Absolute Death Game

That really was close, standing at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Buli still felt a lingering trepidation in his heart. He suddenly realized that he had become a bit too careless lately.

Ever since he had advanced to be a Cursed Swordsman and synthesized life-saving skills like Skimming Shadow Steps, Shadow Clone, and Cloud Thunder Leap, and especially after his Ethereal Armor had been upgraded to LV10, these life-saving skills had given him a blind confidence in his own safety.

No matter what kind of enemy he faced, he always believed that with these powerful life-saving skills, he would be safe, but today he almost lost his life here. @@novelbin@@

He had almost forgotten the brutality of this game.

He needed to remind himself of this at all times; fortunately, he had escaped by luck this time. If the creature’s attack had been a bit stronger, or if his own operation had been a bit more negligent, his character might have died by now. Although one could be resurrected with Merit Points, he only had 200 points, which was still a distance away from revival.

Just thinking of being torn to shreds by an irresistible force in reality made Xiao Buli shudder uncontrollably.

His True Origin Points were already more than half depleted; Xiao Buli sat down cross-legged, slowly recovering his True Origin Points while falling into deep thought.

It seemed that he would have to be more careful in the future. The Bull Rush Plain, and even the Dark Forest, likely did not count as the most dangerous areas in this game. Undoubtedly, the Bull Rush Plain was a beginner area, while the Dark Forest could at most be considered as an intermediate area. He probably had yet to experience the truly difficult and dangerous areas.

In the eyes of someone like Xuanxu Zi, the strength of the monsters one would face in the later stages of the game would definitely not be something he could contend with at the moment. Even the Desolate Mountains might not actually be a high-risk area, at best it might just be considered the wilderness. Even a non-dungeon cave like this was so dangerous.

What would be the difficulty level if he found a dungeon in this desolate jungle?

Constantly thinking and warning himself, Xiao Buli’s True Yuan had gradually filled up. He stood up to scan his surroundings; the sun had unknowingly almost set, and in the jungle, dusk always came sooner. He was hesitating whether to find a relatively safe place to log off or to go straight back to the Mystic Hollow Palace when suddenly a panther charged rapidly at him from not far away.

What a death wish! Xiao Buli thought to himself. Compared to those bizarre Shadow Spiders, this seemingly fierce beast now appeared to be a much softer target. He was preparing to give this wild beast a heavy blow when the panther instead dashed straight past him. Could there be something chasing it?

Xiao Buli looked in the direction from where the panther had come, and a dark swarm was rushing towards him—monkeys, leopards, tigers. They seemed to have been startled and were running chaotically in his direction.

Xiao Buli knew this was not good as soon as he saw the situation and quickly leaped onto a huge rock. The wild beasts didn’t even glance at him, rushing directly under the rock. Behind them, a pack of wolf-like creatures was moving swiftly through the marshes and jungle, getting closer and closer.

An elephant seemed to be too close to the marsh, and being too heavy, it sank into it. As it struggled to climb out, a strange creature suddenly leapt onto its back. The elephant screamed once, and in the blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed by dozens of those odd creatures and was torn into countless pieces.

However, these strange creatures didn’t eat the pieces immediately; instead, they carried the chunks of flesh back in the direction they came from without any hesitation.

What were those things?

Because of the cover of vegetation and the dimming sky, he couldn’t get a clear view of the appearance of those creatures, but he still recognized their name—Tengu Spiders (mutant creature)?

He was stunned for a moment when he saw the name of these strange creatures; this was the so-called Tengu Spider? But they looked nothing like spiders.

Xiao Buli hesitated for a moment, and by then, the Tengu Spiders were already running far away. He quickly jumped down, activated Skimming Shadow Steps, and pursued them. Although the Tengu Spiders seemed threatening, this was after all the wilderness, where he could always use the Cloud-Thundering Sky Flash to escape, so there was no fear of dying.

Even with Skimming Shadow Steps activated, Xiao Buli found he was still completely outpaced by those creatures. Thankfully, many Tengu Spiders were biting into large chunks of flesh, which allowed him to barely keep up. As he got closer, Xiao Buli could finally get a clear look at these creatures.

They looked more like a hybrid between some kind of insect and a wild beast, or perhaps mutant creatures cultivated in a lab. They had six tough legs and mouths made up of four pairs of sharp fangs, two large and two small, all hooking inward, resembling the entrance to a meat grinder. The large fangs were over twenty centimeters long, and the smaller ones were five or six centimeters.

No wonder they could easily bite off elephant flesh. Judging by their running, they seemed to be some sort of canid creature, probably the origin of the ’Tengu’ in Tengu Spider.

Fortunately, these creatures didn’t seem to have a strong sense of smell, as they couldn’t detect Xiao Buli at all after he turned invisible. After getting a clear view of their appearance, Xiao Buli hesitated for a moment but then decided to continue following them. After all, the 500 Contribution Value points from a Sect mission were very precious.
