Chapter 90: The Tragic End Of The Serpent



In the instant Agasi was sent flying, he swiftly turned back in retaliation.

Blessed by a peculiar enchantment, Agasi burst forth with astonishing speed, charging towards the serpent's head. His collision sent it reeling, successfully dodging the serpent's strike.

Meanwhile, the huge bird was locked in combat with the black giant queen bee. Once again, it activated the verdant shield, enveloping the monsters.

In less than five seconds, the serpent would break free and decimate the bees. Holding off the serpent for this long was already a remarkable feat.

But it wasn't enough. The players had only one option now: to flee.

Coming to his senses in an instant, Agasi bolted towards safety in the distance, unleashing his hidden potential in the face of danger.

Each stride faster than the last.

They did not look back, knowing survival was paramount at this moment.

Even though Potato knew he would do the same, seeing another group of players retreat silently irked him.

Glancing stealthily at Asks-The-Heavens for answers, there was still no intention of movement.

"They're all running. Let's go too."

"Okay," Asks-The-Heavens replied, suppressing the taste of blood in his mouth.

Originally, Potato intended to cover Asks-The-Heavens from behind, knowing Asks-The-Heavens was faster. It might earn him some goodwill later, even if he ended up trailing behind.

But how could Asks-The-Heavens agree? His "okay" wasn't agreeing to flee, but to charge forward.

Potato hesitated for a moment, then seeing Asks-The-Heavens rush out, followed by the remaining players.

The serpent pursued, its massive body sweeping past, kicking up dust and felling trees. Birds that had hidden in the forest scattered in fear.

The bees were even more distressed.

They knew continuing to fight the serpent would mean certain death.

Choosing to run also meant a bleak future, but for now, they gambled.

The serpent grew increasingly agitated, its charge towards Agasi becoming faster, almost catching up.

With its violent thrashing, it was difficult for Athena to run on its body.

For the black giant bees, they should have surrounded the yellow giant queen bee alongside these two monsters.

But after a year had passed, the serpent had evolved unexpectedly.

This cooperative relationship had already been broken, so now their priority was to deal with the serpent.

Despite being part of the yellow bee tribe, the yellow giant queen bee struggled to hold back the huge bird.

Athena swung the black abyss axe at the serpent's seven-inch part repeatedly, aiming to crack its tough phosphorus armor, even if just a little.

Feeling the attacks on its vulnerable spot, the serpent grew more furious, trying hard to shake off the humans on its body, but Agasi, accompanied by numerous yellow giant bees, kept it surrounded.

What made it even more agitated was that those insignificant insects it once looked down upon, those weak humans, were now climbing onto its body.

Athena wasn't having an easy time either. The scales of the scattered serpents around her had turned into small snakes, hindering her advance.

In the midst of the battle, Athena's hair had long come loose, sticking to her shoulders in sweat.

But with the support of other players, Athena felt much lighter instantly. They surrounded her, fending off the serpents converging from all sides.

The one enjoying the battle the most was Asks-The-Heavens, followed by Potato, who wielded his large shield like a sword. The duo wasn't thrilled but knew Athena had a plan.

Finally, after relentless effort, a piece of scale on the serpent's seven-inch spot shattered, revealing its soft flesh beneath.

Striking at the seven-inch spot was the serpent's greatest weakness and its most reinforced part.

In that moment, it went berserk, emitting a blinding light.

"Escape!"

This shout was almost shouted by Athena with all her strength. She threw a good quality Fireburst Ball into the flesh of the snake monster.

Originally, when the yellow giant bees were about to start a massacre directly using Fireburst Balls, Athena informed Agasi, who conveyed the order to stop.

Not because of anything else, but because she learned from Agasi that the current snake monster had evolved since the last time Agasi saw it.

It could transform into a human form, but the control was unstable, so it remained in its original form.

What Athena worried about was that under the many Fireburst Balls, the snake monster would choose to transform into a human form, gaining higher agility and mobility, making it harder to hit.

She lured the enemy step by step, choosing to boil the frog in warm water.

Even when Athena broke his phosphorous armor, all him thought about was throwing Athena off directly or transforming into a more powerful snake to kill her.

While his armor was indeed hard, the flesh beneath it was tougher.

By now, the snake monster had shrunken and transformed into a human form, but the Fireburst Ball was buried inside his body.

How is this possible?!

How could that human break his phosphorous armor?!

His white clothes gradually turned blood red. The red light in his eyes grew brighter, full of murder!

Just then, Athena beside him acted first. A faint light enveloped her, and she was directly teleported back to the cave where she was before.

The golden-eyed person now looked incredulous, watching Athena being teleported away, unable to stop it.

"No one can escape! Ahhh!"

Soon, his pupils were filled with disbelief and slight difference, making him feel extremely fearful.

But as Athena left, a wave of terror and heat, as if the earth was about to be destroyed, erupted from the snake monster's human-form body, sweeping across the entire area.

The tree monsters also let out a cry at the moment of the explosion, but soon collapsed, with countless roots tightly wrapping around them, forming a huge protective circle.

Players also noticed this change and ran as fast as they could.

When Athena told them to run, they had already retreated, but it turned out to be more terrifying than they had imagined.

Agasi and the others had long since left. The black giant bee queen watched as the yellow giant bees retreated and also wanted to retreat. The big bird naturally followed them closely, not being a brainless snake.

The explosion emanating from the snake monster's body shook the entire black forest. His body became tattered, full of wounds, silently lying on the scorched earth, no longer making a sound.

And all the surrounding creatures dare not step into the center area at this moment. This wildfire was more violent than any before. It was no longer red but a fiery flame.

Although the snake monster was seriously injured, he showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, his aura reached an unprecedented terrifying level, and his wounds began to recover and new blood grew within a short time.

Unfortunately, the cries of the tree monsters grew stronger and stronger. The roots that had nurtured from so many corpses had been blown apart. The new, smaller roots tangled around the motionless snake monster.

The snake monster began to struggle violently, not giving up even though blood was flowing everywhere.

Such injuries would degrade it, but not kill it. The energy released could push away surrounding creatures.

Allowing him to heal his wounds, but he was in the center area, and beside him was the tree monster, which spelled doom…

Take advantage of his illness, take his life.

The tree monster opened a deep crack in the center of the tree, and the snake monster was pushed inside like a hungry demon.

The sound of a tragic scream continued, unable to stop for a long time as the tree monster continued to chew the snake monster.

And the fruit on the tree was now ripe…
