Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 147 Battlefield Changes
The black snake said angrily:

"What do you want? I'll tell you! I'm a man of steel who would rather die than surrender. Don't pollute my ears with shameless words. But since you're almost kneeling down to beg, I'll just listen."

Gong Tianwu rolled his eyes and said:
"You should have prepared the Blood Flame Arrow when you came in this time, right?"

Blood Flame Arrows are disposable items similar to Thunderbolt Seeds, and their uses are similar to those of hidden weapons.

Black Snake shook his head and said frustratedly:

"No, this thing has been developed for decades, and people outside have already had a plan to deal with it. It is said that it has been very restrained."

Gong Tianwu frowned and said:

"What about the others? Many of the Blood God Sect's disposable magic weapons are very troublesome to the outside world. I don't believe that you don't have any preparations."

Black Snake said frustratedly:
"Of course I am prepared. I brought ten blood miasma seeds with me. I was just wondering why you didn't use your magic weapon yet."

Gong Tianwu said happily:
"This one is not bad either. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Take them all out."

The blood miasma is something that makes people in the righteous path shudder with fear.

This thing will explode immediately after it is hit, and will quickly form a large blood-colored miasma, covering an area at least larger than half the size of a basketball court. It can be said that it is very difficult to avoid.

The direct damage of this thing is very small, even negligible, but the people inside will be greatly affected. Their vision, sense of smell, etc. will be greatly reduced, and their physical sensation will be very bad.

The feeling was like having a large basin of fermented menstrual fluid that had been poured on your head for three to five days. It was fishy and smelly, and the exposed skin felt numb and itchy.

What's even more disgusting is that the enemy's fairy robes, jade pendants and other defensive means will be contaminated, and even weapons will be contaminated as well.

After being contaminated by the blood miasma, it will not cause any much damage. Protective instruments and weapons can still be used, but their power can only be 70% to 80%, and even some special effects will be restricted.

There are many ways to expel blood miasma. In addition to the Blood God Sect's own secret recipe, there are also a dozen or so methods circulating in the outside world. However, they have one thing in common: they are expensive and require huge costs.

The blood miasma will slowly dissipate after two or three months, so usually, the unlucky people who are hit can only endure this unbearable torture with tears.

Black Snake was stunned when he heard Gong Tianwu's request. What else could he do at this moment? He could only look at Gong Tianwu with a squint, but still looked like "I don't believe you".

Gong Tianwu smiled, grabbed his neck and lifted him up:
"If I wanted to deceive you, I would have the patience to search your body instead of wasting time talking to you."

The black snake closed its eyes and looked very desperate, but still did not move.

Gong Tianwu didn't waste any more words and just slapped the guy twice, making his face crackle and his nose bleed. Then he kicked him hard.

Black Snake was beaten for less than ten seconds, and immediately he saw the situation and screamed:
"Stop fighting. I'll hand it over. Isn't that okay?"

Gong Tianwu then threw it aside and said with a smile:

"Why don't you hold on a little longer?"

The black snake said bitterly:

"Can you hold on a little longer so you can beat me longer? Ouch my teeth?" (tears~)

Gong Tianwu threw a bottle of snow ginseng pills to him and said impatiently:

"Don't be so fussy. I didn't give it to you for nothing. Why would I go through so much trouble to kill you? Take out the antidote spray for the blood barrier too. Don't play tricks on me."

The black snake was a little bit unbelievable. He opened the snow ginseng pill and smelled it. He immediately felt a fragrance coming towards him. After rolling his eyes, he obviously began to cooperate.

Next, Gong Tianwu took away his magic weapon, the snake bone arrow, and asked him to fill it with blood and essence, so that it could be used at least two or three times. The two sets of Blood God Sect clothes that Black Snake had were also taken away.

However, Gong Tianwu then gave him another magic weapon, called the Wolf Tooth Nail. This thing was refined by the demon clan. The craftsmanship was very crude and the appearance was old-fashioned, but its power was amazing.

To be honest, it is similar to the Soviet weapons during World War II.

The black snake tried it and was immediately overjoyed, because he found that he could also drive this thing by consuming his own essence and blood. After using it, he could continuously and rapidly shoot out six magical weapons made of wolf teeth. Even if the person who was shot avoided the vital points, he would bleed profusely.

The characteristics of this thing can be said to be very distinct. It is fast and fierce, and its lethality can even reach the initial level of Xuanpin!

Strictly speaking, its advantage is its strong lethality, but it also consumes a lot of energy from the user. The amount of energy and blood consumed after using it once is no less than being stabbed by someone.

But the Blood God Sect has a lot of ways to replenish essence and blood, so Black Snake thinks it is acceptable!
After the final change, I took a look at the Black Snake and felt that I really made a profit:

After all, if a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is hit by one of the wolf-tooth nails that he has fired with all his strength, his protective magic weapon will be broken on the spot. If all six are hit, he will be skinned alive even if he does not die!

I can boldly say that all my offensive means combined cannot achieve such an effect.

Not only that, the "Snow Ginseng Pills" from the Great Snow Mountain are very popular in the market. Just like the blood and flesh essence of the Blood God Sect, they are flagship products and can be sold at a premium.

After the exchange was completed, Black Snake glanced at Gong Tianwu, and then said righteously:
"Alright, I'm no longer useful to you. You can do whatever you want. You can kill me or chop me up. If I make a sound, you win!"

Gong Tianwu looked at his timid appearance and said with a disdainful smile:

"Don't test me. You won't die today. At least you won't die in my hands."

After hearing this, Black Snake breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully looked at Gong Tianwudao:

"That shouldn't be the case. Why do I feel like you are very familiar with me, but I'm sure I've never seen you before."

Gong Tianwu said:

"Don't look at it, and don't think too much about it. You can't guess the reason even if you try your best."

"By the way, you'd better keep your mouth shut about our deal and don't tell anyone else. If I hear any rumors, I will definitely come and kill you."

The black snake said angrily:

"Will I tell everyone about this kind of embarrassing thing? You're worried that I'm talking nonsense, but I'm also worried that you're spreading it everywhere. Then, will I still be able to live as a human being in the sect in the future?"

Gong Tianwu smiled and said:
"That's right. If it were me, I would have been choked up in my stomach. So how about taking a rest for a while? I heard that the battlefield in this secret realm will automatically switch every once in a while."

After hearing this, Black Snake immediately curled his lips and said:

"How ignorant you are! You came here without even gathering all the intelligence?"

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu was surprised:
"Oh? Do you know the exact time?"

Black Snake said disdainfully:

"I can tell from the looks of it that you're from one of those small sects, you don't have any background at all, listen carefully!"

"The total number of people from our evil sect who entered is 29 from six sects. Although the number of people from your righteous sect is unknown, based on the situation in previous years, it must be about the same."

"So, the total number of people entering Ningcui Secret Realm is probably more than fifty. In this case, each battle will last for an hour and a half."

"When the time is up, regardless of whether the game is a win, a loss or a draw, both sides will switch battlefields and change opponents."

"And, at the end, there's a big melee,"

This was the first time that Gong Tianwu had heard of what Black Snake was talking about, so he nodded and said:
"I really didn't know this. Thanks for the lesson."

Just as the black snake was about to speak, his ears moved suddenly, and then he trotted to a huge rock nearby and said solemnly:
"There's movement down there."

Gong Tianwu took a closer look and found that this huge rock was the one he had paid attention to before.

There were many obvious traces of crawling on the ground nearby, and then they converged into a cave below.

Gongtian Wuqi said:
"Can you hear any noise coming from down there?"

The black snake said proudly:
"Of course I can! Back then, I fought a foundation-building cultivator for three hundred rounds, and in the end I defeated him in one go. I relied on my pair of divine ears!"

Gong Tianwu rolled his eyes. This guy was only at 60% to 70% of his Qi Refining strength. He would be beaten to a pulp if he met a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How could he fight back in one go? However, when he saw the black snake's ears fluttering slightly, he really looked a bit like a real person.

As a result, in the next second, a red light flashed at the entrance of the cave, and then the black snake let out a scream and rolled to the side.

Not only that, a monster suddenly jumped out from the cave. It had a long and thin body and kept sticking out a long red tongue.

Its skin is very smooth, covered with dense scales and unique red textures, and its length from head to tail is even more than ten meters!

This thing looks like a lizard at first glance, but it has six eyes, each of which has strange ripples in it, giving it a strange beauty.

It can be seen that at this moment Black Snake suddenly froze in place, and even his screams stopped abruptly, as if his soul had been taken away in an instant.

The monster's six eyes were staring at him, and then it shook its head and crawled quickly towards the black snake.

Witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu immediately thought of a scene he had seen on Earth:
That is, when you shine a strong flashlight at frogs at night, those frogs and toads that are originally extremely alert will be stunned for a moment, and they will freeze in place as if their souls have left their bodies.

At this moment, the black snake was like a toad that was struck by a strong flashlight.

"To save or not to save?"

This thought flashed through Gong Tianwu's mind.

Perhaps it was the sense of familiarity brought to him by his experiences in his previous life, or perhaps it was because Black Snake had always been a funny loser in front of him, so Gong Tianwu came up with the answer almost instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Gong Tianwu kicked the black snake away. At the same time, the invisible sword moved at will, passing by from the side, and a faint, invisible ripple appeared in the air!

When the lizard monster saw the food in its mouth being taken away, it became extremely angry and made an unpleasant "crunching" sound. Its six strange eyes began to turn towards Gong Tianwu.

But the next second it felt a great crisis and hurriedly jumped to the side. As a result, a flash of blood flashed instantly, and the invisible sword had cut off most of its tail.

A large amount of thick blood gushed out from the broken tail, causing the guy to turn around and bite, but it was useless and he missed.

When the black snake was standing there before, his mind was actually clear, but his whole body seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, and his body was completely out of control.

Therefore, when I watched the monster biting at me, the despair in my heart was truly beyond words.

So even though Black Snake was kicked hard in the face by Gong Tianwu next, he was longing for this kick from the bottom of his heart, so much so that the pain on his face that followed was so sweet.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The black snake, having regained its ability to move, immediately launched a fierce attack on the monster. At this time, the monster was injured and bleeding, so several magical powers of the Blood God Sect came in handy.

Although this monster was in a passive position under the joint attack of Gong Tianwu and the black snake, its vitality was extremely tenacious and it was not until it died after being ravaged for a long time.

After it was killed, all the blood and essence in its body was sucked out by the black snake and turned into several fresh blood crystals.

When Gong Tianwu was in the Blood God Sect, he was not qualified to practice many magical powers because of his status as a blood slave, but he also knew a lot about the situations within the sect.

For example, after the black snake has these fresh blood crystals, the corresponding magical powers it releases will be greatly more powerful.

The resentment and soul power in this thing are dissipating all the time. Generally speaking, its effectiveness will not exceed ten hours. Once it is ingested, its effectiveness will begin to decline sharply after two hours.

This is why Black Snake didn't prepare this thing in advance.

With the Black Snake Blood Crystal in his hand, Gong Tianwu looked at him and said with a smile:
"Why, now that I have the blood crystal, you think I'm good enough again, and you want to get back at me?"

Black Snake cursed in his heart, "Fuck you. The thing you used before was clearly an extremely powerful invisible sword. I don't think I can even block it with one sword."

But he refused to give in and said stiffly:

"Haha, I'm scared now. With the blood crystal of our sect's secret technique in hand, your magical power can be increased tenfold!"

"But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare your life. If I see you next time, you'd better not kneel down and beg me."

Gong Tianwu ignored him and looked at the dead six-eyed giant lizard in front of him for a while, then walked forward and cut it open for dissection.

The black snake was shocked when he saw it:
"Are you hungry? This thing is probably inedible! And even if it is edible, I have sucked all the essence and blood out of it. It tastes like chewing sawdust. I guarantee you will vomit it out right away."

Gong Tianwu turned his head and glanced at him, then said with disdain:

"Idiot, this thing is quite powerful. We're going to be here for several days. Can you guarantee that we won't encounter it in the future?"

"Then I will cut it open and examine it to see where its heart, brain and other vital organs are located. If I encounter a similar creature again, wouldn't it be much easier to kill it?"

After hearing this, Black Snake was stunned. He never expected that Gong Tianwu could come up with such a logic.

Although he felt that this was true, he still said stubbornly:
"How can it be such a coincidence that you can meet me just like that?"

Gong Tianwu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but after a few seconds he shouted:

"Come here and hold this leg down. You have no eyesight at all!"

The black snake immediately came over and held down the hind leg, cursing:

"I'm not fucking listening to you. I just don't like this leg."

Gong Tianwu didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to cut the guy's flesh. It was also thanks to the black snake that sucked the essence of his flesh and blood, otherwise the cutting speed would have been at least half slower.

As a result, when they cut into the stomach, several pieces of things of varying sizes suddenly fell out.

This thing fell to the ground and kept rolling, forming a semi-elliptical shape. If you look closely, it looks like coagulated blood, but there are some sesame-sized black spots in the center.

Gong Tianwu was looking at it in confusion, but the black snake was already stunned:
"This is a true soul stone! These damn things actually have true soul stones in their bodies?"

Gong Tianwu was also surprised after hearing this:
"The information I obtained earlier explained it very clearly. The True Soul Stones are actually scattered throughout the battlefield. You need to expend spiritual energy on your eyes to identify them. Why do you have to kill these creatures now?"

Black Snake frowned and said:
"Damn it, when I enter the next battlefield, should I look for these monsters to kill first? Or should I deal with my opponents first?"

After hearing the black snake's words, Gong Tianwu's heart was shocked, and he immediately understood the sinister intentions of this Ningcui Secret Realm!
Everyone came here to fight to the death, all for the True Soul Stone, and what is this place? It is a duel where both sides have to fight to the death.

The two sides are already scheming and fighting each other to the death, but with the temptation and uncertainty of this monster, the situation will undoubtedly become even more dangerous.

Take this time of entering the duel arena for example. Gong Tianwu entered the arena more than ten minutes ago. So during this time, could he resist the temptation and directly attack the six-eyed lizard?

What if the opponent attacks him from both sides while he is attacking?
Also, what if the six-eyed lizard suddenly attacks when the two are fighting fiercely?
The emergence of so many variables undoubtedly makes the duel more dangerous.

Gong Tianwu counted carefully and found that he had found five True Soul Stones in total, so he threw one to the black snake.

Then he calculated the time and changed directly into the spare clothes he got from Black Snake.

When Black Snake saw this, his eyes widened and he said:

"You! What are you planning to do?!"

Gong Tianwu said:

"What? Are you scared?"

Black Snake couldn't stand hearing this, and immediately said angrily:

"Afraid? Would I be afraid of your tricks?"

Gong Tianwu glanced at the black snake. He never expected that this guy was so fun to play. If he had known that he was in the Blood God Sect, he would have gotten close to him.

"Just don't be afraid."
