Chapter 535 Slaying a Snake (1/2)
There was a flash of crimson lightning in the air, followed by a piercing cry. Boom!
Dread gripped Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Snake the moment the flash of lightning filled the world around it. Even though this strange-looking monster was only an Emperor-tier monster, the snake still felt threatened by it.
The last time something like this had happened was during its years as a young snake, when it had been hunted by monsters a lot stronger than it.
Instinctively, it raised a water barrier above its head Stained a shade of dark red, the layer of water above the snake's head should have been able to absorb its opponent's incoming attack. However, the crimson lightning fell upon it heavily, like a hammer, threatening to shatter it into pieces.
The water barrier shook violently upon impact. The snake groaned as if it were shouldering some incredible weight on its nonexistent shoulders. The water barrier it had erected overhead seemed as if it could break at any moment. The transparent layer of water suddenly turned solid, then exploded.
Lightly placing one foot before itself, Dumby stepped forth, silently taking on its wraith-like form.
Bam!
Still recovering from Da Zi's attack, the Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Snake turned around and rushed headlong at Dumby.
Dumby deftly sidestepped the snake's headbutt before landing a palm strike on the left side of its head.
The Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Snake immediately shut its eye. Sparks flew out from Dumby's palm as it grazed past the snake's eyelid.
The snake's scales suddenly stood up on end like jackknives, sweeping past Dumby as the snake lunged forward. Dumby shielded itself from them just in time by holding up its wrists in front of itself.
Dumby's black robe was torn to ribbons by the snake's scales, exposing its body. Its dark golden bones glistened ominously from beneath its robe. The snake's sudden attack was enough to push Dumby back, though each step it took backward left a huge crater on the sand.
However, the sand underfoot was soft. As soon as it was parted by Dumby's footsteps, it immediately flowed back around its feet.
A dark flame began burning around Dumby's body. It was coming from the mysterious white jade bone embedded in its body. Dumby rarely had the chance to use it in battle. Most of the time, it was able to finish off any monster with its other abilities, which it could use with greater finesse. On the other hand, Dumby's mastery over the dark flame was still lacking, as it hadn't been obtained via natural means.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
At that moment, inspiration dawned on Dumby. It let the dark flame flow into its palm before slapping it on the three-eyed snake's body, leaving a dark burning palm print on it. Its flames began burning fiercely into the snake's scales.
At first, Gao Peng thought that Dumby's dark flame was burning the water elemental energy in the snake's body. However, looking closely, he saw that it was burning the seawater that was still clinging to the snake's scales.
Incredible. It can even burn saltwater, thought Gao Peng, impressed.
The Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Snake held its head up high. The flames were now causing it incredible pain.
Whoosh—
There was a ripping sound in the air as the water near the beach began to swirl, then a funnel-shaped pillar of water began to rise from the sea and into the air. Suddenly, countless water daggers flew out from the blood-red vortex, cutting through the rocks and sand on the beach. A deafening din broke out across the beach at that moment.
”It's trying to escape. Dumby, stop it,” said Gao Peng, instantly knowing what the snake was trying to do.
The snake's whirlpool attack seemed impressive at first glance. In truth, it was all bark and no bite. The only thing terrifying about it was the fact that the snake intended to use it as a smokescreen in order to facilitate its escape from Dumby and Da Zi.
