Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 90

Of course, conversely, if the mutated creatures guarding the energy stone managed to wipe out Lin Shuangshuang and her team, the result would be the same. This requires Li Man’s teammates, who were hiding far enough away earlier, to track closely in these final stages! Only then can they ensure they appear at the right moment to snatch the energy stone at the last minute!

Zhang Ling previously had the idea of having Monkey steal the opponent’s Beast Repellent Incense, but was always concerned that the Beast Repellent Incense was distributed among each person’s hands, making stealing just one piece useless and likely to alert the enemy.

However, after several probing attempts by Monkey, Zhang Ling discovered that whether due to negligence or caution, the opponent surprisingly placed all the Beast Repellent Incense into one person’s hand, specifically in the backpack of the Wood Ability User!

Perhaps because that Wood Ability User has the strongest combat power and is more loyal to Li Man, Li Man felt it more appropriate to place the Beast Repellent Incense with that person. Regardless of Li Man’s reasoning, this suited Zhang Ling’s intentions perfectly.

Today, after entering the basin, Zhang Ling gave Monkey the order that as soon as Li Man’s companions began to enter the basin and approach the group, he was to immediately steal the opponent’s Beast Repellent Incense!

Monkey did not disappoint and successfully completed the mission. The subsequent events were simple: without the Beast Repellent Incense and having entered the territory of the uproarious Mutant Orchid Mantis, even if these people managed to escape the mantis swarm, in such an ever-dangerous place, the likelihood of them safely escaping this drastically transformed tropical rainforest without the Beast Repellent Incense or a mobile safety fortress is zero!

The effectiveness of the Beast Repellent Incense was more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Earlier, when Monkey could endure its distaste to approach, everyone thought it wasn’t very powerful. However, it turned out it only had little effect on the group of mutated monkeys, while its power over other mutated creatures was extremely strong.

To say the least, Lin Shuangshuang and the others carried a lit Beast Repellent Incense along their path without any mutated creature coming forth to block them—smooth beyond belief! Even the three mutated creatures Li Man had previously mentioned, who were guarding the energy stone, did not appear. The group soon found themselves before a giant cave!

This cave was stunningly tall, with winding paths inside, adorned everywhere with hanging stalactites. Every nook and cranny was filled with unknown species of glowing moss emitting a green glow, exuding a sense of eeriness and oppression.

However, upon entering here, everyone felt a rich surge of energy! The energy was so abundant that it permeated everyone’s body automatically through their pores without any need for cultivation. In almost an instant, the fatigue from their prior journey vanished completely!

Everyone exchanged glances filled with the same excitement and tension, calming themselves. They seized the chance to eat some food by the cave entrance, drank their fill of juice, and extravagantly each took a lit Beast Repellent Incense in hand before cautiously entering the cave.

The cave was long, and the group advanced with powerful flashlights, moving inch by inch cautiously while supporting each other’s backs. Zhang Ling kept her spiritual power fully deployed, scanning thoroughly each step ahead before allowing the group to proceed, ensuring there was no threat detected.

Numerous turns were inside the cave, and under the powerful flashlight beams, astonishingly beautiful, diverse stalactites revealed themselves to the group’s eyes. Scenery that took eons to form was now appearing before their eyes in such a short span of time—unimaginable splendor and beauty!

But with no inclination to admire these natural wonders, instead, they watched the diverse, gigantic stalactites nervously, for behind these enormous, uniquely shaped formations, any giant mutated creature could easily conceal itself!

The further they went, the denser the perceived energy in the air became. By the time the energy almost seemed to condense into mist, they finally saw their goal for this journey—the energy stone!

The energy stone’s location was an enormous hollow, its smooth walls as if mirror-like. In front of everyone, a beautiful, towering giant stone appeared, over twenty meters high and two to three meters in both width and thickness!

This giant stone was emerald green without any blemish whatsoever, its touch like the finest mutton fat jade, yet its appearance resembled the finest imperial green, vividly green, beautiful beyond belief!

Rich energy continuously emanated from this blemish-free, jade-like giant stone. Without a second thought, upon seeing this giant jade-like stone, everyone shared the same thought in their hearts: the energy stone was finally found!

Lin Shuangshuang urgently called out to Chi Shaolong, ”Brother Chi, hurry and store this energy stone into the space!”

Within the group, both Li Wenxuan and Chi Shaolong were Space Ability users. It wasn’t that Lin Shuangshuang didn’t want Li Wenxuan to do it, but because his level was much lower than Chi Shaolong’s, added by the fact that in her previous life, Chi Shaolong was the one who took out the energy stone, so instinctively, Lin Shuangshuang felt having Chi Shaolong do it was the safest bet.

Chi Shaolong, indeed, did not disappoint everyone. With a mere wave of his hand, a powerful spatial ripple flashed, and in an instant, the energy stone was collected by Chi Shaolong, leaving only a huge crater on the ground!

Almost simultaneously with Chi Shaolong retrieving the energy stone, a sharp whizzing sound came from above them! A huge object appeared overhead, casting a massive shadow as it swung down fiercely upon them!

If struck by this enormous object, everyone would be smashed flat! The Thousand Silk Entanglement at Lin Shuangshuang’s side almost instantly shot out, expanding to the thickness of a giant serpent, snatching everyone around the waist in one swift motion, drawing them closer to Lin Shuangshuang!

As everyone was drawn near her, Lin Shuangshuang burst forth with extreme speed, pulling everyone away from under the giant object’s attack range in a fleeting moment!

Almost immediately after Lin Shuangshuang moved everyone away, the gigantic object struck the spot where they were, emitting a colossal sound. It seemed to shake the entire cave as stalactites on both sides broke off and fell, crashing to the ground, causing them to be dodged hurriedly by everyone.

After dodging the falling, shattered stalactites, everyone finally managed to see in the flashlight’s glare what that downward striking colossal object was!

In that instant of realization, everyone gasped, their hearts filled with terror! The feeling of horror arose from their core! For there, covered in scales, its girth requiring four to five people to encircle, and thinning downward to a pointed tip—clearly, it was a snake’s tail!

At this moment, the large, terrifying snake tail was slowly moving away, revealing the originally smooth ground, now presenting a vast crack before the group!
