Ying Yiyi and the others also felt the ground shaking and quickly got up.
They thought it was just a normal earthquake, and after the initial panic, they quickly regained their composure.
"It's just a landslide, Yiyi, don't worry. There are no cliffs where we're resting today, so there won't be any danger," Ying Tai assured him confidently.
Eagle Tai and the Azure Eagle Beastman carried Eagle Yiyi and Mo Bai on their backs, not flying too high, just enough to make sure they wouldn't fall into the crevice.
Anyway, the earth dragon's turn won't last long; we just need to get through those ten or so seconds.
Therefore, Eagle Tai did not find any creatures in the crack.
He considered himself quite experienced in dealing with earthworms turning over.
But in the very next second...
A colossal object burst forth from the ground behind them.
On its huge, slippery head, a pair of green, triangular eyes gleamed with a cold, bloodthirsty light, their gaze fixed on the several delicious orcs on the ground.
The moment he saw the giant python appear, Mo Bai showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a cryptic smile appeared in his eyes.
His youthful face held an expression that seemed out of place for his age.
Before Ying Tai and his group realized the danger approaching, Su Tang, who was not far away, saw the giant python crawling out of the crack, and her pupils involuntarily dilated.
“Over there!” Her voice trembled slightly.
She had never seen such a large python before!
This snake must be mutated! Its tall and enormous body is comparable to a skyscraper. Even if wild animals in the forest are larger than ordinary wild animals, they shouldn't be this big.
Moreover, they weren't even deep in the forest!
Su Tang felt that the scene in front of her was very strange.
"Holy crap!! Where did such a huge snake come from?!" Su Jianyuan couldn't help but curse, and ran in the opposite direction without looking back.
This snake must be a spirit! How could it grow so big?
He estimated that even if they all ate them, it wouldn't be enough to fill the snake's teeth.
Hu Shen and Niu Li followed closely behind. The ground was still shaking, and they needed to protect Su Tang and Si Bao. It was not advisable to confront the giant python head-on at this time.
Su Tang could see very clearly that a long part of the giant python's body was still underground, and it was already this big even before it was fully exposed.
If they all come out, I'm afraid...
Just thinking about that scene sent chills down Su Tang's spine.
She simply couldn't bring herself to like snakes.
Ying Tai sensed something was wrong. "Why is this earth-dragon-turning-over thing taking so long today?"
He looked at the ground with a puzzled expression.
The cracks in the ground seemed particularly large, as if something was trying to burst out from underground, pushing aside the stones and soil.
Just then.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
A cold wind swept in from behind, bringing with it strange noises.
Ying Tai's body stiffened abruptly. This voice... why does it sound so much like a snake beast?
He turned his head stiffly and saw a gaping maw rushing towards them.
"Ahhh!!"
Before one of the Azure Eagle Beastmen could react, he was swallowed whole by the giant python.
"Ah! Brother, it's that snake beast! It's catching up again!" Ying Yiyi screamed.
Ying Tai and another Azure Eagle Beastman snapped back to reality as if struck by lightning, and hurriedly fled with Ying Yiyi and Mo Bai.
Hu Shen and Su Tang and the others discovered it early and had already distanced themselves from them.
Looking back, they saw the giant python swallow a blue eagle beastman whole.
Although she knew that the ancient continent was extremely cruel and realistic, Su Tang still couldn't help but get goosebumps when she saw this scene with her own eyes.
"Boss, let's run before this snake beast notices us!" Ying Jie suggested very rationally.
Hu Shen's expression darkened slightly, and he said coldly, "No, it has been watching us for a long time, and..."
He paused, his gaze falling on the top of the giant python's head.
Two dark bumps had appeared on the smooth snake's head, as if something was about to grow out.
"It is no ordinary snake-beast."
Su Jianyuan also noticed the strange thing on the python's head. "What's wrong with this snake? Does it have a tumor on its head?"
Su Tang glanced at it, a guess flashing through her mind, "It's a python, and it's probably undergoing a metamorphosis. Once it's finished, it will become a dragon."
Although it was just a rumor, the scene before her eyes forced her to believe it.
She had a premonition that once the python transformed into a dragon, its strength would experience a qualitative leap.
Niu Li suddenly realized something, "Could it be that the recent earthworms rolling around in the forest are all caused by this python?!"
Yingjie glanced at him; this stupid ox's brain had been surprisingly clever for once.
The expressions on their faces instantly turned serious.
If it were an ordinary wild animal, it wouldn't be so bad, but if it can make such a commotion, it's probably not going to be easy for them to escape today.
As they were talking, the giant python finished eating a blue eagle beastman. Before the food was even stuck in its teeth, it continued to chase after Yingyi with its eyes shining.
Ying Yiyi smelled the stench approaching from behind and felt as if the top of her head was about to be ripped off.
Turning around, I saw fangs right in front of me.
"Ah! Don't eat me, get out of here..."
Ying Yiyi was so frightened that her legs went weak. Suddenly, she saw the Azure Eagle Beastman flying alongside Ying Tai. She reached out and grabbed Mo Bai, pulling him down.
She had only one thought in her mind: she couldn't die!
This snake beast wants to eat orcs, right? If it eats the orcs, it won't eat her anymore!
Mo Bai offered no resistance and was simply torn off the back of the Azure Eagle Beastman and fell to the ground.
"Eat him, you eat him, don't eat me!" Ying Yiyi shouted, urging Ying Tai to leave quickly.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted, and she stared incredulously at the scene before her.
Mo Bai fell to the ground, rolled around a few times, and his fair face was covered in dust.
He lay on the ground, looked up at Ying Yiyi, and instead of being shocked, his eyes held an evil smile, like a demon child crawling out of hell.
The giant python's head came closer behind him and rubbed against Mo Bai a couple of times, showing no intention of eating him at all; on the contrary, it was unusually affectionate.
It's as if they are brothers.
Ying Yiyi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
“Brother, him! He!” She pointed at Mo Bai, her lips trembling uncontrollably.
Ying Tai then realized that they had been deceived by Mo Bai; he was actually in cahoots with this snake beast!
The thought of losing so many of his people because of this guy made Ying Tai grit his teeth in hatred.
Damn it!
Eagle Tai cursed and flew even more frantically.
The giant python seemed to know that Mo Bai had been thrown down. A hint of anger appeared in its green beastly eyes. Its massive body twisted and it charged toward Ying Tai at an astonishing speed.
"Damn it! If you're going to die, then die already! This kid deliberately lured the giant python this way!"
Su Jianyuan realized Ying Tai's intentions, cursed under his breath, and the group sped up their run.
