The world is like a prison, my body is holy

Chapter 138 How Deceptive! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Good baby..."

Wang Wen, beaming with excitement, held the centipede bead up to the bright moon in the sky. His gaze pierced through the crystal-clear, blood-red bead, examining the miniature centipede spirit lingering within it.

When he found the giant centipede, it was lying on a large rock on the mountaintop, swallowing and spitting out the centipede pearl under the moonlight. He was overjoyed, thinking that this giant centipede was quite good, even though it was about to die, it still helped him refine the pearl.

Centipede beads are a wonderful thing. They can ward off all kinds of insects and detoxify all kinds of poisons. They can also protect the home, drive away evil spirits, suppress evil spirits, and release poisonous mist. They can also be used as the main ingredient to refine high-quality pills that can increase one's power and heal external injuries. They are a top-quality mountain delicacy that money cannot buy!
A bead the size of an egg in his hand could probably fetch countless treasures from his senior brother, Master Hunkun.

He happily put the centipede bead into his money bag, then tucked the money bag inside his belt and placed it close to his body.

Then, relieved, he patted his belt...

As if on cue, he patted his belt, and the calm, dark lake below exploded with a "bang".

A gruesome four-armed thug with a leopard-skin skirt around his waist, carrying a three-pronged steel fork upside down in one hand and a giant centipede upside down in the other, leaped across the lake to Wang Wen's opposite side. He angrily brandished his protruding, fang-baring mouth and scanned the area around him several times before finally fixing his gaze on Wang Wen.

"That pretty boy!"

The four-armed thug brandished his steel fork, pointed it at Wang Wen, and with his dark golden eyes focused on one point, he shouted in a gruff voice, "Was it you who ambushed this king just now?"

As it spoke, a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals emerged from the center of the surging ripples below, noisily banging on some broken pots and pans, as if it were some kind of large-scale banquet.

These monsters all seem rather dim-witted.

"not me……"

Wang Wen squinted and chuckled, "Who else could it be?"

Just as the four-armed thug's anger was about to subside, his heavy breathing provoked him to become even more enraged. He immediately raised the giant centipede in his hand with a fierce glare and said, "So, you killed the leader of the mountain-drilling tribe under my command?"

"Except for me..."

Wang Wen still had that infuriatingly smirking look: "Is there anyone else here?"

The four-armed thug was indeed enraged, his three spirits leaping wildly. He threw down the giant centipede and swung his three-pronged steel fork at Wang Wen, yelling, "Waaaaah... pretty boy, die for this king!"

As soon as he made his move, the shrimp and crab soldiers on the lake started banging pots and pans even more frantically, as if they were already celebrating their victory in advance!

In fact, during the short-lived demonic lives of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, their king was indeed an invincible war god. Every time their king made a move, the two-legged sheep that came to cause trouble would immediately become food in their mouths...

Wang Wen couldn't understand their jubilation; he only found them noisy.

So he leaped forward, swinging his Dawnbreaker Spear without flinching or dodging, using the spear as an axe to cleave the four-armed thug.

"clang."

The spears and forks clashed in mid-air, producing a muffled, deep sound like the clanging of a bronze bell.

Wang Wen and the four-armed thug were both jolted by the powerful recoil, their hands going numb and their bodies shuddering. The same thought simultaneously arose in their minds: 'This is a formidable opponent!'

The four-armed villain had been roaming the Jianghuai waterways for over two years, devouring countless two-legged sheep and monsters. This was the first time he had encountered an opponent who could match his strength and hold his own.

Wang Wen was the same. In terms of martial arts and techniques, he had indeed encountered many masters who were stronger than him, but this was the first time he had met a ruthless character who could go toe-to-toe with him in terms of strength without being at a disadvantage.

As the saying goes, a true expert's skill is immediately apparent upon their first move.

But after weighing the strength of their opponent, the human and the demon made completely different choices in the next second.

The seemingly dim-witted four-armed thug, upon realizing that his opponent's strength was in no way inferior to his own, did not hesitate for a second before retreating. He then drew back his three-pronged steel fork and brandished it wildly above his head, intending to retreat back into the water before making further plans.

Wang Wen, who appeared to be refined and cheerful, suddenly grinned and revealed a vicious sneer. Without hesitation, he lunged at the four-armed thug. With a slight lift and press of his Dawnbreaker Spear, he unleashed a dazzling display of spear flowers, forcefully piercing through the chaotic tridents. Amidst a dense and rapid clash of metal, he forcibly tore through the tridents' defensive circle and charged into the four-armed thug's front.

The four-armed thug: 'An evenly matched opponent? We haven't fought much!'

Wang Wen: 'An evenly matched opponent? I've killed far too many of those!'

The four-armed thug watched as Wang Wen, with his fierce gaze, relentlessly pressed forward. He frantically swung his three-pronged steel fork to support himself while simultaneously opening his mouth to reveal the true form of a crocodile's gaping maw, as if preparing to spit something from his throat and smear it all over Wang Wen's face.

However, Wang Wen's movements were even faster: "Lightning, come!"

"Crack crack..."

Hundreds of dense crimson thunderbolts erupted in response, instantly enveloping him and the four-armed villain, while simultaneously pouring down like a torrential rain onto the shrimp and crab soldiers on the lake below.

The dazzling golden lightning illuminated the dim sky and the dark lake water.

In the blinding light, only the flickering shadows of countless crabs and shrimp could be seen...

The noisy hammering and banging stopped abruptly!

In the blink of an eye, the lightning disappeared.

The four-armed thug stood frozen in place, his body emitting plumes of blue smoke, while below, a large patch of white fish bellies appeared on the lake surface...

"clang……"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Wen thrust his spear hard into the forehead of the four-armed thug. However, when the spearhead pierced through the thug's scalp and embedded itself in his skull, it produced a metallic clang and became stuck in his skull.

He murmured a surprised "Holy crap?" to himself, wondering, "No way? Can't I even get it stuck?"

The four-armed thug, in pain, finally broke free from the paralysis caused by the electric shock. His large, dark golden eyes lowered and immediately emitted a ferocious, bloodthirsty light.

"Look at your mother, Lei is coming again!"

Wang Wen chuckled and cursed softly, but his arms pressed down hard on the Dawnbreaker Spear, firmly holding the head of the four-armed villain.

A dazzling burst of lightning erupted once more. But this time, the powerful lightning force did not scatter in all directions as it had in the previous round. Instead, under Wang Wen's superb lightning magic, it condensed into a single beam and instantly shot along the Dawnbreaker Spear onto the four-armed thug's forehead.

The condensed power of thunder instantly illuminated the four-armed thug's enormous head, which was covered in fangs and had a high bone density, resembling a lump of steel.

"Ah ah ah..."

The four-armed thug let out a shrill wail, his muscular body trembling violently as if he had been electrocuted, as he swung his three-pronged steel fork fiercely at Wang Wen in front of him.

Hearing the sound of the steel fork cutting through the air, Wang Wen intended to withstand the blow with his bare body, seize the opportunity to unleash another combo, and deplete the four-armed thug's health bar in one fell swoop.

But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, he subconsciously realized that he was relying too much on his physical strength, and that if he continued like this, he would inevitably suffer a setback...

Just like the Monkey King and Erlang Shen, which one of them doesn't have an indestructible body that is impervious to swords and magic?

But I've never seen those two fight anyone, and every time they rely on their indestructible bodies to recklessly charge and attack!

An ability like an indestructible body is only a trump card if it is not used as a trump card; if it is used as a trump card, it will only become a weakness.

Therefore, Wang Wen suppressed his eagerness to succeed, leaped up to avoid the sweeping steel fork, and at the same time, delivered a powerful sweeping kick to the strong chest of the four-armed thug. The force sent the four-armed thug flying more than 30 feet away, directly into the air above the lake shore.

With this opening, the four-armed thug finally broke free from the paralysis caused by the electric shock.

Then, with its bloodshot eyes, it raised its head and roared wildly. Its already tall body grew three feet taller, and its ugly human face transformed into a ferocious black crocodile head... In the blink of an eye, the muscular, four-armed villain turned into a giant, six-legged black crocodile that stood upright!
Then, it threw down its three-pronged steel fork, leaped onto the ground with all six legs, opened its blood-red mouth, and pounced on Wang Wen. Its speed, as swift as a rabbit and as powerful as a swift rabbit, was completely disproportionate to its huge and bulky body.

Wang Wen remained vigilant, but still charged forward without hesitation, gun in hand. After three accelerations, a dazzling burst of crimson lightning erupted from his body, propelling him to accelerate once more, so fast that only a blur remained.

The next second, he suddenly appeared in front of the six-legged black crocodile. Amidst the crocodile's furious yet slightly surprised gaze, he launched a flying kick, his toes accompanied by a thunderous roar, and accurately struck the lower jaw of its open, blood-red maw.

"Ah, da da..."

"duang".

With this powerful kick, the six-legged black crocodile's open lower jaw slammed into its upper jaw. The suddenly closing maw bit off a large part of its protruding tongue, causing it to cry out in pain.

However, the force of Wang Wen's kick, which combined true qi and thunder magic, was far greater than that.

After biting off a section of its tongue, the six-legged black crocodile flipped upside down in mid-air, its yellowish-brown belly exposed, and flew back towards the lake shore.

Seeing this, Wang Wen didn't hesitate to unleash another burst of Crimson Palace Thunder to accelerate, his figure leaving a series of golden lightning afterimages as he caught up with the flying six-legged black crocodile, appearing above its yellowish-brown belly. He flicked his wrist and thrust out more than twenty spears: 'I refuse to believe it! Your belly is as hard as your skull!'

Then came a series of sharp, piercing sounds as if blades were slicing through flesh. Before the six-legged black crocodile even hit the ground, it had twenty or thirty fist-sized holes in its belly. Thick blood plasma splattered across the sky like bright red petals falling in April.

The sudden, intense pain spurred the six-legged black crocodile to roar wildly. Recklessly, it unleashed its signature move, Death Flip, in mid-air, forcibly flipping its black spiky back to block the wildly thrusting steel spear.

Wang Wen didn't pay much attention, thinking, "I can stab right through your back too," and continued to thrust wildly with his gun. However, he failed to guard against the black guy's desperate flick of his big tail, which lashed out hard on his back with a crocodile tail swing.

The terrifying force caused Wang Wen's vision to go black instantly, and he was thrown forward, completely exhausted.

He had barely flown a little over ten feet when he suddenly came to his senses and thought to himself, "Oh no!" Without daring to look back, he unleashed his Crimson Palace Thunder with all his might, propelling himself forward like an airplane taking off, dragging its fiery tail.

Just as he unleashed the Crimson Palace Thunder and charged forward, a blood-red crocodile head, as large as a carriage, opened its gaping maw and shot into the sky, grazing his fiery tail and missing its target, producing a muffled, explosive sound...

Wang Wen turned his head in response and saw that the six-legged black crocodile had landed at some point, its six legs on the ground and its head raised as if to devour the moon. A huge blood-red crocodile head, formed from blood mixed with ferocious energy, floated above its head.

He was slightly startled, forcibly flipped in mid-air, landed heavily with his gun, and confronted the six-legged black crocodile more than two zhang away.

He stared intently at the six-legged black crocodile, and after a few deep breaths, he calmed his boiling blood and internal energy.

The six-legged black crocodile, however, was in a worse state; blood was flowing from its mouth, and dozens of bloody holes in its belly were gushing blood onto the ground...

Wang Wen had sharp eyesight; he could even see that a large pile of intestines was hanging down from the black man's belly, dragging it onto the grass.

'The advantage is mine! '

He felt much calmer and calmly adjusted his breathing to recover the true energy and magical power he had just consumed.

In those brief exchanges, his true energy wasn't greatly depleted, but his mana was quite exhausted, almost to the point of depletion.

They remained motionless in this standoff for about ten breaths.

Just as the blood-red crocodile head on the six-legged black crocodile began to show signs of disintegration, it suddenly and silently shook its large head, turned around, and dashed towards the lake not far away like an arrow.

Seeing this, Wang Wen also jumped after it without saying a word, and caught up with the six-legged black crocodile in the blink of an eye.

Just then, the six-legged black crocodile that was running wildly ahead suddenly turned its head with lightning speed, and together with the blood-red crocodile head floating above, opened its blood-red maw and attacked Wang Wen from above and below with the force of thunder.

Crocodiles are not agile wild animals, but they have always been experts at ambush. When a crocodile launches a sudden attack, even a cheetah, which is known for its speed, cannot escape its gaping jaws!
The six-legged black crocodile's "returning strike" move pushed speed and power to the extreme. Almost the instant Wang Wen saw it turn around, he was already assaulted by its foul breath...

Fortunately, Wang Wen had been on guard against it all along!

No group understands the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy better than the players of the Rift.

When Wang Wen saw that it was bleeding so badly that it still refused to dispel the ultimate skill above its head, he already guessed what kind of trick it was up to... What the hell is the difference between this and a low-health Garen holding onto his ultimate skill and standing outside the tower to lure the enemy?
How much cunning and deceit can beasts possess?
Stop increasing laughter!
So, the instant he saw the six-legged black crocodile turn its head, the grass beneath his feet suddenly turned into muddy water, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The six-legged black crocodile's gaping maw barely grazed the hem of his fluttering clothes, passing where he had just stood, before snapping into the air with another "duang."

It never expected that it would miss its target so easily.

As it stared wide-eyed at the empty meadow in front of it, the crocodile was completely bewildered.

Six-legged Black Crocodile: 'No, buddy, you…'

Wang Wen: 'Excuse me, I am the Mountain God!'

Mountain gods can burrow underground; isn't that their signature skill?
