Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke

CHAPTER 5

Only after Shi Sheng had run for a bit did she get startled awake. For some reason, she derped out and ran when she saw Ye Qingqiu dragging her male lead and charging towards her.

'What am I(bbb) running for? It's not even after me(bbb)! My(bbb) IQ has dropped after meeting the female lead...'

Just as Shi Sheng was about to slip away, the large creature behind them charged forward and blocked their path with its body.

Shi Sheng "..." 'What happened to the dragon? How come it turned into a snake?'

This was a python around 15 meters in length and had a width of around the size of three people. It raised its head and glared menacingly at them. When its tail swept from side to side, the surrounding trees collapsed.

Ye Qingqiu felt a bit doubtful. She had clearly seen a dragon, so how come it had turned into a snake?

'Could it be... Is my luck really that good?'

Boom! Kaboom!

As if in agreement with Ye Qingqiu's thoughts, the previously clear sky was now filled with dark clouds. The clouds gave the impression of thousands of troops charging across them for a deafening rumbling could be heard.

"f.u.c.k!" Shi Sheng cursed before running the other way. 'This d.a.m.n snake is undergoing its tribulation ah!!! I'm just a Foundation Building cultivator, I can't withstand Tribulation Lightning! Ruuun!!!'

Ye Qingqiu dragged the unconscious male lead as she ran after Shi Sheng. She could actually keep up too!

The most important point though was that...

'That snake that's about to undergo a tribulation is following ah!!!'

In the original storyline, though Shan Shu had also partic.i.p.ated in this trip, she hadn't gotten off halfway. Naturally she wouldn't have encountered this either. But in the storyline, all the female lead had done was to save the male lead! There was nothing about being chased by a snake!!!

'Is the plotline broken because I chopped at the male lead a few times?'

Shi Sheng split some of her attention to the big snake. She noticed that it seemed to be targeting Ye Qingqiu specifically. Even if she fell behind a bit, the snake wouldn't attack her, instead focusing on chasing Ye Qingqiu.

"..." 'She couldn't have taken something that belonged to this fellow, could she? Then again, with her character setting, it's not impossible...'

[Hidden Quest : Overlooking the World.]

'Chotto matte kudasai[1]! You're still issuing quests when my life is on the line?! Have you no humanity?!'

[Host, I'm not a human so of course I have no humanity.] System replied drily to Shi Sheng's curses.

'So what's with this overlooking the world thing?'

[a.s.sist Feng Ci in ascending the Celestial Throne.]

'Feng Ci? f.u.c.k! It's another villain! Are all the hidden quests you issue going to have something to do with villains? And the final boss type ones too???'

[The Host cannot take any shortcuts in this quest nor are you allowed to twist the meaning of the words. I hope the Host will not court death and instead diligently complete the quest. A friendly reminder: If the Host is the direct cause of the death(s) of either the male or female lead, this quest will fail. A corresponding amount of Life Points will be deducted. When it reaches 0, the Host will be terminated.]

Shi Sheng "..." 'This rule... why does it seem like it was made up at the last minute? And even if I(bbb) can't kill them directly, I(bbb) can still do so indirectly! Wait a second! What are life points? I(bbb) didn't see it before? System, don't add all sorts of weird add-ons!'
