"Is it still alright to quit now?" Zheng Tai suddenly said.
A group of espers swiped their glance over at him.
"I am just trying to adjust the atmosphere." Zheng Tai gave a dry cough. Under the gaze of so many world espers, the pressure was quite huge.
"It's impossible to quit now." Su Hao looked into the distance, "Our only way out is to kill everything along the path. Perhaps the Wolf King couldn't beat us due to a lack of energy."
"Huh?" Zheng Tai was stunned, "Why won't it have sufficient energy?"
Su Hao sighed and patted his shoulder, "Otherwise, how do you think there are so many wolves?"
"Huh?"
Zheng Tai was at a daze.
Liu Ping gave him a sympathetic look, "This little brother here must still be a virgin right?"
Zheng Tai: "..."
"Wow, you're right."
"Since the last time he took the college entrance exam, it had been quite long, yet I didn't expect him to not grow taller."
"However, his age did increase."
"Anyway, he's still an esper. Isn't it strange to keep his physical body of a boy?"
"Oooo."
"!!!"
Zheng Tai's forehead had blue veins exposed.
Wait, what's with this sympathetic look from everyone? Damn, wasn't everyone discussing the Wolf King? Why did it suddenly change to me? Damn you guys! This daddy being a virgin has what relation with my height?! What's the relation with this daddy's age then?!
He suddenly felt that he had the urge to kill.
"Cough, cough."
Su Hao coughed, "Let's go. It's better to find the Nine Snakes as soon as possible."
Zheng Tai gratefully looked at him. However, the result was Su Hao halted after taking a step to look back at Zheng Tai with a sigh, "Don't panic, you will have your own bread soon."
Zheng Tai: "..."
He suddenly felt that it was the wrong decision to come here.
Damn!
Tick!
A drop of water fell and the sound echoed within the empty passage. Before everyone managed to respond, the ticking water continued.
The rhythm was getting faster and faster.
Beside Zheng Tai, a world esper didn't manage to evade on time, or to be exact, he didn't have time to think of evading the incoming water droplet.
Jizzz~
Half of his body was destroyed instantly.
That one drop of water spread all over his body. As it passed, it corroded everything in its path. Whether it was flesh or bone, in just one second, a pool of water was left on the ground.
"Corpse water?!"
Everyone's face had a huge change.
Corpse Water.
Many people had heard of it before. In fact, many have used it. Although the Origin Ability Association prohibited its use on the surface, many tricky corpses had been dissolved secretly with Corpse Water. This was something under the rules. However, they would have never thought that there would be Corpse Water here.
Tick~
Tick~
More and more water dripped akin to the notes of death.
Boom!
Boom!
Each world esper activated their defensive measures. Liu Ping and the others activated their Rule Force to shield them from these water droplets.
Jizz~ Jizz~
The rumbling noises, which could be heard everywhere, were the sound of regular water dripping around the crowd. Although they didn't land on a body, the terrifying water still managed to corrode their Rule Force.
"This isn't Corpse Water." Su Hao frowned, "Corpse Water would never be this powerful."
Everyone came to a realization.
Corpse Water, as the name suggests, it is just a liquid to dispose of corpses and was never effective against living people. After all, who would be so indifferent to let Corpse Water splash on his own body? As long as one moves, this liquid can be cleared off.
Not to mention!
For an esper, just origin energy alone was already sufficient to shake off Corpse Water.
Thus, Corpse Water could only be used on corpses. Now, in front of them, this thing that was similar to the Corpse Water except that it could even kill a living world esper!
Just one drop, after touching the world esper, it spread and corroded them at an incredible speed. That world esper couldn't even react before he died. What was even more horrifying was these water droplets could corrode those at the world realm.
Jizz~ Jizz~
Such a sound could still be heard from the surrounding.
It was akin to a water droplet landing on a red hot soldering iron as it disappeared into water vapor. These water droplets corrode Rule Force at such high speed.
Tick!
Tick!
Swish!
The scattered water droplets turned into a drizzling rain.
Those who felt that they could support this were suddenly under a lot of pressure. It was currently a drizzle, but if it escalates into a downpour...
Everyone would die here!
Thinking of that man's death earlier, everyone couldn't stay calm. Since entering this Great Despair, this was the first crisis they encountered, a crisis that would wipe out the entire team.
"In a Great Despair, is such a thing normal or is this just an accident?" Liu Ping suddenly asked Su Hao.
"I have met such situations at least four times in Taihu Territory." Su Hao replied.
"Four times, then this is the normal state of a Great Despair and not the work of Nine Snakes." Liu Ping nodded and then looked at everyone, "We can't walk slowly anymore. Charge forward, but be careful of the water droplets on the ground. Always cover your body with Rule Force."
"Yes."
Without his reminder, everyone could clearly see it. There was already water accumulated on the ground, and these seemingly ordinary puddles were not something to play with. Liu Ping ordered them to sprint within the rain, and no one dared to stay behind any longer.
The rain kept getting heavier.
Jizz~ Jizz~ Jizz~ Jizz~
The light rain turned into heavy rain, and the water droplets frequently hit everyone, causing their Rule Force to be consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As for what was in front of them, it was an endless route.
"We still haven't reached the end of this channel yet?"
"I can't see..."
"At this rate, we will be killed by the rain!"
"What about Zheng Tai?"
Everyone suddenly looked at Zheng Tai because they remembered that this guy, who took the college entrance exam in the past, was just a domain esper. They were already barely able to support themselves, was that guy already dead? However, when they looked back, all of them were shocked.
Zheng Tai already vanished and could no longer be seen.
What was left behind was only a shadow.
Under Su Hao's feet, where it was supposed to only have his own shadow, now had another man's shadow that closely resembled the shape of Zheng Tai's body.
This guy...
Everyone's pupil widened.
What a terrifying talent!
This guy could actually hide in the other people's shadows? Wait, the growth of one's talent is related to personal experiences. What was this guy doing in the past few years? There was actually such a perverted origin technique... Oh, a virgin is indeed a scary creature.
The poor Zheng Tai was still clueless that he had been ridiculed.
Despite the heavy rain, they didn't think much after noticing that Zheng Tai was still alive. After all, during this critical moment, the most important thing was their own life. Right now, their vitality was gradually decreasing.
And the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
However, they still couldn't see the end.
Everyone knew that if this kept going, they would definitely die. On their first day exploring, without even managing to see the enemy, they might really get all wiped out.
"What to do now?"
Even Liu Ping was a little nervous.
He was fine.
With his strength, the consumption of these water droplets couldn't keep up with his recovery! The impact of the water droplets was too pitiful when compared to World Force. However, this was a team of their Origin Ability Association! If it only ended up with him as the commander to return alone, how would he explain himself?
"Wu Ming?"
Liu Ping looked at this young man who had experienced Taihu Territory. Everyone around also looked at him, but they were stunned when they did so. This man, who was clearly a level one world esper, was actually enduring happily within the rain.
Swish, swish~
The rain kept falling.
Su Hao opened his arms and allowed the water droplets to land on his body without causing any harm! When the water droplets landed on his body, they vanished instantly. This kind of feeling was very abrupt as if Su Hao was filling up a water bottle with them.
And yet, there was nothing in his hands.
When everyone was in a crisis, this man actually wasn't affected!
In an instant, the crowd became a little dull.
Without knowing why, they clearly knew that Wu Ming is kind-hearted, but there was still a strange feeling that this man was terrifying!
"Wu Ming?"
Liu Ping attempted to call him again.
Su Hao recovered from that state and smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I got sidetracked."
Sidetracked...
Everyone could no longer muster any strength to curse.
However, for Su Hao, he was really distracted! At the start, when these water droplets fell, he also felt a big crisis, stronger than anyone! Because they had a huge amount of Rule Force while Su Hao's Rule Force was only little.
In such a case, what could he use to defend himself?
If he is to use Rule Force to defend against the rain, he would definitely be the first one to die! Thus, after the initial panic, he quickly thought of a way to introduce the droplets into Kingdom of Heaven!
Moreover, in order to not let these water droplets erode Kingdom of Heaven, Su Hao didn't hesitate to place them in Purgatory the moment they appeared because Su Hao wasn't sure whether they could cause damage to Kingdom of Heaven. This was the most terrifying area in Su Hao's world, and the interesting thing was...
Everything remained normal.
The water droplet fell into Purgatory and seemed to have turned into ordinary water droplets.
It was plain and normal.
Su Hao wasn't sure whether it was because of the changes in the water droplets or because Purgatory was already extremely scary. However, when he threw a model into the seemingly ordinary water droplet, he already knew the answer. It wasn't because the water droplets turned ordinary, but that Purgatory was already such a place to begin with.
To be able to safely contain the water droplets, that already explained the problem itself.
However...
Great.
"Purgatory's setting, wasn't it already like this to begin with?"
Su Hao rejoiced. Within the rain, he stretched out his arms, and all the water droplets were introduced into Purgatory. He believed that soon, there would be a magical river there. However, Liu Ping's cry awakened him. When he turned back, he saw a group of dull faces.
