101: Fighting an 89-level Serpent Dragon? Are you kidding me?

“Brother Gu, wait a moment, I’ll break these rocks!”

“Oh, no, no, no, absolutely not!”

At this moment, the Black God Grotto had just stabilized, and there were still some slight aftershocks.

If Jiang Banxia were to shatter the stone wall in front of them, causing the entire grotto to shake again, things might get even worse!

Consultant quickly stopped Jiang Banxia's crazy act.

“Don’t be impulsive. You go find a way out first. I’ll check the other paths here, and we’ll meet outside later!”

Jiang Banxia, hearing Consultant’s words, was obedient. “Alright, I’ll look for an exit first. Hurry up!”

“Got it!”

Consultant said, just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to shout, “Oh right, remember to be careful of those people. They should still be around here!”

“...”

This time, there was no response from Jiang Banxia’s side; she seemed to have already left.

Consultant lightly clicked his tongue, only able to pray that Jiang Banxia wouldn’t encounter those people... After splitting up, Consultant steadied the Slime on his head and took out his magic wand again.

For him, leaving here was far less important than completing Yilman’s test for him.

So Consultant waved his magic wand again, drawing a green glow.

“Hope this path hasn’t been destroyed.”

Consultant muttered softly, following the green glow, continuing to advance through the pitch-black grotto.

Since he didn't bring a light or anything to illuminate, he had a difficult journey, often bumping into walls as he walked, making him a bit disheveled.

But his luck wasn't bad this time.

After the geological movements, the intricate paths of the Black God Grotto actually became easier to navigate.

Many paths were shattered, and the surrounding space became much larger.

Each green glow could last for a few minutes.

After continuously creating three glows, Consultant finally saw the green glow floating in a certain spot, no longer moving.

“Is this the place?”

The place where the green light stopped was very spacious, and there was a damp, earthy smell in the air.

But it was too dark around, so Consultant didn't approach rashly. He waved his staff and drew a basic rune.

“Illumination Rune!”

The rune floated in Consultant’s hand like a firefly. As Consultant infused magic into it, a faint light gradually brightened, illuminating the surroundings. This was a huge cave, as large as a sports field.

As Consultant infused magic into it, a faint light gradually brightened, illuminating the surroundings. This was a huge cave, as large as a sports field.

There were several deep and shallow rune marks under his feet, seemingly representing the magic array Yilman had once set up here.

Following the shape of the runes, Consultant saw a dark shadow ahead.

The shadow was like a giant stone pillar, with strange folds on it, completely black with some white spots, swaying slightly... Consultant squinted and took two steps closer, then froze.

“Damn it!”

Consultant couldn't help but curse, and quickly extinguished the rune light in his hand with a backhand.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings once more, yet what he had just seen with his own eyes remained in Consultant's mind, lingering.

It was a snake.

This was not surprising; Yilman had mentioned before that the magical beast he sealed here was a snake.

However.

Consultant swallowed with some difficulty, and after calming down for a moment, he flipped his hand over again, lighting up the glow.

“Hiss...”

A red forked tongue, as thick as a bucket, appeared and swayed in front of Consultant’s eyes.

Swish!

Consultant extinguished the light in his hand again.

That... was a snake’s tongue, right?

The surrounding sounds should also be the sound of that snake moving.

An illusion!

It must be his grandpa’s illusion!

Consultant couldn't help but take a step back, only to find that the path behind him had disappeared, replaced by an extremely cold sensation.

Subconsciously, he reached out and touched it, feeling sticky, cold scales!

“Gulp.”

“Gulp!”

Consultant and the Slime on his head simultaneously let out a gulping sound. Like master, like pet. Helplessly, he couldn't see, and couldn't stay in the dark forever, so Consultant lit the rune one last time.

The next second, a snake appeared before Consultant.

This snake was nearly a hundred meters long, covered in black scales, and its body was so thick it could seemingly bore a train tunnel!

At this moment, its triangular snake head stood before Consultant, its body coiled around him, and upon closer inspection, its black scales were covered with terrifying barbs!

A pair of emotionless snake eyes stared at Consultant, a crimson tongue flicking out... “Yilman... you call this thing a small snake?!”

Consultant's heart was filled with shock!

Initially, when Yilman spoke of this test, his tone was very calm, and only Jiang Cen’s expression showed a slight change.

Consultant hadn't really thought about Yilman, but seeing Jiang Cen's expression, he merely thought that a slightly larger snake, perhaps ten or twenty meters long, was sealed here.

But now, seeing it with his own eyes... this was practically a legless dragon!

At this moment, various thoughts surged through Consultant's mind. Thinking to the end, he flipped his wrist, put away his staff, and decided that no matter the test, Yilman was clearly trying to kill him!

Is this something an ordinary person can deal with?!

Run!

However, before he could even move his feet, the giant black snake shook its head, and Consultant inexplicably met its pair of inorganic snake eyes.

The snake eyes emitted an eerie purple light!

At the same time, that eerie aura that made Consultant uncomfortable returned. Along with this eerie aura, Consultant discovered in horror that he couldn't move!

Let alone escaping, he could barely move a finger now, only able to stare wide-eyed at the black snake.

The black snake gazed at Consultant, slowly approaching, then opened its foul-smelling maw and uttered a sentence:

“Human... do you think... it’s very fun?”

Its voice sounded extremely cold, and although not very fluent, it shocked Consultant even more!

This was a talking magical beast?!

Consultant widened his eyes, incredulously activating his system's ability to look at the Black Marsh Serpent Dragon—

Monster Name: Serpent Dragon—Black Marsh.

Level: 89.

Race: Serpent Dragon.

Nature: Chaotic Evil.

Description: King of Serpent Dragons, named Black Marsh, a member of the evil omen ancient dragon species, sealed here by the Oracle. When it escapes and completes its next molt, it will transcend racial limitations and possess power comparable to gods!

The system's evaluation of this is... when ten thousand swords descend, the earth shall be utterly destroyed!

This description made even Consultant, in his controlled state, twitch at the corners of his mouth.

Level 89?

King of Serpent Dragons?

evil omen Ancient Dragon species?

Power comparable to gods?!

Coupled with that final, prophecy-like evaluation... Consultant stared at Black Marsh’s terrifying snake head, gritting his teeth as he spat out a few words.

“Yilman... damn you to hell!”
