Bei Feng had never seen such a terrifying creature before in his life. Just a single eye had caused Bei Feng to receive a heavy injury even though they were worlds apart each other. Or rather, as long as one saw that eye, it was impossible to avoid being impacted by it.
Apart from the bronze man in the Qin Emperor’s mausoleum, this was definitely the most terrifying existence he’d ever seen!
“Just what the hell was that!?”
Bei Feng’s mind was in utter turmoil. In that moment, he carefully controlled the line and moved it away.
In the mine, the moment that the huge snake awoke, everyone before it felt their bodies constrict as a loud boom rang out in their minds. In an instant, everyone lost their ability to think.
Only the sight of the terrifying silver light remained in their sea of consciousness. Apart from the several hundred core disciples and Han Xin, all the ordinary people in the area directly burst apart, turning into blood mist!
Hundreds of thousands of people died together in an instant, and a dense blood mist hung in the cavern. In the blink of an eye, the cavern was turned into a bloody hell!
With every breath, one would inhale a large amount of blood mist into their lungs. The smell of blood was so pungent that it was impossible not to vomit.
The huge snake did not make any movements, and not a single shred of energy radiated from its body. The humans before it were simply too weak, and could not even meet its gaze!
After evolving to such a high level, even if it was inferior to a dragon, it was still one of the most power Demonic Beasts below it!
The snake’s eyes carried a hint of confusion. It wasn’t clear how many tens of millenias it’d slept, but to this gigantic snake, that amount of time was just a normal period of sleep!
It had probably seen the fishing line and hook before it, but such a tiny thing was completely ignored by the gigantic snake. With a light move of its humongous body, the snake’s tail uncoiled as if it was stretching itself.
The long and fat body of the snake moved for the first time in many years, with a motion like a vast mountain range awakening.
As soon as the huge snake moved its body, a third of the core disciples groaned miserably and burst apart into blood mist with a wretched cry as well.
The huge snake had only made a simple movement, but all its movements seemed to contain the laws and mysteries of Heaven and Earth itself. The disciples who hadn’t reached a certain of level of strength felt like their hearts and minds had suffered a huge collision.
Only the sect elder, Han Xin, had barely reached the lowest level of comprehension required to remain uninjured. However, he was like a dumb child in class with weak intelligence who could only understand the simplest thing that the teacher taught. His face was competely marred with tears and snot.
The higher one’s cultivation was, the more they could understand how terrifying this snake was. The normal core disciples could tell that this snake was very powerful, but they couldn’t pinpoint the exact thing that was most powerful about it.
But Elder Han was different. It was because he himself was a strong individual that he understood that this huge snake was like the heavens itself, while he was a tiny ant that this creature could not even be bothered to crush!
“Haha! What great luck! This place is simply a natural treasure land!”
“Senior Brother Ma, congratulations on your huge breakthrough! With your strength, there’s a great chance to succeed the legacy half a year later!”
“This trip was really worth it. Although I was luckier and obtained a supreme natural spirit pill, you guys have also collected quite a lot of medicinal fluid and improved your cultivation greatly.”
“Haha, just by drinking this medicinal fluid has saved us at least 10 years of bitter cultivation!”
While Elder Han and the other core disciples’ nerves were on the verge of collapsing, a clamor of joyous laughter rang out through the cavern.
The small group of core disciples who hadn’t been blown out by the violent airflow at the start walked out with a horse-faced youth in the lead. The horse-faced youth had a proud aura around him as he strutted over with wide steps.
“Eh? Elder Han, what happened to you guys?”
When the horse-faced youth saw the wretched appearance of Elder Han and the rest, his eyes immediately widened with shock.
“Ma… Senior… Senior Brother Ma.”
“Se, sn, snak!”
A trembling voice rang out.
“Xiao Liu, it’s not that I want to berate you, but your cultivation has already reached such heights, so how come you’re still stuttering? Didn’t you get rid of that stuttering problem a long time ago? Did it come back already?”
Because his culivation had taken a huge leap forward, he was currently in a very good mood, which was why the horse-faced youth still had the mind to tease his friends.
“Senior Brother Ma, behind you!” the youngster who was called Xiao Liu screeched in fear, barely able to get the words out of his mouth.
“Eh?”
The horse-faced youth furrowed his brows with annoyance. With a lofty snort, his mental power blasted out, covering an area of 10,000 meters around him!
Before obtaining the natural treasure, the horse-faced youth’s mental power could only cover an area of 5,000 meters around him. But now that he’d broken through a large realm, the range that his mental power could cover had increased by a lot.
But immediately after he sent his mental power out, the horse-faced youth’s expression instantly turned ugly. Under his perception, he ‘saw’ an indescribably huge head!
His mental power which could cover 10,000 meters was actually unable to see the entire head properly!
At this point, he finally managed to understand his current position. He was standing right outside the nostrils of an impossibly huge head!
As mental power was directly linked to the soul, using mental power to see was much more impactful than seeing through the eyes. A pair of huge silver eyes was firmly imprinted in the horse faced youth’s mind.
In the instant that his mental power came into contact with that huge eye, it began to crumble apart.
‘So the caves we’ve entered were actually the nostrils of a huge beast. Then, the black ‘natural spirit pill’ I ate was actually just its booger?’
There was no time for fear or thought. The last thing that flashed through the horse-faced youth’s mind was only realization as his body instantly withered like a mummy that’d been dried in the wind for thousands of years.
All his essence blood was directly burned away in that instant, and his mental power and soul collapsed.
Those that were still alive were breaking down mentally. Some were beginning to develop permanent mental injuries.
“Ss!”
Three silver little snakes slithered up from the huge snake’s tummy, and a silver radiance shone from their bodies. They were only the size of chopsticks, but their hissing was akin to heavenly thunder.
The gigantic snake gently moved its body, and when its eyes landed on the three tiny little snakes, its cold and indifferent gaze became warmer as a hint of love could be detected within it.
The three little snakes moved very quickly. Like bullets leaving the barrel of a gun, they directly shot through the hearts of the core disciples!
Anyone of the core disciples could actually kill these silver little snakes with ease, but when they approached, nobody dared to stop them at all.
A small hole appeared on the bodies of each person, and not a single shred of blood flowed out. Everybody’s faces were deathly pale, without a shred of red, as if their blood had all been sucked dry.
“Ss!”
Three sucking sounds rang out, and the three little snakes that’d reached 10 meters now raised a third of their bodies; their mouths were like little black holes as a powerful suction force surged out from them.
The dense blood mist in the cavern began to pour into their mouths, and each breath seemed to be endlessly drawing in all the air in the area. A suffocating feeling fell upon anything that still breathed in the cavern.
After sucking in everything, the three little snakes burped cutely and slithered back into the gigantic snake’s mouth.
“Rumble!”
The gigantic snake suddenly began to move, and in that instant, it was as if the earth and heavens were splitting apart. A huge fissure tens of thousand li long was directly torn open in the ground as the humongous snake slithered out.
Bei feng’s fishing hook had been moved to right beside the large snake, and at this time, his heart was palpitating furiously as well. Seeing the endless mass of silver slithering past the hook, he was deathly afraid that the hook would accidentally get caught up on it.
Bei Feng tried his best to move the hook as far away as possible, all the while being fully prepared to chuck the rod away. A Demonic Beast of this level was definitely not something he could fish up.
‘Although I haven’t gone fishing in a long time, there’s no need to start with such a big fellow right from the beginning, right?’
Bei Feng felt extremely gloomy in his heart. Such a huge creature was definitely not something that he could dare to provoke. He would rather fish up a low-grade item and avoid this thing completely! Ten birds in the forest were not as good as having one bird in hand.
Looking at the endless length of snake body slithering past him, Bei Feng’s mouth had not closed since the start.
“With such a huge body, just how ridiculously powerful is this Demonic Beast?!” Bei Feng wondered aloud. Even if it was just the most common Demonic Beast with no special features, as long as it possessed this enormous body, then not to mention the power contained within it, just the body was enough to steamroll countless Thousand Year Kings!
After the huge snake left, a deathly silence remained in the empty cavern. Hundreds of thousands of people had been killed, without any hint of their corpses remaining. The ones who’d managed to run far enough and to survive continued fleeing without looking back at all!
After the huge snake left, a huge patch of thousand meter tall eggs were left in its place. Each egg was covered with beautiful intricate silver patterns, and among them, there were three eggs with tiny holes in them.
The large patch of eggs was deathly still. Upon closer investigation, one could see that there were countless fine cracks on the surface of most of the eggs.
The three eggs with chopstick-sized holes in them were different; the patterns on their surface were more resplendent, and the shells were flawless and whole.
“These are that giant beast’s eggs? But how is each egg so big? How did these creatures survive and live to such a large size?”
Bei Feng could not wrap his mind around the strength of that huge Demonic Beast. It was like how an ordinary person could only try to imagine what an emperor ate for every meal. The difference between them was simply too large.
‘That gigantic Demonic Beast is gone now, but there’s no telling if it’ll come back. Since these eggs were laid by that huge fellow, the amount of energy inside each egg must be incredible to an unimaginable degree!’
Bei Feng fell silent as he struggled to make his decision.
His first thought was naturally to try and obtain these eggs. The energy in a single egg was probably enough for him to use for a very long time. On the other hand, he was worried about the terrifying snake returning.
But the moment he thought of the gigantic Demonic Beast, Bei Feng could feel his legs softening. Gven the power of that creature, he truly wondered if it had the power to barge its way through the spatial vortex.
An hour passed, and the fishing time limit was almost up; however, Bei Feng still didn’t see the huge creature returning.
“F*ck it! Fortune can only be found amidst danger!”
Bei Feng gritted his teeth and hurriedly controlled the fishing line towards one of the giant eggs!
Unexpectedly, this huge egg was shockingly heavy, and Bei Feng’s fishing rod was completely bent into a huge bow shape as he lifted it up!
Bei Feng was like a panicking thief in that moment as he completely disregarded his own heavy injury and reeled in the line with all his might!
At this moment, Bei Feng’s mental power was stretched to its limits. The pressure that the Demonic Beast brought him was simply too great. If he so much as glimpsed that it’d returned, he would chuck the fishing rod away without hesitation!
Bei Feng’s magic vision was limited, and he could not see for too far. He naturally did not know that these eggs were unfertilized or failed products and the huge snake did not care for them at all.
