Zhao Hai didn’t seem to notice Long Xiang’s words. He continued walking towards the snake. The snake hissed louder as Zhao Hai got closer. And when Zhao Hai was around five ters away, the snake lunged towards him.
Seeing this, Deng Wen was about to move. His blade was already in his hand. However, Long Xiang stretched his arm to block him. Deng Wen stared for a mont before he discovered that the snake rely embraced Zhao Hai’s body. It looked comfortable with Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai petted the huge snake and walked to the huge rock. The snake also moved and coiled around Zhao Hai’s waist. Its head was leaning on Zhao Hai’s shoulder.
Everyone who saw this couldn’t help but stare at Zhao Hai. If they didn’t know that this was Zhao Hai’s first ti in the underground world, they would have thought that the huge snake was Zhao Hai’s pet.
Zhao Hai touched the snake and laughed before saying, “Friend, let rest at your place for a while.” The big snake only readjusted its body to a more comfortable position. Zhao Hai sat cross legged on a good area underneath the rock and silently recovered his strength.
Seeing Zhao Hai’s actions, the others were stunned. After so ti, Long Xiang sighed and said, “I didn’t expect his kid to be so formidable. I haven’t heard of soone taming the snakes on this island.”
Hearing Long Xiang’s words, a newcor from the Imperial Beast Sect couldn’t accept it, “That’s because the Imperial Beast Sect didn’t try. If we did, we would have tad all of the snakes.”
Upon hearing this, Long Xiang, Deng Wen, and the other veterans looked at the Imperial Beast Sect disciple. There was a hint of a smile in their eyes, but they didn’t say anything.
The Imperial Beast Sect disciple was a bit scared when he saw Long Xiang looking at him. Then all of a sudden, he felt pain in the back of his head. He turned his head to see an angry Imperial Beast Sect Elder who smacked him in the head. He looked at the elder in confusion. The elder snorted and said, “Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know. Just keep quiet.”
The disciple didn’t dare to retort as he walked to the side. However, his face showed that he still wasn’t convinced. The Imperial Beast Sect elder cupped his fist towards Long Xiang and said, “Old Long, I’m sorry. This kid doesn’t know. Don’t treat his words seriously.”
Long Xiang waved his hand and said, “Co on, with our relationship, do you think I’ll care about such things? Rest well. We have tough battles ahead of us.”
The Imperial Beast Sect elder nodded and then sat beside the Imperial Beast Sect disciple. The others from the Imperial Beast Sect also looked at the elder in confusion. They didn’t know why the elder said such a thing.
The Imperial Beast Sect Elder looked at his team mbers and sighed inwardly, then he explained, “Before you say anything, let explain. What Elder Long said isn’t wrong. The snakes on this island haven’t been tad by anyone, including our Imperial Beast Sect. In the past, we tried multiple tis to ta these snakes. But we failed every ti. Instead, we were attacked by the snakes. We lost quite a few people to them.”
As soon as the Imperial Beast Sect disciples heard this, they were stunned. They didn’t expect the truth to be like this. Upon knowing this information, they couldn’t help but look at Zhao Hai and the snake coiled around him. They looked very peaceful.
The Imperial Beast Sect Elder was also looking at Zhao Hai. Then he sighed and said, “I didn’t expect Zhao Hai to have such skills. It would have been nice if he joined our Imperial Beast Sect. What a pity. What a pity.” As he said that, the eyes of the Imperial Beast Elder couldn’t help but flash a cold light.
Then at this mont, Zhao Hai suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look towards the Imperial Beast Sect Elder. The elder was startled. The murderous look in his eyes imdiately disappeared. Then he smiled towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai also smiled faintly towards the elder, then he turned his head back and closed his eyes. The Elder from the Imperial Beast Sect was stunned. His heart couldn’t help but sink. He was very clear that Zhao Hai felt the killing intent in his eyes. He knew that Zhao Hai was wary of him.
Thinking of this, the Imperial Beast Sect Elder couldn’t help but curse. He didn’t know what to describe Zhao Hai. He never thought Zhao Hai was so sensitive. He just showed a hint of killing intent, but Zhao Hai was able to notice it. Ever since the start of the expedition, the Imperial Beast Sect was always trying to deal with Zhao Hai. Now, this task has beco even more troubleso.
It was natural for Zhao Hai to feel the killing intent from the Imperial Beast Sect Elder. Not to ntion his Six-Senses Purification Technique, Zhao Hai also killed a lot of people. He was very sensitive towards any hostility towards him.
Regarding the response of the Imperial Beast Sect, Zhao Hai didn’t feel that it was strange. It hasn’t been a day or two since he had a conflict with the Imperial Beast Sect.
After resting for the entire day on the snake island, everyone returned to their peak condition. Zhao Hai also adjusted his body as everyone gathered beside Long Xiang.
Long Xiang looked at everyone and smiled faintly, “There’s no need to be nervous. We have passed through this route several tis. We will be fine. Alright, follow .” Long Xiang moved and flew straight towards the lake.
The other Teleportation Stage cultivators also flew out without paying attention to the rest. Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile. Then he waved his hand, and a wooden board was thrown to the lake. Zhao Hai stepped on the board and used his spiritual qi to maneuver it forward.
Others saw Zhao Hai and stared. Then they followed his example. They threw out boards to the lake and used it to travel.
While flying, Long Xiang observed Zhao Hai’s actions. Then he turned to Deng Wen and said, “That kid is smart. I rember the previous tis when those fools swam across.”
Deng Wen laughed when he heard this. However, his laugh made others look at him with envy. They hated that their sects didn’t have such a genius disciple.
After two hours, Zhao Hai and the others finally arrived at the shore. Just ahead was a forest. But when Zhao Hai stepped on land, he imdiately beca alert. He could see that there were a lot of animal footprints on the shore. This ant that the shore was frequented by beasts.
At this ti, Long Xiang and the rest of the group also descended to the shore. Long Xiang looked at everyone and said, “This forest is famously known as the Death Forest in the underground world. The forest has an uncountable number of beasts. Entering the forest will most certainly spell death. But you don’t need to worry, we’ve already traversed it in the past.”
After he said this, Long Xiang howled. Not long after, the cries of birds were heard from the sky. Then the sound of the flapping of wings ca. What surprised Zhao Hai was that the flapping of the wings was very chaotic, it was as if there were a lot of birds coming over.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others noticed a dark shadow floating towards them. When the dark shadow was on top of the heads, Zhao Hai and the others investigated it.
The dark shadow was a flock of birds. The birds weren’t big, and they seed to be very weak. This confused Zhao Hai. He didn’t know why Long Xiang called the birds over.
Long Xiang turned to the newcors and said, “Although the birds don’t seem to have a lot of offensive strength, their sheer numbers made them intimidating to most beasts. With how many birds there are in this flock, they could peck a powerful beast to death. Alright, you should have brought flying beasts with you, right? In the past, we weren’t allowed to use flying mounts because we’d be attacked once we flew. But now, with the bird flock as a cover, we don’t have to be afraid of being discovered.”
Hearing Long Xiang, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. Then he looked at Long Xiang and asked, “Elder, why didn’t we use flying beasts when we left Snake Island?”
Zhao Hai’s questions also caused others to wonder. Then they all looked at Long Xiang for an explanation. Long Xiang smiled faintly and said, “That isn’t a good idea. Your flying beasts won’t have the snake liquid. If the flying beasts are released on Snake Island, their sll would attract the snakes. When the ti cos, your mounts would end up as food for the snakes.”
Zhao Hai nodded. He wasn’t embarrassed. After all, his understanding of the underground world was too small. He knew that there must be a reason why Long Xiang only allowed them to use their mounts at this ti. He only thought that Long Xiang and the others were only doing this to play a prank on the newcors, so he asked.
Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and patted his shoulder before saying, “Your mind runs very fast. Nobody asked that question before. Hahaha. Finally, a smart one appeared.”
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “Why do I feel like you’re not praising ?”
Long Xiang couldn’t help but laugh. At this ti, it was Deng Wen who patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder as he said, “Don’t worry. He’s really praising you. Hahaha.”
Zhao Hai shook his head as he forced a smile. He couldn’t understand Long Xiang’s humor. Fortunately, he wasn’t pranked.
At this mont, Long Xiang ordered, “Release your mounts. We’ll leave imdiately. We can’t be late!” Everyone responded and released their own flying mounts. Before long, everyone rose to the skies and disappeared amongst the flock of birds. Then the birds turned into a huge shadow and flew into the distance. The team from the surface could no longer be spotted.
