Chapter 451: Chapter 313: Have you heard of Clarence?_2
Luo Noli’s body exploded in the next second, bursting like fireworks.
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, filling the crater, creating a scene of blood and carnage.
Members of the Ancient Readers team shouted one after another, some unable to hide their grief, even falling to their knees on the spot.
“Captain Luo Noli knew he was going to turn into a contaminated creature and took the ‘Candle Blue Potion’ to end his life. He didn’t want to become a monster, and he didn’t want to hold us back…”
One of the team members sobbed silently.
There was another reason they found hard to accept, the blue Poison Blast Potion that the captain was most proud of, originally intended to be used against the Spade Knight, was now used on himself.
“We need to retreat!”
Someone began to shout.
Supporting their comrades who had lost the will to fight due to grief, they prepared to leave the Spirit World, but the next second, they fell into despair as they discovered the space around them had already been disturbed by the giant Three-Headed Serpent “Lena Gana,” cutting off their own escape route.
Members of the Ancient Readers team smiled bitterly.
Turning around, they saw the assassins of the Murder Club rushing at them once again…
The team captain of the Ancient Readers, Luo Noli, lost control and ended his life. The morale of the remaining members plummeted, and with the Spade Knight holding back the giant serpent, they fell like wheat before the storm, collapsing and dying one by one.
This pursuit ended in the total annihilation and failure of the squad.
And the assassins of the Murder Club, after wiping out the Ancient Readers team, did not leave but instead looked with confusion at the ongoing combat between the man and the beast.
“Why isn’t Mr. Qiaoke killing that supernatural giant beast… Is he playing with it?”
“I don’t know… It looks like that three-headed serpent is not weak, and its abilities are a bit strange. Even if we all attacked together, we would need some time to defeat it. Maybe Mr. Qiaoke is excited about the hunt, testing the limits of those abilities.”
The assassins discussed outside the battlefield.
Further away, most players hadn’t left and were still watching the battle with interest.
Watching a spectacle is a habit humans find hard to break.
Only the players of the Lost Name Guild and the other ordinary members of the History and Ritual Association took advantage of the chaos to slip away meanly.
The live stream was shut down at the moment of the Ancient Readers team’s total defeat. The Lost Name Guild’s mission this time was a complete failure, and their so-called fame didn’t rise; instead, it became a joke among players.
Chen Lun paid no attention to others; at this moment, he was concentrating on trying to capture the supernatural creature traits of this beast named “Lena Gana.”
[You have used the skill “Animal Mimicry LVMAX+5”!]
[You have learned and mimicked the trait “Spirit Breath” from the ancient supernatural creature “Lena Gana”!]
Chen Lun learned through the panel description that “Spirit Breath” was the ability the Three-Headed Serpent used to disturb space, manifesting as exhaling blue flames that scorched space.
This flame had no actual temperature and did not affect living beings.
‘So its tail also has breathing organs? And this supernatural creature trait can connect to the Spirit World, breathing the air of the Spirit World, even in a vacuum… A very powerful trait, I’ll take it!’
Chen Lun hovered in mid-air, retracting the hand that had touched the Three-Headed Serpent.
He saved “Spirit Breath” and eliminated “Variegated Wings.”
It seemed his action had enraged the giant beast. It thrashed its three heads, biting towards him.
“If you don’t behave, you’ll get a spanking! Stand still for me!”
Chen Lun swung his great sword, and with a swoosh, he directly decapitated two of the giant serpent’s heads.
The remaining head of Lena Gana screamed in anguish, its body trembling.
But Chen Lun was shocked to find that the two fallen snake heads had actually split into two couch-sized “miniature monster snakes” and were still expanding, as if given enough time, they would grow back to their original size!
Chen Lun muttered to himself in surprise.
He immediately dove down and placed his hand on it again.
[You have used the skill “Animal Mimicry LVMAX+5”!]
[You have learned to mimic the feature “Splitting Resurgence” from the ancient supernatural creature “Lena Gana”!]
Chen Lun glanced at the panel prompt at lightning speed.
He found that the supernatural creature’s feature was quite different from what he had anticipated!
“Splitting Resurgence” enables the host to gain powerful regenerative abilities, where regrowing limbs is just the basics—it can also split the flesh and blood that separates from the host into another mindless entity, with a powerful explosive effect.
Chen Lun suddenly realized that Lena Gana, having lost two heads, had already grown new ones, while the “miniature monster snakes” that had split off were leaping up and charging at him.
The snake body, laden with strong toxins, suddenly burst apart, the shockwave blasting Chen Lun away.
The rich poisonous blood and flesh splatter clung to the rust-spotted Armor, hissing and emitting green smoke. Fortunately, the Balag Armor was tough enough, and Chen Lun’s own Toxin Resistance was also extremely high, so he sustained no injury.
‘So that’s how it is…’
Chen Lun instantly understood.
‘Then can’t I use Magic Body Separation to split off mobile toxic bombs at will? No, wait… I also have Blood of Decay, so they should be called Corruption Bombs! And since the split entities look exactly like me, they’re deceiving!’
His gaze towards Lena Gana grew even more fervent.
‘The History and Ritual Association knows me too well! They really brought me such a wonderful gift!’
After a moment’s thought, Chen Lun decided to keep “Splitting Resurgence” and replaced “Molting.” Although both features were for healing wounds, this supernatural creature’s trait was clearly more valuable, especially since he already had the Wake of Insects bookmark and wasn’t lacking in continuous fighting ability.
What he wanted was that splitting effect!
Chen Lun subjected Lena Gana to a series of tests.
Although this ancient supernatural creature was powerful, it was merely a plaything in front of him.
In the end, Chen Lun mimicked and learned six different supernatural creature features from it!
However, of those, only one was valuable enough to catch his eye.
It was called “Subterranean Incarnation,” not only allowing one’s body to twist nimbly like a serpent but also to grow bigger or smaller, with the change limited to no more than double the original size of one’s body.
Meaning, Chen Lun could instantly go from a six-foot tall man to a towering twelve feet or shrink to a minuscule three feet.
‘An interesting trait…’
Chen Lun kept it and replaced the original “Serpentine Incarnation.”
And after being tormented over and over, the three-headed giant serpent Lena Gana seemed to have exhausted its strength and eventually turned into a dim projection, vanishing from the world.
