Chapter 29: Such a Huge Snake!

~7 min read 1,295 words

The edge of the Dali Mountain Range.

Ever since Jiang Luoli led the Transcendental into the forest, some of the reporters and Transcendental teams who had followed them remained here and did not enter.

Upon arriving here, the reporters discovered that they could no longer pick up a signal, and what little they had was intermittent.

Fortunately, through their efforts, they found a spot with a relatively stable signal where they could also see the direction in which Jiang Luoli and the others had entered the forest, and they continued their live broadcast.

This was their livelihood, so they understood that doing this would attract more attention and thereby make them famous.

As for those Transcendental, they had originally wanted to go in, but after arriving at the edge of the forest, they suddenly felt subconsciously that there might be danger inside.

Moreover, they were not united among themselves, so they simply stayed behind.

At this very moment, the reporters and the Transcendental were all looking into the forest from time to time, their faces full of curiosity.

A reporter held a microphone, stood in front of a camera, turned their back to the forest, and said loudly: "Hello everyone, judging by the situation just now, the Changsheng Group must have encountered powerful exotic beasts, as there were successive bursts of gunfire."

"It seems now that the beasts inside the Dali Mountain Range have also undergone massive mutations after being baptized by that Seven-Colored Light Rain, and are even capable of going toe-to-toe with the Transcendental."

"This time, the Changsheng Group's operation may have encountered difficulties, but given their strength, it shouldn't be hard to resolve."

Having said this, the reporter revealed a shallow dimple and smiled: "So, everyone, take a guess: will the Changsheng Group be able to successfully conquer the Dali Mountain Range?"

"Right now, this station has launched a prize-winning contest..."

While the reporters were reporting, the remaining Transcendental were almost all cupping their ears, listening to the movements inside the forest.

At this time, they only felt that it was quiet inside, and someone immediately said in surprise: "The gunfire seems to have stopped?"

"Listen quickly, everyone, is that so!"

The others cupped their ears one after another, and after listening intently for a while, they found it was indeed the case, and could not help but discuss it: "The Changsheng Group has so many Transcendental, and I heard they even trained those Transcendental; now that this has happened, I really don't know what the situation is inside."

"Could it be that the exotic beasts inside are really that hard to deal with?"

"Who knows?"

The Transcendental discussed it heatedly, and although they were very curious about what was happening in the forest, not a single one of them rushed in.

After all, they were not members of the Changsheng Group, nor did they have the strength and courage of Jiang Luoli and those Transcendental to dare to rush directly into the perilous primeval mountain range.

Previously, they had thought that this time would surely be a total victory for humanity, but as it currently stands, the situation inside is not looking optimistic either.

Just at this moment, a Transcendental said to a younger Transcendental beside him: "Huzi, with your ability, you should be able to see the situation inside, right?"

"Go take a look quickly, everyone is very anxious."

"But..."

This Transcendental called Huzi hesitated, his eyes filled with a look of fear, "But my ability can only be maintained for ten minutes; if I look for too long, my eyes will be ruined!"

"Wouldn't it be better to wait for the people from the Changsheng Group to come out and ask then?"

"Less nonsense!"

This person immediately glared fiercely at Huzi, their words full of an undeniable tone, "Go take a look!"

"You clearly have this ability but don't use it, so why keep it?"

Hearing this, although Huzi was reluctant in every way, and noticed that the rest of the Transcendental were also looking at him with a strong sense of coercion, he immediately activated his transcendental power.

A crimson light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze seemed to be able to pierce through all obstacles, looking directly into the depths of the primeval forest.

Only a few seconds passed before Huzi's expression suddenly changed drastically: "They're fighting!"

"They're all fighting, it's a mess in there!"

Upon hearing this, the Transcendental all had their expressions change accordingly, but before they could even ask about the situation, they heard Huzi continue in terror: "My god!" "There are so many powerful exotic beasts appearing in the forest, and they have surrounded the Changsheng Group's Transcendental!"

"It's over, the people from the Changsheng Group are finished..."

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

No one had expected that what Huzi saw would be such a situation.

The person who had asked him to check the situation pondered for a moment, then said in a stern voice: "Huzi, what exactly did you see?"

"Speak clearly, don't be so jumpy here!"

"Snake... such a huge snake!"

And just at this moment, Huzi seemed to have seen something exceptionally terrifying; his eyes were filled with fear, and especially as time passed, his gaze began to flicker incessantly, the look of dread growing ever more intense: "It's over, Miss Jiang is going to be finished!"

"How could it be so terrifying?"

After saying this, Huzi actually slumped directly onto the ground, his breathing extremely heavy.

The Transcendental wanted to ask what exactly the situation was, but discovered that Huzi's gaze had actually become somewhat vacant.

"I can't even sense her anymore!"

The moment Jiang Luoli disappeared, Lu Chuan immediately activated the 【Blood Hunting】 ability, attempting to find the other party's trail at the first opportunity.

Since obtaining this ability, he had used it to ensure no prey ever escaped, but now he hadn't sensed Jiang Luoli's aura at all, and his mood suddenly became extremely heavy: "This woman, her methods are truly formidable!"

"In just a second or two, or perhaps even faster, she actually escaped to a place ten miles away!"

Indeed, the sensing range of 【Blood Hunting】 was just around ten miles, which was why he had lost his target.

At the thought of Jiang Luoli having such methods, Lu Chuan felt somewhat restless: "As long as this woman is not eliminated, I... I cannot have peace of mind for a single day!"

Meanwhile.

More than ten miles away from Lu Chuan, a quiet river flowed by.

This place had originally become extremely calm due to the scavenging of Lu Chuan and his underlings; basically, no fierce beasts appeared, and not many living creatures remained in the river either, making the area appear even more tranquil.

"Splash—"

But just at this moment, a wave appeared in the river, and with the sound, a figure climbed up from the river and then slumped onto the bank, their face incomparably pale.

This person was, naturally, Jiang Luoli.

After using the 'Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell' to escape, Jiang Luoli had suffered severe damage, and now her aura was extremely withered.

"Damn it!"

At the thought of this loss, a pained expression appeared on her face.

Not to mention the Silver Scorpion and the Jade Skin Gu, the Golden Cicada Gu alone was a life-saving Gu she had refined with great difficulty; she had intended to save it for a future catastrophe, but she had not expected it to be wasted just like that.

"Hmph!"

"I will definitely subdue you, this 'Poison King'!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Luoli secretly swore in her heart, her gaze becoming increasingly determined: "As long as I subdue this 'Poison King', all of today's losses can be recouped!"
