Tavern of the Spear: Desire for Pleasure

Chapter 151 Slime!!!

Unlike Cheng Yu's good fortune, Bai Yu's situation was somewhat awkward. After the fierce battle ended, he chose to stay where he was, closing his eyes to rest. He thought that since the battle was over, someone should come to meet him and guide him to the next scene.

However, as time ticked by, the surroundings remained completely silent. No one appeared, nor were there any hints or guidance. Bai Yu waited quietly, his doubts deepening.

"What's going on? Have I been forgotten?" A sense of doubt arose in Bai Yu's mind. He began to wonder if he had missed some important information or overlooked a crucial step.

Finally, Bai Yu could no longer wait. He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was still the battlefield from before. Everything around him remained unchanged, as if time had stood still for him.

"It seems I have to find a way myself," Bai Yu muttered to himself. He realized that he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his doom; he had to take the initiative and find a way to leave this place.

Bai Yu stood up and looked around. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his anxiety. He knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and not lose his composure.

"Is anyone there?" Bai Yu suddenly shouted, his voice echoing across the empty space. He hoped to get a response, even just the slightest clue.

However, apart from the echo, there was no response. Bai Yu's shouts sank without a trace, failing to stir up any ripples.

"It seems I really am all alone here." Bai Yu sighed helplessly. He realized that he had to face this predicament alone, with no one to rely on.

Although somewhat embarrassed, Bai Yu was not discouraged. As a proud tiger-beastman, he possessed a strong sense of self-respect and confidence. He believed that with his wisdom and strength, he would definitely find a way to leave this place.

Bai Yu closed his eyes again. This time, he was no longer passively waiting, but actively exploring. He concentrated his mind and maximized his perception.

Centered on Bai Yu, invisible ripples began to spread outwards. These ripples were formed from Bai Yu's spiritual power; they could sense the fluctuations in the surrounding space and search for hidden clues.

Bai Yu's mental power was like radar, scanning every inch of the surrounding space. He carefully sensed every subtle change, not letting go of any suspicious place.

Time passed slowly, and Bai Yu's mental energy had covered the entire area. He discovered that although the surrounding space seemed calm, it actually concealed many unstable factors.

These unstable factors are likely the key to the next scenario. Bai Yu continued to delve deeper with his mental energy, attempting to find the connections between these factors.

Suddenly, Bai Yu frowned slightly. He sensed an unusually strong spatial fluctuation in a corner of the arena. This fluctuation was completely different from those in other places; it was more intense and more unstable.

"Found it!" Bai Yu was overjoyed. He knew he had found the entrance to the next scene.

Bai Yu opened his eyes and walked towards the direction from which the spatial fluctuations had come. He arrived in front of a huge rock, which was very similar to the rock that Cheng Yu had encountered before.

Bai Yu carefully observed the rock and discovered that its surface was also covered with moss, making it appear to blend in with its surroundings.

However, Bai Yu's mental power told him that the interior of this rock was not simple. It concealed a passage to an unknown space, and this passage was the exit Bai Yu was looking for.

Without hesitation, Bai Yu mobilized the spatial power within his body, preparing to open the passage in the most direct way.

"Spatial Annihilation!" Bai Yu shouted, and his hands emitted a dazzling light. The light quickly condensed into a huge energy ball, which he then blasted towards the rock.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar followed, and the rock instantly turned to dust under the impact of the energy ball. The once solid rock proved so vulnerable in the face of spatial power.

After the rocks disappeared, a somewhat unstable spatial tunnel appeared before Bai Yu. Strange lights flickered within the tunnel, as if it led to an unknown world.

Bai Yu looked at the spatial tunnel before him, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. He knew he had finally found a way to leave this place.

Without much hesitation, Bai Yu took a deep breath and stepped into the spatial tunnel. His figure instantly vanished in the light, leaving only a slowly rotating spatial vortex.

Inside the spatial tunnel, Bai Yu felt as if his body was being pulled forward by an invisible force. Everything around him became blurry, with only colorful lights flashing before his eyes.

The feeling was strange, as if he had traveled through time and space to a completely new world. Bai Yu didn't know where he would be taken, but he wasn't afraid. He believed that as long as he was strong enough, he could overcome any difficulty.

Finally, Bai Yu felt the surrounding light gradually disappear, and his body stopped moving. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a completely new scene.

This scene was completely different from the previous forest; it was filled with strange sights and unknown dangers. Bai Yu knew that a new challenge had begun, and he had to adapt to this new environment as quickly as possible, find the entrance to the next scene, and continue his journey.

Bai Yu took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly ahead. He knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges lay ahead, he would face them bravely. Because he believed that as long as he never gave up, he would surely find his way home.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yu had already been exploring this entirely new environment for some time. He discovered that it was far more dangerous and complex than the previous forest. He had to remain constantly vigilant to survive in this world full of unknowns.

Cheng Yu explored this entirely new environment for some time. He discovered that it was more dangerous and complex than the previous forest. He had to remain vigilant at all times to survive in this world full of unknowns. He walked cautiously along a narrow path, flanked by towering, strange plants whose branches intertwined to form a natural barrier.

Suddenly, Cheng Yu stopped. He sensed that something was watching him from ahead. He held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds around him.

"rustle……"

A faint sound came from the bushes ahead. Cheng Yu's gaze sharpened instantly; he stared intently at the bushes, ready for battle at any moment.

"call--!"

A dark shadow suddenly darted out of the bushes and pounced on Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu reacted extremely quickly, leaping backward to avoid the shadow's attack.

The shadowy figure landed on the ground, revealing a gigantic lizard-man. His skin was dark green, covered with hard scales. His eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and he continuously emitted low growls.

"Another troublesome fellow," Cheng Yu thought to himself. He knew he had to deal with this lizardman as soon as possible, or it would bring more trouble.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath and mobilized the power within his body. His claws emitted a faint glow, a signal that he was preparing to launch an attack.

The lizardman seemed to sense Cheng Yu's threat as well, and he began to slowly approach Cheng Yu. His steps were slow, but each step was full of power.

Cheng Yu didn't wait; he launched an attack. Like an arrow released from a bow, he charged towards the lizardman.

"boom--!"

Cheng Yu's claws collided with the lizardman's scales, producing a dull thud. Cheng Yu felt a sharp pain in his claws, but he did not back down.

Cheng Yu continued his attack, his claws raining down on the lizardman's body. Although the lizardman's scales were tough, they began to crack under Cheng Yu's relentless assault.

Enraged by Cheng Yu's attack, the lizardman began to retaliate fiercely. His tail lashed out at Cheng Yu like a whip.

Cheng Yu quickly dodged, but was still grazed on the shoulder by the lizardman's tail. A sharp pain shot through him, and a bloody welt appeared on Cheng Yu's shoulder.

"This guy's strength is indeed not to be underestimated," Cheng Yu thought to himself. He knew that he had to find the lizardman's weakness as soon as possible, otherwise this battle would become extremely difficult.

Cheng Yu's gaze quickly swept over the lizardman's body, trying to find its weakness. Suddenly, Cheng Yu noticed that the lizardman's abdomen was relatively vulnerable as it lacked the protection of scales.

"That's it!" Cheng Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately adjusted his attack strategy. He no longer blindly attacked the lizardman's entire body, but instead locked his target on its abdomen.

Cheng Yu suddenly leaped into the air, his claws like sharp blades, aiming straight for the lizardman's abdomen. The lizardman seemed to sense Cheng Yu's intention and quickly retreated, trying to avoid Cheng Yu's attack.

However, Cheng Yu was faster. His claws pierced the lizardman's abdomen, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Roar--!"

The lizardman let out a painful roar, his body shuddered violently, and he collapsed to the ground. Cheng Yu gave him no chance to catch his breath; his claws pierced the lizardman's heart once more.

The lizardman's body convulsed violently a few times before it completely lost its life. Cheng Yu let out a long sigh, his body swaying slightly, a trace of exhaustion flashing in his eyes.

"Finally resolved," Cheng Yu murmured. He knew that although the battle was difficult, he had ultimately emerged victorious.

Cheng Yu slowly got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked down at the wound on his shoulder; although it wasn't deep, the burning pain was still very clear. He took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and carefully applied it to the wound. The cooling sensation of the medicine quickly relieved the pain, and the wound began to heal slowly.

"Phew, finally it's over." Cheng Yu let out a long sigh, a hint of exhaustion flashing in his eyes. He knew that although the battle was brief, it had drained a lot of his strength. He needed to recover his strength as soon as possible to face the challenges ahead.

Cheng Yu looked around to make sure there were no other dangers, then continued walking along the path. He silently prayed that the rest of the journey would be smoother.

After walking about half a kilometer, the surrounding environment hadn't changed much. The strange plants still towered into the clouds, and the path remained narrow and winding. However, Cheng Yu keenly sensed that the monsters around them seemed to be increasing in number.

At first, he only encountered some low-level monsters, such as goblins and wolf cubs. Although there were quite a few of these monsters, they were relatively weak and did not pose a significant threat to Cheng Yu.

However, as he ventured deeper, the types and strength of the monsters began to change. He started encountering more powerful monsters, such as the lizardman he had met before, and some strange creatures he had never seen before.

These monsters were more ferocious in their attacks and more formidable in their defenses. Cheng Yu had to be much more careful to avoid getting hurt.

After walking for a while, Cheng Yu discovered that the monsters around him were gradually being replaced by a new kind of creature—slimes.

These slimes come in all sorts of colors: red, green, blue, and even transparent. They vary in size, from as small as a fist to as large as a small mountain.
