"Wait first....What do you mean by 'who's their target?'" Bao Fang asked with his furrowed brows suspiciously. Several other citizens also began to look at the three suspiciously.

"It's none of your business," Huo Bing replied unconcernedly, "But it's indeed a good question. Who's their target?"

"What?! My business book you said?!" Bao Fang along with several other citizens bellowed furiously.

WHOSHS!

"really. None of your business. Now shut up." Huo Bing let out his aura and suppressed those who gave suspicious looks.

"Huaaa......" Jun Si was crying looking at the sinister expression Huo Bing was showing.

"Hm?" Hearing that cry Huo Bing's face instantly changed. He approached Jun Si and tried to calm him down by making a silly face.

"I think.... they know absolutely nothing about our barrenness," Xika thought seriously, "The last time we met them at the tomb. After that we go to town to meet that fucking bastard and then to the wolves."

Heiliao nodded, "The snakes should not enter the city. But even if they enter, they won't be able to get past the wolves."

"Then their target is clear," Huo Bing turned to look at the villagers, "They are targeting you guys and it has nothing to do with us at all."

"What's? Wait, whoa. I don't understand what you're talking about at all. Who do you mean by 'them'? And why are you so sure this has nothing to do with you?"

"Really! Explain it to us!"

"Tell me clearly!"

"Huh? You guys don't understand what I'm saying so you're asking me for an explanation? Did you give any explanation when you were about to kill us? Did you explain what happened decades ago to fear us? Heh. It's funny."

Hearing Huo Bing's words, Bao Fan and the citizens who were silent could not answer. They bow their heads.

"Huo Bing, this is not a moment"

"All right! We'll tell you what happened years ago. But-"

DRPRPR!!!!

BOOM!!!

Before the Village Chief finished his sentence, the ground shook and the sky shook. Some unprepared citizens fell down with a look of disbelief in their eyes.

"Ck. As expected," Xika looked at the Village Chief, "There's no time. Do what I ask. The rest, get ready to fight."

BOOM!!!!

DUARR!!!!

The sky is shaking again. Xika's face was getting worse. Clearly, his father's formation was unable to withstand the snake's encirclement. Even so, at least his father's formation could give him a bit of time to prepare. Xika ran out of the village.

"Heiliao!"

The black wolf ran after Xika. Huo Bing as well. The three traced the outer corners of the village looking for things that could be used as weapons.

The Village Chief did as XIka asked, while the rest of the men who were about to fight only looked at Xika in confusion.

"What are they doing?"

"Why did they run outside the village?"

The men really did not understand what the three of Xika were doing. According to them, the safest place is in the village. So when he saw Xika and the others running out of the village they were completely confused.

What the three of Xika did was look for poison. The natural conditions in this village are so fertile that according to Xika there must be some poisonous plants that can be used. It's not wrong. After searching for a while, he found some useful plants.

But after all, the number of plants they encountered was not enough when it came to fighting with thousands of snakes. Yeah, thousands. Xika estimated that the number of snakes to come was around thousands. The lookout group alone numbered in the hundreds, then the main group must have been more. Inwardly, he hoped that the number of snakes present would not reach tens of thousands.

Huo Bing and Heiliao also did not find many plants. If totaled, then the sum the three of them gathered was only a few hundred. It was simply not enough to fight the snakes that had an estimated number of thousands.

"It's not enough. There's gotta be another way." Xika frowned looking at the number of plants gathered.

Suddenly he remembered his mother's favorite flower garden. The flowers are beautiful, the leaves can be used as poison while the roots can be used as medicine.

Taps!

Whush!

Xika ran towards the Hydrangea flower garden. He stared at the garden for a while before sighing and saying,

"I'm sorry mom. I have to borrow your favorite interest."

Then Xika picked the flowers and separated the leaves with the roots. Huo Bing and the newly arrived Heiliao were quite surprised to see Xika picking the flowers. How not, before Xika loved the flowers and never picked them at all.

The only exception is when he shows magic to children because he thinks the flowers deserve the smile of every child.

"Xika....are you sure....?"

"Yes. That's my mom's favorite."

Seeing the faces of Xika who no longer had any doubts, Huo Bing and Heiliao also rushed to pluck the flowers and did the same with Xika.

The curious villagers decided to follow where Xika and the others went. And they were both shocked and angry at what Xika three did.

"What are you guys doing?! Stop that!"

But Xika was too lazy to explain. He looked at Heiliao and the black wolf grinned, revealing its ferocious fangs making the citizens retreat in fear. Thanks to Heiliao, Xika and Huo Bing managed to pluck all the Hydrangea flowers other than blue.

"That's enough. Come on!" Xika patted Heiliao.

"M."

Heiliao turned around and no longer cared about the citizens. The three sat in a circle and then took out a plant that could be used as poison. They processed the plant into a powder or liquid that could be used in direct combat.

But the poison is only a low-level poison. It might take some poison to drop the Qi Forming level 3 snake down. Regarding Forming Qi 4 and above, it definitely needs more.

BOOM!!!!

The clashing sound came back and Xika did not have much time left. His hands moved increasingly faster, as did Heiliao and Huo Bing, both of whom increased the speed in cultivating poison plants.

"What are you actually doing? You destroyed our garden! Do you know how valuable the garden is?!" show one of the citizens to Xika. He knew that Heiliao and Huo Bing were just acting after Xika.

"I know!" shout Xika.

"I know," this time it was quieter, "The garden is indeed precious, but do you think that the garden is worth more than your life?"

"I-it's......"

No one can answer Xika. But at least they knew that what Xika did was to make them survive. So they no longer bother Xika.

BOOOM!!!

Xika clicked her tongue irritated. Another blow sounded. It should be that soon his father's formation will be destroyed and the snakes will barge in.

"Get me your gun." Xika asked Zheng Wei.

"E-uh?"

"Hurry up!"

"Y-yeah!"

Xika smeared the racu on Zheng Wei's weapon then did the same with the other citizens' weapons. After all the weapons she had smeared, Xika wrapped the poison into several bags. He divided the bags containing the poison into existing citizens.

BOOOM!!!!!

Xika looked at Huo Bing and Heiliao. There was no more poison left. He breathed heavily. What he could do already he did. The rest he left to the sky.

BOOOOOM!!!!!

THE DUARRRR!!!

BLAARR!!!!

LAD!!!!

After hearing the sound of pounding countless times, there finally came the sound of explosions and formations that Xing Taiyang had set apart.

Xika looked at the sky as if it was shattered into thousands of fragments. Then under the shattered sky, he saw thousands of slippery long-bodied creatures charging right at him.

"Sssssss!!!!"

Thousands of snakes were traveling at high speed using their bellies. Xika looked at the snakes with a determined look on her face. Cosmos floated beside him and was ready for use. The Nexus has wrapped its body except for the head. The Space Shifter shaped stick clasped firmly in his right hand.

Beside him, Huo Bing flapped his wings ready for battle, Heiliao also exposed his fangs and took a ready-to-fight position.

The three stood in front of the citizens with inversely proportional gazes. In the eyes of the citizens there was only a fear full of terror and terrible memories that re-emerged. Their bodies trembled to see the events of so many years ago repeat themselves.

Instead, the gaze of Xika three was filled with determination. It would be a lie if they said they were not afraid to face thousands of snakes. Or at least Xika. But it would be stupid if they just kept quiet. It's true, Xika was afraid.

He was afraid to fight the serpents. He was afraid to lose and die. She was afraid she could never see her parents again. But it was precisely because of that that that he had to go forward and fight. If he is afraid of death, he must fight not to die. If he is afraid of not being able to see his parents again, then he must fight to be able to see his parents again.

The snakes were getting closer and Xika knew what was in front of her eyes was only half or even less than the total amount there was.

"Huo Bing?"

"I've died once. So dying both times is okay."

"Heiliao?"

"I have no regrets in life."

Xika smiled at the answers of her two brothers. Even if they had to die, at least they died together.

WHUSHES!

And with that, began Xika's fight against thousands of snakes.
