Chapter 316: Blood-red fireworks

The scene of that rookie being beheaded came too sudden. The moment his head separated from his neck, it had disappeared as well, as though it had been swallowed by the air.

Although Shi Xiaobai was paying attention to the movement of the crowd, the rookie was in the middle of the group, and the speed at which he was beheaded was too fast. He did not manage to catch the entire process. His timely glance only allowed him to see the rookies neck tear apart from the middle, while blood spewed out like a fountain.

The scene was bloody and terrifying, but it was even weirder.

However, Shi Xiaobai had instantly forced himself to calm down. His strong state of mind allowed him to remain calm as he observed the blood spewing wound while facing the bloody scene.

Life was fragile, it was as though a gentle wind could break it.

However, life was also tough. Even when beheaded, ones mind was able to remain active for a second or two.

The rookie struggled instinctively before his death, buying a second or two for Shi Xiaobai.

This one or two seconds were very precious and Shi Xiaobai did not waste any of it. He stared intently at the half of the bloody neck. Before the corpse collapsed to the ground, he discovered a very critical piece of information.

Shi Xiaobais eyes were very good, so when he focused from afar, he discovered that the broken neck seemed like a neat, clean cut, but through the spewing blood, he could see a tiny row of holes.

The rookies head was not cut, pulled or twisted off, butbitten off!

A cold beam flashed in Shi Xiaobais eyes as the fiery voice constantly repeated in his head.

Make your choice, youth!

Shi Xiaobai chose choice one without any hesitationsave all rookies in Dragon Mountain Valley.

Shi Xiaobai looked up and surveyed the air above the mountain valley. Shi Xiaobai had judged from the rookies wound that his head had been bitten off. That meant the disappearing head must have been swallowed into the belly of an invisible monster.

However, the sky was clear. There was not the slightest oddity. There was not even a gentle breeze blowing through the valley.

Shi Xiaobai found his senses rather keen, with his sixth sense particularly empowering. However, he could not sense any indications of other lives.

If there were truly a monster which had bitten off the rookies head and swallowed it, that meant the monster was not only invisible, its aura, breathing and killing intent could be hidden. Its sounds could even be extinguished. If not, when the rookies head was being bitten off, there should have been a sound, but there was none.

What sort of monster could conceal itself in such an impossible manner?

Could it be that the rookies head was not bitten off?

Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment. He said to the rookies that were discussing how gloomy the valley was, Since the dragon is not in the valley, why dont we leave this place. This King also finds this place somewhat odd. Something bad might happen if we stay here any longer.

Shi Xiaobai repeated what he had said previously ad verbatim. He had even deliberately mimicked his tone.

The rookies agreed and began planning to leave the valley.

Shi Xiaobai warned them, Everyone, do not split apart. Pay attention to protecting each other.

Just like before, the rookies did not put his words to heart as they walked towards the valley exit in scattered groups.

Ka Xiaozis concerned voice was heard once again, and Shi Xiaobai gave her the same answer.

There was no difference from what had happened, as though it was a repeat of everything.

And the rookie who had suffered decapitation was about to walk to the spot of his death. Shi Xiaobai had remembered the location in those valuable one or two seconds.

As the rookie was walking, he was talking and laughing with the girl beside him. He looked rather relaxed.

Shi Xiaobai did his best to control his emotions. He tried not to turn his gaze above the rookies head as he hid the anger and killing intent in his heart, as though he was a killer lurking in the shadows, waiting for a prey to appear.

Three!

Two!

A black beam suddenly bloomed in Shi Xiaobais right hand as a black sword appeared.

One!

Shi Xiaobai thundered angrily as he slashed at the rookies head. Anger that exuded from the golden sword beam tore through the sky!

If an invisible monster had truly eaten the rookies head, that meant that the moment the rookies head was severed, the monsters head would appear above the rookie!

Shi Xiaobais only chance was to grasp that fleeting moment!

And this strike was timed perfectly!

Roar!

A roar winced with pain resounded in the sky above the valley. When the golden sword beam flew to the spot above the rookies head, it had indeed struck something invisible. The sword beam shattered and at the same time, bright red blood burst out of the sky like a lotus bloom.

The rookie and the girl beside him were drenched in the blood as they immediately gave panicked screams.

The rookies turned their heads.

Shi Xiaobai roared, Quickly conjure your psionic barrier and defend. There are invisible monsters in the valley. Protect yourselves well!

The crowd jumped in fright, but their reactions were not slow. They hurriedly conjured their psionic barriers.

They looked up into the sky and saw nothing in mid-air, but there was blood constantly dropping.

The monster only issued a cry after it was injured but it no longer made a sound after that. However, there was no way to hide the wound caused by the sword strike. Blood was constantly dripping.

The location where the blood dripped changed positions with every drip. Its trajectory was haphazard in the air, as though the invisible monster was moving in mid-air while rolling about in air due to the pain.

The crowd could even imagine the picture of the monster flying around disorderly. However, other than the constantly dripping blood, they could not see a thing.

What was most terrifying that although the monster was moving so violently, it did not make a sound. Despite moving so fast, it did not stir up even the slightest breeze.

If not for the wound or the dripping blood, they would not be able to see, hear or even sense the existence of the monster.

Heavens, what monster is this?

What should we do? It doesnt seem like invisibility is the only attribute the monster has.

How terrifying. No wonder I kept feeling an eeriness in this valley.

Just now, the monster had flown above my head. If not for Shi Xiaobais strike, what would have happened? Would that monstermess up my hair style?

What do we do now? Kill it?

Quickly kill it. Once the blood in its wound clots up, we would not be able to see it any further!

The rookies sounded out and felt somewhat nervous. There were already people suggesting to kill the monster.

At this moment, Shi Xiaobai had struck once again.

The rookies did not know what terrifying event would have happened if not for Shi Xiaobais timely strike; therefore, they only panicked slightly but were not overly apprehensive. But for Shi Xiaobai, he could not forget the scene of that rookie having his head swallowed.

A bloody death had previously appeared in front of his eyes as a cruel form of reality.

Shi Xiaobai had to force himself to repress his grief and anger. In that previous second, he had calmly observed the wound on the rookies neck. He also had to memorize the location of his death.

The more negative emotions he had to repress, the deeper they went, and the anger that brewed turned more intense!

Shi Xiaobais killing intent was roused!

Kill it!

Shi Xiaobai bellowed and charged at the invisible monster moving in mid-air. Although he still could not see the monster, the dripping blood from the wound exposed the monsters trajectory.

Shi Xiaobai slashed out!

Kun Pengs Sword of Wind, Ten Thousand Li Hurricane!

A hurricane sword beam slashed into mid-air. There was a need for a certain level of judgment as when the blood dripped, the monster would have moved away. There was no way to guess where it would go in the next second. There were six directions it could go!

Roar!

The sword hurricane struck something mid-air when a shrill roar was heard. Several blots of blood bloomed like flowers!

It hit! the rookies exclaimed.

It was not as simple as being hit. The monster had clearly been severely wounded by the strike. Although the monster was invisible, its defensive strength was extremely poor.

However, after that one strike, blood was still dripping, and it became even more frequent. The trajectory of the moving monster also became strange and unpredictable.

Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly. He had a nagging feeling that the shrill cry was somewhat odd.

At this moment, Feng Yuanlin roared, Everyone attack together and kill this monster!

After Feng Yuanlin said this, he was the first to throw his shield into the air!

The other rookies immediately reacted.

Since Shi Xiaobai had shouted kill it, what were they waiting for?

Mu Yuesheng raised her hands and shot out several bolts of lightning into the sky.

Liu Yu waved upwards as numerous charms flew into the sky!

An Mo began playing his flute, producing sonic waves into the sky.

Zhou Chuchu lashed out with her whip towards the sky!

Kevin picked up a rock from the ground and, using the Price of Might, hurled it towards the sky.

Mozzie constructed a psionic warhammer. With the burning inferno of Grilling Hammer, she shot it towards the sky!

Over forty of the other rookies began attacking as well, sending their attacks into the sky!

However, the monster moved too fast, and its trajectory was too messy. There was no way to judge where the monster was from the dripping blood. At this moment, the crowds attacks were not focused on one point, but spread out, nearly blanketing the entire sky!

Therefore, even if they failed to accurately capture the monsters motion, there was no room for the monster to escape under such wide scale attack!

Explosions boomed one after another!

The rookies pricked up their ears, waiting for the moment the scream would expose it amid the explosions.

Roar!

Very soon, the painful roar they were waiting for was heard, but it was not only one!

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Roars began to fill the sky in every position like rolling thunder. At the same time, burst s of blood began blooming in the sky, as though there were blood-red fireworks filling the sky. Blood began to rain down like a torrential flood.

Everyone was immediately left astounded.

Shi Xiaobai similarly had a drastic change of expression. He finally understood why the second scream sounded somewhat odd. It was because the cry had subtle differences from the first cry.

His two strikes had struck two different monsters.

High above the valley, there was not only one or two invisible monsters. From the dense cries and blood, the number of invisible monsters probably numbered in the hundreds, into the thousands!

At this moment of time, forlorn screams that caused ones expression to change were suddenly heard.

Everyone turned their heads and they saw a rookie in the periphery with his psionic barrier shattered. His head and four limbs were probably bitten by five invisible monsters because the next moment, he was ripped apart!

A scene more bloody than being ripped apart instantly appeared in front of everyone.

At the same time, the rookies in the periphery suffered the attacks by the invisible monsters. Their psionic barriers were instantly shattered from an unknown direction, and immediately their bodies were separated for food!

In just a second or two, the valley became hell on earth!

Damn it!

Shi Xiaobais eyes turned red at that moment. He was extremely infuriated.

Make your choice, youth!

The fiery voice figuratively splashed a basin of cold water on his mind that was about to lose all reason.

Time was wound back to the moment the Absolute Choice appeared.

The three lines of black text and the quiet world seemed to illustrate the same thing.

The second attempt at saving the rookies had failed.
