Chapter 475: Tiger Appears
Is the Sea Snake considered a Snake Demon or a Sea Monster? This is a question.
And now, the Sea Snake naturally stands on the side of the Snake Clan. It stirs up trouble in the sea, attempting to create a whirlpool to trap Zhang Chi and the others.
Ao Wu immediately snorted, "Daring to show off such insignificant skills!"
She maintained her human form and released several invisible tentacles, stirring up the sea to form towering waves, instantly annihilating the Sea Snake's whirlpool.
Seeing Ao Wu's bravery, She Shi Shi was also astonished. Such a powerful Sea Monster, the Divine Ability spell used by a Monster Sovereign of the same level was completely no match for her single attack.
"Let's attack together!"
She Shi Shi had a relatively high status in the clan, so she came out as the leader. In fact, her cultivation was the lowest, so after saying that, she quickly retreated behind the others.
This time, the Snake Clan dispatched five Great Monster Emperors, which can be considered a heavy blow. Only She Shi Shi was a weakling.
Without She Shi Shi's reminder, they also knew that they needed to seize the opportunity to surround the Sea Snake.
"What should we do? I can handle two at most, can you handle three?"
Facing so many enemies, Ao Wu also felt the pressure.
As Monster Sovereigns, she had not yet reached the peak of her cultivation. Being a young Monster Sovereign, she was even younger than Ao Long, but she was already capable of dealing with two opponents of the same level, which was quite impressive.
But the enemy was not playing fair, actually sending so many people to pursue them.
Are they launching an all-out attack?
Shouldn't normal villains have an outsourcing policy?
To this, Zhang Chi directly replied, "Let's run away quickly, we can't fight them at all! I'll turn off the lights, you spray water, and we'll dive together."
Zhang Chi thought of the best strategy.
Gu Youyou's Divine Ability and Ao Wu's ink alone might find it difficult to escape, but combining the two might still have a chance.
After a brief discussion of tactics, Zhang Chi directly displayed his Divine Ability and possessed a substitute.
Gu Youyou did not hesitate either and directly released her Divine Ability.
Controlling five powerhouses at the same time, Gu Youyou also felt a lot of pressure.
Ao Wu quickly took over, spewing out a mouthful of ink, and then quickly entangling Long Yan and the others with her tentacles, pulling them directly into the sea.
Stopping the enemy was the first step, and the underwater battle was the second step.
In theory, they had already reached this point, and there was no deep-seated hatred between them. Why bother to pursue relentlessly?
However, She Shi Shi ordered, "Chase!"
The five Great Monster Emperors quickly took action and chased after Ao Wu and the others.
Even if they were not Sea Monsters, at the level of Monster Sovereign, going up the mountains or diving into the sea was not difficult.
It was just that they couldn't fully display their strength in the sea.
Zhang Chi sensed all of this from a distance and couldn't help but curse.
"These Snake Demons hold grudges too much. Just rejecting their advances, is there a need for such deep resentment?"
The most outrageous thing was that these Monster Sovereigns actually listened to the command of a small lackey. Who does she think she is?
Zhang Chi didn't know, but although She Shi Shi was not a second-generation member, she had once had a high-ranking person predict her future and said that she would bring glory to the clan.
The Snake Clan was still somewhat skeptical, thinking that She Shi Shi might just be good at management.
Until they discovered the Immortal Weapon because of She Shishi, the Snake Clan completely believed in the skill of fortune-telling and believed that She Shishi would bring glory to their clan.
Therefore, She Shishi was sent to an important position to shine and have a high level of influence within the clan.
Unfortunately, the Snake Clan suffered due to their lack of education. They didn't know the most basic common sense in the human world, which is that the secrets of fate should not be revealed.
Calculating objects, not people, is the strategy for survival.
If someone can tell fortunes for others, without a doubt, they are frauds.
The Snake Clan has never received any anti-fraud propaganda, and even if someone presents solid evidence that the experts are fake, the Snake Clan will not believe it.
Regardless of whether fortune-telling is real or not, our Immortal Weapon cannot be faked.
The five Monster Sovereigns of the Snake Clan are wholeheartedly executing She Shishi's requests, and they have no intention of slacking off. Under their relentless pursuit, Ao Wu and the others find themselves in increasingly difficult circumstances.
"It won't work. Only the two of us might be able to escape. Bringing along a few burdens will slow us down."
Ao Wu spoke the truth. She would have to allocate some of her power to protect Long Yan and the others. Their ability to survive in the deep sea is very poor, and Tang Ruoling, who has the lowest cultivation level, might be killed by the residual effects of the enemy's spells.
"Leave us behind and save yourselves."
Long Yan's words were not insincere. At this point, if they all tried to escape together, they would all die. By abandoning them, at least two of them could survive.
Rather than dying together, it's better to leave some hope.
Tang Ruoling shared the same view. Zi Mian didn't say anything; she was the master's slave and would follow the master's arrangements.
"What do you think?"
Ao Wu was already considering it. If they could get rid of these burdens, she would be able to lighten her load and ensure her own survival.
However, she still needed to consider Zhang Chi's opinion. If Zhang Chi didn't cooperate, it would be very difficult for her to escape.
Although Ao Wu was a martial arts fanatic, she wasn't completely ignorant of human affairs. At this critical moment, the only person she could rely on and trust was Zhang Chi. If they had conflicts over other matters and lost the support of their ally, it would be like seeking a path to death.
Facing such a crisis, Gu Youyou had no other options.
"I will do my best and can kill three of them. If Ao Wu can really handle two, then after I enter a deep sleep, there should be a chance to escape."
"I must say, my Youyou, you are truly amazing!"
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's praise, Gu Youyou decided to fight desperately against the snake demons.
However, Zhang Chi quickly took control of his body, and Gu Youyou immediately severed the connection.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Youyou was furious. She was ready to show off, but Zhang Chi forcefully interrupted her, leaving her with a feeling of being stuck in limbo.
"You are clearly a member of the Demon Race, so why do you always act like you're sacrificing yourself to save the world? Have you made a mistake somewhere?"
Zhang Chi's sarcasm left Gu Youyou speechless.
At a time like this, why are you still playing with words? Is it fun to play with words?
"The task of saving the world should be left to the protagonist. You, as a demon, should rest well and not exhaust yourself every time. Although I don't know what price I will pay for entering a deep sleep, there must be one.
You have already sacrificed enough. Let me handle it this time."
"You..."
She suspected that Zhang Chi had been possessed by a ghost.
Since she had fallen into a deep sleep last time, Zhang Chi had clearly changed. He became much kinder to others, caring about them more, and seemed to have developed some special feelings towards her.
Before, he would make wishes every day, waiting for his turn to do more work. But now, he hardly assigned any tasks to himself.
Every day, I would chat with her to keep her entertained. Although Zhang Chi's chat was indeed infuriating, it was also quite interesting.
But this time, he prevented himself from depleting his source and fighting the enemy.
Gu Youyou became more and more suspicious. This Zhang Chi, something's not right!
Could it be that he has fallen in love with me?
A thought flashed through Gu Youyou's mind, and she was instantly shocked.
The more she thought about it, the more she found the answer. Yes, he must have fallen in love with me.
Before, they had never met, and there was always a barrier between Zhang Chi and her. Now that they have met in the Lingtai, with her beauty, Zhang Chi...
"This guy, no way!"
Gu Youyou was already feeling shy.
But now was not the time to be shy. The enemy's attack was imminent. If she continued to hesitate, she might not be able to protect Zhang Chi and the people around him.
What does Zhang Chi want to do? He is reluctant to let himself sleep, but if he dies, she doesn't know what will happen.
Gu Youyou couldn't bear such a risk.
Zhang Chi showed no signs of panic. This state also made Gu Youyou choose to trust Zhang Chi and not fight for control of his body.
Even if she wanted to fight, she couldn't win. After all, this body belonged to Zhang Chi.
"I have always had a very simple way of escaping. This time, it's time to show my true skills. Secret Realm, open!"
In the center of Zhang Chi's brow, he suddenly discovered a golden pattern of a small cauldron. The golden light became brighter and it seemed like a portal was about to open.
The pursuers behind saw this change and panicked. They rushed forward, wanting to stop Zhang Chi.
Not knowing what the opponent's ultimate move was, interrupting his preparations would be a mistake.
These Snake Clan members really have no sense of martial ethics!
Zhang Chi's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Ao Wu, preparing to jump into the Secret Realm.
However, when he jumped, Zhang Chi didn't manage to enter the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm. Instead, he heard a thunderous tiger roar.
A golden tiger leaped out of the Secret Realm, its voice loud and intimidating.
For some reason, when Zhang Chi's eyes met the eyes of the golden tiger, he felt that the other party was not just a simple illusion, but more like a spiritual being.
This spirit was very familiar, but Zhang Chi just couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Chi didn't notice that he was being mentally disturbed by a Divine Ability, while Gu Youyou was immersed in the idea that Zhang Chi might have fallen in love with her, feeling conflicted.
The Demon Race is skilled at playing with emotions, and she was ready to give up all emotions.
Gu Youyou had always thought that she, as a Demon Race, had no emotions, but Zhang Chi's words made her start to doubt herself.
If she had no emotions, why would she subconsciously want to protect the people around Zhang Chi?
Protecting Zhang Chi could be understood, after all, he was her host. But what did the people around Zhang Chi have to do with her?
She thought this way subconsciously, completely considering it from Zhang Chi's perspective.
Could it be that I also have feelings for him?
When Gu Youyou thought of this, she became so shy that she went crazy in the Lingtai.
She was going crazy, so naturally she didn't realize that Zhang Chi had fallen into a trap.
After all, this trap didn't have any malicious intent and wouldn't harm Zhang Chi. It was just hiding some information from him.
Jin Ling'er didn't want Zhang Chi to know that she was just a spirit and had already recognized him as her master.
The more one cares about something, the more they want to conceal it, like Jin Ling'er's identity as a spiritual vessel. She does care about it to some extent.
Feeling Zhang Chi's call to the Golden Cauldron, she responded immediately, combining her thoughts with the power of the Golden Cauldron to transform into a fierce tiger and rush out, ensuring Zhang Chi's safety.
The golden light protected Zhang Chi and the others, and Jin Ling'er took the opportunity to glance at Ao Wu.
Hmm, she just casually glanced, and saw a beautiful person.
Heh, as expected of you!
The young ladies at home were anxious because of Zhang Chi's disappearance. Some lost their sense of propriety, while others desperately cultivated. Meanwhile, Zhang Chi was here, getting to know a new beautiful sister.
Hello, very well indeed!
The snake demons who caught up and saw the sudden appearance of the golden tiger were shocked and instinctively stopped their actions. Before they could react, a clear phoenix cry suddenly sounded from the direction of the Southern Continent, as if it had been stimulated by the golden tiger. Above the Southern Continent, some kind of existence was awakened.
This clear and melodious cry seemed provocative, and Jin Ling'er sensed its meaning and responded with a roar.
She roughly knew what she was responding to, most likely one of the holy beasts, the Vermilion Bird.
Her roar was also a response to the Vermilion Bird.
In the snake tribe's territory, the snake people were secretly developing an ancient and simple small cauldron when suddenly it ignited.
Even though they hadn't touched this red cauldron, their bodies spontaneously burst into flames.
It truly ignited.
"Quick, retreat!"
The snake elders realized the danger and started to flee frantically. However, the red cauldron emitted a bright light, and the spread of the flames was much faster than their escape speed.
The dormant red cauldron suddenly awakened, unleashing a power that mortal beings couldn't resist. Anyone who approached the red cauldron, below the Monster Sovereign level, was burned to ashes. Even the Monster Sovereigns suffered heavy injuries, with fire poison running rampant in their bodies.
Snakes are cold-blooded creatures, and being burned by fire is unimaginable.
By the seaside, She Shishi was gazing at the sea, waiting for the senior members of the clan to report on the battle situation. Five Monster Sovereigns capturing one Monster Sovereign, the advantage was on her side. It was only a matter of time before they caught Zhang Chi...
She Shishi was already eagerly rubbing her hands together.
At this moment, a tiger's roar and the wind's howl shook her spirit, but she didn't think it had anything to do with the snake tribe.
With nothing else to do, her eyes wandered around.
"Eh? Is someone's house on fire? Such a big smoke!"
She Shishi stood by the seaside, watching the spectacle.
But as she watched, she suddenly couldn't find it funny anymore.
After carefully judging the direction, wasn't this the direction of the snake tribe's territory?
"It's impossible, there's so much water over there, how could it catch fire?"
She Shishi still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. The fire of the Vermilion Bird, how could ordinary water resist it?
Even water could be ignited by the fire of the Vermilion Bird.
The surviving members of the snake tribe had finally escaped from the brink of extinction. Seeing several old folks around them, some of whom couldn't withstand the fire poison and were burned to death, the elders' faces were filled with sorrow.
"For the sake of a cauldron, we've come close to the annihilation of our tribe. She Shishi! Wasn't she supposed to lead our tribe to glory?"
One elder couldn't accept such a blow and couldn't help but vent his anger on She Shishi.
It was because of She Shishi and the others that they obtained this red cauldron. They were promised glory, but now the snakes in the tribe were all burned to ashes.
Glory, has it turned to ashes, turned yellow?
