The Mercury Python was a snake-shaped astral beast. However, its body shape was different from a snake's. It had two fin-like forelimbs, and the middle of its body was flat, like a flattened spindle. This creature was extremely nimble in the water, and its speed was frighteningly fast. If Lei Xingfeng hadn't been sprinting and distancing himself from the Mercury Python, the Mercury Python would have needed some time to catch up.
Lei Xingfeng was in a hurry to find a large rocky area. Even if he couldn't reach the cliff, he had to find the rocky area first.
When fighting against the Mercury Python in the water, it was already considered impressive if one could use 50% of one's strength. There was already a slight difference between their strength and the Mercury Python's. However, in the water, even Lei Xingfeng and Ai Yao couldn't fight against the Mercury Python.
Ai Yao couldn't swim, so she couldn't use her full strength.
Lei Xingfeng had already found a large rocky area. It was just that it was a bit far away from the cliff. He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately headed towards the rocky area.
Soon, the water rose to Lei Xingfeng's neck, forcing him to start swimming. This actually increased his speed.
Ai Yao was no longer in Lei Xingfeng's hands. Instead, she was bitten in his mouth. The mouth of his real body was actually a pit. It wasn't a real mouth.
The real body didn't need to breathe. Once Lei Xingfeng started swimming, his speed instantly increased. Although he couldn't match the Mercury Python's speed, he was confident that the Mercury Python wouldn't catch up to him before he reached the rocky area.
The Mercury Python behind him could be seen clearly. Lei Xingfeng also climbed up the rocky area. This rocky area was quite high, so Lei Xingfeng needed to climb up.
He opened his mouth and spat. Pui! Ai Yao fell down. Before he landed, he had already released his real body. He stood on the ground and said, "Brat, how can you spit me out like this?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "What's there to complain about? You're a six-ringed expert, yet you're shameless enough to let a four-ringed brat like me protect you!"
Ai Yao was speechless. That was true, but the process had nothing to do with strength. He couldn't swim and couldn't run fast, but everyone was the same. Which Sixth Ring True Body cultivator could run faster than him?
Only a freak like Lei Xingfeng knew how to swim and knew how to use restrictions. What puzzled Ai Yao the most was that he could run much faster than her. This was too f * cking infuriating!
The two of them did not dare to stop at the edge of the rocky area. Instead, they ran towards the center of the rocky area.
As long as there was no water around, the Aqua Python would not be able to unleash its full strength. Only then would they be able to gain the upper hand in the battle. Lei Xingfeng was clear about this, and so was Ai Yao.
The rocky area was not made up of complete rocks. Instead, countless rocks were piled up on the ground in a crisscrossing pattern.
The ground was also filled with gullies, and streams of water flowed through the cracks between the rocks. The environment was rather vile, but Lei Xingfeng and Ai Yao were very satisfied. At least they could step on solid ground. Even if they had to fight, they were confident.
The two of them retreated to the center of the rocky area. Ai Yao asked, "How do we fight?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "Let's figure out the Aqua Python's strength first, then we'll think about other things."
If they could combine their strength and kill the Aqua Python, then there would be no problem. If they couldn't defeat the Aqua Python, then they would have to think of other ways.
The rocky area was not very big. It was only three or four square kilometers, but it was enough to lure the Aqua Python onto the shore. This Aqua Python was not a real Astral Beast, but a creature created by restrictions. Its mission was to kill Lei Xingfeng and Ai Yao. Hence, it did not delay and directly climbed onto the rocky area from the water.
Lei Xingfeng was instantly delighted. He said, "Very good! A simple-minded creature is always easier to deal with than one with intelligence. "
Ai Yao did not understand. He asked, "What do you mean simple-minded?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "If you were that Aqua Python, would you climb up?"
Ai Yao said, "Of course not. I'll wait for you in the water. You're the ones who are anxious. I'm not."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "But it climbed up!"
Ai Yao looked at the Aqua Python clumsily climbing up the rocks and said, "It seems to be a little simple-minded!"
When the Aqua Python climbed onto the rocks, Lei Xingfeng and Ai Yao both had a headache. This thing was not easy to deal with. It was too big. If they were in the water, Lei Xingfeng felt that he would immediately activate the Mirror Realm and escape.
There was a big difference between a Astral Beast created by restrictions and a real Astral Beast. Astral Beasts did not have many weaknesses. For example, Lei Xingfeng liked to break the necks of Astral Beasts. However, a Aqua Python created by restrictions did not have this weakness. Even if you broke its neck, it would quickly recover.
This thing had to be destroyed. This meant that your attack would instantly exceed its defense. Once it was destroyed, it would not be able to recover unless another one was created.
Ai Yao looked at the huge Aqua Python and said, "How do we fight it?"
Lei Xingfeng also had a headache. He also did not know how powerful this thing was. He said, "You try first … I'll support you from the side."
Ai Yao was not confident. He said, "Why should I try?"
Lei Xingfeng said in annoyance, "Hey, Old Ai, are you crazy again? You're a Six-Ringed expert. Are you going to let me, a Four-Ringed True Ring expert, go?"
Ai Yao said, "Your Four-Ringed True Ring is much stronger than my Six-Ringed True Ring …"
Lei Xingfeng said, "Don't talk nonsense. Let's fight it!"
Ai Yao knew that he could only do it himself. After all, he was stronger than Lei Xingfeng. This was hard power.
The Aqua Python swam up on the surface of the rock, but its movements were obviously much clumsier. It was not as agile as it was in the water.
The Aqua Python's attacks were mainly about strangling. As long as one was entangled, if one was weaker than the Aqua Python, the Aqua Python's real body would explode.
This was the Aqua Python's most powerful attack. Its other attacks were very ordinary. For example, the whip of its tail, the ram of its huge head, or the bite … But after leaving the water, these attacks were not very powerful.
Ever since Ai Yao advanced to Six-Ringed True Ring, he had become very bold. But ever since he entered Nameless Peak, he became more and more timid. At this point, he was already very timid. When he fought, he did not have the courage.
He also knew that Lei Xingfeng was right. Of the two of them, only he could fight. There was no reason to let Lei Xingfeng go first. Hence, he charged towards the Aqua Python.
In an instant, the Aqua Python's head and a small part of its body stood up. This time, it was about the same height as Ai Yao. It let out a threatening growl and opened its mouth, revealing its dense set of teeth.
Lei Xingfeng observed from afar. He could not help but sigh. The Aqua Python formed by the restriction was really amazing. Even though he had never seen a Aqua Python before, he felt that this was how a real Aqua Python looked like.
Boom!
Ai Yao directly sent himself flying back. The Aqua Python's head shook rapidly. If not for its huge body, the Aqua Python would have been sent flying.
Lei Xingfeng was slightly shocked. He recognized that the Aqua Python's strength was comparable to Ai Yao's on land.
If they were in the water, Ai Yao would not be a match for the Aqua Python. In other words, the Aqua Python's strength in the water was comparable to a Seven-Ringed True Ring. Even if Ai Ye and Lei Xingfeng worked together, they would not be a match for it in the water.
Ai Yao's face turned pale. He was not stupid. He understood after the collision. If they were on the rocks, he might be able to survive. If they were in the water, he would be dead for sure.
Ai Yao did not go forward. Instead, he continued to retreat. Soon, he reached Lei Xingfeng's side. He said, "We have to work together!"
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Work together my ass. I can't even move its body. What's the difference between one more or one less?"
Ai Yao said anxiously, "But I can't deal with it alone. It's very, very strong."
Lei Xingfeng stared at the Aqua Python and said, "Nonsense! It's almost a Seven-Ringed True Ring. Of course it's very strong. But if it's on land, you should still be able to deal with it. "
Ai Yao said, "It's useless to deal with it. We have to kill it."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Can we kill it if we work together?"
Ai Yao said, "No!" He knew very well that they could not kill this Aqua Python if they worked together.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Then what's the use of me going up?"
Ai Yao said strangely, "But you can't let me fight alone!"
Lei Xingfeng said, "You can only fight alone. If I join you, you won't have any hope of escaping."
Ai Yao was not stupid. He understood that there was a hidden meaning in his words. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "You go up and deal with it first. I'll think of another way. Otherwise, we won't be able to escape."
Actually, he could escape. But at this point, he could not bear to do so.
Ai Yao said, "Okay, I'll go and deal with it. I hope you can find a solution quickly."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Go, I'll think of a way to escape together."
Ai Yao braced himself and rushed up again. This time, he collided with the python. Only by colliding would he have enough momentum to stop the Aqua Python from entangling him.
Boom!
The man and the python collided again. This time, Ai Yao was not sent flying. Instead, he retreated with big steps, leaving huge footprints on the hard rock.
Ai Yao said, "A Feng, give me your weapon!"
Lei Xingfeng raised his hand and threw out the steel rod. The huge steel rod made a humming sound. Ai Yao grabbed it. This time, he did not collide with the python. Instead, he held the thick steel rod and started smashing it at the Aqua Python.
This thick steel rod could prevent the Aqua Python from entangling his real body.
Lei Xingfeng quickly ran around the edge of the rock. He carefully observed the terrain.
Meanwhile, Ai Yao and the Aqua Python fought until water splashed everywhere. Loud explosions shook the ground!
