Chapter 76: How Do I Taste?_3
However, the fish in the water were unaffected. The serpent fruits were also one of the ways for the Nvwa Snake to obtain food, but during its evolution, it inevitably needed meat.
Therefore, under Tang Xian's arrangement, a group of people had already ambushed by the largest lake in the White Bone Mountain Range.
Akasi displayed the terror of a top predator, a hunter who could kill even perfect creatures, and now he had completely overwhelmed the Nvwa Snake!
Dong Ran was shocked to find that she didn't even need to lift a finger.
Akasi, with his ten talents, could see all the combat data of the Nvwa Snake.
Apart from the abnormal vitality, all other stats were below those of a normal perfect creature.
He didn't understand the principle, but his attack was relentless.
Qiao Shanshan, watching from a distance, was thrilled, her former companions had died at the hands of a disaster-level creature, and the hope of avenging them was dim.
But now, that Nvwa Snake, which should have been capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, was being beaten without the power to fight back.
Tang Xian watched the battle between Akasi and Dong Ran with a calm expression, considering what the team lacked.
The cooperation between Dong Ran and Akasi was actually just Akasi unilaterally supporting Dong Ran. Such speed suppression was terrifying, but still something was missing.
He pondered on how to compensate, but right at that moment, the battle took a turn.
The Nvwa Snake stopped defending against Akasi's attacks, allowing the strikes from Dong Ran and Akasi to land on its body. As the dagger pierced into its flesh, it grimaced painfully, spitting out its serpent tongue.
A look of destruction appeared in its eyes.
"Damn it! It's trying to forcibly revert to its true form!"
Akasi accelerated his attack, his already fearsome speed somehow managed to increase yet another notch.
But the human-shaped Nvwa Snake slowly started to grow larger, its originally fair skin covered by grayish scales.
The sharp dagger, made from purple-armored ore, couldn't penetrate the scales.
Sparks flew where the blade met the scales, leaving only a faint scratch on the hard, icy surface.
And the wind pressure from Dong Ran could no longer push it as before.
Akasi was startled to find that the Nvwa Snake, even without fully reverting to its serpentine form, was experiencing a crazy increase in all its talent data.
The once strongest vitality now seemed unremarkable compared to the other stats.
These values were still changing.
Akasi glanced at Tang Xian.
"Retreat!" Tang Xian didn't hesitate.
They had originally thought that the switch between the animal's two forms required a process or an action to trigger.
Qing JiuYu was like this.
But it seemed that when its life was in danger, it could forcibly change back to its true form.
A true disaster-level creature, even weakened from evolution, was absolutely not something they could confront head-on!
Tang Xian's thought was simple: snakes were not smarter than humans. Knowing everything about its habits, such attacks could be organized time after time.
There would always be a chance to wear it down to death in the White Bone Mountain Range.
But the Nvwa Snake was already in a fury.
It seemed to realize as well that the speaker was the leader of these people!
The serpentine body, growing larger and larger, slithered forward. It looked slow, but the distance was closing for everyone except Akasi!
Akasi, resolute, said:
"I'll cover the rear! You go!"
Tang Xian didn't make any unnecessary fuss, and Qiao Shanshan and Dong Ran also knew there was no time for regret.
The Nvwa Snake, watching the creature whose speed still caused it trouble, saw its snake eyes slowly turn white.
Opening its mouth wide, just as Akasi approached, it spat out a large cloud of white mist,
Tang Xian was startled by this scene – this breath was definitely not a Nvwa Snake's ability!
"Has it completed its evolution?"
In Akasi's memory, the Nvwa Snake didn't possess such an attack method. Although he dodged quickly – managing to evade the mist instantaneously despite being very close to the Nvwa Snake – a small amount still touched him.
Instantly, ice crystals formed on his legs!
The Nvwa Snake continued its furious spray, and in no time, the entire lake had frozen over!
The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and everything in sight turned from high summer to bitter winter.
"Is... is this a disaster-level creature?" Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan felt weak at the knees.
They finally felt firsthand the terror of a disaster-level creature and understood the origin of the term "disaster."
An area covered in ice and snow, even the most violent blizzard couldn't cover such a vast expanse in a short period. Discover hidden stories at empire
Akasi's speed, hindered by the ice, struggled as the ice crystals seemed to pierce through his calves. Clenching his teeth, he tried to draw the Nvwa Snake's attention, but his speed was far too slow.
The Nvwa Snake paid no attention to Akasi and quickly caught up with Tang Xian and the others.
Tang Xian, who had been holding Tang Xiaojiu's hand, looked back and saw the Nvwa Snake's needs from the current demand analysis.
"It's coming for me. If this continues, everyone will die."
Tang Xian had miscalculated; indeed, he didn't expect a Nvwa Snake that had not completed its evolution to prematurely use the ability of the White Phosphorus Serpent Demon.
Tang Xiaojiu thought she must protect her brother, Tang Xian, and was ready to use her fox fire to fight the Nvwa Snake to the death.
But what happened next came too quickly! So swiftly that Tang Xiaojiu could hardly react.
The massive Nvwa Snake finally completed its transformation. The gray scales on its head, due to the loss of vitality, and the great crisis instead sped up its evolution—
That last piece of gray scale was slowly turning white!
Just a little more, some essential nourishment, and it would evolve from a Nvwa Snake into a terrifying White Phosphorus Serpent Demon.
