Final Lord

Chapter 40: The Snake in the Dark
Weiyi wrinkled her nose in disdain. "Eh! I don't want other men to die for me. It's enough for me to have my own sword. No, I also need Brother Bu Fu and Lao Deng."

"You, please be polite to Uncle Ming. After all, he is your father." Wang Bufu patted Wei Yi's head.

Wei Yi made a face and said, "No, it's his fault for being so partial when he was a kid."

"Ah." Wang Bufu shook his head silently and said, "This can't be entirely blamed on Uncle Ming. I grew up without a mother and my father was busy, so I always pestered him when I was little. Uncle Ming is partial, and I also have a lot of responsibility."

Weiyi's personality couldn't stand hearing that kind of talk. She suddenly became awkward and said shyly, "Don't say that, brother. I was wrong. I won't call him Lao Deng in front of you anymore."

"You are not allowed to call me in private."

"If you can't hear it, then it doesn't exist, sir!" Wei Yi suddenly jumped away from Wang Bufu and ran out the door. After a while, Wei Yi came back again, poked her head out of the door, and said shyly:
“Brother Bu Fu, although the master and the lady have passed away, Lao Deng and I are still here. We are also your family. You will not be alone.”

"You kid, also known as Lao Deng, never learns from your mistakes." Wang Bufu laughed and threw a sword at Weiyi, who dodged it quickly. "Hehe, I can't hit you. Come on, brother Bufu, I'm going to practice my sword skills."

Wang Bufu smiled and shook his head. The chaotic thoughts in his head made it impossible for him to concentrate on writing the military book. He simply pushed the book aside and wrote a few large words.

White Crane Hunting Plan

Wang was dissatisfied and designed several versions of the plan, but he rejected and deleted them all.

He shook his head, bit the pen, and began to think.

"No, it's still unsafe to deal with them without flying troops.

Besides Bai Tian Yu's feathers, Bai Tian Yu also dropped thick down. The thick down could be used to make warm clothing, making it easier for me to attack the alternate dimension where the Broken Banner was located. It was a two-pronged attack, so I had to do it.

Flying troops... Harpies." Wang Bufu's eyes fixed. "We can't delay any longer. Once all the Toxic Cavemen have completed their advancement, we'll set out on the expedition."

……

Dark clouds gather, and the Dark Forest becomes especially dangerous at night. Fungus-stone beasts, hollow trees, spore flies... many monsters that were silent during the day have awakened and roamed the Dark Forest.

On the ground composed of mushroom mycelium and humus soil, a group of black poisonous snakes were slithering around with their tongues spitting out.

Humus seethed beneath its serpentine trajectory. As the snakes' scales scraped against the mushroom trunks, three large black mushrooms reached maturity prematurely, their caps suddenly flung open their jet-black skirts, and a jet of black mist filled the surroundings.

The surrounding monsters were attracted by the black fog and sat together under the mushroom umbrella, ignoring the poisonous snakes around them.

A venomous snake's belly slithered across the ground, leaving tar-like marks, now alive. The snake suddenly burrowed into the cracks of the decaying black mushroom, and a sticky chewing sound instantly emanated from within the stem. Three minutes later, the entire thirty-meter-tall mushroom collapsed with a thud. As more snakes swarmed from the broken surface, the growth rings of each splintered wood transformed into a writhing serpentine pattern.

More and more venomous snakes are roaming around in the Black Forest, and they can move freely even in the extremely dangerous core area.

Finally, some venomous snakes managed to cross the dark forest. Their bellies bulged, their upper bodies stood up, and they repeatedly spat out their tongues.

Suddenly, a venomous snake, as if it had discovered something, twitched its tongue several times, emitting a buzzing sound. The surrounding venomous snakes all converged on it, also emitting buzzing sounds. In the Dark Forest, all the venomous snakes raised their heads and converged on their companions.

When all the poisonous snakes gathered together, their bodies began to melt like heated chocolate, forming puddles of dirty mud.

The mud squirmed and gathered together, eventually turning into a man in a black robe.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Sunset Mountains, and a muffled laugh emanated from his black robe.

"No wonder those useless ravens couldn't find them. It turns out they passed through the Black Forest. Hehehe, little lord, you can't escape."

At the feet of the black-robed man, a layer of filthy mud flowed down his calves to the ground. The mud transformed into poisonous snakes, hissing. One after another, terrifying serpents crawled towards the Sunset Mountains.

At dawn, the man in black robe had already appeared at the foot of Jitui Mountain.

A large group of poisonous snakes rose up with their tongues sticking out, making a buzzing sound in the air.

"I smell fire. Kate actually dared to establish a territory in the middle of a bunch of semi-chaotic areas. He's really brave. What gives him the confidence to do this? Is it just relying on that little girl of the first level of transcendence?"

The black-robed man muttered to himself as he walked towards the top of Chicken Leg Mountain. At his feet, a large group of poisonous snakes slithered around, spitting out their tongues.

Suddenly, the black-robed man paused, looked up at the nearby forest, and hummed in confusion.

Under his feet, all the poisonous snakes had stood up, as if they were in defense mode.

"Meow..." The three cat sand beasts made threatening meows and arched their bodies towards the venomous snakes on the ground, trying to drive them away. Although the black-robed man was right in front of them, the cat sand beasts seemed to be unable to see him and were only concerned with guarding against the venomous snakes.

"Is it a cat? No, it's a type of soldier that looks very similar to a cat, but its combat power is much stronger than a cat." The black-robed man looked at the cat sand beast and said in a low voice, "I hate cats the most."

The man in black robe raised his sleeves towards the cat sand beast, and the poisonous snake on the ground immediately squirmed and rushed towards the cat sand beast.

"Meow!"

Faced with the snake's provocation, the cat sand beasts were all furious. One cat sand beast jumped directly from the tree and attacked the snake that dared to approach.

Its claw marks lingered in the air, leaving a shadow. Its left forelimb had just ripped open the throat of a venomous snake when the bony blade of its right hindlimb sliced ​​through the slit of a second. In the blink of an eye, two venomous snakes perished at the hands of the cat-sand beast. These two venomous snakes left no remains, but instead dissolved into mud and merged with the forest soil.

As soon as the Cat Sand Beast killed the venomous snake, other venomous snakes rushed over and surrounded it. A venomous snake bent its body and shot out, biting the Cat Sand Beast with its sharp fangs!
At this moment, the cat sand beast leaped into the air, stepped on the venomous snake's head, and leaped in the air, landing on the trunk of the tree with all four limbs. It exerted force on all four limbs, turned back in the air, and killed two more venomous snakes before landing!
Three cat sand beasts fought with a group of poisonous snakes in the dense trees. Their emerald pupils drew comet tails in the darkness, and every return attack carved deep claw marks on the surface of the bark. The vanguard of the poisonous snakes died without even a bite, leaving a large swamp on the ground.

However, the fighting cat sand beasts did not notice that although they killed so many poisonous snakes, the total number of poisonous snakes did not decrease at all.

After each poisonous snake dies, a new poisonous snake will emerge from the black-robed man's robe.
