Reeling from a concussion, Huai Shi crawled out of the pit. He shook his head and, as if nothing had happened, lifted the Giant Serpent and threw another punch at its belly. Another piece crumbled away.
In pain, the Giant Serpent's whining cries came to an abrupt halt, and a scream akin to a wailing shout rang out once again, piercingly shrill.
A dense cloud of poison burst forth from the wound, enshrouding the deep pit. Even Huai Shi felt a sharp sting in his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, which burned hotly.
More terrifying was the ensuing feeling of weakness and exhaustion.
He was poisoned! To think there were toxins that could still affect him now!
"Despicable, you actually poisoned me!" Huai Shi gasped heavily, inadvertently inhaling more poison gas.
