I’ll go to the one on the left.

The six of you, Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Bao, go to the front one.

Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and Yuan Cheng, go to the one at the back.

Once under the tree, no one should make any noise.

Climb up quietly, and after finding a good position, decide on your attack strategy to deliver a single, powerful strike and inflict the greatest damage possible.

For climbing the tree and finding a position, I’ll only give you about five minutes.

After five minutes, watch for my signal, and we’ll attack together!”

Judging from previous hunting experiences, with such a massive creature as Teng Jiao, expecting a one-hit kill is impossible with the strength of their group of seven.

If that’s the case, they can only aim for a severe hit to minimize costs for subsequent hunting.

After Xia Hong finished speaking, he kept silent and gestured towards the trees in front and behind Teng Jiao.

The six behind him immediately split into two groups and sneaked over with no sound.

Seeing all six begin to climb the trees, Xia Hong also moved under the large tree on the left, tightened the giant axe on his back, and started to climb up.

Teng Jiao’s position was too high, at least over ten meters off the ground, with only its tail hanging down to the ground.

Without climbing, they couldn’t reach its main body.

In the Cloud Mist Zone, all was silent and tranquil.

Only seven black silhouettes ascended the trees’ trunks silently.

While climbing, Xia Hong suddenly felt an icy sensation in his right hand, followed by a sticky feel, causing a moment of alarm.

“What is this?”

Exerting force with his left hand to hold steady, Xia Hong withdrew his right hand and, shocked, saw a large glob of translucent sticky liquid on it.

Slightly raising his head, he noticed another large glob on the bark above.

“Why does this seem like some kind of secretion?”

Startled, Xia Hong looked up quickly and realized the secretion came from Teng Jiao, which was sleeping.

To be accurate, it was the saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth as it slept.

He chose the tree on the left because Teng Jiao’s head was drooping directly above this tree.

Teng Jiao’s saliva didn’t seem to flow continuously.

Although its mouth corner hung a strand of saliva, it accumulated slowly and seemed like it would take a long time to fall.

The glob on the tree must have dripped previously.

Without further thought, Xia Hong continued to climb.

As he passed the large glob of saliva, a fragrant scent filled his nostrils, suddenly invigorating his senses and brightening his eyes.

“Can this saliva neutralize poison?”

Covering their mouth and nose with damp cloths didn’t completely block the Cloud Mist Zone’s poison, but their Earth-digging Realm physique allowed them temporary resistance to this filtered poison mist.

Upon entering the Cloud Mist Zone, a strong discomfort was felt within their bodies.

But just now, after inhaling the fragrant scent of the saliva, Xia Hong distinctly felt the discomfort within him disappear instantly!

“Confirm it later; focus on the task first!”

Suppressing his excitement, Xia Hong took some saliva with his hand and smeared it on his face, then continued climbing.

For those long experienced in hunting, tree climbing was no challenge.

A height of just over ten meters would usually take seven or eight seconds at most.

But facing Teng Jiao for the first time, coupled with Xia Hong’s repeated instructions, everyone climbed cautiously, taking roughly two to three minutes to reach the top.

Being the first to reach the top, Xia Hong carefully moved to a horizontal branch, glancing at Teng Jiao’s head, which was less than ten meters away from him.

Teng Jiao’s eyes were tightly shut, and the white mist from its nostrils almost solidified.

The two bulges on its forehead intensified its ferocious visage.

Xia Hong, concentrating his mind, worried about startling it with his proximity, withdrew the giant axe from his back, turned, and looked towards the other two trees.

Xia Chuan and the three brothers, Zhao Long, were ready.

Each of the six had drawn their weapons.

Seeing Xia Hong looking over, they nodded at him from a distance, signaling their readiness.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Hong extended his right hand, preparing to signal.

As he turned to look at Teng Jiao, panic suddenly gripped him.

The previously closed eyes of Teng Jiao were wide open.

Its pair of red vertical pupils stared intently at him, even pivoting slightly to glance at the front and back trees.

And that’s not all.

The body of Teng Jiao, originally coiled around the middle tree, had somehow spread out, entwining all three trees occupied by the seven, including Xia Hong.

Astonishingly, this Teng Jiao had silently moved so much without any of them noticing!

How…

is this possible…

“Attack!

It’s already discovered us!”

The hairs on Xia Hong’s back stood on end, a chill running through him as he shouted to the six on the other trees.

Simultaneously, he gripped his double-edged giant axe firmly and charged directly toward Teng Jiao’s head.

Hearing Xia Hong’s voice and realizing Teng Jiao had awakened, the six immediately sprang into action.

Xia Chuan leapt forward, left hand holding a flying line and right wielding the Black Blade, lunging toward Teng Jiao’s back; Luo Yuan, positioned higher, jumped and swung directly at Teng Jiao’s spine; Yuan Cheng tightened his grip on the Shock Frost Saber, pushing off the tree and slicing horizontally at Teng Jiao’s flank.

The Zhao Long brothers at the front didn’t use blades.

Skilled in archery, they were positioned to have a clear line of sight to Teng Jiao’s eyes.

As Xia Hong’s shout echoed, the three fired their preloaded iron Black Arrows swiftly.
