Chapter 365 Self-Destruction of the Great Wall
The Ghost-Faced Serpent, at the third awakening level, possesses mental toxins, is incredibly fast, and excels at hiding in water, making it a formidable fighter among the third awakening level characters.

However, they were powerless to resist under the phoenix's claws and were simply grabbed and eaten.

The phoenix could even spit out bones. After tearing off the flesh and eating it, it threw the bones into the River of Flames. As the river flowed, some bones were slowly washed downstream.

The Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Serpent kept rushing downstream, but on this vast river surface, it was constantly hunted by the Phoenix. In the end, very few Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Serpents were able to escape the section of the river through the giant forest.

Chen Guan and the others suddenly realized a problem: if the Phoenix didn't prey on these Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Snakes, and so many of them ran downstream and entered the river section of the Qilin Mountains, then the Qilin Legion would be in danger.

"Fortunately...fortunately we didn't have time to kill the Phoenix..." Everyone secretly rejoiced.

However, even if they wanted to kill the Phoenix, they didn't have the strength.

Watching the phoenixes devour one Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Serpent after another as if they were eating spicy snacks, everyone was speechless with shock at this battle between snakes and birds.

Suddenly, a huge wave surged from the upstream river, rising more than ten feet high, carrying countless Yellow Spring Ghost-faced Snakes as it rolled down.

"How can there be so many Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Snakes? Is the Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Snakes' lair further upstream?" Zhu Hongzhi's exclamation was cut short as he finished speaking.

After the waves reached their highest point, they slowly receded, and a huge, pitch-black creature gradually emerged from the water.

It was a gigantic Yellow Spring Ghost Face Serpent, no less large than the Ghost Eye Python. Its black scales shone like ebony, and the white human face pattern on its head was as terrifying as the face of a demon king.

It opened its mouth, bit a phoenix that was swooping down, and swallowed it whole.

The level 30 phoenix didn't even have a chance to fight back before it was swallowed alive.

The next second, the colossal Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Serpent opened its dark, gaping maw, which seemed to contain a black hole, generating a tremendous suction force that forcefully sucked in all the phoenixes within a few dozen meters and swallowed them whole.

"How... how could there be such a huge Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Serpent..." Cold sweat broke out on Bai Yueguang's forehead.

The Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Serpent only grows to three feet long in a thousand years, and only grows to one foot in another thousand years. This enormous Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Serpent must have lived for countless years.

Although it is still only a level 30 Mystic Spirit, it has consumed countless rare and precious herbs over such a long period of time, so its own vital energy must be profound and its physical strength far surpasses that of other level 30 peerless Mystic Spirits.

Coupled with its boundless superhuman strength and snake venom, this mysterious spirit is practically invincible in this blessed land.

Even if Chen Guan were to reach level 30, his spiritual energy would certainly be deeper than itss, but in terms of strength, it would probably still be far inferior to itss.

This super-powerful Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Serpent sucked with its mouth and whipped with its tail, killing countless phoenixes in an instant.

The flock of phoenixes that were originally hunting down the Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Serpents suddenly became chaotic. Taking advantage of this opportunity, many of the Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Serpents rushed across the section of the river in the giant forest and headed downstream.

"We can't let them get through... The lower reaches of the Flame River are connected to the river channel of the Qilin Mountains..." Chen Guan ordered the troops to attack and intercept the Ghost-Faced Serpents rushing across the river.

These demon-faced snakes are even more dangerous than the phoenix.

When the phoenix arrives, its target is obvious, allowing for time to evade danger and providing countermeasures. However, the Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Serpent is far too insidious. If its numbers increase, it could be a catastrophic disaster, as many people might be controlled by it without even realizing what's happening.

Shi Zhimen commanded his troops to split into several waves to kill the Yellow Spring Ghost Face Serpent in the river. The main focus was on the pets, and it was best not to go in by yourself if possible, because if you were bitten by it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, only a few of the Yellow Spring Ghost-Faced Snakes that rushed downstream managed to escape. Chen Guan and his group occupied a shallow spot in the stream, and taking advantage of the terrain, they were able to kill the vast majority of them.

However, the colossal ghost-faced serpent kept killing the phoenixes, disrupting the phoenix flock's attack on other Yellow Spring ghost-faced serpents. More and more Yellow Spring ghost-faced serpents rushed down, and Chen Guan didn't know how long they could hold out.

Even if he personally went into battle, he couldn't kill a large number of these awakened Yellow Springs Ghost-Faced Snakes in a short time. After all, one person's strength is limited, and besides, he was only level 17.

A loud bird call reverberated across the area. The colossal ghost-faced serpent paused, raised its head, and looked towards the direction of the giant tree, from which the bird call had come.

Chen Guan and the others were overjoyed. The colossal Ghost-Faced Serpent had existed for countless years, and the fact that it had never proliferated downstream meant that there must be an opponent capable of matching it.

Since the Phoenix is ​​the nemesis of the Ghost-Faced Serpent, its king should be able to suppress this colossal Ghost-Faced Serpent; otherwise, a large number of Ghost-Faced Serpents would have already appeared downstream.

The joy of the group was short-lived, as they soon discovered that things were not as simple as they had imagined.

The birdsong emanating from the giant tree did briefly intimidate the colossal demon-faced serpent, but the Phoenix King did not appear.

After a brief pause, the colossal demon-faced serpent resumed its slaughter of the phoenix.

Angry cries echoed from the giant tree, but the Phoenix King never appeared.

"Oh no, our previous guesses might have been partly right. We've probably destroyed our own defenses." Bai Yueguang's face was extremely grim.

Chen Guan understood what she meant. Something must have happened to the Phoenix King. It might be giving birth and unable to leave the nest, or it could be for some other reason.

Whatever the reason, the mysterious spirits on both sides of the River of Flames were likely summoned by the King of the Phoenix to deal with the Ghost-Faced Serpent, rather than to invade the Qilin Mountains.

As a result, Chen Guan and his group came and scattered those spirits, so now no spirits are coming back to help kill the Ghost-Faced Snake.

"What kind of mess is this..." Zhu Hongzhi was also speechless.

All their efforts turned out to be a waste of time and effort, only to benefit the Ghost-Faced Snake.

If the Ghost-Faced Serpent were allowed into the Qilin Mountains, the army and Qilin City would likely never have a peaceful day again.

"Enough talk. Let's stop the Ghost-Faced Serpent and see if we can hold out until the Phoenix King comes out," Chen Guan said calmly.

The war between humans and the mysterious spirits of the Phoenix Forest was inevitable, so it was bound to happen sooner or later, and that's not wrong.

Now we only need to solve the immediate problem: how to stop the Ghost-Faced Snake.
