Chapter 206: Chapter 195 The Catastrophe of Hell
"So those heads aren\'t the natives of Hell."
"Then, it seems we can call it a catastrophe in Hell,"
A catastrophe is an invader from outside.
"A catastrophe in Hell... I\'ve never heard of such a thing," the Great Skeleton muttered.
"When the generals and lords gathered at the border, I suspected they were preparing for something. Now it seems they were preparing to flee—but I don\'t know if the general made it out," Shen Ye recalled.
He was standing by the lake at this moment.
The lake was as smooth as a mirror.
The vast land was also flat, like a platter.
All the Undead Souls had been devoured.
Bleak desolation and deadly silence filled the surroundings, quiet and breathless, as if to drive one mad.
The Great Skeleton did not speak, but grabbed a cluster of Soulfire and placed it in the crocodile head.
"Revive,"
it commanded.
"To fight for you, my king," the crocodile head growled.
It came to life!
But since it had no body, its race changed from Aquatic Life to Undead—
—only the Undead could control the body in this situation.
"Since you arrived in Hell, have you been living in this lake the whole time?" Shen Ye asked.
"No, I\'ve traveled many places, I actually—look out!"
The crocodile head shouted suddenly.
Before Shen Ye and the Great Skeleton could react, it had already spat out a Magic Light Orb that looped in midair, heading back towards itself.
"You guys better run! That thing is coming again!"
the crocodile head yelled.
Boom!
The Magic Light Orb struck it.
It died.
Shen Ye and the Great Skeleton looked up at the sky together.
"It went back to Purgatory?" Shen Ye asked.
"Yes, it seems it feels safer in Purgatory this time," the Great Skeleton said.
"Running so fast, it seems it doesn\'t have the courage to fight alongside us," Shen Ye commented.
"Next time, I won\'t revive it," the Great Skeleton shrugged.
Above their heads, in the clouds—
A mass of skull heads emerged, each one staring fixedly at the two of them.
They were hungry.
They wanted to feast!
Silent and still.
Time seemed to stop at that moment.
A head pierced through the cloud, with a long tube trailing behind its brain—
It dove straight at the two of them!
"Only one? Are they underestimating us?" the Great Skeleton was a bit displeased.
"Don\'t think that way; their underestimation is actually our chance."
Shen Ye said.
He promptly pulled out a bow, skillfully notched the arrow onto the string, and aimed at the head.
His finger moved.
The arrow whistled through the air swiftly.
The head smirked, not dodging, confronting the arrow head-on—
Crack.
The arrow broke.
The skull remained unscathed.
Shen Ye raised an eyebrow in surprise.
If all the heads were this troublesome, he would have to reassess the difficulty of his entire journey through Hell.
Behind him, the Dharma Aspect with twin dragons coiling around quietly emerged, exuding an imposing aura.
"You\'ve invoked your Dharma Aspect already, planning to go all out from the beginning?"
Continue your saga on M V L
The Great Skeleton was surprised.
Normally, when facing an entirely unknown enemy, it would be a wise choice to use long-range archery for probing.
But to directly invoke the Dharma Aspect and release all of one\'s Professional Skills at full power in the first move—
Wasn\'t that being a bit too confident?
After all, this strike would consume a considerable amount of Attribute Points!
Just like back on the frontlines when Shen Ye invoked his Dharma Aspect and launched his Thunderclap Palm Technique, which sent a Great Knight flying.
"—Better to figure out what we\'re dealing with while the other heads haven\'t charged down."
Shen Ye said.
A thunderous twanging sound came from the bowstring.
Swish swish swish swish swish—
Arrows poured out like rain, swiftly streaking through the sky, sealing off all possible evasion paths for that head.
The head ducked and weaved, dodging past the arrows, but eventually, one persistent arrow struck its mark.
"Hmph."
The head roared in anger, biting down on that relentlessly pursuing arrow.
Shen Ye shouted, "Hit!"
An icy Dharma Pupil appeared above his head, emitting an Ice Beam that turned the head into a ball of ice.
Pupil Technique: Frost Line of Slaying Demons!
Now the head couldn\'t dodge even a bit.
The arrows filled the sky, tracing arc-shaped trajectories as they turned back, incessantly targeting the head frozen by the frost.
This was the explanation of the skill "Sudden Rain":
"—Once hit, it signifies the end of the battle."
A dull piercing sound resonated.
In mid-air, the head was turned into a hedgehog by the arrows.
Every time an arrow struck, a Demon-slaying Frost Line emerged from the Dharma Pupil above Shen Ye\'s head.
With that, the head didn\'t even get a chance to struggle.
The final arrow—
Whoosh!
The head burst, turning into a sky full of crimson frost.
"Nice archery."
The Great Skeleton complimented.
Shen Ye didn\'t respond but kept his eyes on where the head had been, murmuring softly:
"Something\'s not right, look—"
The Great Skeleton looked up to see that although the head had exploded, the long tube behind it remained intact.
"It\'s not a tube... can you see clearly?"
"Yes, is that—a tree\'s root?"
"It should be a tree\'s root."
While they spoke, the root wriggled, and a brand-new head sprouted from its end.
"Werewolf Green!"
Shen Ye exclaimed in disbelief.
Yes.
That head was indeed Werewolf Green!
So bursting one head was entirely meaningless since a new one could just grow back!
But luckily he had gone all out just now and burst one head.
Otherwise, in later fights, if he thought bursting one head would allow him to rest easy—
That would be the end of it.
"Ah, so it\'s the Scout Team Leader. Even I couldn\'t escape; how did you manage to survive?"
Werewolf Green spoke.
Contrary to what Shen Ye saw through the Dharma Eye—
At this moment, Werewolf Green\'s expression was twisted and ferocious, with a glint of sheer madness in his eyes.
Without waiting for Shen Ye\'s reply, he charged straight at him.
Shen Ye switched quivers, stepping back as he drew his bow and shot!
Swish—
The arrow carved a beautiful Arc of Light through the air, aiming straight for Werewolf Green\'s forehead.
Heavenly Archery, Solitude of Light!
"You\'re using the archery techniques the general taught you to shoot me?"
Werewolf Green laughed loudly.
As the arrow neared, a struggling expression suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he forced himself to dodge to the left —
The Arrow of Light grazed past his ear and hit the elongated root.
The root broke.
Werewolf Green\'s head sailed through the sky and fell on the plain across the lake.
"Save me."
His voice drifted over from afar.
Shen Ye felt inclined to pick up the head, but the Great Skeleton cried out frantically:
"Run!"
A deluge of heads poured down at an abnormal speed from the sky.
But their target was not Shen Ye, it was that head!
Werewolf Green\'s head!!!
Shen Ye gritted his teeth, dashed forward a few steps, and suddenly exclaimed:
"Within ten steps, one life is taken, leaving no trace after a thousand miles."
With a burst of thunderous rumble, the Ghost Fire Motorcycle appeared and began to move slowly.
Shen Ye rushed out a few steps, leapt onto the motorcycle, and shouted lowly:
"AI operation, full speed ahead, to the highest point!"
"Received."
A pleasant female voice responded.
The motorcycle accelerated from slow to fast, turning into a blur, and with a sudden leap off the ground, it transformed into a small flying shuttle.
Boom —
White light surged from the streamlined flying shuttle, breaking the sound barrier.
Accelerate!
Accelerate further!!!
The sky full of heads fell heavily.
But a streak of light came from afar, flying across the plain, landing together with them, and reaching the location of Werewolf Green\'s head.
Several heads opened their mouths to bite Werewolf Green\'s head.
Suddenly, a few laser beams burst from the flying shuttle, repelling these heads.
Taking advantage of this moment —
Thump!
A soft sound.
The flying shuttle disappeared in an instant.
Shen Ye continued to fly close to the ground, grabbed the head on the ground, and pressed his other hand into the void.
"Door! Door!"
He said.
A door opened.
Shen Ye flew in, taking the person and door with him as they vanished.
An endless cascade of heads thunderously struck down, cratering the land.
But Shen Ye had already left.
Main World.
Park.
A secluded corner.
A man and woman had just arrived here.
"Come here, let\'s cuddle a bit," the man said with a teasing smile.
"No, stop, it\'s embarrassing, someone might see us," the woman chided coquettishly.
"Hahaha, who\'s around to see!" the man said, unconcerned.
A door appeared.
Shen Ye flew out holding a wolf\'s head.
"It\'s alright, it\'s alright, I won\'t be coming back for a while, carry on!"
He waved to the couple, his face apologetic.
Using the inertia to fly forward a distance before diving into another door, he disappeared from sight.
"..." the man.
"..." the woman.
"Was that just —" the man hesitated.
"A ghost!"
The woman screamed and scurried towards the brighter area outside.
Nightmare World.
Hell.
Chaotic Bone Land.
Shen Ye had set a coordinate here using "Stellar Shift."
As soon as the door opened.
He crashed in, hugging the ground and continuing forward with the momentum until the force ran out.
— The land had become incredibly flat, which spared him the risk of hitting any obstacles.
Shen Ye tumbled on the ground and then sprang to his feet.
He still held Werewolf Green\'s head in his hand.
It was lifeless.
"Hey! Green, it\'s Zhong Baxter, speak to me," Shen Ye said.
Whispers of the Dark activated.
The werewolf\'s head trembled slightly.
"Walk west..." the werewolf struggled, grinding its teeth as if restraining something with great willpower, "The general has broken free, hurry to protect him."
Pop.
The head exploded.
Some invisible force had burst it!
"No, the fluctuations emanating from this head are wrong!"
The Great Skeleton said.
Shen Ye\'s expression changed dramatically, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.
The sky had completely darkened.
An endless sea of heads looked down from above.
Boundless.
The entire sky was filled with heads.
— There was no possibility of escape.
"There are too many; it\'s impossible to fight,"
the Great Skeleton moaned.
"Indeed, but I want to see more of their strength. After all, if it were one-on-one, it seems I wouldn\'t need to fear them," Shen Ye said.
"They don\'t want to combat you one-on-one. Earlier, they thought we were too few to bother with, so they only sent one head to eat you and me," the Great Skeleton said.
"True, with so many heads, they\'d struggle to share us," Shen Ye said.
While he talked with the Great Skeleton, he quickly analyzed the heads in the sky.
His archery was useless against so many heads.
He couldn\'t shoot them all.
So, what else could he use?
Frost Bite?
Although Frost Bite had advanced, it simply couldn\'t kick them all away.
The sky full of heads roared towards him.
"Let\'s go! Shen Ye, if we don\'t leave now, it\'ll be too late!" the Great Skeleton urged, suppressing its fear.
Shen Ye stared at the oppressive throng of heads.
— What other means of attack did he have?
Right.
Thunder —
Shen Ye raised his hands, silently executing the Thunderclap Palm Technique.
Blue-white Thunder Light appeared on his hands, radiating irregular sparks all around him.
A deep and prolonged thunderous roar sounded continuously.
At that moment.
Shen Ye was like a Divine Spirit who commanded the thunder and lightning.
Seeing this phenomenon, the heads in the sky scattered with a boom.
They showed signs of vigilance, moving around uncertainly in a defensive posture.
— Thunder Exorcism.
They were afraid of thunder!
