Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 766

Chapter 766
- Shoot! Shoot! Shoot… -



The snakes on the trees started to attack now .

First, the men needed to defend the attacks from the ground, and now they also had to defend the attack from the sky . Things got worse for the men of Cold Moon Palace this time . Everybody was in a muddle now . They probably would lose it .

Xiao Mufei shouted loudly and thirty men in the crowd jumped up high all of a sudden . They had been prepared for a long time . Their swords started to glow and they protected the others from the attacks in the sky . There were dozens of other disciples that kept watching the ground and swept away the other snakes on the ground as soon as they could .

The snakes had forced two groups of men to fight together . What a tough fight!

Ye Xiao was worried . One hundred and twenty men of the three hundred and sixty had joined the fight . Nobody died yet . However, as it went on, there would definitely be people dying!

Ye Xiao knew the weak point of the snakes, but that was all he knew . Xiao Mufei knew more than Ye Xiao about the snakes, but just not the most important one . Ye Xiao was worried and he knew this was urgent . He just couldn't think of a way to indicate the weak point of the snakes!

At the meantime, he felt something moving on his chest . He looked at it and saw Erhuo was thrilled . It didn't look scared at all now . He knew what to do now . He reached his hand and grabbed a part of a snake body .

Ye Xiao didn't know much about Silver-scaled Golden-caruncle Snakes, but when one hits a snake, they usually hit its jugular . He grabbed the snake on its neck . The snake was yet to die even though it had already lost the other part of its body . It kept twisting but couldn't attack, as its jugular was grabbed .

And then Ye Xiao put the snake on the floor .

Xiao Mufei frowned and looked at him . He wasn't happy about that . [We all fight so hard for your life, and you are playing with the snake here… It is good if you help killing some, yet you just play with a dead one…]

He had no time to say anything about it on the battle . Time flew . He just pretended he didn't see him .

Erhuo saw what Ye Xiao did . It knew what he wanted immediately . Before Ye Xiao said anything, Erhuo casually walked over that snake and turned that snake over with a claw .

The snake was seriously injured, but it still hissed and stared at Erhuo fiercely .

Erhuo was pissed . [You little stupid snake . How dare you stare at me like that? You are just a dying snake!]

Erhuo opened its mouth and bit on the snake fiercely .

Of course, the cat won . Erhuo bit the snake head and then crunched . - Crack! - It bit off the head and chewed it, and then swallowed it without hesitation .

"You silly cat! Why are you so stupid!" Ye Xiao was shocked . He tried to open its mouth . "You fool! It's a poisonous snake!"

Erhuo rolled its eyes and licked its lips . Its furry face was full of indifference .

It thought . [Oh, my master . What an ignorant fool . Even you know this thing is poisonous, of course I know too! Would I eat it if I am afraid of the snake's poison? If you don't want me to get poisoned, don't let me fight that stupid snake . My man . I can't believe I am following such an idiot!]

[Hmm… The taste of the snake…]

The next moment, it licked its lips again and again! Its two ears stood up and flicked . It eyes were like two searchlights lighting up!



[Holy heavens!]

[That… is such a surprise!]

[This snake… is full of nutrition!]

[It looks creepy but… tasty . ]

When it looked around the enormous amount of snakes, its eyes were getting brighter . A long line of saliva appeared on its mouth .

"Silver-scaled Golden-caruncle Snake is one of the most poisonous things in Qing-Yun Realm . They could only be found in this Dark Pine Forest," somebody spoke in a deep voice . It was Xiao Mufei .

"Among all the beasts in Qing-Yun Realm, this snake is far from the top league . In fact, it is even lower than average . "

"However, the poison it carries makes it part of the top poisonous beasts . "

"Whoever gets poisoned by it will die for sure . Even Dao Origin Stage cultivators wouldn't be able to survive its poison . The snake is just a third level beast . That means it's weak!" Xiao Mufei kept watching the snakes while he was speaking .

The disciples were listening to him while fighting the snakes .

"You may not be any outstanding cultivators, but you are all above Dream Origin Stage at least . Each of you can easily handle a level six beast . To kill this snake should be a piece of cake . "



Xiao Mufei sounded heavy, but he was encouraging his men .

"Now, we have over three hundred brothers here . Even though we have to deal with a hundred thousand snakes, each of us only need to kill about three thousand . [1]"

Xiao Mufei continued, "We kept switching to defend the snakes, so we have time to rest . We have been cultivating all our lives . This is just some stupid snakes . Do you really think we are unable to handle it? Hell no!"

The disciples were all inspired!

[That's right! There are many snakes indeed, but I just need to kill three thousand! Just sway the sword three thousand times . That's easy . We do more than that everyday in practice!]

Suddenly, everybody was thrilled . Their swords became brighter, moving faster and faster . Within just a while, the defense area expanded a hundred meters wide .

They started to cheer, as things finally went better .

Ye Xiao frowned . He moved close to Xiao Mufei and spoke quietly, "Elder Xiao, I am afraid there is something wrong with this . I don't think these snakes are easy to handle like this . "

Xiao Mufei frowned and said, "Hmm? Why?"

Ye Xiao spoke in a low voice, "I was observing the snakes and grabbed one to check its body… It is easy to handle when it is just one snake . Even I can easily kill it . All I need to do is try my best not to be poisoned . However, the scales are unbelievably tough . If we keep cutting it, it will consume more energy than we can afford . It will be easy to feel exhausted . Even though we take turns to fight, we may still not be able to clear it . Besides, it will eventually damage our weapons . If we die because of the loss of weapons, that will be such a shame . "
