The ground around was already covered with the corpses of poisonous snakes, and the air was filled with a stench of blood. Even though the members of the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps were being forced to retreat step by step, they did not panic at all, continuously suppressing with firepower.

The mercenaries were indeed very strong; after a brief moment of panic, they managed to organize an effective defense!

But the commander knew very well in his heart that this was only temporary! Because there were simply too many snakes—if they ran out of bullets, what would follow would be the truly cruel moments!

And indeed, the commander's worries became reality! In an effort to suppress the snakes, everyone quickly used up their bullets. Without firearms, mercenaries were at best slightly stronger humans!

"Damn, we're out of bullets!" a warrior said with a tremble and despair in his voice as he watched the snake swarm surge forward once again.

To be buried in a swarm of snakes, to become food in the belly of poisonous serpents, the thought of this scene made everyone's heart flicker with desolation.

Those who become mercenaries do not fear death! But not fearing death doesn't mean they can ignore so many poisonous snakes!

One of the mercenaries pulled out a pistol with a bitter smile on his face, "Brothers? I'm going ahead!"

With that, he pointed the gun at his own temple and with a bang, the gun sounded—heavy, his body crashed to the ground.

The scene instantly fell silent! No one mocked the fallen comrade for his weakness.

He was one of the few in the Mercenary Corps who, despite being shot eight times, still carried a submachine gun and charged forward without fear of death! But even such a person couldn't withstand the threat of the vast swarm of snakes.

"What do we do?" The others' gazes flickered, no one wanted to die until absolutely necessary.

The commander also pulled out a short dagger, and said gravely, "Brothers, now we..."

Woo woo woo! At that moment, a low sound came from the jungle. Under the influence of this sound, a struggle appeared in the eyes of the poisonous snakes, and they temporarily stopped attacking.

"Thank God, they finally made a move!" the commander's face showed a hint of relief.

The source of this sound was from the people of the Black Witch.

In fact, the Black Witch was also very conflicted. If they helped the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps now, they might offend the Huaxia Military if they were caught. But they had no choice, they couldn't just watch the mercenaries be annihilated, could they?

By that time, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps would definitely not let the Black Witch off!

So, seeing that there was no hope for the mercenaries to break through, the Black Witch had to blow the Gu flute, attempting to wrest control of the snake swarm!

When the sound of the flute arose, Miao Yuting's face suddenly turned pale, and the speed of her chanting increased!

She was the one who had laid the Gu Technique, but at this moment, the other side was forcibly usurping control—it showed how powerful they were!

"I won't admit defeat!" Miao Yuting swore silently in her heart, "I will make Ling Feng brother admire me, I will not lose to the Black Witch!"

On the other side, a middle-aged man from the Black Witch flashed a look of surprise. He didn't expect Miao Yuting to be so tenacious!

"It's no surprise that she's the granddaughter of the Gu King; her talent is indeed very rare!" the middle-aged man praised inwardly. "But all of this is now ending, as the Black Witch Great Witch, how could you possibly stop me?"

With that thought, the middle-aged man blew his Gu Flute even louder!

The snakes surrounding the Mercenary Corps began to grow more agitated, constantly writhing and fighting amongst themselves.

With a retching sound, Miao Yuting spat out a mouthful of blood. In the process of fighting with Gu, she was still too inexperienced, far from being a match for the Great Witch.

"I've lost!" Disappointment covered Miao Yuting's face, and her eyes shimmered with tears.

"Good child, you've done very well already!" A gentle voice arrived at that moment. "We, the White Witch, do not like conflict, but we are not afraid of it! I'm already very happy that you could hold out against the Black Witch Great Witch for so long!"

A middle-aged woman of the Miao Ethnic Group came up behind Miao Yuting. Miao Yuting wiped the tears from her face, "Mom, help me, I cannot let down Brother Feng's expectations of me!"

Aunt Lin stroked Miao Yuting's head, smiling as she said, "Leave the rest to Mom!"

The truth was, Ling Feng's earlier visit to the Miao Village was aimed at seeking their help! On one hand, the relationship between the Gu King and the Dragon Group was quite good, and the White Witch recognized the rule of Huaxia; on the other hand, the Black Witch had already begun to make moves against the White Witch, making an alliance between the White Witch and the Dragon Valor Squad a win-win situation!

Moreover, Ling Feng was certain that if the Black Witch truly had ties with the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, they would definitely not miss this opportunity!

As longer they waited, the better their team would become, posing a greater threat to them!

Therefore, Ling Feng expressed his intentions to seek cooperation that very day!

After many considerations, Aunt Lin decided to agree to cooperate with the Dragon Valor Squad, which is why she had arrived early at the Dragon Valor Squad's camp, quietly waiting for the Black Witch to make their move!

As Ling Feng had expected, the people of the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps indeed came, followed closely by those of the Black Witch, who made their covert move!

"Black Witch, our conflict is nothing more than a difference in philosophy. Although there is strife, we are all descendants of the Witch Ancestor of the Miao Ethnic Group. I never expected that, to defeat us White Witches, you would collude with a foreign organization and harm the citizens of Huaxia, which is an unforgivable crime!" Aunt Lin's grave voice slowly spread out.

"Therefore, we, the lineage of the White Witch, hereby declare war on you, and now, let you taste the wrath of the White Witch!" Aunt Lin uttered a few extremely obscure musical notes from her mouth.

When these notes emerged, everyone around felt a chill, except for Miao Yuting, who stared wide-eyed. "Mom, you've actually learned the Witch Language Secret Technique?"

The so-called Witch Language Secret Technique was a heritage within the Witch Clan of the Miao Ethnic Group, said to possess miraculous powers back in ancient times. Sadly, most of the Witch Language had been lost, and those that remained were too obscure and difficult to comprehend, even for witches.

Clearly, Mom was using the Witch Language Secret Technique! Miao Yuting never thought that the most obscure Witch Language could be mastered by Mom, who now looked up to her with intense admiration.

"We're finally saved!" People of the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps heaved a sigh of relief, as if they'd had a narrow escape from disaster.

"Quick, leave this place!" the Commander said. "Take advantage of the moment, and retreat!"

And just at that time, the snakes seemed to become paralyzed, and deep in the jungle, the Black Witch seemed to be struck by some attack!

With a snap, the Gu Flute in his hand actually broke, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of shock: "Who was it that broke my Gu Technique? Could it be that the Gu King has come back?"
