Chapter 153: Hold on

The number of krakens besieging the three witches gradually decreased, in fact, Garren and Peg's methods were far less effective than the ones that went up, the stinger on the former's long whip was not enough to cause lethal damage after it was exhausted of poison, and the seeds planted in the kraken's body were also pulled out by the growers after they calmed down due to the depth problem. The Sharkfangs still have an absolute numerical advantage, and if they want to, they can take down the three witches with a few casualties. What really made them unable to deal with the three of them was the giant serpent released by Fettis.

Snakes themselves are the most adept of the many species that attack from the dark, and their heat-sensing organs on their heads allow them to find their prey and targets in the absence of light, regardless of visual barriers. In contrast, the Kraken was not inferior to their opponents in this regard, as long as they were in the water, they could also perceive the flow of water instead of seeing everything around them. It's a pity that they are not in the water now, and the air is strange and dangerous to the Krakens.

"Bang!" a dull sound rang out one after another, as the serpent whipped its tail at an enemy trying to get closer from its back. The snake has an elongated body, but that doesn't mean it can't deal with enemies in multiple directions. The absence of extra limbs means that the muscles of its whole body are very developed and powerful, not only the fangs in its mouth, but its tail can be used as a lethal weapon as well as a powerful middle, and when approached by those who try to harm it from the line of sight, the snake will let people know that its simple body structure is far more practical than it seems.

Of course, no matter how suitable the body structure is, it also evolves on the premise of survival, unless it is artificially modified or has been living in some extreme environment, otherwise ordinary creatures will not have a structure to resist enemies that are far more numerous than themselves and have the ability to cooperate with each other. The Serpent is no exception, it is a worthy killer in nature, but it is not a skilled protector. Now, in order to fulfill the orders given to him by his master, the serpent had to curl up and protect Fioni in this way. To be honest, this state is not good against the Kraken, in nature, snakes often curl up to give them nowhere to go against enemies whose antibodies are larger than themselves, and when fighting the Kraken, the curled up body becomes the best target, constantly under attack. The hard scales were able to withstand most of them, but there were also krakens who either found a flaw or simply stabbed under the scales with their own weapons, causing the serpent to let out a low roar from time to time.

To be honest, the Krakens are also reluctant to fight such an opponent. If they were in the sea, they would have countless ways to fight against such a large opponent, but the buoyancy in the air was not enough to support them to attack from multiple directions like in the water, and blindly attacking from the same height would often usher in a sweeping snake tail or a roaring snake head. But they couldn't back down, because the serpent protected Fioni while also imprisoning Jaquia, who had fallen beside the shapeshifter, and after losing the elder of the clan, the huntress became the leader and last hope of the shark teeth, and the hunters could not imagine that the warrior, like the daughter of the shark father, had fallen in battle, and could not accept her death. So even if they fight to the last man, they won't leave the huntress behind.

The battle soon turned into a meat grinder-like situation, and as waves of Krakens were tossed, their injuries became worse and worse, from the lucky ones who broke a few bones at first to their internal organs after being wounded a second time, and the unlucky ones who had their own ribs stuck in their lungs or other vital organs. It's just that they are luckier than their companions who were bitten by the giant snake and swallowed in the stomach. But on the other hand, the giant snake's scales, which were originally shiny, have been turned up in a large area, and the body without protection is even more bloody and blurred. But this was not the last straw that broke the camel's back, as the serpent was unable to remove their weapons and kill them one by one when they swallowed the Kraken, and the hunters who were swallowed into the snake's belly with weapons in their hands still did their best to wreak havoc on the soft inner walls before suffocating. This caused the snake to swell up in a third of its body, and the swallowed kraken got stuck there, forming a noticeable lump.

The blood is permeating, and the increase in casualties makes this space that has been quiet and silent for many years lively. A large number of fresh beings who had died suddenly before they had yet old fell on the wet sand, their blood swallowed by the sand, and at the same time, something very pale in the shape of smoke slowly floated out of their mouths and noses, floating in the air for a few moments before converging in the same direction. There, where Lothar fell. The smoke gathered around the Count's body and flowed down his wounds into his body, and the Sirens, who had been caught by the serpent, had no intention of caring about the state of the man who was supposed to be dead, and did not see the tattoos on Lothar's body writhing as if they were alive.

At the same time, one of the three witches noticed something unusual, "Something is wrong!" Peg said to his companion behind him after scaring off a kraken with his hair. Karen flicked his whip, leaving an unforgettable wound on the wrist of one of the krakens, "What's wrong there? Is it the scary strength of these krakens?"

Of course, the Siren's physical strength is not that good, and Karen only thinks this because she has faced far more opponents than herself, and those Sirens can completely retreat to their companions after consuming the witch's physical strength, and they are good at group hunting, which is indeed what they do. "Blood, their blood. Fettis struggled to speak in a weak tone, her reminder causing the two young witches to pay attention to more information. But this was not the case with Peg's discovery, "Blood is one thing, do you think the ground is being raised here?"

Elevated?Garron withdrew her whip and stood still, trying to feel the anomaly that Peg had spoken. But in the dim environment, she couldn't completely get out of the fight and focus on her feet, even if it was only a short pause, the krakens had already rushed up! Galen had to strike again, "They want to exhaust us!" Her thinking was right, although it was more difficult to die of exhaustion, but the hunter did intend to weaken the witch's physical strength and energy, even magic, it could not guarantee its effectiveness when she was exhausted.

However, the witches soon did not have to worry about their physical strength, because a strong vibration suddenly rose from under their feet, forcing everyone to bend down and keep their balance. "What's going on?" the witch and the kraken both asked. Soon, the Kraken with the torch in hand and Peg, who had noticed the strange thing earlier, found the key to the shock, and they found that a sand dune had risen under the serpent at some point, and in this tremor, the sand on the dune was removed, revealing a huge, dry palm below!

"No!" Fettis, the owner of the serpent, sensed the purpose of his palm and let out a sound of despair. But she couldn't do anything, she could only watch, watching the giant snake she had domesticated for many years being grabbed by this big hand, and it was difficult to break free no matter how hard it struggled.
