'I need to sacrifice some of them to gain the upper hand,' Noah thought as he watched Snore's dark beam engulfing the cultivator and creating a hole in the ground underneath.
That attack alarmed all the existences inside the cave. The other six cultivators and the magical beasts in the lair converged toward the dark beam when they sensed that surge of energy.
Screeches and tremors filled the cave as the magical beasts left the depths to reach Noah's position. The cultivators were closer to that area, so they managed to see the massive snake closing its mouth and diving deeper into the lair.
Noah had no intention to face the cultivators head-on. He would rather pretend to be a giant snake and observe their fights to see if he could understand something about their origin.
