Chapter 227: Two-Clawed Giant Snake, Bosha Giant Elephant

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Two-Clawed Giant Snake, Bosha Giant Elephant

It wasn’t enough for the giant eagles to smash the giant snakes into a bloody pulp; from time to time, more eagles would fly over and carry off chunks of the dead snakes.

Soon, these eagles would return to grab the giant snakes emerging from other tunnels and smash them to death.

It was rather difficult for other Magical Beasts to find traces of the giant snakes.

After all, the tunnels the giant snakes dug underground were a sprawling network, and the surface entrances were extremely well-hidden.

But to the eyes of the giant eagles, the snakes’ trails were painfully obvious.

The eagles only needed to fly high in the sky to see every trace of the snakes below, laid bare before them.

That was how the giant eagles were able to catch the giant snakes that escaped from other tunnels, bring them back, and smash them to death.

Just as the Giant Snake Race was being besieged by the various Demon Beast Races, deep at the bottom of the pit, the most powerful giant snake—the one Andre had seen—slowly uncoiled. Its massive body began to cling to the tunnel walls, making its way toward the surface.

And when the giant snake’s body was fully revealed in the sunlight, the Giant Elephants finally noticed something special about it.

This giant snake had two enormous claws growing from its belly, and bony plates protected its eyes.

When this Two-Clawed Giant Snake appeared, the other giant snakes in the Giant Snake’s Nest acted as if they had found their backbone. They all fell in line behind the Frost Giant Snake and began to ascend toward the surface.

At this moment, from among the Giant Elephant Race, a very old elephant with eight tusks slowly stepped forward.

Watching the giant snakes continuously climbing up from the tunnel, it raised its trunk and let out a resounding trumpet.

The Two-Clawed Giant Snake immediately answered with a roar of its own.

’What powerful auras. Even from this far away, I can feel the Power of these two Magical Beasts.’

Inside the Tomb of the Giant Elephant, Karina’s ears ached from the roars of the two behemoths.

She then got up, entered the passage, and waved her Magic Staff to illuminate the path ahead.

Soon, Karina came to an earthen wall.

And this earthen wall was the one Potato had used to seal the passage.

Karina pressed her body against the wall, her ear listening intently to the sounds of roaring from the other side.

At that moment on the surface, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant trumpeted again. The entire Giant Elephant Race began to part, moving away from the vicinity of the tunnel.

Soon, the Two-Clawed Giant Snake led the rest of the Giant Snake Race up out of the tunnel.

And just as all the giant snakes had slithered out, an almost imperceptible glint of cunning flashed in the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s eyes. It raised its front hoof and stomped down hard.

Instantly, the tunnel collapsed. Realizing their escape route was cut off, the giant snakes began to panic.

Only after reaching the surface did they discover that the Demon Beast Races surrounding them included nearly every type of Magical Beast on the Giant Elephant Plain.

Even herds of the usually herbivorous Earth Barbarian Bulls and Water Rhinos had arrived.

This showed that the "good deeds" the Giant Snake Race had previously committed on the Giant Elephant Plain had provoked the collective fury of all life on the plain.

Although the giant snakes had provoked widespread outrage, the war didn’t resume immediately. It was as if someone had pressed pause.

The Eight-toothed Giant Elephant looked at the Two-Clawed Giant Snake, let out a trumpet, and then shook its head. Six of its eight ivories instantly broke off, crashing heavily to the ground.

The Two-Clawed Giant Snake coiled its body, watching the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant. It had no idea what its old rival was planning.

But then, the giant snake sensed that something was wrong.

Because after the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s ivories broke and fell to the ground, new ones began to grow in their place.

And as the new ivories grew out, the aura of old age around the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant diminished dramatically.

This phenomenon meant that the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant was about to step into the Morning Star Realm.

Seeing the change in its old rival, the Two-Clawed Giant Snake now understood why the Giant Elephant Race had suddenly declared war on the Giant Snake Race.

It was simply because its old rival’s power had increased immensely, to the point where it was nearly an entire Realm above it.

In this situation, it would have been stranger if its old rival *hadn’t* started a war. And for the Giant Snake Race, this was not good news.

But fortunately, its old rival, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant, had not yet fully entered the Legendary Realm.

Therefore, it still had a chance in this battle.

Then, the Two-Clawed Giant Snake’s body slowly recoiled before shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant.

The Eight-toothed Giant Elephant had been watching the Two-Clawed Giant Snake’s every move. As the snake lunged, the elephant sidestepped, causing the snake’s attack to hit nothing but air.

The Two-Clawed Giant Snake landed on the ground, carving out a massive crater.

But the Two-Clawed Giant Snake seemed completely unharmed. It shook its head and climbed out of the crater.

Once out, the Two-Clawed Giant Snake’s pupils locked onto the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant, which was now circling it ceaselessly.

Suddenly, the Giant Elephant charged, rushing straight for the Two-Clawed Giant Snake.

The six newly grown tusks suddenly expanded severalfold, becoming indistinguishable from the two remaining original ivories.

Seeing the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant charging at it, the Two-Clawed Giant Snake showed no sign of weakness.

The Two-Clawed Giant Snake’s body recoiled once more, then shot forward like an arrow, crashing heavily into the Giant Elephant.

In the blink of an eye, the snake’s head and the elephant’s head collided.

The collision of the two Magical Beasts instantly triggered a chain reaction.

A powerful shockwave erupted from the point of impact, knocking all the surrounding Magical Beasts back several steps.

Then, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant and the Two-Clawed Giant Snake shook their heads and collided once more.

The Two-Clawed Giant Snake tried to use its body to constrict the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant to death.

But as the snake’s old rival, how could the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant not know the Two-Clawed Giant Snake’s tricks?

So, every time the Two-Clawed Giant Snake’s body began to move, the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant would retreat two steps and use its trunk as a weapon, lashing the snake’s body.

The Two-Clawed Giant Snake could only abandon its original offensive. It used its body to endure the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s attacks, transferring the Power into the ground with every writhe.

With every lash from the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant’s trunk, the ground beneath the Two-Clawed Giant Snake’s body would collapse by a meter.

Soon, the ground where the giant snake and Giant Elephant fought had become a deep pit.

And while the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant was fighting the Two-Clawed Giant Snake...

...the other Demon Beast Races and Giant Elephants looked at the Giant Snake Race, let out a roar, and began to charge.

The giant snakes coiled up their bodies to defend against the attacks of the Magical Beasts, while some tried to slither away and escape the battlefield.

But how could the other Demon Beast Races tolerate such a thing? Soon, the Magical Beasts were locked in a chaotic brawl.
