CRACK! With a crisp sound, the boulder was crushed under the Shocking Water Snake's head. At the same time, Pei Xiaoxiao's blade sank hilt-deep into the snake's lower jaw.
Almost instantly, blood gushed from the giant snake's jaw. While the blow wasn't fatal, the snake was undeniably grievously wounded.
The Shocking Water Snake raised its head, its eyes unnervingly human-like, filled with savagery, ruthlessness, and a boundless madness.
It made no attempt to flee. Instead, it turned its head to look at Pei Xiaoxiao, and at Zhang Deming, who was now strolling out from the poisonous mist.
"What's wrong? All fired up? It's no use, though," Zhang Deming said lightly.
"Bye-bye!" Pei Xiaoxiao added with a smile, even giving a friendly wave.
Before the Shocking Water Snake could make a move, the wound beneath its head, which had been gushing blood, slowly stopped bleeding.
Something seemed to be squirming within the wound.
