Chapter 1053: Chapter 663: Giant
The seconds tick by, and everyone is already exhausted. If this continues, I’m afraid none of us will be able to hold on for much longer, but Liu Hun remains motionless, standing on the stone platform. No one knows what Liu Hun’s situation is right now.
“Old man, quickly think of a way! If this goes on, none of us will last much longer.” Wu Dao, his forehead covered in sweat, anxiously shouted to the Clan Leader.
“Hold on a little longer! Maybe Xiao Tian will get better soon!” the Clan Leader gritted his teeth and said.
Wu Dao and Liu Hun have passed through the Gate of Life and Death, so their bodies are somewhat special and resistant to extreme heat or cold, but this place poses a severe test for the Clan Leader and Lao Bai and the others.
In a place like this, the depletion of their internal power is twice as fast as usual because they must draw out a certain amount of power to protect their bodies; otherwise, under such high temperatures, their bodies simply cannot withstand it.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, the Clan Leader grasped a long sword with one hand and slashed fiercely at a giant snake ahead.
“Clang!” A crisp voice sounded. The Clan Leader hadn’t even had time to retract the long sword when a gale wind suddenly attacked him from behind.
He wanted to dodge, but his internal power was already nearly depleted.
“Bang!” A dull sound reverberated from behind the Clan Leader, and the next moment, his body flew back like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the opposite cave wall.
“Pfft…” A mouthful of crimson blood sprayed out from his mouth as the Clan Leader clutched his chest tightly, his face pale.
In the field, the five or six giant snakes in the molten lava remained unchanged.
“Clan Leader!” Seeing the Clan Leader’s current state, the other members of the Ghost Doctor Clan immediately displayed concern, shouting loudly to him.
However, just as their attention was on the Clan Leader, some of the giant snakes seized the chance, swinging their massive tails to sweep across the group.
“Bang bang bang!” In an instant, many people were swept away, crashing heavily to the ground, and even one or two members of the Ghost Doctor Clan fell into the molten lava.
Witnessing this scene, the Clan Leader’s face turned even uglier, a corner of his eye noticing Liu Hun’s side. Seeing Liu Hun still motionless, urgency also flashed across the Clan Leader’s eyes.
Now they no longer have the strength to fight, and even if they did, it would be a suicidal move, serving no purpose.
They had delayed for Liu Hun for almost twenty minutes, but now…
“Damn it… why am I the only one left all of a sudden…” Wu Dao looked dazedly at the scene before him, his face changing dramatically, cursing at the giant snakes in terror.
Besides him, everyone else was seriously injured or already dead, and he was the closest to Liu Hun.
“Liu Bro, wake up quickly! If you don’t, today will be the end for both of us!” Wu Dao lamented, shouting loudly to Liu Hun behind him.
Yet his eyes remained fixed on the few giant snakes ahead.
His words still received no response, seeing the giant snakes all attacking him, Wu Dao gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, going all out. Even if I die today, I won’t let you have it easy!”
After speaking, Wu Dao clutched the soft sword tightly in his palm, although his arm was trembling uncontrollably due to previous excessive force usage.
“Clang!” At the instant a giant snake approached Wu Dao, the soft sword in his hand barely touched its head, causing no pain, and the massive recoil directly shook the soft sword out of Wu Dao’s hand.
The next moment, two giant snakes opened their bloodthirsty mouths, attacking Wu Dao. At that moment, Wu Dao even abandoned the struggle, gently closing his eyes, murmuring, “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. I’ve disgraced you by not dying at someone’s hand but in such a ghostly place. But don’t worry, after I die, Liu Bro will accompany me down there…”
Wu Dao kept muttering, and after finishing, a trace of doubt arose in his heart. Logically, the two giant snakes should have already reached him and devoured him.
But so much time had passed without any movement, puzzled, Wu Dao slowly opened his eyes, finding no trace of the giant snakes. All the snakes surrounded Liu Hun behind him.
Due to the size of the snakes surrounding Liu Hun, Wu Dao outside couldn’t see what was happening.
“What the hell is this? Do these snakes like Liu Bro’s scent, or is Liu Bro the reincarnation of Tang Seng, with meat that grants immortality?” Wu Dao muttered, stunned at the scene.
It’s not that he didn’t want to help, but he was already exhausted and couldn’t help even if he wanted to.
“If you don’t get lost now, you might really be swallowed by these giant snakes later!” Liu Hun suddenly said softly amidst the group of giant snakes, just as Wu Dao finished speaking.
Hearing this, Wu Dao’s eyes instantly lit up, a hint of joy rising in them. He said excitedly, “So you didn’t die, after all! I knew it wouldn’t be so easy for a troublemaker like you to get killed; but are you sure you don’t need my help?”
“If I gave you a stunning beauty right now, would you still have the strength to take her clothes off?” Liu Hun asked lightly.
“Uh… that seems to be the case, huh? I’ll leave it to you then, I’ll skedaddle first.” Wu Dao paused for a moment, then nodded and quickly rushed towards the place where the Clan Leader and the others were.
“Hey old man, are you sure Liu Hun can handle these giant snakes alone?” Even as he approached everyone, Wu Dao was still somewhat worried and asked the Clan Leader.
Hearing this, the Clan Leader looked at Liu Hun, who was surrounded by giant snakes amidst the molten lava, squinting his eyes slightly and saying with a gleam in his eyes, “He’ll definitely manage. With Xuan Fire around, these giant snakes shouldn’t pose any real threat to him.”
“Damn, did he really swallow the Xuan Fire?” Upon hearing the Clan Leader’s words, Wu Dao’s eyes widened dramatically, whispering incredulously towards the Clan Leader.
But this time, the Clan Leader didn’t answer Wu Dao at all.
“Roar roar…” Several giant snakes let out low growling sounds, seemingly very angry, and then attacked Liu Hun in the center.
Watching this, Liu Hun narrowed his eyes slightly and firmly gripped the dagger in his hands. If you looked closely, the dagger was surrounded by a layer of Xuan Fire.
One of the giant snakes came up to Liu Hun first, without any hesitation or doubt, Liu Hun directly swung his dagger and stabbed it fiercely into the snake’s forehead.
As soon as his dagger pierced into the snake’s forehead, the whole body of the giant snake started struggling continuously, with molten lava splashing out all over the place.
But it struggled for just a few seconds before its entire body started to crack.
“Crack!” The next moment, a crisp sound rang out and the massive body of the giant snake broke into fragments, falling into the molten lava.
Witnessing this scene, Wu Dao and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
“These… Are these giant snakes entirely made of molten lava? No wonder we couldn’t kill them before, no matter how hard we tried!” Wu Dao said, somewhat shocked.
However, before his words could settle, Liu Hun lightly tapped the ground with his feet, soaring into the air as the remaining giant snakes charged towards him.
Facing these giant snakes, Liu Hun didn’t hesitate at all. Constantly adjusting his position in the air, he continuously struck several of the giant snakes with his dagger.
Any giant snake struck by Liu Hun’s dagger would start cracking within seconds, just like the previous snakes, and then break into fragments, merging back into the molten lava.
“Bang!” Just as Liu Hun continued slaying the giant snakes, one of the snake’s tails struck Liu Hun’s back directly, causing Liu Hun’s body to fly backward instantly.
Watching this scene, Wu Dao and the Clan Leader’s expressions changed slightly, a hint of pale color rising in their faces.
The place Liu Hun was knocked towards was the central area of molten lava, where there was no stone platform at all. If he fell, even with heavenly skills, Liu Hun would likely melt into the lava.
“Liu Hun!”
“Xiaotian!”
The Clan Leader and Wu Dao both shouted loudly.
But their shouts were of no use. Liu Hun’s figure was like a kite with a broken string, rapidly plummeting towards the lava.
Although Liu Hun had already swallowed the Xuan Fire, his strength was evident here. The massive force from the snake’s tail strike was not something Liu Hun could admit to withstand.
However, as everyone felt despair, just as Liu Hun’s feet grazed the surface of the lava, the flowing lava suddenly created ripples. Then, Liu Hun gently tapped his feet against the lava, and his whole body leaped into the air.
At this moment, a giant snake approached Liu Hun. Seeing this, Liu Hun swung his dagger, stabbing it deeply into one of the snake’s bell-like eyes, quickly pulling it out and forcefully landing on the snake’s massive body. The next moment, Liu Hun shot towards the others.
