Even though it was just a baby snake that had just hatched, it was still quite large. It just twisted its body slightly and appeared in front of them in an instant.

Yuan Feng didn't care about that anymore and shouted to the people behind him: "Protect the king!"

A baby snake broke out of its shell, and other snakes followed suit.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. The Royal Guards had to deal with the snakes while protecting Yang Xia.

The third-rank guards drew their swords to fight. Their fighting power was higher than that of the Imperial Guards. Although it was a bit difficult to deal with so many big snakes, they were still able to cope with it.

In just half an hour, all the little snakes were killed.

Yuan Feng took back the knife in his hand, feeling that the mucus was extremely disgusting.

The snake meat gave off a rotten smell that permeated the air, making their stomachs churn and they felt like they might vomit at any time.

Yuan Feng said jokingly: "Fortunately, I didn't eat anything last night, otherwise I would have vomited out the acid in my stomach by now."

Meng Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said nonchalantly, "Do you really think this is a good place? Hurry up and help the king leave. You know, the thing we just saw has a tail that is bigger than ours."

Everyone knew that he was talking about the Snake Mother.

Yang Xia led them to another place, trying not to alarm the snake mother.

But they didn't know that as soon as they left, the mother snake seemed to have heard the noise here and swam towards them with its huge body.

When it saw its offspring being slaughtered, it suddenly became furious, spitting out its core arrogantly, and swam quickly towards the heat that had not yet dissipated.

Yang Xia took a few steps forward when he felt the ground shaking: "Oh no, we must have disturbed the giant snake. Let's leave quickly."

As soon as he said that, the entrance to the cave behind him suddenly slammed shut and was blocked tightly.

It turned out that the snake was too huge and the entrance to the cave they were walking through was too narrow. Halfway through the snake's swim, its body got stuck at the entrance.

Taking advantage of this gap, several people ran forward as fast as they could, and Yang Xia did not dare to delay for a moment.

The giant snake behind him was still struggling desperately. It was extremely powerful, and as it twisted, the entire space began to shake violently.

"boom!"

A fist-sized stone fell from above, followed by the second, third, and fourth stones.

"The entrance of the cave is about to collapse, we have to hurry out!" Yang Xia didn't know how long the road ahead was, so he could only try his best to speed up.

At this critical moment, several people finally found a new way out.

Just as they leaped out, the cave entrance behind them collapsed with a loud bang.

A group of people stood there in shock. The silence behind them was eerie and the entrance to the cave was blocked tightly.

The cave entrance began to shake again as it collapsed.

Yang Xia stared at the hole for a while, and said solemnly: "That snake is not so easy to die. We have killed so many of its descendants. As long as it is still alive, there is no way we can get out of here safely."

Meng Yin immediately understood what he meant: "I remember that snakes are afraid of fire. How about we set a trap here and burn it to death?"

Luo Xun rejected the proposal immediately: "This space is so small, who knows if there is enough oxygen to circulate inside. Once the air is not circulating, while the snake is burned to death, we will also suffocate here due to lack of oxygen."

"Luo Xun is right. Let's try another method." Yuan Feng looked around and saw that this was a square space with towering stone walls all around. It was unclear whether there was any air circulation here.

The island is so huge that the caves here are like a whole new world.

Wherever they fled, they seemed unable to enter the heartland.

It seems like it's always hovering on the edge and can't get any closer to the center.

At this time, everyone was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, but Yang Xia looked calm and said, "To set up the formation, we don't have to kill the big snake, just trap it here."

This big snake is not so easy to kill. Just looking at its skin and flesh, it shows how many years it has survived in this cave. It has already become as hard as a rock.

Even the sharp blades in their hands might not be able to hurt it. To put it bluntly, even if they used cannons to bombard a giant creature like this, they might not be able to kill it.

It would be better to take advantage of the formation and trap it here alive.

As long as they can buy enough time to get to the center, get the things inside, and leave the island directly, the life or death of the big snake will have nothing to do with them.

"Set up the formation!"

Yuan Feng repeated.

The third-rank guards drew their swords one after another and formed a circle. The Imperial Guards stood on full alert at the side, guarding Yang Xia's safety at all times.

"Roar!"

"boom!"

The big snake rushed out from inside, and the buried soil splashed everywhere in an instant.

"Bang bang bang!"

The flying stones were everywhere, creating deep holes in the surrounding walls.

When those stones were about to hit Yang Xia, they were blocked one by one by the royal guards around him, protecting him firmly in the circle.

The big snake stuck out its head, then pulled its body out with force. Its red eyes were full of anger, as if it wanted to tear the people in front of it into pieces.

In just a few minutes, its huge body rushed to the center position.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yuan Feng flew forward and blocked the snake's way.

"Luo Xun, come and help me!"

Yuan Feng shouted at Luo Xun.

Luo Xun had already made preparations and rushed forward with sword in hand.

But in just a moment, the two men attacked from the left and right.

"boom!"

The sharp swords in their hands chopped on the big snake's head, creating a series of sparks.

Just as Yang Xia said, this giant snake is impossible to kill.

It’s different from the previous snakes. One cut of those snakes could cut off half of their heads.

The scales of this giant snake were extremely hard, and although its body was huge, it was very flexible. Even if they attacked from both sides, the snake could handle it with ease.

"Damn! What kind of monster is this?" Yuan Feng couldn't help but swear.

The royal guards were also stunned. Yuan Feng's martial arts skills were much higher than theirs, but he didn't even hurt the snake's skin.

You have to know that they were invincible when they suppressed bandits before, and the enemy's artillery weapons had no effect on them.

But now, facing this huge snake, they couldn't even cut off its scales.

This formation temporarily trapped the big snake, forcing it to struggle around and unable to move. Yang Xia could see clearly from the side that the big snake was also consuming the guards' energy.

If we wait another hundred years, the snake will probably become spiritual. By then, it will not only be invulnerable to swords and guns, but also have human wisdom. Yang Xia said, "Hit the snake at its weakest point!"

No matter how big a snake is, its fatal weakness is always at the seven-inch point.

The seven-inch position is the most vulnerable. If attacking other places doesn't work, you can only try attacking here. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.

After hearing this, Yuan Feng swung the sword in his hand and chopped at the snake's vital point without hesitation.

The big snake seemed to sense the danger and quickly coiled its body, standing upright. Then it swung its tail hard and rushed towards them with a gust of wind.

There was a loud "bang"!
Yuan Feng hurriedly used his knife to block, but the knife was instantly broken into two pieces.

The blow hit him hard, and he flew out and hit the wall next to him heavily.

"puff……"

Yuan Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and felt as if his internal organs were being burned by fire. There was a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and he kept vomiting.

He quickly sat up, adjusted his breathing, and sealed several important acupuncture points on his body. Only then could he barely stand up with the knife in hand.

The big snake refused to give in and rushed straight towards him.

Seeing this, Luo Xun stabbed the snake's eyes with the sword in his hand without having time to stab the snake's vital points.

"Roar!"

With a "puff" sound, the sword directly pierced into the snake's eyeball.

The big snake suddenly rolled and twisted on the spot, but the surrounding royal guards and third-rank guards held its body down tightly, making it unable to move.

Bright red liquid gushed out of its eyes, and it opened its bloody mouth as if it wanted to swallow Luo Xun whole.

The imperial guards nearby came forward to help, and together with the third-rank guards, they held down the snake's body tightly.

No matter how the snake rolled and struggled, they refused to let go.

The big snake had been almost completely controlled, twisting and struggling in the town.

Although it has lost one eye, this does not affect its ability to attack.

Yang Xia picked up a sword beside him and rushed out.

He found the vital point of the snake, leaped up, and stabbed it hard.

The sword penetrated deeply into the snake's body, and even though the entire sword was inserted into it, it was unable to penetrate the snake's body.

However, this attack brought fatal injuries to the snake. The snake's struggles were significantly weakened and it gradually exhausted its strength.

Meng Yin seized the opportunity and stabbed the snake hard at another vital point with his sword.

One wound was in the abdomen and the other was in the back, both of which were fatal.

The big snake had no strength to struggle anymore and slowly fell down, with only its tail still swinging.

The others also took the opportunity to stab the snake's vital points with their swords, cutting the entire snake in half at that point.

With a "splash", the snake's blood splattered everywhere like a fountain.

The dark red blood emitted a pungent stench of decay. Yang Xia didn't even want the sword in his hand anymore. He threw it on the ground, covered his nose and took a few steps back.

The entire body of the snake took up almost the entire space, and they could only move to the side.

There was no room for anyone to stand nearby, so they just stood on the snake.

Many people were injured in this battle, but fortunately no one died.

The one who was most seriously injured was Yuan Feng!
His arm was dislocated, and he couldn't even lift the knife. Luo Xun touched his bones and instantly helped him fix his dislocated arm.

There was a "click".

The dislocated bone was repositioned, but his hand was still sore. After moving it a few times, he regained his strength.

"How do you feel?" Luo Xun looked at him, his face was pale and his breathing was disordered.

Yuan Feng shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I just suffered some internal injuries. I need to take good care of myself."

The snake's violent impact was like a giant truck rushing towards him at top speed.

Even though he blocked it with his sword, he still suffered serious internal injuries.

Yang Xia also came over and said, "We can't get out for a while. Luo Xun will protect you here. You should quickly practice Qigong to heal your wounds."

Seeing that his lips were pale, Yang Xia realized that he was seriously injured this time.

Yuan Feng no longer held on, meditated on the spot, slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to repair the damaged true qi in his dantian.

In the process of repairing his Dantian, his meridians became blocked and he was unable to clear them by himself. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Just when he was about to collapse, a stream of pure true energy slowly flowed into his body.

Luo Xun transformed his internal energy into true energy and input it into his shoulders.

With Luo Xun's help, Yuan Feng quickly cleared the blocked internal Qi in his body, and his complexion gradually became rosy, no longer as pale as paper as before.

Time passed little by little, and after just an hour, Yuan Feng slowly opened his eyes, and his originally tired eyes became bright.

He turned around and thanked Luo Xun: "Thank you for transferring my Qi to me just now, otherwise my meridians would be broken, and I would be seriously injured and become a cripple, or even die, and I would not be able to escort the king in."

Luo Xun patted his shoulder. He didn't take it to heart at all: "We are all brothers. It's too formal to say such things."

We are all brothers who have been through life and death together, so it is our duty to protect him on this journey.

Yuan Feng stood up from the ground and saw that the people around him were still standing there. He looked puzzled and asked, "Haven't you found a way out yet?"

Meng Yin shook his head in frustration and said, "No, we almost turned this place upside down and couldn't find a way out."

Luo Xun hurried forward and asked, "Have you searched the ground?"

His question instantly awakened everyone.

Yang Xia also slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Yes, we were so busy looking for an exit around that we forgot to look for it on the ground."

They were only focused on finding a mechanism to get out of there, and their attention was all on the surrounding walls. They never considered that there might be a way out on the ground.

However, when they began to look for clues on the ground, they encountered a difficult problem.

"The body of this snake is coiled here. If we want to find clues on the ground, we must move the body away first." Yuan Feng took a look at the big snake and saw that the snake's body was stiff, but the snake's head was still spitting out its tongue from time to time.

An hour had passed, and the snake head was not completely dead yet.

Blood oozed from the snake's body from time to time, forming a thin layer on the ground. Everyone's shoes were covered in blood, and there was no place to step.

Yang Xia retreated to a corner and said calmly, "It will probably take a lot of effort to get this snake out."

If the space is more open, we can consider setting a fire and burning the snake to ashes. (End of this chapter)
