Chapter 146 The First Assassination Mission Is Completed

Chapter 147 The first assassination mission is completed

The fiery eyes in the air met the cold snake pupils in the valley. Xu Yue flicked his fingertips lightly, and the purple-red light spot fell into the sea of ​​fire below.

The next moment, the wailing of the ancestor python resounded throughout the field, and the harmless purple feasting fire instantly changed into a golden-red pure Yangyan. This time, the Yangyan was transformed from the essence of hundreds of snake demons, and its number far exceeded the red lotus that Xu Yue had used thousands of mana points to launch before.

The valley has now become a huge flaming furnace, everything inside is burning, and the void above the valley is distorted by the terrifying temperature.

The wailing of the ancestor python has disappeared, but during the struggle, the roar caused by the whipping of the snake body did not stop for a moment. At the moment of the transformation, the flames that had tightly wrapped around the ancestor python's body immediately revealed its ferocious fangs.

The ancestor python only had time to let out a wail before the pure Yangyan burned through its eyeballs and cheeks, and poured into its body through the fragile channels of its eye sockets and mouth. In just a few breaths, it had lost all its senses and ability to speak. The violent whipping was nothing more than the instinctive contraction of muscles under intense stimulation.

Red magma continued to flow down the surrounding rock walls, and the upwelling air brought by the fierce burning blew Xu Yue's hair. He calmly floated in the air, watching the huge monster below rolling and struggling in the flames and magma with indifference.

Xu Yue watched the membrane, flesh, and bones of the ancestor python turn into charcoal bit by bit, until the mechanical paradise prompt sound rang in his ears.

[You have killed the descendant of the divine beast—the Black Scale Snake King (bloodline awakening state)]

[Because the target is in the awakening state, the reward is increased, and you get a treasure chest (purple)]

[The Black Scale Snake King is a descendant of the divine beast and has a certain world weight. You get 8.6% of the world source, and now you get 10.7% of the world source]

Xu Yue didn't know what the descendant of the divine beast was, but luck played a big role in killing the Black Scale Snake King so smoothly this time.

If it was a one-on-one fight, he would not be afraid even if it was the Snake King in its prime, but he was definitely not an opponent when facing the Snake King in the center of the tribe and blessed by demon power.

As for the huge ancestral python that appeared after the Snake King transformed, there was no need to say more. The size difference was too big. The opponent was almost half the size of the black dragon in the Dragon Valley world. Judging from the power of it crushing a small mountain range, the opponent's power was definitely far more than 40 points.

It was precisely because he noticed this gap that after the ancestor python appeared, Xu Yue was dodging all the way to avoid any contact with it.

In such a wide terrain, the damage he could cause to the ancestor python was quite limited.

If it weren't for the fact that the sun was shining brightly today, the snake demon clan was holding the custom of sunbathing, if it weren't for the excellent terrain of the closed snake valley, if it weren't for the pure Yangyan that tripled the damage to monsters, he would hardly be able to achieve the current level of annihilating the snake demons.

With the blessing of the three opportunities of time, place, and people, he was able to slaughter a large settlement with a leader creature within three hours without leaving a single one.

If it was a normal situation, the best way for him to complete this task was to sneak into the snake cave where the snake demon king lived and wait for the night to fall.

When the other party left the tribe to rest, cut off the other party's head in the shortest time, not giving it the opportunity to gather the snake demon tribe to get blessing, or transform into an ancestor python.

This is also the usual method used by orthodox assassins, taking the enemy by surprise and killing them with one strike. If they fail once, they will retreat first and wait for the next opportunity.

Instead of being like Xu Yue, who first charged a powerful strike, killed all the snake demons except the snake demon king, forcibly broke the blessing ability of their tribe, and then confronted the transformed ancestor python head-on, burning it alive with pure Yangyan.

The whole process of completing his mission is completely different from the style of the assassin profession. It is no wonder that the bloody figure in the Shadow Hall commented that Xu Yue is more suitable for the front line of the army than joining them.

The assassination styles of Xu Yue and the assassins seem too incompatible. One is hidden and deadly, while the other is tyrannical and fierce.

But there is no way. The fighting style is difficult to change for a while. Compared with Xu Yue, the hidden assassination method of sneaking into the cave is more suitable for Bai Ye, who gave him a mental bomb in the paradise before, but not for him.

If he were allowed to sneak into the cave, the first thing he would do would be to blow up the entire cave to ensure that no one outside could get in and no one inside could get out. Then he would fight to the death with the snake demon king in the collapsed mountain cave. Whoever survived could get out or fall into eternal sleep together.

In terms of a one-on-one fight, he was still somewhat confident. As for the other party's transformation into an ancestral python, let alone whether the narrow cave could accommodate such a huge creature, even if it could, Xu Yue would not be at all inferior.

In such a narrow and restricted terrain, Xu Yue, who had a metallized defense, could completely let the ancestral python swallow him into his stomach. As long as the stomach acid could not dissolve his metallized membrane for a while, he could roast the ancestral python alive from the inside into a cooked sausage.

………………

In the scorched earth and lava-filled Snake Valley, Xu Yue was standing at the edge of the crisscrossing lava rivers, absorbing the remaining flames that had turned back into the purple feasting fire, while thinking about how he would assassinate the Snake Demon King, the mission target, if he lost these favorable conditions.

After sorting out the gains and losses of this mission, and confirming that he had a certain degree of confidence in killing the mission target even without these good lucks, Xu Yue nodded with satisfaction and collected his thoughts that were constantly diverging.

Luck cannot last forever, and he never believed in it. So after realizing that luck played a very important role in the success of this mission, his first reaction was not to be complacent or to be thankful for his good luck.

Instead, he was simulating whether he had enough ability and means to complete this task if he lost these lucks. If he found that he could not, he would find the reasons for his own shortcomings and reflect on the aspects that he needed to improve.

The surging thoughts in his mind slowly calmed down, and the last trace of feasting fire floating in the valley was just absorbed by him.

Rubbing his swollen head, he could already imagine how fierce the battle would be on the octagonal arena on the second floor of his spiritual space.

It should not be a problem for Taotie to kill those ordinary snake demon spirits, but it would be difficult to defeat the ancestral python. Xu Yue was not surprised to be killed in the counterattack.

After the last battle with the black dragon, the opponent's weak state has not recovered yet.

'After dealing with the affairs here, I will go to the spiritual space to take a look. It just so happens that the snake's spirit body should be tough enough to support him to conduct an experiment he has wanted to do for a long time. '

With a thought in his eyes, Xu Yue put down his right hand that was rubbing his forehead and looked at the surrounding environment.

I saw that the current Snake Valley has undergone three earth-shaking changes compared to its original appearance. First, it changed from a green valley full of green shade to a wasteland ruins full of charred black, and finally became the current purgatory death place with magma.

At this time, a huge magma lake has appeared in the center of the valley, which is also the place where the ancestor python died.

The original prototype of the magma lake was the huge pit smashed by the ancestor python when it jumped from the top of the mountain. After it was whipped wildly before its death, it continued to expand and was finally filled with magma, forming this magma pool.

On the periphery of the magma pool, there are crisscrossing magma rivers all over the valley floor. The source of these rivers is the rock walls around the valley. After being burned and roasted by the sea of ​​pure Yangyan for several minutes, all the rocks on the surface of the rock walls have been melted into boiling magma.

Now the four walls of the valley are covered by vertical red magma waterfalls. These magma waterfalls fall to the ground, forming dense and scattered rivers, and finally converge on the magma pool in the center, making it continue to expand.

Standing next to the magnificent magma waterfall, a tiny silver figure scanned the surrounding exaggerated scenery comparable to the underground purgatory, inexplicably with a heroic spirit of myth and epic.

After Xu Yue looked around, his eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. Who would have thought that this scene was caused by an assassination mission.

Such a grand and exaggerated assassination made him, the initiator, feel ashamed.

"It's okay. This is only the first mission. It's normal that it's hard to change your fighting style for a while. There are two more missions to come."

"You must adjust your strategy. Since you're an assassin, your style can't be too different. Otherwise, if the shadow leader doesn't recruit you because of this, and you can't become a shadow assassin, that would be ridiculous."
