251: Chapter 251 Pig Cage Snake Lizard

Nie Ning's expression was wooden as he stared blankly at the spot where Heloise had disappeared.

Ignoring his severed arm, Nie Ning turned to look at Paramond and the other man rushing toward him.

"Enjoy the rest of your lives. Once I find you, everyone related to you will die!"

Nie Ning said calmly as he looked at the two of them.

Hearing Nie Ning's flat tone, Paramond and Ryan felt a chill run down their spines.

"Then go die with them!"

Paramond's expression turned fierce, and he immediately summoned a tornado to strike the Teleportation Array.

But as a blue light lit up on the Teleportation Array, Nie Ning gave the two of them a deep look, as if to engrave their faces into his memory, and then he disappeared within the array.

"Damn it!"

Paramond looked at the Teleportation Array on the ground in a fit of rage.

Beside him, Ryan remained silent, the cold gaze Nie Ning had given them before disappearing constantly replaying in his mind...

...

When Nie Ning opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the Teleportation Array leading to the Trial Grounds.

Nie Ning clenched his fist; blood dripped continuously from his severed arm onto the ground, but the physical pain could not suppress the rage in his heart.

Although he usually enjoyed bickering with Heloise, he had always treated her like his own sister, even teaching her the Stairway to Godhood.

They were so close to all escaping; why did it turn out like this!

The spatial rift was incredibly dangerous; it was almost impossible to come out alive.

Not just Heloise, but even Sensen had fallen into the spatial rift along with her.

"When I find you, I will definitely make you wish you were dead!"

Nie Ning roared through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for Paramond, Heloise and Sensen wouldn't have died. It's all their fault!

...

One week later.

Nie Ning stood on Narnia Holy Mountain.

After resting for so long, Nie Ning's injuries had completely healed.

However, compared to his cheerful mood when entering the mountain, Nie Ning's face now showed no emotional fluctuation.

Although his physical wounds had healed, Nie Ning's mood remained terrible.

Heloise's departure was a heavy blow to him, and it made him realize that his strength was too weak.

Turning back to look at the cave, Nie Ning used his Earth Control Skill to seal it, then directly transformed into a mass of blood clouds and fled back in the direction he had come from.

...

After spending five days, Nie Ning returned to the sea once again.

Looking at the boundless ocean, Nie Ning dove headfirst into the deep sea.

With the help of the dark vision provided by his Strange Beast Body, Nie Ning soon found a pitted area on the seabed, which looked like traces left by some large creature.

Back then, they had been chased by a Tier 4 sea beast in the ocean for several days.

Nie Ning's goal for this trip was simple: to take down every exotic beast in the sea that he hadn't killed yet!

Last time they were in a hurry, and it was too boring, so they didn't spend much time on the sea.

Sharpening the axe doesn't delay the woodcutting; although he couldn't advance to the Fourth Ring yet, as long as he hunted enough exotic beasts, he could quickly catch up once he broke through.

Besides, after leaving this time, he might not have another chance to return here, so naturally, he wanted to have a killing spree.

Having found his target, Nie Ning activated his rapid travel mode in the water, chasing into the distance along the tracks on the ground like a swimming fish.

...

The ocean was vast, and Nie Ning swam for two days before finding that massive figure.

Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard.

It was thirty meters long, with a slender snake tail and a body as fat as a pig, covered in slippery, light gray skin.

Its head resembled a seal's, with a white horn on its forehead, thick limbs, and feet like a duck's webbed feet; it was adept at using ice-type skills.

The Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard roamed the seabed, moving slowly with its fan-like feet.

As one of the few Tier 4 creatures in this world, the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's power was unquestionable.

Adept at using ice-type skills, its strong body allowed it to be fearless in head-on combat.

Seemingly sensing movement behind it, the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard flicked its slender tail, instantly churning up the seabed dust and clouding the water.

Nie Ning searched around when suddenly a bloody maw appeared beneath his feet.

Seeing this, Nie Ning drew the long sword from his waist.

With the empowerment of wind and thunder power, lightning flowed over the blade of the xueyan bladeless, and Nie Ning slashed down at the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard below.

A five-meter-wide Wind-Thunder Blade cut through the seawater and struck toward the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard.

Sensing the energy contained within the Wind-Thunder Blade, the single horn atop the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's head lit up with a white light, followed by a white ray that froze the seawater into ice wherever it passed.

The two energies collided, briefly displacing the seawater within a hundred-meter radius.

The Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard took the opportunity to advance, its massive body suddenly turning as its slender snake tail swept rapidly toward Nie Ning.

Nie Ning deployed two Ice Barriers in front of him, but the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's physical strength was incredibly powerful, shattering the Ice Barriers in an instant and then swatting toward Nie Ning's face.

Seeing this, Nie Ning hurriedly activated his Strange Beast Body and blocked with the xueyan bladeless in front of him.

The moment the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's tail touched the blade, a terrifying force struck; even with the seawater acting as a buffer, Nie Ning was still sent flying hundreds of meters away.

It was a Tier 4 creature after all, and dealing with it was indeed a bit taxing.

Nie Ning calmed his roiling blood and looked at the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard as it charged again.

Using the exertion techniques of shrimp-like creatures, Nie Ning dodged the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's collision, and with wind and thunder power empowering his blade, he slashed across the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's smooth body.

Although Xueyan was unedged, Nie Ning had long ago experimented and found that it would become incredibly sharp when empowered by Elemental Power.

A gash was cut into the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's body by Xueyan, and red blood dyed the surrounding water a pale crimson.

In its pain, the horn on the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's head lit up, freezing a large area of seawater, and Nie Ning, unable to dodge in time, was trapped within.

The Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard suddenly curled its body, spinning at high speed like a top in the water, before violently whipping its slender tail at Nie Ning.

Battle Qi erupted within Nie Ning's body, shattering the ice surrounding him.

As Five Elemental Powers were infused into the blade, Nie Ning swung his weapon, and in an instant, a white blade qi with colored spots of light struck the snake tail directly.

'Bang!'

A muffled explosion rang out in the water.

In an instant, the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's tail was blown off, and the gushing blood dyed the area red.

Meanwhile, Nie Ning was forced back by the shockwave of the explosion, unable to stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Compared to the ground, explosions in water are more destructive, much like being in a confined space; the closer to the center, the more exaggerated the destructive power.

After being injured, the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard clearly felt the threat and turned, flapping its fan-like feet to swim away.

But after losing its tail, the Pig-Cage Snake-Lizard's speed had noticeably slowed down.
