No wonder Shangguan Shen laughed so exaggeratedly. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge would never attempt to burrow into the body of an ancient beast like the Xuan Snake. Such an act would be tantamount to suicide.
Not only was Shangguan Shen laughing heartily, but even Mao Ri Xingjun himself looked solemn—he also couldn't understand why Lin Fei would do something so irrational.
It should be noted that although the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle are powerful in their physical forms, if they were to confront each other head-on, at least the Sun God could buy Lin Fei time to escape unscathed.
But now, Lin Fei is already inside the belly of the Xuan Snake, and even if he wanted to escape, he has no chance at all.
"Mao Ri, how about we..." the Day Wanderer whispered. He was already wavering, and now that he saw Lin Fei was actually throwing his life away, he didn't want to be buried with Lin Fei.
Before Riyou could finish recounting the myth, Mao Ri Xingjun glared at him coldly: "Riyou, if you still want to be a fence-sitter, don't blame me for being ruthless and dealing with you first! Since the lord dares to do this, he must have his reasons. We'll just have to watch!"
Although the Day Wanderer God was protected by his divine position and his realm was even higher than that of the current Rabbit Sun Star Lord, he was no match for the Rabbit Sun Star Lord if they really fought. Seeing the Rabbit Sun Star Lord's expression, he dared not speak any further and had to swallow his words.
……
Lin Fei then deliberately flew into the mouth of the Xuan Snake and was swallowed whole. This was not because he was courting death, but rather a plan he had discussed with the spirit of the Xuan Snake.
For anyone else, willingly entering the body of an ancient beast like the Xuan Snake would be tantamount to suicide, but Lin Fei was different. He was the only being in the world possessing the intelligence of the Xuan Snake.
If he were to fight head-on against the powerful Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle, he would naturally have little chance of winning. Therefore, he and the Xuan Snake Spirit devised a plan: to directly enter the body of the main body and then let the Xuan Snake Spirit regain control of the main body.
This method, though somewhat risky, is undoubtedly the one with the best chance of success. It's far better than directly confronting the powerful Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle in its true form. In a direct confrontation, the best outcome would be a safe retreat; victory would be virtually impossible.
After all, the difference between a celestial being and a Dharma body is simply too great. Even if Lin Fei used all his trump cards, he still wouldn't have much confidence in winning.
Even Lin Fei himself wasn't sure if this approach would succeed. After all, the Xuan Snake's spirit was merely a fragment of its sentience, and taking control of the entire body would indeed be quite difficult.
If he fails, Lin Fei will have truly put himself in a dead end, and getting out will probably not be so easy.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the body of the Xuan Snake, Lin Fei immediately transmitted his voice to the spirit of the Xuan Snake and said, "How do you think you are, senior, to regain control of the body?"
The spirit of the Xuan Snake replied, "If my original body still possessed its own intelligence, I naturally wouldn't be very confident. However, now that my original body's intelligence has been erased, I am the only one left in the world with an intelligence that can perfectly match this Xuan Snake's body. Although the other party used some unknown means to control my original body, since it has already entered my body, I can infiltrate my intelligence into it."
The black serpent pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm at least 60% confident!"
A 60% chance of success is enough; it's at least higher than my chance of defeating the Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle head-on, so it's definitely worth the gamble.
Lin Fei said, "Then I'll leave everything to you, senior!"
Upon arriving at this place, Lin Fei was unable to use any of his skills and could only rely on the spirit of the Xuan Snake.
"Rest assured, I am an ancient and extraordinary creature, a divine beast under the command of the True Martial Emperor. How could my body be so easily controlled by others?" The spirit of the Xuan Snake responded, already prepared to fight to the death. After all, although it was only a wisp of its divine soul, how could it stand by and watch its true body be controlled by others?
……
Meanwhile, outside the Xuan Snake's body, no one knew what was happening inside. Shangguan Shen laughed smugly, "Mao Ri, Ri You, now that the person you served has perished in this strange beast's belly, do you still want to put up a futile resistance?"
The Sun God had long intended to surrender, but the Rabbit Sun Star Lord coldly replied, "Shangguan, we've known each other for quite some time. I, the Rabbit Sun Star Lord, am not the kind of person who goes back on his word."
Shangguan Shen sighed: "Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to deal with you myself. With that person's abilities, he might be able to bring you back to life, and then perhaps we can truly cooperate."
As soon as Shangguan Shenhua finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from inside the Xuan Snake's body: "Oh? Is the 'that person' you mentioned the one who manipulated this cycle of reincarnation and bribed you two? I'm quite curious, just who is that person?"
Upon hearing this voice, Mao Ri Xingjun, who had been in despair, instantly showed an expression of immense joy, because he was all too familiar with the voice—it was Lin Fei's voice.
Everyone thought Lin Fei had perished in the belly of the giant beast, but unexpectedly, it seems that the situation is not so.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Shangguan Shen was even more astonished upon hearing Lin Fei's voice: "How could you still be alive?"
Lin Fei coldly laughed, "Want me dead? I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
As he spoke, the black serpent beneath Shangguan Shen's feet suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, and a glint of light flashed in its eyes. It seemed as if it was trying to break free from Shangguan Shen's control.
This time, Shangguan Shen was even more astonished, with a hint of fear in his astonishment. He exclaimed, "This is impossible! This guy's mind has been erased by that lord! How could you, a mere brat, possibly be wrong about that lord's methods!"
This time, the one who answered Shangguan Shen was not Lin Fei, but the Xuan Snake itself, which was standing at Shangguan Shen's feet.
A wise light gleamed in the eyes of the Xuan Snake's true form, proving that this body was no longer a puppet to be manipulated, but had acquired its own consciousness. The Xuan Snake's true form said in a muffled voice, "I do not know who you speak of. However, I am a mythical beast under the command of the True Martial Emperor, accompanying him to subdue demons and monsters, sweeping across the universe. How could I be so easily controlled by others?"
With that, the black serpent violently shook its head, throwing Shangguan Shen off its head. Then, it opened its mouth wide and bit down on Shangguan Shen, uttering an extremely angry sound: "How dare you try to use me as a tool, you cowardly scoundrel, die!"
