"Let's go. I won't kill you. If I can get out of here, I'll take you all with me."
Li Changge turned around and led the two strange beasts deeper into the desolate mountains.
Since even the native creatures don't know how to get out, there's only one path left: to go all the way.
The Black Bear King watched as Li Changge's figure disappeared from his sight.
It hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed. The remaining three black bears also appeared beside the Black Bear King.
"Just bury it properly, consider it our bad luck."
………
Wow!
A man and two beasts walked through the night, the hoarse cries of crows from the surrounding branches adding to the eerie atmosphere.
"Strange, we've been walking for ten minutes and haven't seen anything."
Li Changge was puzzled, as he could neither see any treasure nor was there any strange beast attacking them.
"hiss."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a giant python suddenly leaped out of the tree in front of the man and the two beasts, moving with such speed that it stirred up a gust of evil wind.
"This giant python has definitely killed many creatures."
Li Changge's intuition told him that this giant python was extremely dangerous.
"Hey."
The cracking speed increased threefold, as if a god had descended to earth.
Just as the giant python was about to succeed in its attack, it grabbed the python's body and flung it far away.
Its split claws are exceptionally sharp, coupled with its innate immense strength.
During its flight, the giant python's body broke in two, and green blood gushed out.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss."
The python's voice was very rapid, and its huge eyes were filled with terror.
Its tried-and-true sneak attacks finally met their match today.
Finally, the cleavage flew over again, delivering the final claw strike, and smashed the giant python's head open.
"They're gone."
Seeing that it was about to eat the snake meat, Li Changge stopped it in time.
"Hey."
With a reluctant cry, it returned to Li Changge's side.
After this little incident, Li Changge's vigilance was immediately heightened.
Just now, the giant python's head was only a fist's distance away from Li Changge.
If Liekai hadn't intervened in time, he would probably be in heaven by now.
Still shaken, his legs trembled as he walked.
"Moo, moo."
Old Zi suddenly called out in a low voice, his tone somewhat urgent.
"What's wrong?"
Li Changge was puzzled. Lao Zi was usually very well-behaved, so why was he acting so strangely now?
"Moo".
Lao Zi nudged Li Changge with his head, signaling him to look ahead.
Is there anything ahead?
Li Changge walked forward quickly, but just to be on the safe side, he had Lie Kai clear a path for him.
With the cracked barrier protecting him, Li Changge moved forward smoothly, but Lao Zi did not stop either.
The man and the two beasts walked forward at an extremely fast speed, as if something was attracting them.
Ten minutes later, Lao Zi stopped and grinned at the darkness ahead.
Have we arrived?
Li Changge looked back and found that the situation here was on the top of a desolate mountain ridge, much farther away from where he had just been.
"Old Zi, what's up ahead?"
"Moo, moo, moo."
"It said there was treasure ahead."
The system was quite perceptive; knowing Li Changge would ask it, it anticipated this and spoke first.
"Holy crap? The Azure Bull Python also has treasure-hunting capabilities?"
Li Changge said in surprise.
If he had known that Lao Zi had this characteristic, he would have melted down the Treasure-Finding Ruler. Li Changge has never used that thing since he caught it.
"Yes, the Azure Bull Python is naturally sensitive to treasures."
Upon receiving the system's affirmative answer, Li Changge became even more excited, and his gaze towards Lao Zi suddenly turned strange.
"Moo".
Old Zi roared to the sky, his cry carrying a warning undertone.
Its body then swelled, quickly growing into a beast twice the height of two people.
The Azure Bull Python had no legs, but Lao Zi relied on the swinging of its tail to move forward.
"Don't go, it's dangerous ahead."
Just as Li Changge was about to follow, the system reminded him.
The system then added, "This is what the Azure Bull Python said."
Li Changge stopped and watched Lao Zi continue walking forward.
But ahead was a vast, flat area, and Li Changge was very curious about what Lao Zi had discovered.
"roar!"
Old Zi's cry was unusual; during his third low roar, a ripple appeared out of nowhere in the open space.
Then the ripples disappeared, and a sky-blue cave appeared before Li Changge.
"Holy crap! Is this some kind of magic trick?"
Li Changge was utterly shocked and couldn't help but swear again.
With his intelligence and experience, he could never have imagined such a miraculous scene.
"Host, stay calm. You may see similar scenes often in the future, or even more miraculous ones," the system said calmly.
Li Changge remained silent, but his clenched fists spoke volumes.
He is bound to accomplish something great.
"Don't go too far."
A large, sky-blue snake emerged from the sky-blue cave.
"This doesn't really look like a snake. How come it has two legs?"
This reminded Li Changge of the four-legged snake from his previous life.
[Excellent-grade Beast: Blue Crystal Python]
[Origin: Unknown. Legend has it that they are a branch of the Azure Bull Python, possessing formidable strength, capable of fighting opponents of a higher level. They are known for their violent and warlike nature, and are characterized by a pair of legs on their abdomen.]
"No wonder Lao Zi reacted; it turns out he encountered someone from his own clan," Li Changge suddenly realized.
