"Are rank-seven Ferals that powerful?"
Jiang He appeared thoughtful, his gaze running back and forth over Duan Tianhe's body. If rank-seven Ferals were equal to rank-seven grandmasters, wouldn't he understand the gap if he sparred with Duan Tianhe?
Duan Tianhe scowled. What was the brat thinking?
Scowling, he walked around the foot of the mountain again before whipping out his phone to call Yuzhen to ask about the situation. After a dozen minutes of chatting, he reported to his superiors.
By the time he was done, Jiang He was gone.
"Where's Jiang He?"
Duan Tianhe's heart skipped a beat. Pudgy Jiang's subordinate, All-Seeing Eye, answered loudly, "Are you looking for Jiang He, Chief Duan? He went over there. "
He pointed to the east, where the Ningdong Mines was dozens of miles away, and the rank-seven Leopard Python lived at the edge of the mines.
"What the hell …"
Duan Tianhe gave himself a slap and said regretfully, "Did I have a f * cking loose tongue? Why did I tell him these things?"
Puzzled, All-Seeing Eye asked, "Why did you slap yourself, Chief Duan?"
His voice was very loud.
It was as if he was' shouting 'it.
As soon as he shouted, everyone's gazes immediately turned to him.
Speechless, Duan Tianhe then asked, "When did he leave?"
"I didn't eat anything."
"I'm asking you, when did he leave?!" Duan Tianhe raised his voice by several decibels, and only then did All-Seeing Eye say, "Oh, oh. He must have been gone for twenty minutes."
Ignoring everything else, Duan Tianhe turned and dashed into the distance. Still, before he reached the top of the opposite mountain, his eyes narrowed and he looked southeast.
An exceedingly cold aura was rapidly approaching from that direction. The Tranquil Heavenly General had turned back after failing in his ambush on Duan Tianhe.
… …
"Leopard Python … Leopard Python?"
"Where is it?"
Jiang He darted all the way, casting Blind Princess's Eight Practices to its limit, and soon arrived at the edge of the Ningdong Mines.
Standing atop a mountain and looking out, he could vaguely see the silhouettes of buildings a dozen miles away.
There were over a dozen coal mines and chemical factories in the Ningdong Mines, but they were now abandoned and uninhabited. Jiang He's eyes lit up as he searched the vicinity, and with a few leaps, he landed beside a small ravine.
The ravine was shallow and winding.
Jiang He stared closely, and could not help getting an idea. "No, this isn't a ravine, but a trail left behind by the python!"
There were no rocks on the surface of the mountains on the Loess Plateau. It was a thick layer of loose soil.
It was not an exaggeration to leave a ravine behind as the python crawled.
Jiang He advanced along the winding ravine, stopping after around five kilometers.
The ravine disappeared.
His ears twitched, and he caught a rustling sound in the night wind.
He raised his head and looked ahead. The terrain in front of him was very strange. A few hills were connected together, forming a small valley.
The rustling sound came from within the valley.
At first, the rustling sound was sparse and sporadic, but it grew louder in mere moments. Many massive pythons were slithering rapidly around the valley, their scarlet tongues slowly flicking as they surrounded Jiang He.
The smallest of these pythons were three to four meters long, while the larger ones were more than ten meters long. Their huge heads were like a tricycle, and there were even some pythons whose upper bodies were taller than two-story buildings when they stood up.
"So many pythons?"
Jiang He promptly retreated, his hand flashing in golden light as he cut one of the pythons lunging at him in two.
And yet, even more pythons lunged at him in the next split second. Jiang He cast Blind Princess's Eight Practices and slithered among them, his golden cleaver cutting down a python with each swing.
"What a shame!"
"I don't know any blade techniques, which is why my speed in cutting down the pythons is limited … and this cleaver is awesome, but it's too small. It would have been faster if it was a machete."
Jiang He then made up his mind that he would get someone to forge a fearsome and domineering combat blade and plant it.
Moreover, he would plant a blade technique that was more domineering. It would be best if it was a slash that was a dozen or dozens of meters long, and it would be accompanied by some phenomenon of fire or thunder. It would definitely look cool just by imagining it!
After he killed over twenty pythons in a row, a loud rumble echoed, followed by a dull rumble that resembled a dragon's roar.
Rustle …
The pythons that were attacking Jiang He promptly retreated, all of them lowering their heads toward the valley as if worshipping it.
It was as if a small hill was slowly rising from the valley.
As Jiang He charged his Strengthened Nine Yang Technique, a great sun rose behind him, illuminating his surroundings. With the sun's faint luster and night vision, he could not help inhaling sharply.
"Hiss!"
"What a huge python!"
The slowly rising 'hill' was not really a hill, but the python's head.
Its head was larger than a car, and its upper body was over twenty meters long when it stood up. The aura its body was exuding left Jiang He's heart palpitating.
"A rank-seven Feral is truly extraordinary … it's too unrealistic for me to kill it. Still, I only need fifty kilograms of rank-seven Feral meat, and I don't have to fight it to the death."
Roar!
The python abruptly opened its maw, and a foul wind wafted out of its mouth, leaving Jiang He's clothes flapping.
Jiang He almost threw up!
That breath …
It was so big that it was basically a biological weapon. Soon, his face dropped. "Oh no, that foul wind is poisonous … Eh? Is it alright? "
But just as the thought of being poisoned came to him, he did not feel much of it in the next instant. The Strengthened Nine Yang Technique was simply too powerful when it came to dispelling poison. Still, just in case, Jiang He took out the remaining half of the carrot and cucumber he had eaten before.
Crunch, crunch. He took a few bites.
Unexpectedly, the giant serpent did not immediately attack.
A rank-seven Feral would not lose out to an adult in intelligence, and it could sense a dangerous aura from Jiang He's body.
It bellowed a few times, its forked tongue flicking and its fangs glinting faintly … and then, a voice rang beside Jiang He's ears.
"How dare you, human! How dare you slay this king's progeny?"
"…"
Jiang He even forgot to eat his cucumber.
What was going on?
A rank-seven Feral could actually use acoustics like a rank-seven martial artist?
No, unlike humans, Ferals could not cultivate True Qi … so how did it use Secret Acoustics?
"I should learn more about Ferals when I get back. I'm just a martial arts newbie and can't be a slacker all day, and I have to learn and improve myself …" Jiang He offered the Leopard Python a fist-palm salute as the thought crossed his mind, saying, "Bro Snake, I have no intention of offending you … I just wanted to ask you for two or three hundred catties of snake meat. Two or three hundred catties is peanuts to you, considering how big you are."
As he spoke, he studied the Leopard Python and finally understood why it was called the Leopard Python.
Its skin was very similar to the leopard's clothes.
"You have a death wish!"
Roar!
The python bellowed, completely infuriated!
Its bellow kicked up a gale several kilometers away, and soon, there was a rumble as a tail descended from the skies.
Cursing inwardly, Jiang He's figure blurred as he dodged, only to find that the spot where he had been standing instantly blew up, a deep ravine left behind by the python's gigantic tail.
Jiang He's expression darkened, and he seethed through clenched teeth, "You're too unreasonable, python!"
"I've only killed dozens of your progeny, and I would at most ask for a few hundred catties of snake stew … it's just meat, and you're trying to kill me … What the hell!"
Even before he finished, the python's gigantic tail swung down at his head again.
If it landed, it would blow up a hill, let alone Jiang He's body of flesh.
Still, Jiang He did not dodge.
With a thought …
Ooom!
The luminous sword in his mind moved.
