There was a sudden silence in the mangrove forest, the silence of a fight to the death.

Meng Xiaodie had already told Shen Hong to hide in another tree, so he had to be at ease. Facing such powerful enemies, he could only give it his all, because of the Snake King's speed and its extraordinary intelligence, Meng Xiaodie became more cautious. While circling around the snake, he was also looking for an opportunity to kill with a sword.

When it opened its eyes, the head of the snake had already arrived in front of Meng Xiaodie. The snake opened its mouth, and suddenly let out a strange breath, which was a light red color and extremely smelly, causing Meng Xiaodie to feel dizzy. He thought that it was just a stinky stench, so he wanted to jump up and kill the snake king, but instead, he raised his feet and, without looking back at Meng Xiaodie, he fell down onto the ground. The Snake King leaned its head forward and stopped Meng Xiaodie.

Shen Hong, who was standing on a nearby tree trunk, saw that Meng Xiaodie had been bitten by the Snake King. Shen Hong, who was standing on a nearby tree trunk, saw that Meng Xiaodie had been bitten by the Snake King.

Shen Hong took the opportunity to jump over and threw out five Hundred Blossom Silver Needles. These five needles stabbed into the Serpent King's other eye, extinguishing both of its black sink-like eyes.

Although the lizard Redwood Snake's eyes were blinded, it relied on its sensitive antennae, its flapping tongue had already confirmed its position and launched its most violent attack.

It was so fast that Shen Hong had no time to dodge and was sent flying by the Snake King. The Snake King still had Meng Xiaodie in its mouth, so it rolled its tongue and rolled Meng Xiaodie up into its mouth, and then it held Shen Hong in the air. Shen Hong thought, this is funny, Meng Xiaodie had already been swallowed by the Snake King.

Shen Hong closed his eyes, all his hopes gone, but right at that moment, the Snake King's head tilted to the side and it fell head first into the water. Shen Hong did not know what had happened, but she hurriedly struggled out. She pulled out the crescent scimitar from the snake's eye and used the crescent moon blade to open its mouth to pull Meng Xiaodie out.

When Shen Hong saw the mouth of the snake, she threw out five silver needles that were nailed to the snake's jaw. The surroundings were already black, and she knew that the poison from the silver needles was working.

There were still a few hundred lizard Redwood Snakes left, and when they saw the Snake King fall to the ground, they scattered in fright. Shen Hong placed Meng Xiaodie on a branch and checked her pulse. Her pulse was weak, and when she checked her eyelids, there were signs of poisoning. It seemed that the breath of the Snake King was extremely poisonous, even someone like Meng Xiaodie, who was immune to poisons, had fainted.

Shen Hong took out the antidote and stuffed it into Meng Xiaodie's mouth. A moment later, Meng Xiaodie woke up. He looked at the Serpent King lying not far away, then looked at Shen Hong and asked, "Is your Hundred Blossom Silver Needles working?"

Shen Hong nodded and said, "Although that Snake King is huge, the poison from five silver needles can destroy its central nervous system." Shen Hong then looked at Meng Xiaodie and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I didn't expect this giant snake to be so cunning, this time you saved me." Meng Xiaodie smiled.

He stood up, and although his feet were still light, his strength was almost restored. He glanced around him, and his eyes were in a mess, and the king who looked like a red dam lying on the surface of the water seemed to move a little, and he quickly jumped over and stabbed his sword into the king's head.

He was standing on top of the Snake King, staring at the red skin and felt that it was a little strange. Normally, this giant snake was just an illusion and after it was destroyed, it should have turned into a cloud of smoke, but for some reason, this snake seemed to be a real snake. Its corpse was floating there, and there was brain matter in its brain, so was this a kind of mutated illusion? Meng Xiaodie looked around. There was a type of Yin energy hidden in the surroundings. This kind of Yin energy was not normal. Perhaps the giant snake relied on this Yin energy, and the snake's body was perfectly preserved, so it wouldn't turn into smoke.

In other words, all of the lizards and Redwood Snakes were only temporarily dead for a short period of time. Under the call of the Baleful Yin Force, they would be resurrected and come back to life.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiaodie loudly said to Shen Hong, "Let's leave this place as soon as possible. This place has too much Yin energy. If the giant snake revives, its magic will be even stronger. At that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it."

When Shen Hong heard this, she also looked around. She hurriedly jumped onto a tree branch and followed behind Meng Xiaodie, speeding forward. As they walked forward, the two discovered that the number of withered trees was becoming fewer and fewer. They had to rely on the red fir trees that were currently growing to jump back and forth. The redwoods were thick and difficult to climb. A few times, Shen Hong almost slipped into the water, unable to hold on to the trunk.

They jumped from tree to tree in such a manner that they actually jumped out of the mangrove forest. Originally, they thought that if they walked out of the mangrove forest, the road ahead would be easier to walk on, but after walking for a short distance, the two of them were stupefied. The number of trees in front of them suddenly decreased, and what appeared in front of them was an endless swamp, with more than a dozen rotten tree stumps standing crooked in the middle.

"This is troublesome. Without the woods, how are we to get there?" Shen Hong looked at the swamp in front of him and said with a frown.

When they first entered the forest, they were annoyed by the tall trees and the tall grass. Now that they didn't have any more trees, Shen Hong was reminded of the benefits of having a forest. That way, they could at least climb up the tree trunk.

Meng Xiaodie was at a loss facing this seemingly endless swamp. He didn't expect such a situation to suddenly occur. Right now, there was nowhere to retreat to. The road ahead was also an endless swamp. What was going on under this swamp? He couldn't figure it out, and there wasn't a single path he could follow. If he randomly walked in like this, it would be troublesome if he were to fall into the quagmire.

There was no other way. Meng Xiaodie knew clearly that this trap was just to force them into a corner. They had to walk through this quagmire before they could hope to break through the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation. Meng Xiaodie broke two sticks and gave one to Shen Hong, saying, "This is just a swamp. If we use the sticks to scout the way, we will definitely be able to walk through."

Shen Hong took the stick and smiled at Meng Xiaodie, "I believe in you. We will definitely be able to walk through."
