But no sooner had the mongoose finished speaking than it was caught in Wang Luo's other dragon claw.
"Since you want to die quickly, this Divine Son will grant your wish!"
With that, the venom seeped out from his body again.
But at this very moment,
Lightning flashed on the dragon claw, and a terrifying force struck, causing the mongoose immense pain all over its body, as if it were about to explode!
"Kid, if that's the case, then we'll bid farewell for now. This Divine Son will personally come to collect your corpse after some time!"
The mongoose laughed wildly, preparing to use some means to escape. Otherwise, it would truly be crushed by this creature that resembled a Qīnglóng.
But at this very moment,
The mongoose found its movements and even its consciousness slowing down significantly, as if time had been stretched.
Even as it tried to act, it felt its movements and thoughts become extremely sluggish.
This was the difference between spatial and temporal abilities.
If it were spatial confinement, consciousness would not be affected. But with temporal deceleration, even consciousness would be affected.
Just like the 'Time Dilation' special ability Wang Luo was now using, the mongoose's consciousness and thoughts began to slow.
This was precisely why temporal abilities were so formidable!
"Do you think you can escape?"
Wang Luo spoke coldly.
The next instant,
The dragon claw exerted immense force, crushing the mongoose, which possessed a divine phantom, into pieces.
He dared not delay, fearing his dragon claw would lose control again!
The giant python, tens of meters long, exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist, leaving only a pair of eyes filled with terror floating in the air!
Blood splattered in the air, dripping onto the ground.
Wang Luo looked at his dragon claws, which were already stained deep green and beginning to spread towards his body.
"This thing..."
Wang Luo frowned.
It seemed he truly had no way to deal with it.
His A-class healing spell could not cure this toxin at all.
"Also, what did that guy mean by 'origin'?"
Returning to the city wall,
Wang Luo dispersed his Qīnglóng form and reverted to his human body.
Everyone saw his hands, which had already turned green.
"Quick, get the Wood element awakened ones over here!"
Zhao Qingxuan said anxiously.
"It's no use. Even an SSS-class healing spell probably can't cure this toxin!"
Wang Luo shook his head.
If it could infect his Qīnglóng body, what could others do?
"Then what do we do?"
Yang Shu's voice was choked with tears.
His hands were already beginning to rot, and poisonous fluid mixed with blood dripped continuously onto the ground, emitting a disgusting odor.
Many people gathered around.
Although they were worried, they were also helpless.
There wasn't a single SSS-class Wood element awakened person in the base. Even if there were, it might not be enough to cure this kind of poison.
"I'm going into seclusion. I'll see if I can figure something out!"
Wang Luo said softly.
Without returning to his villa,
Wang Luo found a house by the city wall, sat down inside, and then transformed into his half-dragon form. In this state, the spread of the toxin seemed to be slightly slower.
At the crater,
The zombies let out angry roars.
[Useless! A dignified demigod, a son of a god, yet couldn't even kill a mere human! What a disgrace!]
A group of zombies cursed furiously.
They had placed so much hope in the mongoose, gathered their armies, and what was the result?
They waited for nothing!
[What do we do now?] a zombie asked.
Their clan's demigod experts couldn't descend anytime soon, and with their current strength, they couldn't break through the human base.
[We couldn't even eliminate these humans with years of attrition. It seems using that method is basically useless. Sending more troops won't help either. The best course of action now is to wait, wait for our clan's demigod experts to descend!]
[Shouldn't we try to lure other异兽 over?] another zombie asked.
[No need. Some good things have appeared in the mist. Those 异兽 won't go out of their way to come here, and they're probably busy digesting those treasures. Who has the time to come here!]
Ultimately, the zombies did not continue their attack.
Instead, they chose to wait for the right moment!
In the base,
Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu stayed by Wang Luo's side almost every day. Even for legendary powerhouses, the ordeal had taken a toll on them, making them look gaunt.
Fortunately, the venom stopped spreading when it reached his shoulders, not advancing further.
It was as if something had blocked it!
This also brought them some relief.
However, the situation was still far from optimistic. His arms were bleeding everywhere, and strands of green poisonous gas kept seeping out, looking extremely disgusting.
The prolonged resistance had also made Wang Luo significantly thinner!
Yang Shu and the others had also tried many methods.
While Wang Luo was fighting the poison, they had Wood element awakened individuals use healing spells, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Even Yang Shu had used her Light element essence special ability, but it yielded no results.
Now, they could only wait.
The atmosphere in the base was rather oppressive. Everyone prayed for Wang Luo's recovery and for the appearance of no more Divine Sons or demigods.
Otherwise, they truly wouldn't be able to hold on!
A single divine phantom was enough to leave them with no power to resist.
"Argh! Why can't I comprehend a fragment of the law yet!"
Dian Meng roared like a wild beast.
It had been one or two years, yet there was no sign of any laws.
"Why the rush? Didn't that black-scaled giant python say it? Comprehending laws is a long process. Some people might not be able to comprehend them until they die of old age!"
Yue Bai said calmly.
"How can I not be anxious? Wang Luo is poisoned, and the base is in constant fear without a demigod guarding it!"
Dian Meng touched his bald head.
Recently, the zombies had retreated to the crater, so he couldn't even fight to his heart's content!
Yue Bai sighed.
Indeed, just as Dian Meng said,
Without a powerful being to anchor the base, everyone felt a sense of unease.
This was the so-called 'backbone'!
After some time,
Yang Shu, who was sitting beside Wang Luo, suddenly heard a sound. She saw two branches growing from Wang Luo's shoulder blades!
"What is this?"
Before Yang Shu could be surprised, the two branches grew out from his shoulder blades like straws and then plunged into his two rotted arms.
At this moment,
Yang Shu clearly saw streams of strange green energy flowing along the two branches towards Wang Luo's back.
She hurriedly checked, only to find that Wang Luo's back showed no signs of being infected by the virus.
"What exactly is happening?"
And just then,
Green light suddenly erupted from Wang Luo's arms, and then the rotten wounds on his arms from the severe poison began to heal gradually.
"Did Wang Luo figure out a way to treat this severe poison?"
Yang Shu was excited and quickly called Zhao Qingxuan over.
Indeed, shortly after,
Both of Wang Luo's arms were restored to their original state, leaving no trace behind.
What puzzled the two women even more was that his body, which had become gaunt from resisting the poison, had surprisingly returned to its normal state!
