Xika ran along with Xingli with the living water snake in her hand.

Xika ran without direction while Xingli just followed her silently behind.

Suddenly the water snake hissed.

"Oh, ssss....."

Sontak Xika looked at his hand and just remembered that he had not killed the water snake that was in his hand.

"Damn!"

Xika grabbed the water snake to death and threw it somewhere.

Suddenly Xika stopped and made Xingli almost hit him.

Faintly, Xika could hear the sound of the snake's hiss from afar.

"Damn!"

Xika looked around looking for a hiding place. Finally, he decided to climb a tree.

"Xinelli! Comeoverhere. Climb this tree. Slowly. Right, rightly so. Don't make a sound."

After she finished helping Xingli climb the tree, Xika climbed another tree not too far from the tree Xingli was climbing.

Xingli and Xika faced each other.

Xingi simply looked at Xika while Xika placed her index finger on her lips telling her to be quiet.

They both remained silent for a while.

Then the sound of a beast was heard. Along with the sound of the beast approaching, there was also the sound of hissing that made Xika's expression even worse.

Xingli began to feel something was amiss after seeing Xika's worsening expression.

Not long after, the creature that issued the hiss was seen before.

And Xika's guess is right. Anyone could have guessed that the animal was a snake.

But what is unexpected Xika is the size of the animal.

The size of the animal was roughly the size of Heiliao before he became an egg.

Perhaps if the snake straightened its entire body it would be twice the length of the tree that Xika and Xingli were climbing.

But the creature did not do it. He just slightly raised his head then turned his head left and right as if looking for something or rather someone.

After searching for a while yet still not finding its prey, the snake moved away.

Xika and Xingli held their breath as long as the snake was below them.

They still did not move for a while even though the snake was gone.

After being convinced that the snake was gone, then Xika and Xingli could breathe a sigh of relief.

Xika sighed in relief while Xingli looked at her full of questions. Xingli had already guessed that Xika was the one the snake was looking for.

The question in his mind was why the snake was looking for him and how he could know that the snake was coming.

"I know-I know. I'll kujelask-"

Xika's words stopped to see a long creature that was coiled in the tree where she was.

"Satv...."

Xika had no time to act, the snake was already hissing.

Xika immediately jumped down because she felt it would be difficult to fight the snake in her area of power.

Meeting a medium-sized snake in a tree that he used as a hiding place was indeed beyond Xika's expectations, but there were other things he did not expect.

That is, the small hiss of the snake that is now in front of him can call back the previous big snake.

But at this time Xika was still unaware of the danger of that hissing. So he still stood quietly in front of the medium-sized snake.

Xika threw some cards that the snake easily avoided.

But the snake moved according to Xika's estimation. He threw the card in a pattern and the snake went into his trap.

From under the snake, the ground rose and stopped itself from moving.

Xika took another card from under her cloak then slashed the snake in two.

He breathed a sigh of relief then was about to call Xingli down.

But before he could do that sounded again the same hiss as before.

Xika's expression immediately worsened.

He had no time to escape and the great serpent that had looked for him before was now in front of him sticking out his tongue.

"Damn!"

"........."

"Ssssssssss."

Xika and the snake stared at each other.

Then a voice sounded in his head. But that voice was not the voice of Huo Bing that he yearned for, but rather a rather heavy sounding voice.

"Where is he? Where's she?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Don't pretend not to know. I know you're the man he's been with. Tell me where he is or you'll die."

"Stupid. I told you or not you'd kill me, right? Are all snakes this stupid?"

"Hehehe. But if you tell me where he is then I'll give him a quick and painless death."

"Where do you know it doesn't hurt? Have you ever experienced it?"

The snake hissed irritatedly at Xika's words and opened its jaws to swallow Xika roundly.

"Singles!"

Xika's successful attack hit the snake and made him let out a painful hiss but it wasn't enough to kill him.

Xika jumped back to keep her distance after successfully carrying out the attack.

He makes eye contact and sends his voice to Xika so that the snake is unaware of Xingli's whereabouts.

"Do you know where the nearest town is with a strong enough cultivator?"

Xingli thought for a while then sent her voice to Xika.

"About five kilometers to the north."

Xika thought for a while then clicked her tongue. He was about to flee to a nearby town so that the snake would not chase him to some extent. But the distance is too far. Indeed he could fly to shorten the time, but he could only fly for a few hours before his qi ran out.

At the very least, he only took half the journey. And after he ran out of energy, the snake was able to prey on him calmly. So it's definitely not a good choice.

Xika was still thinking of a way to escape this snake in front of her, but she saw Xingli was about to attack the snake.

"Hey fucking Snake! Is my attack too painful for you to withstand?"

Unknowingly, Xika yelled and lured the snake so that Xingli would not attack her.

Xingli looked at her questioningly while Xika sent a voice at Xingli.

"Not to think of me. You just run first. Maybe it's time we parted ways. If the sky permits, we will meet again. At that time I will confirm my destiny with you."

Xingli silently heard Xika's words. Then his face flushed to hear Xika's last sentence. But he could not capture the meaning of Xika's last sentence clearly because that was exactly what Xika wanted.

After calming his heart that was somehow pounding, he saw Xika.

But he discovers that Xika is already far enough away from him and the big snake is still chasing him.

Xingli smiled small, tiny, almost invisible.

"Xing Xika, if the heavens allow it then we will meet again. At that moment let's make sure our destiny is together."

Then Xingli jumped from one tree to another and headed in the opposite direction to Xika.

Xika did not see the small smile that appeared on Xingli's face. But he was quite relieved the girl was not stubborn and fought the snake with him. He had already borrowed pills from Xingli, he did not want to owe the girl any more. But he completely forgot that he had saved Xingli twice.

The first of the strange animal enclosures within the Heiliao black hole, the second of Heiliao himself. It was certain that Xingli would end up dead if he insisted on fighting Heiliao. Although the reason Xingli fought with Heiliao was Xika herself.

Xika ran across the trees about to make the snake confused and stop chasing after her. But it didn't work. The snake followed him.

Occasionally Xika would throw her cards to block the sight of the big snake, but it could only slow her down for a while and then she returned to chase after Xika.

Xika had also tried doing Singles again, but the fatigue from doing the technique was greater than the damage the snake had received, so he stopped doing the technique.

No need to mention Double, the result will definitely be the same as Single.

And now Xika ran out of sense to escape from the big snake that was chasing her behind.

Xika jumped on the branch of a tree. He paused for a while until the snake almost ate him, then jumped again to another branch of the tree. The snake smashed the tree that blocked its path.

Xika did so repeatedly, hoping that the snake would run out of energy and stop chasing after her.

But it seemed that the snake had an energy beyond his estimation. The snake showed no signs of stopping or fatigue after destroying more than 20 large trees.

Instead, it was Xika who was exhausted.

Jumping in the last seconds is quite draining energy both physical and mental.

Xika was getting tired but the snake kept chasing her.

Suddenly something moved behind his cloak.

Xika examines it and discovers that it is the egg of the Heiliao galaxy. He took the egg but it kept moving as if he wanted to break away from Xika.

"Damn, wait a minute. Whatever you want to do, this is not the right time."

Finished Xika spoke, the egg moved even harder and finally released from Xika's hand.

"Hey!"

The egg floated from Xika's hand and towards the large snake that was chasing Xika behind.

The sight of snakes is not good. They detect their prey through the body temperature emitted from their prey. And the huge snake that was chasing Xika was no different either.

The egg did not give off any heat at all so the snake did not notice it.

The egg continued to fly until it finally hit the snake.

And what happened next greatly shocked Xika.

The egg pierced through the snake's head, even Xika could see what was behind the snake from the hole made by the egg.

The snake immediately fell and died. But the egg is still floating. He floated on top of the big snake and absorbed the snake.

Moments later, all that was left of the snake was its bones.

Xika was speechless to see what the egg was doing.

Then the egg flew back towards Xika and Xika kept it under her cloak. This time the egg felt heavier than before.

Xika approached the remaining bones and stored them in a spatial ring.

He immediately sat on the ground as soon as he finished putting the snake in.

He was very tired, but he smiled.

He thought back to his unexpected separation with Xingli. Just like his unexpected meeting, so was their separation. He can't wait for their next meeting. Xika had a premonition that they would meet again someday.

Xika did not know how Xingli's reaction was when she heard that he would confirm his destiny with Xingli, but Xika was sure that the expression Xingli showed was worth seeing.

After resting for a while, Xika stood up and looked towards the north.

From Xingli, he learned of the location of the nearby city that was his current destination.

Since Huo Bing was still not awake, Xika was forced to make up her own mind. He wanted to stay in the city for a while. At least the city could prevent the snakes that were eyeing him from finding him.

So Xika walked towards the north, not too slow but also not too fast.

Suddenly he smiled considering his encounter with Xingli.

"Yin Xingli, one day we will meet again. I'm sure."
