Chapter 20: This Snake is the Most Useful
Responding to Wang Chen were two faces flushed with shame.
From some of the details of this battle, Jia Wenxuan and Ran Nian Nian could see Wang Chen's strength.
If there were no accidents...
Even without using skills, this guy could absolutely crush them!
Why does he have such high strength attributes!?
That greatsword that Jia Wenxuan had to use both hands to wield, Wang Chen could easily lift with one arm!
This...
And Liu Ruofu looked at him as if she had seen a monster.
You tell me this is a Beast Master!?
Have you ever seen a Beast Master who doesn't rely on pets, but charges into a horde of monsters alone with a sword, cutting them down left and right?
"Squeak!"
Meanwhile, Little Azure Python had already emerged from Wang Chen's arms, and stood obediently to the side, happily watching its master's heroic figure, emitting a joyful cry.
"Our team lacks a front row, so from now on, I will take the front position. You should have no objections?" Wang Chen thrust the greatsword heavily into the ground.
With his immense strength, the sword was driven halfway into the ground.
The three shook their heads in unison.
Who would dare have an objection?
Even the usually defiant Jia Wenxuan was silent with chagrin.
Although arrogant, he wasn't stupid.
He knew that Wang Chen's level still overwhelmed his own.
Since that was the case, he had to swallow his pride and submit.
"You don't look like a Beast Master; you're more of a warrior than a warrior." Ran Nian Nian pouted and muttered.
After pouting, she looked at the happy, swaying Little Azure Python, and said, "No wonder you're willing to contract such a useless Little Azure Python. With your strength, it doesn't matter whether you have a pet or not..."
"Squeak!"
Upon hearing the girl call it a useless Little Azure Python, it became unhappy and angrily squeaked at her.
"What? Little guy, you're not convinced?"
Ran Nian Nian, with her lively and playful nature, was amused by the angry and adorable little creature, and playfully stretched out her hand, taunting, "Come on, little guy, if you're not convinced, I'll give you a chance. If you can pull me, I'll admit you're useful."
Liu Ruofu was about to advise her friend not to bully the cute Little Azure Python.
But in the next second...
The angry Little Azure Python extended its tail, wrapped it around Ran Nian Nian's wrist, and with a light flick, threw her backwards.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Ran Nian Nian's entire body was thrown out by Little Azure Python!
Bang!
She crashed into a tree trunk.
Liu Ruofu: ??
Jia Wenxuan: ??
What was that?
This Little Azure Python...
Just threw Ran Nian Nian!?
This...
"Ouch... it hurts!"
Ran Nian Nian cried out in pain as she got up.
She was covered in leaves, looking very disheveled.
"Squeak!" (This snake is the most useful!)
At this moment, Little Azure Python, with its adorable, fierce eyes, stared at Ran Nian Nian and squeaked angrily.
"Alright, alright! I was wrong! You are the best!"
Looking at the angry Little Azure Python, Ran Nian Nian immediately apologized.
But then she realized something and was shocked.
She was actually thrown by this Little Azure Python!
Liu Ruofu and Jia Wenxuan looked at the Little Azure Python with a mix of doubt and amazement.
Although Ran Nian Nian was a mage, she was already at level 29.
Her strength attribute might not be high, but she should easily overpower a second-tier beast!
Why was she thrown?
I must have been careless...
I should have tensed up and used more strength; this little guy shouldn't have been able to throw me.
"Let me explain, it's best not to provoke my Little Azure Python because its combat power is higher than mine."
"Of course, believe it or not."
Wang Chen said with a calm smile.
This statement left Liu Ruofu and the others with their mouths agape.
What?
Are you kidding?
This cute, harmless-looking Little Azure Python is stronger than Wang Chen, who just wiped out over twenty troll warriors in a minute?
Seeing their disbelief, Wang Chen didn't bother to explain further.
He tucked Little Azure Python back into his arms, carried the greatsword, and continued forward.
After witnessing Wang Chen's strength, Liu Ruofu and the others became completely obedient.
They followed quietly behind.
Wang Chen led the group through the damp, dark forest, and what lay ahead was an ancient, abandoned castle.
With the passage of time, countless vines and roots had covered this once magnificent castle. Moss and lichen also spread across the walls.
From within the castle came violent roars.
Wang Chen's keen ears immediately discerned that the troll monsters' lair was not in the castle, but in the underground palace beneath it.
Trolls loved dark, damp environments.
They would never build nests on the surface.
As Wang Chen had guessed.
When he reached the castle, the information panel displayed a prompt.
[You have successfully cleared the first stage of the Troll's Nest!]
[Ahead is the entrance to the second stage of the Troll's Nest. Do you want to enter?]
"Are you all ready?" Wang Chen turned to look at the three behind him.
They hurriedly nodded.
Even Jia Wenxuan, completely subdued at this point, didn't dare to look Wang Chen in the eye and only listened silently to his commands.
Of course...
He was still very competitive inside.
This was just the beginning!
When all the newbies' attributes were still low, combat skills played a significant role.
But later, at levels 50-60, let's see who would overpower whom!
If Jia Wenxuan knew that Wang Chen had never considered him a rival, he would probably have a mental breakdown.
Seeing that the three were ready, Wang Chen chose "Yes" without further ado!
Buzz!
The light gate to the next stage was activated!
With a rumble, the floor in front of them collapsed with the sand, revealing a light gate.
Wang Chen took the lead and rushed into the light gate.
Liu Ruofu and the others quickly followed; the light gate only existed for five seconds.
They had to hurry through.
Stepping into the light gate, they experienced a peculiar sense of weightlessness.
Wang Chen knew that this was the spirit of the secret realm transporting them to the trolls' underground lair.
The second stage was where the real test began!
The first stage was just a warm-up!
Wang Chen tightened his grip on the greatsword, his eyes burning with determination.
If he succeeded in clearing the stage, his level would undoubtedly surpass 30!
