Exploding Through (1)
In no time at all, Han Xing had a lightning ball and a fireball in his hands, both about the size of his head, and he set them aside.
Uninterruptedly, he waited for the skill cooldown to finish, continuously adding to it. The guild members standing beside him were amazed, but they still preferred to stay a little further away from the Guild Master’s skill.
The Celestial Worthy of Mechanical was eager to get closer for a look; he had never seen such a peculiar skill before. However, he was stopped by Han Xing.
“Fellas, stand a little further away. If it explodes, I’m afraid it will blow you guys offline.”
At this point, Han Xing couldn’t guarantee the extent of this power anymore. After all, the combination of a small lightning ball and fireball with explosive abilities was already astonishing. If the situation were to be this severe, it probably wouldn’t directly blow the map apart.
Han Xing thought this in his mind, but his hands didn’t stop for a moment. Half an hour later, the guild members watched as Han Xing continued to add small balls into the two larger orbs.
The ball on the left was a dazzling electric light, while the ball on the right was flame shooting up. One of the guild members widened his eyes and saw that the ball was almost half a meter in diameter.
“Guild Master, this… this should be enough, right?”
North Star timely reminded them that if this thing accidentally exploded on them, they would probably fart on the spot.
Han Xing easily picked up the two balls. After all, only he could use these exclusive skills.
To create an explosion by combining lightning and fireballs, timing was crucial. He had tried countless times before, but this was the first time he had managed to achieve such a massive one.
“All of you, step back.” Han Xing had Lightning Steps and could quickly leave the explosion zone, but it was absolutely tough for the other members.
After they retreated to a safe distance, the two orbs in Han Xing’s hands were released into the snake cave at the same speed.
“Lightning Steps!”
Before the two balls collided, he quickly retreated with Lightning Steps. The moment he arrived at the landing point, he saw an intense light coming from the bottom of the snake cave, so dazzling that everyone almost could not open their eyes.
Boom! Boom!!
After a heaven and earth-shattering boom, the entire snake’s den was unexpectedly blasted open, leaving a gaping hole. This sound left every player from the Mad Dragon Guild present with ringing ears. After a dizzying moment, everyone finally regained their composure.
The scene before their eyes was enough to make everyone’s jaw drop. Countless snakes, numbering in the tens of thousands, exploded into the sky, blotting out the sun. The grenades didn’t cease for a moment, rapidly firing at the swarm of snakes.
“Now! Hurry up!”
Han Xing yelled out, as Fourteen Continents and Double Stream Storm moved in unison. Within seconds, an ice bridge was constructed. Han Xing, with lightning steps, dashed ahead, his body already adorned with countless snake corpses.
Although the other players were not as fast as Han Xing, it took them only a minute to cover the distance. By the time they all reached the other side, the sticky and disgusting corpses on their bodies had all been shaken off. When Wind Flower Snow Moon arrived, they even added a shield to the female players present, so that they were not covered in snakes.
White Jade Snow Orchid looked at all the snakes in the sky with lingering fear. “Fortunately, we ran really fast. If we were a step slower, it would have been no chance.”
“Alright, let’s get to the next level!” North Star simply did not want to see this scene in front of him again. If he kept staying, he would probably have nightmares at night.
Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical was even more emotional as a kid. Fortunately, he had joined the Mad Dragon Guild. The guild master was a genius; he could even think of such a method. He blew up such a huge snake cave just like that. He was simply too bold!
When they reached the next level, the entire scene had undergone a complete transformation. The surroundings were covered in all sorts of iron chains, with no path to tread upon. It was densely packed with various steel needles, and even the walls were smeared with white goo.
Turban Qiaoqiao was trying out the method on the spot. When she saw the guild master and the others, she did not show up with a surprised face.
When the Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical saw these steel needles, he could not help but sneer. “I do have a mechanical body. Let me be the first to take the lead.”
Just as he was about to go down, he was stopped by Turban Qiaoqiao. “Don’t! Something’s wired down there!”
“What could be the issue?” The Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical had question marks swirling in his mind. Wasn’t it just a bunch of steel needles down there? Even though he said that, he still carefully examined beneath the steel needles.
He suddenly realized that there was no way beneath those steel needles at all. The black things turned out to be spiders the size of fingernails. They were completely pitch black, and if one wasn’t paying attention, one wouldn’t even notice them.
The Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical, upon realizing this, was dumbfounded and couldn’t help but complain, “What’s wrong with this company? Are they trying to create a breeding ground for snakes and strange bugs with this map?”
Taking a look around, they didn’t even know where the road was, let alone the checkpoint. Han Xing swiftly launched a tiny lightning ball from his hand.
The lightning ball instantly blasted a small pit, but the spiders immediately made up for it.
He felt a little weird, so he randomly threw a fireball right in there, only to find that as soon as the fireball went down, it went out straight away, like it couldn’t do any damage at all.
“These aren’t normal spiders?” Han Xing warned with a wary look in his eyes.
The other players of the Mad Dragon Guild were all eager to test out their skills, and the results left them in awe. These spiders were practically immune to every skill thrown at them. Even the poison formation White Jade Snow Orchid tossed in had no effect on them whatsoever. Not only did they come out unscathed, but they kept on multiplying.
How the heck were they gonna get through here now? If it was just these damn steel needles all over the place, Fourteen Continents and Double Stream Storm would handle it. But the problem was, these spiders weren’t easy to mess with.
“Guild Master, in this special area, it is unable to use the flying skill. I just stuck in the air wall several times and almost fell into these deep pits.”
Han Xing had just thought of using Lightning Steps to attempt traversal, only to find out that it wasn’t working either. It seems that the map in this scene imposes extremely high restrictions on players’ abilities. The Thunderfire skill in their hand was already immune, so it should work if they use that skill, right?
“Six-Star Sparkle.” Han Xing pondered for a while and finally used the skill. A beam of light instantly fell on the spiders that could not be driven away by skills under the steel needles. They were immediately trapped in the beam of light. They couldn’t move and could only emit ear-piercing cries.
“Cool. The rest are yours.” Han Xing heaved a sigh of relief. His mana was running dangerously low. The Six-Star Sparkle skill was completely useful, but the mana requirement was too high.
The rest of the crew finally caught on, their eyes wide open, like they couldn’t believe it.. They were wondering, how did they breeze through this challenge so effortlessly?
