Chapter 724: He Is Dangerous
"Considering how handsome you are, little man, I won't kill you!"
"From now on, you'll stay here to keep me company and chat. If you manage to please me, you might even have the chance to become my mate," the white-dress serpent demon said with a soft laugh, her gaze fixed on Ling Zhan.
However, Ling Zhan remained seated on the rock, staring at the sky in silence, completely ignoring her words.
He had just used his Appraisal Eye.
[Monster: Frost Python.]
[Level: 150.]
[Gender: Female.]
[Age: 172.]
[Profession: None.]
[Attributes: Strength 2,500,000; Intelligence 2,000,000; Constitution 2,400,000; Agility 3,000,000.]
[Talent: King's Command (S).]
[Skills: Frost Bite (S), Savage Charge (A), Frost Constriction (S)...]
...…
Its strength was slightly inferior to that of the Crystal Python King.
Ling Zhan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it.
His plan was simple: let the others fight it out, then clean up afterward and claim the Holy Snow Celestial Lotuses for himself.
Seeing Ling Zhan still ignoring her, the serpent demon's interest only grew.
She hadn't expected this little man to be so aloof.
But no matter...
She liked cold, unapproachable men!
It would be so satisfying to bind him and make him kneel before her, breaking his icy demeanor!
Turning her gaze back to the group of Professionals before her, the serpent demon noticed the loud-mouthed man cursing under his breath while rallying the others.
Support classes were placed in the rear for protection.
Frontline classes moved to the front, assuming defensive stances.
Offensive classes prepared to attack at any moment.
It seemed that those bold enough to enter the Radiant Secret Realm had some degree of skill. Despite never working together, they understood their roles well.
Watching the Professionals assume battle stances, the serpent demon let out a cold snort and clapped her hands lightly.
Clap! Clap!
The crisp sound of her claps echoed...
Rumble!
The frozen lake suddenly roared to life with noise!
The loud-mouthed man's face turned pale as he saw creatures emerging from beneath the icy surface.
Crab monsters, lobster monsters, fish monsters, snake monsters...
All were level 120-130 monsters!
They gathered behind the white-dress serpent demon, glaring menacingly at the Professionals.
It was clear that they regarded the serpent demon as their queen.
The Professionals' expressions grew even grimmer.
Ling Zhan, finally snapping out of his daze, glanced at the serpent demon with mild surprise.
She seemed to have complete control over the lake, with every monster beneath its surface under her command.
If the group had only faced the Frost Python alone, they might have stood a chance. Numbers could slowly wear it down despite its level-150 strength.
But now, with her summoning her underlings—numbering in the thousands—the situation had taken a dire turn.
Some of the creatures were even level 139, just a step away from level 140.
This...
This was a massive disadvantage for the Professionals, a truly losing battle.
Escape was impossible, and victory seemed equally unlikely.
Yet even in this dire situation, Ling Zhan chose to remain a bystander, showing no intention of intervening.
What a joke!
He wasn't some benevolent savior!
Traveling the world, the one thing to avoid was having a savior complex.
It was often the quickest path to death.
Without hesitation,
the white-dress serpent demon, eager to bring Ling Zhan back with her, commanded her minions to attack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The water monsters charged fearlessly toward the Professionals at her command.
"Fight!!"
The loud-mouthed man roared, gripping his weapon and shield as he took the front line.
To his credit, the loud-mouthed man was shrewd.
His earlier ploy had sacrificed the assassin to the serpent demon.
Now, aware of the group's distrust, he knew he had to prove himself by holding the front line.
As a frontline class, he raised his shield in full defense, gritting his teeth to withstand the monsters' ferocious assaults.
Seeing the loud-mouthed man take the brunt of the attack, the others let go of their doubts and joined the fray.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The frozen lake turned into a battlefield.
Countless magic spells bombarded the water monsters, eliciting anguished howls from the creatures.
Yet the frontliners struggled to hold their ground.
The battle quickly reached a fever pitch.
The white-dress serpent demon showed no remorse for her dying minions. Her slit pupils locked onto Ling Zhan, and with a sly smile, she floated gracefully toward him.
She was about to sit beside him when suddenly...
Danger!
An intense warning of imminent danger flashed through her mind, sending chills down her spine.
Her scalp tingled, and she froze in place.
Glancing up sharply, she met the icy, piercing gaze of the young man.
For a moment, it felt as if an invisible hand clutched her heart, making it nearly impossible to breathe!
In her mind, a single word flashed: "Death."
Panicking, she leaped back several steps, putting a considerable distance between herself and Ling Zhan.
She stared at him with lingering fear, her previous casual demeanor completely gone.
In that fleeting moment,
she had felt a divine-like pressure crash onto her, suffocating her chest.
Her blood seemed to freeze, and her heart felt as though it was being squeezed.
That sensation...
It was the ominous premonition of death.
This young man...
He wasn't ordinary.
Realizing this, she abandoned any thoughts of toying with him.
Her instincts told her one thing:
This man was dangerous.
Extremely dangerous!
She even felt that if she became his enemy, she might be the one to die.
Ling Zhan, noticing the serpent demon's wary expression, remained calm and indifferent. He spoke softly:
"Don't worry. I'm only interested in the Holy Snow Celestial Lotuses, not your life."
"As long as you don't provoke me, I won't waste my time on you."
The serpent demon hesitated but eventually asked, "But I've killed humans. Don't you think I deserve to die for that?"
