"Royal-Jacks?!"

Huo Bing nodded. "Md. Above the Qi Forming stage was the Royal Stage. Royal is divided into three, Jack-Queen-King. Each is divided into low, middle, and high."

"Then the leader of the snake was at what level?"

"High-Jack." Huo Bing replied with a grim face.

"What about you and Heiliao?"

"Low-Jack" said Heiliao who approved the nod by Huo Bing.

"Dam."

"What about the five snakes guarding it?"

"Three in the Qi 9 Forming stage, two in the Low-Jack stage."

Hearing that made Xika's face go bad as well. One snake in the High-Jack stage, five in the Low-Jack stage. And there were still thousands who were at the Qi Forming level. It was not something they could easily defeat.

"Calm down. Even though we are only at Low-Jack level, fighting enemies in the High-Jack stage is not a problem for us. " Huo Bing was trying to encourage Xika.

In war, there is more important than strength and that is spirit. Of course, strength also plays a role in war, but not as much as the role of spirit. If there are two forces that have balanced strength, then the spirit will determine the victory.

Currently, they were indeed outnumbered as well as in strength. But Huo Bing did not want Xika to break up. Xika knew that too. And he also knew that even fighting enemies at the High-Jack level was not a problem for Huo Bing and Heiliao, but both of them had consumed not the least qi so far.

Perhaps Heiliao could eat his homemade pills to recover qi, but it was different with Huo Bing. The bird could not use qi as easily as Heiliao. In addition, the pill also did not work optimally as it worked on Heiliao.

Uncompleted Xika thought of a way out, she felt a dense killing intent. Along with the appearance of the killing air, the snakes beside him no longer attacked him. They backed off regularly as if someone was giving orders.

Someone is giving orders.

The snakes retreated and formed a circle that surrounded the three. Then the crowd of snakes slowly pulled over giving way to the figure who was walking closer to Xika.

Two figures plus the three snakes that Huo Bing had previously injured, a total of five snakes. But they are no longer serpents, but humans.

Xika had once read that at some level Spirit Beasts could turn into humans. Looking at the five figures before him like the book he was reading was true.

"Heh. Finally the leader came out." Huo Bing gave a mocking smile to the five figures who were now facing him.

Xika and Heiliao did not speak. The two stared at the figure before them fixedly. Especially the two figures standing at the very front. Looking from his aura, it seemed like they were at the Low-Jack stage.

"Hm? Which other three? Why are you the only ones here?" huo Bing said half confused and half mocking.

"Heh. We've more than enough to take care of you." The front one speaks. He was wearing a black white striped shirt. Looks like the shape of his eyebrows is a snake with a stripe motif.

"The other three helped your leader seal this place. Don't you?" Heiliao also spoke.

No one answered him, but it made Heiliao sure he was right.

"Well, now.....how are we going to take care of them?" Another figure who was at Jack's stage spoke. He wore a black robe mixed with mud ash to create an ugly color.

Unlike the previous figure who had human-like clothes, this figure had clothes that did not differ much from his snake form. And seeing the clothes made a name come to Xika's head.

Boa.

The famous snake likes to entangle his opponent until out of breath. Xika was sure the true form of the ugly color-clothed figure must be a boa snake.

"Xica."

Huo Bing sent a voice message to Xika.

"I've injured three snakes in the back. You hold them all you can. The two in front just leave it to me and the Wolves. We'll help you after finishing both."

Upon seeing Xika nodding, Huo Bing flapped his wings making the first move. He flew towards the black-and-white clothed figure while aiming his claws.

The figure avoided it easily. But because of the attack, he had some distance from Xika. And that was exactly what Huo Bing was about to do. The bird continued to give an attack and slowly carried the snake away from Xika.

Heiliao did the same. He lunged at the boa snake and led it away. Leave Xika and the three snakes in the Qi 9 Forming stage.

"Well.....although we are not comparable to them, is it not excessive to take care of this three children?"

"You take care of this kid. I still want to avenge that damn bird."

"Sad."

Xika who heard the conversation of the three just smiled a little.

"You can underestimate me. But you'll regret it." Finished saying that, Xika did not wait for an answer. He kicked the ground rushing forward while throwing two pieces of cards preventing the other two from interfering with Heiliao and Huo Bing's fight.

Xika floated the Space Shifter towards the Tree Snake. The sight of the three instantly changed after witnessing Xika's fight with the Tree Snake. The three began to increase their alertness.

"No. It was indeed his actual cultivation level. His aura is very stable. The person who hides his cultivation level will not have that unstable aura."

"But he was clearly not comparable to a Qi 2 Forming stage cultivator. His attack pattern was like he had fought for years."

"You guys watched on from earlier. Why not join in too?" Xika disappeared and appeared behind the Grass Snake and Leaf Snake. He gave out various slashes using his cards and Space Shfter.

Of course the Tree Snake would not stay silent seeing Xika ignore him.

"Buck, you dare ignore me! You're looking to die!"

The Tree Snake opened its mouth and shot out a lump of brownish-colored qi. Xika doesn't know if the attack is poisonous or not and she doesn't want to find out either. So he jumped up and dodged the attack.

Just as he was about to land, the Leaf Snake had been waiting for him. Xika tried to change her position to survive.

THE DUAK!

Bruk!

Xika was thrown several meters away due to the attack of the Leaf Snake. Just now, the Leaf Snake kicked his back. And he felt pain. Though there is a Nexus that coats his body. Why does he feel pain?

But Xika did not have time to think about the answer because hundreds of leaves had gathered eyeing her and each leaf had a sword-sharp edge.

Unfinished, from the ground appeared the roots of the tree that held his feet so as not to move.

"Heh. Land huh?"

Xika did not panic in that situation. In fact, he smiled. He stared at the hundreds of leaves that were just a few meters away from him and then his gaze turned to the roots of the tree holding him back.

Whush!

But the leaves did not manage to reach their target. Xika disappeared in the ground swallow with her legs still tied by the tree roots.

The Leaf Snake turned his head and guessed that it was caused by the Tree Snake, but the one in sight also only shook his head. On the other hand, the Grass Snake closed its eyes spreading an aura trying to search for Xika's existence.

He opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Under!"

Late just a little, the Xika card will split the Leaf Snake. Due to the Grass Snake's warning, Xika had only managed to give a scratch to the Leaf Snake.

But that scratch was enough to make the Leaf Snake grit his teeth holding back the anger.

"Fuckin' shit! You dare attack me?! You're really looking to die!" The Leaf Snake shot a qi into the sky which turned into hundreds of leaves. This time the leaves just fell like rain.

Xika was not fooled by her appearance. He was convinced that the attack was not as simple as it seemed. As much as possible he avoided the rain of leaves.

KRTT!!!!

The Tree Snake created a tree trunk then used it to attack Xika. The Grass Snake on the other hand, created a thin grass that was sharp like a needle.

While Xika fights with the Tree Snake, she must avoid raining leaves and throwing sharp grass like needles.

Huo Bing, having managed to distance the snake from Xika, did not attack as aggressively as before. He prefers to defend and observe his opponent's attack.

"Why? Tired already? A soul like you can't beat me."

The bird was not provoked by the word snake stripes. He even retaliated against his provocation.

"Why are your clothes no stranger? Let me remember for a moment......Uh! The snakes in the river before. You have the same pattern. That's a nice shirt. Honey I burned them all. If you knew their skin could be made into nice clothes, I wouldn't burn them. Too bad."

And Huo Bing succeeded. The stripes snake ate his provocation.

"So I kept finding out who would dare to kill my troops. It turned out that only a lump of soul would die any minute. Since you want to die so badly, let me help you!"

The striped snake gave an increasingly wild attack. Huo Bing was overwhelmed by it.

But the bird smiled. He deliberately provoked the snake to give a blind attack that has many gaps.

Heiliao, who was facing the Boa Snake, was quite a difficulty. He tried to keep his distance so as not to be wrapped around by the Boa Snake. But it even limited his movement so that he was not free to attack and defend.

"You can only avoid? From then on keep avoiding. Are all wolves as cowardly as you? Or is it just you?"

Heiliao just kept silent giving no answer. If this continues, over time he will be exhausted to avoid and eventually caught without giving an attack or not having the strength to fight. Rather than that, why not just give an attack?

With that in mind, Heiliao changed her fighting style. Not only did he survive passively, he also began to give active attacks.

But that's what the Snake Boa awaits. To be honest, he couldn't wrap around Heiliao because the black wolf was constantly dodging whenever he approached.

The current situation, where Heiliao started to give out attacks and not just defend, was a situation that allowed him to entangle the opponent.
