After killing one black snake, Nuwa's figure flashed, and she shifted to the next location.
Nuwa was not the only one taking action. After hearing her call, Fuxi and the Mountain Lords and Great Gate Lords also began clearing out black snakes throughout Li Mountain.
However, their divine sense covered a far smaller area than Nuwa's. They could only clear out the black snakes near Li Mountain's central region; those farther away lay beyond the reach of their whips.
The three hundred black snakes could not be locked onto with divine sense, making them difficult to eliminate.
Only when clanspeople fell somewhere could they rush there at once and strike.
The flames within the black snakes were certainly fierce, but Tongtian Jiaozhu had divided them into three hundred portions, after all. With sufficient caution, Saint Soul Realm experts could still withstand them.
Yet although the black snakes were killed, the clanspeople suffered grievous casualties.
For the time it took an incense stick to burn, everyone throughout Li Mountain scrambled frantically.
Nuwa made a rough estimate. This wave of snakes had cost Li Mountain seven hundred thousand clanspeople, including quite a few elites...
Although Li Mountain had a considerable population, those who had fallen were all her people. Her feelings were easy to imagine.
The turmoil in Li Mountain soon made itself felt on Luo Yan's end.
After all, the Mountain Lords and Great Gate Lords contributed nearly half the energy. With them off hunting black snakes, the energy available for the Energy Axis to convert naturally became unstable.
Fortunately, Luo Yan was already highly proficient. Through constant adjustments, she barely managed to keep the wildly growing blue pillars suppressed.
Once the Mountain Lords and Great Gate Lords returned to their positions, the energy supplied to the Energy Axis stabilized again.
