177: Chapter 177 Something's Wrong
"It's all for the sake of survival, so naturally, they fight with their lives on the line. The good show is just beginning!" Xiao Yao observed everything.
The One-Eyed Wolf King suddenly bit the head of the Nightmare Magic Spider. The Golden Eyed Snake did not move, clearly wanting to reap the benefits of their struggle.
The One-Eyed Wolf King bit off the entire head of the Nightmare Magic Spider and swallowed it whole into its stomach.
The Golden Eyed Snake also made its final strike, constricting the One-Eyed Wolf King tightly as the two became entangled.
Mu Cheng suddenly asked softly, "Which of those two do you think will be the final winner? They clearly had a chance to escape, so why did they choose to continue fighting?"
"The One-Eyed Wolf King has a better chance of winning. The intelligence of this kind of monster is already comparable to half a human. Humans are driven by Greed, and it is naturally the same, so it won't let go easily," the monk said with a serious face.
Xiao Yao also expressed, "Yes, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by becoming stronger can one survive and protect those who should be protected."
"Alright, alright, you're off-topic." Mu Cheng didn't want to hear this kind of chicken soup for the soul, so he suddenly spoke up to stop them.
Sure enough, after a short while, just as the monk had said, the Golden Eyed Snake was bitten in half.
Xiao Yao took out a black gold sword and slowly walked forward.
"I'll deal with the One-Eyed Wolf King with all my strength alone. You guys stay put and wait for my signal. Either I kill it, or we retreat immediately!"
"There's really no need to go that hard, right?" Mu Cheng suddenly couldn't understand what Xiao Yao was trying to do.
However, he also sensed that things were definitely not simple; he felt that something was not quite right.
But Xiao Yao wouldn't listen at all, reaching the front of the One-Eyed Wolf King at a very fast speed.
The One-Eyed Wolf King, noticing Xiao Yao, began to move cautiously and stared intently at her every move.
Xiao Luolu, gripping the black gold sword, also kept moving lightly around the One-Eyed Wolf King. This One-Eyed Wolf King was very fast, unlike the slow-moving Black Giant Scorpion King they had encountered before.
The wolf and the person observed each other for a long time until the One-Eyed Wolf King finally moved, its sharp claws pouncing toward Xiao Yao.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yao simply flicked the black gold sword in her hand and easily blocked the attack.
"Is this all the strength you have? It seems you're nothing special."
The One-Eyed Wolf King was particularly clever, immediately pulling back and cautiously circling her again.
"This can't go on forever." Xiao Yao decided to risk it all.
She took the initiative to attack, gripping the black gold sword and stabbing toward the One-Eyed Wolf King's head. After the One-Eyed Wolf King dodged, it pounced back again.
Xiao Yao had actually chosen to expose a flaw to lure the One-Eyed Wolf King closer to her.
Suddenly she moved, thrusting the black gold sword out simply, catching the One-Eyed Wolf King off guard.
However, it still managed to dodge, though the sharp black gold sword had already sliced across the One-Eyed Wolf King's face, causing black blood to instantly drip out.
But after a moment, the bleeding stopped, leaving only a long scar.
The One-Eyed Wolf King suddenly became extremely cautious, and in less than three seconds, it thought about fleeing.
At the same time, a hidden hint appeared in front of Mu Cheng.
[Warning! Warning! Warning! A large number of 3-star to 5-star Realm King God level monsters are approaching. Detected Ghost Werewolf *1, level unknown.]
"Xiao Yao, come back first. The situation is wrong," Mu Cheng suddenly shouted.
Xiao Yao also quickly retreated. "Indeed... we are surrounded now."
"Look over there!" The monk's voice suddenly came through.
Directly ahead, the main issue wasn't anything else but the One-Eyed Wolf King being tightly surrounded by another large wave of monsters.
Their strength was roughly between 3-star Realm King God and 6-star Realm King God.
Monsters usually don't kill each other, but under the temptation of star-glow crystals, turning on each other happens in an instant.
And they are more frenzied than the human race—a suicidal kind of madness.
"Let's hide first!" Mu Cheng had already felt it wasn't that simple, and now with the hidden hint appearing,
he was certain... this was only the beginning.
The monk and Xiao Yao cooperated perfectly and hid themselves...
Another three hours passed. Black blood had stained those energy pillars that hadn't fallen over. In the end, it was a pyrrhic victory for the One-Eyed Wolf King.
Exhausted, it could barely stand.
The monk almost didn't dare to look at the scene.
"This is too terrifying. How about we just leave!"
But Xiao Yao was naturally waiting for such an opportunity. Suddenly, in a flash, the black gold sword in her hand plunged into the One-Eyed Wolf King's head.
Although it had been stabbed, it didn't deal a fatal blow to the One-Eyed Wolf King, but the One-Eyed Wolf King was already on the verge of collapsing.
"Xiao Yao... when did you develop such brute force?" Mu Cheng was shocked.
However, not daring to be careless, he walked forward. "Be careful, things... won't be this simple."
"If that's the case, I'll accompany you to the end." The monk didn't back down, but his voice clearly lacked confidence.
At that moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
A black gold sword stabbed toward Mu Cheng, but fortunately, his reaction speed was also very fast.
qianji transformed into a black gold sword and appeared in his hand, blocking it easily. Before he could see clearly what it was, it vanished again.
The monk asked cautiously, "What happened just now?"
"Be careful! These people do not come with good intentions." Mu Cheng kept staring at the surroundings, not daring to relax for a second.
Xiao Yao and the monk were also very cautious. Suddenly, a dozen or so men in black appeared and surrounded the three of them tightly.
The leader was a man holding a large black gold blade. He was over two meters tall, and although he was masked, he revealed powerful shoulders.
"Kid, die!" the man shouted, aiming the large gold blade at Mu Cheng.
Xiao Yao walked forward slowly. "Leave all the others to me. You guys handle that big guy!"
Mu Cheng didn't dare to be careless and instantly released his Battle Qi. "You just stay back, I'll handle him."
"You have quite a big mouth. I'd like to see what kind of strength you have."
The big guy waved his hand, and one of the men in black suddenly vanished.
Mu Cheng shouted anxiously, "Don't let that person leave! He's going to take the information out."
Paper cannot wrap fire forever. Xiao Yao didn't care at all and said calmly, "This wasn't a secret that couldn't see the light of day anyway. What if the information gets out? If one comes, I'll kill one; if a pair comes, I'll kill a pair."
The big guy: "You talk big, show me your strength."
"To deal with you, two fingers are enough," Xiao Yao suddenly blurted out.
"Look at the people you brought; it seems they're all gone," Mu Cheng chimed in suddenly.
The big guy finally reacted and found that everyone had been finished off by the monk, leaving him all alone.
"This... what's the situation?"
"It's exactly as you see. If you want to seek death, then hurry up!"
Xiao Yao suddenly lost all interest, retracted the black gold sword, and returned to Mu Cheng's side.
"Master, why don't you do it!"
"I'll do it then. My hands have been itching for a while." Mu Cheng walked forward slowly, qianji in his hand transforming into a black gold heavy sword.
Monk: "No, from now on you should be the one to solve the trouble. If you can't, then Xiao Yao. If that still doesn't work, let's just run for it!"
"Let's settle this quickly! You're not even qualified." Mu Cheng didn't want to waste time here and spoke with absolute dominance.
"Forget it, seeing Master talk so much nonsense, I know he plans to let him go."
Xiao Yao suddenly flashed past, and the big guy tumbled to the ground, losing his ability to move.
Mu Cheng felt it was a bit cruel and said slowly, "This... can't we just give him a break?"
Once Mu Cheng realized what he said, he couldn't believe he would say such a thing.
"What's going on? Could it be the influence of the Bloodline Power? It seems so."
The current Mu Cheng... already felt the Bloodline Power starting to gradually influence him again.
"Forget it... Master can figure it out himself!" Xiao Yao was speechless, and to save face,
she returned to the consciousness space. "Next... Master can handle it himself!"
"This... forget it, but we still need to be careful." Mu Cheng didn't dare to be careless, after all, on the hidden hint...
there was still that Ghost Werewolf...
"It seems there shouldn't be any danger, and this isn't the end of the Ice Sand Divine Vein yet. Since we're here, let's keep going to find out!" The monk didn't feel anything was wrong and walked at the very front.
"It seems I can only leave for now." In the shadows, a man in a suit saw that Xiao Yao had such strength and didn't dare to provoke them easily.
Before long, he disappeared without a trace...
"He finally left. Master, next let Xiao Yao... see exactly what level has been reached." Xiao Yao let out a deep sigh of relief in her heart.
Mu Cheng and the monk continued deeper inside. Suddenly, a huge body jumped out with a roar.
It was a Diamond Bear with 9th Order Realm King God level strength. It also had a black gold attribute body, a relatively small head, and two large front teeth protruding from its mouth.
With huge golden claws and powerful hind legs, its height while crawling was a full six meters. It could be considered a local overlord in this forest.
"You stay to the side! I'll handle everything from here." Lin Mo, holding the black gold heavy sword, walked forward slowly, not panicking in the slightest.
As the Diamond Bear entered attack range, Mu Cheng, holding the black gold heavy sword, stabbed at the Diamond Bear's head, but this attack was like an itch to the Diamond Bear.
Instead, it enraged the Diamond Bear, and its huge claws pounced toward him.
"You've got some skill, but that's all!" Seeing the situation was bad, Mu Cheng transformed qianji into a black shield to block it.
Mu Cheng suddenly vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already on the Diamond Bear's back.
After the Diamond Bear discovered Mu Cheng was on its back, it suddenly started shaking its body violently.
Mu Cheng wasn't easy to deal with either. Suddenly, a black gold spear stabbed into the Diamond Bear's back, preventing him from being thrown off. But being stabbed like that, the Diamond Bear started crashing into large trees.
"Not good, this guy isn't simple." Mu Cheng hurriedly retracted the black gold heavy sword and jumped off the Diamond Bear.
The entire large tree was knocked down, and black blood dripped from the Diamond Bear's wound. The monk knew his own limits; helping in this situation would only add to the chaos, so he had to stay honestly on the side.
"It seems there are quite a few people." Mu Cheng suddenly sensed three auras, and they were quite strong.
Before long, Mu Cheng realized he couldn't keep wasting time with the Diamond Bear like this.
He had to show some strength to scare off those three people who wanted to reap the benefits. Suddenly, qianji transformed into a large iron hammer in his hand.
His Battle Qi instantly erupted... the momentum was extremely powerful.
After the Diamond Bear sensed the threat, it pounced over at high speed once again.
Mu Cheng gripped the large iron hammer with both hands and slammed it hard against the Diamond Bear's head, burying the entire head into the ground.
Seeing the Diamond Bear was still struggling, the large iron hammer transformed from Mu Cheng's qianji instantly turned into a black gold spear and was thrust violently into the Diamond Bear's head.
A fat man in the shadows asked softly, "Boss, should we make a move?"
"Are you an idiot? We should leave quickly. He took down the Diamond Bear so easily; the three of us going over there is just asking for death!" The leading man smacked the fat man's head and said angrily.
The monk sensed that those three people had left and said softly, "Those three have left. Let's continue on our way!"
Mu Cheng said triumphantly, "So you noticed too. Those three saw my strength and didn't even dare to make a move!"
"Look at Master's smug face, just keep showing off!" Xiao Yao's voice suddenly came through.
Mu Cheng and the monk continued further in. Suddenly, three figures appeared in front of them: a fat man, a thin man, and another man who didn't look very old. One wore a red short-sleeved shirt with black jeans, one had blue hair, and one had red hair.
The fat man held a large gold blade, and the thin man held a dagger. He wore a black suit, and his yellow hair made him look very quiet. From the surface, he looked a bit effeminate, holding a gold spear that also looked quite ordinary.
"Boss, these three don't look simple!" the fat man said.
The man in the suit didn't take Lin Mo's group seriously at all. He walked forward very arrogantly and shouted, "You three, your grandpa here is a bit short on cash lately. You'd better hand over your valuables, or die!"
Mu Cheng calmly took out a star-glow crystal energy crystal, tossed it lightly in his hand, and shouted, "Do you think this is valuable? If you have the guts, come and take it."
When the fat man saw the star-glow crystal energy crystal, his eyes turned red, and he immediately rushed over.
"Boss, just leave that guy to me!"
"Be careful, Fatty! This guy might not be simple." The thin man felt something was wrong and hurriedly shouted.
"Perfect timing, I wanted to stretch my muscles too." Mu Cheng wasn't afraid of anyone; if they wanted to fight, he'd take them on to the end.
"Be careful! These three are not simple," Xiao Yao suddenly reminded him with concern.
The fat man suddenly erupted with Battle Qi, gripping the large gold blade with both hands and slashing at Mu Cheng with great speed.
"Go to hell!"
Mu Cheng originally intended to test the fat man's strength, but now it seemed... he wasn't qualified at all.
He caught the attack with his bare hands. "Is this all the strength you have? I really don't know who gave you the courage to say such things."
The fat man wouldn't show mercy and slashed again. Mu Cheng had no choice but to strike back.
"Too weak. I thought you were actually powerful."
He caught the attack very easily again, and it was at this moment that Mu Cheng noticed something was wrong.
"Strange... they are only at the Ninth Order Peak, so why does it feel like their strength is no lower than a 6-star Realm King God?"
"Good strength. I really underestimated you." Unable to gain any advantage, the fat man hurriedly pulled back, forced to take things seriously.
