Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

"Hiss, hiss!"

"Hiss, hiss!"

"Am I dreaming?" Did that ugly little snake kill that fifth-tier Snake-Catching Bird?

"My mind must be playing tricks on me!" Otherwise, how could I witness a fifth-tier demon beast being easily hunted by a foolish little snake?

Moreover, I could tell at a glance that the big bird wasn't an ordinary fifth-tier! It had developed intelligence and could speak human language, meaning it must have formed a demon core, which would give it demon power for protection, and it would even understand coordinated attacks.

Just look at how the four third-tier Snake-Catching Birds attacked the mother snake under its command; you can tell that the big bird wasn't newly awakened.

But it was outsmarted and killed by a foolish little snake?

"I underestimated it!"

"Was it pretending not to have bitten it?"

"I actually didn't realize it was faking!"

Whether it was Lingxiao or Ling Yunzi, both had experienced countless life-and-death trials in their previous lives as cultivators, and their combat experience was extremely rich. So, it was expected that their sneak attacks would be successful in one strike.

But the little snake was different. It was just a small snake with some combat power relying on its bloodline power.

It could suppress them, but it couldn't necessarily gain an advantage against the enemy in front of it.

Even though they were both third-tier, a mature third-tier Snake-Catching Bird couldn't be directly confronted by a third-tier young snake.

Even with a sneak attack, against a winged natural enemy, it had to accurately seize the opportunity, otherwise, it would be fine if it returned empty-handed, but with a bit of bad luck, it would most likely be counter-killed.

Afterward, seeing the fifth-tier big bird pouncing on the little snake to kill it, both of them were powerless to help.

Although their sneak attacks were successful and the mother snake reacted quickly, killing two third-tier Snake-Catching Birds, it had consumed a lot of energy in the short confrontation and had no spare strength to help.

In fact, even if it hadn't consumed any energy, it probably wouldn't have been able to save the snake from the claws of a fifth-tier demon beast.

So, they joined the mother snake in finishing off the last third-tier Snake-Catching Bird first.

Then, when they turned back, they thought they would see the tragic scene of the little snake being killed.

Who knew that the development of the situation would completely exceed their expectations!

The hunted had become the fifth-tier Snake-Catching Bird!

Until the giant bird gradually lost its struggling strength, both of them were still somewhat unable to believe it.

Not to mention the big white snake that turned to save its child; the entire snake was dumbfounded on the spot.

My little Hua is so strong?

"How is this possible!"

"Blood Qi Refinement, or Bloodline Evolution?"

To what extent had the little snake's physical body become strong enough to remain unscathed under the full tearing force of a fifth-tier bird beast?

To what extent were its teeth strong and sharp enough to pierce through the bird's body protected by demon power?

And also its tactics.

First, it showed weakness, pretending to be foolish and incompetent, making the Snake-Catching Bird underestimate it, making it careless and unprepared. This not only made the enemy fall into a trap but also tricked the opponent into almost willingly giving up the opportunity to display its peak combat power.

Ling Yunzhi couldn't help but marvel at the little snake's intelligence.

The scheme wasn't complicated, but it was extremely suitable.

Sometimes, the more complicated the tactics, the more difficult it is to achieve the goal.

And it was precisely suitability that made it easiest to succeed.

Because it had grasped the enemy's mentality—the fifth-tier Snake-Catching Bird relied on its strength, which was the main reason it suffered a fatal loss.

This was definitely not the wisdom that a young snake who had just been born and had never left its nest could possess!

"Is it past life memory? Or awakening of intelligence? Or bloodline inheritance?"

"It can't be awakening of intelligence." Nor can it be bloodline inheritance.

The former would only make the demon beast's mind clear, allowing it to think like a human, even weighing the pros and cons, but it wouldn't make them become as intelligent as humans all at once.

The latter would allow the demon beast to trace its bloodline and learn some of the inheritance contained within, but I haven't heard of any schemes or tricks being included in these inheritances.

Moreover, the little snake's performance was almost perfect.

It was definitely an old hand at playing tricks and scheming against others.

Even if there were such things in the inheritance, it wouldn't be possible to master them so quickly.

"Hmph, I don't know how many favored children of heaven I've seen," Ling Yunzhi laughed mockingly in his heart.

Even a genius needs time to grow, so he could almost certainly conclude that this little snake was also a reborn 'old ghost'.

"And extremely cunning!" Lingxiao's view was the same as his.

It was one thing for the fat little snake to suppress them, but it even fooled them by pretending to be stupid, which aroused the competitive spirit of both of them.

The wise and insightful Empress and the Dao Lord known for his keen insight and ability to outwit others hadn't been fooled like this in many years.

"The Northern Wilderness Mountains, the Southern Jambudvipa Continent, my Holy Dynasty and the Profound Gate's Eastern Human Realm, and the barren Western Yellow Sand Sea."

"I'd like to see which side's sacred being you are!"

"Even if you're not from this world and come from the Celestial Realm, I will definitely find out your background!"

Therefore, the two decided to drink their fill of the Snake-Catching Bird's blood and then return to cultivation.

Since all the Snake-Catching Birds were dead, the crisis was resolved.

The little snake was so strong; they had fallen too far behind and still needed to catch up with their cultivation first.

In the world of cultivators, without cultivation and combat power, everything is empty talk.

But before they could start on the bird's neck, they heard a chilling, fierce cry.

"Li! Li!"

Snake-Catching Bird?

There were still Snake-Catching Birds?

Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi suddenly turned their heads.

One look made their hearts skip a beat.

Fifth-tier Snake-Catching Bird!

Another fifth-tier Snake-Catching Bird had come, and it was heading straight for the ugly (foolish) little snake. It was clear that it was with the dead Snake-Catching Bird.

"Is Heaven going to kill me?" Lingxiao cursed inwardly, "Two fifth-tier Snake-Catching Birds!"

If she had known that there were two fifth-tier Snake-Catching Birds among the attacking enemies, she would have definitely chosen to flee desperately rather than fight to the death!

But then she thought of the little snake's performance and couldn't help but cheer up again.

Hoping that he could repeat his old trick.

Ling Yunzi's eyes also dimmed and then brightened, obviously hoping for the same thing.

However, the little snake once again exceeded their expectations.

He actually turned around and darted toward where they were!

He! This bastard! He just darted over without any warning!

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

In that instant, the tips of both of their snake tails stiffened in shock.

Damn bastard!

You're running away too decisively!

It would have been nice if you had given us a little hint beforehand.

They were unprepared; it was too late to escape now!

Seeing the fifth-tier Snake-Catching Bird pounce on them in an instant, they once again felt the looming threat of death.

However, they couldn't think of a way to escape for a while.

If it were in the past, they would have had thousands of ways to crush a fifth-tier demon beast. But based on their current cultivation strength, it was difficult even to escape!

Just as the two were feeling desperate, they saw the fleeing little snake suddenly stop.

It seemed to be tripped by something, swayed, staggered forward, then turned back, raised its head and chest toward the fifth-tier Snake-Catching Bird chasing from behind, and opened its snake mouth.

It let out a series of hisses.

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

"Hiss! Hiss!"

At the moment the snake hiss was emitted, the big bird in mid-air couldn't help but pause.

"Hiss!"

Xu Chengxian hissed, flicking his snake tail behind him, the meaning was obvious:

"I said, folks, don't just stand there! Go! Get it!"
