Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Snake King

  "Hmm... I see, no wonder that group suddenly appeared out of nowhere." Jiǔ Mìng's eyes twitched as he stared at the massive crater in front of him, with a diameter of several tens of meters and a depth of over ten meters. The edges of the crater were lined with some faintly purple high-energy crystals.

  That's nothing, what's even more terrifying is the dense group of snakes coiled in the center of the big pit!

  After taking a look around the big pit, Jiǔ Mìng quickly confirmed that this pit was definitely created by some poor guy who accidentally passed through here and didn't know what happened to cause it, obviously just after a sudden collapse.

  In other parts of the pit, some standing mud pillars can still be seen, otherwise this pit would have collapsed long ago.

  Huh?!

  The nine lives of the Jiu Ming, who was about to slowly retreat, suddenly stiffened, and his gaze fell downwards, coincidentally meeting a pair of gigantic snake pupils. The snake pupils still had electric arcs flowing within them, but what was even more captivating was the deep purple orb on top of the giant snake's head, which was roughly the size of a fist.

  Half of them are inlaid on its head, uh... Dragon Ball?

  Alright, this is clearly a snake. This giant serpent must be the leader of the group of snakes. Just by looking at its enormous body, which measures nearly 100 meters in length, Jiǔ Mìng hadn't seen any that could compare to it. The longest one was only about half its size.

  Undoubtedly, if there is any rare treasure, it would be that purple bead on its head!

  "Look down on me?" Noticing the somewhat disdainful mocking expression in the big snake's eyes, Jiǔ Mìng, who was already in a bad mood, let out a loud laugh and immediately changed his position. The next moment, more than a dozen lightning bolts struck the place where he had been standing. How about that, Snake King?

  No matter what, it's still a snake, not a dragon. As long as the Snake King dares to leave the snake den under the big pit, Jiǔ Mìng dares to confront him head-on!

  The regret left by the things at Mikoto's place made him extremely unhappy, and he had a chance to vent his anger. It was this snake king who took the initiative to 'provoke' him. If he didn't look for it, there would be no reason! Looking down on me?

  When you get beaten up, you'll know what it means to pay the price for underestimating others.

  It's a ghost.

  "What a close call! Luckily the snakes didn't know what was going on and retreated." A student next to Yang Zhiyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saying with a lingering fear.

  Yang Weiyu gave him a glance, retreat? You're too naive, it's clear that there must be some reason why the snakes temporarily gave up on them. The most likely possibility is that someone lured the snakes away, something those hidden external reinforcements did.

  They were not far from the Snake Pit, and after hurrying for a while, they arrived there. Seeing the scene in the entire Snake Pit, even though they had many people now, they couldn't help but take a cold breath. What's the use of having many people?!

  If all the thunder snakes in the pit rush out, they will definitely be like those who are photographed by a big wave and are unlucky, not one of them can escape!

  At this moment, a considerable number of students have given up... Oh my god! The feeling of being on edge and possibly dying at any moment is really unbearable!

  What chilled them to the bone was that when they turned back, they found their own retreat had been cut off...

  It's not that those hidden foreign aids were not discovered, but they were discovered and couldn't be stopped. Why did these students, who were clearly on the territory of these rattlesnakes, suffer attacks that were never very intense?

  The reason is that most of the snakes are lurking outside, just waiting for the last ambush, many hidden external aids have noticed this point, encountering such a situation can only be said to be unlucky, and a snake king with obvious wisdom has appeared on this road.

  But the alien beast is always an alien beast, this snake king will use some cunning means, no mistake, and the hidden external aid here has not reached that desperate degree. They are all quite clear, such a big change has appeared here, how can it be possible that no one will come?

  Even if no one comes, a few of them will run out and shake things up. No one with any status in that camp will be able to escape! They'll all be rounded up!

  "Don't worry, hold on for a while longer and help will arrive." Anyway, hiding at this time wasn't a good thing to do either. The external aid from all around came out of their hiding places, not many in number, only twenty or so, but even so, some panicked students felt a lot more at ease.

  It seems that what was said before the internship is true after all, and there really are hidden foreign aids.

  These hidden foreign aids are not as calm on the surface, looking at the rather lazy snake king in the snake pit, they all have no bottom line in their hearts, what if this snake king can't hold back...

  Anyone can see that the snake king is not something that one or two people can handle, even these hidden foreign aids have seen it and are secretly fearful, fighting, let alone students, they themselves cannot protect themselves!

  However, among them, there were a few people who secretly took a few more glances at the snake king's head. The value of that purple bead was beyond description, and everyone who saw it was moved!

  It can be worn on the body of the Thunder Snake King, and it is absolutely a rare treasure at the top of the Thunder system.

  It's hard to say, but once you get your hands on it, even if you're not a Thunder-type ability user, you can still exert the power of an advanced Thunder-type ability user. Not to mention those super powerful Thunder-type users who will pay any price to get their hands on this thing, as long as they can get it.

  If these students can be incited to take bold action and seize the opportunity amidst the chaos... it's not impossible that they might succeed.

  These ideas can only be ideas now. Everyone present is not a fool, and the person who proposed this idea will definitely be seen as having ulterior motives and will be excluded.

  Let's just hold on for now, wait for the support from the camp to arrive, this place will definitely be cleaned up thoroughly. The edge of the big pit can already see the scattered high-energy crystal ore, and it can also produce so many thunder snakes, the mineral deposits below must be very rich.

  So at that time, this thunder snake king was going to be unlucky.

  "Ah, it's going to be a fight."

  Looking at the snakes that had already begun to move, the rattlesnakes in the snake pit also started to crawl out. Jiǔ Mìng paused for a moment, quickly glanced at his collection and found that only the broken steel pipe and the one-time-use Fantasy Killer could be of use next.

  Jiǔ Mìng didn't think much of the latter, but the latter was only referring to the aspect of heteromorphic powers. Energy also belonged to that range, no mistake about it. However, this Snake King's display wasn't just limited to the power of lightning; its massive body, with one swing of its tail, made Jiǔ Mìng feel like he'd be knocked to his knees if hit.

  What if you broke through the Thunder Snake King's thunderbolt attack at that time? Others will still destroy you with their strength!

  The force field on the Thunder Snake King's body, or any thunder and lightning attribute, can make its physical attacks ignore the physical immunity of the Nine Lives Soul Body.

  It's still that steel pipe, if you grasp the opportunity well, Jiǔ Mìng can directly crack open the skull of the Thunder Snake King and dig out that purple bead!

  Good stuff, who doesn't want it?

  The battle has begun, and the hidden foreign aid's combat experience is definitely richer than those students. In a state of uncertainty, these ordinary students have heard a lot about the hidden foreign aid, avoiding excessive mistakes. Now, once a mistake is made, it will cost one's own life, and whoever is dragged into the snake pit cannot be saved.

  There are also some talented students who don't need these hidden foreign aids at all. They can handle the situations around them perfectly, which is quite reassuring.

  Nine lives elsewhere, his identity was exposed not so good, the students here also know that there is another hidden foreign aid and another battle elsewhere, which is just right, helping to share the pressure here, it's better than all the snakes gathering in one place.

  "Is that enough?" While fighting and retreating, he couldn't retreat any further, so he simply played dead and drilled into the tree. The thunder snakes were powerless against him, being beaten down, taking advantage of the convenience of his soul body to cheat... Isn't that okay?

  Taking a glance at the situation in the snake pit, a large number of thunder snakes had already crawled out. The remaining dozens of snakes, with the largest ones still motionless, were waiting for their cue. After all, the big boss has to make a more dramatic entrance than the smaller ones, and making a late appearance is necessary. Of course, it's even better if they don't appear at all.

  According to the current situation, the battle situation on the other side is precarious. Those students and hidden foreign aid can only fight for a limited time, their physical strength is also limited, and the number of these snakes is not infinite, they can be exhausted to death, unlike Jiǔ Mìng (Nine Lives), when encountering a difficult situation, directly hiding in the tree.

  It's hard for them to fight back, which means death. Teammates can't always help in time, not to mention their physical strength has already dropped to a very low level.

  The battle had been going on for quite some time, and Jiǔ Mìng heard the faint sound of gunfire...

  The seemingly lazy Thunder Snake King also noticed this, and a few threads of anger flashed in his eyes, which seemed to be because the "good show" was disturbed. A few low-pitched hisses sounded, and the dozens of largest thunder snakes around the Thunder Snake King began to move.

  "Everyone, cheer up! Help has arrived!" Upon hearing the gunfire, several hidden external aid personnel hastily shouted. The students' low morale suddenly rose a lot, having new hope also gave them motivation.

  "Ugh……Finally……Save me!!!" Just as Yang Zhiyu let out a sigh of relief, his shoulder was suddenly bitten by a gigantic snake head and he was dragged into the midst of the snakes. The students beside him didn't have time to react, nor did the hidden external reinforcements arrive in time.

  A deafening thunderous sound rose from within the snake group, completely suppressing that miserable cry. His fate is not to be said, all those who were pulled into the snake group just now ended up like this, not one of them was able to survive, turning into charcoal is not mentioned, and they would also be crushed by the densely packed snake group, their fate could not be more miserable...

  "Whoa! Those big guys are moving too! Everyone be careful!! From the beginning to now, the thing that the hidden foreign aid was most worried about has finally appeared. Although there aren't many giant pythons, they pose the greatest threat. One by one, they can handle them alone, but two or three against one of them would be tough to deal with."

  At this time, Jiǔ Mìng also moved, no longer entangling with the surrounding snakes, and directly rushed into the empty snake pit. The Thunder Snake King discovered Jiǔ Mìng's gray figure rushing towards it in the first moment, and a lightning bolt as thick as an arm swept across to strike him.

  "Come on, see who despises whom now......!"
