Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

Seizing the moment, Wang Biao loosed another arrow!

However, the Blood-tooth Python was already on guard and twisted to dodge it.

SQUELCH—

But the arrow still ended up sinking into one of its pupils.

A hand was gripping the nock end of the arrow...

It was Chen Chong, long since drenched in snake blood until he looked like a man made of it!

The python had dodged Wang Biao’s lethal shot, but not Chen Chong, who was waiting for an opening. The instant the arrow struck and dislodged a scale near its eye, he leaped up, grabbed the arrow, and plunged it into the beast’s pupil.

"Die!"

Chen Chong, like a blood-soaked titan, not only drove the arrow completely into its eye but also plunged his other hand, which held the Tang Blade, into the same pupil, tearing the eyeball to shreds.

Fresh blood instantly gushed out like a spring.

For the first time, the Blood-tooth Python felt a piercing agony, a hundred times more painful than any previous injury. It thrashed its head wildly, sending Chen Chong flying.

"Brother Chong!"

"Sir, are you alright?"

Xu Jun had escaped to a safe distance with Jia Wen, and they all turned to look at Chen Chong.

His appearance was terrifying. He was covered from head to toe in blood, his original skin color completely obscured.

His clothes, his hair, his body, and even the Tang Blade in his hand were all coated in thick snake blood, as if he had just crawled out of a pool of it.

"I’m fine..."

Chen Chong gasped for breath.

Thanks to his Rock Body Transformation, the Blood-tooth Python’s constriction had been ineffective.

The blood on him was all from the python; he himself was unharmed, at most just a little numb from the pressure.

But the toll of constantly using his abilities at high intensity was immense. Fortunately, his rapid recovery was kicking in, steadily replenishing his stamina and Spiritual Power...

Suddenly, a thick purple mist appeared.

While Wang Biao, Xu Jun, and the others were still stunned, Chen Chong reacted. The Blood-tooth Python was using its poison mist!

The moment the purple mist made contact with the ground, the withered leaves rapidly dissolved.

The severed limbs scattered about also began to blacken and melt at a visible rate.

Eventually, they were reduced to nothing but pools of blood...

"Fall back!"

At his shout, everyone realized something was wrong and quickly retreated.

Although the poison mist spread quickly, it was clearly not as voluminous as what the Stone Claw Eagle had released during their battle.

It only managed to cover an area of less than fifty meters before the mist stopped advancing...

Chen Chong also wanted to retreat from the attack for the moment.

But just then, the sense of crisis from his beastly intuition began to fade rapidly, and his Perception Ring lost track of the Blood-tooth Python’s location.

It had retreated beyond a hundred meters!

’The Blood-tooth Python... is trying to escape!?’

Looking at the deep pit ahead, Chen Chong immediately understood its plan.

’The beast wants to use the poison mist to force us back, then escape into the deep pool and go underground?’

’No!’

’I can’t let it. Not after I finally found it and wounded it this badly.’

’If I let it get away, not only will its self-healing ability restore all its injuries, but the Bloodthirsty Vine waiting underground will snatch the credit for the kill.’

’I’ve worked myself to the bone hacking the Blood-tooth Python to this state. Am I just going to hand it over on a silver platter, making it an easy meal for the vine to parasitize and devour?’

VMMM...

The Antitoxic Necklace on his neck began to glow. Chen Chong actively used its poison-resisting ability and charged headfirst into the mist.

This scene left Wang Biao, Xu Jun, and the others dumbfounded.

If they didn’t know that Chen Chong was a prudent person and not the impulsive type, they would have thought he was actively seeking death.

Since Chen Chong dared to charge in, he must have been confident he could survive.

Although they wanted to charge in after him, seeing the poison mist corroding even the soil, they gritted their teeth and chose to fall back...

Amidst the dense purple mist, a white light shone, however faintly.

But it firmly protected Chen Chong within, preventing even a trace of the poison from reaching him.

Feeling the rapid drain on his Spiritual Power, Chen Chong didn’t hold back and activated his Perception Ring again.

The poison mist completely obscured his vision, and since the Blood-tooth Python had temporarily lost its will to fight, his beastly intuition wouldn’t trigger. To find it, he had to use this Extraordinary Artifact...

A life fluctuation flickered past. Although it blinked for only a moment right at the hundred-meter edge of his range, Chen Chong still caught it.

Deactivating the Perception Ring, Chen Chong charged forward.

Soon, the deep pit appeared before his eyes!

Seeing the constantly churning water’s surface, it was obvious the Blood-tooth Python had already escaped into the pool.

Gazing at the inky black water below, Chen Chong’s expression was complex.

’In the water, is it...’

...

"Brother Chong!!!"

With the Blood-tooth Python’s escape, the purple mist dissipated quickly, thinning out and vanishing in less than a dozen breaths.

Xu Jun, Wang Biao, Jia Wen, Zhang Meng, and Huang Mao—the five of them—ran to the edge of the deep pit.

Staring down at the hundred-meter drop to the pool, which was still churning with huge ripples, their faces turned unspeakably grim.

"Damn it! We couldn’t keep that beast on the shore. It actually managed to escape into the water!"

Wang Biao’s face was filled with utter frustration.

The hand gripping his war bow was trembling uncontrollably.

’I’m too weak, just too weak!’

’I can’t help him!’

’The only effective arrow was the one he personally drove into the Blood-tooth Python’s eye.’

’Without him, I’m afraid I still wouldn’t have been able to do it.’

’Even after using a Power Enhancement Card, I still don’t have what it takes to face an Extraordinary Creature head-on!’

"On land, we might have been able to help him a little, but now that the battlefield has moved to the water, our usefulness is practically zero," Jia Wen said. His tiger-head greatsword was still dripping with blood.

Just then, Xu Jun snatched the blade from him and gripped it in his hand.

With a great tug, he ripped off his already tattered short-sleeved shirt.

"You guys can’t help Brother Chong, but... I can!"

On his neck, a water-affinity bead forged from the bones of a Unihorn Catfish was faintly glowing.

’Heh, this thing drains you fast. I already feel a little drowsy. I hope I can last for ten minutes or so, otherwise I won’t just be useless to Brother Chong, I’ll cause more trouble for him...’

Xu Jun had a fear of heights, and an even greater fear of the deep sea.

Looking at the hundred-meter drop into the dark, bottomless pool, his legs had already begun to tremble uncontrollably.

"You guys just wait up here..."

"Fuck it! What’s there to be scared of!"

After psyching himself up for a good few minutes, Xu Jun squeezed his eyes shut, gritted his teeth, and leaped.

He left the others behind, staring at each other, their faces filled with shock and astonishment...

...

The pool was deep, like a bottomless abyss!

It was also bone-chillingly cold!

But the most critical part was the darkness, the near-zero visibility...

This blackness wasn’t inherent to the water; it was the darkness created by the obstructed sunlight that couldn’t penetrate this deep, making it look like a pool of ink.

In truth, after jumping in, he could see a little, but only for a meter or two around him. Anything further was swallowed by the endless dark...

Chen Chong continued to sink.

Upon entering the water, the ability granted by his Water Mastery was activated.

His sensory acuity, his speed, and the flexibility of his physical reactions all skyrocketed in an instant.

The Perception Ring’s 100-meter range instantly expanded, allowing him to perceive all living things within 500 meters.

’This body of water... there are no fish?’

’And no trace of the Blood-tooth Python?’

Chen Chong’s heart skipped a beat. ’Did it go even deeper?’

Filled with doubt, he continued to swim downward.

He didn’t know how long he’d been descending, but the visibility had now dropped to nearly zero.

The water temperature also grew colder and colder, as biting as ice water.

Just as Chen Chong was beginning to suspect that the Blood-tooth Python wasn’t at the bottom of the pool but had escaped into some unknown passage...

Just then!

A dark shadow flashed past him from the side.

’To the left!?’

The Perception Ring clearly detected a massive life form circling nearby, as if searching for the right angle of attack.

Needless to say, it had to be the Blood-tooth Python!

After entering the deep pool, it hadn’t gone straight underground. Instead, it had doubled back, perhaps wanting to kill this intruder in its own territory.

Chen Chong immediately drew his blade, his eyes fixed in its direction.

No matter how the Blood-tooth Python moved through the deep pool, whether it turned invisible or used the terrain to circle him, it could not escape Chen Chong’s perception.

’In all this time, I haven’t acquired many abilities.’

’But Water Mastery happens to be one of the most useful!’

’It’s useless on land, but in the water, it provides a massive boost.’

’Add to that the danger warnings from my beastly intuition,’

’and the Perception Ring’s massively increased 500-meter range in the water.’

’This deep pool may be the Blood-tooth Python’s home turf, but how is it not my home turf as well?’
