Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 293 Resonance of the Four Fates

There was no choice.

Li Wei could only chase after it at full speed, risking his life. He didn't even have a chance to draw his enchanted greatsword because he couldn't see anything in the poisonous fog. He could only follow the sound of the venomous python moving around. No one could match him in this respect.

Unexpectedly, the venomous python suddenly turned back and launched a surprise attack. Its body, as thick as a water bucket, coiled around Li Wei's legs and tightened rapidly, making his bones crack and pop.

At this moment, even though Li Wei's fingers were corroded by the venom to the bone and his health was dropping rapidly, it didn't stop him from drawing his enchanted dagger immediately. As the venomous python coiled around him, he struck with all his might, cutting a huge gash more than a meter long in its skin. At the same time, he held the dagger firmly and stuck it in place.

The harder it tried, the bigger the wound became, but it seemed to feel no pain and continued to wrap Li Wei tightly, squeezing him frantically from head to toe.

There was no other choice.

Quickly switch to the Flame Baron title, and you'll gain +50 to Health, +50 to Stamina, and +3 to Strength, Agility, Defense, and Spirit. The +3 to Defense is especially important.

While the armor of noble heralds offers good defense, it is only effective against attacks such as slashing and thrusting with swords and blades, and is not very effective against this kind of all-around pressure.

At this moment, it depends on the hardness of the bones, the strength of the muscles, and so on; otherwise, his bones would break in just a few seconds!
"Kakaka!"

Li Wei's bones were cracking all over his body. Even with his defense reduced to 23 points, he was basically reaching the critical point.

However, he remained relatively calm, because he knew better than the giant python who would be the one to give out the fastest.

Even though Li Wei was entangled and unable to breathe, his enchanted dagger continued to passively cut open the venomous python's body, preventing it from healing quickly.

The tighter it wraps around, the more severe the process becomes.

Until its critical point arrives.

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, there was a loud pop, and the snake skin of the venomous python broke off, with foul-smelling snake flesh flying everywhere. It had exerted too much force and its body could not withstand it.

Li Wei felt a sudden relaxation, but the next second, he hurled the enchanted dagger with lightning speed, blasting the venomous python, which had transformed back into a small snake several meters long, along with its life core, into a pool of foul-smelling venom.

At this point, Li Wei didn't even bother to retrieve the two enchanted weapons. He scrambled out of the poisonous fog zone, utterly disheveled, and knelt on the ground, coughing up chunks of black blood.

His health points were even less than 150.

But it’s okay!

very good!
Because the process of destroying the life core of the dark green python took less than ten seconds, but only he could do it because he had a rare scout card.

Otherwise, if it were Zhao Guozhu, he probably wouldn't have come out alive, and he might not even have been able to die together with his opponent.

"Li Wei, are you alright?"

Zhao Guozhu rushed over, thinking he would take Li Wei away, but from dozens of meters away he threw out a lasso, which caught Li Wei's ankle, and then turned and ran away. Damn it!
At least they managed to pull Li Wei back from the edge of the poisonous fog.

Then, Li Yue casually pointed, and half of the light from the sphere above her head flowed into Li Wei's body. The effect was immediate. However, the sphere immediately dimmed by half. Now they relied entirely on this sphere to fight against the near-level four radiation toxins around them.

"Everyone be careful, something is about to happen."

Li Yue spoke in a deep voice, and then fed Li Wei two more doses of the life-saving medicine.

"Hehehe! I never thought I'd wake up again!"

At that moment, a sinister and eerie voice rang out from within the poisonous fog, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

The giant python rider actually walked out of the poisonous fog zone.

But the giant blue python behind him turned into a small snake as thick as an arm, which obediently coiled around his wrist.

This person's eyes were filled with calmness and wisdom.

He didn't resemble a magical zombie at all, and his body showed no mutations, displaying a healthy bronze color overall.

"Damn it, how long have I been unconscious? Can anyone tell me where I am?"

"This is Duke Blazing Flame's territory. Who are you?" Li Yue suddenly asked, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Duke of Flame? Duke my foot! Oh, Flame—could it be Flame Kid Frank? And isn't there also an Ice Duke named Duncan? Hahaha, this world has really gone mad. Instead of trying to find out the truth about the radiation storm and the secrets of you outsiders, they've crowned yourselves dukes. I despise them!"

"Fine then, if the world is to perish, humanity must die out first! I'll start!" The man roared madly, crying and laughing at the same time, like a psychopath, becoming extremely dangerous.

"Do it!"

Li Yue roared, but it was no use, because the next second the man had split into five like a bubble, like five shadow blades, and fled into the distance at high speed, but then bounced back like a spring.

"Buzz!"

Everyone heard this sound, and the next second they felt a warm liquid fall on their faces—it was blood!

It was Annie's blood that caused her to be torn to pieces in that instant!
In the distance, the person remained unchanged, as if they had done nothing.

Damn it?

Everyone was startled, including Li Wei. He immediately switched to the Tracker title, and the first thing he did was to draw his Bloodthirsty Spear and pierce the straps binding Zhao Xuanxuan on Li Yue. At this point, he didn't care about Zhao Xuanxuan anymore.

Li Yue must fight in her prime.

He didn't even have his enchanted greatsword with him.

"Li Yue!"

Li Wei roared and launched an attack at that moment. He was still very weak, and the recovery speed of the life-restoring medicine was not that fast.

But his only advantage, the one that surpasses everyone else at this moment, even Li Yue's advantage, is his +4 perception. Yes, only +4 left.

It can still surpass Li Yue's +3 perception, which should originally be +4.

Even at this moment, he could clearly sense that within the giant python knight's body was a life core as dazzling as the sun, and it was this special life core that gave him terrifying power.

He wasn't even a magical zombie anymore; he was an anomaly, an anomaly among superhumans.

No one knows how he came up with such a miraculous method to transplant five mutated giant snakes into himself. This not only prevented him from losing his mind but also prevented his body from mutating. In short, this ingenious operation allowed him to maintain his memory and rationality, and he was not affected by the out-of-control magical particles.

If given time, he might actually be able to save the world?
Unfortunately, at this moment, Li Wei and his group, as outsiders, had no choice; it was either you die or I die.

Yes, Li Wei was incredibly clear-headed at that moment. He even forgot about the side quest he was currently undertaking, forgot about his level 5 scavenging camp, and forgot that he was no match for his opponent. All he knew was that if he didn't fight desperately, he would die!

So at this moment, he was completely absorbed in the moment, holding the Bloodthirsty Spear, and even a faint golden light appeared between his eyebrows. That was the resonance of the Destiny Matrix. The roar of the black bear in the mountains and the howl of the wolf king rang out from the Bloodthirsty Spear in his hand!

Behind him were illusions: farmers tilling the fields, hunters hunting, woodcutters chopping wood, and scouts chasing after them!

This is an extremely rare instance of four Destiny Charts resonating in unison.

It was a potential unleashed on the brink of life and death, built upon a +4 Perception skill and a precise understanding of the situation. He was actually willing to sacrifice his own life to pave a sure-kill path for Li Yue!

Yes, at least this is information presented to everyone, conveyed to everyone, especially to that alien native on the other side!
We'll perish together, at any cost!
Then, the alien native actually fell for it.

Yes, since he's so smart, since he has all the memories, since he understands the situation, then of course he wouldn't be willing to die together with others. You're such an idiot!
So when Li Wei's bloodthirsty spear, accompanied by the wails of living beings, was about to be thrown, the alien native decisively chose to dodge, leaving only a bubble in place. The next second, he could have clashed head-on with Li Wei, but Li Wei's state of resonance of four destinies really intimidated him.

Therefore, he chose Old John, who was most afraid, most uneasy, and even wanted to run away at any moment.

"call out!"

"Buzz!"

The afterimage flashed and disappeared in an instant. Old John's expression changed. He was about to run away when he was torn to pieces. Before, Li Wei's perception was increased by 2, so he didn't see how Annie was killed. But now he saw clearly that Old John's heart had been stolen!
However, almost at the very moment Old John's heart was stolen, a chilling, terrifying, and unprecedented blue cross slash descended from the sky like a bright moon, using Old John's lost heart as its medium!
One strike was like cutting the world into four pieces!
The alien native, the giant python knight, could not return to his original position. His figure remained fixed behind Old John, as if he had been frozen in place by a pressure point technique.

Only the expression on his face showed surprise, confusion, and ultimately, despair.

He realized he'd been tricked. That damn kid—their teamwork was so smooth, it completely fooled him.

I'd rather accept the consequences of my bet.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bizarre pieces of corpse slid off one by one, like a piece of blood tofu in a chef's hand.

His life core transformed into a rare and versatile gold card as dazzling as the rising sun!
Even under the illumination of this rare, all-powerful gold card, the radioactive toxic fog within a few hundred meters around was being dispelled.

Li Yue stared intently, then suddenly turned to look at Li Wei.

But then Li Wei was smiling and looking over, making a gesture of invitation.

He keeps his word; once he makes a promise, he will never break it.

Even someone as strong as Li Yue, who had lived for over eighty years, couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes at this moment.

She had to admit that Li Wei was also shining at this moment, even more dazzling than that rare all-purpose gold card.

Nodding, Li Yue stepped forward and took the rare universal gold card.

Almost simultaneously, lines of golden information appeared before Li Wei, Li Yue, Zhao Guozhu, and the unconscious Zhao Xuanxuan.
