The Triangular Thunder Krait saw Sun Rui approach it voluntarily, its eyes turning incredibly cold. It unleashed powerful lightning again, striking Sun Rui. Sun Rui did not dodge; his scale armor was the same as the opponent's, offering equal defense. The lightning that struck him was instantly repelled.
"Quick, now is the chance!"
Sun Rui deftly maneuvered around the Triangular Thunder Krait. Being a strength-type cultivator, he could withstand the desolate beast to the end as long as his defense was strong enough.
Sun Rui entangled himself with the Triangular Thunder Krait. His attacks were already powerful, but regrettably, the Triangular Thunder Krait's defense was even more monstrous. His strength wasn't enough to break through the opponent's scale armor, and the knife in his hand that aimed for the Triangular Thunder Krait's eyes was directly flung away.
Taking advantage of Sun Rui engaging the Triangular Thunder Krait, Guo Han aimed his arrows again at the beast's eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous arrow shadows crossed the sky, yet the Triangular Thunder Krait, extremely agile, dealt with both men with ease. It noticed that Sun Rui's defense was the same as its own and completely ignored him, concentrating fully on dealing with Guo Han, who was shooting arrows from a distance.
Its lightning targeted Guo Han, causing his face to pale dramatically. He could only escape awkwardly to the side, his arrows being completely countered, finding no suitable opportunity.
Meanwhile, the Triangular Thunder Krait swept its tail, striking Sun Rui. The powerful force immediately flung Sun Rui away.
Sun Rui crashed to the ground. Although he had the defensive capabilities of a Triangular Thunder Krait, his strength was not nearly enough to counteract the beast. The tail whip hit his chest, and though it did not break his skin, it stifled his breath.
At that moment, the tail of the Triangular Thunder Krait wrapped around Sun Rui, firmly grasping him, and then pressed his body backwards!
Snakes love to coil around their prey and then crush their bones, causing them to suffocate to death.
Sun Rui's face turned drastically pale!
No matter how strong his external defense, he was still human, with bones. If his body were crushed, he would surely die!
In a desperate moment, he quickly gave up mimicking the defense of the Triangular Thunder Krait and instead mimicked its flexibility, narrowly and dangerously freeing himself from the body of the Triangular Thunder Krait. But it struck him again.
This time he couldn't transform his defense in time, and endured a blow directly, screaming miserably as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his left hand twisted at an odd angle, clearly broken.
Guo Han hurried over, grabbed Sun Rui, and then turned and fled into the distance!
The elite students watching were all incredibly frightened by this; this was not a simulation, but the actual desolate wilderness where death was a possibility!
The situation had gone beyond their expectations!
The strength of the Triangular Thunder Krait was monstrously abnormal! None of the elite students present dared say they had the ability to face the Triangular Thunder Krait alone; most of them had been 'killed' in simulation classes, let alone gaining an advantage in this kind of real combat.
Guo Han and Sun Rui, who had practiced during the simulations, were already among the top students of this group and had extensive combat experience in the desolate wilderness. Among the students present, practically no one was stronger than them.
The awakening systems of the two were relatively formidable, but unexpectedly, they were left with no chance to retaliate when facing the Triangular Thunder Krait, merely meeting the beast had left Sun Rui severely disabled.
While Guo Han's skills were more suited to long-range attacks, his close-combat ability was very poor. Now that Sun Rui was disabled, their situation was dire!
"This is bad! They're so unlucky to encounter such a creature as the Triangular Thunder Krait!"
"Yeah! Last time during a simulation class, it was mentioned that the Triangular Thunder Krait in the South Mountain Second District of the Cultivated Domain is almost invincible among desolate beasts!"
"The worst part is there's only one Triangular Thunder Krait here! They usually appear in pairs; the other must have gone hunting and didn't come, or both of them would have been dead!"
"Now that Sun Rui is disabled, is there any difference from them being dead?"
Many students were sweating for the two men.
Today was supposed to be the entrance assessment for N-level freshmen, but unexpectedly, a freshman named Xiang Beifei got lost in the desolate wilderness, life or death unknown. Then, the two men sent to protect Xiang Beifei encountered the ferocious Triangular Thunder Krait during their search, and one of them was severely injured!
Currently, the Triangular Thunder Krait had locked onto the scent of Guo Han and Sun Rui, relentlessly pursuing them. The speed of the Triangular Thunder Krait was also very fast, not weaker than Guo Han's, and their death seemed almost certain!
Everyone turned their gazes toward Yuchi Shen; the direction of the situation had deviated significantly from its initial intention, and it was Yuchi Shen who, in an attempt to complicate Xiang Beifei's entrance assessment, had caused this situation!
Yuchi Shen's face appeared very somber.
Even now he could not remain calm. Guo Han and Sun Rui were selected students from his infernal training, rarely meeting the qualifications, and he had not expected them to be crippled by the Triangular Thunder Krait!
If something had happened to them on another desolate wilderness mission, it could only be attributed to their lack of skills, but this time it was his assigned protection mission, specifically set to trouble Xiang Beifei with an abnormal assessment!
If these three were to die in the desolate wilderness, he would definitely be held accountable by his superiors!
