After the blood covenant, they are now brothers. And it warms the heart of Xika who now has almost no one.

But after hearing Huo Bing's story, Xika still did not understand what it had to do with the Dark Swifted Serpent knowing Huo Bing's identity when Huo Bing himself was in hiding and only helped Xika a little.

Wait for.

It seemed Xika knew why the snake was aware of Huo Bing's existence. The creature must have noticed it when Huo Bing helped himself.

But it still did not answer the question of why the two-headed snake recognized Huo Bing.

"By Huo Bing, by the way."

Huo Bing looked over.

"I still don't understand what the connection was between yesterday's snake and your story just now."

"Ah.

I forgot to tell it.

The last sight I saw was my parents fighting against a giant snake. So from that moment on I hated snakes enough.

But without any of those events somehow, I also did hate snakes. I don't understand, maybe the hatred is flowing in my blood.

After I separated from my parents, I lived my own life. My father's previous training played a big role in my survival at that time.

I managed to survive because of the hard training my father gave me.

All my life, I have fought many times and have killed many snakes. We have an infinite hatred for each other. The hatred was so deep that we would not stop until one of us died.

Lately I've just learned that it's not just me who has hatred for snakes. It turns out that the other birds also hate the serpents just as the serpents hate my people.

So we continued to fight with the serpents.

Sometimes I would join other birds, but I was more often alone.

Until one day I saw a creature that had wings with four legs on its body that were not too different from snakes."

"Dragon! It must be a dragon! So you ever met a real dragon? Why didn't you ever tell me?" Xika put on an excited face when she heard Huo Bing had met a dragon. But not with Huo Bing who had a bad expression on his face when he heard the name of the creature called. There was even anger in his expression.

"Xika's. Hear me. There is no such thing as a dragon in this world. The dragon is not a real creature."

"But you met him, didn't you?"

Huo Bing did not answer Xika's question, instead her face was getting worse.

He continued his story.

"I felt something strange about the creature. I don't know why I feel like there's something in her body that she shouldn't have. And I realized it.

His wing.

The wings are not his.

His wings were light blue almost as white as ice with a cold aura that occasionally emanated from him."

Xika's expression became changed hearing Huo Bing's story.

"really.

That's my father's wing."

"!!"

Xika's eyes widened hearing Huo Bing's last sentence. He doesn't know what to say.

While Huo Bing had an elusive expression on her face.

"I didn't think long at the time. I attacked the creature. I was about to tear his wings off his body.

But I failed.

That creature is strong enough. Enough to fight 3 of me at full power at the same time."

Xika's expression worsened upon hearing the creature's strength.

"I lost.

Moreover, the creature is not alone. There are some of them. Almost all have the same shape. The only difference is the wings.

I don't know how my father's wings ended up in the creature's hands or what my father's fate was.

I'm so mad. But there's nothing I can do. So I ran away.

The creature tried to stop me, but I was still able to escape from it. But I feel like the creature is just playing around.

He can stop me from running away if he wants to, but he doesn't. And so are his friends. Maybe I'm not strong enough to be considered a threat.

With a hot heart I went and ventured to strengthen myself.

But after a few years I came back and fought the creature again.

The outcome? I'm losing.

I fought the creature myself and I still lost.

I don't know what would happen if I fought them all at the same time."

Huo Bing was silent for a moment looking at Xika's expression.

"You must be wondering, right? What does this story have to do with the two-headed snake yesterday?"

Xika nodded.

"Later I learned that the creature had a family relationship with snakes. My sworn enemy.

And I don't know since when, I only found out after losing against the creature, that snakes have a different way of communicating with the way Ordinary Spirits communicate.

It seems like their cores changed a little because of that way, but I don't know why and how.

And using their cores, information regarding the upper level birds was spread out. Even down to the lowest level snake."

"Although it couldn't help fighting, it could at least share information regarding the location.

That's why I was completely silent and barely helped you at all.

Because once I showed myself, even though the snake was killed, the information about me was already spread out.

But I had to help you then. Your condition makes it impossible to fight the snake. Although the last technique was beyond my expectations.

Though only a glance, but the snake knows where I am."

"What's? So what should we do?"

"We're going to go.

Get out of this forest and don't settle in one place for more than a month."

Xika nodded at Huo Bing's words, then she immediately rushed to take a bath.

As Xika was walking towards the river, Huo Bing threw something at her.

Xika.

It turned out that it was a stick that Huo Bing had made before.

Xika furrowed her brows looking at the stick.

"What the fuck?"

"Take it now. We'll put the terms on hold."

Xika threw the wand back at Huo Bing who was captured smoothly by the bird but with an expression full of question marks.

Xika put up a fighting position.

"Because we're leaving this place, then let's make a memento.

I didn't mean to accept that thing for free anyway. Moreover, I am still curious about your technique and want to learn it."

Huo Bing was silent for a while then sighed.

"alright.

Just one fight. If you win the deal it's still the same as before, but if I win you take that stick and I'll hit you a hundred thousand blows in the future."

"Agreed."

Xika immediately advanced and threw some cards towards Huo Bing.

Huo Bing dodged, but when he looked to where Xika had previously been Xika had already disappeared.

Xika appeared behind Huo Bing with 6 cards arranged into a stick and was burning.

Shortly before the attack hit Huo Bing, Huo Bing made a protector.

Although it passed through the protectors, but Xika's attack still managed to make Huo Bing retreat.

Xika immediately jumped up about to pick up the stick that Huo Bing was holding.

But Huo Bing stopped him by pecking Xika's stomach down.

"Uhh...."

Xika held onto her stomach which was painful. But he didn't stop.

He was constantly attacking Huo Bing, but not blindly.

Huo Bing admitted that Xika had grown a lot in fighting the two-headed snake before. His attacks are getting weird and hard to predict.

But it was still not enough to snatch the scepter from Huo Bing.

Huo Bing flapped his wings several times and the area above Xika of 500 meters was covered by the feathers of Huo Bing.

Then the feathers fell and headed towards Xika.

Xika did not move at all and just smiled waiting for Huo Bing's attack to come.

The wind symbol lit up in Xika's right eye and her entire body was enveloped in a thin wind that deflected every attack of Huo Bing so as not to injure her.

But Huo Bing did not just shut up to see that. He flew and pointed his beak towards Xika which Xika easily avoided.

Suddenly Huo Bing opened his wings.

Xika immediately lowered her head.

There was only a slight pause between Xika's head and Huo Bing's wings.

Xika had not had time to turn around, Huo Bing had already thrown her fur and flew towards Xika.

"Your stone really sucks!"

Xika throws cards to fend off Huo Bing's fur while he takes care of Huo Bing.

They exchanged attacks for a while, but eventually the two of them ran out of steam so as not to dodge anymore.

They attacked each other without regard to defense anymore. They do not care about enemy attacks and only focus on attacking each other.

The two of them both retreated to keep their distance and took a breath.

"One last attack.

How's it?" huo Bing's.

"All right." Xika agreed to it because he also had run out of stamina and qi.

Huo Bing's feathers began to glow a blue red and grew increasingly brighter as Xika gathered her qi on the card she was holding, about to use the Single.

When each of them had finished preparing for the attack, they threw their final attack.

The attack that determines victory or defeat.
