Xu Tao floated in the middle of the cavern.
All around him, literally in all directions, snakes swarmed, trying to catch and eat him. But Xu Tao wasn't going to let that happen again.
"I just need five meters of distance... and ten seconds of silence...!"
It might sound like an insignificant amount of time, but with hundreds of level 300 snakes around him, nothing could get closer to being unattainable.
"Come out!"
Xu Tao shouted, moving multiple swords out of his Storage Ring. They were all good swords by certain standards, but nothing that matched the one he had in hand.
Using plain sword manipulation, he used these dozens of swords as a barrier roughly six meters in radius around him... A sword formation that let no enemy approach.
Snakes who got close ended up having their scales scratched or peeled, and ultimately, injured. But the snakes didn't seem to fear it, trying to close the distance despite that.
"Tsk!"
