Can't provoke, truly can't provoke.
Just as Wang Wu was scared out of his wits, ready to flee, abandoning his own lair, never daring to return.
He saw that golden Saint Mantis swing a great blade, and over a hundred Wandering Mantis Blade Masters charged, howling like a rolling green tide.
Wang Wu almost wet himself from fear.
But he soon realized this had nothing to do with him, because the target of these Mantis Blade Masters was not him at all. They flapped their wings, soaring above rooftops and traversing the cliffs as if they were on flat ground, heading straight for the Black Snake Race above the cliffs.
Oh my!
Truly turning the Celestial Spirits upside down.
Although the Black Snake Race had been hit repeatedly, their leader taken by a giant eagle, and consistently attacked by the Flame Scorpion and Gray Rat clans, making the Black Snake Race suffer, as the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Brother Mantis, are you sure you won't think twice?
The cliff occupied by the Black Snake Race, it's one of the top three Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands among the many Little Demon clans in the valley, are you really considering suicide?
Wang Wu found it hard to understand.
Even if they captured it, turning the Wandering Mantis Race into the Mantis Race, they wouldn't be able to hold it.
While feeling regretful, he continued to wait, now it seemed to be the Purple Gold Three Minutes, and that golden Saint Mantis obviously came prepared.
The battle on the cliff should be intense, occasionally a corpse of a Wandering Mantis Blade Master would fall, all of which Wang Wu silently collected and quickly consumed.
It didn't take long, just the end of the Purple Gold Three Minutes and the start of the Golden Three Minutes, when that golden Saint Mantis suddenly led forty to fifty Wandering Mantis Blade Masters down the cliff, altogether dragging away a black Snake that looked similar to a Black Snake Assassin, but thicker and longer; it seemed to be a Black Snake elite ranked second tier in the Black Snake Race.
My word, so you were not here to occupy Black Snake territory, but to raid the valley's nomadic tribes!
Impressive!
Wang Wu could immediately think of the reason behind the golden Saint Mantis's actions, toxin, Snake Poison Resistance.
Because only in this way can this raid truly yield great rewards.
Indeed, no tribe lacks wise ones.
Thinking this, Wang Wu suddenly made up his mind, originally planning to sunbathe at the bottom of the cliff and absorb golden particles, now he thought, amidst the chaos, could he possibly go up the cliff to pick some autumn wind?
This cliff looked steep, but it was covered in cracks and uneven, generally stepped in layout.
Wang Wu had observed from afar before.
The top of the cliff is about thirty meters off the ground, there it's the Purple Gold Three Minutes area, a dozen meters down from the cliff edge is the Golden Three Minutes area, and from there down is the lowest eight-meter region.
So he didn't need to venture into the Purple Gold Three Minutes area, just getting some benefit from the Golden Three Minutes area would suffice.
The height was just around eight meters total, at worst, he could just jump down.
Climbing was quite strenuous, actually, Wang Wu barely climbed to the edge of the cliff, only about eight meters up, when the bright sunlight already poured down, it was already more than halfway through the Golden Three Minutes, soon transitioning to Silver Three Minutes.
But this time, climbing these eight meters up, felt like stepping into the middle class.
The golden sunlight shone on him, warm, the Level 1 Spiritual Talent activated automatically, in an instant, he seemed clad in a layer of golden armor.
Golden particles danced within a few meters radius, absorbed by him.
In just half a minute, he absorbed 124 golden particles in one breath, transforming them into 12.4 points of Spiritual Qi.
So stimulating, so rich, so extravagant.
Does being wealthy feel this pleasurable?
Wang Wu let out a contented sigh, but didn't dare be a bit careless in thought; he dared not continue climbing up, instead rapidly climbed down, careful not to alarm the already battered good neighbor, the Black Snake Clan.
It wouldn't be good to cause any misunderstandings.
A minute later, Wang Wu absorbed another 6.5 points of Spiritual Qi, totaling his current Spiritual Qi at 22.9 points.
He can add more points again.
Without hesitation, he continued to enhance the Stealth Talent, upgrading it to Level 4 Concealment.
Thereafter, he ran, even though Silver Three Minutes still had two minutes to go, he didn't care, he dashed into the bushes, headed straight for the stream, drank to his fill, then moved to Berry Plain to fill his stomach until his Satiety reached the maximum of 300 points.
No more, no less, exactly two minutes.
But clearly, he shouldn't think about returning to the rock cleft today, because those Gray Mouse Knights were already prepared, encircling from that direction.
There's nothing to be done, Wang Wu had no choice but to tuck into the grass once again.
Just three seconds, the Level 4 Concealment Talent activated, the effect was excellent.
"Since you maintained stillness for over three seconds, you activated Level 4 Passive Concealment, you have now merged perfectly with the environment, all insects and most beasts will ignore you, a small portion of careless Demons will also overlook you unless you're right next to them."
——
Goodness, even at Level 4 Concealment, it's still not enough against Demons?
Wang Wu felt a chill, suddenly understood why the giant eagle had so easily pinpointed him days ago, perhaps it felt like humans looking at possums playing dead.
But what counts as a Demon?
That golden Saint Mantis, Black Snake Leader, Flame Scorpion, White Rat, Black-faced Centipede?
Thinking this, Wang Wu felt a bit worried, not knowing if the giant eagle would return today, or if another Great Demon would come flaunt their power?
The valley was quite lively for a while, characteristic of the morning, apart from the squeaking, rampaging Gray Mouse Knights, other numerous insects and small animals were busy, including those Little Red Birds like red fire spirits darting above the bushes, occasionally snatching up a bug quickly.
But they generally wouldn't fly far, or maybe Wang Wu just couldn't see them.
To the east and south of the valley were majestic snowy mountains, to the north were continuous dark green mountain ranges, to the west, no mountains could be seen, just towering Giant Wood, looking like an endless forest.
The stream in the valley flowed in that direction.
About an hour later, the valley quickly quieted, the most dangerous time of the day arrived, even the sun seemed to grow strange.
Including Wang Wu, all creatures and little demons in the valley were probably on edge.
Fortunately, the long day passed, nothing happened, no giant eagle came, no other Great Demon appeared, but that's not a reason to relax.
By dusk, the valley became lively again, Wang Wu once more embarked on the journey back to the rock cleft, feeling like a migrant bird bear migrating at morning and dusk.
Along the way, he avoided the areas where the Spider Sisters roamed, ignored the encircling Gray Mouse Knights, he was like a rampaging, lucky Lucky Bear, bursting out of the bushes and diving into that familiar rock crevice.
But in the next second, a shadow flashed inside the dark rock crevice, a black snake sprang up like lightning, biting his neck.
Dammit, that hurts!
He could clearly feel the sharp fangs penetrate his skin and flesh.
A wave of paralysis flashed by but quickly dissipated.
"You fell into a trap set by the Black Snake Race, ambushed by an elite Black Snake Priest. Because your Bloodline Talent level is too low, your Danger Perception Talent is suppressed!"
"Because of your Defense Level, you sustained 80 points of pierce damage and because of your Snake Poison Resistance, you took 1 point of poison damage."
