Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

The black gold ancient sword was deeply embedded, and the giant crested snake, in order to get rid of Zhang Qiling above its head, charged around wildly, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe alike.

Pan Zi, Fatty, and the others were unable to dodge in time and were all swept by the enormous snake body, crashing hard into tree trunks and rocks, and basically all suffered internal injuries.

Wu Xie and the others were well-prepared and skillfully dodged the snake's indiscriminate attacks.

Jie Ziyang landed next to the (original) Fatty, and together with Huo Xiuxiu, who was carrying A Ning, they helped the injured (original) Wuxie, (original) Fatty, and the others to a place far away from the battlefield.

The giant crested snake's attacks were indiscriminate, and the surrounding crested snakes suffered even greater losses, with many dying under its crushing weight. Even so, when it saw the group emerge from the encirclement, it still glared menacingly at them.

Huo Xiuxiu put A Ning down, took out an array plate from her bag, and activated it with a pained expression, muttering, "This time we really lost a lot."

The array plate was set down, and a transparent protective shield was inverted, enveloping the group inside.

At this moment, a crested snake tentatively flew towards the group, crashed headfirst into the protective shield, and with a thud, slid off the shield, dazed and disoriented.

Huo Xiuxiu put her hands on her hips and sneered, "You little brat, you think you can break through the defensive formation?"

Behind her, Wu Xie, who had initially felt very safe, widened his eyes and his voice trembled.

"Little aunt, your defensive formation is very, very powerful, isn't it?"

"Why are you shaking?" Huo Xiuxiu was puzzled, but still answered his question seriously, "Of course, before its energy is exhausted, it can block even enemies comparable to those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment."

"That, that's good."

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were fixed on the top of his head. Fatty realized something was wrong, followed his gaze and looked up, and immediately met a pair of snake eyes as big as lead balls.

"Damn it!" The fat man was startled and instinctively fired a shot in the direction of the snake's eyes. Fortunately, he had run out of bullets and only fired a blank.

"Little auntie, do you still have that thing that explodes when you throw it?" the fat man asked.

Huo Xiuxiu looked up at the enormous snake head above her and swallowed hard. "Yes, it does, but I don't think the lightning bolts can harm this snake."

On the other side, with Zhang Qiling's insistence, the Black Gold Ancient Blade successfully pierced the head of the giant crested snake. The crested snake was extremely resilient and was not completely dead yet, its thick tail still instinctively sweeping around.

Wu Xie activated the talisman, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the snake's head directly. The lightning entered through the wound caused by the Black Gold Ancient Blade, charring the giant crested snake to a crisp.

"Phew!" He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was startled by Xie Yuchen's gloomy face.

"Little Flower, what's wrong?"

"We're surrounded."

Wu Xie looked up and noticed that the crested snakes around him had disappeared. The tree trunks were lying on their sides, and the bushes were unrecognizable after the crested snakes' recent rampage.

Further away, tall rainforest trees still stood in the forest, with large crested snakes, no smaller than the one next to them, hanging from their thick trunks.

The fat man's face turned ugly, and he cursed, "Damn it! So these snakes were secretly watching us while we were fighting their own kind."

A bead of sweat slid down Wu Xie's forehead. To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure. They had to deal with a large crested snake for a long time. There were so many snakes hanging on the trees around them that it was hard to tell how many there were.

"Little Flower".

Wu Xie stared at the snake closest to them and asked nervously, "Do you think we can defeat so many giant crested snakes?"

Xie Yuchen shattered his illusions: "No way."

An explosion came from where Huo Xiuxiu and the others were. The (original) Fatty rushed out carrying A Ning on his back, followed by the (original) Wu Xie and Pan Zi. His fat body had explosive power that did not match his appearance.

He shouted as he ran, "Run! Run!"

Huo Xiuxiu was running at the back, followed by a giant crested snake with half of its head sunken in.

The fat man was halfway there when he was about to yell at the men for not seeing the snakes behind them. But when he looked up, he was so frightened by the countless snake eyes gleaming with an eerie light in the jungle that he froze on the spot.

With a swarm of snakes in front and a giant snake behind, he felt for a moment that his life was over.

Seemingly sensing the commotion, or perhaps thinking they had all been discovered, the crested pythons hanging from the tree shifted their bodies and swam toward the group.

The closer they got, the more they realized that these snakes were all much larger than the one they had just seen.

Fatty: "No way, there are snakes in the world where the younger ones get attacked and the older ones come along?"

Wu Xie muttered under his breath, "Stop joking around, hurry up and think of a solution."

The fat man put his hands on his hips, looking quite nonchalant: "We can still figure out one or two, but these are twenty or thirty giant crested snakes. I'm out of ideas. I think we should just summon the Dean."

Wu Xie hesitated for a moment: "But..."

The fat man interrupted him: "No buts, if we're any later we'll both be snake dung."

“Fatty is right, this is not an enemy we can handle,” Xie Yuchen said rationally.

Just then, the twenty or thirty giant crested snakes opened their mouths in unison, and puffs of red mist shot out from their mouths.

The red mist stretched out in a continuous line, instantly enveloping the entire open space.

Wu Xie felt a chill in his philtrum. He raised his hand to touch it but only touched the gas mask on his face.

He knew he had a nosebleed.

Huo Xiuxiu coughed and staggered a few times, but she managed to pull out a bottle of antidote pills and distribute them to everyone.

Blood seeped from inside the gas mask; the red mist seemed to penetrate everywhere.

Several ordinary people collapsed in less than half a minute, but Zhang Qiling was still half-supported.

Xie Yuchen coughed twice, his mouth full of the taste of rust.

"Dean, Dean..." He pressed the communicator issued when he accepted the mission and sent a distress message to the people in the mission team who had remained silent.

The swarm of crested snakes continued to approach, patiently, even giving the impression that they were enjoying the process of cornering their prey and watching them slowly despair.

Wu Xie glanced at the fallen person, feeling secretly anxious.

The venom of the giant crested snake is extremely potent, far beyond ordinary toxins. Those people were just ordinary people, and even if they took antidotes, he feared they wouldn't be able to hold out until the dean arrived.

A gust of wind suddenly blew by, dispersing the thick red mist, which was carried into the air by the wind and formed a flowing red ball that fell into a pair of slender, fair hands.

Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen looked up and saw a pure white figure standing in the air, playing with the red ball formed by snake venom in his hand.

Seemingly sensing their gaze, the pure white figure lowered its head.

"what?"

With a flick of his wrist, Su Xingze put away the peculiar venom belonging to the Foundation Establishment demon beast and flew to Zhang Qiling almost instantly.

Zhang Qiling's eyes were unfocused. He forced himself to blink, and the last thing he saw was a pair of vibrant emerald green eyes.
