Chapter 1219


    Chapter 1219 Snake Den


    "Sterio, aren’t Mallories known for their expertise in handling snakes and insects? Why are you


    struggling against them now?"


    Jonathan’s clothes were stained crimson with blood.


    The serpents moved with incredible speed, injecting an unidentified venom into their victim’s


    bloodstream through their bites.


    Although their lives were not at risk due to Seboxia’s Divine Lock, their injuries proved difficult to heal.


    Jonathan and Sterio were left in a state of panic as they failed to regenerate instantly, even with the


    infusion of Seboxia’s life force.


    After all, a poison capable of resisting the might of Pryncyp of Strength was an rming threat.


    At the moment, Sterio gripped a dagger with a grave expression.


    "The methods passed down in my family are futile against these snakes.You saw how my parasites


    were nothing more than a meal for them," Sterio exined, coughing up blood as he spoke.


    As his blood dripped onto the ground, the snakes blurred into afterimages andunched their attack.


    ng! ng! ng! Amidst a flurry of resounding shes, Jonathan was engulfed in unbearable


    agony, as if his organs had detonated within him.


    "We can’t go on like this! I won’t be able to endure for much longer! We need a n, and we need it


    now!"


    Jonathan managed to utter through clenched teeth as he strained to hold the bronze handbell above


    him.


    While the bronze handbell provided a formidable defense against physical assaults, it offered no


    protection against the ensuing vibrations and recoil.


    Each strike from the snakes as they rammed into the bronze handbell felt akin to a devastating blow


    from a Grandmaster.


    If they didn’t devise a n soon, Jonathan feared he would dissolve into a pool of blood, much like


    Sirius of the Osborne family.


    "Hold on!"


    Sterio eximed, tightly gripping the ck dagger in his hand.


    As ck blood trickled down from the de’s tip, he merged his spiritual energy with the blood before it


    could touch the ground, forming a peculiar symbol.


    ck streaks began to emerge on Sterio’s skin as he performed a series of intricate hand seals.


    Gradually, the ck streaks transformed into minuscule bugs, norger than grains of sand under


    Jonathan’s watchful gaze.


    "Are all your methods this unsettling?" he remarked, shooting a helpless look at Sterio.


    Sterio clenched his right hand in the air, and the bugs swiftly assembled, taking the shape of a


    sword.


    "Enough talk, open the barrier!"


    "Let’s go!"


    Jonathan shouted, extending his hand to store the bronze handbell back into his storage ring.


    "D*mn you!"


    Sterio raised his sword and severed the snake that had sunk its fangs into his neck. Simultaneously,


    the "ck tattoos" on his skin burst forth, transforming into bloodied thorns that pierced the air.


    In Jonathan’s eyes, Sterio resembled a creature simr to Sp*derman as the sharp tendrils impaled


    the attacking snakes.


    Just then, Seboxia’s spiritual energy manifested beside Jonathan.


    "That Mallory boy’s spell is draining his vitality and spiritual energy rapidly due to his injuries.You have


    one minute to escape from here.Failure to do so will result in a dire consequence," Seboxia warned


    while Jonathan fought off another wave of attacking snakes.


    Under normal circumstances, having a powerful cultivator like Seboxia and possessing Pryncyp of


    Strength would have given them the advantage.


    It might have even allowed them to assert dominance over the small world if they so desired.


    However, to their dismay, the snakes in this realm possessed a defense akin to an invisible shield.


    It was simr to the insects on Mount of No Return that even Seboxia’s life force proved ineffective


    against them.


    In essence, her Pryncyp of Strength seemed to only work against human entities in the small world,


    rendering it futile against these demonic beasts.


    In the small world, all external influences were sealed off, creating a level ying field and forcibly


    resetting cultivators from Divine Realm and God Realm to the same starting point.


    Jonathan had boldly targeted the city center, bolstered by his possession of the spiritual bead


    containing Seboxia’s life force.


    Having the spiritual bead while others had lost their Pryncyp of Strength granted him significant


    strength and even the potential to overthrow the existing authorities.


    However, Jonathan fell into despair when he discovered that Seboxia’s life force proved ineffective


    against those demonic beasts.


    The ease with which the native people in the small world tamed the green wolves and other beasts for


    transportation demonstrated their expertise in taming wild creatures.


    They would have been doomed if they barged into Yannopolis while it was guarded by such wild


    beasts.


    "Please help Sterio regain his vitality."


    Jonathan sliced a snake in half, tearing its fist-sized head from his shoulder and tossing it aside.


    "Elemental Extrication Technique, Earth Wall!"


    Spiritual energy surged from his feet as walls emerged from the ground, enclosing Jonathan and


    Sterio within their protective embrace.

    "What are you doing?"


    Sterio questioned, eyeing the towering thirty-meter high walls that now surrounded them.


    Jonathan had initially intended to use his Earthly Escape technique to flee with Sterio, but that n


    was abandoned upon realizing that the ground was teeming with more snakes than the empty space.


    They had unwittingly entered a snake den.


    Jonathan used his Earthly Escape technique to lift the ground beneath the snakes, briefly startling them


    and interrupting their pursuit.


    However, their momentary panic quickly subsided, and they resumed their menacing advance toward


    Jonathan and Sterio.


    Trapped within the encircling walls, like captives in a cage, Jonathan and Sterio were assaulted by a


    deluge of descending demon snakes.


    "Are you out of your mind, Jonathan? I’m not signing up for a suicide mission!"


    Sterio eximed, his bug allies transforming into swift ck knives to fend off the falling serpents.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan’s face burned with determination as he swiftly formed a series of hand seals.


    "Elemental Extrication Technique, spiritual fire!"


    A tiny me ignited on Jonathan’s fingertips, emanating an eerie aura that sent a shiver through


    Sterio’s spine.


    Sensing a foreboding presence, Sterio turned toward Jonathan.


    However, before he couldprehend the situation fully, a blinding light shed before his eyes.


    In an instant, an explosion thrust him into the air, leaving him disoriented and airborne.
