Luckily, it was Solana who came. If it had been Anna, she wouldn’t have escaped for sure.

Most of the disciples of the Five Poison Sect have a fear of flames, and Ebon Grand Protector was no exception. He moved aside, allowing Solana to break through.

“Hehe, you’re not going anywhere!” The Serpent King’s mocking laugh echoed from behind, like the eerie forewarning of death.

Having broken free from the Serpent Altar, Solana realized her speed wouldn’t outpace her opponent, so she immediately hid.

Just when she thought she was safe, a giant snake appeared from behind her without warning.

“Ah!” Despite fighting her way out of Dark Night Islands and witnessing countless horrors, this moment left her startled.

With quick reflexes, she tried to use fire, but the snake’s bite paralyzed her arm in an instant.

“Hehe, now that we have you, we’ve got another piece to play in our negotiations!” The Serpent King’s head suddenly appeared from the giant snake’s mouth, creating an eerie sight.

This was a sight Solana had never seen before.

What kind of creature is the Serpent King exactly?

Just as the Serpent King was about to sink his fangs into her delicate neck, a massive hand seized his throat.

“Mr. Quintus!” Seeing Quintus descend from above, Solana, who had been mere moments away from the Grim Reaper, sighed in relief.

“Haha, luckily Magnus reached out to me in time. Could this odd giant snake be the Serpent King?” Quintus laughed loudly, preparing to snap the snake’s head off and eliminate one of the Five Poison Sect’s formidable Serpent Kings.

Crack!

He pulled it off, but something hastily retreated.

The Serpent King’s head tumbled to the ground, but it turned out to be just the snake’s outer skin.

The very next moment, the giant snake spit qut a humanoid figure–aliving person drenched in snake

venom.

The figure had flowing hair, a slight frame, and no visible chest, making their gender ambiguous.

Hehe, it’s been ages since someone like you has visited our Serpent Lair!” The Serpent King spoke in a gender–neutral tone, his tongue flicking across his snakehead as he spoke.

He tirelessly absorbed the feminine essence of women, seeking to enhance his strength and confront powerful enemies.

“D*mn, I’ve seen a lot in my time, but nothing as nauseating as you!”

Quintus retorted, “You’re a hundred times more repulsive than Snake Master!”

“Oh, you know my godson?” The Serpent King’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

“Your godson?” Quintus raised an eyebrow with a smirk “I suspected a likeness, but I didn’t think it ran this deep!”

“Hehe, he’s just my failed creation. Tina requested I tweak him, but I heard he’s betrayed her now?” The Serpent King chuckled with a hint of pride.”

“Haha, let’s see how your successful creation measures up!” Quintus launched himself into the air and yelled back at Solana, “Solana, go meet up with the others now!”

Gritting her teeth, Solana ignored his command.

Even with Quintus‘ immunity to poisons, Solana knew that facing the Serpent King and Ebon Grand Protector alone was a perilous risk.

Bang!

Quintus delivered a powerful punch straight to the Serpent King’s face.

His triumphant expression barely had time to fade before he noticed something was off.

The punch felt odd, as if he had struck silicone.

The Serpent King’s face warped to absorb the punch’s force, and then he bit down hard on Quintus‘ fist.

For most opponents, this bite was a fatal blow.

Quintus only felt the sting of pain but wasted no time retaliating, landing a punch that shattered the Serpent King’s head.

Once again, the Serpent King employed his shedding technique to avoid being destroyed.

“Hehe, your body seems to be rather unique!”

The Serpent King’s cultivation was clearly superior to that of his Grand Protectors. A single bite revealed Quintus‘ uniqueness, prompting him to sneer coldly. “You carry a powerful energy that can instantly dissolve toxins. In all my years, I’ve never met a freak like you!”

“You’re the true freak! Your whole family is a pack of freaks!”

Even though Quintus wasn’t poisoned, the bite still left him bleeding and wounded, fueling his desire for revenge.

At the same time, Solana noticed Ebon Grand Protector emerging from the altar. With nothing else to Occupy her, she decided to confront him.

On the other side, Mackenzie saw the signal flare and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Magnus‘ voice crackled through the communicator: “Mrs. Lowe, please authorize the withdrawal of the Wolf Warrior Unit from the Serpent Lair and approve an indiscriminate bombing of the area!”

“What?” Mackenzie exclaimed, clearly shocked.

She quickly objected, “No! That’s inhumane and will result in external condemnation!”

“Mrs. Lowe, mercy doesn’t belong in warfare! We’re here for one reason–to eliminate the Five Poison Sect and accomplish our mission. Everything else is of no importance!”

Magnus‘ voice grew serious. “This is a decisive moment in the war. We must destroy the Serpent Lair, wiping out one of their bases to prevent any retaliation

Mackenzie held her silence, refraining from agreeing.

“Mrs. Lowe, war is all about winning! Those who conquer control everything, and after the war, only our victories and achievements will be remembered.”

Magnus‘ anxiety grew as Mackenzie remained silent.

This is a critical moment! We cannot afford any delay!

“No, we can’t bomb recklessly!” Anna’s voice came through the communicator, urgent and sharp. “Quintus and Solana are still inside the Serpent Lair. We can’t proceed with the bombing until they’re safe, and we can’t retreat now either!”

Magnus, frustrated by what he heard, angrily ended the conversation.

Since others suspected his attempt to convince the Serpent King to submit, he was forced into a passive position.

The attempt to convince the Serpent King had failed. Now, Quintus was disobeying orders–he hadn’t retreated immediately after rescuing Solana, which left Mackenzie unable to approve the bombing. It was a domino effect.

“Magnus, don’t be discouraged!”

Though Hattie had not been involved in the conversation, she quickly figured out the situation and encouraged Magnus, “This is your strength! The more complicated and challenging things become, the more your spirit rises! The tougher the obstacle, the more you will shine!”

Magnus managed a smile, but it was a complicated one

At that moment, Ironskull and Ostrich stormed into the camp, urgently reporting, “Your Holiness, it’s bad! A vast army from the Five Poison Sect is marching toward us. There are more than two thousand of them!”

“What? More than two thousand?”

Aurora, who stood behind Mackenzie, was also shocked

Seeing the Saintess remain silent, Rhett understood that the battle was on the verge of shifting again.
