"Hiss...hiss!"
The hissing sounds echoed through the jungle, sending chills down one's spine.
In a clearing surrounded by jungle, there were six figures, two large and four small. Lu Jun and Dean Chi Huo had already possessed their martial spirits, but they had no intention of attacking.
He simply surrounded the four children behind him, watching their surroundings warily.
Snakes of varying lengths and colors were densely packed on the ground and in the forest, their tongues flicking and hissing.
Countless pairs of vertical pupils stared intently at Lu Jun and his group, poised to strike. There was no doubt that if they found even the slightest opening, the swarm of snakes would pounce.
"This is really troublesome..." Lu Jun frowned.
His martial spirit is the Black Sun Falcon, which gives him the ability to fly.
If he wanted to run away, these snakes couldn't stop him.
But at most he can take Ye Lingling and Feng Xiaotian away; the people from Blazing Fire Academy on the other side will definitely die here.
He had spoken with Dean Chi Huo, who did not possess any flying soul skills.
Faced with this dense swarm of snakes, all of which are spirit beasts, even a Soul Douluo might not be able to escape unscathed, let alone with two burdens in tow.
Of course, if the situation really becomes critical, he will not hesitate for a moment and will leave with Ye Lingling and Feng Xiaotian without hesitation.
He is waiting here now, hoping that Xiao Chenyu and the Porcupine Douluo will return soon.
With the strength and ability to fight groups of snakes, the Porcupine Douluo could easily clear out the snakes present.
"Brother Lu, if the situation is urgent, I have a request."
The Blazing Fire Dean behind him spoke, and the flames around him intensified, with eight spirit rings floating around him.
His martial soul is the same as Huo Wushuang's, a one-horned fire tyrannical dragon martial soul. When he unleashes his full power, he can withstand a few moves from a titled Douluo.
"Speak."
Lu Jun's cold eyes were fixed on the depths of the jungle, a hint of apprehension in them.
A group of snake-like spirit beasts that are thousands to tens of thousands of years old is not enough to make the two Soul Douluos so wary.
What they feared most was the unknown snake king in the jungle.
This horde of snakes and beasts is clearly being controlled by a soul beast.
The snake king behind it has at least 50,000 years of cultivation.
This level of being is enough to contend with a human Soul Douluo, and if combined with a swarm of snakes, it would be enough to leave a Soul Douluo behind.
“If it becomes too strong, I will do my best to hold it off along with the swarm of snakes. Please, Brother Lu, take my two children and leave,” Dean Chi Huo said solemnly.
"father!"
Upon hearing Dean Chi Huo's words, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, standing beside him, spoke almost in unison, their voices filled with urgency:
"If you don't leave, we won't leave either."
"Listen to me, or we'll all die here," Dean Blazing Fire said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, the snakes began to move, accompanied by a sharp hiss.
Upon hearing the scream, Dean Chi Huo and Lu Jun felt dizzy and were both startled, realizing something was wrong.
Fortunately, both Lu Jun and Dean Chi Huo were experienced individuals. Dean Chi Huo's seventh spirit ring lit up immediately, and a huge phantom of a fire dragon rose behind him, with high-temperature flames sweeping outwards to block the swarm of snakes that rushed forward.
Lu Jun, meanwhile, retreated to the protection of Dean Chi Huo and retrieved the four children who had been knocked unconscious.
The previous mental attack was too sudden; they had no idea they were prepared.
Moreover, even if they are prepared, mental attacks are invisible and intangible, and since they are not good at them, they are completely unable to resist them.
"Die, you scum!!"
With a fire-type tyrannosaurus spirit, Dean Blaze is clearly not a person with a good temper.
With his children falling into a coma, he became even more irritable.
Black spirit rings lit up one after another, and a phantom of a fire dragon behind him spewed out high-temperature flames, scorching the surroundings.
At this point, no one cares about setting fire to the forest; dealing with the snakes is the priority now.
To Dean Chi Huo's surprise, a large group of Water Serpents crawled out of the jungle. These were blue snakes, as thick as an adult's upper arm, and had the ability to spray water.
Facing the raging sea of fire unleashed by Dean Blazing Fire, the Water Serpents opened their blood-red maws 180 degrees, spewing out jets of water like clear springs.
A single column of water is as insignificant as a drop in the ocean of fire.
However, the thick water columns formed by hundreds or thousands of water snakes resembled towering waves rising from the ground, actually standing shoulder to shoulder with the sea of fire.
Water and fire collided, creating a large cloud of mist that gradually spread across the entire battlefield.
"retreat!"
With Dean Chi Huo's roar, Lu Jun did not hesitate at all. He took on two enemies with one hand, and with the black wings on his back flapping, he shot directly from the ground into the sky.
What he needs to do now is to take a few younger ones away from the battlefield and support Dean Blazing Fire; that can be done later.
Even if they encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Dean Blazing Fire could at least keep up with it, if not escape.
But Lu Jun, who had just taken off from the ground, had a drastic change in expression.
From the distant jungle, a snake's tail, thicker than a cartwheel, lashed out like lightning.
Normally, Lu Jun wouldn't be afraid at all.
But if he gets bogged down now, he won't be able to leave with Ye Lingling and the others.
Gritting his teeth, Lu Jun completely ignored the serpent's tail shooting towards him and flew upwards with all his might.
Even if he gets hit, he will send the four smaller ones out first.
Bang!!!
The giant tail slammed into Lu Jun, sending him flying to the side. Fortunately, he was prepared and managed to stop in time, without dropping the person he was holding.
"Wow..."
Lu Jun spat out a mouthful of blood, but felt strange.
Despite taking such a heavy blow from the snake's tail, he only suffered minor injuries. Could it be that the hidden snake king is only skilled in mental attacks?
Before he could figure it out, a rough voice came from beside him:
"Little Falcon, hurry up and take your men and get out of here. That really hurt."
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Jun, like a desert traveler who had longed for rain, turned around with great joy.
Sure enough, the Porcupine Douluo was already standing not far away from him, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the actions of the Porcupine Douluo, and Qian Renxue and Xiao Chenyu flying in the air behind him, Lu Jun immediately understood.
This is Xiao Chenyu's second soul skill. It was thanks to this soul skill that he was not seriously injured in one go.
"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles, so it's perfect timing since someone's here and I can get some exercise!"
The Porcupine Douluo grinned as his Martial Soul was activated, his joints creaking, and his face was full of fighting spirit.
Since following Xiao Chenyu, things have been comfortable, but I haven't had many fights, and the opponents I've faced have all been trash.
The most intense attack occurred more than half a year ago when Xiao Chenyu was attacked and killed a Soul Saint from the Star Luo Empire.
Having a snake-type spirit beast that isn't too weak can be considered a warm-up battle.
"boom!!!"
After the true form of the blood-red pufferfish appeared, the Porcupine Douluo stomped the ground hard and charged towards the dense forest where the Snake King was like a cannonball.
