The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1814

Surrounded by large level 89 snakes, Minos' group immediately began fighting in the green area, defending themselves, dodging, or attacking these creatures.

Snakes were treacherous creatures with great flexibility, hard-to-counter poison abilities, and high speed.

When the first two of them fell under the attacks of Minos and the weakest Demigod in the area, the others became much more cautious and changed their strategy.

They moved away from the humans and then opened their huge mouths at them.

An instant after they all did the same, their poison spewed out of their mouths. It evaporated into the air immediately after leaving their bodies.

Seeing this, Forrest sensed the danger of this move and shouted, "Do not breathe the air of this place, or you will be poisoned!"

Minos saw this and immediately used his innate ability to steal the cultivation of the hybrid from his group to increase his own strength.

He couldn't steal the cultivation base of a level 89 unless that being decided to lend their strength to Minos.

Then, Minos did not stop using his innate ability. At level 84, he quickly started stealing the cultivation bases of those snakes to strengthen the weaker ones in his group.

All those low-level Spiritual Sages immediately felt their strength increase while the snakes there became weaker.

When Harold and Isabella felt their cultivation jump to the peak of level 82, they looked at each other and nodded.

In the next instant, they both activated one of the two Golden-grade techniques of the Edwardstone Family.

They both stood with their upper bodies leaning forward before opening their mouths and letting out their breath.

Red flames shot out of their mouths, burning everything in their path.

But the amount of poison released by those snakes was more than those two could burn.

"Nice try, humans! But you will die here!" One of the snakes that were least affected by Minos' ability screamed as its poison became even more intense inside the chamber.

Minos circulated his energy through the Devouring Art, and several black rings appeared in the air around those creatures, as well as in the air itself.

Chaotic Gravity!

Feeling the spiritual energy of those opponents coming under his control, Minos pressed against those beings, making them all feel their bodies being crushed from all directions.

"Before we die, you will all die, you filthy beasts!" He said as he crushed the weakest creature, causing an explosion of flesh to appear there, scattering the remains all around.

As Gloria felt the effects of the poison rush through her body, she felt like she was going to pass out, but then Abby touched one of her shoulders, her hand glowing in blue.

A bright blue mist escaped from Abby's body and hit the weaker ones there, counteracting the effects of the poison and keeping everyone in the camera conscious.

Unfortunately, her ability couldn't solve the problem in these people's bodies. She could only keep them awake without feeling any pain.

But while Minos was killing several of those creatures, Ruth, the only one of the weaker ones there who did not feel sick from the enemy poison, did something strange.

She picked up a flimsy glass and a dagger and then cut her own wrist.

"What?" One of the Sages in Forrest's group shouted, not understanding what this black-haired woman wanted.

But then she screamed. "Quick, drink my blood! I am immune to this poison!"

Ruth had an innate ability that usually did not have much effect on other people because it was related to the regeneration of her own body.

When she came under the effects of those snakes' venom, she felt the effects of the poisoning for a moment, but then her ability kicked in, and she soon felt fine again.

In a single moment, her body had produced what she needed to neutralize the venom of those snakes!

Knowing how their harem sister's ability worked, Abby and Gloria were the first to move, accepting Ruth's blood without hesitation.

"Wretch!" One of the still-living snakes said, lamenting its enemy's resilience.

Forrest looked at the stronger enemy's reaction and moved, confident that the whole group would be fine even if they eliminated all these snakes.

With no reason to keep some of them alive, he jumped at the ones Minos hadn't killed yet and crushed them with his feet!

The other Demigod joined him and Minos, eliminating the last snakes in the area.

At the same time, Abby and Gloria sat down to meditate.

Drinking Ruth's blood would not solve their situation immediately. They needed to meditate and process what was in the black-haired woman's blood.

Harold and Isabella drank from Ruth's blood long after this woman began to breathe heavily.

In the blink of an eye, she had drained more than a quart of her blood for the group to drink and recover from the poison.

Even the strongest of them, like Minos and the other Sages, was still threatened by these poisons. The only ones who were not threatened were the two Demigods, whose bodies were much stronger and more resistant than the power of those snakes.

When she was about to faint from losing so much blood, Minos appeared beside her and stopped her from falling.

"Meditate a little and let your ability regenerate the lost blood, Ruth. I and the others are tougher than you, so we can hold out for a few minutes." He said in her ear.

Ruth was worried, of course, but since she had no choice but to give her body time to recover, she took Minos' advice and sat down in a lotus position.

Minos saw this and told Forrest. "Secure the area. I'll gather the herbs while Ruth meditates."

The two Demigods kept their soul projections on after hearing this. They watched the surroundings while Minos quickly did the harvesting there.

But then he found a fruit somewhat different from the herbs his group was interested in, something charged with negative laws.

'This... Is that why there were so many snakes here?' Minos stopped in front of a purple fruit near where the body of the first snake he had killed lay.

Noticing its purity, he picked it and ate it without hesitation, feeling that he could recover from these creatures' poison without drinking his wife's blood.

Having done so, Minos immediately gave the herbs to Harold and Isabella before sitting down in a meditative posture and beginning to circulate his Solar God Breath technique.
