#307 - Chapter 307 Walking Dragon

The next day, the continuous heavy rain still hadn't stopped, but Cheng Feng couldn't care about that anymore.

Taking Su Qiang along, the three Bone Forging martial artists headed straight for Linshi Gorge.

When they were about three miles away from the gorge, they noticed that the lightning was becoming more frequent and the thunder was deafening. Under the illumination of the lightning, the gorge appeared even more eerie and terrifying.

From a distance, it looked like two upright fingers, ready to pinch the thunderclouds in the sky.

Cheng Feng, Wei Zhuang, and Su Qiang cautiously observed the surroundings from the periphery of the gorge, vigilantly surveying the area.

Especially the area near the water source around the gorge. According to Cheng Feng's guess, that black snake might be coiled up underwater.

But entering the water directly in this weather would be suicide. Cheng Feng was just here to investigate.

Taking advantage of the light formed by the lightning in the sky, the three carefully and cautiously looked around.

Faced with the increasingly harsh weather and the unknown dangerous area they were about to enter, Cheng Feng, Wei Zhuang, and Su Qiang were all particularly cautious. In such an environment, even the slightest negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

In the flashing lightning and thunder, the reflections of the three were illuminated. Seeing that Cheng Feng hadn't gained anything after so long, he had already started to consider retreating. His momentary impulse now seemed to be a wasted trip.

He really shouldn't have come out in this kind of terrible weather.

"Everyone be careful. The terrain here is complex, and there's lightning and thunder. We must be even more cautious. Let's observe for half an incense stick. If we don't find anything, we'll retreat," Cheng Feng whispered as a reminder. His eyes were fixed on the front, as if he could see the danger hidden in the darkness through the rain and darkness.

Wei Zhuang and Su Qiang nodded. This extreme weather was really not suitable for reconnaissance work.

They gripped their weapons tightly, ready to respond to any possible emergencies.

The three slowly advanced, taking each step with extreme caution.

As they gradually approached the water source, the humidity and coldness in the air became increasingly obvious.

According to the theories of his previous life, heavy rain would inevitably cause flooding, which would cause the big snake to run out of its cave to find lower, drier caves.

And this was the reason why Cheng Feng hurriedly came to check. If the heavy rain had passed and the big black snake had run away, then waiting any longer would be meaningless.

After all, the Talent Stone has a time limit.

Suddenly, Wei Zhuang looked towards the top of the gorge: "Do you see anything at the very top of the gorge?"

Cheng Feng and Su Qiang's attention had been focused on the middle and sides of the gorge, so they hadn't really noticed anything at the top of the gorge.

When the two of them first looked carefully, they didn't find anything wrong.

When they looked carefully again with the help of the lightning,

Cheng Feng shouted against the wind and rain: "Has the stone at the very top changed???"

Wei Zhuang and Su Qiang also stared at the stone at the very top of the gorge.

Under the brilliant illumination of the lightning, the large stone at the top of the gorge appeared increasingly clear and terrifying.

Suddenly, Cheng Feng saw clearly that a large snake, also black, was coiled on the stone, and exclaimed: "It's, it's that black snake..."

At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the entire gorge. In that instant, Cheng Feng and the others finally saw clearly—the black shadow was indeed a huge black snake!

It seemed to be integrated with the thunder in the heavens and earth, and each lightning strike seemed to be a solemn baptism for it. The black shadow was huge and terrifying, revealing an ancient and powerful aura that made people shudder.

Its body was even larger than they had imagined, coiled around the boulder at the top of the gorge, like a black mountain. The black snake's scales shimmered with a mysterious light, and a pair of blood-red eyes coldly stared at the three people below.

Cheng Feng swallowed. He felt an invisible pressure coming towards him.

Isn't this the original snake???

How could it have changed so much???

The strength of this black snake far exceeded their expectations. The previous encounter was simply a narrow escape from death.

"We have to leave here quickly!" Cheng Feng said in a low voice, "It has probably already noticed our presence."

Wei Zhuang and Su Qiang nodded. They also realized the danger of the situation. The three turned around and quietly walked back, trying not to make a sound. However, just as they had taken a few steps, the black snake suddenly opened its mouth and let out a earth-shattering roar as it faced the lightning striking it.

A gust of wind swept in, mixed with thick mist, making it almost impossible for them to stand. Cheng Feng secretly thought it was bad. They had been discovered!

Cheng Feng, Wei Zhuang, and Su Qiang looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and awe.

They realized that it was not an ordinary black snake, but a larger, more terrifying alien beast.

The reason why it could be safe and sound in the lightning, and even seemed to be enjoying this baptism, must be because it possessed extraordinary power and physique.

As time passed, they more clearly felt the powerful aura emanating from the black snake. It was an aura that mixed ancientness, wildness, and danger, making people involuntarily feel awe.

"This... what is this thing?" Su Qiang's voice trembled, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Cheng Feng pursed his lips tightly, running while looking back at the top of the gorge. "I don't know, but judging from the aura it exudes, we are not even on the same level of existence. Stop talking, let's run."

Faced with the scene of the black snake tumbling in the lightning at the top of the gorge, facing the thunder, Cheng Feng, Wei Zhuang, and Su Qiang all held their breath and stared, their hearts filled with shock and tension.

"That... is that the black snake you were looking for?" Su Qiang's voice trembled slightly, obviously shocked by the scene in front of him, and asked while running.

Wei Zhuang also looked at Cheng Feng with lingering fear: "You really escaped from its mouth????"

Where did Cheng Feng have time to explain this kind of question at this time?

He circulated his blood energy to his legs and ran as hard as he could. He was now a little regretful. The strength of the three was a little bit different from his, but the two of them were still the same speed as him.

This planted a seed in Cheng Feng's heart. In the future, he must practice long-distance running footwork. The Chaotic Void Step is useful in chaotic battles, but it is useless at this time when he is concentrating on running away.

Fortunately, the black snake had no intention of paying attention to the figures at the foot of the mountain. The lightning in the sky was its biggest enemy at the moment.

There are only two situations for a snake to transform into a dragon, one is to leap over the Dragon Gate, and everything can become a dragon, and the other is to walk the dragon.

Without any chance, the black snake can only rely on its own hard work to endure the time until it can walk the dragon.

But I didn't expect that even the first level of lightning to walk the dragon could not be passed, how could it be willing?

Is the failure at the beginning of the first level in exchange for thousands of years of hard work???

The black snake roared at the lightning in the sky: "I want to transform into a dragon!"
