Venom Valley, night.
"Crack, crack..."
Countless branches snapped as Yi Tianchen felt a pain that made him feel like his body was falling apart. Damage numbers continuously popped up, floating into the silent night sky. Yet, he couldn't help but be grateful for the dense branches, which cushioned their fall amidst the constant collisions.
His inner strength and unwillingness to give up drove Yi Tianchen to quickly down a bottle of Fourth-Level Life Potion and grasp a broken branch tightly.
At that moment, a commotion erupted outside the forest. Both Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's hearts skipped a beat; it was clear that the group outside had sensed something and was starting to rush over.
"Damn it..."
Yi Tianchen gritted his teeth, fully aware of what would happen if they were surrounded. With determination surging within him, he suddenly exerted force, snapping the branch in an instant, continuing to hold onto Liu Yuhan as they plummeted amidst the relentless impacts, embracing their deathly journey.
"Bang..."
They landed heavily on the ground, and Yi Tianchen immediately glanced at his Vitality. Although only a sliver of health remained, it evidently granted them a chance to escape death.
"Haha... I'm not dead!"
Yi Tianchen let out a long breath, finally feeling safe upon landing.
Without delay, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan got up and quickly moved away from the direction of the other players. However, Venom Valley was a dead end surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the only exit guarded by those players—there seemed to be no way out.
Before long, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan found themselves surrounded by the other players. As the encirclement tightened, they were forced to retreat to the base of a sheer cliff but were pleasantly surprised to discover a dark cave revealed two meters high in the rock face.
However, they were already too late to climb up!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Flaming arrows streaked across the dark night sky, resembling meteors entering the atmosphere, strikingly bright. Yi Tianchen's gaze darkened as he and Liu Yuhan continuously dodged while using their swords to block, slashing horizontally and vertically to fend off the first wave of danger.
Soon, more than twenty players appeared less than fifteen yards in front of them.
"Hahaha... this kid can't escape now, everyone charge!"
One player shouted. But strangely, despite the crowd's eagerness, there was no movement; it was as if they were all waiting for something.
Driven into a corner, Yi Tianchen was furious. Stepping forward, he cast a cold glance over the crowd ahead. With a swing of his weapon, the Wild Fury, a roar akin to Huang Zhong rang out in the silent and desolate Venom Valley---
"Wolf-Man-Transformation!"
As the final character was uttered, dazzling golden light erupted from Yi Tianchen's body, spreading throughout the dim Venom Valley like a divine phenomenon, instantly capturing the attention of all players.
Moments later, as the golden light gradually faded, Yi Tianchen stood tall like a titan. He swung the Wild Fury fiercely; the broad blade struck against the stone wall behind him with a thunderous crash that reverberated through the entire Venom Valley.
Turning around, Yi Tianchen's eyes glinted with ferocity as he declared coldly, "Come on! Today we will fight to the death. One kill is not a loss; two kills are a profit. Hahaha..."
Behind him, Liu Yuhan's expression turned cold as she stepped forward a few paces, clearly ready to stand together with him.
There was no denying that Yi Tianchen was prepared to fight for his life. However, to his surprise, the twenty or so players across from him stared with wide, incredulous eyes as if they had encountered something utterly terrifying. Not only did no one dare to step forward, but some even instinctively took a few steps back.
Both Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were taken aback; this situation was clearly not right. Upon closer inspection, Yi Tianchen was astonished to see that the expressions on these people's faces had shifted from shock to fear and dread.
"Uh... Is my appearance really that frightening?"
Yi Tianchen was bewildered and unconsciously reached up to touch his face. But when he looked more closely, he realized that their gazes were not fixed on him but rather on the stone wall behind him.
In an instant, a chilling premonition surged through Yi Tianchen's mind!
"Ah..." Liu Yuhan's terrified voice suddenly broke the silence.
Turning slowly, a massive black-and-white creature came into view. Looking up, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but shudder and draw in a sharp breath.
Before him stood a Monster Snake, thicker than Yi Tianchen in his Werewolf Transformation status, towering high. At the top of its black-and-white body were three enormous snake heads, each flicking out blood-red tongues over a meter long—truly terrifying!
"What the hell is this thing? Where did it come from?"
Yi Tianchen was shaken to the core as his gaze fell upon the cave in the rock wall behind the Monster Snake. Suddenly, it dawned on him why this horrifying creature had appeared here.
"Run..."
He shouted this word in desperation, grabbing Liu Yuhan and darting to the side. At that moment, an archer in front of them trembled and loosed an arrow that flew straight toward the Monster Snake, dealing a forced damage of 1 point to its Vitality.
"Hiss..."
In an instant, the Three-Headed Serpent let out a piercing and terrifying cry, locking onto the archer. One of its heads opened wide, and a stream of transparent venom shot forth.
If one were to describe it, it was like being doused with a bucket of water right on the head. However, this bucket of water was deadly.
The archer's shrill scream echoed through the silence of Venom Valley, striking fear into the hearts of all who heard it. Moments later, white smoke began to rise from the archer's body, and soon they collapsed to the ground, motionless.
A magnificent instant kill!
However, the Three-Headed Serpent did not stop there. Its body shuddered as a crimson glow erupted from it. With a flick of its tail, it swept across where the players stood, instantly killing another seven or eight.
In an instant, chaos erupted on the scene.
Yi Tianchen scrambled to his feet, having no time to pay attention to what was happening behind him. He grabbed Liu Yuhan and rushed toward the Cliff Cave Entrance. Using his tall frame, he lifted Liu Yuhan up and then jumped, quickly scaling the rocks and diving into the cave.
Outside the cave, the sudden appearance of the Three-Headed Serpent turned the entire area into a hellish nightmare. The serpent rampaged freely, with its three heads spewing venom, flames, and ice. In less than half a minute, it had wiped out over twenty players, leaving only two who managed to escape.
As Yi Tianchen watched in shock, his heart raced as if it might leap from his chest. He fought to contain his overwhelming excitement and mindlessly cast Identification Technique---

"Damn it!"
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were stunned in place.
At that moment, the battle outside the cave had ended with the deaths of numerous players. The Three-Headed Spirit Serpent turned around, its six round snake eyes glowing with a strange blood-red hue, fixating on Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan inside the cave.
Yi Tianchen was taken aback; it seemed he only now realized that entering this cave had been a grave mistake—a deadly one at that!
"Run!"
Seeing that jumping out of the cave was no longer an option, Yi Tianchen grabbed Liu Yuhan and could only run deeper into the cave. However, due to the lack of light, they couldn't see the ground beneath them. They hadn't run ten meters before suddenly stumbling into a depression, both letting out a startled cry as they fell to the ground.
At the same time, the Three-Headed Spirit Serpent's piercing and terrifying voice echoed through the cave, accompanied by a foul-smelling breath that struck against their backs—
