I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Ten Thousand Serpents Paying Homage

”We’re doomed.”

”The Yexieqi Snake Race hatchlings have been hatched!”

As soon as Xiao Ya finished speaking, more and more eggshells broke, and gray-black snake hatchlings fell down like raining.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was ”covered” with Yexieqi hatchlings!

Although the Yexieqi hatchlings have only Tier One strength, their sheer quantity is far beyond what Xiao Ya and his team can handle.

Not only that, these Yexieqi hatchlings rushed towards them as soon as they were born.

Seeing the overwhelming Yexieqi hatchlings,

Xiao Ya felt his heart grow cold, regretting why he rushed into the mech at the start, missing the best chance to destroy the snake’s nest.

He didn’t blame Han Zhan, after all, Han Zhan saved his life.

It’s just a pity that this noble young man with a good character will meet his end with him in the serpent’s belly.

Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian looked solemn, as Combat Spirit Contract Masters, fighting to the last moment was their mission.

The two exchanged a glance, Xi Xiaoqian instantly transformed into a person-high Horse-Cutting Saber, Cai Shifang gripped the handle, ready to face death.

Han Zhan watched the gray-black ”tide” rushing in from all directions, about to engulf them in the next moment.

Suddenly, at this moment,

the Yexieqi hatchlings that were rushing over seemed to feel something and all crawled to the ground.

As if triggering a chain reaction, the surrounding Yexieqi hatchlings that were still rushing, stiffened straight, their snake heads tightly pressed to the ground, displaying a posture of ”submission.”

”This...”

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Ya was stunned, Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian were also stunned.

None of them knew what was happening.

Only Han Zhan lightly rubbed the black ring on his hand.

The Yexieqi hatchlings, not yet developed much wisdom, clearly sensed the Tier Nine Insect Emperor’s aura from the black ring, making them instinctively ”bow their heads in submission.”

But this scene was more spectacular than expected.

Ten thousand snakes bow to the emperor?

No, hundreds of millions of snakes bow to the emperor!

Han Zhan noticed the dumbfounded Xiao Ya and reminded, ”Why are you still standing there? Burn them!”

Though the snake’s nest couldn’t be destroyed in time, these Yexieqi hatchlings haven’t fully matured yet; if not burned now, when else?

Prompted by Han Zhan, Xiao Ya finally reacted.

Without a word, he detached two Flame Burning Spears and tossed them to Han Zhan and Cai Shifang.

Then he reactivated the mech weapon system, his arms transforming into two dark flamethrowers.

Burn!

No further orders were needed; everyone immediately pulled the switch, and scorching flames fell upon the Yexieqi hatchlings!

Snakes prefer dark and damp places, fearing fire; burned by the flames, the Yexieqi hatchlings twisted and coiled painfully until they turned into shriveled snake jerky!

Yet, even so, they still lay motionlessly on the ground.

This is the value of the Tier Nine Insect Emperor.

Initially worried, Xiao Ya and the others quickly gained confidence upon seeing the Yexieqi hatchlings remain motionless.

Continuous flames and burning, the air filled with the scent of scorched fire and a hint of snake meat aroma.

This burning lasted for over an hour.

It took much effort to finally clean up the thousands of meters of snake slough.

Xiao Ya released the mech armament, transforming into a silver elixir orb form, and retrieved it.

Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian also wiped the sweat off their foreheads; the task was undeniably massive.

But at this moment, their eyes immediately focused on Han Zhan at the back of the group.

”Who exactly are you?” Despite being slow, Xiao Ya realized that Han Zhan could not be an unknown figure.

Leaving aside the fact that a Tier Three Spirit Contract Master could lift battle mechs single-handedly, it was impossible for ordinary talent alone to achieve such feats.

Moreover, the scene where countless hatchlings submitted, even recalling now evokes deep shock!

Xiao Ya has fought on the frontline for over five years.

During these five years, he has witnessed various grand scenes and seen many powerful human Spirit Contract Masters in action.

He is convinced that Han Zhan’s method of making millions of hatchlings submit is in no way inferior to theirs!

”Like you saw, I’m really just a Tier Three Spirit Contract Master.” Facing Xiao Ya’s questioning, Han Zhan helplessly spread his hands.

”I’m really not some powerhouse with hidden strength; if I were, would the First War Zone allow me to slack around like this? Wouldn’t they have already dragged me to the frontline to confront those High Tier Yexieqi Snake Race?”

Han Zhan’s words made sense.

But after this incident, Xiao Ya and his team’s attitude towards Han Zhan changed drastically.

Even if Han Zhan wasn’t some powerhouse with hidden strength, he undoubtedly had many secrets!

Xiao Ya reported the mission completion status to the task center of the Unified Command via communicator.

After finishing the call, his face did not show the expected joy.

”The extinction mission results are very unsatisfactory.”

”Including our team, only less than ten teams completed it.”

Hearing Xiao Ya’s words, Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian’s faces also turned grim.

Failure means the pressure on the frontline will increase sharply, and as humans, this is not the situation they wish to see.

”Perhaps, we can conduct an ’interception’!” Xiao Ya suddenly thought of a solution and looked at Han Zhan with bright eyes.

”The known reinforcement points for the Yexieqi Snake Race are marked on the operation map. Those newly hatched hatchlings have several mandatory paths to join the battlefield successfully!”

”Han Zhan, you possess the magical ability to make millions of snake races submit. As long as we hold the mandatory paths, we can wipe them out in advance!”

Xiao Ya’s words made Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian’s eyes light up.

Indeed,

Others might not manage, but Han Zhan certainly can!

They just witnessed Han Zhan’s magical means earlier and were now full of confidence in him.

Han Zhan looked at the trio, just about to say something but suddenly furrowed his brow sharply and stood up.

”I don’t know if we can wipe out these Yexieqi hatchlings, but I’m sure that if we don’t leave now, soon, the four of us will be wiped out.”

”You seem to have forgotten how this snake slough came about.”

How did the snake slough come about? The group was puzzled.

It was shed after the Yexieqi Snake Race advanced.

Where did the advanced, Yexieqi Snake Race go after shedding their skin?

Upon thinking of this question, above their heads appeared two eyes larger and rounder than the moon, featuring orange vertical pupils.

Tier Five, Yexieqi Snake, guardian of the snake’s nest!
