: The Corpse Oil is Slippery and Unforgiving?

"laugh--"

The fingertips rubbed against the scales, but there was no gripping sensation as I had imagined.

It's so slippery!

The viscous corpse oil acted like an invisible barrier; Jiang Han's fingers slid away as soon as they touched it.

It's impossible to hold onto!

"Damn it!"

Jiang Han cursed under his breath, his body sliding backward uncontrollably due to inertia.

Just as it was about to slip out of the area above the Nine Netherworld Python's head and fall into its writhing body, which was like a meat grinder.

At the critical moment.

He suddenly drew the black gold ancient sword from his waist and stabbed it fiercely into the gap between the scales at his feet!

"clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The ancient black gold sword, capable of cutting through iron like mud, lived up to expectations, its tip piercing through the hard scales and sinking deep into flesh.

"hold head high!"

The Nine Netherworld Python cried out in pain and violently shook its head.

This violent jerk almost sent Jiang Han flying like a snot blown from his nose.

But he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, his whole body suspended in mid-air, like a tattered flag fluttering in the wind.

[Holy crap! The streamer!]

[That scared me to death! My heart stopped just now!]

[This is so slippery! Is that dragon waxed?]

That's corpse oil! It's poisonous! Is the streamer's hand alright?

Jiang Han had no time to read the comments at that moment.

The moment his palms touched the corpse oil, a burning, stinging pain shot through him.

Although he was protected by the blood of the Qilin, preventing him from being instantly corroded and rotten, the slippery feel made it impossible for him to climb back.

If this continues, either my hand will slip from your grasp, or I'll be thrown off by this crazy, headache-ridden beast.

We must find a way to stabilize the body!

"System! Is there anything usable?!"

Jiang Han roared in his mind, "Stop with the fluff, get to the point! Now! Immediately!"

[Ding! Host detected to be facing a 'high-risk slippage' crisis. Intelligent recommendation solution is being generated...]

Price: 8000 Exploration Points.

roll!

Jiang Han almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

8000 points? You wouldn't even get that much if you sold it!

Moreover, in this situation, how could he possibly have time to saddle the giant snake?

By the time it's all installed, he'll be long dead!

"Get another one! Something cheaper! And effective immediately!"

Option Two: Tomb Raider - Black Gold Ghost Claw Gloves.

[Introduction: Top-secret equipment originating from the Celestial Official of the Tomb Raiders.]

2000 points.

Although it's still expensive, this feature is practically tailor-made for us!

Not only can it prevent slipping, but it can also be used as a weapon!

"That's it!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Han's eyes. "Buy!"

[Ding! Purchase successful! 2000 Exploration Points deducted (Current Balance: -8000).]

[Item automatically equipped!]

next second.

Jiang Han felt her hands tighten suddenly.

A pair of black gloves with a cold, metallic sheen appeared out of thin air on his hands, fitting perfectly to each of his fingers.

The touch is cool and delicate, yet full of power.

It's as if their hands have turned into sharp claws cast from steel.

"Snap!"

Jiang Han clenched his fists tightly.

Five barbs, each about an inch long, suddenly popped out from the fingertips of the gloves, gleaming coldly like the fangs of a ferocious beast.

"nice one."

A bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of Jiang Han's lips.

He loosened his grip on the knife hilt with his right hand, and in the instant of weightlessness, his left hand suddenly grabbed downwards!

"Pfft!"

The incredibly sharp black-gold ghost claws easily pierced through the Nine Netherworld Python's hard scales and dug deep into its flesh.

As stable as Mount Tai!

That slippery feeling completely disappeared.

Instead, it gives you a sense of absolute control.

"Get up!"

Jiang Han let out a low roar, exerted force with his left arm, and used the momentum to lift himself into the air, landing back on the dragon's head.

"hold head high--!!!"

The Nine Netherworld Python cried out in pain once more.

It could feel a sharp pain coming from the top of its head; it wasn't just physical pain, but more like something was being driven deep into its bones.

It wanted to shake its head, to get rid of this thing that was tormenting it.

"Don't move."

Jiang Han said coldly.

He crouched down, and with both hands exerting force simultaneously, his ten ghostly claws, like ten steel nails, pierced deep into the scales beneath his feet.

This time, he truly "nailed" himself to the dragon's head.

No matter how much the Netherworld Python tossed and turned, it remained completely still.

It's like it's grown on top.

"Bear with it."

Jiang Han patted its still-bleeding forehead and said indifferently, "If you want to live, then charge over there."

The Nine Netherworld Python whimpered pitifully, but intimidated by its master's tyranny, it could only endure the excruciating pain on its head and vent all its anger on the journey.

Speed, soaring once again!

In the live stream, viewers stared wide-eyed at the pair of exaggerated, gleaming black gloves on Jiang Han's hands.

Holy crap! Where did these gloves come from?!

Is that Wolverine? Those claws look painful!

[System Mall? Is the streamer here for an adventure or to sell products?]

Who cares where he came from! As long as he's handsome, that's all that matters!

[This grip is amazing! It's like it's physically adsorbed!]

[Nine Netherworld Python: I feel like my skull is leaking air...]

With the blessing of the Black Gold Ghost Claw, Jiang Han was completely liberated.

He could even stabilize his body with one hand while holding the Black Gold Ancient Sword in the other, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

The wind whistled in my ears.

The sound of water ahead grew louder and louder, becoming deafening.

That's the main channel of the underground river!

"arrive!"

Jiang Han's gaze sharpened.

Suddenly, at the end of the darkness ahead, a vast expanse of water appeared.

The water flowed swiftly, and black waves churned.

At the edge of the water, a faint glimmer of sunlight could be seen.

That's the exit to the outside world!

"Little Black, Little White!"

Jiang Han suddenly stood up, gripping the dragon's head tightly with both claws, his black gold ancient sword pointing straight at the water's surface.

"Jump down!"

"Swim out!"

Without any hesitation.

The two prehistoric behemoths, who had long been tortured into submission, were granted a pardon upon hearing the order.

They exerted their strength at the same time, their massive bodies soaring into the air and leaping towards the dark river surface!

A feeling of weightlessness washes over you.

Jiang Han opened her arms in the air to welcome the water vapor that rushed towards her.

This moment.

He no longer seemed like a terminally ill patient.

Instead, it is a Styx King who is about to inspect his territory!
