"Alright, if you don't see the essence, you can turn hostile immediately," the Great Wilderness Python said calmly.
Chen Zhou did not continue to answer. He thought that the Great Wilderness Python would not be stupid enough to deceive him with such a thing. Now it seemed that this matter was indeed quite important to the Great Wilderness Python.
If his deception causes Chen Zhou to completely mess up the matter, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it.
"Tell me now, what do you need me to do? I can start right away, I'm in a hurry," Chen Zhou urged.
“This matter can’t be rushed. You’re only a level two array master. Asking you for help is a difficult task for you,” the Great Wilderness Python said, turning its back to him.
"Do you want me to help you set up the formation?" Chen Zhou asked.
Upon hearing this, the Great Wilderness Python immediately turned around and said, "That's right."
The Great Wilderness Python's answer further convinced Chen Zhou how sought-after a formation master was. He himself had almost been imprisoned as an intruder in the Yinatar tribe, and was only spared because he was a formation master. The condition for letting Chen Zhou go was almost the same: help them set up the divine tree protection formation.
Now, the Great Wilderness Python's condition for letting him go is to set up an array. Could it be that the Great Wilderness Python's array is even more difficult than the Divine Tree Protection Array? Chen Zhou couldn't believe it. He could only say that the difficulty was probably comparable to the Divine Tree Protection Array. Chen Zhou had only gone so far; it was impossible for him to encounter two such difficult arrays in a row.
"What kind of formation?" Chen Zhou asked.
"Follow me, I have already summoned three array masters." The Great Wilderness Python slowly began to walk forward, and Chen Zhou immediately followed.
Three array masters have already been summoned?
"Since you've already gathered three array masters, do you still need me?" Chen Zhou asked.
“It’s absolutely necessary. Of the other three array masters, only one is a level two array master, and the rest are level one array masters. This array is so difficult that it would require at least a level three array master to set it up. Now that we have two level two array masters and two level one array masters, we can only say that we’re trying it out.”
"You need to understand this," the Great Wilderness Python said. "This attempt is less of an experiment and more of a question of whether you can survive."
The two walked through the jungle, which was unusually quiet. This was likely due to the oppressive power of the Great Wilderness Python's Golden Core, which meant that no spirit beasts would appear within a ten-mile radius.
Chen Zhou now understood the current situation. In other words, he and the other three array masters would have to work together. If they could set up the array, he would be able to leave alive.
If not, the Great Wilderness Python will likely leave him here. Whether he lives or dies is unknown, but he will definitely be imprisoned and have his true energy absorbed by the Great Wilderness Python.
Chen Zhou felt uncomfortable just thinking about that scene: a large snake surrounding her, its head facing her, constantly making her release her true energy for her to absorb.
"Ding! Host has not cultivated for one minute. True Qi value +12! Root Bone value +12! Spirituality value +3! Blood Qi value +12!"
As Chen Zhou's strength increased, the attribute values added by the Salted Fish System also increased significantly.
They walked in silence for a while, then the Great Wilderness Python used its true energy to travel on its legs.
With nothing to do along the way, Chen Zhou casually glanced at the giant python beside him and realized that the python, which had just transformed into human form, was not walking in a coordinated manner.
Chen Zhou glanced at it a few times and really wanted to go up and help her correct it.
Using their inner energy to travel, the two quickly left the southern jungle. To Chen Zhou's surprise, desert land appeared immediately after they left the southern jungle.
What's going on?
There is no dividing line between the jungle and the desert; they are almost adjacent.
Why did this happen?
"Judging from your curious look, you must be curious about the dividing line here, right?" The Great Wilderness Python glanced at Chen Zhou as it passed through the dividing line and said.
The Great Wilderness Python also grew up from a small python. From a young age, it liked to stay alone on the edge of the central desert, which is the boundary between the southern jungle and the central desert.
At that time, the relationships between the spirit beasts were peaceful. The spirit beasts would marvel at the close proximity of the desert and the jungle. At this time, the little python would come out to explain. The conversations between the spirit beasts always made the little python very happy.
Legend has it that the Central Desert was originally part of the Southern Jungle, but one day, two powerful and very similar spirit beasts made a bet that whoever could suddenly change the terrain would become the overlord of the Southern Jungle.
One of the spirit beasts was skilled at absorbing moisture from the ground, so it directly absorbed all the moisture from the central jungle land. Before long, the trees in the central area withered and died, eventually forming a desert.
Then, without a doubt, this spirit beast won the bet. However, it couldn't adapt to the arid central jungle, so it left and went to the southern jungle. Meanwhile, the other spirit beast, which loved the dry environment, went to the central jungle, which had by then completely turned into a desert.
Instead of clashing, the two spirit beasts lived together in greater peace.
This creates a spectacular scene where the central desert borders the southern jungle.
Just as the Great Wilderness Python told this story to passing spirit beasts when it was young, it now tells it to Chen Zhou again, giving one a feeling of returning to the past.
Upon hearing the explanation from the Great Wilderness Python, Chen Zhou seemed to see a different Great Wilderness Python, completely different from the one he had seen before.
"I see," Chen Zhou replied. These kinds of stories are just stories to be heard, and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Upon entering the central desert, it felt as if they had stepped into the land of the Great Wilderness Python. Her speed suddenly increased significantly, and Chen Zhou felt like he couldn't keep up. However, he remained close behind the Great Wilderness Python and did not break away from her.
Chen Zhou wanted to simply break away from the situation if he couldn't catch up, so he could escape.
Chen Zhou thought about it and decided against it. The Great Wilderness Python's speed was actually kept within his reach. Moreover, if what the Great Wilderness Python said was true, it still had a spirit left on him. Even if Chen Zhou escaped now...
The Great Wilderness Python can also find Chen Zhou at any time.
The immortal core within Chen Zhou's dantian was still being refined, and the refining speed of the poisonous tree root had slowed down considerably. This was because Chen Zhou's dantian was already saturated, and he had successfully broken through to the next level. Absorbing it as quickly as before would only be a waste for Chen Zhou.
The root of the poisonous tree understood this point well, and did not absorb it too quickly, thus avoiding the waste of true energy.
