Chapter 446: Chapter 18: Aggrieved Death
Dragon Slash was bitten by the Stone Axe Tribesman Si Si, making it nearly impossible for Su Xiao to retract his blade.
Moreover, don’t forget, besides the Stone Axe Tribesman, there were six other tribesmen with wooden spears surrounding Su Xiao. These Wooden Spear Tribesmen didn’t abide by any knightly spirit; they believed in overwhelming with numbers.
The Stone Axe Tribesman bit onto Dragon Slash, and six wooden spears thrust toward Su Xiao.
Su Xiao kicked the Stone Axe Tribesman’s jaw with a crisp crack, deforming it.
Just as he withdrew Dragon Slash, a sharp pain shot from his chest and thigh, as two wooden spears pierced through his body.
Who knows what material these tribesmen used to make their spears? After polishing, they turned out sharper than metal.
Thud, thud, thud.
Another three wooden spears pierced through Su Xiao’s body, with only one of the six tribesmen missing.
In battle, injuries are inevitable, especially when Su Xiao was being besieged.
After stabbing Su Xiao, five tribesmen immediately lifted him off the ground. If both feet left the ground, Su Xiao was sure to die.
In this moment of peril, Su Xiao’s expression remained unchanged as he focused his gaze on the two tribesmen to his left.
A brilliant blade light slashed through the night sky, with Su Xiao beheading one tribesman and slicing another across the chest.
The decapitated tribesman fell to the ground, while the other seemed unharmed, persistently lifting with his wooden spear.
Blood flowed along the wooden spear, pain engulfing Su Xiao’s nervous system.
Ignoring the pain throughout his body, Su Xiao unfurled the Boundary Line, tightly ensnaring one tribesman.
Though his wounds enlarged, they only managed to lift Su Xiao about a dozen centimeters high.
Clutching Dragon Slash with both hands, Su Xiao swung his blade, severing a wooden spear, the one piercing his abdomen that was exerting the greatest lifting force.
The five surviving tribesmen began retreating, with one entangled by the Boundary Line, unable to retreat far.
Looking at the surrounding tribesmen, Su Xiao smiled. He wasn’t dead, which meant the enemy was.
Dragon Slash thrust forward, the blade cutting through, directly penetrating a tribesman’s brain.
At the same time, a bomb dropped from Su Xiao’s sleeve.
Boom.
Though the bomb exploded, it didn’t produce an impact but rather a burst of blinding light; it was a flash bomb.
At night, a flash bomb was like a mini-sun. Several tribesmen were blinded by the white glare, tears streaming uncontrollably.
Thud, thud.
Within the intense light came the sound of slicing through flesh, as Su Xiao slaughtered two tribesmen, severing all the wooden spears on his body.
With both feet on the ground, Su Xiao was about to break out of the encirclement when a numbness spread from his neck.
Three tribesmen with combat ability remained, two wielding broken spears, and an elder standing at a distance.
This attack was launched by the elder tribesman, who excelled at long-range combat with his weapon, the blowgun.
Su Xiao stepped back, the numbness spreading rapidly from his neck to half of his body.
Reaching for his neck, he found a thin wooden spike shallowly piercing his skin, likely a plant thorn, with animal feathers tied at the end.
[You are suffering from ’Arrow Poison Frog Neural Toxin’ erosion, the abnormal state resistance check is underway, stamina attribute check is underway.]
[Stamina attribute check passed.]
[Abnormal state resistance check failed!]
[You suffer 10 true damage per second, effect lasting for 50 seconds.]
[Your nervous system is 7% paralyzed, effect lasting for five minutes.]
The Blowgun Tribesman hadn’t engaged in combat, indifferent to the deaths of other tribesmen. It was waiting for the opportunity to surely hit its enemy.
Su Xiao’s body was half-numb, his movements no longer agile.
Three tribesmen remained; two were unarmed, and the third, appearing to be the chieftain based on its attire, was the most dangerous.
"Tuma Sasa (unknown language)."
The Blowgun Tribesman waved its hand, and two tribesmen with broken spears began to approach Su Xiao.
Facing an entire tribe alone was challenging. If not for the lack of food and water, Su Xiao wouldn’t have fought these tribesmen.
This was a battle for survival. The Trial World was this cruel: either choose to die or to seize others’ survival resources.
Though the ’Arrow Poison Frog Toxin’ was a problem, Su Xiao could handle it; he just needed time.
Everything that invades his body, whether it be energy or toxin, the Blue Steel Shadow energy would find a way to drive these ’foreigners’ out.
Su Xiao’s mana value fused into his blood and body, and so did the Blue Steel Shadow Energy.
Unfortunately, the Arrow Poison Frog toxin wasn’t energy, so the Blue Steel Shadow Energy couldn’t deal with it promptly, though it could be dispelled with time.
Su Xiao swiftly converted his mana value into Blue Steel Shadow Energy, and a few seconds later, sensation returned to his legs.
The return of feeling in his legs was undoubtedly good news. Though the left side of his body still lacked sensation, making his steps awkward, he now had the capacity to fight.
The two tribesmen charged in, while the Blowgun Tribesman in the rear took aim at Su Xiao with its blowgun.
This left Su Xiao uncomfortable; with threats from afar, he couldn’t fight comfortably.
Just as the two tribesmen closed in on Su Xiao, a roar was heard from afar.
The two tribesmen immediately turned their heads. It was their chieftain’s roar; the Blowgun Tribesman was furious, having been ambushed by Bubu Wang.
Bubu Wang’s stealth abilities were undeniable, as it sneaked up behind the Blowgun Tribesman, biting its butt.
This bite was crucial, giving Su Xiao the chance to deal with the two Wooden Spear Tribesmen.
The opportunity was fleeting, and Su Xiao charged at the two Wooden Spear Tribesmen.
A brutal melee ensued, with Su Xiao’s body half-numb and his blade movements awkward, while the two Wooden Spear Tribesmen’s weapons were previously shattered by him, posing much less threat.
Three minutes later, the two Wooden Spear Tribesmen lay on the ground. Su Xiao was also in bad shape, with a bruise on his cheek, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
The fight on Su Xiao’s side was over, but on Bubu Wang’s side, the battle was still intense.
Bubu Wang bit down on the Blowgun Tribesman’s butt, curling its body into a ball, cleverly covering its eyes with its furry front paws.
The Blowgun Tribesman was in despair, punching and kicking, but the dog wouldn’t let go. It even attempted to stab Bubu Wang with the Arrow Poison Frog blowgun, but it had no effect.
Bubu Wang’s body was acquired from the Dark Purple Quality Scroll, making it a high-level creature, so the Arrow Poison Frog’s toxin to it was like a drizzle.
Bubu Wang bit the enemy’s butt, while Su Xiao attacked head-on.
The Blowgun Tribesman, though suited for long-range combat, had surprisingly high physical strength and decent close combat ability. However, with Bubu Wang hanging from its butt, it couldn’t fully utilize its close combat skills.
The Blowgun Tribesman swung Bubu Wang around during the fight with Su Xiao, creating a comical yet fiercely brutal scene.
With half of his body numb, Su Xiao couldn’t fully perform his sword technique, resorting to trading blow for blow.
Half an hour later, the Blowgun Tribesman clutched its bleeding throat, falling with unwillingness on its face, Bubu Wang still attached to its bruised and battered butt.
Bubu Wang’s mouth was excessively swollen, almost neck-thick, looking adorably silly, its gaze seeming to ask, ’Master, am I formidable or what?’
Bubu Wang was indeed formidable, not only that, it learned Su Xiao’s ruthlessness. No matter how the enemy struck it, it simply wouldn’t let go.
