“I’ve underestimated,” Romo sneered, and then he felt a burst of anger. “You, a mere magical beast, dare to play mind games with me, elder of universal spirits? You even want to crush me as if I’m a pushover? Hehe, I’ll blind your disdainful eyes!” Romo thought angrily as he watched the giant python attack him again.
“Skyfiend Three Transformations!” Romo shouted loudly. He immediately used this explosive type of magical power, and his aura, which was at the peak of the Great Archmage realm, instantly increased again! Magical power surged from his body as he charged at the giant python.
Instantly, a series of loud explosions could be heard from the poisonous clouds, as well as the sounds of battle. The ground shook, and sand and stones were sent flying. The commotion was huge.
At the same time, the Five-Color Peacock, which was dozens of kilometers away, had stopped on a huge tree. It was not idling. Instead, it was crazily absorbing the spiritual energy of the world to rapidly heal the wounds on its body. At this moment, it opened its eyes and saw the magical light coming from the poisonous cloud, as well as the sounds of battle. Its eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, and at the same time, it was a little worried. However, its priority now was to recover quickly.
In a short while, an even more powerful aura suddenly erupted from the poisonous clouds. Once this aura erupted, the Five-Color Peacock instantly became nervous. Even the feathers on its body stood up one by one. This was a natural reaction from being provoked by a powerful enemy. Then, it was shocked to see several powerful rays of magical light and explosions erupting from the poisonous clouds. There were also the painful screams of the python. Instantly, the Five-Color Peacock became even more nervous.
Boom!
Roar!
After a loud explosion and the giant python’s woeful cry, there was no more sound coming from the tumbling poisonous clouds. Instead, it gradually became calm. The poisonous clouds, which had been rolling and condensing non-stop, seemed to have a life of their own, quickly dissipating into the surroundings as if they had died. In a short while, the poisonous clouds dissipated to only a thin layer. The Five-Color Peacock opened its eyes wide and looked over. It saw the giant python lying motionless on the ground. Half of its originally pitch-black body had turned silver. Upon closer look, it was found to be covered in a layer of frost. The Five-Color Peacock could no longer sense any trace of life from the giant python. The Five-Color Peacock was shocked.
Has the giant python died?
It focused its gaze and saw a small human figure standing on the giant python’s head which was covered in frost. It was the human Great Archmage whom the giant python had pursued just now! At this moment, this human Great Archmage was holding the giant python’s almost formed dragon horns with both hands. He used all his strength to pull them out forcefully. Instantly, there was a snapping sound, and the entire dragon horns were pulled off with some skin and flesh. Then, from the head of the giant python, a fist-sized, pitch-black, pearl-like Magic Beast Core was extracted. He then placed them all in a Storage Ring. After doing all this, this human looked at the Five-Color Peacock and smiled harmlessly at the Five-Color Peacock.
However, when the Five-Color Peacock saw the human’s smile, it was instantly even more afraid. That’s right, it was currently afraid because it had been very clear about the combat strength of the giant python. Previously, it had already fought with the giant python for at least half a year. Both sides had been evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. This was why the battle had been in a stalemate. But now, the giant python had only fought with that human for less than 15 minutes and it had been killed by that human Great Archmage. Even its dragon horns had been yanked out and its crystal core had been taken away. It was simply unimaginably brutal. How could the Five-Color Peacock not be afraid? But what made the Five-Color Peacock even more afraid was that the human Great Archmage then was actually flying in its direction.
“Chirp ~ ~ ~ ~”
The Five-Color Peacock flapped its wings and suddenly flew up from the huge tree where it had been resting. All the magical power in its body was activated, and it emitted a powerful aura. It made a huge threatening sound at Romo, telling him not to get close.
Seeing how nervous the Five-Color Peacock was, Romo stopped about a kilometer away from it and did not continue forward. He smiled and said with a friendly smile, “You don’t have to be afraid. I do not have any hostile intentions toward you.”
“Chirp ~ ~ ~ ~”
The Five-Color Peacock could understand Romo’s words, but it still let out a cry full of warning. If Romo continued to approach, the Five-Color Peacock would attack without hesitation.
Romo looked at the Five-Color Peacock, which looked as if it was facing a great enemy, and waved his hand. “Alright, alright. I won’t go near you, alright? I’ll just talk to you here.”
The Five-Color Peacock’s eyes were still full of wariness, but there was no longer so much hostility. It also did not know why Romo wanted to talk to it, but as long as he did not attack it or even intended to capture it and make it his mount, it was fine. It had previously encountered many human Great Archmagi, and they had all done such things, insisting that it be their mount, otherwise they would kill it. However, in the end, it was those people who died.
As expected, Romo did not continue to advance. Instead, his eyes revealed an expression of reminiscence. “You may not remember me. We had met 500 years ago, but at that time, my strength was still very weak, only at the level of a level-6 Great Archmage. At that time, I accidentally saw you and was frightened away by your aura. Hahaha.” As Romo spoke, he started to laugh. The Five-Color Peacock looked at him in confusion. It did not know at all about the cultivation base of the level-6 Great Archmage Romo had mentioned. It also did not know why Romo had been frightened away by it despite being so powerful. It naturally would not remember a human who had sensed its aura from afar and had been frightened away by it.
At this moment, Romo’s eyes drifted to a bird’s nest on the tree. He focused his gaze and saw a huge egg in the bird’s nest. It was the egg of the Five-Color Peacock! Upon seeing the huge egg, Romo was instantly enlightened. He said, “So the python was fighting you because it wanted your egg!”
“Chirp ~ ~ ~ ~”
After hearing Romo’s words, the Five-Color Peacock, which had almost calmed down, became nervous again. It let out a warning cry, spread its wings, and flew above the bird’s nest. With the surging magical power, it could launch the fiercest attack at any moment, protecting its egg, which was its child tightly.
“Calm down, calm down! Don’t worry, I was just saying it casually. I won’t snatch your egg..” Romo hurriedly waved his hand and said when he saw this, afraid that the Five-Color Peacock would misunderstand.
