79: With a body as fluid as a snake, Wu Jing was bullied.
Xiao Song was completely stunned after hearing Professor Han's words.
He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
This Crimson Flame Serpent could be called 'one in ten thousand'; it's practically the cream of the crop among those trained. Its power must be quite formidable, right?
Can Ye Bai and the others handle it?
"Then aren't they in great danger?" Xiao Song was currently worried about their safety.
"The Corpse Scent Konjac is terrifying, but this thing is even more terrifying than the Corpse Scent Konjac because it doesn't have a physical form."
Professor Han was feeling a bit hopeless. He had originally thought Ye Bai was a talent and wanted to recruit him into the School of Biology, but how could they recruit him now?
With the Crimson Flame Serpent merged with this blood pool, finding its true physical form is easier said than done.
"No physical form? Isn't this a physical form?"
Xiao Song was stunned again. What did that mean? Wasn't what they were seeing a physical form?
"Xiao Song, you don't understand. This is a body built up from the blood in the blood pool, but it's not the original body. This kind of snake once appeared in an Ancient Book, but whether it truly existed was unknown. Now it seems the Crimson Flame Serpent is not without foundation."
"As for how to find the original body, none of us know, and we can't help Ye Bai."
Another professor spoke up upon seeing Xiao Song's bewildered expression.
"Then wouldn't they..."
Xiao Song's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt despair.
Could they only watch helplessly as they waited for death?
"It's probably too late to run now."
Professor Han stared intently at Ye Bai and the others, his eyes filled with despair.
Inside the Tomb.
When Yang Mi and Wu Jing saw the blood-red giant snake before them, their minds went blank.
Seeing people there, the Crimson Flame Serpent first attacked the person closest to it.
Seeing this, Wu Jing reacted quickly, pulling Yang Mi back before drawing his Dagger and slashing at the snake's face.
Whoosh!
Puchi!
A watery mark was slashed across the snake's face, but it quickly merged back together.
Wu Jing was stunned!
He looked at the blood snake in front of him in disbelief.
What's going on? Why is this snake's body like water?
Just as he was in shock, the blood snake suddenly lunged at Wu Jing.
Bang!
"Holy crap!"
Wu Jing was heavily knocked to the ground, sliding several meters before stopping.
He clutched his chest for a good while before struggling to stand up.
His gaze toward the blood snake was full of shock.
How... He couldn't hit it, but one hit from it could send him flying.
Is this some kind of special treatment?
"Brother Jing!"
Hua Chenyu, Zhang Dada, and the others rushed toward Wu Jing.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing Wu Jing clutching his chest, Zhang Dada asked with concern.
He couldn't have anything happen to him; they were still counting on Wu Jing to protect them.
"What happened just now? Was I seeing things? Why did the snake's head seem to dissolve and then merge back together when Brother Jing's Dagger stabbed it? Why?"
Huang Zitao said with a look of horror.
"How should I know what's going on?"
Just as Wu Jing finished speaking, he saw the blood-red giant snake coming again.
"Brother Jing! Watch out!"
Bai Lu suddenly shouted.
Upon seeing this, Cai Xukun, Zhang Dada, and the others quickly crouched on the ground with their heads covered, clearly feeling a powerful gust of astral wind flash past overhead.
And it carried a scent of blood.
Seeing the blood snake staring at him, Wu Jing no longer hesitated, gripping his Dagger tightly.
"Damn it! I don't believe this blood snake will be the same as before."
This time, Wu Jing intended to stab fiercely at the blood snake's eye.
Just as the blood snake was about to close in, a pitch-black blade suddenly appeared in front of Wu Jing's face, just in time to block the blood snake's attack.
Clang!
Wu Jing felt a chill on his face. Looking along the edge of the blade, he saw Ye Bai's face.
"You are no match for it."
Ye Bai said calmly.
"This snake..."
Wu Jing quickly retreated and looked at Ye Bai standing in front of him.
"Crimson Flame Serpent. It has no physical form."
Ye Bai said only that before heading straight for it.
Leaving Wu Jing stunned there alone. What did he say? What do you mean it has no physical form?
Isn't the snake right in front of us? How can it not have a physical form?
"Brother Jing, how are you?"
Yang Mi quickly took out anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medication for him. That hit from the blood snake wasn't light; she hoped he wasn't seriously injured.
Wu Jing didn't stand on ceremony, took them, and swallowed them.
He was very concerned about Ye Bai now; this snake was truly bizarre.
Ye Bai held the black gold ancient blade and made a slight slash toward the blood snake's head.
A clear blood mark appeared on the snake's head, which was split open by the blade.
As the blade flashed past, the mark merged once more.
Ye Bai watched the blood merge and the giant snake return to its previous state, opening its mouth wide to bite him.
In the Live Stream Room—
[Holy crap! Holy crap! What kind of snake is this? Why is its body like that? I thought I was seeing things before, but it turns out it's all real.]
[No way! What's with this body? We can't attack it, but it can attack us? What kind of snake is this? This species is seriously insane.]
[What now? This is really troublesome, even harder to deal with than the Corpse Scent Konjac.]
[Never mind that, let's think about how to escape. This thing is clearly toying with us; run quickly!!]
[How can they run? Even if they escape, what about the people from the Archaeology Academy? If blades don't work, will bullets?]
[Then what? Are we counting on Ye Bai? Ye Bai is strong, but if bullets aren't a match, can that blade really do it?]
[What's wrong with the blade? Little Brother Ye Bai has been solving problems all along the way!!]
[Go for it, Little Brother Ye Bai! Go, go!!!]
After seeing the blood snake's abilities, the audience was shocked and even felt despair for them.
This blood snake looked massive with incredibly hard scales, but who would have thought it was made of blood? How could they fight this?
Now they were just hoping the Archaeological Team and the Search and Rescue Team would get in quickly.
Inside the Forbidden Ground.
Ye Bai narrowed his eyes after seeing the Crimson Flame Serpent's body merge.
According to Zhang Qilin's memories, the Crimson Flame Serpent would be kept in the blood pool after being tempered, and the geographical location of this blood pool played a crucial role—it was Sorcery.
Using Sorcery for fusion, the Crimson Flame Serpent's true original body was merged into the blood pool.
This original body was as small as a marble; finding it was indeed difficult.
But that was for others; for Zhang Qilin, it was a piece of cake.
Ye Bai's gaze darkened as he stared closely at the Crimson Flame Serpent before him.
Right at the top of the Crimson Flame Serpent's head, something seemed to be wriggling.
With just one look, Ye Bai was certain that this was the Crimson Flame Serpent's original body...
