"What's the rush? I haven't rested enough yet. Let me rest a bit more before heading to the next great demon's territory. You all know how ferocious these great demons are. I need to be fully rested before I can escape from them."
Xiao Feng watched the two anxious fellows with a leisurely air, completely ignoring their advice.
As time passed day by day, the two demons finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"My lord, I've heard that there's a ten-thousand-year-old Devouring Python nearby, and it possesses a piece of bright jade. I've heard that this jade can multiply a cultivator's cultivation level, but I don't know if it's true or not?"
One day, half a month later, the bird demon suddenly approached Xiao Feng furtively and cautiously revealed some information to him.
"Are you telling the truth?" Xiao Feng knew they were deliberately putting on an act in front of him, but that didn't stop him from pretending to be very interested in Mingyu.
"Of course, my lord, my loyalty to you is as clear as day and night. I would never deceive you. That ten-thousand-year-old Devouring Python became a renowned figure among the great demons precisely because it possessed the Jade!"
The bird demon, with a serious expression, urged Xiao Feng to hurry to the territory of the Devouring Python.
"My cultivation has reached another bottleneck. If I can obtain the Bright Jade, my strength will surely increase again. It seems that I have no choice but to go to the territory of the Devouring Python."
Xiao Feng feigned being lured and finally spoke the words the two demons wanted to hear.
However, after being attacked by the nine-headed lion, the bird demon and Taotie realized one thing: they must not let Xiao Feng seize the opportunity to make a deal with the great demon.
Xiao Feng has something that can help the Nine-Headed Lion, and he must also have something that can help other great demons!
Although Mingyu is useful to the Devouring Python, what if Xiao Feng can come up with something even more useful? Wouldn't he then have to make friends with another great demon?
So just as Xiao Feng finished packing his things and was about to go find the Ten-Thousand-Year Devouring Python, the bird demon spoke up again: "Does my lord intend to go find the Ten-Thousand-Year Devouring Python and snatch Mingyu from its hands?"
Xiao Feng feigned confusion and said, "Since Mingyu belongs to him, why should I snatch her from him? Of course, I should make a deal with him. If I can get Mingyu back from him, that would be the best outcome."
The bird demon immediately became serious: "My lord, you must not! This ten-thousand-year-old Devouring Python is not the same as the Nine-Headed Lion. The Nine-Headed Lion does not have much hatred for humans; at most, it just dislikes the presence of humans in its territory."
"But this ten-thousand-year-old Devouring Python devours all the humans and demons that enter its territory. After all, the Devouring Python is also a cold-blooded animal."
"No other demon race can survive in his territory, and he is inherently ferocious and tyrannical. If you are not on guard, you may be ambushed by him!"
After hearing the bird demon's words, Xiao Feng feigned surprise without showing any emotion, and then asked, "Since you understand this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Devouring Python, you must also know its temperament. Is its temperament really as violent as you say?"
Seeing that Xiao Feng had taken the bait, the bird demon suppressed the smile of triumph over his scheme and immediately nodded seriously, then said, "Actually, with your current cultivation level, dealing with the Ten-Thousand-Year Devouring Python is not a difficult task."
"My lord, there's no need to waste words with him. Just defeat him and snatch Mingyu from his hands. That's how the demon race always does things."
Xiao Feng feigned concern: "But I am, after all, a human. Is it really appropriate for me to cause such a commotion on the territory of the demon race?"
Taotie chimed in from the side, "It's as if the commotion you caused before wasn't a big deal. I've never seen you act this cowardly before."
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes at the Taotie walking by and then put it into his system space.
When the bird demon saw Taotie suddenly disappear from in front of him, he knew that he had been taken into Xiao Feng's contract space.
The bird demon always thought that Taotie was Xiao Feng's contracted beast.
Now only the bird demon remains, but the play must continue.
The bird demon feigned fear and told Xiao Feng many stories about the Devouring Python slaughtering other demons and swallowing cultivators alive.
All of these statements were meant to tell Xiao Feng that making a deal with the Devouring Python was absolutely unacceptable.
Xiao Feng had already seen through the bird demon and Taotie's little scheme at a glance.
However, Xiao Feng did not expose them. Instead, he had the bird demon lead the way, and successfully brought them to the territory of the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python.
"Just as you said, it was very quiet; there wasn't even a sound."
Upon arriving at the territory of the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python, Xiao Feng quickly released his divine sense to briefly explore the area.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, not a single demonic beast was found.
"My lord, how could I dare to deceive you? That ten-thousand-year-old Devouring Python is so brutal that no other demon beasts dare to live in its territory!"
The bird demon was naturally afraid of the Ten-Thousand-Year Devouring Python, but in order to kill Xiao Feng, he had no other choice.
Xiao Feng's divine sense continued to expand the scope of his investigation.
Besides the traces left by the Devouring Python, Xiao Feng also saw several demonic beasts that had turned into withered bones.
There are also several traces left from the battle.
This time, the bird demon and Taotie did not deceive Xiao Feng; the Devouring Python was indeed not an easy opponent to deal with.
“I have already discovered the Devouring Python’s trail. Since Mingyu is in his hands, let’s go find him directly.”
After saying this, Xiao Feng led the bird demon and Zhao Yuwei deep into the territory of the Devouring Python.
On the way, Zhao Yuwei saw the tracks left by the Devouring Python and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Was this entire passage made by the Devouring Python? Was its size really that huge?"
The bird demon probably hadn't seen the Devouring Python in a long time, only having heard of its name.
Seeing the jungle ruins that looked as if they had been destroyed by something, the bird demon couldn't help but swallow hard and stammered, "I've only ever heard of the terrifying reputation of the Ten-Thousand-Year Sky-Swallowing Python."
"I've never seen one before, sir. We'd better hurry up and leave. If we anger the Devouring Python, we won't be able to escape!"
Looking at the fear on the bird demon's face, Xiao Feng found it somewhat laughable.
Xiao Feng's divine sense has already located the current location of the Devouring Python.
Seeing how frightened the bird demon was, Xiao Feng quickly figured out how to wake the Devouring Python from its slumber!
"We've already come this far, why waste time turning back? Besides, this is the only way we can leave the demon race. We'll have to face the Devouring Python sooner or later, so I might as well test its strength first!"
Seeing Xiao Feng's fearless demeanor, the bird demon felt a rare pang of regret.
He had a bad feeling about it.
Led by Xiao Feng, the two humans and one demon quickly arrived at the place where the Devouring Python was resting.
The bird demon looked at the sleeping, coiled-up Sky-Devouring Python and felt that its small body wouldn't even be enough to fill the python's teeth.
He needed to figure out how to ensure that Xiao Feng and the Devouring Python fought to the death while he himself managed to escape.
