“Save me!”

“Quick, save me!”

In front of Jiang Yi, Zhou Tian was constantly trembling and howling.

The desolate beast snake was constantly slithering around his body. Zhou Tian had tried to catch it several times, but the other party had cleverly avoided him.

As a result, Zhou Tian, who was still holding his head high, was now lying on the ground and rolling around.

There was nothing he could do.

He couldn’t catch the little snake, so he could only try to use this method to drive it away.

On the other side, Jiang Yi’s mouth twitched when he saw it.

He had seen this kind of little snake in the Atlas. It was called the charm snake. Its specialty was that it moved silently, was good at hiding, and was extremely fast!

Moreover, an adult charm snake could reach the E-class realm, and it was also extremely poisonous.

And the one that was currently entangling Zhou Tian should be a baby charm snake.

Looking at Zhou Tian rolling around on the ground, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “Brother, continue. Weren’t you in high spirits just now?”

Zhou Tian didn’t have the time to reply. He frantically covered his entire body while shouting in fear, “Jiang Yi! Help me! I don’t know if this thing is poisonous or not. It has already bitten me. I’m afraid I’m finished!”

“…”

Jiang Yi was speechless.

Zhou Tian’s mental fortitude was really not that good.

It was just a young charm snake. Not only did Zhou Tian not know its characteristics, but he was even so scared that he couldn’t even speak properly.

He couldn’t be bothered to watch this fellow make a fool of himself anymore, so Jiang Yi simply came to his side.

The charm snake was crawling continuously on Zhou Tian’s body, so Jiang Yi couldn’t directly make a move. Otherwise, it would be very easy to cripple Zhou Tian, and he wouldn’t be able to touch the charm snake.

After some thought, Jiang Yi immediately used the first move of the Blood-cleaving Sword, Mountain-cleaving Sea!

He had not completely cultivated this cultivation technique, but it was more than enough to deal with such a young desolate beast.

Once the cultivation technique was used, Jiang Yi’s entire body exploded with a fierce bloody aura. That aura caused Zhou Tian, who was rolling on the ground, to stop moving!

As for the charm snake on his body, it seemed to be intimidated as it hurriedly escaped from Zhou Tian’s body into the grass.

“You want to leave?”

Jiang Yi’s expression froze.

Although this charm snake was young, it was still a threat to him if he kept it. Moreover, it was very likely that the other party would launch another sneak attack. Therefore, the best way to deal with it was to finish it off.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Yi suddenly stretched out his arm, using his palm as a sword, and abruptly hacked toward the grass in front of him!

An unparalleled aura instantly erupted. At this moment, Jiang Yi felt as if he was in a sea of blood that overflowed into the sky. His entire body was suffused with blood and Qi, and it intimidated all directions!

Zhou Tian’s entire body stiffened when he saw this.

“This fellow… is he even human?”

The charm snake in the grass was shocked by Jiang Yi. It let out a hiss and twisted its body as it quickly crawled out. Jiang Yi struck the ground with his palm and sliced the charm snake into two!

“Pop!”

A crisp sound rang out. Half of the charm snake’s corpse rose into the air and crashed right into Zhou Tian’s face. A trace of dark red blood splattered everywhere.

“F*ck…”

Zhou Tian hurriedly pulled the corpse away, and his face instantly turned extremely pale.

Looking at Zhou Tian who was almost scared silly, Jiang Yi said impatiently, “Hurry up and scram! It’s just a small snake, and you’re already scared to such an extent. You have the nerve to call out in front of me?”

Only then did Zhou Tian react, and he hurriedly said, “Many thanks! Many thanks for Brother Yi’s help!”

As he said this, Zhou Tian practically rolled and crawled as he ran.

In truth, Zhou Tian was only terrified of the charm snake.

However, when he saw Jiang Yi making a move, he was truly frightened.

At that moment, he seemed to have smelled a thick stench of blood. At that time, Jiang Yi gave him the feeling that he was a corpse that had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

At the same time, on the first troop carrier, Zhang Ming looked at the densely packed images in front of him and shook his head continuously.

What these images showed was the situation inside the crater!

As the training ground for the past few years, the officials had long installed cameras at various parts of the crater. At this moment, all the scenes were exposed in front of Zhang Ming’s eyes.

Looking at the students’ performance, Zhang Ming kept shaking his head.

“These students are really… too disappointing! They have just arrived at the periphery, and there are already people who are so scared that they don’t dare to move forward. How can such a martial artist go into battle to kill the enemy in the future!”

The comrade next to him smiled and said, “After all, they are all children. They still need to be trained properly.”

As he said that, he suddenly frowned. “Old Zhang, look over here!”

Zhang Ming asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong, brother?”

The comrade said in shock, “Come over and take a look first! I saw a student kill a young charm snake with one move. Even through the screen, I can feel the shocking killing intent of that move!”

“What are you talking about? Go back and let me take a look?”

Zhang Ming looked over. His comrade’s shock made him a little confused.

A student killing a young desolate beast, what kind of aura could he release?

… …

In the meteorite crater, Jiang Yi did not know that he was being watched by Zhang Ming and the rest.

At this moment, he was still thinking that Zhou Tian had been bitten by the charm snake a few times. Since that was the case, this fellow could only hope that the young charm snake was not poisonous. Otherwise, it would not be long before he would die.

Of course, this had little to do with him.

The other party had no enmity with him. Although they had some grudges, it was not something that could not be overcome. Furthermore, Jiang Yi had also helped him. It could be said that he had done his best.

Without caring about these, Jiang Yi continued to investigate.

The matter with the charm snake made him more vigilant.

Previously, he was like many people. He believed that desolate beasts were savage and would only attack head-on.

However, in reality, desolate beasts were not huge in size. Instead, they had different forms. Some desolate beasts were like the charm snake. Although they were small in size, they were good at sneak attacks, making it hard to guard against them. Some desolate beasts were just some inconspicuous insects that did not seem to pose any threat, but its one bite could paralyze a D-class warrior!

Zhou Tian’s matter made him realize that those desolate beasts that were good at sneak attacks were what he should be worried about.

The rest of the journey was considered smooth. Jiang Yi did not encounter any attacks even after walking for two kilometers.

However, he was not the only one participating in this trial. Although everything was going smoothly on Jiang Yi’s side, he could hear the exclamations of other students and the howls of various desolate beasts from time to time.

These were students who were as deep as Jiang Yi. Many of them had encountered desolate beasts head-on.

As he continued forward, Jiang Yi continued to explore. Soon, he arrived in front of a huge mine cave.

This was a trace left behind from the mining years ago. Now that it was in disrepair, the entire cave entrance had already collapsed.

And at this moment, Jiang Yi actually heard the sounds of human conversation coming from the mine. Clearly, there should have been other people who had entered the mine cave before him.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yi walked into the cave.

Since it was a man-made cave, there might be something good inside.

Of course, Jiang Yi didn’t have much hope.

After all, this place had been developed for many years, and the good stuff had long been taken away by others. The reason he went in was that Xiao Jinwei seemed to be among the voices.
