"Roar... awooo!"
The demon snake coiled around the tree trunk spotted Fang Bai and the others at once. Just as it was about to roar, a small figure suddenly flashed before it!
Before it could react, it took a kick right in the face!
Then a blade came down, cleanly severing the demon snake's head!
Instantly killing a First Order!
Meanwhile, Fang Bai had already charged before the two pig demons. Without hesitation, he decisively unleashed Lightning Domain!
Domain damage range: ten meters!
"Spiral Lightning Pellet!"
Fang Bai slapped a palm against the ground. In an instant, Lightning Power ran rampant within a ten-meter radius!
The two pig demons were immediately shocked numb!
At the same time, Xiao Yuan rushed over and rammed straight into one of the pig demons!
Fang Bai followed close behind, flipping backward through the air to land behind the pig demon. He drove his blade straight into its chrysanthemum!
"Awoo~~"
The pig demon let out a miserable scream, collapsing to the ground and rolling around in spasms!
But Fang Bai gave it no chance, ending its life with two direct slashes!
[ Ding! Killed demon beast x1, obtained a small amount of Exotic Energy! ] [ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the main quest: Kill ten demon beasts within one month! ] [ Reward: Host receives a medium amount of Exotic Energy! ] [ Reward: Attribute Awakening Draw x1! ] [ Reward: Host's physique increased by 10%! ] [ Reward: Host receives Specialized Nuclear Bomb x1. Placed in the System Space and available for use at any time. ]
After Fang Bai killed that pig demon, his mission was finally complete!
At the same time, the Exotic Energy within his body surged dramatically!
[ The Host's current Exotic Energy reserves have reached the conditions for advancement. Advance? ]
"Advance!"
Threads of electric arcs erupted around Fang Bai's body, their power already surpassing what it had been before!
First Order Advanced!
At last, he had reached the team's average level!
Before Fang Bai could celebrate, an aura suddenly locked onto him!
"Not good!"
Fang Bai looked toward the source of that aura and discovered it was actually a Second Order bull demon!
It howled and charged over at full speed!
"Xiao Yuan, A Xiu, the wind's getting tight! Time to scram!"
Fang Bai turned and ran!
Though he had broken through, he was still only First Order. Against a Second Order demon beast, he had no confidence in winning at all!
Xiao Yuan was still sitting atop the pig demon, giving it a full set of Wolf Fang Whirlwind Fists. Hearing Fang Bai's words, he immediately fled as well!
As for A Xiu, she was already outside this area!
Exotic Energy surged through the bull demon's four limbs, making it incredibly fast! They had originally been over a hundred meters apart, but the distance had now shrunk to fifty or sixty meters!
"Fuck me! Did this old bull take steroids or something? Why's he so fast? Is he Bolt's mount?"
Fang Bai ran while spitting out complaints!
Then alarm bells suddenly rang wildly in his heart, and he nearly instinctively rolled to one side!
A pit a meter wide exploded at the spot where he had just been standing!
"Wind element!"
Fang Bai looked up to see a demon bird diving down at him!
A Second Order demon beast!
Another Second Order demon beast!
Ten thousand alpaca beasts thundered through Fang Bai's heart.
I may have advanced, but why did the enemies get stronger too?
In that brief gap, the bull demon had already closed to within ten meters!
Fang Bai's expression instantly turned savage. "Fuck it, I'm going all in!"
In the sky, the demon bird looked down at Fang Bai, amusement glinting in its avian eyes.
As though Fang Bai were nothing more than an entertaining toy in its eyes.
Fang Bai ignored the giant bird overhead and charged directly toward the bull demon!
Clang!
The Alloy Battle Saber struck the bull demon's body, producing a piercing shriek!
The next second, Fang Bai's arm went numb, and his entire body was sent flying!
His strength simply could not break through the other side's defenses!
The bull demon snorted out two streams of breath and charged at Fang Bai again!
"Roar! Don't touch my big brother!"
At the crucial moment, Xiao Yuan arrived, clad in earthen armor as he slammed into it!
The next second...
Xiao Yuan flew even farther than Fang Bai...
Fang Bai had no time to worry about Xiao Yuan, because the giant bird overhead was already diving at him!
How the fuck was this any different from a crashing plane?
Fang Bai appeared to have fallen into a certain death trap.
"Take this, Eight-Part Light Wheel!"
At that critical moment, a low shout rang out. Immediately afterward, an enormous wheel of light shot over at high speed!
Sensing danger, the giant bird hurriedly stopped its dive, then flapped its wings and dodged the attack!
Fang Bai exclaimed in delighted surprise, "Holy shit! Old Qi! You came at exactly the right time!"
Qi Tian stood not far away with his arms folded over his chest. He blew at his bangs and calmly said, "The protagonist always makes his entrance last!"
The moment he finished speaking, the giant bird in the sky pounced toward him!
The aura of a Second Order demon beast spread out, making even Qi Tian's expression turn grave.
They were both Second Order, but there was simply no comparison between them!
Without hesitation, Qi Tian shouted, "Holy Light Ash!"
A blinding light flared up, as though a tiny sun had appeared in the field. Every living creature lost its vision!
"So strong?!"
Fang Bai was shocked. Is this Qi Tian's second skill? The style points are way too damn high, aren't they?
"Old Bai, run!"
Qi Tian's voice rang out.
Fang Bai was baffled. They were already this awesome, so why the hell were they still running?
Then he realized that Qi Tian's voice seemed to be coming from very far away!
Holy shit!
Without hesitation, Fang Bai shut his eyes and charged in the direction of Qi Tian's voice!
He understood now. Qi Tian's skill was all thunder and no rain, useful only for blinding eyes and completely lacking in killing power!
This guy had plenty of skills for showing off, but none of them were practical...
After running a long way, Fang Bai's vision finally returned to normal. Looking around, he saw the bull demon standing in place and looking about in all directions.
The demon bird was fluttering aimlessly in midair.
Qi Tian smugly said, "How about it? My second skill's sick, right?"
Fang Bai gave him a strange look. "It's definitely a little underhanded. You even screw over your teammates?"
Qi Tian retorted, "If it weren't for me, you'd already be dead!"
That was true. Fang Bai thanked him, then looked around.
"Where are Xiao Yuan and A Xiu?"
Qi Tian pointed into the distance. "They ran that way."
Fang Bai nodded. "Let's hide for now too."
He had still underestimated those demon beasts. He had originally thought they could swiftly kill the pig demons before circling around and weaving through, but he had not expected to be discovered anyway.
A moment later, the two found a concealed place and hid.
Qi Tian said solemnly, "Bro, you really need to settle down. If you go out again, you'll be walking straight into death!"
Two Second Order beasts alone were enough to give them a headache. What if they ran into a whole group?
Fang Bai understood that as well. He nodded and said, "I'll rest for a while."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes to rest his mind.
Qi Tian curiously sized Fang Bai up and muttered, "How does Old Bai cultivate like he's drinking water? I look away for a bit, and he's stronger again?"
Qi Tian had been observing Fang Bai the whole time. At first, Fang Bai had only been First Order Beginner, but judging from the strength he had displayed just now, he was clearly at least First Order Advanced!
Could Fang Bai have been hiding his cultivation?
At that moment, Fang Bai's thoughts had already sunk into the system.
He still had other rewards.
When he saw a green warhead in the System Space, Fang Bai froze.
"No, System, is this warhead for real?"
The system calmly replied, "Guaranteed genuine, Host! This is a system-customized nuclear bomb. Its power is enormous, its detonation time is ten seconds, and its blast radius can reach five hundred meters!"
So it could blow up every living thing within a kilometer-wide area?
Fang Bai suddenly grew excited.
Holy shit! If he used this thing to kill demon beasts, wouldn't he soar straight into the sky?
But how to deploy it was also a problem.
If it exploded, with only ten seconds, he definitely would not be able to escape.
But if he had A Xiu use Teleportation... wait, that did not seem viable either. If powerful demon beasts noticed them, A Xiu would not be able to escape either.
Fang Bai felt somewhat regretful. For now, he could not use this nuclear warhead.
Still, it at least gave him some confidence. If he were forced into a dead end next time, he could just pull out the nuclear warhead and have everyone party together, directly bringing equality to all beings!
Then Fang Bai looked at the prompt and asked, "What does this Attribute Awakening Draw mean?"
[ Attribute Awakening Draw: The Host may choose to draw an awakening attribute, or choose to draw a skill of a specified attribute! ]
Two roulette wheels appeared before him.
The Attribute Awakening roulette contained: fire, lightning, wood, ice, light, darkness, demon, space, time...
The Attribute Skill roulette also bore those same words, with skills related to each attribute contained within them.
Fang Bai's gaze lingered on the lightning-element skills for a while.
After all, lightning was the only element he currently had.
But after only a second, his gaze fell upon the Attribute Awakening roulette. He decisively said, "Draw an attribute!"
[ Ding! Draw attempt x1 used. Drawing... ]
