Zhou Heng entered the Nine Mystic Trial Tower the instant the black serpent's mouth was closing. With the attack speed of a Heaven-Opening Realm Demon Beast, what he did was indeed a huge risk. After all, this wasn't about dodging an attack by using the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, but intentionally slamming himself towards the serpent's open mouth.
If his reaction was even slightly slower, he would have been fatally pierced by the serpent's fangs. This black serpent emitted a peculiarly foul odor, which probably contained potent poison. As its realm increased, the toxin was likely of the Heaven-Opening Realm grade. If Zhou Heng were bitten, his frail body would likely dissolve into putrid liquid!
But he couldn't enter the pagoda too quickly either. Did he think this black serpent was stupid, that it would absentmindedly swallow a gust of air and shut its mouth too soon?
