Beneath the ice, the great swamp billowed with thick white mist. In the distance, the vegetation, too, turned a deathly gray from the cold, shattering upon touch.
The gigantic Nvwa Snake was on its last breath, yet it had not perished. It lay with its mouth wide open, desperately hoping for so restless prey to wander out.
anwhile, Dong Ran, Akasi, Tang Xiaojiu, and Qiao Shanshan all widened their eyes, witnessing this incomprehensible scene.
Once the terrifying cataclysmic beast revealed its true form, it displayed its power to crush the Sheng Tang Squad in an instant, and its final icy breath almost turned the battle into a massacre.
But just as a greater tragedy was about to unfold, the might of the giant serpent seed to choke, and the previously heart-stopping mont lost all its flavor.
Under the gazes of Dong Ran and the others, soone appeared, wearing tattered clothes due to the acidic corrosive liquid, leaving him barely covered.
The won who had been worried about him just a second ago instantly blushed and cried out in unison, turning away.
Tang Xian erged.
He was confident that even in its dying counterattack, the giant serpent could no longer cause him any real harm.
Akasi didn't know how to express his astonishnt.
"It's great, you're alright." After thinking for a mont, that was all Akasi could say.
Tang Xiaojiu burst into tears with a loud "Wa."
Akasi noticed that Tang Xiaojiu's pupil color had returned to normal and her small tiger teeth had disappeared.
He suddenly understood what Tang Xian ant—Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Suoye were alike.
"I was rather lucky, mathematics changed my fate," said Tang Xian calmly, as if he were rely an observer.
"What thing? What does this have to do with mathematics?" Qiao Shanshan turned back, puzzled by Tang Xian's words.
"Actually, it's quite simple. During your fight with the Nvwa Snake, I estimated its actual movent speed, let's assu it's x. The Nvwa Snake's attack range, which I calculated in my third school year, is roughly one third of its body length, let's assu the body length is y.
Once within range, the Nvwa Snake's attack speed would be seven tis x. Assuming my movent speed is z, and at that ti, my distance from the Nvwa Snake was two-fifths of y. It's easy to calculate at which point the Nvwa Snake would snap its jaws shut on . I don't need quick reflexes; I just needed to control my own speed z.
When reaching the position, I would charge in the opposite direction, towards the Nvwa Snake.
This is actually simpler than a math exam in survival training; even third-year students can solve it now. The only thing I needed to be careful with was that the estimated distance from the snake and its body length couldn't have too much error compared to its actual size and distance. Practice more often, and you'll be able to do it too," he explained.
Everyone fell silent. Calculating math problems in the brink of death?
This was truly unimaginable. The two won looked at Tang Xian as if they had seen a ghost.
So much so that they had all forgotten that the poor giant serpent's weak eyes were still fixed on them.
Tang Xian approached the Nvwa Snake and said coldly,
"I truly hoped you would complete your evolution and beco a cataclysmic-level boss creature, but unfortunately, you were always just a bit short."
"However, this might be for the best. After all, if you were six tis stronger, all my squad mbers would have perished here."
"I can't hear your words, but since you have the ability to morph into a certain form, I think maybe you can understand mine."
The crowd was baffled, and Dong Ran recalled that Tang often seed to speak to creatures in the mining area after killing them, as if talking to themselves.
"You no longer have the ans to kill , you know that, right? Unless you evolve now. I can't kill two birds with one stone and fulfill two won's wishes at the sa ti—it's regrettable, but for safety's sake, I must kill you before you have the chance to evolve."
A kitchen knife could deal an extra ten percent of maximum life value as damage. Tang Xian held the knife and viciously hacked at the eye of the Nvwa Snake.
At this point, Akasi, Dong Ran, and Qiao Shanshan were all shocked watching Tang Xian.
The life value of the Nvwa Snake dropped rapidly; such terrifying attack power froze their thoughts.
Tang Xian knew his companions could see the life value of creatures—Akasi, of course, as well as Qiao Shanshan and Dong Ran.
This was a common attribute visible to the Gifted.
There was a particular scent in his breath that made Tang Xian certain the battle with the Nvwa Snake wouldn't end easily; another uninvited guest was hurrying their way.
Tang Xian planned to first reveal so power beyond their comprehension. As for an explanation, he couldn't be bothered to provide one, letting them think what they would.
As the last vestige of life left the Nvwa Snake, Tang Xian held the knife, frantically severing the snake's pupil and even attempting to thrust his entire left arm into the socket.
The scene was overly grotesque, with a mix of blood and brain matter spraying out, drenching Tang Xian's face.
Witnessing this, Dong Ran turned away, almost vomiting at the sight.
