Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

As soon as the Black Tiger King gave the order, the beasts of Black Dragon Mountain launched an attack.

The snakes retaliated under the command of the Black-striped Snake King, and in an instant, a great battle was about to break out in the entire valley.

The snake swarm was enormous and extremely venomous. Many low-level beasts were bitten by the venomous snakes as soon as they pounced on them, and their bodies quickly turned black.

Qingfeng also immediately manipulated the vines to launch an attack, while a third-tier snake demon tried to break through from the left.

A large number of vines hung down from the left side of the mountain wall. Just as the three third-tier demon snakes were about to burrow into the forest, they were entangled by the vines at their seven-inch mark.

Just as it tried to struggle, the vines tightened their grip.

The three-headed, third-tier snake demon was strangled on the spot. Seeing this, the Black-striped Snake King finally realized something was wrong.

Damn it, this is a trap. It didn't expect that Qingfeng had set up a trap in advance, just waiting for them to fall into it.

The valley has been completely sealed off by vines; once they're in, they can't get out.

The Black-Striped Serpent King roared and its massive body burrowed into the ground, churning up the soil as it tried to use the underground passage to sneak up behind the Black Tiger King and launch a surprise attack.

Qingfeng's voice echoed in Black Tiger King's mind: "Underground."

The Black Tiger King narrowed its eyes slightly, and the next second, it suddenly raised its paw and slammed it hard into the ground.

boom!

The entire valley floor collapsed, revealing the massive body of the Black-striped Serpent King. Before it could react, the Black Tiger King pounced forward and slapped its head with a claw.

boom!

Its scales shattered, and the Black-striped Serpent King's massive head was smashed into the mountain wall. However, it was, after all, a fourth-tier serpent king, with an incredibly strong physical body.

Surprisingly, it did not die from the attack. Its serpentine body suddenly coiled around the Black Tiger King, attempting to use its massive body to ensnare the Black Tiger King, and it opened its mouth to spew out a mouthful of black poisonous mist.

The Black Tiger King roared, its body bursting with crimson-gold light, directly dispelling the black poisonous mist.

The Black Tiger King is powerful enough to withstand the Black-Striped Serpent King's poison attacks, but other lower-level beasts are in a much worse situation.

The moment they were enveloped by the poisonous fog, their bodies instantly rotted, emitting mournful screams, and quickly turned into a mass of pus.

"Damn ant, you forced me to this!" The Black-striped Serpent King roared angrily when it saw that it could not strangle the Black Tiger King.

Just as it was about to bite the Black Tiger King's neck, the Black Tiger King roared and bit down hard on the Black-Striped Serpent King's neck, tearing off large pieces of scales and flesh. The Black-Striped Serpent King was completely enraged.

It opened its mouth and spewed out another cloud of black poisonous mist, which carried a strong corrosive aura and went straight for the Black Tiger King's face.

Green vines instantly sprouted from the ground, blocking the Black Tiger King's path.

The poisonous mist landed on the vines, instantly corroding them and producing large plumes of black smoke.

Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Be careful of this Black-striped Serpent King; its poisonous mist is highly toxic."

The Black Tiger King said coldly, "Step back."

Qingfeng didn't say much, and immediately retracted the corroded vines, while the Black Tiger King's tiger eyes flashed with ferocity.

It gave the Black-Striped Serpent King no further chances, and the Azure Lotus Mark behind it lit up.

A wisp of lotus power flowed along the mark and merged into the white-gold tiger aura, causing the Black Tiger King's aura to suddenly rise.

It leaped up suddenly, its tiger claws glowing with a blend of blue and white light, and roared, "Azure Lotus, Mountain-Splitting Claw!"

A claw fell.

The scales on the Black-striped Serpent King's head shattered, and its massive body slammed into the ground.

The Black Tiger King landed on its head, and its second claw followed immediately.

The snake's head split open, and the Black-striped Snake King let out a final, mournful hiss. Its massive body convulsed wildly in the valley, smashing through large swathes of rocks.

Finally, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The fourth-tier snake king is dead.

The entire snake swarm instantly lost its leader, and the remaining snakes began to flee frantically, but Qingfeng had already sealed off both ends of the valley.

Countless vines hung down, surrounding the mutated snakes.

Standing atop the Snake King's corpse, the Black Tiger King said in an icy voice, "My master has ordered that none be spared."

Hundreds of strange beasts from Black Dragon Mountain immediately pounced on the remaining snakes.

The valley was quickly stained red with blood.

Meanwhile, high in the sky.

Watching the battle in the valley from afar, Little Jinbao couldn't help but say anxiously, "Master, Tiger has finished fighting, but Bird Master hasn't made a move yet."

Chu Zhou chuckled and said, "Didn't you think it smelled bad?"

Little Jinbao immediately said, "Bird Master can provide remote support."

Chu Zhou asked, "How can we provide support?"

Little Jinbao puffed out his chest: "Scold them!"

Chu Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Jinbao. This guy was really something else. Seeing that Chu Zhou didn't object, Xiao Jinbao immediately perked up.

It flew into the air and shouted at the top of its lungs towards the distant Crimson Cloud Ridge, "Big Red Snake, the little snake you sent is no good! Tiger killed it in no time!"

"And that blood nest of yours, it stinks so bad even I don't want to go near it. Do you never shower?"

With the aid of spiritual energy, the sound traveled far towards Crimson Cloud Ridge, reaching the summit of the mountain.

The Crimson-Scaled Python, which was absorbing blood energy beside the Blood Nest, suddenly raised its head.

Its crimson vertical pupils blazed with fury: "You're asking for death!"

A terrifying demonic aura soared into the sky, and the blood in the Blood Nest churned violently. Little Jinbao sensed the aura from afar and instantly became alert, but it showed no fear whatsoever.

"Master, it's angry."

Chu Zhou asked, "And then?"

Little Jinbao said earnestly, "That shows that Bird Master's scolding was effective."

Chu Zhou ignored it, but in the underground ancient city, the strange stone suddenly sneered: "Lotus Demon, your followers are all shameless."

Chu Zhou said with interest, "What, are you envious?"

The strange rock retorted angrily, "Do you think I envy them?"

Chu Zhou said, "That's true, you can't even get out."

The strange rock was angry too, but it quickly realized that it couldn't be angry, it absolutely couldn't be angry.

Chu Zhou waited for a while and found that the strange stone hadn't leaked anything. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The strange stone understood his meaning and was so angry that it wanted to curse.

It was afraid of being ambushed by that shameless guy Chu Zhou, who had no sense of martial ethics.

The battle on the southeastern mountain road of Heilongjiang ended quickly.

The three thousand snakes were wiped out, and the green vines piled the corpses together in the center of the valley.

Black Tiger King took out a fourth-order crystal core from the head of Black-striped Serpent King. The crystal core was pitch black and had a trace of poisonous gas wrapped around its surface.

The Black Tiger King did not swallow the crystal core. Instead, it carried the crystal core in its mouth and returned to Black Dragon Lake, its body covered in blood.

Not long after, at the shore of Heilong Lake.

Black Tiger King lowered his head and placed the crystal core on the lake shore.

"Master, the snake king has been killed, and the snakes that crossed the line have all been eliminated."

Chu Zhou glanced at the fourth-order crystal core. The energy contained within the crystal core was not weak, and it also carried the aura of the Crimson Cloud Ridge Blood Nest.

A system notification sounded.

"Ding, a fourth-order poison-type crystal core has been detected."

"Should we devour it?"

Chu Zhou was in a good mood; this Black Tiger King was indeed much more reliable than Little Golden Treasure.

He said, "Black Tiger, you did a good job."

The Black Tiger King said in a low voice, "Your subordinate is merely carrying out your master's orders."
