Lu Chen had gone through every cave entrance he could access and found a total of nine pythons.
The smallest was at the early stage of the Supernatural Power realm, while the largest had already reached the peak of the Supernatural Power realm, just one step away from the Longevity realm.
Nine snakes, plus the giant python in the pool—ten in all.
This was a complete snake colony.
And once the egg in the pool hatched, it would become the eleventh.
Lu Chen returned to the cavern, his brows tightly furrowed.
He was not afraid of ten snakes. With his current strength, even if all ten came at him together, he could still kill his way in and out seven times over.
But the problem was that the giant python in the pool was at the middle stage of the Longevity realm.
A middle-stage Longevity realm giant python, nine juvenile snakes at the late stage of the Supernatural Power realm, and three Demon Kings guarding the entrance...
This force was enough to sweep across the entire Northern Frontier.
If he ignored them and allowed them to develop, then in at most a year, this snake colony would expand beyond control. By then, not only Northern Garrison Pass, but all of northern Great Xia would become a Snake Den.
They had to be eliminated.
But how?
If he fought them head-on, he had no certainty of victory. Even if he won, he would inevitably pay a grievous price.
What was more, the three Demon Kings were still guarding the entrance. Once a battle broke out, they would definitely rush down to provide support.
He had to think of a way to separate them and defeat them one by one.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen's gaze fell on the egg.
