Chapter 80: The Battle Between the Snake and the Eagle
This was the meaning of a natural enemy.
"Xiao Chou, can you handle this big bird?" Xu Hei asked.
"Senior, this is a Foundation Establishment great demon, how could I possibly be its match?" Xiao Chou shook his head decisively.
"Hua Yuntian is also at the Foundation Establishment stage, why were you able to beat him like that?" Xu Hei asked again.
"......"
Xiao Chou was momentarily speechless.
He certainly wouldn\'t admit that he had exploded with such power for the sake of Silver Bell, so he just smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. "Senior, if we join forces, we might have a chance."
Xu Hei pondered for a moment and nodded, "Joining forces is fine. How about we hang you on a tree as bait?""......" Xiao Chou immediately fell silent.
......
Above the clouds, the golden-winged eagle looked down, frowning.
That strike just now, he was confident it would shatter the target completely, but it seemed to have failed. This was unprecedented in his experience!
"Could it be as the old ape said, that this snake consumed an immortal pill, making it impervious to blades and swords?" The golden eagle was on high alert.
As a Foundation Establishment great demon, facing lesser demons below the Foundation Establishment stage, he could easily deal with them even if they burrowed into the ground. But now, he didn\'t do that.
Among beasts, only one in a hundred survives, and among those that transform into demons, only one in ten thousand. Let alone reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he knew how to be cautious.
"Hiding and not coming out, huh."
The golden-winged eagle\'s gaze turned cold, and he flew into the clouds, disappearing.
After a stick of incense.
Xiao Chou poked his head out from the ground, looked at the sky, and said, "Senior, that great demon seems to be gone."
Xu Hei\'s scouting snake on the mountaintop also saw the opponent disappear, but he remained unmoved.
Snakes can stay still for three days and nights to catch a frog; this short time was nothing.
At worst, they could just wait it out.
When it came to patience, Xu Hei had never backed down.
Instead of crawling out, Xu Hei burrowed deeper underground.
As for Xu Bai, she was safe inside the cave dwelling protected by Hei Huang\'s formation. Of course, he could also hide there to avoid danger, but that would expose the formation\'s existence, which was unnecessary.
Xu Hei dug out a small space underground, lay inside, and took a pill to consolidate his cultivation.
However, to be safe, he secretly released puppets to hide around as guards.
An hour passed.
Xiao Chou looked around, seeing no movement, he emerged from the ground.
"Senior, that great demon really left, there\'s no movement."
Xiao Chou shouted, seeing Xu Hei still not coming out, he sighed and sat down to meditate.
Time slowly passed.
Clouds gathered in the distance, and before long, the clouds overhead grew thicker and darker.
If one were close enough, they could hear the sound of thunder and lightning coming from the clouds.
Xiao Chou glanced at the sky, suddenly feeling uneasy, and retreated to the side.
Xu Hei was also startled, quickly changing his location, but the clouds above followed him wherever he went.
"What kind of demonic technique is this?"
Xu Hei\'s heart tightened, and almost instinctively, he activated his thick earth armor and took out various talismans.
At that moment!
A thunderous explosion echoed across the land, and a lightning bolt as thick as a barrel struck down from the dark clouds, piercing the sky and hitting the ground.
"Boom!!!"
The entire valley shook from the strike, and the lightning bolt hit directly above Xu Hei.
"Crack!!"
The ground was instantly split open, with cracks spreading madly a hundred meters deep, like a thunder dragon crashing down on Xu Hei.
"What?"
Xu Hei\'s face changed, but fortunately, he was prepared. At the moment the lightning appeared, he activated three layers of Earth Shield above his head, thickened his earth armor, and continuously used several golden shield talismans while fully activating his Earth Escape Technique to retreat.
"Boom!!!"
The lightning struck, piercing through all the Earth Shields in an instant, creating a hole in the thick earth armor, and shattering the golden shield talismans.
In the end, Xu Hei used Ye Haichuan\'s flying sword to block the lightning, which finally dissipated.
Despite blocking it, Xu Hei was left charred and smoking, with a huge crack in the ground above him, connecting to the sky.
This strike directly injured Xu Hei.
"Whoosh!"
A golden figure swooped down from the clouds, as fast as lightning, heading straight for the crack.
Eagle demons were known for their speed among demonic beasts, and the golden-winged thunder eagle was one of the best!
From a thousand meters high, it arrived in the blink of an eye!
Xu Hei remained calm. As the golden-winged thunder eagle appeared, he activated the Gravity Technique, sending countless black dots into the surrounding soil.
At the same time, he slapped his storage bag, releasing a large number of granite puppets that lined up in front of him.
"Boom boom boom..."
The eagle\'s claws shattered dozens of stone puppets in a row, reaching for the retreating Xu Hei.
Suddenly, countless tiny black dots shot out from the soil behind, raining down on the eagle!
These were scales!
The moment the eagle appeared, Xu Hei had torn off a large number of scales and used the Gravity Technique to hide them in the soil.
When the opponent got close, he pulled them out, forming an encirclement to strike the enemy.
It was like a big net, waiting for the opponent to fall into it!
"What the hell?"
The eagle squinted its eyes, sensing something was wrong.
In the sky, with his speed, he could easily dodge these scales, but in the narrow underground crack, his space to maneuver was very limited.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The eagle moved like a phantom, dodging most of the attacks, and used his steel-like feathers to block the rest.
But then, a shocking scene occurred.
His feathers were pierced by the scales, bringing out blood, and even his bones were cut with cracks.
"Fall!"
Xu Hei flicked his tail, sending the flying sword towards the eagle, enhanced by the Gravity Technique, it shot like a rainbow!
The eagle tried to dodge but was still a beat too slow, one of his wings was slashed by the flying sword.
"Splat!"
Blood spurted out, and the eagle\'s wing was cut, with a large patch of feathers falling to the ground.
Once again, Xu Hei\'s scales proved their worth.
If it were a human cultivator, they might have heard of the scales\' power and taken precautions, but the eagle had never seen them before and suffered a great loss.
Xu Hei took a pill and quickly retreated to a safe distance.
"Damn it, this snake is too cunning!"
The eagle gritted his teeth.
As an eagle demon, he had captured no less than ten late-stage snake demons, always succeeding, never encountering such a strong opponent!
This snake was not only powerful but also cunning, luring the enemy in and even using human methods!
Who fights like this?
All demonic beasts fight to the death, using demonic techniques at most. Xu Hei used talismans, spells, puppets, and flying swords, more shameless than humans, it was cheating!
"Shameless!"
The eagle cursed, turning to flee, losing the will to fight.
"Think you can leave after coming?"
Xu Hei\'s eyes flashed, and suddenly, countless rocks flew from the crack above, rolling into the crevice, crashing down on the eagle.
This was a puppet formation Xu Hei had set up outside.
These granites weren\'t very lethal, at most they could kill some mortals and low-level cultivators.
Falling on the eagle, it was like scratching an itch.
But there were too many of them.
Snowflakes can\'t kill humans, but they can bury them, and these granites were like magnified snowflakes.
"Damn it!"
The eagle roared in anger, spreading his wings to break the rocks.
Xu Hei couldn\'t defeat his natural enemy if the opponent stayed in the sky, occasionally launching sneak attacks, he had no way to counter.
But the opponent insisted on coming underground, entering his own disadvantageous territory, it was courting death.
The problem was the opponent was too confident.
Rocks kept falling, the eagle shattered one after another, but they were endless.
"Snake demon, don\'t push me! Do you really think I\'m afraid of you?" The eagle roared.
Xu Hei remained silent, activating the Earth Spike, countless sharp spikes emerged from the soil, stabbing towards the eagle, while staying vigilant, ready to retreat at any moment.
Xu Hei didn\'t believe he had won just because he had the upper hand, this bird might have more tricks up its sleeve.
Even corpses could revive, let alone an opponent that wasn\'t dead yet.
