Chapter 504: Chapter 550 Chaos

Chapter 550

Tens of thousands of vibrantly colored poisonous snakes and pythons swiftly slithered on the ground—and because of their overwhelming numbers, many were tangled into clumps, rolling around densely packed like meatballs, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

Even though the Myanmar Army had learned from the lessons of the past two days,

and were equipped with a large number of flamethrowers, spewing jets of flame that scorched many of the poisonous snakes,

there were simply too many of them.

They surged forth like a tidal wave.

...

Even as the flamethrowers killed off a mass of poisonous snakes, even more kept surging forward relentlessly.

And it wasn’t just the snakes—large numbers of allied troops were also mixed in with the tide of snakes. The poisonous snakes ignored the allied forces that were within striking distance and specifically attacked the Myanmar Army.

Even more terrifying was the giant black python.

It was the Serpent Witch Sect’s Divine Serpent, worshipped by the followers of the sect.

On the battlefield, it weaved through with its hundred-meter-long body, crashing around wildly. Even bullets and artillery fire that hit it could not penetrate its skin, only leaving some scorch marks on the snake scales.

In the face of such a terrifying beast, the will of the Myanmar Army was being continuously shattered.

The scales of victory in the war once again tipped towards the allied forces.

Atop a tall building in Mitzina, Yang Xiao was observing the battlefield through binoculars, a smile on his face. Although Song Yi had been taken away by the Young Master of the Serpent Witch Sect two days earlier, which greatly annoyed him,

he now had to admit that not falling out with the Serpent Witch Sect had been the right choice.

Without the help of the Serpent Witch Sect, there was no way he could have withstood the fierce onslaught of the Myanmar Army. Mitzina was of such strategic importance that the Myanmar Army had almost completely mobilized, launching one ferocious assault after another. Just with his few thousand soldiers, they would have long been overrun by the Myanmar Army.

Thankfully, with the assistance of the Serpent Witch Sect, he could securely hold Mitzina.

As for Song Yi, although it was a bit of a pity, she was just a woman after all, and one whose heart had changed at that. How could she be compared with his grand ambitions? He had already cast her to the back of his mind.

Suddenly, strange sounds emanated from the battlefield, and within view, wisps of red fog, thin as gauze, began to spread. Carried by the wind, this red fog spread faster and faster, quickly enshrouding the entire battlefield.

Yang Xiao looked at the battlefield blanketed in red fog that obscured his vision, feeling an unease creeping in. He lowered his binoculars and asked the Snake Spirit Zunzhe who was beside him, “Honored one, what’s going on? Is that red fog your doing?”

The Snake Spirit Zunzhe was also puzzled at the moment.

The appearance of the red fog was especially bizarre; he didn’t recall arranging anything like that.

“I’ll go have a look,” said the Snake Spirit Zunzhe as he stepped out.

At this point on the battlefield, over the area covered by the red fog, all the poisonous snakes suddenly came to a halt. They lifted their heads and rapidly flicked their tongues, and countless snakes across the battlefield looked up, forgetting their attacks, flicking their tongues, and issuing a dense hissing sound.

If one looked closely, it seemed as though the red fog was being inhaled by the snakes as they flicked their tongues.

The snakes that inhaled the red mist bore crimson light in their eyes, and even their bodies emitted wisps of blood-red color. A coalition soldier, who was in the midst of attacking the Myanmar Army amidst the snake invasion, suddenly felt a pain in his neck, followed by a numbing sensation spreading through his body. He quickly reached for his neck and pulled off a venomous snake, screaming in shock. This wasn’t the first time the Serpent Witch Sect had unleashed a snake invasion.

They had emerged unscathed from previous encounters with the snake invasions. At first, they had been somewhat afraid, but later they had simply joined forces with the snake invasion because the snakes indeed did not attack them. However, he had not expected to be bitten by a snake.

The moment he cried out, he looked down to see a mass of snakes swarming toward him, their crimson eyes staring menacingly, clearly with ill intent. He retreated in panic, firing his gun at the venomous snakes all around him. Suddenly, countless snakes charged at him, quickly engulfing him.

The coalition soldiers soon discovered that the snakes around them had lost control and were furiously attacking them. Many of them stood in the midst of the snake invasion, falling to the ground as they were bitten by the swarming snakes, their flesh devoured.

Not only were the coalition soldiers being attacked, but the snakes were also attacking each other, tearing one another apart like a completely irrational, bloodthirsty horde of wild beasts.

The Divine Serpent, too, was engulfed in red mist.

Its colossal body absorbed a great amount of the mist, but the Divine Serpent did not go mad. It seemed to still control its will, but because of its enormous size, countless venomous snakes surged toward it, coiling around and biting it.

The Divine Serpent was furious.

It was the Snake King; all these snakes were under its command, its subordinates, its slaves. They usually wouldn’t dare to move in its presence, but now the snake swarm dared to attack it, their king.

The Divine Serpent twisted its massive body, wielding its tail, striking dead a large number of snakes. Its head continuously struck out, biting and swallowing many of the frenzied snakes. Yet even though it killed countless snakes,

compared to the snake invasion, it was still a very small portion.

These snakes knew no fear, constantly swarming the Divine Serpent, climbing onto its body and desperately tearing at it.

Gradually, red started to appear in the eyes of the Divine Serpent.

The venom injected into its body by the biting snakes, and the large number of snakes it had swallowed, all led to an increasing amount of the red mist eroding inside the Divine Serpent. It completely forgot its original purpose of killing the Myanmar Army.

It attacked wildly in all directions, targeting the Myanmar Army, coalition forces, and the surrounding snakes alike.

The Myanmar Army, which had initially been forced to retreat by the snake invasion and was on the verge of defeat,

were astonished by the inexplicable changes on the battlefield, and then overjoyed. Their commander did not know what had caused the chaos amongst the snake invasion, but clearly, the battle had taken a turn. As the snakes started killing each other, the Myanmar Army regained its position.

He quickly ordered his troops to open fire from a distance, bombarding the snake invasion, especially the Divine Serpent, which had become the primary focus.

A barrage of artillery fire focused on the Divine Serpent, causing it to roar continuously.

Finally, the Snake Spirit Zunzhe arrived. Seeing the chaotic snake invasion and the Divine Serpent riddled with explosive injuries, he was both shocked and enraged. What was going on? The Serpent Witch Sect had been experts at snake control for years, and they had never lost control before.

The Snake Spirit Zunzhe quickly noticed the red mist.

That pervasive red mist was unquestionably problematic, the chief culprit behind the loss of control of the snake invasion. Clearly, someone capable of breaking his Snake Subjugation Technique had arrived, a true master.

The Snake Spirit Zunzhe persistently cast the Snake Subjugation Technique, trying to restore order to the snake swarm, but the chaos did not cease. Ordinary snakes going wild was one thing, but now, the Divine Serpent was gradually losing control—a severe blow to his greatest reliance.

Therefore, the Snake Spirit Zunzhe urgently gave up trying to control the snake invasion and began to communicate with the Divine Serpent through witchcraft.
