Chapter 365: Fighting the Six-Headed Snake Lizard (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Votes)

~11 min read 2,050 words

The night grew deeper, the sun slowly sank in the west, and it was the time when all sounds were about to fall silent and all living things were about to drift into peaceful slumber.

But... the intense battle completely destroyed all this tranquility.

Boom, boom, boom!

The roaring sound of the collision woke the creatures on the seabed, the burst of flames illuminated most of the sea surface, and countless Sea Beasts scattered and fled under this scene that was like a natural disaster.

And at the center of this storm, the scene was even more miserable.

The armor on Mo Qi's back was shattered directly, leaving a fist-sized bloody hole not far from his heart, and the beating of his heart could be faintly seen.

That was when he was fighting one of the snake heads, and was ambushed from behind by another snake head.

If he hadn't reacted in time and dodged at the critical moment, he would have been swallowed whole by that giant mouth!

But even so, wounded as he was, he could no longer charge at the front as before, and could only retreat to regroup with Luzhi and the others, the three of them together blocking four heads.

Although Cang Lan was fighting two snake heads alone without falling behind, she didn't look much better.

Her entire body had been stained by purple blood, and from time to time, the sound of corrosive burning could be heard on her skin, with purple-black smoke rising.

However, that was not her blood, but the poisonous blood sprayed from the body of the Six-Headed Snake Lizard.

This poisonous blood, a single drop of which was enough to kill an ordinary wild beast, could not slow down Cang Lan's attacks at all, other than making her look extremely disheveled.

The wolf-tooth spear in Cang Lan's hand thrust out incessantly, piercing the Snake Lizard's body every time and bringing out large chunks of flesh and blood.

But the damage she could inflict was merely this much.

In Luzhi's calculations, although this Void Refinement Great Demon was strong, it was not a match for the four of them joining forces.

On this point, he calculated correctly.

Although this Snake Lizard was a powerful Void Refinement exotic beast, it was clearly a wild one that hadn't received any inheritance, and it didn't have any particularly powerful techniques.

And the four of them, although they appeared to have Spirit Transformation strength, were each a prodigy of their clan, possessing top-tier cultivation methods, skills, and magic treasures; they were prodigies armed to the teeth.

From the configuration, they were countless times stronger than the Snake Lizard.

The facts were indeed so; with the few of them joining forces, they quickly took control of the situation and suppressed the Snake Lizard firmly.

However, the subsequent plot did not develop according to Luzhi's plan.

He miscalculated one point.

The vitality of the Six-Headed Snake Lizard far exceeded their imagination!

The regeneration speed of this exotic beast had reached an incredible level; even if a head was chopped off, it could quickly regenerate a new one.

The Six-Headed Snake Lizard looked extremely miserable at this moment; four of the six heads had been newly grown once, and one had even regenerated three times!

But even so, the Six-Headed Snake Lizard still tenaciously resisted their strangulation, and could even make quite fatal counterattacks from time to time.

Cang Lan and the others could defeat the Snake Lizard, but they had no way to kill it completely!

Moreover, an even worse point was that after nearly half an hour of fierce fighting, their energy had begun to decline, while the opponent, despite looking miserable, was still as vigorous as a dragon or tiger.

If they really fell into a war of attrition, they would definitely not be the Snake Lizard's match!

So, what should be done?

Should they let it go after defeating it?

This thought was immediately rejected by Luzhi as soon as it appeared.

"No, that won't do."

This battle was a precious opportunity to prove their own value to His Highness the Crown Prince, so it must be fought beautifully.

Not to mention that he himself wouldn't agree, the others wouldn't agree either!

This battle could only end with the death of the Snake Lizard.

Furthermore, they could not ask His Highness the Crown Prince for help; that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Then there was only one path left before them: to continue searching for the Snake Lizard's fatal weakness.

"Unlike my initial thought, every one of these heads has been destroyed once; the heads are not its weakness."

"If ordinary fatal wounds don't work, then where would the true weakness be?"

The heart? The torso? The tail? Or...

There were still many places to suspect, and many attempts needed to be made, but Luzhi was not flustered, because their trump cards had not all been revealed yet.

"Hahahaha!"

After fighting for a long time, the six heads of the Snake Lizard suddenly burst into wild laughter at the same time.

Its six snake heads spoke simultaneously:

"You cannot kill me!"

"You cannot kill me!"

"Just you wait, I will definitely take revenge on you!"

"I will make you pay a bloody price!"

"I will eat you all!!!"

"Hahaha!"

The Six-Headed Snake Lizard was certain.

Although these four guys who popped out of nowhere were very strong, they had no way to kill it.

It could survive!

And as long as it lived, it would have a chance for revenge.

It would remember the scent of these people and come looking for them one by one to settle the score!

"Noisy!"

Cang Lan was annoyed by the noise, let out a cold snort, and directly used her wolf-tooth spear to shatter another snake head.

And just as she was preparing to press her advantage and shatter the remaining necks as well, the other five heads actually abandoned the others at the same time and charged toward her together!

"Not good!"

"Watch out!!!"

Luzhi's expression changed, and her body suddenly grew larger, revealing her true form as a giant deer, and she pinned a snake head down with her front hooves.

Qingteng also revealed her true form, her snake tail suddenly wrapping around a snake head, preventing it from continuing to charge forward.

But at this moment, there were still three heads left that were not completely under control.

Mo Qi said nothing, rushing forward to one of the snake heads, intending to intercept another one regardless of his own safety.

With only two left, while the snake heads were regenerating, Canglan alone was enough to hold them off.

However, the situation did not develop as he had imagined.

Those three snake heads actually did not continue to charge forward, but instead turned their heads simultaneously and rushed toward Mo Qi!

The three snake heads smiled eerily, seemingly mocking Mo Qi's blind impulsiveness.

"You are isolated."

"You want to save her?"

"Hahaha!"

Its goal was not Canglan; that was just a feint!

The real goal was to separate the three of them, Mo Qi and the others!

"Go to hell!"

"Die!"

"Haha!"

At this critical moment, Canglan also realized the problem and wanted to return to support Mo Qi, but it was too late; the distance was too great, and she could not make it in time.

And Mo Qi also realized that the true moment of life and death had arrived; staring at those three snake heads, his eyes turned cold.

"Is this as far as it goes?"

Ren Yidao, who had been watching the battle from the back with his arms crossed, also shook his head at this time and prepared to make a move.

"... Oh?"

But just as the three heads of the snake-lizard were about to tear Mo Qi apart and swallow him, the sun's radiance fell completely below the horizon.

The moon... revealed a corner.

"Awoo!!!"

"Woof!!!"

The eyes of both Canglan and Mo Qi lit up almost simultaneously, and ignoring the current crisis, they tilted their heads back and let out howls toward the moon.

The snake-lizard did not care about Mo Qi's actions; its snake mouth opened wide, and it swallowed him whole in one gulp.

But the next moment, that head of its was directly burst open!

Crack!

A black light darted out from its shattered head and landed heavily on the ground!

Mo Qi and the others also revealed their Demon Beast true forms.

Canglan was still the giant silver wolf in Ren Yidao's impression; this time her size was even larger than before, and her fur looked even more magnificent.

She no longer looked back to rescue, but rushed toward the snake head she had just broken, slamming a claw onto the snake's neck, giving the opponent no chance to continue regenerating.

And the true form of Mo Qi was somewhat beyond Ren Yidao's expectations.

He did not transform into a giant husky, but turned into a giant dog with fur as black as ink.

The black fur was fluffy, the canine teeth were stark white, and the pupils were blood-red, like an insatiable beast.

"Black Moon Dog, is this its true appearance?"

In Ren Yidao's eyes, the Silver Moon Wolf was like the Incarnation of elegance, with smooth lines, a magnificent temperament, and an overall noble aura.

But the Black Moon Dog was completely different.

It had gone to the complete opposite extreme: wild, savage, and ferocious!

One was an elegant aristocrat, the other an uncivilized barbarian.

No wonder these two clans, despite both having the moon as their foundation, were irreconcilable mortal enemies; they were completely opposite, and one could hardly find any similarities.

And after revealing his true form, Mo Qi's fighting style changed entirely, no longer having the restraint and forbearance from before.

He ignored the attacks from the other snake heads on him, focusing like a mad dog on tearing at one of the snake-lizard's heads.

Inflicting a thousand damage while suffering eight hundred.

He didn't care about anything else; he just stared at one head and attacked it crazily, regardless of the cost!

Seeing the situation turn around, Luzhi also began to exert force, completely controlling the snake head under her feet, while shouting aloud:

"Canglan! Don't worry about anything else, attack its main body directly!"

"Its weakness is in the heart!"

The snake-lizard's five heads returning to defend just now was definitely not a deliberate lure to draw them away, but to protect its torso!

"Its weakness is in the torso!"

Yes, for as long as the battle had been going on, the six-headed snake-lizard had always been fighting with its snake heads, and had not used its claws or tail even once.

It was guarding its own weakness!

Hearing the instruction, Canglan's eyes grew even more ferocious, and her speed increased once again.

After a feint, she directly abandoned the half-destroyed snake neck, turned into a streak of silver light, and slashed a claw toward the snake-lizard's soft abdomen.

Sshhh—

With the bonus of extremely high speed, the giant wolf's sharp claws were terrifyingly keen.

Although the snake-lizard resisted with all its might, Canglan's claws still tore through the snake-lizard's tough hide and flesh, directly exposing the internal organs inside!

Under the intense pain, the snake-lizard hissed in agony, directly severing the snake heads that were being controlled, and while regenerating, it bit toward Cang Lan.

"Roar!!!"

But it was already too late; everyone saw the giant Heart Star where the snake-lizard had entrusted its Divine Soul.

If Cang Lan were given just one more breath, she would be able to completely slay this tenacious exotic beast!

"Give it the final blow..."

However, the moment they saw the heart clearly, they all frowned at the same time.

"Hm!?"

"What is this!!!"

"Tree branches?"

Inside the chest cavity of the six-headed snake-lizard, its giant heart had actually long since been entangled and pierced by tree roots!?

"This..."

Upon seeing those branches, Qingteng was dazed for a moment, then suddenly realized what this meant and cried out:

"Watch out!!!"

"It is being controlled!"

What?

Boom, boom, boom!

Before everyone could react, dozens of sharp tree branches burst out from the ground beneath them!

Ssh—

"Ah!!!"
