Enzo and Norma cautiously peeked out from the cave entrance.

In front of the cave, there was no obstruction, and the two of them could easily see the distant scenery. They could see a vast expanse of forest, a wide river to the left, and a peculiar, towering peak on the right.

The mountain peak is incredibly straight, like a huge stone stick inserted into the ground.

The strange sound was coming from this peak.

“What is that?”

Enzo asked, astonished.

Norma was also shocked, her face unusually serious, and she carefully dragged Enzo back into the cave before speaking up, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be a Titan creature, and it’s also an extremely rare group of Titan creatures – Flame Cobra.”

Enzo’s heart raced.

While a strong bloodline didn’t necessarily guarantee power, it often indicated exceptional strength.

But strong strength often indicated that a person has extraordinary abilities.

This is particularly evident in some terrifying monsters, especially with this Flame Cobra. Its enormous size allows it to coil around an entire mountain, and its Titan-level bloodline further demonstrates the immense strength of this Flame Cobra.

Despite this, Enzo remained relatively composed.

Enzo analyzed, “That peak is likely the resting place of the Flame Cobra. This cave is no longer safe; we should leave as soon as possible.”

Norma also agreed with this point.

Just as the two were about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded near the cave entrance, and it was still a human conversation, “Lord Sharlayan, there is a cave here where you can rest.

At the next moment,a group of people entered the cave and saw Enzo and Norma preparing to leave.

“It’s you!”

The man called Sharlayan said, his eyes flashing with surprise and greed.

Enzo wanted to avoid conflict and said, “The cave is yours to rest in. We’ll leave immediately.”

Sharlayan was taken aback.

Smiling, he assumed Enzo and Norma were scared and taunted, “Weren’t you tough earlier? Afraid now?”

“You should leave.” Sharlayan continued. “But first, hand over that Spatial Stone essence you have!”

Sharlayan’s companions shouted, “Hand it over!”

Norma and Enzo’s expressions changed, not because of Sharlayan’s threat but because they noticed the Flame Cobra on the peak had vanished.

Oh no!

Danger loomed instantly, and Enzo and Norma fled without hesitation.

Seeing this , Sharlayan sneered, “What a bunch of cowards!”

At that moment, Sharlayan smelled an extremely foul odor and felt warm blood splattering on his face. He quickly turned around and saw that a serpent had appeared behind him, its head over two meters wide, with a corpse of one of his subordinates in its mouth.

The serpent’s cold, vertical eyes were fixed on him.

What kind of monster is this?

Fear gripped Sharlayan, his mind going blank as he instinctively fled.

Instead of seeking another place to hide, he chased after the direction Enzo and Norma were heading.

Hearing the commotion behind them, Norma cursed angrily, “Damn it! This guy is trying to lead the Flame Cobra to us!”

Enzo was equally furious.

But right now, escape was their only option.

The Flame Cobra’s power was overwhelming. To make matters worse, the Spatial Stone vein seemed to disrupt the control of spatial elemental forces in the realm, making it difficult to use spatial powers for combat or to open spatial channels within the domain.

The Flame Cobra moved incredibly fast and quickly caught up.

Sharlayan, now trailing behind Enzo and Norma, shouted desperately, “Help me! I don’t want to die! If you save me, I’ll offer a generous reward!”

Enzo and Norma did not stop.

At a time like this, stopping would only mean being devoured by the Flame Cobra.

Sharlayan suddenly became desperate, but a dark thought arose in his heart. He accumulated his own strength in his hands, forming a powerful energy ball, but it was not attacking Flame Cobra behind him, but bombarding Enzo and Norma’s position.

At the same time, he said, “If you don’t save me, then die together.”

After these words ,the energy sphere from Sharlayan was shot toward Enzo and Norma.

Both Enzo and Norma noticed and quickly avoided.

At that moment, the Flame Cobra opened its massive jaws and swallowed Sharlayan whole.

To avoid the energy sphere, Enzo and Norma had been delayed. As a result, the Flame Cobra finished consuming Sharlayan and quickly closed the distance, its enormous body blocking Enzo and Norma’s path.

Enzo and Norma had no choice but to stop.

“Enzo, I’ll lure the Flame Cobra away, and you escape immediately.”

Norma said that, though her tone was far from confident.

The Flame Cobra’s strength was immense, and diverting it alone almost guaranteed death.

Enzo understood this point well.

He shook his head and said, “It’s not time for that yet.”

As if to confirm Enzo’s words, the Flame Cobra’s head lowered, focusing on Enzo and Norma. Instead of attacking immediately, it flicked its crimson tongue, seemingly sensing something.

What did it want to do?

Enzo and Norma were puzzled.

However, this gave them a sigh of relief.

The Flame Cobra seemed to possess some intelligence and might be able to communicate, giving them a chance for survival.

In the next moment, the Flame Cobra lowered its head even further, pressing it against the ground.

Norma, confused, asked, “Enzo, what does this mean?”

Enzo, familiar with serpent behavior from his experiences with Arceus.

He speculated, “It probably wants to take us somewhere, signaling us to stand on its head.”

Norma was still worried, hesitating as she asked, “Is that really the case?”

But Enzo took her hand and jumped onto the Flame Cobra’s head. The Flame Cobra made no resistance. Once they were stable, it lifted its head and swiftly moved through the forest, reaching the strange mountain in no time. It then coiled up and carried Enzo and Norma to the peak of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain was a vast nest.

It was surrounded by boulders, with the center piled high with branches and dead leaves. Three thumb-thick red-hued baby serpents lay atop the leaves, their presence faint.

Norma glanced around and said, “Those are the Flame Cobra’s offspring.”

Enzo looked over and roughly guessed the Flame Cobra’s intention. He said, “The Flame Cobra must have sensed the life energy I emitted earlier, so it wants me to help these three baby serpents.”

As Enzo spoke, another large serpent appeared.

Though smaller than the one coiled around the peak, it was still a formidable creature and appeared quite agitated, hissing loudly upon seeing Enzo and Norma.

The large serpent extended its tongue in response.

Enzo approached and asked, “Do you want me to heal these three baby serpents?”

The large serpent nodded.

With this confirmation, Enzo was reassured.

Although the injuries suffered by these three little snakes may not seem simple, the life energy they control come from the Tree of Life, which was the origin tree of all human life. It could be said that using it for treatment is a waste of talent.

Enzo then began the healing process.

The Ring of the World’s totem appeared on his palm, its patterns shifting until they formed a unique design.

Next, a vibrant green life energy flowed from the Ring, splitting into three streams and entering the weakened baby serpents.

Moments later, the vitality of the three baby serpents began to strengthen.

One of the baby serpents, particularly bold, climbed directly onto Enzo and coiled around his wrist.

Norma looked on, astonished.

She had never seen Enzo’s totem before.

Unlike typical symbols, which usually depict specific objects, Enzo’s totem was represented by a ring-like symbol. Such totems were rare and their powers were shrouded in mystery. What amazed Norma most was that the patterns within the ring-shaped totem were changing.

Moreover, the life energy Enzo was using was incredibly pure.

Norma was unable to comprehend it, feeling that her understanding of the supernatural had been completely overturned.

However, now was not the time for contemplation.

As the three baby serpents recovered, the two larger serpents emitted excited hissing sounds.

Norma seized the opportunity to examine the baby serpent coiled around Enzo’s wrist and her expression changed dramatically. With immense excitement, she said, “Enzo, this isn’t a Flame Cobra hatchling!”

Enzo was puzzled and asked, “Not?”

Upon closer inspection, he did notice differences. The baby serpent on his wrist had red scales and flame-like patterns similar to the larger serpents, but it had a small horn on its forehead and lacked the flame patterns on its tail.

Norma explained, “This is likely a mutation of the Flame Cobra bloodline. “

“There is a Spatial Stone vein in this secret realm, and through long-term contact, two Flame Cobras have been affected, resulting in mutations in their offspring. However, mutations are often uncontrollable, and as a result, after three small snakes hatch, they become extremely weak.

Without you, they may not be long before they die.”

Enzo understood now.

At that moment, the larger Flame Cobra pressed its head against the top of the mountain again.
