"Their speed has increased quite a bit compared to before. It seems they really weren't giving their all previously!"

As the three of them burst into action, Jangonila squinted and muttered in a low voice...

Earlier, Jangonila had suspected that the three of them were hiding something. Now, with this outburst of speed, Jangonila was completely sure of it!

Because now, their current speed was more than twice as fast as before...

"Brother Xiaobei..."

Jangonila heard the definitely anxious voice and turned around!

In that instant, Jangonila saw the girl named Qi Lianlian staring nervously at Hu Xiaobei...

Knowing that she was worried about Hu Xiaobei, Jangonila smiled and spoke!

"You don't have to worry about Master Xiaobei, Master Xiaobei will definitely be fine!"

After saying that, he smiled warmly at Hu Xiaobei...

Previously, Jangonila had interacted with Hu Xiaobei more than once...

So Jangonila knew just how terrifying Hu Xiaobei's strength was!

Also knowing this, he wasn't worried about Hu Xiaobei at all, because he knew those three stood absolutely no chance against Hu Xiaobei...

"Is... is that true? Brother Xiaobei will really be okay?"

Hearing Jangonila's confident words, Qi Lianlian glanced at him and relaxed a little!

However, Qi Lianlian's expression was still somewhat tense...

Because to her, the aura of these three was incredibly terrifying...

Seeing Qi Lianlian's tension, Jangonila smiled and loudly said, "Yes! Master Xiaobei will truly be fine, the ones who'll be in trouble are those three!"

After saying that, he looked at Hu Xiaobei...

Soon, Jangonila squinted his eyes in shock...

Previously, when he was in contact with Hu Xiaobei, he could sense a powerful aura from Hu Xiaobei, an overwhelmingly intense aura that caused one's heart to tremble.

But now, he couldn't sense that strong aura anymore...

He knew he couldn't sense it now, not because his own strength had weakened, but because Jangonila's strength had grown stronger, so he had mastered the ability to suppress his own aura at will.

"How long has it been since we last met, and Master Xiaobei's strength has improved so much again! It seems that I really need to stay by his side as his protector in the future!"

Understanding Hu Xiaobei's power, Jangonila fell completely silent!

Hearing Jangonila's confident response, Qi Lianlian relaxed a little more...

But, she still felt uneasy!

Jangonila noticed this and wanted to explain further, but after thinking about it, he gave up!

He knew that no matter how much he explained, she would still be uneasy, so he might as well let her watch how Hu Xiaobei deals with those three scumbags...

...

Hu Xiaobei was unaware of Qi Lianlian's unease; he was calmly watching those three people...

"Judging by the aura, these three are indeed slightly stronger than Jangonila!"

Hu Xiaobei knew if it were just one, Jangonila wouldn't need to run.

But since there are three of them, Jangonila truly isn't a match...

Realizing this, Hu Xiaobei lightly clenched his fist...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei continued to calmly watch them...

"So calm! He must be scared stiff by us!"

"Uh-huh!"

"I think so too!"

Ecstatically murmuring like this, they completely relaxed...

Seeing their smiles, Hu Xiaobei also smiled!

Then, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes and lightly said, "Freeze!"

The moment he shouted that word, the surrounding space immediately began to stagnate...

"This..."

Originally smug, they were now utterly terrified because they found themselves immobilized, yes, absolutely unable to move!

"What's happening here!"

They shouted in their hearts, utterly terrified...

Hu Xiaobei heard their terrified cries and smiled calmly!

"Guaiguai, Master Xiaobei's strength has grown so much!"

As Hu Xiaobei smiled, Jangonila was left dumbfounded, eyes wide with shock...

Prior, he knew Hu Xiaobei's strength had increased, but now he was still amazed because the rise and change in Hu Xiaobei's strength was truly monumental...

Hu Xiaobei wasn't aware of Jangonila's amazement...

Because he knew this was routine for him!

Glancing at the three of them, Hu Xiaobei lightly snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the grass around them began to grow rapidly...

In no time, the rapidly growing grass enveloped the three of them.

Seeing the grass quickly closing in on them, they completely panicked!

Earlier, they thought dealing with Hu Xiaobei would be easy; now they realized they had been daydreaming, as the gap between them and Hu Xiaobei was more than just a little wide!

...

"Better admit defeat! Or it'll truly get disastrous!"

With this thought emerging, they quickly spoke...

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Earlier, it was all a misunderstanding!"

Seeing the grass rise past their knees, they knew they couldn't hesitate any longer, so they quickly spoke up...

At this moment, they were utterly giving in!

Because they knew if they didn't admit defeat now, they wouldn't even have the chance to do so later!

Hearing their words of submission, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes and slowly said, "Misunderstanding? Earlier, you didn't say it like that!"

"We... we were blind and failed to recognize the mountain in front of us back then!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei deeply looked at them...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei snapped his fingers again!

In that moment, the grass that had surrounded them rapidly receded...

Hu Xiaobei initially intended to wipe them out, but he gave up in the end, as he planned to let them lead the way to find the Chestnut Snake...

"We're saved!"

As the grass disappeared, they were utterly relieved!

...

Hu Xiaobei looked at them and said, "Lead me to find those Chestnut Snakes!"

"This... yes!"

After a brief hesitation, they quickly agreed!

Taking a deep look at them, Hu Xiaobei turned and walked towards Jangonila and Qi Lianlian.

"Brother Xiaobei, you're... you're really okay, thank goodness!"

Hearing such absolute excitement, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "I told you before, they're just some small fries, nothing to worry about!"

Before breaking through, Hu Xiaobei might have had to expend a bit of effort to deal with them...

But now, there's really no need!

Because he had broken through, his strength had made significant progress compared to before.

In the distance, those three looked at each other awkwardly after hearing Hu Xiaobei's words!

They wanted to protest but couldn't find the words, as they indeed had been dealt a heavy blow by Hu Xiaobei just moments ago...

After exchanging glances, two of the subordinates reluctantly spoke!

"Boss, do we... do we really have to hand over the priceless Chestnut Snakes?"

"Yes, boss, those... those are real treasures!"

Hearing their words, he frowned deeply!

He certainly knew they were treasures, but there was nothing he could do...

Because the power gap was too vast now!

As the saying goes, under the eaves, one has no choice but to bow...

"There's no good way out now! We can only accept our loss!"

Hearing this, the two of them sighed in resignation, but in the next second, their eyes suddenly brightened...

At that moment, they thought of something!

Cautiously, after glancing at Hu Xiaobei, they secretly moved a bit forward!

"What are you doing?"

Seeing them approaching, he frowned slightly!

Feeling their leader's annoyance, they quickly whispered, "Boss, it's like this! You might remember when we were looking for the Chestnut Snakes earlier, we took a wrong turn and ended up on a forked road!"
