#521 - Chapter 521: Dangers All Around

He was always the one attacking others, but no one dared to attack him.

The giant python felt its dignity challenged like never before.

Immediately, it flicked its body, instantly becoming dozens of times larger than before, staring intently at the few people who were like sesame seeds in its eyes.

At this moment, the giant python in Ji Changsheng and the others' eyes was no longer just a giant python.

But a moving, venom-spraying Mount Tai that could kill them at any moment.

However, Ji Changsheng and the others showed no fear. What was there to fear? They were the most powerful cubs of逍遥 Peak.

The giant python thought its move would directly scare these foolish humans into kneeling and begging for mercy.

It didn't expect that all it saw when it lowered its head was disdainful gazes.

It was instantly enraged.

How could it, the dignified Serpent Emperor, be afraid of a few petty humans?

The Serpent Emperor's rage shook the world.

The Serpent Emperor smiled slyly and suddenly turned around.

This turn of his had a name: "Mount Tai Overwhelming".

Don't underestimate this small turn. The moment he turned, the entire ancient ruins trembled.

Countless cracks instantly appeared in the ground, and green, foul-smelling water surged from the cracks.

An indescribable stench instantly pressed down.

Ji Changsheng, Wang Xuan, and Ye Xiaoyao's faces turned pale from the sudden stench.

"We weren't killed by the giant python, but we're going to be熏 to death by this stench first."

This was the almost unanimous thought of everyone.

"Xiaoxiao!"

Ye Xiaoyao took out a handkerchief, about to cover his nose and mouth, when he was startled by Ji Changsheng's loud shout.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?" Ye Xiaoyao said unhappily.

Ji Changsheng didn't speak, nodding his head to signal him to look at his feet.

When Ye Xiaoyao saw it, his scalp instantly went numb, and his clothes were soaked through in that instant.

The foul-smelling green water under their feet rapidly mutated and grew upon contact with the air.

In less than a breath, it had transformed into countless small snakes as thick as fingers, and they were still growing wildly.

In an instant, everywhere they looked was filled with densely packed small snakes.

"Hahaha, foolish humans, surrender! You are always so stupid!"

The giant python's pupils, as large as the sun and moon, captured the fear in everyone's eyes and burst into laughter.

The three of them could no longer endure it.

Did this hairless beast think it could ride on their heads and act wildly?

Did it take them for sick cats and start bullying them?

The suppressed anger surged like a flood, and the blood in their bones surged and roared.

One cannot fall into decline in failure, but one can live forever on the path of upward progress!

At this moment, the three were extremely angry and extremely fortunate.

They wanted this giant python to die, not themselves!

As their belief solidified, a miracle happened.

The spiritual power that had been suppressed since they entered the ancient ruins was now slowly returning.

Sensing the return of spiritual power in their bodies, Ji Changsheng and the other two hurriedly clenched their teeth, using the blood in their veins to冲击 the dantian that was still sealed by an unknown force.

Cold sweat flowed down their faces in layers.

Intense pain spread throughout their bodies.

Their eyes changed, coldly, as if from the extreme darkness where彼岸 flowers bloomed.

"Beast, die!"

Wang Xuan held the divine sword, and golden light shone brightly on the sword.

With one sword, he pierced the giant python's incomparably huge body, and then, the divine sword's holy fire directly burned its heart.

"Why? This is impossible!"

At the last moment of its death, the giant python was still in disbelief.

It couldn't believe that it had been so easily defeated.

It couldn't believe that it had been defeated by humans who were so much weaker than it.

It couldn't believe that it had encountered true death in such a short time after coming out.

But it was too late to say anything.

The giant python's huge pupils widened, and it fell from a high place into the dust, falling into pieces and being ignited by the wind.

In just a moment, the small snakes also disappeared with the death of the giant python.

The earth regained its calm, and the surroundings were still the same as before.

Wang Xuan put down his sword-wielding posture and sighed slightly, "I thought there would be treasures on such a big giant python, but there was nothing."

Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Junior Brother, I also feel like I had a dream."

Ye Xiaoyao stepped forward and said, "This is neither a dream nor real."

Seeing the two curious, Ye Xiaoyao continued, "What we just saw was all transformed from the lingering thoughts in this ancient ruins."

"If we win, there will be nothing in the real world. Because they originally only existed in thoughts."

"But if we lose, we will truly experience the pain of being killed and tortured, and we will also die."

Ji Changsheng said upon hearing this, "Then this lingering thought is so terrible."

Ye Xiaoyao said, "The lingering thoughts in the ancient ruins are not so easy to deal with. Now, are we going out?"

Ji Changsheng hurriedly said upon hearing this, "Of course we're not going out. We almost died choosing this path, how could we go out now?"

Wang Xuan also said, "Senior Brother, so-called high risk, high reward. The most dangerous place may be where the treasure is located."

Ye Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That's what I mean too, let's continue."

The three simply tidied up the clothes they had accidentally torn and continued forward.

But the road ahead was not as dark as before, although there was no greenery, it was much better than the road they had just entered.

The three walked until a low bridge blocked their path.

Ji Changsheng asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, what does this mean? Why is there a bridge, but there's no water here?"

Ye Xiaoyao didn't say a word, but quickly walked a few steps and摸索ed up and down the railing of the small bridge.

Wang Xuan guarded the small bridge as if he had a tacit understanding, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

"Found it~~"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Ye Xiaoyao finally took out a spiritual pearl from the railing of the bridge.

Seeing that the spiritual pearl Ye Xiaoyao took out was not as good as the one in逍遥 Peak, Ji Changsheng immediately laughed and said, "Senior Brother, what are you doing so much effort for, looking for a spiritual pearl?"

Ye Xiaoyao smiled and said, "You don't understand, this is the法珠 of the giant python just now. All its magic power and soul power are凝结 in this pearl."

"In the future, it may be of great use to us."

Ji Changsheng felt more and more confused: "But Senior Brother, didn't you say that the giant python just now was transformed from lingering thoughts? How can there be a法珠?"

"Moreover, even if there is a法珠, it couldn't possibly be in such a distant place, right?"

Ye Xiaoyao was about to answer.

Suddenly, a great force pushed away him and Ji Changsheng.

"Be careful!" Wang Xuan pointed behind them, looking worried.
