The giant python never expected that Chen Zhou would have an antidote. Chen Zhou is now as if nothing happened, as the poison in his body has been neutralized by the roots of the poisonous tree.
Without hesitation, Chen Zhou rushed towards the cave entrance. His Healing Spirit Array Scroll was located there, and he had to retrieve it.
True energy swirled around Chen Zhou's legs, and he soon arrived at the cave entrance. Using his true energy, Chen Zhou lifted the scroll and immediately placed it into his storage ring. Then, Chen Zhou turned and prepared to run.
Just then, Chen Zhou smelled an alluring aroma.
The aroma is like a delicious dish, but without the typical flavor of a dish; it's simply very appealing.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
"What kind of aura is this?" Chen Zhou asked Elder Ren.
Mr. Ren is knowledgeable and experienced; he should know what's going on here.
"Could this be a giant python?" Old Ren muttered to himself.
Chen Zhou immediately asked, "The Great Wilderness Python?"
"This aura is emitted when the Great Wilderness Python sheds its skin and undergoes its upgrade. It has an alluring fragrance and can attract many spirit beasts at this time. Therefore, this is also when the Great Wilderness Python is most vulnerable and must have a mate for protection. This is because the spirit beasts will be attracted without hesitation and launch an attack," Elder Ren explained.
"Are there two snakes in here? One is the Great Wilderness Python? And the other is the giant python we just saw?" Chen Zhou asked after thinking calmly.
Ren Lao nodded and said, "Indeed, judging from the pupils of that giant python, it should be a black snake with green eyes. Its species is similar to that of the Great Wilderness Python, and it is indeed one of the mating species of the Great Wilderness Python."
One of the potential mates?
"What is the origin of this Great Wilderness Python?"
"The Great Wilderness Python is a powerful serpentine spirit beast that lives only in desert regions. Legend has it that it can molt four times, and after molting four times, it can reach the ninth level of spirit beast and finally form a golden core. Its strength is particularly terrifying. Because it is a spirit beast that can cultivate a golden core, it is called the overlord of the desert by the people of the desert," Elder Ren explained to Chen Zhou.
After finding a large rock near the cave entrance and hiding there, Chen Zhou asked, "Living in a desert region? Then why are you here?"
"It's very likely that the scarcity of spirit beasts around here has less impact on its advancement. Moreover, judging from its aura, it's very likely a Great Wilderness Python that has undergone its fourth molt. This is its fourth molt. Once this molt is complete, it will advance to a level nine spirit beast and can form its Golden Core at any time," Elder Ren replied.
Because this molting is particularly important, this Great Wilderness Python chose to advance its level in this place where spirit beasts are scarce.
"And what about the green-eyed black snake? What kind of spirit beast is it?" Chen Zhou asked.
"This spirit beast's bloodline is not pure. A truly pure-blooded Azure-eyed Serpent is called the Azure-eyed Dragon Serpent, the king of serpents. This is just a hybrid, its strength is nothing to fear, and it will probably never be able to break through to the ninth level in its lifetime," Elder Ren said.
The current strength of this green-eyed black snake is at level eight, and it will never be able to break through to level nine in its lifetime. Does that mean it can only stay at level eight for its entire life?
"Then why would this Great Wilderness Python be interested in this green-eyed black snake?" Chen Zhou asked.
"It's very likely that they were attracted by its incomplete bloodline. Even an impure Azure-Eyed Dragon Serpent bloodline still has the aura of an Azure-Eyed Dragon Serpent, and this aura is of great significance for the Great Wilderness Python's breakthrough."
After hearing Elder Ren's analysis, Chen Zhou gained a general understanding of the relationships between these spirit beasts. He then asked, "Doesn't this green-eyed black snake know that the Great Wilderness Python is using it?"
Chen Zhou's question left Elder Ren speechless. After thinking for a moment, Elder Ren said, "This is very likely related to what is about to happen. In my opinion, this green-eyed black snake has great ambitions and may devour the Great Wilderness Python."
A spirit beast devours it?
Chen Zhou heard another term he had never heard before and immediately asked, "Spirit beast devouring?"
"Yes, spirit beasts can devour each other. After devouring, they can greatly increase their strength. If this green-eyed black snake can successfully devour the Great Wilderness Python, it may be able to break through the limit of level nine and reach level nine."
"However, this Great Wilderness Python is no stupid snake; it's impossible that it wouldn't be on guard," Elder Ren then added.
Chen Zhou nodded as if he understood, but then a huge explosion came from inside the cave.
"Bang!"
The entire cave began to tremble violently, the entrance started to collapse, and huge rocks fell from above. By the time the explosion stopped, the entrance was half blocked.
Surprisingly, this is far from over; it's just the beginning.
Next, a series of horrific screams echoed from inside the cave.
"Roar roar roar roar roar roar..."
Chen Zhou felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the hiss; wasn't that the cry of the green-eyed black snake?
"Kid, do you dare to take a risk?" Old Ren said with amusement.
"Adventure?" Chen Zhou didn't understand what Ren Lao meant for a moment.
"When two spirit beasts fight, each thinks it will be the one to reap the rewards. But if you go, things will be different. You might just be the one to reap the rewards," Elder Ren kindly reminded him.
Chen Zhou carefully weighed the pros and cons, and indeed, the two spirit beasts were currently evenly matched and could very well fight to the death. Wouldn't that be the one who benefited? Those two spirit beasts had lived for so long and cultivated to the eighth level, so the rare treasures they possessed were probably beyond Chen Zhou's imagination.
After standing there for a while, Chen Zhou made up his mind and quietly slipped into the cave from above.
"Hahaha! As expected of the person I chose." Old Ren laughed confidently.
Chen Zhou had no time to pay attention to Elder Ren. Since he had already chosen to enter the cave, he had to be extremely careful. This situation was no joke. If he made any mistake and was discovered by the two spirit beasts, he would probably be doomed.
They were all level eight spirit beasts, with strength equivalent to a human at the fusion stage. They could kill Chen Zhou with a flick of their wrist.
Chen Zhou walked very carefully. He did not choose to use his true energy for illumination, but instead used the first level of the Eye Technique. A glimpse of starlight filled his eyes, allowing Chen Zhou to see clearly ahead in the darkness.
This is another function of the true essence of the First Eye Technique.
"Roar..."
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
As Chen Zhou walked, he heard cries coming from inside, which grew louder and louder until he reached a bend in the road.
Chen Zhou tiptoed around the corner and saw two large snakes in the cave!
The cave was filled with a ghostly blue light, which shone on the bodies of the two large snakes. Chen Zhou could clearly see the injuries on the green-eyed black snake.
