The two totem-level humanoid Zergs seemed to have anticipated everything that was happening before them.

They didn't even bother to dodge at all, just watched coldly as the Cold Snake was obstructed layer upon layer by the low-tier Zergs' flesh and blood.

Seeing the Zerg corpses continuously fall from the sky, there was no trace of pity in their eyes, but rather a hint of cruel excitement.

The Zergs never lacked low-tier units.

In their resource-depleted homeland, high-tier Zergs would even order lower units to die to convert them into pure energy for their own absorption.

Therefore, to them, this consumption of lives—

Was just a worthwhile investment.

The more Zergs died, the more it proved the strength of the Cold Snake.

And the stronger the prey, the more astonishing the boost after devouring it…

"Why struggle pointlessly?"

The green humanoid Zerg suddenly spread its arms, its voice icy and mocking.

The swarm of Zergs converged towards it as if summoned, forming a pulsating shadowy wall in front.

"Even if each Zerg can only absorb a sliver of your energy—"

It cracked a grin almost grim in nature.

"But in the face of this endless sea of Zergs... how long can you hold out?"

The most fearsome part of the Zergs is their ability to feed on life force and spiritual power.

Once entangled, the victim will eventually be drained of everything, reduced to a withered husk.

However, the Zergs are not without weaknesses.

Their individual life force is extremely fragile, and their strength is far inferior to beings of the same tier.

But they never fight alone.

Overwhelming numbers are enough to cover any defects.

"We Zergs are the most perfect existence in this world!"

The green humanoid Zerg looked at the Cold Snake trapped within layers of the sea of Zergs, a cold smile upon its lips.

Even if this fierce beast's strength far surpassed theirs, it would inevitably be exhausted to death under the onslaught of the swarm.

The Cold Snake's expression was most grim at this time.

Although an ancient fierce beast dominating a region, it was also the first time it faced such a troublesome opponent.

Each of its attacks could shatter swathes of Zergs, but in a flash, the gaps would be filled by new ones.

At this moment, it was entirely surrounded by the dense swarm.

Its vision was filled with pulsating insect bodies, its ears overwhelmed with irritating buzzing.

The Cold Snake's gaze deepened as it suddenly opened a ghostly blue shield to envelop itself—

This barrier was enough to isolate direct contact from the Zergs, preventing energy absorption.

However, at the next moment,

its pupils constricted.

The Zergs began to crawl all over the surface of the shield, greedily absorbing the energy of the shield itself!

Though each Zerg absorbed minimally, the sheer number devouring simultaneously caused the energy to visibly diminish…

The Cold Snake's heart sank.

If this continued, it would indeed…

end up exhausted to death here.

Moreover, those two totem-level Zergs had yet to truly make a move, continuously observing coldly from the outskirts of the battlefield like hunters waiting for their chance.

The Cold Snake had no clue what abilities they hid, making it even more vigilant.

At this moment, it conceived the idea of retreat.

"Crack—!!"

A crisp sound suddenly rang out, the ghostly blue shield it held up finally showing cracks under the continuous devouring of countless Zergs.

This cannot continue.

Leaving the Snow Domain would only slow its growth.

Unlike the Snow Woman, it didn't utterly depend on the extreme cold environment to survive.

Even if it left, it could still rely on absorbing the demonic Qi between heaven and earth to continue cultivating.

Though it would slow down…

But it was better than losing its life here!

Thinking of this, the Cold Snake didn't hesitate anymore.

It would leave this mess for the Snow Woman to handle.

It was no longer accompanying her!

But it was keenly aware that it had long been targeted by those two high-tier Zergs, so escaping wouldn't be easy.

Fortunately…

It had long prepared a backup plan.

The reason it drew in the Snow Wolf and those fierce beasts was for such a moment.

The Cold Snake's gaze abruptly turned cold, its entire aura explosively surging!

In the next instant,

it revealed its true form—

A giant snake spanning hundreds of meters suddenly coiled upon the battlefield, its entire body encrusted with ice-blue jade-like scales, the icy aura sweeping across all four directions.

Manifesting its true form meant it was no longer holding back any strength.

"Roar——!!!"

A snake roar thundered out, shaking heaven and earth, the terrifying sound wave mixed with frigid shock waves spreading in a ring, shattering, freezing, and obliterating tens of thousands of Zergs nearby into dust!

In an instant, a temporary vacuum was carved out of the dense swarm.

Yet the two humanoid Zergs, witnessing the Cold Snake's true form, not only showed no fear, but their eyes glinted with greed and excitement.

"Finally willing to reveal your true form!"

They rejoiced in their hearts.

The Cold Snake in humanoid form, though nimble, was too small, limiting the number of Zergs able to attack it simultaneously, dragging out the attrition battle for too long.

But now, this body, hundreds of meters long, meant more Zergs could pounce on it simultaneously to absorb energy—

The speed of their victory would greatly accelerate.

However, they didn't know that the Cold Snake had long lost the will to fight.

It glanced coldly at the two Zergs, and in the next moment, its massive body twisted abruptly, appearing to flee into the distance—

"You can't escape!"

The two humanoid Zergs chuckled coldly, having long set up a heavy force composed of the most elite part of the Zerg swarm in the direction the Cold Snake might retreat towards.

If it broke through in that direction, it would only exhaust its power faster.

However, at this moment, the Cold Snake suddenly changed its trajectory, not fleeing the battlefield but charging directly towards the Snow Wolf Race!

Its goal wasn't to escape, but—

to force the Snow Guardian into action!

The Snow Guardian, alongside the Snow Woman, reigning as the two major powers of the Snow Domain, was naturally not ordinary.

Its actual power had long surpassed ordinary totem-level beings, only seldom revealed in daily life.

This guardian, formed of ice and snow, possessed an exceedingly unique ability.

It could instantly unleash all the energy within, pushing its power to unimaginably terrifying heights, even momentarily surpassing the Cold Snake itself.

This was also one reason the Cold Snake never truly made a move against the Snow Woman.

But...

The price for this move was death.

And now, the Cold Snake sought to force the Snow Guardian down this path.

And striking at the Snow Wolf Race was the fastest, most effective method—

As long as the tribe faced an existential crisis, the Snow Guardian would never sit idly by.

The next moment, the vast snake body of the Cold Snake had rapidly approached the Snow Wolf Race's position!

With a body as massive as a mountain range, it swung its tail with tremendous might—

The gigantic tail, covered in icy scales, descended with devastating force!

"Boom!!!!!!!!"

With just one strike, the defense of the Snow Wolf Race, painstakingly maintained, shattered audibly.

Ice shards and snow dust shot skyward, the wolf pack scattered with mournful howls, the once tidy formation instantly torn open into a massive breach.
