Chapter 573: Little Snake (5)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Every time we fight a commander monster, we’ll make our way to even more distant places. We can always shake them off that way.”

Ji Wu Shuang understood Zhao Yu’s intention and nodded, “I believed that’s the only safest way for us now…”

She started to talk about the overall situation within the inner circle.

“The five overlords have already begun their moves. The people from Wang Feng Valley and Tiger Howl Gang are playing their parts well. The number of fighters on both sides is dwindling, and most are hiding…”

“Moreover, both sides are in tacit agreement, quietly leading people to hunt commander-level monsters, secretly increasing the number of ultimate fighters…”

“We don’t need to worry about them. Our efficiency is more higher than theirs. In one month, we’ll definitely give them a big surprise…”

Ji Wu Shuang had calculated this in advance as well. Their side indeed operates quite efficiently.

She continued, “The other three forces are also fighting amongst themselves, creating chaos. But due to the distance, we can’t tell if their battles are real or just for show…”

“Of course. As display, it seems every force has suffered heavy losses…”

“Additionally, the various small forces originally in the wilderness seem to have started forming alliances in the past few days…”

Zhao Yu shook his head, “Let’s ignore them. We’ll just focus on increasing our strength honestly and talk about it in a month…”

Fighting to the death within the inner circle is not worth it. The real decisive battle should wait until we have established a base.

As the two were sitting on the ground planning their map, Zhao Yu’s super brain suddenly alerted him with a rapidly moving figure image.

In the interconnected images, a green snake was speeding towards them through the forest.

Its speed had already surpassed the extent of Zhao Yu’s Cloud Ascension Ladder Lightfoot.

It should be noted that his Cloud Ascension Ladder Lightfoot was a Mystery level low rank technique, which he had also upgraded to the level of proficiency with technology points.

Zhao Yu was even conceited enough to believe that not even a first-tier elite level monster could catch up to him.

The speed of this approaching snake was beyond imagination.

Without considering whether the snake had any other offensive abilities aside from its speed, Zhao Yu abruptly pulled Ji Wu Shuang up and sprinted towards the other side of the protective film.

“Let’s go!”

Caught off guard, she was suddenly pulled into his arms. Ji Wu Shuang was completely unprepared for Zhao Yu to take action.

Suddenly being held so closely by a man caused her brain to completely freeze, leaving her in a dazed state.

“Roar—!”

The sleeping two-headed ox snake monster suddenly jolted awake and bolted away without looking back.

Just as Zhao Yu and Ji Wu Shuang emerged from the protective film, a luminous green snake appeared at their original location.

This snake was only one meter long and as thick as a bowl, seemingly weak. However, it had a yellow horn on its head.

“Hiss —!”

The small green snake merely glanced at Zhao Yu and Ji Wu Shuang, then quickly shifted its focus to the fleeing king-level monster.

It wasn’t until this moment that Ji Wu Shuang reacted, realizing that if Zhao Yu hadn’t pulled her away, she might already be dead.

The sight of the nearly invincible king level beasts of the inner circle fleeing at the appearance of the small green snake, chilled her to the bone.

The fact that even the zero-tier king level beast fled revealed the strength of the small green snake.

Fortunately, there was a protective film in front of them, which had started to glow faintly at that moment, suggesting that if the small snake advanced any further, it would incur a terrifying strike.

In the distance, the figure of the two-headed ox snake monster suddenly stopped and faced Zhao Yu.

Its internal rule mechanism was also triggered, it slowly walked towards them.

But the snake head on its body seemed to want to flee, continuously pulling backwards.

“It’s okay, with this protective film, it can’t come out…”

Zhao Yu, sensing Ji Wu Shuang’s trembling, raised his hand and patted her back.

At this moment, Ji Wu Shuang wasn’t aware of the ambiguity between them, still leaning most of her body against Zhao Yu.

And when Zhao Yu patted her back, she unconsciously moved closer to him.

Though she was strong and in such moments, she revealed her vulnerable side.

[Detected toxins in the air…]

[Detected that the host’s body has been poisoned. Do you want to spend 2 Technology Points to remove it?]

[Do you want to spend 3 Technology Points to clear…]

At the same time, a reminder from his Super Brain suddenly sounded in Zhao Yu’s mind.

“Not good, hold your breath. It’s poisonous!”

Zhao Yu quickly reminded her, while also having the Super Brain help him detoxify.

In just a brief moment, the cost of detoxification soared to 5 technology points.

One can imagine how terrifying the poison was.

At this moment, Zhao Yu felt fortunate that he had some technology points in reserve, otherwise…

Ji Wu Shuang had completely collapsed into his arms, unable to speak clearly.

“Hold on!”

Zhao Yu quickly scooped Ji Wu Shuang up by the waist and fled in another direction along the protective film.

As he ran, two-headed ox snake monster in the distance immediately followed.

Unexpectedly, the small green snake inside the tier-one zone also chased after them, and with the poison it emitted from its body.

Zhao Yu was lifting the completely powerless Ji Wu Shuang in his arms a bit higher and ran towards a place far away from the protective film..
