Poisonous Snake's pupils abruptly widened when he heard Lin Yuan's assessment.
He found it somewhat incomprehensible.
Power on the level of Lilia's and Rock Bear's was already incredible enough.
Lin Yuan, however, was entirely beyond his imagination.

But things had come to this, and he could only grit his teeth and carry on.
Poisonous Snake then waved his hand, scattering a layer of black poison across the floor between himself and Lin Yuan.
This was his homemade "lubricating oil" poison, with effects much like what the Poison Vial produced.

The next instant, the claw tightened, and an irresistible force hauled Poisonous Snake toward
