Suddenly, the earth beneath them roared with an explosive force, sending tremors through the ground as if it had turned to liquid. Without hesitation, Wang Xiao reacted, pulling everyone close to him. In the blink of an eye, they shot into the sky, escaping the chaos below.
Crash!
A split second later, the ground where they had stood erupted in a violent explosion.
The shockwave carved out a massive crater, stretching for tens of kilometers, its edge reaching the main city and destroying a significant portion of it.
In the center of the devastation lay the enormous body of a purple-skinned snake, now lifeless, its blood pooling around it.
