It didn’t wish to submit to a human It chose submission because the alternative was death Now, there was nothing left for the huhts

However, seeing the soft s Xian’s face, and the dismembered corpses scattered all around theht all those beasts at once The snake kne strong and special this huht back to the earth-shattering battles of the past few days

Seeing the indecisive snake, Ling Xian lowered his voice “Still thinking about whether you should followthat tail and kill me However…”

However, he had no choice but to continue pretending as if he was only exhausted, and that he could still summon his powers if he so wished He could not show even the faintest hint of weakness in front of the snake
