Zhao Yulin had intended to say something, but thinking about how much he had sacrificed for this trip only to return empty-handed, his mood suddenly became extremely terrible.

"Hmph!" Zhao Yulin let out a muffled grunt, turned around, and led his team away.

Without the Fire Calamity Fruit, Jiang Feng could not recover, and he did not want to face a woman who was neither human nor ghost.

As for Chen Ying... let her be!

"Uncle!" Zhao Manyan was just about to warn Zhao Yulin that it was dangerous here and they shouldn't separate yet, but before the words could leave his mouth, a massive snake-like figure charged rapidly toward Zhao Yulin's team.

In just an instant, more than half of the nearly twenty-person team was smashed into bloody remains by the sturdy body of the Three-Headed Evil Python, and a rain of blood fell.

Just as Zhao Yulin tried to resist, the green head on the right of the Three-Headed Evil Python spat out a mouthful of thick, toxic mist.

Before he could dodge, Zhao Yulin was hit head-on by the toxic mist and froze in place, unable to move.

"Father!"

Xinxia and her group were just about to intervene to save him, but the glowing red head in the middle of the Three-Headed Evil Python sprayed a stream of fire, directly vaporizing Zhao Yulin.

After finishing all this, the Three-Headed Evil Python quickly vanished from everyone's sight.

Throughout the entire process, hardly anyone present had even managed to react.

Although Ai Jiangtu had sensed it, for him, Ai Tutu's safety was the priority; naturally, he would not abandon his own sister to save an unrelated stranger.

Moreover, he was not confident he could succeed.

"Everyone, huddle together!" Lingling shouted.

"That three-headed monster snake must be wary of Xiaotian, which is why it didn't attack us. If you don't want to die, don't run around!"

The few military officers who had been scared weak-kneed by the Three-Headed Evil Python dared not say anything more and obediently huddled into the group. Xiaotian also timely enlarged its form, protecting the people around it under its dragon wings while remaining vigilant of the surroundings.

"Father..." Chen Ying looked sorrowfully at the severed limbs Zhao Yulin had left on the ground.

Xinxia and the others were unable to offer any words of comfort for a moment; the danger of this forest exceeded their imagination.

When they arrived, it was because Xiaotian and Jingyun were protecting everyone from the front and back, but now that Jingyun was gone, even if Xiaotian had noticed the three-headed monster snake's sneak attack just now, it could not have abandoned them to save someone else.

After all, the targets Lv Cheng had previously designated for Xiaotian to protect did not include Zhao Yulin's group.

"Damn, this plot isn't right."

High in the sky, Lv Cheng's expression was somewhat strange.

Where was his thrilling, exciting joint battle?

Where was the classic scene of Zhao Yulin being cowardly and sacrificing his wife and daughter again to save his own life?

Where was his magnificent entrance to save the damsels in distress as Jiang Shaoxu and the others fell into danger?

Where was the happy ending with Yan Ji protecting her master and the Flame Enchantress turning from foe to friend?

How did the plot get cut down so much?

"Ximu, how did you train that snake?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Why isn't this Three-Headed Evil Python following the script?"

"Script?" Ximu, lurking in the forest, twitched the corner of his eye.

"Brother, it's not like you don't know that plans never keep up with changes. Besides, if the Three-Headed Evil Python hadn't insta-killed those people just now, the plot would have been too fake."

"Didn't you notice that this bunch of kids still hasn't come to their senses?"

"How could you expect them to have a thrilling, exciting battle with the Three-Headed Evil Python?"

The Three-Headed Evil Python had already gone easy on them!

Otherwise, these people wouldn't have even reacted to what happened, and they wouldn't even know how that Zhao Yulin died.

This was already in slow motion!

Any more holding back and it would be too fake!

"..."

Lv Cheng was speechless for a moment.

He had forgotten to consider the strength of these people.

An average High-level Mage facing the Three-Headed Evil Python, especially in a sneak attack, would only be insta-killed.

The only one in the group who could put up a fight against the Three-Headed Evil Python was Ai Jiangtu; as for the others...

"Shall we continue?" The Flame Enchantress also saw Zhao Yulin being instantly killed by the Three-Headed Evil Python, but after more than ten years of life in Zhuoyuan, her feelings for this husband had long been worn away by time; furthermore, since Zhao Yulin had come for the Fire Calamity Fruit, her last shred of sentiment had completely vanished.

The only thing she could be concerned about was her daughter.

"Forget it, no more fighting." Lv Cheng shook his head.

The main scenes have all been cut, so how is this still supposed to be a fight?

He never imagined that Zhao Yulin would be this pathetic!

The Three-Headed Evil Python had already gone easy on him, yet he was still instantly killed in a single exchange.

How embarrassing!

"Brother Lv Cheng!"

Xinxia and her group looked with pleasant surprise at Lv Cheng and the Flame Enchantress as they gradually descended from high in the air.

Does this mean they reached an agreement?

"Brother Lv Cheng, what is this?"

The gazes of Xinxia and the other young women were firmly drawn to the cute little creature hanging in front of Lv Cheng's chest.

"Is this... a Yan Ji?" Nan Jue guessed.

While in the Western Military Region, she had heard some legends about this fire plain, among which the Yan Ji was a powerful race on this fire plain.

However, the Yan Ji race had rarely appeared in the last hundred years; even among those veteran Hunters, few had ever seen a Yan Ji, with only some records and drawings about them existing.

"Mm." Lv Cheng nodded.

"A newly hatched Yan Ji."

"Can I touch it?" Ai Tutu asked with a look of longing.

It's so cute!

Lv Cheng picked up the little Yan Ji from his chest and placed it in Ai Tutu's palm, "Don't move too much, it just finished eating."

"So, you two reached an agreement?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with a strange expression.

No, can this kind of thing really be negotiated?

Under normal circumstances, isn't this usually a fight to the death?

Your style is all wrong, isn't it?

The now-calm Flame Enchantress no longer possessed the sharp, aggressive aura from her combat state; in fact, she vaguely gave off a gentle and kind feeling.

However, Chen Ying, who was being watched by the Flame Enchantress, had not yet recovered from the death of Zhao Yulin and did not notice the Flame Enchantress's benevolent gaze.

"Where do you want to go?"

Lv Cheng looked at the white-clothed person who was slowly moving their feet, preparing to slip away.

"I..." The white-clothed person's movements stiffened, and seeing Lv Cheng's half-smiling expression, they immediately realized they had been exposed.

Yet, the Ghost Woman did not panic; instead, she laughed, "I really didn't expect things to develop into what they are now."

"Is this your last word?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Last word?" The Ghost Woman sneered.

"You should take a look at them instead."

Just now, when the Three-Headed Evil Python attacked, she had already taken advantage of the chaos to cast a curse!

These young girls had already been struck!
