Silver Snakes (3)

"Hehe, your abilities are indeed extraordinary. However, let me tell you, I won't give up easily," Fanxin said with a smile.

Even if the opponent is powerful, if they pose no threat to him, then what is there for him to fear?

Therefore, he will not run away; he will persevere to the end.

"Is that so? In that case, I'm afraid a great battle is inevitable between us," the tall figure said.

"That's right, that's exactly it. Let's go then," Fanxin said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, the tall figure was enraged. Without another word, he charged madly towards Fanxin.

Undeterred, Fanxin Xin brandished her diamond knife and charged towards the tall man.

They were all carrying knives, fearless and undaunted.

Once they were together, the tall man swung his sword, aiming straight for Fanxin's head.

Fanxin showed no mercy, slashing at the opponent's feet with his sword.

Neither side dodged; they clashed head-on. After a moment, the knives were at their intended points.

Then, the result was unexpected. Neither of them was injured.

Because just as the blades were about to reach them, they all summoned their Haki, which covered the area.

That Haki is comparable to steel; Haki defends a place, it's almost impossible to cut through it.

"Heh heh, kid, we're evenly matched. You can't beat me, understand?" the tall figure shouted.

"Really? I don't think so," Fanxin said. "My greatest skill is endurance. I can fight for three days and three nights without falling. So don't be too anxious, we have a long way to go."

A single strike cannot determine victory or defeat, because if you encounter an opponent of equal strength, you may not be able to finish them off in one move.

To determine a winner, a desperate battle is necessary, and that will take an exceptionally long time.

"You... you're really persistent!" The tall figure was furious upon hearing this.

He truly didn't want to provoke Fanxin, because he couldn't kill Fanxin with a single blow. Such an opponent was extremely dangerous; he could easily be killed himself.

Therefore, he hoped that Fanxin could leave, so that she would not have to face such risks.

However, Fanxin ignored him, because he wanted to get what he wanted.

"If you give me what I want, I'll leave immediately. If you don't, then I'll just have to stay and bother you." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "You decide! I'm waiting."

He had plenty of time, so he wasn't in a hurry to go to the second half of the New World. Right now, he needed to gain new power; only then would he be more powerful in the second half, and his brothers wouldn't suffer such heavy casualties.

"Fine, I'll give it to you. But you promised me you had to leave, understand?" The tall man was furious upon hearing this.

In the end, he had no choice but to agree. When faced with a persistent and unbeatable guy, there's nothing you can do if you don't compromise.

"Alright, I promise you, hurry up and give it to me," Fanxin shouted. With that, he stretched out his hand, demanding the item from the tall man.

"Here, take this." The tall figure rolled his eyes and tossed over a silvery-gray object, the contents of which were unclear.

Fanxin didn't bother with it anymore. He covered his hands with his Haki and then reached out to take the item.

Fanxin glanced at it, his expression froze for a moment, and said, "Hey, what are you doing? Giving me a snake, are you messing with me?"

What he was holding in his hand was a snake.

This snake was exactly the same as the silver snake he had encountered in the sea before, only smaller in size.

"That's its power. If you don't believe me, you can anger it and see what it does," the tall figure said.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin did as he was told, constantly provoking the snake. After a while, the snake became truly enraged and spat silver light at Fanxin.

A moment later, Fanxin turned into a silver-gray person, which looked quite comical.

However, Fanxin was unaffected, because his body was no longer afraid of the silver light.

"Hehe, that's really true," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Yes, it's the power of these snakes. I feel that this light is like poison, capable of numbing the body and blood, causing a slow death," the tall figure said.

"Oh, I see. You're here to collect these snakes, right?" Fanxin said.

"Indeed, but I ultimately failed to find the Serpent King. The Serpent King's power is the greatest; a single silver ray can wipe out a large group of people, even experts can withstand it," the tall man said.

"Okay, I understand. I won't bother you anymore," Fanxin nodded and said.

After saying that, he used Conqueror's Haki on the silver-gray snake, intimidating it. As a result, the snake dared not attack him.

"And you're not allowed to lay a hand on my friends, understand?" Fanxin said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the silver-gray snake nodded slightly, indicating that it understood.

It was very well-behaved; it must have been intimidated by Fanxin's Haki and dared not act recklessly.

"Alright, I'll take you somewhere." With that, Fanxin said no more and sent the little snake into the Diamond Space.

He was going to let the Little Black Cat do the research. Of course, just to be on the safe side, he still did something to the little snake. That way, he wouldn't have to worry.

"Alright, I'm leaving now," Fanxin said, and then quickly left.

The tall man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fanxin leave. He would have been extremely frustrated if Fanxin hadn't left.

After that, he said no more and immediately returned to his castle. He even ordered his men not to pursue Fanxin.

It's not good for them to Fanxin. He finally left with great difficulty. If they go after him and bring that troublesome guy back, then they'll be in big trouble.

Having obtained what he wanted, Fanxin naturally had no desire to continue pursuing it. He continued his journey and soon arrived at the coast.

He looked at the sea, pondered for a moment, and then jumped in.

Previously, he didn't know what the silver snake meant. But now he does. So, he's going to capture it.

The silver snake was much larger than the one he had just caught, so he figured it must be the snake king.

The snake king must be incredibly powerful, which is why he wants to possess it. If he could tame it, that would be ideal.

Once in the sea, he immediately headed for the bottom.

As he walked, he released his Haki, preparing to search for the silver snake.

However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find what he wanted. The silver snake seemed to have vanished into thin air; no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find it.

"Could it have left?" Fanxin for a moment, and this was the only explanation he could come up with.

Without saying another word, he immediately headed out to sea.

He searched every corner of the place, but still couldn't find the snake. Since that was the case, the snake must have already left. There was no point in him staying any longer.

So he had no choice but to leave.

However, just as Fanxin was about to reach the surface of the sea, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He noticed a silver-gray ribbon tightly wrapped around his foot, as if trying to pull him to the bottom of the sea.

Fanxin for a moment, then did not resist, letting the other person pull him towards the depths of the sea.

Ten minutes later, he entered the utterly dark seabed.

Without Fanxin ado, Fan Xin immediately activated his Observation Haki, thus gaining complete clarity no matter how dark the place was.

"Hehe, I thought you were gone, but I didn't expect you to reappear." After activating his Haki, Fanxin clearly saw the silver-gray ribbon, which was the silver snake he was looking for.

Previously, he had no idea where it was, and he couldn't find it. But now it had actually shown itself, which surprised him quite a bit.

Although he saw the other party, Fanxin still didn't make a move. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to do by dragging him to the depths of the water.

He wasn't afraid anyway, given his immense strength. Besides, he had activated his Diamond Armor, so even if something happened, he wouldn't suffer much damage.

Upon reaching the depths of the sea, Fanxin saw that the silver snake had led him into a large, silvery-gray cave.

Inside, Fanxin saw many silver-gray snakes crawling around.

However, to his surprise, although these snakes looked fierce, they were very docile and did not attack people.

"Hey, why did you bring me here?" Fanxin asked curiously.

After the silver snake brought him down, it released him. He knew that the silver snake must have something to ask him; otherwise, it would have already made its move.

He looked at the silver snake with great curiosity, wondering what it wanted from him.

The long, silvery-gray Culverin shook its head a few times, as if it were about to take him somewhere.

Fanxin pondered for a moment, but finally followed.

They continued on their journey until they finally arrived at a large square.

In the center of the square, there stands a huge silver-gray sphere.

After the silver-gray Culverin pulled him over, it immediately bit Fanxin's fingertip and sucked some blood.

Fanxin was stunned, feeling quite surprised. His hand was covered in hard diamonds, yet the silver snake had bitten his finger so easily—this was truly unexpected.

Those teeth are amazing!

Fanxin couldn't help but shiver. He was becoming uneasy; if this snake wanted to kill him, he could very well be seriously injured.

However, he felt fortunate that the snake did not attack him.

The silver-gray Culverin spat his blood onto the silver-gray sphere. The sphere quickly absorbed his blood.

Soon after, the silver-gray sphere slowly shrank, eventually shrinking to the size of a fingertip.

A long, silvery-gray Culverin came over, grabbed the bead, and placed it in Fanxin's hand.

"What is this?" Fanxin asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the silver-gray Culverin gestured left and right a few times. However, after a long while, Fanxin still couldn't understand what it was trying to do.

Then he let the Little Black Cat out.

Knowing that the silver snakes wouldn't attack him, he wasn't worried about them attacking the Little Black Cat anymore.

He released the Little Black Cat because Little Black Cat's an animal too, and it could understand what the silver snake was trying to say.

Fanxin looked at the Little Black Cat and said, "Translate for me, what is it trying to say?"

"It said, 'Take them away, or they will face annihilation,'" the Little Black Cat said.

"Oh, what kind of catastrophic disaster?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"It says that the person outside wants to use them as raw materials for weapons. They'll have to work endlessly from now on, which will greatly shorten their lifespan," the Little Black Cat said. "Their reproductive capacity is very low; if a large number of family members die, their Silver Snake Clan will become extinct."

"Oh, I see. I understand now. Their silver light is actually limited, not endless." Fanxin nodded in understanding and said.

"Hmm, what are you planning to do?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"What else can we do? It's come to this, how can I not save them?" Fanxin said, "Tell it that I will take them away, and tell it not to worry."

Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat nodded slightly and immediately relayed Fanxin's words to the silver snake.

"Oh, right, the silver snake said you should save their companions. Many of them have been captured and are being used as raw materials for weapons," the Little Black Cat said.

"Let me deal with that guy... that's going to be troublesome." Fanxin pondered for a moment, then said, "But there's no other way, I'll just agree."

Whether it's just one person or a group of people, it's still saving lives.

So, since he's already taken action, he can only see it through to the end.

"Alright, go ahead," the Little Black Cat said. "Just put the silver snake into the Diamond Space, and that'll be fine."

"I understand." Fanxin Xin nodded and immediately opened the Diamond Space.

Since this guy wasn't attacking him anymore, he couldn't be bothered to bother with it anymore.

Only after all the silver snakes had entered did Fanxin leave the seabed.

Back on shore, Fanxin glanced at the center of the island and said, "Little Black Cat, go and call everyone back. Tell them to attack this place."

"Aren't you going to help?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"Hehe, since we know how to deal with the silver snake's silver light, then we don't need to be afraid. Anyway, it's not a big deal, why don't we invite everyone over to have some fun? They can also practice their skills," Fanxin said.

Previously, he was worried that the silver light was too powerful and that everyone would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, he had everyone leave the place.

Now that he has found a way to deal with the silver light, he has nothing to fear.

"Okay, I understand." Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat immediately contacted everyone and asked them to come towards the island.
