On the other hand, this was always the style of the God Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They either don’t do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they decide to do it, there wouldn’t be the least bit of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning that the God Country had invited Li Jing to be the overall commander, the three of them had a strange look on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inviting a outsider to supervise their overall strategy, it could be said that the God Country was rather bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their discernment was pretty good too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Jing was unsuitable to be a leader, he was very good at analyzing the situation based on various traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, his on-the-spot command was not bad, even excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the earlier raid on the Daohe fleet, the siege against the Giant Ape of the Six Realms, both were mainly determined and led by Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His powerful individual strength was indeed one of the reasons why both were suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his decisiveness and timely adjustment of strategies according to the situation were the key to the Heavenly King Group crushing their opponents without losing a single soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In retrospect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Country’s team was known for their fierce combat strength, and their regular battles were mainly frontal assaults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very similar to someone’s style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Country liked to fight at first sight, and isn’t that the same for Li Jing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appreciating all these points, for a moment Chen Yuran and the others admired Orville who made such a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether he was a blind cat bumping into a dead rat or had truly studied Li Jing’s style, it was apparent that he had found the right person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s decision to take on this important task was after careful consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having explained things to the three women, his gaze fell upon Chen Yuran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The entire battle situation will be directed and coordinated by me. However, I may not necessarily be able to look after the rear, so Yuran, you help me keep an eye on it. There is no network in the secret realm space, and the communicators of the Longyu Management Bureau and the God Country Special Affairs Bureau can only work within a certain range. At that time, I will leave Linglong with you. If there is any situation, you can send a message and contact me in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Linglong at your side, she can also ensure your safety. Yuran, you are still a Four Realm. Don’t over exert yourself in the channel space. I will ask Linglong to not hinder you as much as possible, but when you need to use Linglong’s power, don’t hesitate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuran nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one Li Jing was most worried about was undoubtedly her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing left Linglong Tower by her side. While it was said to be for communication, in reality, it was mainly to ensure her safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing Chen Yuran, Li Jing looked at each of the three people in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a rare opportunity. The channel space is home to the alien civilization, and there will definitely be a lot of good things, it’s just a matter of finding and retrieving them. We didn’t have time to explore the previous channel space we encountered, but this time we have at least two hours. I can’t control how teams from other management bureaus are allocated, but here in the Heavenly King Group, Yuran, Yulian and Brother Jiu, each of you will lead a team of four thousand people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that they were to lead teams, both Yulian and Jiu Li were slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the two could react, Li Jing continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuran needs to observe the rear, so she doesn’t have to insist too much. Yulian and Brother Jiu, you have to be careful. Both of you are Great Demons of Six Realms and good at discovering things. You can find many treasures that others can’t, and you might find traces that others might overlook. The Heavenly King Group doesn’t need to compete with others, but the more we gain, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless of what each of your teams discover, the Heavenly King Group will only keep seventy percent. The remaining thirty percent will be distributed among you, each person gets ten percent as personal gain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, not only Yulian and Jiu Li, but also Chen Yuran were startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As external personnel of the Management Bureau coming to the secret realm, their personal gain did not need to be handed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After following Li Jing into the secret realm for a little over six days, all three of them had made substantial gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having raided both the Daohe and the White Hawk exploration teams, Li Jing allocated a large amount of resources to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those that could truly be called secret realm gains, were only the tons of giant beast flesh and blood received by Yulian and Jiu Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the resources plundered from Daohe and the White Hawk exploration teams were large in quantity and high in value, they were nothing special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was really precious and useful was the secret realm gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Fire Essence vein that Li Jing discovered in the valley before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value of that whole vein easily outstripped the combined gains from raiding Daohe and the White Hawk exploration team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-quality Fire Essence worth tens of millions, one piece at most would weigh a kilogram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amount of Fire Essence in the veins, however, can be measured in tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think carefully about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The promise Li Jing made to them about each getting ten percent of the personal gain, none of the three could ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Li Jing. With me leading the team, no matter what treasures are hidden in the channel space, I will definitely be the first to retrieve them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Li rolled up his sleeves to reveal his fair arms, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian, on the other hand, slightly furrowed her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Jing, will it be a problem if the upper management of the Management Bureau finds out that you have been distributing the resources collected by the Heavenly King Group to us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t see a problem with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing shook his head, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The prerequisite for everything is for the Heavenly Kings Group to secure some sort of gain. To accomplish this, we need to utilize your and Brother Jiu’s strength. As Yuran covers my back and relays information, she too needs to exert effort. As the saying goes ’to the able goes the spoils’, if you have merit accounts from the Management Bureau, this part of the income naturally should belong to you. Those at the top will not object to this. If they do, we can ignore them as if they were passing gas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Yulian blinked her beautiful eyes twice and nodded lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, she found that Li Jing had recently become more assertive, which secretly made her elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuran listened to Li Jing’s words, gazing at him without moving her eyes, and did not express any opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian’s concerns were not unfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Li Jing said was also correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he had more courage to make the top brass shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this operation will provide Longyu with the opportunity to have thirty teams of ten thousand each enter the secret realm within God’s Kingdom in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the possible achievements of the Heavenly Kings Group in the two hours after entering the spatial passage, it would be nothing. The top executive office of the Management Bureau wouldn’t pick a petty fight with him over this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The promise from the Gods’ Kingdom is given to Li Jing, not to Longyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, to lead thirty teams of ten thousand each into the secret realm of God’s Kingdom, the prerequisite would be him personally leading the teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Jing is not willing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some negotiation, Li Jing asked Chen Yuran to divide the members of the Heavenly Kings Squad fairly using their overall combat power, creating three teams of four thousand each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the teams were assembled, it was time to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Heavenly Kings Squad, fifteen ten-thousand-man units who participated in this operation from the Management Bureau collectively departed and came to hover over the central passage of the ruins, awaiting instructions in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teams from all the forces of the Northern Alliance headed by God’s Kingdom were also in position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the central passage in the ruins, the members of all exploration teams stood suspended in the air, dense enough to block out the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, due to his duty to assist in the overall management, set off prior to the Heavenly Kings Squad, meeting up with Orville and the other team leaders from the Northern Gods’ Kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the assembly of the various teams, Orville introduced Li Jing to the leaders of his teams and thoroughly explained their combat strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gods’ Kingdom has four ten-thousand-man squads participating in this operation as its main fighting force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville was very considerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make it easier for Li Jing to command, he directly had the forty teams to temporarily abandon their unique team names and use numbers one to forty as code names to execute the next operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All forty ten-thousand-man squads were then divided according to their combat specialization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to fifteenth squads are elite vanguards, made up entirely of burly men adept at frontal assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixteenth to twenty-fifth squads are special units equipped with modernized weaponry, each of the members equipped with a combination of technology and Immortal Learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty-sixth to the thirty-fifth squads are magic squads, proficient in using immense wide-ranging attack spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the orthodox path of cultivation in God’s Kingdom focuses on strengthening the body, much like how monsters possess inherent abilities, they also have a Magic Skill System.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thirty-sixth to the fortieth squads are mixed type support squads that incorporate formation arts for healing, skilled in providing rear support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Orville’s careful organization and categorization, Li Jing was greatly facilitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In God’s Kingdom’s lineup, there are assault squads, tactical squads, mage squads, and mixed squads consecutively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most eye-catching to Li Jing, without a doubt, are the ten tactical squads.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten tactical squads hovering in the high sky, regardless of gender, are either holding a gatling gun etched with a special array making use of one’s own Spiritual Qi as ammunition, or carrying an impressively large-caliber shoulder-fired rocket launcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Modernized standard equipment, coupled with the enormous stature of God’s Kingdom’s people, simply standing in the air exudes a brutal air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As all parties had assembled their teams, Qi Chen, Ji Youyu, and Tongyan also came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were not going into the spatial passage, they had to command the teams left outside to guard the entrance of the passage, ready to respond at any time while preventing the Western forces from making a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that all teams were ready, Ji Youyu spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Orville and Staff Officer Li, the time is about right, if we delay it might cause trouble, shall we commence the operation immediately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville responded and then passed a water bottle to Li Jing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Staff Officer Li, this is my personal stock of Spiritual Liquid brew from God’s Kingdom.

If there are signs of the spatial passage closing, don’t blast it. Wait for me to come out and discuss to avoid getting hit by a nuclear bomb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Li Jing moved, transformed into a Thunderbolt and instantly threw himself into the passage in the ruins at the center of the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing use the Thunderbolt technique, Orville raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those nearby including Ji Youyu had their pupils constrict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu, despite claiming to Li Jing that she had low combat power, was indeed a Sixth Realm practitioner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, as the senior sister of Qi Chen and Tongyan, her cultivation level was much higher than both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville, as the commanding officer of the Northern Special Situations Bureau of the God Kingdom, had a discerning eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all he could see was that Li Jing’s escape technique was pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu and the other two were from a hidden sect, not only did they have an eye for these things, they also carried the unique inheritance of their sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could easily see that Li Jing’s Thunderbolt was a combination derived from various escape techniques, gathering multiple strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique was extremely profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu and the others, who fancied themselves as well-informed, could not find any escape technique among those they knew that could compare with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was clear that Li Jing had not yet revealed the real power of this technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the entrance of the passage, Qi Chen glanced at Ji Youyu unintentionally and quietly conveyed his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior sister, this Li Jing is mysterious. Even in the Holy Land, you can’t find such a exquisite technique, and definitely not in the Taoist school. We should be careful about letting Tongyan try to connect with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving this message, Ji Youyu was silent for a moment before responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s discuss this later privately, focusing on the current matter. We have many things to do next. We were commissioned to gain secrets for Longyu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Li Jing successfully arrived at the other end of the passage and himself floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This space was not much different from the passage space he had been to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still a world full of greenery, with very tall plants and trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the only difference was that the area beneath the exit of the passage was not a lush forest, but a very wide plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the passage spaces he had been to before, the field of view here was much wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing the surroundings for a while, Li Jing looked towards the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a huge camp built of giant trees came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing’s lips curled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing at the camp of the God Kingdom in the morning, Orville had given him the basic information about the space in the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one in God Kingdom knew what was in the passage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was that a considerable number of Giant Beast Corps was stationed on the plains to the south of the passage exit, with the Snake People Envoy who communicated with the Northern Major League represented by the God Kingdom among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the entire Northern Major League including the God Kingdom could not explore the passage space at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a trade to negotiate, and the exit was guarded by the Giant Beast Corps. The exploration work could not be started at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now looking over, the camp of the Giant Beast Corps was very crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could barely be said that a few tents were built with giant trees to provide shelter from the wind and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless giant beasts, either lying down or standing, surrounded the encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sprawling camp, only around a dozen alien creatures comparable in size to the bird people, about fifty meters tall with serpentine heads and humanoid bodies, resided within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon Li Jing’s arrival, he quickly captured the attention of the Giant Beast Corps and the Snake People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, three Snake People rose from the camp, utilizing Sky Control, and approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they met Li Jing, they each scrutinized him for a moment. The leading Snake Person flicked out its tongue, and the voice of its thoughts sounded directly in Li Jing’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From your appearance, it seems you are not affiliated with the Northern God Country?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was encountering this mind voice for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite fresh to his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the voice of the Spirit Weapon resonating in his ears across the void, the mind voice of the Snake People was not a real voice in the typical sense, but rather a kind of indescribable, incomprehensible sound that people could nevertheless understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing a glance over his shoulder at the passage behind him, Li Jing turned back to scrutinize the three Snake People in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bird People he had encountered before possessed the ability to probe situations outside the spatial passage, and it was apparent that the Snake People had this ability as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they would have no reason to know that forces from the Western World had allied to oppose the God Country, adopting a stance of only trading with one side in an attempt to incite internal conflict among the human forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake People here, however, seemed to be completely oblivious that a million-strong army was assembling, ready to launch an attack from the other end of the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the Snake People, in their self-assured invincibility, lower their guard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their ability to probe the outside world did not seem to depend on the opening of the spatial passage, but rather seemed to originate from another dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking into account that the Western forces were consistently blocked by the Major League of the North outside of the ruins, yet the Snake People had concise information about them, it wasn’t hard to draw a conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake People were likely unable to probe situations within the range of the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering this further, Li Jing’s brow slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake People’s approach of trading with only one side while remaining neutral surely was cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how did they know that the Western forces, who were trying to get involved in the ruins, would be interested in the trade deal they proposed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking into account the Snake People’s ability to communicate with people using the voice of their thoughts, a skill absent in the Bird People he had encountered, Li Jing speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake People had a vast range of probing ability, but it did not include the area of the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information leaked by the Major League of the North was probably not \"leaked\", but rather, the Snake People used some means to directly inform the Western forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they might even be conducting separate trade with the Western forces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these suspicions, Li Jing recalled the initial situation Jiang Yini had informed him about, squinting his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini had clearly mentioned during their discussion that the Snake People were sealed in the passage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he hadn’t paid much attention to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now, upon reflection, he realized how crucial this sealing was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of the God Country, upon encountering the Giant Beast Civilization led by the Snake People in the passage, would not immediately fall into the mindset that they were sealed. The Snake People must have said so themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Li Jing suddenly realized that although the Snake People and the Bird People both led similar Giant Beast Civilizations, there were significant differences between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Beast Civilization, led by the Bird People, had sent a Giant Ape as a scout to \"test the waters\" before the passage space was opened, proving that they had the ability to proactively exit the passage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake People, on the other hand, had never ventured out of the passage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they not allowed to leave by the God Country?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If both sides were to make a transaction, it would be natural for one or two representatives of the Snake People to leave, wouldn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake People did not stay because they did not wish to leave, but rather because they were sealed and couldn’t leave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ruins could possibly be the seal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bird People had intended to leave the passage space, but were cautious, retracting after being terrified by his use of the World Thunder Punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation was rather intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were the Snake People sealed within the ruins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because they were too weak, and were sealed due to defeat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s more likely that the Snake People lineage, notorious for their transgressions and relatively formidable, may have been sealed for that reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their ability to communicate directly with people through the voice of thoughts was too convenient, far surpassing the Bird People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could communicate with humans, they certainly could communicate with other species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Li Jing, who was clearly not from the God Country, did not respond, the leading Snake Person conveyed the mind voice to him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you exactly? Where is the representative of the Northern God Country? If you are not here to negotiate on behalf of the God Country, please leave...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the mind voice could complete, Li Jing waved his arm, wielding the Flying Sword Blue Edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splurt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered in plain sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading Snake Person was instantly beheaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Experience+7148.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two remaining Snake People.\u003C\u002Fp>",4043,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","c34112e755ab5c077dd3c329c62cf70bf38f04bf589545cd53ef9e1301d94ad2","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-261","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-259",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
