Chapter 10 Snakes Appear

[New book seeking recommendations, favorites, and monthly votes]

However, under the pressure of life and death, some people reacted instinctively. Some picked up kitchen knives and swung them wildly at the venomous snakes that pounced on them. Some snakes were cut in half by the knives, while others landed on people and bit them. Some snakes had their heads cut off and were still flying around biting people.

"Kill them! These snakes must be the enemies hiding in the mist. Killing them will drop loot."

Ji Tianhao had sharp eyes and immediately realized that dying here might result in dropping something.

For example, the moment that career elite was bitten to death by a venomous snake, a ball of light appeared out of thin air beneath him. If his body hadn't disappeared, one would have thought it was some kind of game where death resulted in the dropping of equipment, and a ball of light had fallen out. The instant he saw it, he used his ability of the spacetime singularity to absorb it into his space in a single thought. The whole process was completed silently and without a sound. The speed was so fast that many people who saw it thought they were seeing things.

However, in the ensuing chaos, someone killed the venomous snake, and in doing so, several orbs of light were created. This situation, where death resulted in the dropping of orbs of light, was immediately exposed to everyone.

Nobody's a fool. Living in the modern world, even if you haven't played the game, you've heard of it. Seeing the sight of a glowing orb falling after death immediately makes it clear that this is some kind of special rule similar to a game. Add to that the Guixu Watch, and you can guess that the orb contains a treasure, not an ordinary item.

A group of people were immediately filled with strong fighting spirit.

They grabbed whatever tools they could find and attacked the venomous snakes around them.

In fact, there is a relationship between humans and snakes.

If a person's courage is not broken by venomous snakes, and they dare to confront them and fight, they may not be afraid. Of course, if the number of venomous snakes increases, then one's own ability will be tested. Many people are still afraid of venomous snakes, especially women, who have a deep-seated fear of these soft-bodied reptiles.

Those who dare to launch an attack are still in the minority.

However, those who made the move were mostly not ordinary people; they acted with remarkable decisiveness.

Clang! !

Without hesitation, Ji Tianhao took the fish-cutting knife he carried with him and casually named it "Slaying Karma," meaning that killing is for the purpose of protecting life, and that Slaying Karma is not about killing people.

Puff puff! !

Wielding the Karma-Slaying Blade, he slashed down, instantly severing a bamboo viper that lunged at him. The blade was so sharp that the severed snake head seemed oblivious, continuing its flight forward, opening its mouth to bite, but he dodged to the side, causing the attack to miss. A ball of light remained in its place, which was then absorbed into the singularity space. At this moment, there was no time to see what was inside.

Too many venomous snakes have fallen, and they are still emerging from the ventilation ducts in droves.

In just a few short breaths, the entire B restaurant was now filled with colorful venomous snakes.

With a swing of the Karma-Slaying Blade, one could clearly see venomous snakes being precisely cleaved in two. The Karma-Slaying Blade was incredibly sharp; in ancient times, it would have been said to be able to cut hair in the blink of an eye, slice through gold and jade, and cut through iron like mud. Ordinary venomous snakes could not pose much of a threat to a battle-hardened bounty hunter. With a single slash, several, or even a dozen, venomous snakes would die. The light spheres that were created at the moment of death were immediately absorbed into the space.

"Huh, after killing the poisonous snake, something's not right with the Karma-Slaying Blade."

Ji Tianhao's gaze fell on the Zhanye Blade. For some reason, during the process of slaying the poisonous snakes, every time he killed one, some mysterious specks of light seemed to merge into the blade. As soon as those specks touched the blade, they would mysteriously disappear.

Not only his own Karma-Slaying Blade, but even the Mitsubishi Military Dagger held by Thousand-Faced Fox seemed to have mysterious points of light disappearing into it when slaying the venomous snake.

Others who killed venomous snakes with a knife had specks of light incorporated into the knife. It seems that the weapons and tools used to kill targets can all produce these mysterious specks of light.

What will happen after the fusion is something we obviously don't have time to explore right now.

But it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Even if it's a bad thing, there's nothing you can do about it.

"There are too many venomous snakes. We'll stand with our backs against the wall, each of us guarding one side, and it will be beneficial for killing the snakes."

Ji Tianhao glanced at Hu Youni and Qi Lin beside him and said quickly.

Hu Youni wielded a triangular military dagger, almost as long as a short sword, and with a few swings, venomous snakes were slain. Qi Lin, a pipe dangling from his mouth, held three small, black iron pellets coiled in one hand. The pellets spun rapidly under his fingers, and one, propelled by a burst of force, shot from his palm, striking precisely the head of an onrushing venomous snake. The weight of the pellet was unknown, but it instantly smashed the snake's head into a bloody pulp.

Then, the iron gall bladder that had been thrown out flew back towards Qi Lin's palm under an invisible force. The instant it landed in his palm, the second iron gall bladder flew out again, smashing into another venomous snake.

The three iron balls moved with unbelievable agility in his hands, back and forth with incredible skill, almost like a dream. The ability to launch them and return them was truly astonishing. Even with special techniques, ordinary iron balls could not be retrieved so easily.

Ji Tianhao glanced at them, impressed by the incredible power of the three iron balls in his hands.

It must be said that none of those who have made a name for themselves in the underworld are pushovers.

"Alright, everyone, stand back to back against the wall to prepare for the snakes' attack. These are just ordinary venomous snakes, so don't panic, we can handle them. I'll blow some smoke."

Qi Lin took a drag of tobacco and exhaled it into the air in front of him.

Instantly, a cloud of smoke rapidly expanded outwards, enveloping the three of them and forming a small smoke ring.

"What kind of cigarette is this? It's so pungent and smells bad. Did you drop your tobacco in the latrine?"

As soon as Hu Youni smelled it, she immediately covered her nose with her left hand and glared at Qi Lin, clearly disgusted.

"Nonsense! What do you mean by 'tobacco falling into the latrine'? This is Ruyi Smoke, the smoke that comes out can repel snakes and insects. With this smoke, even poisonous snakes will avoid us. If you don't like it, then get out."

Qi Lin almost choked to death by her.

His special ability is Ruyi Smoke, which allows him to absorb various special tobacco shreds and integrate them into the Ruyi Smoke within his body, forming a unique type of smoke with corresponding properties. When needed, he can simply open his mouth and spray out smoke with various effects.

Just like the smoke that can repel snakes and insects, it's made from special yellow tobacco, processed with a secret medicine, the main ingredient of which is realgar. That tobacco doesn't taste good when inhaled; an ordinary person would be poisoned after just one puff. In other words, he awakened the Ruyi Smoke, which he could then use for his own purposes.

However, the smell of this smoke is really unpleasant.

It smells almost the same as rotten eggs or the smell of a latrine.
