puff!
The tiger's claws tore through the snake's scales without any resistance and crushed its cervical vertebrae.

Almost the instant Han Ning made his move.
"Whoosh~"
Snowcake also moved, its three-colored crystal scales on its forehead flashed, and an invisible spiritual shriek spread out first.
hum!
The black serpent monsters that were locked on froze in unison, their eyes momentarily blank with confusion.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xuebing accelerated, opened its mouth wide, and bit down hard on the head of another black snake monster.
Snap! Puff!
The terrifying bite force pierced most of the black serpent's head, causing foul blood to gush out.

The battle broke out quickly and ended in the blink of an eye.
Han Ning and Xue Bing have excellent teamwork; one is the main attacker, and the other controls and finishes off enemies.
Each swing of the tiger claw can efficiently kill a snake monster.
Snowcake's mental shriek interference, combined with Crystal Breath's precise targeting, is highly efficient.
In less than a minute, the entire Black Serpent Monster squad was wiped out.

Snowcake eagerly pounced on the relatively intact black serpent monster corpses, tearing and swallowing them with large bites.
"Hang Chih Chih..."
The eerie chewing sounds echoed underwater.
It seems to have a special preference for snake meat containing black tide energy, and has an excellent appetite.
Bata bata~
The sound of chewing rice crackers was exceptionally clear in the environment where only rain was falling.
Han Ning's tiger-like eyes swept across the murky waters, a sudden sense of alarm rising in his heart.
"Snow Cracker, be on alert!"
Wow!
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water came from all around.
About twenty black snake-like creatures crawled out from the gaps between abandoned vehicles and from behind half-collapsed billboards and some nooks and crannies.
These basilisks are generally 2-3 meters long, which is not long for a snake; in fact, they can be described as rather stout.
"Roar!" Snowcake stopped eating, its brow scales shimmering, and it released mental fluctuations once more.
Like the unfortunate ones before them, these basilisks were all frozen in place by the shockwave.
Han Ning seized the opportunity, leaped forward, and slammed heavily into the center of the snake swarm.
Boom! Splat! Splat!
With a tearing claw, the two stiff, black serpentine heads exploded.
"hiss!"
The third snake reacted a little faster, slamming its tail against the water's surface in an attempt to block the attack with its thick, scale-covered tail.
But the terrifying power of the tiger's claws shattered the scales, dug into the snake's flesh, and swung it up, smashing it towards the snake monster attacking from the right.
Bang! The two black serpent monsters' heads collided, and the sound of bones cracking echoed.
"hiss……"
On the left wing, three black serpent monsters opened their mouths wide, spewing out three thick, ink-black plumes of smoke. Wherever they passed, even rainwater was corroded and began to emit white smoke.
At this moment, Xuebing nimbly shifted to the side, and Jingliu's breath arrived first despite being behind.
A continuous beam of tri-colored light pierced through the black smoke, swirling left and right, evaporating the venom into a pungent white mist. Its momentum undiminished, it pierced the eye socket of a black serpent monster.
"Roar!!"
Han Ning roared, enduring the sporadic splatter of poisonous smoke, each swing of his tiger claws accompanied by a muffled cracking sound as his bones and muscles burst.
These black serpent monsters' bodies were no different from paper under his claws.
Snowcake swam closely beside him, its crystal scales shimmering, constantly releasing alternating spiritual shrieks and crystalline breaths.
“Woohoo!!”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"
More than twenty black snake monsters were slaughtered in the floodwater.
However, they were never able to break through the death barrier constructed by the man and the lizard.
Dark gold and tricolor light shimmered and intertwined in the rain, each flash accompanied by the black serpent monster's mournful howl.
Blood stained a large area of water, and the mangled snake body sank to the bottom.
When the last black serpent monster that tried to ambush from underwater had its spine crushed by Han Ning's tiger claws, the scene finally quieted down.
More than twenty streams of light, emanating from the snake corpse, rose from it and all flowed into Han Ning's body.

"Ow!"
The moment the powerful warm current surged through Han Ning's body, Xuebing suddenly let out an excited roar.
"Ouch...ow!"
Its massive body trembled violently, and the porcelain-white scales covering its entire body made a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound, as if they were about to crumble inch by inch at any moment.
The tri-colored crystal scale on his forehead flashed frequently.
hum!
Sudden.
An energy surge far stronger than any before erupted from Xuebing's body.
Its body trembled, and a yellowish-brown halo burst forth from the gaps in the porcelain-white scales covering its entire body.
"Hooooo!!!"
Snowcake suddenly tilted its head back and let out a roar that was a mixture of pain and excitement. Its thick limbs kicked and thrashed in the water, stirring up large currents.
The body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Its body length, which was originally close to four meters, stretched rapidly, its shoulder height increased, its muscles bulged, and its bones crackled.
The grayish-white scales trembled gently in the light, and fine, earthy-yellow patterns began to appear at the edges.
These earthy yellow patterns are not static, but rather flow slowly across the surface of the scales as if they were alive.
The once smooth scales on the robust forelimbs and hindlimbs have become thicker and heavier around the joints and claws, giving them a rock-like texture.
Near the spine on its back, several rows of small, sharp, bony protrusions pierce through the scales, shimmering with a yellowish-brown light.
Chapter 89 Earth Element Manipulation
The three-colored crystal scale on his forehead also changed at this moment.
A faint, rich yellow light rippled outwards, eventually forming a stable, earthy-yellow core within the crystal scales.
The three-colored halo slowly rotated around the earthy yellow core, forming a strange balance.
The entire transformation process lasted about ten seconds.
As the light gradually dimmed, the snow cake's shape stabilized again.
It is about 4.5 meters long and nearly 1.8 meters tall at the shoulder.
The size increase wasn't too much, but it was full of power and had an added sense of earthy weight.
The limbs and back have the densest yellowish-brown patterns, subtly exuding a sense of composure.

"Hooooo..."
Xuebing let out a low growl, its voice deeper and more resonant than before, carrying a sturdy and honest quality, somewhat like a deep bass cannon.
It seemed quite intrigued by its newfound power, and instinctively raised one of its front paws, covered in thick, earthy-yellow markings, and gently pressed it onto the mud at the bottom of the water.
Buzz…!
An invisible wave rippled outwards from the snow cake's paw, spreading outwards in concentric circles.
The silt within a 2-meter radius seemed to "come alive."
Under Xuebing's mental control, the silt hardened, and several sharp, brownish-red spikes, each about 2 meters long, emerged from the silt.
