Absolute Death Game-Chapter 467 - 48 Evil God

Sword Control Technique—Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Sword! With a loud shout from Xiao Buli, the Glowing Light Sword whizzed up into the clouds, and in less than two seconds, it returned, only this time Glowing Light's body flashed with bright white lightning. Xiao Buli pointed with his hand, and the electric light on Glowing Light's body streaked across like lightning, crackling between him and the entrance of the cave. Having taken a big hit from this move just a moment ago, the Serpent Demons were not foolish. Seeing the lightning slashing towards them, those who could dodge twisted their bodies to move aside in the first instant, while those too slow in the inner circle were blasted to smithereens.

No sooner had the lightning vanished, Xiao Buli immediately commanded the python. As a pet, the Lava Giant Python was telepathically linked with Xiao Buli at this moment, acting as if they were one person, with prompt reactions. Almost chasing the tail of the lightning, the giant python swiftly arrived at the edge of the large pit.

This action, however, provoked an unprecedented resistance from the horde of snakes. A painful shriek came from the Serpent Demons, a wail as pitiful as that of a child who had just had a beloved toy taken away, piercing the eardrums.

Next, with a speed they had never shown before, they converged on the path ahead of the giant python. Claws and a rain of poisonous arrows fell upon the python's body, and some crazed Serpent Demons even used their sharp claws to start climbing onto the python.

But unfortunately for them, the Lava Giant Python had the Passive Skill Lesser Dragon Blood, which negated most of the damage from toxins and acids. The occasional poison arrow that landed on it merely trickled a few health points, trivial against the python's tens of thousands. The climbing Serpent Demons weren't even taken seriously by the python, whose scales, when they slid against each other, generated enough force to shake them off to the ground. Yet, like mad, the fallen Serpent Demons would immediately leap up and reengage in an even fiercer battle.

Xiao Buli stood on the head of the python, looking down at the Serpent Demons struggling below as if they were mere ants, feeling a surge of excitement flash through his mind. He knew it was the python's excitement he was feeling—as it seemed the python too was quite interested in what laid inside the pit.

The Giant Python opened its massive jaws and hissed in enthralment, its movements hastening underneath, clearly very eager for whatever lay in that pit. For some reason, Xiao Buli suddenly felt that this might very well be the Demon Star that Jingci had told him about. If he remembered correctly, Jingci had mentioned that within the Barbaric Wastelands, there was a Barbarian Ancient Country where a Demon Star had fallen long ago, turning the land teeming with monsters, oppressed by Demon Beasts, and leading to the civilization's extinction. If his bold guess was correct, then what lay within this pit could be a part of that very Demon Star.

With his heart racing at the thought, he remembered how Jingci had transformed Maoqiu beyond recognition with just a Demon Star Fragment, changing both its appearance and combat ability drastically. If what he was about to approach was indeed the main body of the Demon Star, could the effect not be terrifyingly potent? This would certainly suit the savage Lava Giant Python, his ferocious pet. With this thought, he jumped down from the python's head and pointed towards the pit. The python, no longer hesitating, plunged right in.

However, it was clear that Xiao Buli wasn't the only one coveting the Demon Star. Before his arrival, these Serpent Demons had seemingly been in the dark presence of the Demon Star for quite some time. Although he did not know if they had always been like this, it was obvious that the Demon Star was of immense importance to them.

The surviving Serpent Demons moved with lightning speed, all of them rushing back in mass. Just a moment ago, those around the pit were trying to fend off Xiao Buli, but now even more Serpent Demons returned to the defense, making the Giant Python's movements seem somewhat sluggish.

But Xiao Buli was no longer a novice, and his means for slaying enemies were not weak. He pulled out the Obsidian Crystal Coffin from his pack and channeled True Qi into it. As pure white True Qi was infused, it became distinctly visible within the coffin. The True Qi coursed within, causing the crystal coffin to emit unstable tremors. Eventually, the white glow vanished, leaving the coffin in Xiao Buli's hands darker, as if it could absorb the surrounding light. He gave the coffin a shove, and it fell with a thud, trembling as it transformed into something as massive as a real coffin, standing two to three meters tall, emanating a ghastly air of death at the edge of the pit.

"Open," Xiao Buli shouted.

With a snap, the lid of the coffin burst open. Swirls of dark, cotton-like mist poured from within, too thick and nebulous for anyone to see what lay behind them, darkness as if leading to hell itself. Suddenly, a black Corpse Evil with sharp claws like hooks emerged from the darkness, its figure first indistinct, then gradually solidifying, its fur gleaming with a dark glow, its half-face seeming to be made of twisted tree roots, expressionless yet terrifying. Where its eyes should be, there was only a pair of black pupils, clearly void of any autonomy.

This dark Corpse Evil was one of the types of Zombies and a product of the Obsidian Crystal Coffin. Once activated by True Qi, the coffin would generate a zombie every ten seconds, with these zombies directed by the owner of the coffin and significantly stronger in combat than the Talisman Soldiers Xiao Buli had summoned before. Since refining the coffin, this was the first chance for Xiao Buli to use it. Though unsure of its full potency, he found the sheer coolness of its appearance enough.
