Not daring to slack off for even a moment, Wang Wu lunged to one side and rapidly rolled away.
He had already guessed what awaited him next.
In fact, almost simultaneously, a fireball the size of a small fist flew out from a rock crevice, landing precisely where Wang Wu had been standing.
A loud explosion, flames bursting, the wild grass on the ground was scorched away, revealing the black earth beneath.
The dancing flames covered a radius of five meters.
Wang Wu’s reaction was quick, his response timely, yet he couldn’t escape the reach of the explosion, and immediately several splashes of fire landed on him, rapidly igniting.
However, because Wang Wu was rolling, he extinguished them with his body in the next second.
Altogether, it caused him 3 points of burn damage.
Wang Wu got up, not only did he not run away, he accelerated, changing his angle and charging toward the cliff. The enemy in the rock crevice could wait leisurely, but its attacking view was completely limited, of course, assuming there were no Flame Scorpions above the cliff.
If it was yesterday, Wang Wu wouldn’t have the resolve for a head-on confrontation, but with the downpour imminent, if he didn’t reclaim this rock crevice, where would he shelter?
Quickly, Wang Wu was close to the rock face, and the rock crevice went quiet; temporarily, there were no other Flame Scorpions above.
So he began to approach slowly, with Level 3 Danger Perception constantly warning him, the closer he got, the smaller the margin of error for this talent.
As he was about to reach the entrance of the rock crevice, Wang Wu suddenly accelerated, dashing past the entrance, but he didn’t go in; he just wanted to trick the enemy inside into firing a fireball.
But his feint completed, the rock crevice remained quiet. Wow, such determination, the feint didn’t work!
Wang Wu was somewhat impressed; the tactical awareness of these Little Demons was commendable.
Well, there’s no other way, time to charge.
With a low roar, Wang Wu made a quick move, jumping to the entrance of the rock crevice, pretending to charge inside, but the next second, he rolled away like a spinning top.
Okay, still a feint; he thought he performed well, yet the Fire Scorpions inside the rock crevice remained unmoved.
With a sigh, Wang Wu climbed back, popped his head up once more, and dashed inside.
But he barely took two steps when suddenly his scalp tingled, a chill washed over him, the sense of danger unprecedented.
Yet, Wang Wu accelerated his charge forward. At this moment, he could even clearly see the two Fire Scorpion Priests, just less than two meters away, and they were rapidly forming fireballs.
It seemed he had no place to hide.
But a cold smile arose in Wang Wu’s heart.
He never planned to dodge!
He didn’t even slow down, continuing to charge forward until he was hit head-on by the two fist-sized fireballs.
Two explosions rocked the confined space; he almost had no room to dodge, nor did he make any defensive moves, truly hit solidly.
In that instant, he was stunned, knocked unconscious, the exploding flames engulfing him, once again turning into a blazing Xiong Xiong.
But that wasn’t the focus.
The focus was the blast impact radius of these fireballs, spanning five meters.
Especially since there were two fireballs.
What kind of effect would it have, exploding in a narrow space less than thirty centimeters wide?
Wang Wu couldn’t calculate it, but this was a reverse calculation he made after continuous probing!
Also a quasi-strategy that involved himself.
Because he kept his Satiety always at 300 points, because he had Level 2 Self-Healing, capable of rapid recovery of 50 Life Points within an hour after injury.
Moreover, he had experienced a similar explosion a few days ago, likewise in a cramped space, two consecutive fireballs, causing approximately 70 points of damage.
This had data backing it.
But what about those two Fire Scorpion Priests hiding in the rock crevice?
Could their small bodies withstand such terrifying explosions?
This was why Wang Wu accelerated forward knowing the fireball was about to launch.
There wasn’t anyone who knew the situation inside the rock crevice better than him.
The total length from inside to outside was no more than three meters, considering that the two Fire Scorpion Priests needed a good launching view, the outcome was obvious.
The Flame Resistance of these Fire Scorpion Priests must be maxed out, but what about the physical impact of the fireball explosions?
In fact, the impact damage was the main concern.
Take Wang Wu’s last experience: 20 points were explosion damage, 15 points were impact damage, and the burn damage was only 15 points.
So conservatively estimated, these two Fire Scorpion Priests had to endure at least 30 points, up to 70 points of flame explosion impact damage.
At this moment, Wang Wu quickly regained consciousness from the shock, his whole body still burning intensely, the pain excruciating, and his eyes unable to see clearly, either from blood or blinded by fire.
But he was still alive, which was enough.
Two pieces of information flashed silently through his mind, as he expected, the injuries were more severe this time, but because he had acquired some flame resistance, the total damage did not exceed 80 points.
And his Level 2 Healing Talent was activated, Satiety was being consumed rapidly, and his Life Value was recovering.
Rolling twice on the spot to extinguish the flames, Wang Wu used his familiarity with the terrain to move inward, easily finding one motionless Fire Scorpion Priest, then a second.
Indeed, they didn’t escape.
Without any hesitation, Wang Wu opened his mouth wide, began to devour, ah, delicious, the meat aromatic and elastic, spawning streams of heat flowing throughout his body, a comfort beyond words.
After finishing off one Fire Scorpion Priest, his previously blurred vision began to clear, followed by all sorts of good news.
First was a substantial 32 points of Spiritual Qi.
Wang Wu directly upgraded his Level 2 Healing Talent to Level 3 Self-Healing, and the effect was visibly explosive, his original Satiety immediately consumed, including the Satiety gained from devouring that Fire Scorpion Priest.
Life Value rapidly increasing before his eyes.
The greater advantage was the heat streams formed within his body after consuming the Fire Scorpion Priest.
"Because you consumed high-quality Fire Attribute food, and because you currently possess Level 3 Self-Healing Talent, your body gained a certain degree of resistance against Fire Poison; your resistance to ordinary flames increased by one point, currently 2/10."
"Your Growth increased by 0.5%, currently totaling 15.2%!"
Wang Wu wanted to laugh heartily, and just then, outside, a thunderclap suddenly roared through the sky, a gust of wind swept the earth, followed by pouring rain.
But staring at the white curtain of rain outside, Wang Wu seemed to have thought of something, immediately began searching the crevices of the rock and indeed found five corpses of Scorpion Sentinels, maybe some had escaped alive, but surely long gone. Get full chapters from noveⅼfire.net
So these Flame Scorpions weren’t lying in ambush here, but had burrowed into the rock crevice to avoid the rain?
They really didn’t die unjustly!
