Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 1097: Conning the Snake.

The large furry snake observed the group with its piercing blue eyes. Most of its body was hidden under the thick snow layer, making it invisible. In this environment where Spiritual Sense was basically blocked off, all creatures used their surroundings to hide and hunt. 

The group of prey that it spotted was interesting. They were small creatures, yet some of them seemed like they would provide lots of benefits if it could eat them. Among them, one of them was so delicious that just the scent was accelerating the snake's heartbeat. 

Still, the beast was patient. It inched closer bit by bit, getting into attacking range. A distance that it knew it couldn't fail even if the enemy reacted. While their scents were tempting, their strengths were severely lacking in the snake's eyes. 

It was worth mentioning that the prey it was interested in was creating some lights, but unaware of what those were, the snake didn't take them into account. Moreover, those lights did not trigger its danger senses at all.

When the beast was around two hundred meters from them, it stopped and gathered strength in its body. The powerful muscles that could easily crush mountains tensed, preparing to pounce forward. 

Seeing that the group of prey was not aware of its presence, a sense of delight crossed the snake's mind. Other than that annoying owl and a few other beasts, the snake considered itself an apex predator. Sadly, even if it had reached the Sixth realm, its intelligence couldn't really reach a sapient level. While many beasts could reach such intelligence, it was not guaranteed. 

It waited and waited, executing its chance to appear soon. And, soon, that chance came. The snake couldn't believe how lucky it was when a strange sound appeared in the exact opposite direction of its cover, making the group look away from its position. 

With them giving their backs to it, the snake wasted no chance and pounced. All of its muscles tensed, and the body shot out of the snow with such speed that there was a stream of snow following the snake from pure friction.

The snake locked onto a few of them and opened its mouth wide. Even if they were healthy, once inside its body, the snake believed the internal muscles and powerful digestive acid would make them helpless. 

However, an unexpected thing occurred.

BANG!

A flash of pain struck the snake's brain when its powerful mouth, full of serrated teeth, hit an invisible wall. The snake was confused. How come there is a wall here, just before its prey?

Of course, it was not slow to react, and the snake responded right away, retreating. However, several energies rushed into its body as it began closing its mouth.

The second the snake had struck the defensive wall, Yasenia's group instantly attacked and threw a terrifying barrage into the hollow of the snake's body.

A Sixth Realm beast was strong both on the outside and the inside. Still, the insides of a creature, regardless of rank, were naturally more vulnerable than their outside. 

When the several dozen ranged attacks collided and exploded inside of the serpent, the already injured creature felt its insides expand and burn terribly. 

HISS!

The snake thrashed around the place for a few moments before it recovered its bearings from the burning pain. The blue eyes glared at our group, and the serpent opened its bleeding maw once more. 

The girls had seen that snake do this attack before. Hence, they knew what was coming.

Angel's energy and several others' flowed into the formation, the transparent surface transforming as countless lines and marks appeared. 

At this time, the snake attacked, shooting a massive frost beam at them. Between the ridiculously strong attack and them, the formation created twelve circular shields. 

They had seen the serpent do this attack before, so they had countermeasures against it. Evelyn smirked. "To think that you hit the nail with this one, Angel. It indeed seems to like opening up with this attack!"

The beam arrived before Angel could answer. 

BOOM!

The shields in between didn't explode. However, they did slow down the attack. When the frost beam arrived in front of them, they would absorb part of the beam and let the rest pass through. 

The twelve shields lit up as the beam of frost passed through, emitting gorgeous lights that illuminated the slowly darkening environment. 

Eventually, the creature's attack reached the dome and hit it like a hammer on a glass surface.

BANG!

CRACK!

A web of cracks spread across the surface of the dome. Andrea blinked and asked, her voice somewhat nervous. "Will it really hold?"

Angel answered thoughtfully with her cute voice as she controlled the formation. "It will. Two more until it breaks." 

The snake looked at the glowing circular shields and formation with a curious gaze through its anger. What were those lights that could block its attack? It was curious about it and wanted to know. However, killing these people was a priority for it now. 

In the first place, they would be a nutritious snack. On the other side… Revenge. How dare these small creatures heavily injure it internally? If it didn't have the sturdy vitality of a Sixth Realm creature and skin, the snake was sure that the attack it received would have been able to kill it.

Without much delay after the breath attack, the snake decided to open its mouth again. 

Kali's lips twitched. "It can do that ridiculous attack twice in a row?"

Yasenia was also surprised. "I can now as well. However, it really hurts my throat. I wonder if this guy is the same. His bodily injuries have only worsened after our first attack."

During the snake's beam attack, it had to gather a lot of strength. Hence, the snake would use the entirety of its body, leading to incredible pain due to its old and new injuries.

The second attack shot from the beast.

WHOOM!

A deafening vibrating sound echoed as the massive serpent's second breath attack reached them. Unlike the first time, the shields couldn't absorb too much of the energy, they were still full and dissipating the previous attack's blow. 

This made it so that the ray would barely be slowed down when it arrived. 

BOOOM!

The second explosion occurred, spreading out the cracks on the dome shield much further and making it look as if a single touch could make it crumble. 

Evelyn gulped and asked. "You sure it can resist another hit? It looks as if it will crumble down to dust if I breathe too harshly!" 

Angel chuckled and looked at Evelyn. "You've been quite fidgety lately. Trust the plan!"

Evelyn sighed and prepared her spear. "I am trusting it. I just like to make sure of things I otherwise would find stupid!"

The other girls laughed and saw the snake look at them with a strangely noticeable sneer. It felt as if the snake was thinking it had won. The girls saw the beast open its mouth and aim at them again.

Then…

BOOM!

The third beam rushed through with even more strength than the previous two. Angel's eyebrows jumped. "So strong! I thought it used at least seventy percent of its strength with the other two attacks. It didn't even reach forty at that time!"

CRASH!

The dome around them exploded, and the snake felt triumphant. In the end, the tricks that the small prey could do to suppress it were not useful. The snake felt victorious and charged forward.

Angel similarly stepped forward, and with elegant motions, she palmed forward. "Activate. [Profound Counterattack Formation]."

The snake suddenly felt a sense of extreme danger. When it was sure of its victory, it realized that the twelve shields had not disappeared. In fact, they were still floating there, now closer to each other than ever. 

Then, when the small person palm-struck the air, the circles rearranged. The one at the back doubled in size, while the one at the front stretched into a cylinder with half the radius.

The rest transformed into something in between. 

The snake's pupils thinned, and it decided to give up on attacking altogether, changing to defense. 

In that instant, an armor of pure ice surrounded the snake's furry body, and a phantom image of a blue snake layered itself above that. The formation fired a white beam next.

BOOOOM!

The powerful attack struck the defense of the snake and instantly broke it. The power of the attack was equivalent to the energy the formation had absorbed, added, and then enhanced. 

The girls saw as the snake was sent flying unceremoniously, crushing several trees as it flew away. Such power was slightly outside the expectation of almost everyone. 

Yasenia had a choice at this moment. 'Do we fight it to the death, or do we leave?'

Time felt as if it had slowed down. In the distance, Yasenia could see the injured body of the furry snake, clearly weakened tremendously. The body of such a creature was a treasure in and of itself, and killing it would provide enormous benefits. 

On the other side, the storm was approaching. They had yet to find a cave to hide, and with the commotion they had caused, they would certainly catch the attention of other powerful beasts. So, they were in a countdown.

Greediness flashed in Yasenia's eyes. However, over such a feeling, the desire to protect her lovers reigned supreme. Hence, after a flash of hesitation, Yasenia shouted. "Retreat! We need to leave now and find a place to hide."

Seeing Yasenia make such a decision warmed the hearts of everyone present. They also understood how valuable that snake's body was. Still, they agreed with Yasenia's decision. Trying to fight, kill, and loot that snake would not be an easy task. 

No creature in the Sixth realm would go down without a fight.

Yasenia's group rushed away, caring less than before about their stealth. Thankfully, as the storm's intensity increased, it appeared that not many creatures were willing to roam the outside and hunt.

So, after an hour of searching, Yasenia's group found a cave in the distance. They didn't walk inside right away, though. "How many beasts do you think there will be inside?" 

Yasenia muttered. "Personally, I don't really feel too much danger. Of course, we can't lower our guards." 

Tatyana hummed and looked at Yasenia. Then, she waved her hand and took out a few of the spheres with Yasenia's enhanced mating scent. 

The girls blinked and looked at those. Evelyn asked, confused. "How will those help us?"

Tatyana smiled. "If they are having sex, it will be easier to kill them all."

Everyone couldn't help but agree. Still, they felt that this was somehow wrong. 'Killing them after making them horny… Such a cruel death.'

Tatyana didn't hesitate and threw around ten of those bombs inside the caves. 

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

The girls blinked twice and waited. Suddenly, they heard a deep growl and a high-pitched one, followed by banging sounds.

Evelyn whistled. "Wow, they are really going at it, eh?" 

The others looked at her once. Still, they charged inside right after. Of course, they had taken a pill from Kali to avoid getting horny themselves. 

The fight inside was against a bunch of Fifth Realm creatures, and after three hours of fighting, they managed to eliminate all of the threats inside the cave. 

Outside, a brutal snowstorm was raging on with no signs of stopping.
