Chapter 776: Chapter 18 Big Snake_3

However, the spiritual fluctuations contained within this wood chip were extremely faint, and they also carried an aura of decay and annihilation.

Gu Shen stood somewhat puzzled at the exit of the Snow Mountain Canyon.

This place was the end of the maze.

The vast expanses of green and the azure sky in the distance were as beautiful as a painting... but the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it could be.

Gu Shen felt that oasis was too beautiful.

So beautiful it seemed like a dream.

Perhaps... it truly was a dream.

"Wait a moment..."

He extended a hand, stopping Li Chen who was ready to move forward.

"Everyone, don’t rush ahead!"

This voice, using the remnant "Spiritual Power" within the sparks... Around them, the sparks had now converged into a circle tens of meters in diameter, and the flames trembled.

This voice, after the trembling of the sparks, rolled and spread!

The next moment... Li Chen turned his head back, but his expression, besides being blank, also carried anger.

"Brother Gu, didn’t you see... This is an oasis!"

Li Chen spoke coldly.

He brushed off Gu Shen’s hand and walked forward.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, watching the silver eye atop Li Chen’s head rotating ceaselessly, yet having stopped emitting light.

Unbeknownst to him, the Source Eyes had already ceased functioning...

Perhaps... this snow mountain exit was already a part of the dream.

The entire team was "slowly" moving forward, the only anomaly being the team leader Yuan Yuan, whose expression, unlike the other members, was half joy and half pain, as if struggling.

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

He once again extended two fingers, ready to confront the "Golden Hoop," releasing more of Chi Huo to awaken those within the dream.

The moment his fingertips touched Chi Huo.

"Boom!"

A familiar fluctuation surged in his heart!

Gu Shen’s pupils contracted.

That fluctuation... he had felt it once before entering the canyon!

Something was resonating with "Chi Huo," or with the "Netherworld King Spirit"!

This time.

The familiar fluctuation arose again, followed by the sound of collapsing and shattering rocks behind him, a huge shadow cast over the high skies, and the clanking sounds of chains and metal, intensely ringing.

Everyone "subconsciously" looked up.

The lost wanderers within the dream saw a sun burning in the shadows.

Their faces still wore faint smiles.

What Gu Shen saw...

Was a gigantic snake head, tens of meters long, coiled up; that so-called "sun" was the pair of brilliant, blazing snake eyes that the giant snake had opened!

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The mountain rocks were the snake’s scales.

The way home was the snake’s body.

In the many years of archives of the Investigation Corps, there had never been mention of such a terrifying "Extraordinary Creature" existing outside the giant wall... The full length of this snake, seemingly hundreds of meters long, was beyond one glance.

Humans were unable to survive in the Old World.

But this snake... could.

This was probably major news that would shake the whole North Continent, and what was most terrifying was, in the vast expanse of the Old World, the emergence of an extraordinary creature meant... a second one?

Or perhaps, countless more?

How ironic.

The end of the maze was not hope at all... but a dream that led to a dead end.

This path of hope towards the dreamy oasis was actually a suicidal road into the embrace of the giant Divine Snake.

The towering Big Snake coiled its body.

Gu Shen hastily took out the Ghost Veil and put it on; the moment he donned the "Ghost Veil," his spiritual power began to gather intensely, amplifying!

The effect of the Ghost Veil!

This Sealed Object began to erode Gu Shen’s Spirit Sea.

However, at this moment, the Ghost Veil encountered the Battle Golden Hoop head-on.

And within Gu Shen’s Spirit Sea, Chi Huo, sensing the challenge of the "low-level Sealed Object," actively surged with a suppressing intent... After the collision, a wisp of Chi Huo was successfully released.

A fierce light kindled at Gu Shen’s brow!

He roared softly.

"Wake up!!!"

This thunderous voice of spiritual awakening rang in the hearts of every Transcendent in the explorer team!

Like a great hammer!

Shattering this illusory dream!

The first to wake up was Yuan Yuan; the team leader had already been struggling, and with the sound of Gu Shen’s fire, he broke free from the dream. It took him two seconds to perceive the utterly shocking scene...

Yuan Yuan’s roar resounded through the snow and wind!

"Investigation Corps! All members, prepare to fight!!"

The second to awaken was not the Spiritual Transcendent Li Chen but the deputy team leader, Su He!

This man’s cultivation of spiritual power was quite solid, proving to be the most tenacious member in the team... He didn’t wait for the team leader’s roar, as the warning of Chi Huo’s fire awakened him.

The deputy team leader Su He, upon awakening, didn’t retreat but charged forward.

He dashed straight towards the "vast entity" high above.

The taciturn man acted with unmatched boldness, springing from the ground, stepping upon the "flowing" cliff faces—those were the gliding snake scales. Within seconds, he leapt high!

He threw a punch!

This was the full force of a third-order elite fighter!

"Bang!!!"

The sound of the explosion blasted through the air.

High above, the Divine Snake’s pupils were cold and detached.

The corners of its mouth curled slightly, as if it were smiling.
