Battle Through the Heavens: It turns out I'm actually the patriarch of the Xiao family!

Chapter 60: A Definitely a Tool Snake

"Waaah—"

'

With several scorching shrieks tearing through the air, the dozen or so lava-like two-headed fire spirit snakes suddenly contracted.

The snakes intertwined and coiled, instantly creating a blazing net that blotted out the sky.

An unimaginable heat erupted, distorting the air like boiling water.

Then, more than a dozen fire spirit snakes dispersed, forming a fiery array that swept towards Xiao Chen in the center.

More than a dozen enormous creatures, each several meters long, flew and attacked within the cave, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Looking up at the two-headed fire spirit snakes charging from all directions, Xiao Chen's face showed a faint smile.

"boom!"

With a deafening explosion, more than a dozen two-headed fire serpents collided almost simultaneously at the center, exploding instantly upon contact.

The fierce energy explosion transformed into ripples that spread outwards, causing the lava lake, which had just calmed down, to erupt into a frenzied uproar once more.

Under such a terrifying attack that could almost destroy half of Stone Desert City, they were completely powerless to resist.

"Senior Xiao Chen is truly amazing!"

All eyes were fixed on the raging flames.

Where the energy spread, a young figure was faintly visible.

As its figure appeared, the surrounding red flames surged towards it, or more precisely, towards its shoulders.

It was as if the place had become a black hole, with red flames pouring in from all around. The speed at which the flames poured in was so insane that it eventually caused a huge vortex of fire to form above the cave, and at the center of the vortex was Xiao Jin.

The surrounding crimson flames grew fainter and fainter until finally, they were completely swallowed by Little Gold.

Xiao Chen stood calmly in mid-air.

"Little friend, your little bit of fire isn't even enough to fill Little Gold's teeth," Xiao Chen stretched and said with a smile to the two-headed fire spirit snake below.

"hiss----"

Seeing its own flames being devoured by the small golden snake on the shoulder of the human in the air, a very human-like shock flashed across the Fire Spirit Serpent's huge eyes.

"I'm sorry, but it will be up to you to activate Qinglin's abilities next."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, took a step forward, and instantly appeared above the Fire Spirit Serpent's body. He raised his fist again, moved rapidly, and his fist, enveloped in cyan energy, slammed into the serpent's massive body repeatedly.

With each powerful punch, the fiery red scales on the Fire Spirit Serpent's body, strong enough to withstand the intense heat of lava, would shatter piece by piece.

Under Xiao Chen's fierce attacks, the Fire Spirit Serpent could only twist its massive body continuously, and a series of mournful hisses echoed throughout the cave.

The heavy punch slammed down again, and the Fire Spirit Serpent finally couldn't bear the excruciating pain any longer. It burrowed into the lava lake, its body covered in wounds, and then disappeared into the lava.

"Cool!"

Looking at the Fire Spirit Serpent that chose to retreat, Xiao Chen stretched.

As the fire serpent retreated, the turbulent lava cavern gradually calmed down.

However, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Chen stood in mid-air for nearly ten minutes, just like a normal person would, to confirm that the fire spirit snake had really retreated. Only then did he casually wave to the people in the distance and pretend to search.

The two-headed fire serpent must first lower its guard before it dares to seek revenge.

In Xiao Chen's eyes, the pitiful two-headed fire spirit snake was already nothing more than a tool snake.

"Xiao Jin, why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

Having gotten far enough away from there, and seeing that the two-headed fire spirit snake still hadn't made a move against Qinglin and the others, Xiao Chen felt a little bored.

"Looks like this little guy is quite vigilant," Xiao Jin praised.

"But your broken Dou Qi Continent is really strange, it's full of odd physiques."

First there was the Calamity Poison Body, and now this little girl's eyes are just as peculiar.

"Keep it low-key."

After saying that, Xiao Chen continued to pretend to search for the strange fire.

Another half hour passed, but the two-headed fire spirit snake still did not move, and Xiao Chen was starting to get a little impatient.

"Little Gold, could it be that I hit it too hard and it's too weak to fight back?" Xiao Chen frowned.

-

"This...it shouldn't be, right?" Xiao Jin was also a little uncertain.

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, and was about to continue searching when Qing Lin's sharp cry suddenly rang out from the cave.

Upon hearing the scream, Xiao Chen's face lit up with joy, and he quickly turned his head to look into the distance.

Near where Qinglin and the others stood, the fire spirit snake, which had previously fled, suddenly emerged from the lava once more.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen feigned a grim expression, let out a curse, and suddenly turned around, rushing off in that direction.

"You cunning beast!"

Xiao Chen swept wildly across the cave, and because his speed was so crazy, a long trail was created in the magma below by the fierce wind pressure.

However, it was clearly too late.

"Thump!"

With a sound of water breaking through, the enormous two-headed fire spirit serpent opened its ferocious maw and stared menacingly at Qing Lin and the others in front of it with its bloodthirsty eyes.

"Qinglin, run!"

Upon seeing the appearing fire spirit snake, one of the men, whose strength was at the Dou Shi level, was the first to regain his composure, grabbed Qing Lin, and then retreated rapidly.

The others also turned to flee.

Seeing the humans trying to escape, a mocking sneer flashed in the Fire Spirit Serpent's giant eyes. Its huge mouth opened wide, its head snapped back, and a terrifying suction force suddenly appeared.

Instantly, Qinglin and the others, who were retreating, were slowly dragged towards the Fire Spirit Serpent by this suction force.

As the suction reached its peak, the Fire Serpent opened its giant mouth once more, unleashing a terrifying force that slammed them heavily against the mountain wall.

"Pfft."

Their bodies slammed heavily against the mountainside, and many people coughed up blood.

Because the mercenary was there to protect her, Qinglin was not seriously injured.

However, when she saw the increasingly approaching, hideous snake head, her face turned deathly pale with fright.

Perhaps because of the trace of snake-human blood in Qinglin's body, the Fire Spirit Serpent seemed to have an interest in Qinglin.

Its eyes swept over her, and with a gaping maw, a fierce suction pulled her into the air, causing her to tumble and roll before coming right up to it.

"Don't come any closer—don't—" Looking at the huge, ferocious snake head that was getting closer and closer, Qinglin's delicate face turned pale, and she kept backing away.

"hiss----"

The Fire Spirit Serpent extended its scarlet tongue and slowly hovered over Qinglin's petite body.

The stench emanating from the snake's tongue nearly made Qinglin faint.

Not far away, the mercenary watched as the green scale was about to be swallowed by the fire spirit snake. He wanted to save it, but the green scale had already lost its ability to move.

At that moment, he could only watch helplessly as the Fire Spirit Serpent's tongue slowly moved across Qinglin's body.

The snake licked Qinglin's little hand with its tongue. Suddenly, one of the Fire Spirit Snake's huge heads turned sharply back, staring at Xiao Chen who was rushing over. A fierce glint flashed in its huge eyes. The soft snake tongue instantly became as hard as steel, and then it fiercely stabbed down into Qinglin's chest.

In the distance, Xiao Chen, who was flying back, watched the Fire Spirit Serpent's actions. His face was filled with rage and killing intent, but a hint of expectation flashed deep in his eyes.
