Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 60 - An Epic-Ranked Imposing Field

Chapter 60: An Epic-Ranked Imposing Field

Countless crocodiles charged towards Wei Huo, but he was too strong for them. On top of that, his bronze sword was filled with his Qi energy as well, making it sharper than ever. The bronze sword managed to split each crocodile in half with just one swift movement.

There were over 20 giant crocodiles nearby. If an ordinary person walked in here, he would have been eaten up by now. Even teams of special forces would be no match for the crocodiles.

However, the crocodiles met with Wei Huo whose attack bar was 600 times greater than an average person’s. Wei Huo was capable of avoiding bullets with Ma.s.sacre Mode, so cold weapons were no longer a threat to him. In addition, he could completely ignore the possible damages from hand grenades or rocket launchers under the protection of his inner Qi.

If Wei Huo was wearing the bronze armor, one would need to bomb him with back-to-back missiles and exhaust his Qi energy before injuring him.

Nonetheless even then, Wei Huo might not be dead either. Wei Huo’s immune system was also getting stronger. He suspected that if he improved his Longevity Skill to Level 20, he could heal himself from any injury as long as his Qi energy was not exhausted. He could be just like Deadpool[1].

Wei Huo was indeed strong, but he had not come across an opportunity to show off his true strength. He had yet to cross paths with an enemy who could force him to use his full strength, or even make him consider using his Shadow Blade.

After killing the crocodiles, Wei Huo studied his surroundings.

The bottomest floor of the ruins no longer looked like a part of the ruins. It seemed more like an underground tunnel. Wei Huo walked through the tunnel and found some man-made items, but for the most part, there were more stone walls, dirt, and piles of gravel.

Wei Huo continued walking. Soon after that, Wei Huo saw a ray of light ahead. He picked up his speed and arrived at a hall.

It was a hall completely built from bronze. The ceiling, floor, pillars, and walls were all made with the Qi energy-conducting bronze.

Qi energy was everywhere in the hall and it s.h.i.+elded that s.p.a.ce, enabling the hall to resist time erosion.

Wei Huo looked to the center of the hall and found three treasure chests. They were all bronze treasure chests, and there was no way of knowing how long those chests had been there. There was a sleeping Giant Python surrounding those treasure chests.

The python was in deep sleep with its body coiled around those treasure chests.

Wei Huo read the Giant Python’s information through the Information Feed.

‘Giant Python. Gender: Female. Rank: Rare. Note: Killing it could lead to unexpected consequences.’

Wei Huo was puzzled. ‘What do unexpected consequences mean?’

Nonetheless, Wei Huo was more interested in the three treasure chests. There should be at least one Qi Cultivation Scroll in one of those treasure chests protected by that Rare-ranked creature, and there were three of them at the moment. However, he was concerned; what could be the unexpected consequences from killing this Giant Python?

Wei Huo wanted to try stealing all three treasure chests without alerting the Giant Python, but just like a preprogrammed setting, the Giant Python woke up as Wei Huo took a few steps towards it. It spotted Wei Huo and attempted to bite him right away.

Wei Huo scrunched his eyebrows and waved his bronze sword. In the next moment, blood splattered everywhere.

The Giant Python’s head fell off its body. Although its head was severed, the Giant Python’s body continued struggling for over ten seconds before dying.

Wei Huo waited for some time, but nothing happened. ‘What exactly are the unexpected consequences?’

Nothing happened!

Wei Huo was puzzled. He looked around him and could not find anything.

Wei Huo cautiously waited for three seconds before walking towards the bronze treasure chests. He opened one of them, and found a scroll in it.

The scroll was named ‘Qi-Conducting Bronze Skill. Wei Huo looked it up and discovered that it was indeed a Qi Cultivation Scroll.

That was an almost death-proof scroll. Although practicing it would not increase one’s lifespan, it could harden one’s body and increase his combat capabilities.

Wei Huo was about to open the second treasure chest when the ground under his feet began shaking.

Wei Huo was shocked. He pulled his hand back, and was saved by Ma.s.sacre Mode once again.

Wei Huo had his Ma.s.sacre Mode activated the whole time, and that was how he could sense the abnormal activity under his feet. He hopped backward as the ground cracked open, and a behemoth crawled out of the ground.

It was a behemoth with four limbs and a sharp python’s tail. The most remarkable thing was that it had three snakeheads!

Wei Huo understood what the creature was through his Information Feed.

‘Bittertide Hydra[2]. Gender: Male. Rank: Epic. Note: Killing its partner would lead to unexpected consequences!’

Wei Huo was speechless. “…”

‘This was what unexpected consequences meant!’

Wei Huo understood it at that moment. The Rare-ranked python was not the superboss, this Epic-ranked Bittertide Hydra was!

Wei Huo looked over at the two unopened treasure chests behind this Bittertide Hydra. There must be greater treasures in them!

Wei Huo looked back at the giant Bittertide Hydra and realized that this Epic-ranked three-headed snake was just three times larger than the Rare-ranked python. Was this really considered Epic-ranked?

In the next moment, the Bittertide Hydra became angry. It seems that it knew that Wei Huo was the one who killed its partner.

While the three-headed snake was raging, Wei Huo felt a threatening aura from coming from deep within the snake’s soul!

The three-headed snake emitted a terrifying threatening aura that formed an imposing field. The imposing field was about ten meters wide. One would feel a great threatening aura upon entering the field.

The threatening aura was so strong that Wei Huo felt as if he was carrying heavy objects on him. It seemed as if the gravitational force around him increased.

Wei Huo knew that the gravitational force did not really increase. It was just a psychological effect of him unconsciously feeling like his own weight increased.

The three-headed snake charged towards Wei Huo, and one of its heads attempted to bite him. Wei Huo avoided the attack by rolling over.

The Ma.s.sacre Mode had saved Wei Huo once again. This time, he did not need the help of G.o.d View as the Ma.s.sacre Mode itself possessed a murderous aura that counteracted the three-headed snake’s imposing aura. That was how Wei Huo could avoid the attack.

Wei Huo came to a realization. ‘Isn’t the Ma.s.sacre Mode’s murderous aura a half-baked product of the Epic-ranked imposing field?’
