Chapter 317: Chapter 313: Defeated the Junior, the Senior Arrives

Hearing Bai Qi’s command, Alpha was the first to charge out, closely followed by Delta, who had transformed into a Diamond Ape.

As for Gamma, it firmly guarded Bai Qi’s side, wary of potential enemies that might appear.

“Schuck, what’s the current situation?”

A flash of red in Schuck’s eyes conjured a brand new holographic map before Bai Qi, thereby revealing the origin of the towering walls.

A colossal maze.

“Trapping the intruders in a maze and then letting the black and white snakes finish them off?”

Looking at the black and white snakes currently engaged in battle with Alpha and Delta, and then glancing at the sky-reaching tower that had distanced itself quite a bit, Bai Qi understood the situation.

“Schuck, Beta, you guys go help, leaving Gamma and Epsilon by my side is enough.”

Awooo!

(Watch me slaughter these two long worms!)

Beta was clearly excited and eager. He charged out impatiently, giving the battle-worn wormgrass a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

The two giant snakes looked fierce. His previous tactics would likely be ineffective against them. If he was ordered to go, it would amount to surrendering.

Facing the offensive of Alpha’s Three Pets, the eyes of the black and white snakes became more fierce. They opened their hideous mouths and spewed out a thick flame towards the three pets.

The approaching flame was impressively strong, enveloping all three pets like a volcanic eruption. But after a shriek, a Wind God Winged Dragon broke the column of fire and flew out. With a flap of its wings, two tornadoes appeared in front of the black and white snakes. The powerful suction pulled the twin snakes’ flame column towards them.

It’s said that wind drives fire, but Delta’s two tornadoes had no intention of helping the fire. The flame was engulfed by the two tornadoes and gradually extinguished.

The Void Echo+ Tornado Manipulation, although it didn’t reach the level of a space storm, the space vortex it curled up was enough to put out the black and white snakes’ flame column.

Seeing their attack dissolved effortlessly, the black and white snakes became even more furious. They raised their heads high, attempting to pull Delta down.

But the Wind God Winged Dragon was a creature that soared in the sky. How could it be easily pulled down by two giant snakes? With a flap of its wings, it quickly increased its distance.

At the same time, while the twin snakes’ attention was drawn by Delta, Alpha also launched an attack on the twin snakes. The merciless Sword Of Death, embedded with the Power of Death, slashed across the bodies of the twin snakes. Their hard scales became fragile in front of the Sword of Death and crumbled upon contact.

But the bodies of the black and white snakes were too large and their reaction was swift too. The moment the wound was infected with the Power of Death, the other snake forcefully bit off the infected flesh.

The intense pain from the wound fully ignited the ferocity of the twin snakes, who raised their heads to let out an angry roar. The bitten-off flesh surprisingly grew back. The snakes then bit towards Alpha.

Seeing this, Alpha gripped the Undying Flame Sword in his hand. He swung both swords and directly opened a large wound in the snake’s mouth. The Undying Flame firmly clung to the snakes’ bodies, preventing the flesh from healing.

At the same time, Schuck also set up the Electromagnetic Cannon, always interrupting the actions of the black and white snakes at critical moments, making them perfect targets.

“As gatekeepers, these two snakes seem a bit weak…”

Watching the black and white snakes be at the mercy of the three pets, Bai Qi frowned slightly. “Be careful, it shouldn’t be this easy.”

As his words fell, the black and white snakes that were being bullied by the three pets suddenly abandoned their attacks and put some distance between themselves. They then let out a chilling roar.

Immediately, the sky was shrouded in darkness. This was not due to a solar eclipse, but due to the emergence of two gigantic snakes from the maze.

“This is a case of the small one sickening its parents?”

Bai Qi looked at the two gigantic snake hydras, which were an exact replica of the black and white snakes but much larger in size, and smiled bitterly.

He wondered why the guardians of the Tower of Heaven were so weak. It turned out that the creatures that appeared were only two small snakes.

“When the wind is tight, let it go!”

At this thought, Bai Qi promptly decided to withdraw without hesitation.

Although a bit unwilling, the feeling given off by the two large snakes was not different from that of the legendary creatures like Nicholas. He didn’t stand a chance against these snakes. He would be foolish to stay.

He could only hope that the two snakes were not interested in the small amount of meat on his body and would not chase after him.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as he wished. The injury of the juvenile snakes greatly annoyed the two hydra snakes, and they chased after him and his five pets without hesitation. In a moment, they caught up with Bai Qi and his five pets thanks to the head start.

“Damn it, do we have to fight it out!”

Seeing this, Bai Qi clenched his teeth, decisively turned his direction, and ordered Alpha, Schuck, Beta, and Gamma to face the enemy. Delta, on the other hand, resonated with the void at full force, hoping to escape the scene.

“Huh? Where’s Epsilon?”

Bai Qi looked around and suddenly realized that the wormgrass was missing from the group, startling him.

Leaving aside whether the wormgrass could escape the attack of the two snakes, if the wormgrass were to be lost, his future would essentially be lost as well.

Roar!

Just then, a roar came from behind the hydra snakes. The familiar roar made the hydra snakes stop in their tracks and turn their heads towards the back.

The source of the roar was the black and white snakes from earlier. For an unknown reason, the twin snakes were huddled together, cuddling pathetically against the tail of the hydra snakes.

Perhaps sensing the mood of the black and white snakes, the hydra snakes surprisingly gave up on the chase and retreated underground again.

“Is this a change of heart?”

Bai Qi, upon seeing this, was somewhat puzzled, then watched as the black and white snakes slithered in front of them, obediently lowering themselves to reveal the cordyceps firmly attached to the black snake’s body.

“Epsilon? Was that your doing just now? Did you parasitize them?”

Bai Qi was increasingly perplexed, but upon seeing the vine deeply wedged in the twin snakes’ brains, he had a sudden realization.

“I didn’t parasitize them. I simply used the dreamland to temporarily influence their actions.”

Bearing the gaze of Bai Qi and the beasts, the cordyceps seemed somewhat embarrassed but nonetheless happily explained.

“Controlling actions through the dreamland? Hypnosis?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Qi’s eyes. Even the enormous serpent couldn’t sense anything off, when did this cordyceps become so powerful?

“Maybe it’s because the cordyceps is too weak and was ignored. Besides, the dream vine itself is easily overlooked.”

Shuck surveyed the cordyceps and offered a guess, which Bai Qi strongly agreed with.

The level three Lord cordyceps were less than one-tenth the size of the gigantic serpent scales, it was normal for them to be overlooked.

For the first time, Bai Qi was relieved that he hadn’t rushed to increase his pets’ levels. Perhaps at level four, the cordyceps would not be able to accomplish this.

Just as Bai Qi was secretly rejoicing, the black and white snakes suddenly struggled a bit before being put back under hypnosis by the cordyceps.

“Leader, how should we deal with these two snakes? I can’t hypnotize them for long. Should I forcibly parasitize them?”

Having felt the resistance from the twin snakes, the cordyceps promptly asked Bai Qi for advice.

Bai Qi, after some consideration and thinking about the gigantic snake that might not have gone far, eventually gave up this tempting idea.

“Let them sleep through it. We better run while the gigantic snake hasn’t reacted.”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s command, the cordyceps immediately intensified the infusion of hypnotic pollen, causing the slightly twitching twin snakes to collapse to the ground, and fall into a deep sleep. Bai Qi and his five pets then headed towards the Sky-reaching Tower again.

This time, Bai Qi arrived at the base of the Sky-reaching Tower smoothly, but after circling it several times, he couldn’t find an entrance.

“Inheritance Secret Realms are such a hassle…”

Seeing that he has to solve another riddle, Bai Qi felt somewhat helpless. However, his eyes lit up upon seeing Beta curiously sniffing around.

“Beta, activate your vertical pupil to its full potential, see if it can have an effect.”

Awo?

Beta tilted it’s head but obediently activated its vertical pupil.

With the flash of golden light, Beta’s forehead illuminated the Sky-reaching Tower in front of them. Indeed, a rune that resembled a huge eye appeared on the tower, causing it to shake violently.

So this is how it is!

Bai Qi’s eyes brightened, and seeing the eye-shaped rune slowly opening like a portal, he swung his fist with force.

Roar!

At that moment, the gigantic snake that had left not long ago suddenly returned. Upon spotting Bai Qi and his daring little insects who had dared to disturb its sleep. It roared and swam toward them.

“My word, it returned so quickly!”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi hurriedly rushed into the Tower of Heaven, while his five pets followed him without hesitation. By the time the gigantic snake reached the Tower of Heaven, the rune portal had already closed again.

Roar!!!

The gigantic snake lost its prey and roared toward the sky, but it quickly noticed the dreaming black and white snakes, it glanced unwillingly at the Tower of Heaven before swimming towards the twin snakes.

…

Inside the Tower of Heaven.

After successfully evading the pursuit of the gigantic snake, Bai Qi let out several breaths, but was still unable to calm the fear in his heart.

Being chased by two legendary creatures, Bai Qi was sure this was the most thrilling event he had ever experienced — or would experience — in his beast controlling journey.

“Next time when a Mythical Secret Realm appears, I really need to evaluate my own strength appropriately.”

Gasping for breath, Bai Qi patted the beta next to him, grateful that the beta’s vertical pupil had such a connection with the Tower of Heaven. Without it, they would have really been in trouble.

“But without this eye, we wouldn’t have been able to enter here, right?”

Shuck quietly added a sentence, which immediately plunged Bai Qi into deep thought.

It seems… that makes a lot of sense?

Also, it seems that Beta had mentioned feeling danger earlier.

“Forget it, we’re already here. Let’s just continue moving forward.”

Looking at the seemingly endless staircase above him, Bai Qi let out a sigh of resignation and began making his way toward the top of the tower.

He hoped that this time he could peacefully find the inheritance of the Sun Secret Realm.
