Chapter 626: Chapter 252: Snake King

...

On the other side.

After sending the goat back to the Xu Family, Little White returned to the place where the yellow snake was just discovered. It was still in the original spot, completely unaware that anything was amiss.

At this moment, the yellow snake suddenly turned and crawled toward a dense bush.

This bush was extremely dense. Not to mention from a thousand meters in the air, even from the ground, an adult looking down wouldn’t be able to see the situation beneath the bush.

Fortunately, Little White’s Divine Eagle Skill had improved significantly today, greatly enhancing its eyesight. Even from a thousand meters in the air, it could see through the tiny gaps in the bush and track the yellow snake’s direction.

Without hesitation, Little White chased after it.

Before long, Little White followed the yellow snake into a bamboo forest on the Great Mountain. From a bird’s eye view, the bamboo forest was vast, occupying an entire mountain top. Moreover, Little White could clearly sense a terrifying aura within this bamboo forest.

This aura was sinister and venomous, and just from perceiving it, its power was far stronger than Little White, even with the boost from its Divine Eagle Skill.

From above, there was a layer of white mist surrounding the depths of the bamboo forest. The scene within wasn’t visible, but Little White’s predatory instinct told it that beneath the fog, it was extremely dangerous.

Despite this, Little White resolutely charged into the airspace above the bamboo forest. After all, the Divine Eagle Skill included techniques for concealing one’s aura.

Furthermore, with its perception, Little White could tell that the terrifying presence within the bamboo forest was still in slumber. Using the concealment technique from the Divine Eagle Skill wouldn’t get it detected.

But then.

As soon as Little White flew into the bamboo forest, the yellow snake in its sights suddenly accelerated, and it could see nervousness in the little snake’s eyes.

Little White understood it had been discovered.

Now it realized why such a small snake was sent to scout outside the Great Wilderness Border Village. It had special abilities and an exceptionally strong perception.

Since it had been detected, it couldn’t be left alive. After all, it had been outside the village the whole time, and its gaze was constantly fixed on the Xu Family’s direction. It couldn’t be a good snake; better to get rid of it.

Little White’s speed instantly increased, initially just at the speed of an ordinary bird of prey flying. But in the next moment, its silhouette vanished from its original spot, leaving only a white figure in the sky under the moonlight.

As Little White’s figure disappeared, the sound of bamboo clashing, ”crack-crack,” echoed through the bamboo forest.

The yellow snake took advantage of the gap, looked up, and saw only bamboo trembling inexplicably not far away. It realized that the ”crack-crack” sound was the result of the air currents caused by Little White’s flight, which made the bamboo sway in the wind.

Suddenly, the expression on the yellow snake’s face changed from tense to terrified.

The bamboo forest being its old home, it knew exactly how sturdy the bamboo was here. The white snake demons outside the Great Wilderness Border Village all cultivated in this bamboo forest, absorbing the bamboo forest’s aura to gain such a terrifying defense.

Even so, the bamboo embedded firmly in the ground could be set in motion just by the air currents from flying, making the ”crack-crack” sound. It was enough to show the formidable power of the bird of prey chasing it.

When the yellow snake was about to continue fleeing, a white claw suddenly appeared before its eyes.

Luckily, it reacted quickly and burrowed into the stones beneath it. This was why it dared to stay and observe; its unique ability allowed it to traverse through stones, coupled with its perception talent, it was tasked to monitor the Xu Family.

The strike evaded, Little White landed steadily on the bamboo, the bamboo bending into an arc with the weight of Little White.

It looked somewhat surprised at the yellow snake hiding in the stone. Unexpectedly, such a weak little snake not only had remarkable perception abilities but also such peculiar talent—a snake that could hide inside stones was indeed unique.

However, no matter how peculiar its abilities were, monitoring the Xu Family meant it was courting death...

Immediately, Little White’s eyes sharpened, exuding a series of chilling auras. The yellow snake hiding within the stone, upon seeing Little White’s piercing gaze, trembled incessantly.

Originally, it thought it was just a simple surveillance task assigned by the Snake King, requiring it to persevere until the Snake King fully awakened. However, it attracted such trouble, making it seem hard to evade today’s ordeal.

Even if the bamboo forest contained countless stones, with the prowess of the bird of prey pursuing it, these stones might as well be tofu.

At most, it would only delay its death momentarily. Besides, what was happening deep within the bamboo forest was far more important than this little snake. No Demon Beast would come to its rescue.

But if given the chance to live, who would want to die? Demon Beasts are the same.

While contemplating, Little White’s figure appeared amid the stones where the yellow snake was hiding. Its iron-like claws, under the moonlight, glimmered with a chilling light, and upon merely touching the stone, it turned into powder.

As soon as the stone was destroyed, the yellow snake fled and escaped into another stone.

Each time the yellow snake slipped into a stone, Little White would shatter that stone, turning it into powder.
