Boom! Boom! Boom!
A pale blue light surged forward rapidly.
At the same time, a chilling cold spread throughout the cave.
"Brother Ye, are you sure this will work?"
Liu Han looked at the three explosion talismans in Ye Wangchuan's hand, his expression filled with doubt.
Although the talismans crafted by the Third Elder of the Ye family were indeed powerful...
But could the talismans that Ye Wangchuan could activate really compare to a third-level divine ability?
"Don't worry."
Ye Wangchuan remained completely calm as he quickly wrapped the three talismans around a stone.
Then, he hurled the stone directly toward the icy blue light!
The force of the second-level power erupted, and the stone shot toward the light like a bullet!
Just as the two were about to collide, Li Luo's mind stirred.
In an instant, the three talismans glowed red!
"Get behind the stone."
Ye Wangchuan decisively pulled the others behind a large rock.
Just as Liu Han was filled with doubt...
Boom!!!!
Boom!!!!
Boom!!!!
Three earth-shattering explosions rang out.
The deafening noise reverberated endlessly within the narrow cave.
A burst of flames pierced through the blue light and shot toward the third-level giant snake!
The explosion talismans dealt fire-based damage.
And the blue light spat out by the giant snake was primarily composed of icy wind.
Naturally, it couldn't withstand the flames.
As the raging flames surged forward...
The giant snake, which had been spitting out its divine ability, froze in place.
In the next moment, it began to feel a searing heat.
And this heat was growing more intense by the second!
"Hiss—!"
The scorched snake finally reacted and immediately turned to burrow into the stone wall!
But unfortunately, the explosion spread too quickly.
Boom!!!!
Boom!!!!
The entire cave instantly collapsed under the force of the explosion talismans.
The ground beneath Ye Wangchuan and the others also gave way!
The three of them immediately began to plummet downward!
Ye Wangchuan quickly pulled out a spear and stabbed it into the remaining section of the stone wall, using his other hand to grab hold of Li Luo.
As for Liu Han, there was nothing he could do.
Ye Wangchuan simply didn't have a free hand to save him.
But Ye Wangchuan wasn't too worried. Falling into an abyss was a common trope for protagonists in novels.
Liu Han, being a child of destiny, couldn't possibly die from a fall!
As for saving Li Luo, it was just a way to earn some goodwill and make it easier to take advantage of him later.
Ye Wangchuan controlled his strength, allowing himself to slide slowly down the stone wall into the bottomless abyss.
There was bound to be some great opportunity down there!
...
...
Just as Ye Wangchuan had predicted.
Liu Han, falling from a great height, didn't feel any pain upon landing.
He looked down in confusion and found himself in a vast, white underground snowfield.
The snow on the ground was made of some unknown material, incredibly soft, allowing him to survive the fall unscathed.
Moreover, the snow glowed, illuminating the area as brightly as daylight, even deep underground.
Liu Han shivered uncontrollably.
It was cold. Too cold.
The temperature in this snowfield was around minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Liu Han, an ordinary person whose cultivation hadn't even reached the first level, naturally found it difficult to withstand such extreme cold.
He looked around, trying to find a place to shelter from the cold while waiting for Brother Ye to rescue him.
The snowfield stretched endlessly in all directions.
As Liu Han scanned the area, he suddenly noticed something resembling an altar several hundred meters away.
Swish— Swish—
Liu Han had just taken a few steps toward the altar when...
Boom!
A massive, five-hundred-meter-long flesh-colored white grub fell from the sky!
Upon closer inspection, Liu Han realized it wasn't a grub.
It was the third-level giant snake from before!
The snake's body was covered in bloody wounds, its scales falling off in large patches, revealing cracked white bones beneath.
Its head was the most severely damaged, looking as though it had been roasted over a fire for three days and nights, with the flesh peeling away to expose the bone.
It lay on the ground, its body weakly rising and falling.
Liu Han was utterly shocked.
Were the explosion talismans Brother Ye used really that powerful?
Even a third-level beast could be so easily crippled!
At that moment, the giant snake on the ground noticed Liu Han.
Sensing that Liu Han had no spiritual energy in his body—that he was just a weakling whose cultivation hadn't even reached the second level—the snake arrogantly rose up and hissed at him.
"Hiss—!"
Liu Han panicked and immediately turned to run!
A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. He wasn't foolish enough to think he could fight the snake.
Although the front half of the snake was severely injured, its rear half had been hidden underground, and the explosion talismans had a limited range, so the rear half of the snake was relatively unharmed.
Boom—
The snake's tail swung toward Liu Han at an astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan was slowly sliding down the stone wall.
Seeing the snake, now resembling a living racetrack, lunging toward Liu Han, Ye Wangchuan sighed helplessly.
He definitely wouldn't make it in time.
So...
Liu Han was about to unleash his hidden power!
As the massive snake tail bore down on him, Liu Han felt a wave of despair.
This is it. I'm done for.
Just then...
"Hmph! A mere snake dares to act so arrogantly! Watch as this old man destroys you!"
Old Qin's voice emerged from within Liu Han.
In the next moment...
Whoosh!
A necklace flew out from Liu Han's clothing.
On the necklace was a piece of jade.
The jade flashed with a green light, and a massive green hand emerged!
The hand was a thousand meters long, and compared to it, the third-level giant snake looked like a toothpick.
Tiny and insignificant!
"Die!"
With Old Qin's command, the hand slammed down, crushing the snake instantly!
The force of the hand's impact sent waves of snow flying across the snowfield!
After a moment, the green hand dissipated.
All that remained on the snowfield was a thousand-meter-long handprint and the twisted corpse of the giant snake.
[Ding! Host has assisted in defeating a third-level early-stage enemy. Additional rewards for defeating a higher-level enemy: +500 Villain Points.]
On the stone wall.
Li Luo stared dumbfounded at the scene.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan began to analyze the situation.
Hmm? Does Liu Han have a hidden power-up? Or is there a powerful figure assisting him, like an old mentor?
Judging by Liu Han's slow progress over the past few weeks, not even reaching the first level, it's clear he doesn't have a system.
After all, he's just a native of this world.
Ye Wangchuan carefully observed the scene.
Suddenly, he noticed Liu Han walking over and retrieving a necklace he had spat out.
"Hmm... So it's an old mentor."
Ye Wangchuan confirmed the answer in his mind.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly.
If it's an old mentor, then he couldn't take this golden opportunity for himself.
After all, it's bound to its owner.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
