Chapter 242: The Super Demonic Beast Appears!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng began to dissect the Grade 6 Lava Python. After cutting apart so many lava pythons, his movements were exceptionally fluid and efficient.
Within a few minutes, everything of value was removed from the lava python's body.
As he kicked the remains of the gigantic lava python into the lava lake, it instantly triggered a huge commotion!
The lava lake suddenly surged dramatically as large amounts of lava bubbled on its surface.
In the distance, a huge lava wave about twenty meters high arched through the lava lake as a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire area!
Bei Feng felt his temples throbbing as an intense sense of fear rose in his heart. The creature moving through the lava had not even showed its face, but Bei Feng's back was already drenched with sweat!
In that instant, Bei Feng no longer had any thoughts of continuing to fish. He recalled the Fusang Wood Fishing Rod back into his body and morphed into a shadow as he fled back the way he came as fast as he could!
"Quick! Faster!"
He did not even dare to turn his head back as he ran. Afraid to waste even a single millisecond, the blood and Qi energy in his body erupted with full power!
Bei Feng knew that he had still been blinded by greed in the end. He wanted to fish up as many lava pythons as possible, and had not noticed that over half of the Xiantian level lava pythons in the lava lake had already been killed by him!
The death of the Grade 6 lava python must have alerted the super Demonic Beast in the lava lake!
Finally, he reached the other end of the huge platform. Without pausing in the slightest, he directly leapt off the platform!
A snow-white wing unfurled on his back, stabilizing his fall. Bei Feng focused all his blood and Qi energy into the wing and in an instant, he disappeared into distance at supersonic speed!
Only after he'd arrived several hundred meters away did the sonic boom arrive.
At this time, he finally had the time to spare a glance backwards. With just a single look, his heart began to pump even more wildly. In that instant, his speed increased again!
What did he see when he turned back? A colossal Lava Python of inestimable size! Just its head alone was over twenty meters tall!
There was no need to talk about the length of its body. The platform he was sitting on a moment ago was several hundred meters tall. But turning around, he could see the creature's entire head above the platform, as well as the two sinister eyes which were as big as millstones and cold as ice!
Bei Feng fled very quickly, disappearing in an instant and reappearing in front of the tunnel again. Only then did the terrifying feeling on his back disappear. Still, he did not dare to relax. After he kept his wing, he continued to rush for the exit while panting furiously.
Right now, his body was in a terrible state. Bei Feng felt like his entire body had been drained empty. Although he had only been running for one minute, moving at supersonic speeds required a vast amount of blood and Qi energy! Such an expenditure was extremely taxing on the body.
Bei Feng was completely drained, and he had also suffered some internal injuries. But at least, he'd managed to keep his little life.
"That snake boss is really too terrifying! An ordinary Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert might not even be able to defeat it!"
Bei Feng had really received a good scare this time. The feeling of powerlessness had impacted him deeply, causing a desire to become even stronger to bloom in his heart!
That colossal lava python had been living in the lava lake for god knows how long. For all he knew, it might be the old ancestor of all the lava pythons in there!
For some reason, the lava python did not chase after him. That was the only reason he was able to escape.
He was sure that even if he ran faster than he had, he would still be unable to flee from the lava python if it really wanted to kill him!
Most people would assume that the lava python would not be able to move quickly since it was so big. However, that would be a great mistake!
Imagine a person riding a motorcycle, going 80 yards an hour [ED/N: ~73 km/h] in the jungle terrain and chased by a 10-meter-tall giant cockroach within a distance of 100 meters. There was no way the person would be able to escape!
Bei Feng finally stopped and sat down, his breath heavy and laborious. With a thought, a huge chunk of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat appeared in his hands. Without bothering to slice it apart, he began tearing at it with his teeth like a desperate barbarian. At the same time, he adjusted his blood and Qi to stabilize his injuries.
"SHA!"
Back at the lava lake, a colossal lava python with a body several hundred meters long and tens of meters thick suddenly reared its head and hissed to the sky. Its cry was so loud it resounded like the roars of tigers and dragons!
Some Grade 1 lava pythons directly exploded under the immense pressure of the hiss, and even a portion of the Grade 2 lava pythons died!
A single horn over three meters long extended from the top of the lava python's head, emanating an intense aura as if it wished to pierce through the sky!
This lava python could not be considered a python at this point. In fact, it more closely resembled the legendary dragons!
As the horn appeared, numerous black gold chains as thick as thumbs also materialized around the lava python's body, shimmering with an inky light!
"Hua, hua!"
The colossal lava python struggled with all its might, but it was completely useless!
Although the chains only had the thickness of a thumb, they were incomparably tough. No matter how the lava python tried to break free, it was unable to shatter even a single chain!
"Sha! D*mn that Giant Bear tribe!"
The colossal lava python hissed angrily; the sound of its hiss reverberated through the entire cavern. Taking one last look at the location which Bei Feng had disappeared with a frosty look in its eyes, the lava python dove back into the lava lake.
"Now is not the time. When the Scarlet Vine Fruit increases in medicinal strength again, that would be the time when I shall escape this bondage!"
The huge cavern rebounded with the voice of the colossal lava python. At the same time, the smaller lava pythons had also sunk back into the depths of the lava lake, allowing its surface to finally regain its calm. Anyone who had not witnessed the earlier sights would definitely not believe that this lava lake actually held so many lifeforms!
The Scarlet Vine Fruit had already matured long ago. However, the colossal lava python had not consumed it all this while. That was because it was waiting for the fruit to continue accumulating more energy and undergo a fundamental change!
At that time, once it consumed the Scarlet Vine Fruit, it would be able to breakthrough to a higher realm. Using that power, it would be able to destroy its shackles!
Half a day later, Bei Feng finally emerged from the dark passageway. When he saw the sun and felt its warm rays shining upon him, he felt like he had been given a new lease on life.
The first time he came here, he had spent an entire day walking through the passageway. But due to his fear of the colossal lava python giving chase, Bei Feng had rushed as quickly as he could to come out.
"Before breaking through to the Controlled Dan stage, I'll not come back here even if I was being beaten to death!"
Bei Feng took one last look at the inky black tunnel with some trepidation in his heart. That passageway was like a huge gaping maw, waiting for people to deliver themselves in.
Most of Bei Feng's injuries had recovered while he was coming out of the tunnel. The remaining injuries were mild, and would be fine with some adjustment.
A singular wing unfurled behind him and with a flap, he soared into the sky!
It was easy to come down, but difficult to go back up.
When he first arrived, he only needed to control his descent, and had only used about a minute to reach the bottom of the crater. But flying back up to the surface took him over ten minutes of effort!
The land above the ground was covered with sunlight, and the sky was exceptionally clear. Bei Feng had come out on a rare cloudless and sunny day, immediately lifting his mood.
Without further hesitation, he continued flying toward the Lido Ghost City.
As long as he did not try to fly at supersonic speeds, the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle wing would only require a negligible amount of energy to sustain flight. Bei Feng's blood and Qi energy was more than enough for him to fly for half a day without rest!
When he was a day's travel away from Lido Ghost City, Bei Feng landed and retracted his wing, opting to continue on foot to avoid alarming anybody.
As he trekked through the thick jungle, he finally found the time to start a fire and prepare a proper meal for himself.
Ever since he was scared away by the colossal lava python, he had never stopped moving for long. His mind was in a constant state of stress, and he was only able to fully relax now.
Throughout the journey, he had not dared to stop at all. He would chew at the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat as he flew, thus sustaining himself for the flight. Fortunately, the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat did not have the slightest fishy taste. Otherwise, that would be the real torture.
Now that he was finally able to relax, the tensed up feelings flooded over in an instant, causing him to feel a bout of giddiness.
After a hasty meal, Bei Feng jumped onto a towering tree and sat on its topmost branch, falling asleep almost in an instant.
