Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 704 - 161: Survival Competition

Gazing at the fresh blood dripping continuously from the Great Sword.

Fa Xiaoyi’s heart began to beat faster and faster!

This feeling, it had been a long time since he last experienced it.

In Dark Hell, when he first met that golden-faced youth, Fa Xiaoyi considered him only as a temporary ally.

At that time, with no other choice, they had to rely on each other to survive the unknown Dark Hell.

But after cooperating for a few days, Fa Xiaoyi noticed a special quality in that young man.

He was calm and decisive.

Such a character, if slightly nurtured, would definitely become a top figure in the Grey Alliance.

Tsk, the old habit kicked in again, Fa Xiaoyi peeled himself from his memories. As the leader of the Grey Alliance, his craving for various talents was deeply rooted in him.

"Fa Xiaoyi, we must immediately head to Mist Canyon, you are responsible for sniping that Summoner, while my sister and I retrieve Gore," Snake Woman Meixi and Bella observed for a moment and noticed that little sister Gore wasn’t right; it was still unable to reach adulthood and its strength was only about 30-40% of its original power.

Snake Woman Meixi and Bella looked very excited, yet that excitement also carried a hint of greed.

Inside Mist Canyon, when the Liangyi Formation collapsed, the Snake-haired Little Gore shook its snaky body and fell from mid-air, its head full of snake hair having restored back to normal.

Yue Jinghua swiftly held onto it, the Snake-haired Little Gore being still young, and even with the Holy Beast Star Pendant, it struggled to bear such a huge loss.

"Gore, did you perhaps sense the presence of your kin?" Yue Jinghua noticed Snake-haired Little Gore staring at the slowly dispersing fog with a confused expression, and her heart softened as she asked softly.

The Snake-haired Little Gore nodded, "Sis... Sis... Two..."

"Is it your sisters, two sisters?" Little Gore was snatched by Yue Jinghua from Fa Xiaoyi, and Yue Jinghua did not know what method Zong Shaoqing had used back then to wash away most of its memories, leaving it a young Holy Beast in an unformed state.

But ever since she tamed Little Gore, the little snake had been very clingy towards her, like a mother to her child.

"Do you want to reunite with them?" Yue Jinghua sighed, gently touching Little Gore’s soft long hair.

Upon hearing this, Little Gore shook its head immediately, and mumbling, it started explaining to Yue Jinghua using the limited human vocabulary it had grasped.

"Reunite? You suggest reuniting a Dusa Snake with its kin? Woman, where has your common sense gone, calling yourself a summoner, aren’t you afraid to be laughed off?" Qing Pu scoffed.

"Master, you must not let Lord Gore reunite with her sisters," rather than enduring Qing Pu’s mocking, it’s better to ask Qian Luo directly. She is familiar with the Snake Woman and surely knows much about the origins and background of Dusa Snakes.

Dusa Snakes are a nearly extinct species of Dark Beasts; most of their members are stunningly beautiful women, who are skilled and possess astonishing strength.

"The extinction of Dusa Snakes has little to do with the hunts of Dark Practitioners. In fact, most Dark Practitioners are no match for Dusa Snakes. The extinction of Dusa Snakes is due to their poor reproductive capabilities. Many Dusa Snakes can only lay one egg in their entire life. If several Dusa Snakes are born at once, once they reach adulthood, they will commence same-species cannibalism until they evolve into the most powerful and unique Dusa Queen. In other words, a powerful Dusa Snake often means the sacrifice of hundreds of other Dusa Snakes," Qian Luo understood these facts as she lived on the Bilun Continent where a few descendants of the Dusa Snakes existed.

Qian Luo was certain that the return of Little Gore’s two sisters to Canglong Continent was definitely related to Little Gore.

As a Dusa Snake Woman, Gore displayed such formidable strength even in his juvenile phase. If he were to grow up, his cultivation would undoubtedly match any Holy Beast.

If returned to the hands of those two Dusa Snake Women, they would likely nurture Little Gore until he grew up, and then devour him.

The Snake Clan is naturally cold-blooded, especially when facing the weaker ones, devouring is their best method to enhance their cultivation.

Blood was still dripping from the Lianyun Great Sword in Yue Jinghua’s hand.

Little Gore drooped its head, unsure how much of Qian Luo’s previous words were true and how much it had absorbed.

"Devour? Who devours who is still unknown. If they really dare to come seeking trouble, let’s show them who ends up devouring who," Yue Jinghua slowly wiped the blood off her sword, her eyes cold as ice.

She radiated an aura of arrogant sharpness all around her.

The thick fog in Mist Canyon had already dispersed, and after putting away Little Gore, a surprised and fussy voice came from the other end of the canyon.

"Captain, Yue Jinghua, I’ve rescued the people," reported Compass, who had escaped from the brink of death and had completed a mission independently for the first time, naturally very excited.

Seeing Yue Jinghua, Peng Bojinuo gave her a heartfelt bear hug, prompting Qian Luo and Shalman to look sideways, and Compass to cough vigorously with a red face on the side.

"Brother Jin Nuo, no need to be so formal. You guys have also suffered during this time," Yue Jinghua saw Jin Nuo, who was completely disheveled. His dragon pattern had dimmed, his body covered in blood stains, and Black Beauty’s condition wasn’t much better.

It must be said, Fa Xiaoyi’s tactic, the "trap within a trap", is indeed a high move.

Without a single soldier, he almost killed all the Dragon Knights using the Illusion Array in Mist Canyon.

Fa Xiaoyi is indeed not simple.

Just don’t know where he had been in the past year and who he met.

Seeing the Dragon Knights utterly exhausted and starving, Yue Jinghua didn’t inquire too much about how they were trapped in Mist Canyon, but led everyone out of the outskirts of the canyon.

After reaching the entrance of the canyon, to allow the Dragon Knights to recuperate, Yue Jinghua ordered Chi Xi to prepare food while she and Shalman attended to the injured Dragon Knights.

Chi Xi, seeing everyone safe and sound, breathed a sigh of relief and went to prepare the food.

Once everything was ready, everyone had their first warm meal in months, and everyone’s spirits improved substantially.

In the deep silence of the night, Yue Jinghua was about to rest but heard Little Jinuo inviting her to the tent to discuss the plans for the coming days.

As agreed, upon entering Little Jinuo’s tent, Peng Bojinuo was frowning, holding a Wolf Brush in his hand.

Yue Jinghua swept a glance and saw the paper written with a single, strong and powerful "Fa Xiaoyi".

"Fa Xiaoyi is an incredibly formidable person," Peng Bojinuo said with a sigh.
