Wang Wu didn't go to the bushes to grab berries, because he had enough food.
At the moment, he was indulging in the Mazha Mountain Bandits, while waiting for the Level 4 Healing Talent to restore his Life Value.
Today's start was quite smooth, and the gains were not bad.
First, he managed to touch the Scorpion King's butt and still keep his life, which was the biggest gain. His Flame Resistance could definitely be increased to (5/10).
Next, he safely farmed enough Silver Three Minutes, not too much or too little, just enough to gain 19 points of Spiritual Qi.
Then there were the Mazha Mountain Bandits, which were not only delicious and nutritious but also contributed quite a bit of Spiritual Qi. Don't forget they had just been sunbathing.
Although some juicy mazha legs were snatched by the Little Demons, he still benefited well from the remains.
Wang Wu munched down everything, providing him with nearly 600 points of Satiety.
Among this, 400 points of Satiety were consumed for Self-Healing.
Then, he also gained a total of 23 points of Spiritual Qi.
Counting the leftovers from before, plus the Spiritual Qi obtained from eating the Wandering Mantis Blade Master, his current total Spiritual Qi is 44.5 points.
Unprecedented abundance.
This time, after much consideration, Wang Wu decided to prioritize upgrading his Life Value.
He consumed 40 points of Spiritual Qi to upgrade twice, increasing his Life Value from the original 110 points to 130 points.
There was no other way, he was afraid of being instantly killed.
Although he believed he timed the encounter with the Scorpion King well this morning, and the effect was ideal, upon serious reflection, it still left him terrified.
So with Basic Attributes and Bloodline Talents upgraded to a good extent, he should focus on upgrading his Life Value next.
The sun got scorching again, and Wang Wu lay in the deepest part of the rock crevice, quietly watching his Life Value recover until he successfully gained the fifth Flame Resistance point.
The Scorpion King above the cliff hadn't made any move, nor came down for revenge. The Spiritual Qi replenishment this morning must have restored its strength to the Peak. Even though it is alone now, without any timing constraints, those five White Rats probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Around ten in the morning, outside in the sky, the cry of that giant eagle echoed again. Almost simultaneously, Wang Wu sensed a killing intent that made him tremble with fear, though it couldn't break his limit or cause a mental breakdown.
Hmm, he couldn't understand it, but he was, indeed, scared enough to want to shake.
If he trembled, the Level 5 Concealment State would end automatically, meaning he would immediately be discovered by the giant eagle.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The huge gust swept over the cliff, as if the giant eagle was circling near the cliff. No way, is the Flame Scorpion King going to be caught as a snack?
Wang Wu was very worried.
For a long time, the terrifying pressure, like atmospheric pressure, disappeared suddenly as the giant eagle left.
But Wang Wu still didn't dare to move. He even thought about finding another place to live.
This cliff is undoubtedly a landmark of this valley, and the focus of the giant eagle's inspection every time it comes. Regardless of its purpose, staying here would eventually bring bad luck.
For instance, if he happened to be in the middle of a three-hundred-round battle with other Little Demons when the giant eagle arrived, it would definitely see him from afar.
By the time he saw the giant eagle and tried to hide, it would be too late.
As he was pondering, Wang Wu heard a bang, as if a fiery red figure flashed past the entrance of the rock crevice. Damn, the Flame Scorpion King, it wasn't caught by the giant eagle after all!
It has come down for revenge!
At this moment, Wang Wu was genuinely scared stiff, but fortunately, he quickly reacted, striving to control his mindset and maintain silence. He was now in Level 5 Concealment State, so even the giant eagle could not perceive him, which meant the Flame Scorpion King definitely couldn't discover him either.
Especially since the entrance to the rock crevice is so small. You're so big, hey, you can't get in…
Just as Wang Wu thought of this, the next second, he saw a fireball suddenly form in front of the Scorpion King, growing as big as a human head in an instant, and then launching it into the rock crevice.
Grass!
That's dirty play!
Is there no Martial Virtue left!
In an instant, the head-sized fireball exploded inside the rock crevice. Perhaps the only fortunate thing was that the fireball didn't hit Wang Wu directly, but instead hit a protruding rock about eighty centimeters away from him, blocking this deadly strike for him.
"Boom!"
In a flash, Wang Wu could hear no sound, and he couldn't maintain Level 5 Concealment State. Such a thick rock protrusion shattered into pieces, and the broken stones acted like nails from a blast mine, puncturing him with countless bloody holes.
The shockwave from the explosion also instantly sent him spinning around several times, slamming him hard against the rock wall.
The rolling flames and terrifying high temperatures swiftly sealed off the entire rock crevice, turning it into a fiery coffin, tightly enclosed.
Damn, that Scorpion King is really ruthless!
Fortunately, this Wang Wu was no longer the same as he was this morning.
He was able to withstand it.
He survived.
Even did a little better than he imagined.
"You have suffered from the Fiery Scorpion King's revenge!"
"You have suffered 60 points of fireball blast damage, with your 9 points of Defense successfully offsetting 27 points of damage, you took 33 points of damage in the end."
"You suffered 40 points of stone fragment impact damage, with your 9 points of Defense successfully offsetting 27 points of damage, you took 13 points of damage in the end."
"In the closed space, you suffered 50 points of continuous burning damage, with your 5 points of Flame Resistance offsetting 15 points of burning damage, you took 35 points of continuous burning damage in the end."
...
This was a deadly attack from the Scorpion King in its peak state, yet it only dealt 81 points of damage to Wang Wu overall.
Of course, a large part of the reason was that he managed to enter Level 5 Concealment State after a few bounces, even though he didn't extinguish the fire on him and let it continue to burn.
For he truly feared the Scorpion King worrying that he wasn't dead and sending another shot his way…
As it turned out, his caution was extremely useful. The Scorpion King patiently waited outside the entrance of the rock crevice for more than half an hour, even sending two small scorpions to inspect before leaving satisfied.
Soon, from the nearby low mountain where the five White Rats lived, came the rumbling sounds of fireball explosions. With ample Spiritual Qi support, the Scorpion King was truly fierce, launching nine big fireballs at one go.
And upon hearing this commotion, Wang Wu dared not move even more.
Fleeing was useless; the Scorpion King was currently on top, and Wang Wu didn't understand why the giant eagle didn't take the Scorpion King as a snack, instead emboldening it to seek revenge.
In any case, he couldn't stay here; he should escape as far as possible under the cover of night.
The valley returned to calm again, with all the Little Demons being as quiet as cicadas in cold weather.
Not until dusk did some liveliness return.
It was only then that Wang Wu managed to restore all the spent Life Value, at the cost of consuming all 300 points of Satiety. The only gain was his Flame Resistance increasing to (6/10).
But this brought him not a shred of security.
Because he was too aware of how lucky today had been.
Firstly, the Scorpion King didn't know Wang Wu's details, thinking that a full-power fireball would be enough to eliminate him.
Secondly, the Scorpion King's main hatred was still with the White Rats, unwilling to waste another fireball here.
Thirdly, coincidentally, the fireball hit that protruding rock, equivalent to giving Wang Wu a shield.
Otherwise, he would have definitely been dead.
With that head-sized fireball, in any terrain, if hit, just the critical damage to oneself would be at least around 200 points.
Could Wang Wu withstand such a thing?
Leave, leave!
