"Oh no! That's a demon Jiao, and an eighth-rank one at that. We're in big trouble!"
"The Jiao has noble blood and commands the snake horde. We can't save that girl!"
"Damn it, why did she come here? Is she courting death?"
"White Fox, let's get out of here. This place is too dangerous!"
Seeing Nangong Siyao's predicament, the entire Leopard Hunting Team was alarmed, urging the Two-Tailed White Fox to retreat.
All around, a sinister rustling sound emerged, eyes filled with malice and coldness peering from the bushes, ancient trees, holes, and shadows—snakes, all demon snakes!
They flicked their crimson tongues, their sharp fangs gleaming with a chilling light.
The members of the Leopard Hunting Team shivered under the venomous gaze, feeling a creeping fear.
"Leave? Can you even leave?"
The Jiao coiled around Nangong Siyao sneered, greedily sniffing the scent emanating from the girl. It couldn't understand why, but there was something about her that elicited a deep-seated longing from its very genes.
"A bunch of weaklings, daring to enter your ancestor Jiao's territory, courting death!"
The Jiao's gaze was contemptuous, its demeanor proud, with an arrogance born from its noble bloodline, considering itself a natural king.
Under the Jiao's command, "Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!" the demon snakes slithered and shot forth, encircling the Two-Tailed White Fox and the Leopard Hunting Team densely.
Third-rank, fourth-rank, fifth-rank, sixth-rank, seventh-rank, eighth-rank!
Undead Pythons, Eye Magic Snakes, Five-Step Fatal Snakes of dozens of types!
A number reaching two hundred strong!
"White Fox! We'll carve a path for you. You're an SSS-rank summoned beast, you can't die!"
The Black-Striped Leopard roared, ready for a last stand.
"That's right! Let's make this our glorious final battle!"
The Leopard Hunting Team was prepared to cover the White Fox's escape. At this moment, the Two-Tailed White Fox spoke up, looking disdainfully at the distant Jiao, saying:
"Jiao? Noble blood? Frog in a well!"
"Roar!" The Jiao was enraged; its exalted bloodline could not tolerate human contempt. "Attack, devour them alive!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss hiss!"
The demon snake horde went into a frenzy, opening their foul-smelling maws, ready to strike.
Having exchanged a signal with Nangong Siyao, Xiao Ye immediately activated the contract power of the SSS-rank Five-Clawed Golden Dragon template.
Buzz! Two brilliant golden lights radiated from Nangong Siyao and the White Fox, dispelling darkness and coldness!
A profound and supreme aura permeated the space!
Roar!!! An extended, clear dragon roar echoed from the void, and Nangong Siyao vanished. In the sky above, an Eastern divine dragon with golden vertical pupils appeared.
Rabbit eyes, deer antlers, bull mouth, camel head, tiger paws, eagle claws, fish scales, snake body!
The Three-Toed Golden Dragon hovered mid-air, its body covered in golden scales, radiating a sacred light!
"Jiao, who gave you the courage to call yourself a Beast King!!"
A voice filled with authority boomed from the Golden Dragon's mouth, like a bomb detonating in the ears of all the demon snakes and the Jiao.
The supreme, mysterious bloodline aura emanated from the golden divine dragon, suffusing the area.
"This, this, this, a dragon, it's a dragon!" The eighth-rank Jiao stared in shock at the golden divine dragon circling overhead.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how can there be a divine dragon in this world!!"
The absolute suppression from the bloodline left the Jiao breathless.
Suddenly, the golden divine dragon's golden eyes locked onto it, and the Jiao felt as though a terrifying presence was watching it. A deep fear surged from its genes, causing it to shudder.
"Attack, attack, devour it!" The Jiao was furious at the fear rising within it, it was the Beast King's offspring, a noble Jiao!
Yet not one demon snake dared to advance, all falling silent!
The supreme bloodline aura from the golden divine dragon instilled deep fear in their bloodlines, causing them to hesitate!
"Roar hiss hiss!" "Hiss hiss roar!"
The chaotic, fearful cries were testament to the trembling and dread of the snake horde.
"Wow! This is amazing!?"
"Incredible, a divine dragon, it's really a divine dragon!"
"With a divine dragon present, who can challenge it!?"
"That girl, she's insane, summoning a divine dragon!"
"Divine Dragon: I don't move an inch, and you lose without a fight!"
"Beast Horde: Dare to move? We dare not!"
The Leopard Hunting Team was dumbfounded, their eyes fixated on the golden divine dragon hovering above the ancient trees, their minds nearly exploding with shock.
The dragon's golden scales emitted a dazzling light, its supreme bloodline aura made the Leopard Hunting Team feel as though they were gazing upon a king, a true king, an indisputable supreme ruler!
"Roar! You wretched creature, I'll tear you apart!"
The Jiao felt like a clown, furious as it shot towards the golden divine dragon, unleashing its eighth-rank power.
Roar!!!
A roar filled with majesty erupted from the golden divine dragon's mouth, sending shockwaves through the air, spreading in all directions, the sound resonating throughout the forest.
**[Holy Golden Dragon Might: Mental pressure effect, reducing enemy attributes by 50%, supreme among kin, with dominion bloodline effects]**
Buzz!! All the present demon snakes, in an instant, felt their spirits struck, their attributes halved.
The first to be affected was the Jiao. In mid-air, its mighty aura withered, becoming ordinary.
Then!
Thud! The Jiao crashed to the ground, its bloodline seemingly shackled, crushed by the holy pressure, unable to muster any strength.
Thud thud thud! Thud thud thud! Thud thud thud!
The scene resembled dumplings being made, as all the demon snakes were overpowered by the holy pressure, pinned to the ground.
Their blood and vital energy froze as if iced, unable to move.
As a dragon of the highest standing, the divine dragon naturally suppressed the bloodlines of demon snakes and Jiao. At this moment, the Three-Toed Golden Dragon gazed down at the silent snake horde with a calm expression, its gaze sweeping over them.
Third-rank, fourth-rank, fifth-rank, sixth-rank, seventh-rank, eighth-rank! Undead Pythons, Eye Magic Snakes, Five-Step Fatal Snakes of dozens of types!
The demon snake horde, completely silent!
"Amazing!"
"Beast King, this is a true Beast King!"
"If only this divine dragon could be our captain!"
"Yeah, with the divine dragon and the White Fox leading, our hunting team would soar!"
"Damn, I'm still the captain here, and you're already talking about replacing me?"
"Sorry, Captain! Next time we'll talk behind your back."
