After walking forward for a distance, a rustling sound came from the front.

This time there was no need for Han Li to remind them, as several people stopped at the same time.

"Snakes?"

Dugu Yan looked at Han Li. Han Li smiled and did not answer. Instead, he rose directly into the air and made way for the few people.

"I'll take charge, okay?"

Dugu Yan asked Xiu'er and Shui Bing'er for their opinions.

"Um."

The two nodded at the same time without any objection. In this regard, they were indeed not as knowledgeable as Dugu Yan.

"Bing'er, we'll attack from both sides, and leave the front to Xiu'er."

Dugu Yan flapped her wings decisively and flew up, but Xiu'er did not have the ability to fly.

By the time they had formed their battle formation, the enemy in front of them finally revealed its true appearance.

It was a huge dark red snake, crawling and coiling on the road ahead, swallowing its tongue from time to time.

There are a total of nine protrusions on the head and back of this snake. Each protrusion looks like a bright red mushroom, and there seems to be blood flowing inside.

The snake's belly was particularly large, bulging out on the narrow road, and its body length was at least over ten meters.

The strange snake's tongue slowly rose as it crawled on the narrow road, and its pair of golden-red eyes suddenly became as bright as lanterns.

After seeing the full appearance of the strange snake, Duguyan was stunned in mid-air. What was this thing? A mutated soul beast? She had never seen any related records in any classics.

"Be careful, I don't recognize it, it might be a mutated soul beast. Pay special attention to the tumors on its body."

Dugu Yan spoke to the other two with a serious expression.

"Bing'er, use the ice spear to test it and then attack the tumor area."

Dugu Yan pondered for a moment and then gave instructions to Shui Bing'er.

Considering the environment here, it is far more appropriate to let Shui Bing'er, who has stronger shaping ability than her, use ice elements to condense an ice spear to test it than to use fire to block the vision.

"good."

Hearing her words, Shui Bing'er on the side condensed several milky white ice spears without hesitation and shot at the strange snake that was swimming towards them.

Quack...

Seeing Shui Bing'er's attack, the strange snake made a croaking sound from its mouth, like a baby crying, and the nine tumors on its back began to emit a golden-red glow.

A fiery red light suddenly spurted out from its mouth, carrying a strong fishy smell, and flew quickly towards the ice spear, colliding in mid-air.

After fighting against the flames, the ice spear still stubbornly penetrated the flames, but it did not have much power and was swept away by the monster snake's tail.

"Its fire element is not weak."

Shui Bing'er spoke up to remind them.

"Well, but fire and poison? It's unlucky for them to meet me."

As for other offensive abilities, Dugu Yan was not sure, but fire and poison, coincidentally, were also her strengths.

However, she glanced at the huge body of the monster snake again, and looked at the two wing blades in her hands, which were pitifully small compared to the other.

"Xiu'er, follow me. I will help you intercept the fire poison and energy. I'll leave the attack to you. Bing'er, try to restrict its movements as much as possible and try to get rid of it quickly. Please also take care of Xiu'er's feet."

Shui Bing'er nodded and quickly changed her attack mode. As she flapped her wings, ice elements quickly gathered in the narrow section of the road where the strange snake was, forming a vortex of ice and snow that seemed as solid as a substance, which stuck to it tightly, and the cold air also began to try to invade its body.

Quack, quack, the strange snake's somewhat harsh sound became much louder again.

"Let's go."

Dugu Yan followed the path under his feet and quickly came in front of Xiu'er, with his wing blades across his body, emitting rich fire elements, and rushed towards the direction of the strange snake.

Xiu'er, who was behind her, began to gather her soul power into her claws and followed without saying a word.

The strange snake was still trying to break free from the ice cage that Shui Bing'er had prepared for it, but after sensing the breath of the two people, it decisively stopped struggling.

The snake's head turned suddenly, and a poisonous flame sprayed towards the two people. Moreover, it was quite cunning. The flame came from the ground and quickly spread along the narrow road under its feet towards the two people.

Its attack was not directed at Dugu Yan at all, but at Xiu'er behind her. The strange snake also discovered that only the girl at the back had no wings behind her, so she probably had no ability to fly.

"wishful thinking."

Dugu Yan naturally also noticed its intention. She snorted coldly and increased her speed again. Scarlet flames gushed out from her wings, and she actually dived straight into them.

Then, under the somewhat puzzled gaze of the strange snake, the wing blades in her hands accepted all the attacks and quickly devoured the poisonous flames.

Quack——

Another shrill cry was heard, and the strange snake actually coiled up its body, its streamlined muscles contracted, but its upper body turned around quickly.

"Are you trying to escape?"

Han Li and Dugu Bo, who were standing in the air, looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Not only the two of them, but also Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er in front of them were stunned for a moment. Isn't this a test? How can the guard escape?

However, Shui Bing'er reacted quickly and no longer spared the consumption of her soul power. Three solid ice walls appeared behind the strange snake and she slammed it down hard.

However, something unexpected happened. At the moment the ice wall appeared, the strange snake turned its upper body again at an extremely fast speed, and the coiled body below exerted force suddenly and shot out in the direction of Dugu Yan and Xiu'er, and once again opened its mouth and spewed out a poisonous flame at Dugu Yan.

Judging from where it landed, the strange snake seemed to be aiming at the narrow path between the two people.

Its target was the narrow path under its feet, it was Xiu'er. It actually tried to destroy the terrain here and kill one person directly.

"This thing is really smart."

A hint of doubt flashed across Dugu Bo's eyes in mid-air. This soul beast was much smarter than the snake-like soul beasts he had encountered before.

"Well, it is a prehistoric beast after all. With this title, it can't just not show any performance at all."

Han Li also shook his head and said with a smile, putting aside its combat power, among soul beasts, it is indeed considered to be quite clever.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

However, he had no intention of attacking. If it was just an attack like this, Sister Xiu'er would not be afraid at all.

Sure enough, the moment the strange snake fell, Xiu'er guessed its intention.

Her face became slightly solemn, and her soul power began to gather at the soles of her feet. She actually took the initiative to meet the enemy.

"Explosive Step."

A delicate cry came out of Xiu'er's mouth.

With a loud bang, the narrow path under her feet was shattered by her under the tremendous force, and she also reversed her previous relatively slow movement speed and soared into the sky like a cannonball.

Although her body was slightly petite, her right claw glowed with purple-gold light and with a fierce momentum, she slapped directly at the giant snake's head.

Quack——

There was a hint of ferocity in the eyes of the strange snake, and the nine golden-red tumors on its back became brighter and brighter.

It actually arched its upper body in mid-air without any strength, the tumor shattered directly, and nine streams of golden-red liquid suddenly shot out from it.

The most peculiar thing was that the liquid melted into one after being ejected, turning into a golden-red ball the size of a fist, and then smashed towards Xiu'er.

The inner elixir appeared, and Han Li tensed his body, ready to attack at any time. He was really afraid that Xiu'er would slap the thing to pieces.

"Sister Xiu'er, ice surface and icicles."

Just as he was about to move, Shui Bing'er's voice came from the side, with a rare hint of anger in her voice.

This snake actually played a trick on her just now, which made her a little angry╰_╯.

As soon as Shui Bing'er's voice fell, Xiu'er understood what she meant. She also realized the danger of the small golden-red bead.

Xiu'er decisively gave up her original attack plan, reached out to grab the icicle that also existed beside her, and smashed it towards the golden-red ball.

Similarly, Dugu Yan, who was below, had also dealt with the poisonous flames and nodded to Xiu'er.

Xiu'er immediately adjusted the angle and changed the direction of the golden red ball to where Dugu Yan was.

clang

As soon as the two came into contact, a large amount of steam was generated, which for a moment completely obscured Xiu'er's figure. However, under the influence of the force, the golden-red ball still flew towards Dugu Yan.

Quack——

A shrill cry different from the previous one came out of the monster snake's mouth, but now it was in mid-air and was somewhat helpless. It could only watch the golden-red ball fly to its side and rear.

However, the next second, its cry stopped abruptly.

Because Xiu'er's figure rushed out from the steam again, and although she was clearly in mid-air, she walked on flat ground as if she were on the ground, waving her right paw again and hitting its head.

Under Xiu'er's feet, Shui Bing'er had paved an ice passage with ice at some point, supported by icicles from below, leading all the way to her feet. It was even thoughtfully treated with anti-slip treatment.

The most terrifying thing was that on the narrow road below, a sharp ice needle-shaped icicle about five or six meters long was gradually taking shape.

Then, the strange snake had nowhere to hide and was hit by Xiu'er's claw, and most of its head was broken.

Just as the whole snake curled up into a ball and had not yet been knocked away by the huge force, Xiu'er grabbed its tail with her left hand and pulled it back, aimed the seven-inch position at the ice needle and smashed it down hard.

Blood splattered, and the whole snake was split into two halves as it fell, falling into the pool of blood below.

The narrow path below was supported by the ice, so although it was a little shaky, it did not break directly.

This scene made Han Li and Dugu Bo shudder and look at each other in bewilderment.

Sure enough, the year of living in the City of Slaughter did bring about some changes in them.

And below, seeing that the battle was over, Dugu Yan cast his gaze towards the golden-red ball in his hand and swallowed his saliva.

She had the urge to swallow this golden-red ball directly.
