Chapter 340: Frost Serpents

Lie Ren tried to retreat, but it was clear that he wouldn't be able to escape the Frost Serpents in time. They were darting toward him like azure bullets, their hideous jaws wide open to clamp down upon him. Presumably to swallow him whole.

"Sagittarius."

Without thinking, I had summoned my Constellation bow and was unleashing several flaming arrows in the Frost Serpents' direction. The fiery arrows detonated against the hissing monstrosities, cloaking them in ember and smoke and halting them momentarily. Lie Ren seized the opportunity to withdraw, putting as much distance between himself and his pursuers as possible.

"Thanks!" he told me, pausing to catch his breath. I nodded and readjusted my aim. The Frost Serpents emerged from the slowly dissipating smoke, and I was stunned to see that they were still unscathed despite taking the brunt of my flaming arrows.
