But no matter how the ice crystals covered Taotie, it seemed as if it felt no cold at all.
Just as if it had gained a resistance to the ice.
[Continue! South of the over-ridge coastal area, Martial Capital's Western Hidden Warriors. The false name stone is cinnabar, the great bird hard to cage from afar. Where did it come from?]
Taotie said proudly, but then it immediately grew angry.
[Damn ancient ape actually ran away! I'm going to eat its nine generations clean!]
Without the ancient ape, naturally, there was no translator; without a translator, the Nvwa Snakes could not understand the poetry of Taotie.
This way, it was impossible to prove that these Nvwa Snakes were foolish beings.
But Taotie was not going to let the Nvwa Snakes go; it immediately found itself another strong reason.
[Not even understanding the respected language of Taotie, it seems you are not some intelligent life form, as the saying goes, 'Keen and eager to learn, not shy to ask those below'! But you don't even ask!]
Taotie's true nature finally revealed itself as it began to viciously attack the Nvwa Snakes.
After eating one Nvwa Snake and devouring quite an amount of ice, Taotie's resistance to the attacks of the Nvwa Snakes seemed to have leveled up, hardly dodging at all. Find adventures at Freewebnovel
[Dragons and snakes battle a hundred times for supremacy, each with ambitions pointing to this ravine!]
It began again, even though the audience couldn't understand at all—the Nvwa Snakes heard nothing but an indescribable monster roar.
[Damn foolish creatures, I've deliberately lowered the difficulty of these verses, they're all related to snakes, and yet not one of you can answer!]
Orange light flickered in Taotie's eyes, emitting the domineering pressure of a demon king's arrival.
And endless resentment and murderous intent.
[You all, must die!]
The roar shook the heavens, the ice crystals shattered collectively. The Nvwa Snakes close to Taotie were almost certainly dead once caught by it.
The elders of the Nvwa Snakes finally realized the horror of this monster.
The more it devoured the snakes, the stronger its resistance to them became.
It was as if there was no such thing as exhaustion for Taotie, for the more it fought, the stronger it got!
The crowd of snakes tried to retreat; facing Taotie, they couldn't be too close to it.

But after all, Taotie was a catastrophe-level boss creature, even if speed was not its strong suit, it was still somewhat faster than the Nvwa Snakes.
The battle turned into a protracted struggle. For Taotie to extinguish the calamity-level beings wasn't too easy either. Because these Nvwa Snakes were not stupid, unlike the first Nvwa Snake that got caught without any vigilance.
But Taotie was still far stronger than the Nvwa Snakes.
With only a little more than fifty Nvwa Snakes left, during the pursuit and escape, more than ten had died already.
Taotie showcased overwhelming strength.
Although the Nvwa Snakes were calamity-level creatures, in such a prolonged battle, they only lasted a few hours.
They grew increasingly exhausted, while Taotie, having fed on the Nvwa Snakes, became stronger and stronger.
It seemed that after a few more rounds, the Nvwa Snakes would be completely slaughtered.
[Laughing as I down a cup of wine, killing amidst the urban throng. Shame to speak of the Yi River's cold, through an order a rainbow's thrust along! Hahaha, you have nowhere to escape, only death awaits!]
Taotie's fighting spirit surged, murderous intent raging!
For the first time, the Nvwa Snakes faced an opponent that grew stronger with every battle, and they were at a loss for what to do.
But just as Taotie was about to launch another attack, it suddenly heard a response.
"The next line of this poem is, 'Yan Dan's work was not established, the Qin Emperor Palace lies in vain. Wuyang dead as ashes, man, how can it be associated with success? From Li Bai's 'Strangers & Youths' Assembly Line'."
"But hearing you recite it with such vigor, you probably think this poem is suited for reciting during murderous deeds, heroic verses? This poem is just Li Bai mocking those who randomly kill and fancy themselves heroes."
"Just like you, a fellow who is both uncultured and loves to show off."
Taotie was stunned on the spot.
It raised its head and looked at two figures riding a huge dragon not far in the sky.
The huge dragon was, of course, Tang Feiji, who under full throttle flew from the northern part of the Amara Continent, crossing the Red Soil Forest, Sea of Trees, Waning Time Valley, Blood Waste, and finally arrived at Tianque Plains in just a few hours.
Arriving before a more tragic disaster unfolded.
The man and woman on the dragon's back were Bai Mansheng and Tang Xian.
Taotie certainly did not expect anyone to recite the origins of these poems.
But it didn't make the same misjudgment with Tang Xian as it had with the previous creatures.
In the midst of its surprise, Taotie revealed a sinister smile and said,
[So it was you who killed Zero, the Ash Dragon, the demon child of Eden!]
