Chapter 3: Incredible Jiang Luoli, the Poison King is actually this powerful!

Inside the dim mountain cave, Lu Chuan was quietly undergoing an astonishing evolution; the streams of power flowing into his body were taking effect as time passed.

His originally slender body began to undergo subtle changes, as one could see his frame gradually lengthening and thickening.

Wisps of mysterious light flickered faintly upon his body.

Lu Chuan's original body had been only as thick as a finger and looked quite unremarkable, but with the addition of the Evolution Value, it was now the size of an infant's arm, and the silver rings on his body were even more striking.

At this moment, his entire body radiated a faint glow, as if telling of his extraordinariness.

Lu Chuan felt the changes in his body and became overjoyed, then muttered to himself, "Let's see just how effective this enhancement is."

With a thought, he opened his attribute panel to check, and then saw that his level had reached the middle stage of the Mortal Realm, though he required 30 points of Evolution Value for the next upgrade.

Regarding this, he was fairly satisfied, "At this rate, the next upgrade isn't too far off."

Lu Chuan surveyed the situation in the cave, thinking to himself that he could not stay here forever, or else he would only be controlled by others, and immediately a thought of escaping arose.

He saw that this appeared to be a man-made cave; the entrance had been sealed by an iron gate, and only a "skylight" was left at the top of the cave, allowing one to see the situation inside.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan suddenly remembered that he had been thrown down from that "skylight" by that woman, and immediately crawled toward the "skylight."

"That should be the only exit; I must get up there!"

After saying this, he began Climbing the cliff face, but only after making contact did he realize the cave wall was extremely steep; he fell straight down before he had even climbed a distance equal to his own body length.

"Try again!"

Lu Chuan was not discouraged and continued to adjust his posture to climb.

After emerging victorious from that group of poisonous creatures, his Climbing ability had already risen to Advanced.

But even so, after trying several times, he was unable to climb to the top.

The light shining in from the skylight was like a visible yet unreachable hope, leaving him unable to touch it.

"Could it be... that I am really going to be trapped here?"

For a moment, Lu Chuan felt somewhat discouraged.

He could not think of any way to leave this dim cave right now.

Although he had not encountered any accidents up to this point, he knew in his heart that if he remained trapped in this dim cave, that mysterious woman would sooner or later do something to him.

After all, the other party had spent a high price to buy him and throw him into this cave; there must be a purpose.

"Let's try another method."

After catching sight of another exit in the cave, Lu Chuan pondered for a moment before moving toward the iron gate, but he was very cautious, constantly monitoring the movement over there.

Because for some reason, he vaguely felt that the mysterious woman was right behind this iron gate, and once discovered, he would still be unable to escape.

But what he did not notice was that as he struggled to escape, there was a blood-colored mark on his head, flickering in and out of existence.

"Time is up."

Outside the iron gate, Jiang Luoli seemed able to know how much time had passed without the help of tools; she now slowly stood up and pressed a switch.

Clatter—

Immediately, after a sound of friction rang out, the iron gate was slowly opened, and at the same time, a foul, fierce aura rushed toward her.

After opening the iron gate, she stepped back slightly and even wore a cautious expression, staring at the movement behind the gate.

Soon, the figure of a giant snake emerged from the darkness.

This giant snake was none other than Lu Chuan!

Looking at Jiang Luoli appearing at the cave entrance, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

For some reason, he actually felt a sense of intimacy toward this woman, as if...

This woman was born to be his master.

"What is going on?" Lu Chuan was immediately puzzled, and now he even stopped, glancing at Jiang Luoli with a strange mood.

"Why do I have this feeling?"

"Sure enough, this woman is definitely strange; throwing me here must be for some scheme!"

"This is... this is that Silver Ring Snake?"

At the same time, Jiang Luoli recognized Lu Chuan, or rather, recognized this Silver Ring Snake, and a look of surprise could not help but appear in her beautiful eyes.

"This little fellow is quite impressive!"

She really did not expect that the Silver Ring Snake thrown in at the end would actually become the Poison King?

"How much luck does this little fellow have? Or... or was it powerful to begin with?"

"No, it can no longer be called a little fellow."

Seeing the Silver Ring Snake as thick as an infant's arm, Jiang Luoli hurriedly changed her way of addressing it, but the look of surprise in her eyes grew increasingly intense.

"What on earth happened?"

"However, since the Poison King has been born, I don't need to consider these things."

Thinking of this, a scorching look suddenly erupted in Jiang Luoli's eyes; after all, the more powerful the Poison King was, the more advantageous it would be for her, and she was already very satisfied with the Silver Ring Snake now.

Immediately, she took out a jade bottle, and a bloody scent instantly wafted from it.

Jiang Luoli placed the jade bottle on the ground, her face full of smiles.

"Be good, my little treasure, drink this and obediently become my Life-Bound Gu!"

For some reason, looking at the jade bottle in Jiang Luoli's hand, Lu Chuan felt an extreme craving for the blood inside the bottle.

But his reason told him that once he devoured the blood inside, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So he forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart and approached Jiang Luoli.

Seeing this, the smile on Jiang Luoli's face became even more intense.

"Come here, my little treasure!"

And just at this moment, Lu Chuan launched an attack, sweeping out his massive snake tail like lightning, while his heart roared in anger.

"Who the hell is your little darling!"

"Damn it!"

Jiang Luoli's expression changed in an instant, but her reaction was exceptionally agile.

Just as Lu Chuan was about to strike her, she dodged to the side, evading him with great finesse without causing much of a stir, and now she thought with a gloomy expression.

"This Poison King has clearly already entered into a Blood Pact with me, so why is he still attacking me?"

"What on earth is going on?"

At the same time, Lu Chuan was also surprised by this woman's agility and reaction speed, but he soon sneered incessantly.

"This woman truly has a major problem."

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

In an instant, several fierce attacks erupted continuously, yet Jiang Luoli seemed like a martial arts master, her movement technique exceptionally clever, and she dodged every one of these attacks.

Lu Chuan even refused to believe it and continued to attack, but until his strength was nearly exhausted, he still had not managed to harm the other party, and he could not help but be incredibly surprised.

Opposite him, Jiang Luoli was equally shocked in her heart; at almost the same moment, both sides gave rise to the same thought in their minds.

"How could this poisonous creature (woman) have such strength?"
