129: Chapter 129 Why fight alone when you can gang up on others?

"Why, do you still have that weak companion from just now?"

The Fire Snake King said with a tone of disdain, "Even if a hundred more came, they would not be this King's match. Prepare to die!"

"Zhushou!"

Feng Yange shouted. The Fire Snake King paused its attack, squinting its eyes as it stared at the human who was still struggling. "Ant, do you have any last words?"

As soon as the words fell, a white ball of meat appeared before it.

The Fire Snake King was stunned, then burst into loud laughter, nearly choking on its own breath. "This is the helper you spoke of? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

Zhushou glared with its round, big eyes. "Mistress, it actually dared to mock me."

"It said it wants to eat me. Can you kill it for me?"

As soon as Feng Yange spoke, Zhushou jumped back. "Mistress, can you act like a human? I'm so small, I'm not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth, and you want me to kill it..."

"This Fire Snake King's meat is delicious and highly nourishing..."

"Little loach, pay with your life!" Before Feng Yange could finish speaking, Zhushou leaped forward, opened its bloody maw, and bit down on the Fire Snake King's vital point. The Fire Snake King's massive body quickly tangled and wrestled with it. Although Zhushou's body was small, every bite it took from the Fire Snake King's body managed to tear off a chunk of flesh, causing the Fire Snake King to howl in pain.

Feng Yange retreated to a safe area, looking at Zhushou's small frame. "If you want to eat the Fire Snake King's meat, you have to work for it. Don't tell me you all want to snatch meat from Zhushou's hands?"

As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, a hundred Swords were launched from the space, stabbing towards the Fire Snake King's body. The Fire Snake King, which was already howling from Zhushou's bites, was ambushed again and cursed angrily, "Despicable human, where did you get so many Swords?"

Feng Yange shrugged. "Can't help it. Good Swords go with good people. For a good person like me, having a hundred Swords isn't excessive, right?"

"Shameless!"

The Fire Snake King was about to be stabbed into a sieve. Its body twisted into a ball. Just as its tail swept past, it was struck by 'thwack, thwack, thwack' sounds, and it shrieked repeatedly. Feng Yange withdrew her gaze and focused on the magma river.

"System, where is the fire spirit bead?"

[Host, the fire spirit bead is inside the Fire Snake King's body. Kill it to obtain the fire spirit bead.]

"Mistress, are you alright?" Long Ze and the others arrived. Seeing the scene of the fight in the distance, they hurried to Feng Yange's side to ask. Seeing blood at the corner of her mouth, their eyes were filled with worry.

"I'm fine. Wait for them to kill the Fire Snake King and retrieve the fire spirit bead." Feng Yange had them collect all the spiritual plants on both sides of the magma. Only then did she return to the Fire Snake King. It no longer had any offensive power; its body was covered in hundreds of lacerations, blood flowing freely, and it was on the verge of death.

"Human, you have no martial ethics."

"Who talks about martial ethics with you? When you were bullying me by relying on your strength, did you have any martial ethics?" Feng Yange scoffed coldly. The Fire Snake King took an unwilling look at Feng Yange and completely breathed its last.

Suddenly, weak struggling came from the space. Feng Yange summoned him out. The little black bird struggled, fell next to the blood-covered Fire Snake King, and greedily pecked at the Fire Snake King's blood.

"It seems the Fire Snake King's blood helps his injuries. You all, use bottles to collect some blood and feed it to Xiao Hei later." As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, the black bird, which was buried in its work, had its feathers tremble and it froze.

"Mistress, the fire spirit bead."

Long Ze handed the dug-out fire spirit bead to Feng Yange. It was a fist-sized, fire-red bead. Feng Yange put it into her storage ring. "Collect the Fire Snake King's meat too, and clean it up."

"Yes!"

Feng Yange picked up the little black bird. "From now on, I'll call you Xiao Hei. I'll keep you in the space. All the Fire Snake King's blood is yours. Stay well and don't cause trouble, otherwise, you'll be ganged up on."

Xiao Hei stared at Feng Yange and struggled a few times. Seeing that Feng Yange ignored him, he gave up resisting and was thrown into the space.

Inside the space, a group of Sword spirits gathered around. Xiao Hei watched them guardedly; their smiles were too creepy.

"Xiao Hei, you can eat whatever you want here from now on. You must eat until you're strong, fat, and preferably the kind that bursts with juice..."

The old Sword spirit shut his mouth immediately upon hearing Sword draw its blade as soon as he finished speaking.

"Mistress didn't say to eat it, so it is a companion. You are not allowed to plot against it, especially you." Sword stared at Zhushou, that chubby ball. After being warned, Sword grunted in dissatisfaction but dared not refute.

"Whoever doesn't listen, don't blame me for burning you all to a crisp with one fire!" Dengdeng's soft, sweet voice carried a warning. She was the only girl in there, and also the one with the most explosive temper.

Dengdeng squatted down, revealing a cute yet creepy smile. "Be good and don't make trouble, otherwise, being bald will look even uglier."

Xiao Hei squatted in the corner, his eyes filled with terror.

[Ding, detected that the Secret Realm is about to collapse. Host, please leave immediately.]

Feng Yange's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly summoned the flying ship. "Quick, the Secret Realm is collapsing, let's go immediately."

Feng Yange took everyone onto the flying ship. The surrounding lava cliffs began to shed stones, splashing magma high up. The flying ship flew upward rapidly and, at the moment the Secret Realm collapsed, finally arrived at the Secret Realm above.

"Almost didn't make it up."

Li Mingye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked around. "Mistress, this doesn't seem to be the Secret Realm we were staying in."

Others also noticed it. It was dark and damp here, and there were many beast tribe auras lurking in the shadows, waiting in ambush. They had been targeted.

"Quick, let's leave here immediately."

Feng Yange put away the flying ship, and the group walked out towards the forest. This should be the normal training range of the Jiuyou Secret Realm. As for the places they had been to before, they were likely randomly dropped Opportunities.

"Mistress, look!"

Ling Feng shouted, pointing to the sky over the distant mountains. Dark clouds were surging, with lightning and thunder. This was... Tribulation Clouds!

"Let's go over there. Someone is Undergoing Tribulation, my Lightning Tribulation!" Feng Yange called them, and the group rushed towards the location where the Tribulation Clouds were gathering.

"A-Ze, who do you think is Undergoing Tribulation this time? Xiao Bufan?"

Feng Yange was very excited. She had been craving that guy's Tribulation Clouds twice already. Lightning from the Heavens and such, that is highly nourishing.

"Mistress, we can go slower. Judging by this speed, it should take about another hour before the Undergoing Tribulation begins." Long Ze said this, feeling a bit helpless. Others were facing life-and-death Tribulation, but the Mistress only had eyes for the Heavenly Lightning.

"Do you think the Heavenly Dao won't be so stingy this time? Not letting me mooch off the lightning?"

Feng Yange looked up at the sky and muttered inwardly: The Heavenly Dao is really stingy. It's just mooching some lightning. Others can successfully undergo the tribulation, and she can nourish her Lightning Spirit Root; isn't this a good thing?

"Mistress, the Tribulation Clouds have dispersed..."

Li Mingye looked at the Tribulation Clouds rapidly dispersing in the distant sky in disbelief and rubbed his eyes again. The Tribulation Clouds were truly dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Feng Yange was also dumbfounded. What was going on?

Could the Heavenly Dao really be targeting her?

Feng Yange looked up, and a line of words suddenly appeared in the sky: Within the Secret Realm, one cannot break through!

Sure enough, it was aimed at her.

"It seems the road to mooching lightning is a dead end. The Heavenly Dao is being a rebellious dad again today..."

Before Feng Yange finished speaking, a bolt of Heavenly Lightning struck Feng Yange with pinpoint accuracy.
