"Swish~"

A white shadow shoot out of the bag, and that shadow, Little White, jumped onto Lu LI’s shoulder. Just after a quick look, Little White started screaming. The hundreds of poisonous snakes in front of them curled up out of fear and dared not to move forward for even a bit.

Lu Li gave it a thumbs up again. Just as he was about to ask Little White to disperse the snakes, he thought of something. Since Little White could suppress and disperse Xuan Beasts of low ranks, then could it control these Xuan Beasts of low ranks?

Lu Li turned to Little White and said, "Little White, can you control these black snakes and ask them to station around here?"

The warriors of the Zhao Family would probably pursue him over the night. If he were to be attacked during sleep, he would die without even knowing it. However, if there were a group of poisonous snakes stationing here, he could have a good night’s sleep.

The black gem-like eyes of Little White turned, and it nodded like a person. Little White called out, and the black snakes, surprisingly, retreated to the sides and made a way for Lu Li but did not leave.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Little White held its head up high, like a child waiting to be praised. Lu Li was over the moon since Little White could really control Xuan Beasts of the First Rank. The intelligence of the little Xuan Beast was remarkable.

He moved to the snakes step by step, yet the snakes did not dare to move a bit. After Lu Li came over, they automatically blocked the road again. The snakes stayed there without leaving one bit.

Lu Li slowly walked forward. After some distance, he became even more delighted after he made sure that the black snakes really did not leave.

He held Little White down from his shoulder, patted its head with pleasure and sighed with emotion. "Little White, you are so good. If I have the chance in the future, I will find you the most delicious food."

"Squeak~ squeak~"

On hearing food, Little White’s eyes glistened and kissed Lu Li’s palm with its little pink tongue. It looked at Lu Li in a fawning way. It looked nothing like a powerful Xuan Beasts, but a tamed dog waiting for its dinner…

"Hiss, Hiss~"

More black snakes appeared ahead of them. The hill seemed to be the lair of these black snakes as they were everywhere. Fortunately, Lu Li had Little White. Otherwise, if Lu Li were to force his way in by himself, it would definitely be an arduous fight, and Lu Li might be killed with poison.

By the time Lu Li walked another mile, he had ran into more than thousands of poisonous snakes. Lu Li did not have the courage to go on anymore. What if there was a snake king in the depth of the hill that Little White could not suppress.

After wandering around for a bit, Lu Li found a few caves, but all of them were full of snakes and there was a pungent stink odor inside.

Lu Li had no other choice but to dig himself a little hole using his Heaven Kylin Sword. He asked Little White to control the black snakes so that they would station and protect him within a radius of 1000 square feet. Lu Li observed for a while and fell soundly into sleep in his quilt after confirming his safety.

After heaven knew how long, Lu Li was woken by some noises. He seemed to hear some angry roar of warriors.

Soon, Lu Li became completely woken up. He listened attentively for a while and assumed the people pursuing him had caught up with him. They were probably fighting with the snake swarms.

"Good timing!"

Lu Li was ready to fight and kill. He had no intention of fleeing but to murder.

There were thousands of poisonous snakes around here. Little White could control all of them. Therefore, even if there were warriors at the Spirit Sea Realm among the 11 people, Lu Li was not scared.

"Little White, my enemies have caught up with me. Go and help me, control the poisonous snakes to attack them!"

Lu Li talked to Little White whose eyes were heavy with sleep. Little White was finally awake. Seeing that Lu Li was serious, Little White nodded. Lu Li now was relieved. He picked up his things and sneaked forward.

It was now before dawn, the darkest moment of the day. It was pitch black all around, so dark that it was frightening.

Lu Li released his Xuan Energy and asked Little White to control the black snakes to follow them under the dim light. Lu Li circled around there and Little White had already controlled hundreds of poisonous snakes to follow them.

"Go!"

Lu Li was now much more confident with the several hundred snakes following him. He sneaked his way towards the battlefield. He was just a few miles in the depth of the hill, so he got to the outside in just an hour. In the distance, he saw a group of people fighting against the black poisonous snakes.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The Xuan Artifacts in those men’s hands shone. They wielded their sword. Many snakes shoot up from the ground in the wilderness and surrounded these men.

"Go!"

Lu Li slowly walked closer. After another about 800 feet, he made it to a col and observed. With the light from his Xuan Energy, Lu Li finally saw clearly who they were.

"Di Huo!"

Fire of rage was about to come out of Lu Li’s eyes. He would have never thought that Di Huo was among the people hunting him down. When foes met, they would get exceptionally angry, let alone Di Huo came here particularly to kill him.

"The 11 people, all of them are warriors at the late-stage and peak of the Xuan Wu Realm. They are all of the Zhao Family! Good, very good!"

Lu Li put his mind at ease. Still, he did not make any rash moves. After some observation, Lu Li was certain that there was no powerful warrior lurking around. He said to Little White in a low voice, "Make the snakes to surround these men. Surround them for several times. We cannot let even one of them leave."

A ferocious look flashed through Little White’s eyes. It screamed in a kind of exciting way. The poisonous snakes right away passed through Lu Li and Little White and swarmed forward like two gigantic arrows.

"Move!"

Lu Li did not even look at the battle field and moved stealthily with Little White. They called for all the poisonous snakes nearby and asked Little White to control them to rush to the battlefield and encircle them in several laps…

Lu Li could not completely settle his mind at ease and took some detour to the foot of the mountain. When Di Huo and the other warriors broke out of an encirclement, he was ready to do it himself.

Di Huo once brought Di Tian and almost raped Lu Ling, and they also caused her to break her leg. She stayed in the mountains for so many days and had to crawl back by herself with a broken leg.

Last time, Di Huo escaped in the tribe. This time, how could he pursue Lu Li by himself? All these old and new issues, Lu Li had decided to never let Di Huo get away this time. Could there be a better time?

Lu Li asked Little White to control nearly 1000 snakes and guided them to encircle the warriors. This time, Lu Li was determined to win.

"Damn, how can there be so many Black Scorch Snakes?"

"What should we do, Di Huo? How about we retreat now? Or else we all have to die here!"

"Yes, we must break out of the encirclement first. If not, we all have to be bitten to death by the poisonous snakes."

The warriors of the Zhao Family were agitated. They fought against the beasts in the forest for a long time. They only got here at dusk following Lu Li’s footprints.

They had no place to spend the night. Di Huo was afraid that Lu Li would get away, so he incited these warriors to keep on pursuing. Little did he know that there would be so many poisonous snakes after they got to this hill…

Black Scorch Snakes, Xuan Beasts of the First Rank, actually were not formidable with regard to their combat ability. However, their venom was like fire. Once a person came in contact with this venom, the person would feel like being burnt, and a large piece of the person’s skin would corrode. That was why they were named the Black Scorch Snake.

These men were in the cyan armor of the Zhao Family. As long as they were careful, they would not be sprayed by the venom. Also, their Xuan Artifacts could kill the Black Scorch Snakes easily. The matter at hand was that there were more and more Black Scotch Snakes. They had been travelling for a day and a night. They were exhausted. They could die here if they were not cautious.

"Retreat!"

Two out of the 11 people had been injured. Di Huo dared not to press on now. With a scowling face, Di Huo knew that he had to lead these warriors to withdraw.

It was not easy for them to break through the encirclement. The Black Scorch Snakes surrounded them closely, so it was extremely difficult for them. Luckily, they were not too deep into the mountains. If everything went right, they could get to the outside within an hour at most.

Admittedly, Di Huo and the warriors of the Zhao Family were quite good fighters. Eight people formed a circle, and each one would attack at a particular direction. Di Huo and the other two warriors stayed in the middle to offer support. Granted that it was hard to break free, but the Black Scorch Snakes could not get closer or hurt the warriors either.

"Not good…"

Lu Li was hiding under a big boulder. He saw Di Huo and his gang were slowing retreating to the foot of the mountain. He knew that at the moment, the Black Scorch Snakes could no longer keep the warriors around for long. He had to take the matter into his own hand now.

"Kill!"

Lu Li secretly and quietly took out a little black mechanized crossbow. The enemies were outside and he was hiding. It was now the perfect time to launch a surprise attack. As long as he could kill some of them using his Death Seeking Crossbow, their formation would be broken, and the rest would be easier to deal with.
