Chapter 399: Chapter 387: Collapse and Poisonous Smoke, Catastrophic Disaster Descends in an Instant! A Senior Snake Demon Appears, Behead Grotto Heaven!
"Boom!"
Once the collapse began, it could no longer be stopped. Starting from the center of the Inner City, the entire ground turned into quicksand, thunderously collapsing downward.
The intense vibrations caused by the collapse made even Chu Feng unstable, forcing him to leap onto the city walls while simultaneously dodging falling rocks.
Then he saw terrifying cracks appearing on the surface of the Inner City’s ground, spreading outward from the center of the collapse.
These cracks quickly spread to the city walls and then ripped them apart!
Many Snake Demons on the city walls lost their balance and fell into the opened crevices, immediately getting buried alive by the giant rocks and earth thundering down from above!
"Hiss—hiss—"
The surviving Snake Demons let out harsh, shrill hisses, jumping down from the city walls one after another, fleeing frantically towards the outskirts of the camp.
At the same time, from the caves in the ground of the Inner City, a large number of Spirit-Eye Serpent Demons also began to emerge, desperately fleeing outward!
They were trying to escape from their collapsing homeland!
Chu Feng put himself in their place and shuddered at the thought.
Tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of tons of rocks and sand suddenly falling from the sky, covering everything, now that was truly a calamity!
There was no way to heaven above, and the earth below... but they were already underground, so where could they run to?
’Why can’t I bear to watch such a tragic scene? Because I’m kind... I hope the snakes are in trouble.’
Chu Feng smirked, looking towards the now-panicked Low-Level Demon Beasts on the outskirts of the camp, and softly murmured, "The timing should be just about right..."
No sooner had the words left his mouth.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of blasts erupted on the outskirts of the Demon Clan’s camp!
The blasts, mixed with the continuous rumbling of the earthquake, were hardly noticeable, only drawing the attention of the Demon Clans near the explosions.
What they couldn’t see, however, was the colorless smoke that accompanied the blasts, spreading rapidly through the air, covering vast areas.
Before long, many of the frantically fleeing Demon Beasts suddenly collapsed, thrashing helplessly on the ground, letting out blood-curdling screams.
Immediately after, copious amounts of brightly colored blood gushed from their orifices; excrement flowed everywhere as they convulsed in death.
And like a contagion, this horrific sight spread rapidly from the site of the explosion.
The Snake Demons who had jumped from the city walls, not yet having time to rejoice in their successful escape, plunged headfirst into the areas affected by the toxic smoke!
Before long, their Life Force rapidly drained away, they died in agony, just like the other Demon Clans in the poison smoke.
Some small, clever Demon Beasts did not get poisoned immediately.
Upon witnessing the plight of the larger Demon Beasts and near insanity from fright, they instinctively burrowed into nearby water ditches, attempting to escape by swimming underwater.
Unfortunately for them, Chu Feng had also poisoned the water sources.
No sooner had they fallen into the water did they begin to struggle, their heads bobbing above the ditches, crying out in anguish and choking.
Soon, their bodies stiffened, they slowly floated up, drifting on the water’s surface, passing peacefully.
"..."
Watching these heartbreaking scenes for the Demon Clan, Chu Feng’s face remained stern.
Having seen such sights of his own making so many times, they were no longer surprising.
Ignoring the chaos at the outskirts of the camp, he flew straight up, ascending above the Inner City.
Then from his Grotto Heaven, he took out several high-pressure metal canisters filled with poison.
After pressing the switch, he flew forward, forcefully hurling the canisters towards the gathering places of Snake Demons below! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Bang bang bang!"
The metal canisters fell from the sky, and the moment they hit the ground, the lids were blasted open.
The next second, the high-pressure liquefied toxins in the canisters vaporized upon contact with the air, then quickly spread like the toxic smoke in the outer city.
On the ground, hordes of Snake Demons were scrambling to escape towards the city walls, meanwhile dodging the rolling stones around them.
They had no time or energy to notice the unusual clinking sounds of metal.
But soon after, they suddenly discovered their bodies growing weak, as if their strength had been drained away.
They couldn’t crawl on any longer!
Their organs throbbed with severe pain, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and their writhing bodies slowly ceased to move.
The next second, they were engulfed by the collapsing mud, buried in the very tunnels they had dug.
...
After using Wind Concealment, Chu Feng realized that once his flying speed became too fast, the effectiveness of Wind Concealment was affected by the headwind.
Not only did it consume more True Force, but sometimes it also exposed some outlines of his figure.
He couldn’t hide his tracks as naturally as he could on the ground or when drifting with the wind.
However, in the chaos below, no one paid attention to the faintly discernible edges of his clothes in the sky, so Chu Feng actually enjoyed a rare pleasure of flying uninhibited.
As he circled the Inner City, he spread the toxic smoke throughout every corner.
The toxic smoke lingered within a range of about twenty meters above the ground, perfectly enveloping all the fleeing Low-Level Spirit-Eye Serpent Demons, preventing them from escaping.
Nor was it swept away into the soil by the sandy wind, which would have neutralized the poison and affected the lethality.
So after a full half-hour, not a single Spirit-Eye Serpent Demon managed to escape the area shrouded in the collapsing toxic smoke.
But at this moment, Chu Feng’s inner vigilance began to rise.
Because the speed of the ground collapse had begun to slow down visibly, and the surface activity had visibly calmed.
There was no doubt that the vast underground caverns were almost filled up with dirt.
’Those from the Cave Heaven Realm and Yin Yang Realm of the Spirit-Eye Serpent Demons are probably about to come out...’ thought Chu Feng, with his eyes narrowed, calculating everything clearly.
The collapse might have killed, buried, and suffocated those under the Zhou Tian Realm, but it would hardly affect the Snake Demons of the Cave Heaven Realm and above.
Snake Demons from the Cave Heaven Realm had their own internal spaces; even if buried deeply in the soil, they could use their Grotto Heaven to hold some of the dirt and create a living space, and then slowly dig their way up.
They could even help out the Snake Demons of the Zhou Tian Realm and the Everlasting Realm.
As long as they had a chance to breathe, Snake Demons from the Zhou Tian Realm and the Everlasting Realm would rely on their robust bodies to create hollows and burrow their way up from underground to the surface.
Not to mention the Snake Demons of the Yin Yang Realm and the Hunyuan Realm— the former had even more internal space, enabling them to carry some living beings.
The latter could even bring surrounding Snake Demons into their inner Domain. Although they couldn’t survive there for long, it was more than enough as a refuge from disasters!
Therefore, Chu Feng and the Staff Department jointly determined that when the collapse process began to slow down, it was the time for the Senior Spirit-Eye Serpent Demons to make their escape!
Indeed!
The ground, covered in soil and rocks, suddenly rose slowly, and immediately after, a huge serpent head burst forth from the earth, exposed to the air!
A Cave Heaven Realm Spirit-Eye Serpent Demon!
After its head emerged from the ground, it immediately opened its ferocious, fanged mouth, gasping for air, its body trembling non-stop.
It seemed to have had a difficult time underground and had been extremely frightened as well.
Then the ground around it started to bulge slowly, revealing four smaller serpent heads just like it, opening their mouths and gasping for air.
Four Zhou Tian Realm Snake Demons!
The Cave Heaven Realm Spirit-Eye Serpent Demon, panting heavily, suddenly sensed something was wrong and felt its body turning weak and soft.
It mustered its demonic power and realized—there was a fierce toxin inside its body!
The toxin had entered its lungs with its breath, spread into its blood, and from there, it had started to infest every organ in its body.
And then it began its massive destruction.
Destroying everything it touched!
The Cave Heaven Realm Serpent Demon, startled, suddenly raised its head, and let out a long hiss, "Hiss—stop breathing! There’s—"
But before it could finish its snake language, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared.
Following that, its enormous head split in two amid its cut-off cry!
The upper half of the serpent head slid to the ground, revealing a smooth and clean cut.
Next, grey blood gushed from the wound, scattering high into the air, covering the eyes of the adjacent four Zhou Tian Realm Snake Demons.
Blinded by the blood, they vaguely saw a human slowly sheathing his blade.
—That human with a cold expression who beheaded the Cave Heaven Realm Serpent Demon in one strike was Chu Feng!
