Chapter 61 Hidden Energy on the Back, Activated!

"call--

well.

The legacy of the alchemist, and news of the legendary third continent, right?

Jiraiya, the information is very likely true.

Otherwise, Anton and his team wouldn't have gone to such lengths to orchestrate this incident.

Hua Zhen licked her lips.

The parchment in his hand seemed to be imprinted with the image of a slut, making his eyes burn with fervor.

Hua Zhen glanced at the parchment, then carefully placed it in her backpack.

If the news is true, then finding this alchemist's legacy would mean simultaneously obtaining a large sum of money and information about the Third Continent.

Even if all else fails, selling information about the Third Continent would definitely make a lot of money!

However, it is not advisable to act rashly at this time.

With his current strength, if he were to act rashly, it would be like a skinny, nerdy guy walking down the street with his newly dated, innocent-looking, big-breasted beauty—easily attracting the attention of blond-haired thugs.

Even worse, you can't recruit other adventurers to do this kind of thing. It's like bringing a beautiful girl to a blond guy and telling him to take good care of his girlfriend; it's just incredibly stupid!

"As expected, I still have to rely on myself — luckily I have the ability to see GG resurrect. It's time to find an auspicious day to die and become stronger."

"When I get back, I need to find out if there's any way to die painlessly—wait, damn it, painless death? What if—I die from being a jerk?"

Haha, I've found a way to farm death counts, haven't I?

Hua Zhen is simply a genius unlike any other before or since!

Even on Qidian.com, there's no one with a higher level of sexual intelligence than me!

As Hua Zhen thought this smugly, he casually placed Valentina on the ground.

His arm has returned to normal.

Why has Valentina stopped talking since earlier?

Staring at "Holy crap!"

Miss Knight Princess is currently in a semi-conscious state, with her eyes rolled back and her tongue sticking out.

He looked as if he had been soaked through by a heavy rain, his whole body drenched.

Speaking of which, during the battle with Anton just now, it seemed like there was water splashing on the "shield".

Where does the water come from?

That's so strange.

After confirming that Valentina was out of danger, Hua Zhen went to check on Tiague, Karula, and Shiva.

Miss Jin doesn't need to look.

Falling from such a height, there's no chance of survival.

It's disgusting that someone could die from a fall twice.

However, Hua Zhen felt that he couldn't really be blamed for this, and could only silently pray for Miss Jin Jin in his heart.

There is still one thing to be resolved.

Hua Zhen turned his gaze to the unconscious Miya. This girl was not dead yet; she had just been knocked unconscious by his tentacles.

Hua Zhen glanced at Tia and Karula, then at Miya.

Then, the killing intent in his eyes gradually intensified.

Although he didn't really want to kill anyone, Miya absolutely couldn't be kept alive, much less handed over to other adventurers.

Otherwise, the parchment matter would likely be exposed.

People who hinder their ability to make money—honestly, shouldn't they all die?

Hua Zhen pursed her lips, picked up the magic gun sword, and aimed the muzzle above the hilt at Miya's heart.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind.

Hua Zhen instinctively raised her magic gun-sword in alert.

Emerging from the gradually thinning mist were four familiar faces.

The Skull Quartet.

"Oh dear, rebuilding the body took a little while. Is this part finished?"

"Not bad. You had pretty much a strong grip back in the cemetery, but you actually managed to take care of these guys."

Damn, I forgot about these guys.

The four skeletons strolled over casually, and kicked Mia along the way.

"Huh, how come this piece of junk is still alive?"

"Haha, didn't you love women the most? Here's a ready-made one!"

"Get lost, get lost, damn it, she's in the same industry. Although her rank is obviously trash, the thought that she's not a gentle, sweet, and lively girl makes me feel disgusted."

"Family, let's take a look at Jinjin. Look what she's done to herself! Holy crap—thankfully, she's not injured. If we leave her with Mango, she should be fine."

"Don't mention Mango to me! That guy still doesn't know what he's doing, just fiddling with some ridiculous evil god statue all day!" Jin Jin's father said angrily. "If that guy were half as obedient as Jin Jin, I'd sleep with beautiful women every day!"

"Speaking of which—" Hua Zhen suddenly said, "Could anyone do me a favor? Miss Jin Jin said she would help me with the curse, but she's in this state now—"

"curse?"

All four skeletons turned to look at them.

Hua Zhen had no choice but to explain her situation, as well as that of Tia Ge and Karula.

Although Jin Jin said that her family members wouldn't be of much use in her skeleton form, it would still be good to hear some of their experience since Jin Jin's father had personally lifted the curse.

"In that case, I can take this opportunity to help you."

"Um?!"

"Since Jinjin agreed to your request, as her father, I have an obligation to fulfill my promise to her," Jinjin's father said. "Besides, you even helped her find the Ghost Grass."

"But—how do we do it?"

"Young man, don't underestimate me," Old Man Jin said, stepping on Mia's head. "While I can't do much in my current state, I can cast spells through this fellow necromancer's body. However, her mind will be completely confused afterward, turning her into an idiot from now on. How about it, want to do it?"

"Please help me!" Hua Zhen said solemnly.

Jin Jin's dad is indeed Jin Jin's dad; his fatherly skills are even better than his daughter's.

Although his old bones were unable to cast necromancy, he used a unique manipulation technique.

By inserting bone needles into the human body, one can turn it into a puppet, and then manipulate Miya to cast spells.

However, this unique technology also comes at a price.

In his spirit form, Hua Zhen could see that the soul fire in Old Man Jin's eyes had dimmed considerably.

"Next, we will begin the process of separating your soul—during which your consciousness will be dormant for a period of time."

"No, there won't be any risks, will there?"

"What in this world is without risk? Even drinking water can cause someone to choke to death! But don't worry, you'll just feel like you've taken a nap, and you won't feel anything at all."

Okay—we have no choice but to do it.

At worst, we can be resurrected.

Soon, Hua Zhen felt her consciousness sink into darkness.

There was nothing there, just emptiness all around.

Ah, kimoji.

If the afterlife is really like this, then honestly, it's not so scary.

and many more.

Hua Zhen sensed that something was wrong.

Isn't it said that consciousness can fall asleep? Why can I still think now?

A faint light came from below.

Hua Zhen looked down.

A giant golden eye slowly opened from the void.

The pupil of this one-eyed creature is surrounded by strange dial markings.

It was solemn and dignified, yet it carried a hint of resentment and ferocity.

"I will—always, always be watching you—"

"No matter when—no matter where—no matter where you run—I will always be watching you—"

"Until, forever————"

In his terror, Hua Zhen felt himself being suddenly sucked into the pupils below. He felt like a speck of dust, utterly powerless against the suction of a vacuum cleaner.

But just as he was about to be sucked in—

Hua Zhen suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

There was no golden eyes in front of him, but Jin Jin's father.

This old body suddenly looks much more pleasing to the eye.

"Here, this is a part of your soul. Now you're complete. How is it—you don't feel anything, do you?"

As he spoke, Old Man Jin tossed a small blue crystal to Hua Zhen.

"Keep it safe. As long as the distance between your soul pillars does not exceed thirty meters, you can fool the Eye of Curse."

Just as Hua Zhen was about to say something, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

Everyone immediately looked around.

Amidst the surrounding mist, the enormous serpent's body slowly undulated.

Before they knew it, they were surrounded by the body of a giant snake that was over a hundred meters long.

Immediately, the ferocious giant snake's head emerged from the mist, its cold snake eyes coldly staring at the crowd, and the special horn on its head was made of countless snakes with bodies like water pythons twisted together.

"666, there's a fourth level."

Hua Zhenren is numb.

When did it arrive?

Hua Zhen could even imagine the giant snake's movements. First, it would detect their direction, then meander into a large circle, and finally slowly contract its body until it was certain that its prey was within its encirclement, only then would it rampage without restraint.

Show up.

"How the hell can there be such a huge snake?" The four skeletons were dumbfounded.

"Quick! Kid, grab Jinjin's body and run! We'll clear a path for you!"

After saying that, the four skeletons instantly merged and reformed, transforming into a large skeleton soldier more than three meters tall, ready for battle.

At this moment, Hua Zhen sighed.

"No, you can't even handle the tentacle monster—let me do it!"

"What are you talking about? This thing is definitely a monster from the depths of the underground labyrinth; you can't handle it! We can try to distract it!"

"That's right."

"What's right?"

Hua Zhen took out a bunch of purple crystals from her backpack.

"This thing is so powerful, killing it would definitely make a lot of money. I'm entrusting Miss Jin Jin and Tia Ge to you for now."

"This is... Energy Amethyst?" Cousin Oupai's eyes widened. "Where did you get so many? And are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

"It's better than everyone dying here. You wouldn't want the heir of the Edward family to be eaten by a giant snake and excreted as a pile of poop, would you?"

Hua Zhen collected all the energy amethyst crystals and stuffed them into his work clothes.

These energy amethysts were ones he had previously obtained from the adventurers' "treasure trove".

He originally carried this thing just as a token gesture, since it's normal for it to suffer some damage in battle, and it's also normal for fragments to be accidentally left on him.

It's just that there was never any opportunity to use it before.

When dealing with the tentacle monster, its explosive force might injure Tia.

When dealing with Anton and the others, there wasn't enough time for him to rummage through his backpack. Even if he did find it, he would need to detonate it and gamble that the other party wouldn't be able to dodge it.

But this huge thing in front of us—there's no way we can avoid it, right?

"Trust me, I never lose, and there won't be any pain from the explosion—I'm actually quite afraid of pain. Protect them, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Hua Zhen ran wildly toward the giant snake in front of him.

But the giant snake's gaze wasn't on Hua Zhen at all—or rather, Hua Zhen simply didn't catch its eye; its gaze...

He looked into the distance, his snake eyes slightly narrowed, as if there was some kind of threat there.

This gave Hua Zhen an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Hua Zhen had heard that energy amethyst was a kind of unstable magical crystal.

Although he could not activate it by infusing it with magic.

But—he still has the magic gun and sword in his hand.

Without hesitation, Hua Zhen pointed the gun at the pile of amethysts in her "bellyband" and pressed the fire button.

"Charge!"

"Everyone, sprint at full speed!" Niu Si roared as he sprinted.

More than two hundred elite adventurers are currently running wildly across the Misty Plains.

When they first noticed that the fog was starting to thin, Nius and the other adventurers were overjoyed.

Knowing that Hua Zhen and the others had succeeded, they immediately launched a search and rescue operation.

Just ten minutes ago, the team's explorers discovered traces of a giant object moving in the area; the rolling grasslands had been flattened, and huge gullies had appeared in the ground.

Without a doubt, this is the trail of a giant monster.

Based on the intelligence gathered by the vanguard team on the 24th floor, Niu Si and the others quickly realized that this was the Hydra Serpent!

Hydra Serpent —

Powerful monsters originally appeared in the deeper levels of the 39th floor.

It usually takes more than fifty gold-level adventurers working together to successfully defeat it.

However, it appeared on the 23rd floor.

Niu Si and the others immediately realized that it must have been following something, but that was no longer important, because Hua Zhen and the others were still deep in the mist.

Even with Valentina by their side, if they encountered the Hydra Serpent, their fate would undoubtedly be the same.

"Those guys are definitely dead already. Is it worth us wasting so much effort on dead bodies?" Tyrannosaurus said. "If we waste so many resources here, this expedition will be a complete waste."

"Shut up! Even if it's a corpse, we have to get it back! Those guys saved our lives!"

"How could this happen—this expedition is too weird!" Vivi exclaimed worriedly. "I wonder if our battleband's 'Barking Dog' skill will work on the Hydra Serpent—"

"Forget it, even a Hydra serpent's corpse is worth two or three hundred thousand," Tyrant Tiger scoffed. "Then I'll reluctantly go and collect those guys' bodies."

"Don't say that. What if they haven't gotten into trouble yet?"

"I'd be quite happy to see those brats scared out of their wits," Tyrant Tiger sneered. The matter of that woman kicking my groin isn't over yet—

Although the exact location of Hua Zhen and the others is unknown.

However, through previous search and rescue efforts, they already knew that the lost adventurers were basically heading in the same direction, and following this direction would likely lead them to the location of Hua Zhen and the others.

Finally, in a full-speed chase, they saw the outline of the giant snake and its deep, terrifying eyes.

"It has spotted us!"

"Everyone prepare for battle! Take down the Hydra Serpent!"

Weiwei was startled at this moment: "Wait—look, that's—Mr. Hua Zhen?"

Following Weiwei's scream, Nius and the others also spotted Huazhen.

He was charging alone toward the Hydra Serpent, as valiant as a porcupine charging through the forest.

Then, a distant roar, seemingly about to be executed but meaningless, was heard from Hua Zhen.

"Oooooooooooooooo!"

"Ahura Mazda!!"

"Hidden energy on your back—activate!!!"

Followed by.

A sudden flash of deep purple light erupted, emitting an intense glare.
