"A thousand years ago, Dad, you went to all the river basins and asked around. Everyone from the three religions to the nine sects, including the river gods, would know your son's name!"
Jiang Chen was even surprised. He thought it was a wild python that lived alone, but who knew it was actually a social snake?
"Then tell me your name and I'll go find out."
At this moment, Xiao Jiao suddenly became arrogant, sneered like a domineering CEO, and said slowly: "My name is——"
"Iron Pillar!"
When it said its name, the front half of its body involuntarily straightened up, its chest almost reaching the sky, and an indescribable confidence emanated from its whole body.
“…”
Jiang Chen, who always prided himself on his excellent social skills, didn't know how to respond for the umpteenth time today. He was even worried that if this continued, his image would soon collapse.
"No... Tiezhu, are you serious?"
"What? Are you shocked? Dad, you have good vision. Our name has a great origin and is related to a secret from ancient times!"
Jiang Chen scratched his scalp, feeling itchy, as if his brain was about to grow out. He was puzzled. What kind of secret could be so down-to-earth?
"Silly Zhu, don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me what else is wrong. Dad can't bear it if you keep going like this~"
He cried out in pain.
Tiezhu grinned and shook his head from side to side with a smug look.
"Dad, you may be very capable, but your vision is too short."
"Do you know that my true form, son, is a species that only existed over a thousand years ago, the Nine-Light Black-Scaled Python. It is extremely rare and magical!"
When Jiang Chen heard the name, it was really a familiar one. Although he didn't know what 䦤 was, he guessed that it was probably a legendary monster like 魃.
"How does your clan compare to the Ba clan?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Tiezhu seemed to have heard something ridiculous and couldn't help laughing: "How can the mere Ba tribe compare to us?"
"Dad, let me tell you this. Back then, if you ran over a dozen hilltops, you might be lucky enough to encounter a Ba. But if you want to find our Nine Lights Black Scale Python, you won't even find a single scale unless you search half of the Nine Provinces!"
This time, Jiang Chen was in awe: "So awesome?"
After all, generally speaking, the rarer the species, the more awesome it is.
He had seen the video of the young Ba escaping, as well as Yan Luo's analysis of it, and understood that although the little creature had just been crowned king, its strength was absolutely terrifying. With the support of its many backgrounds, it would be a huge threat in the future.
It looks like that.
Could this cheap son of mine be even stronger?
"As for the origin of your son's name, it's actually related to the special abilities of our Nine-Light Black-Scaled Python. The most distinctive feature of our clan is its delicious, tender and chewy meat, which remains tender even after long cooking..."
Jiang Chen listened for a long time with his ears perked up, repeatedly confirming, but he didn't hear a single word from the other party that had nothing to do with taste.
He was completely stunned.
I never expected that I would be fooled again.
So your clan is rare mainly because of eating too much?
"Alas, although I am powerful and rare, I am also guilty of possessing a treasure, which has attracted many suitors." Tiezhu continued to talk.
That's called a fucking stalker!
Jiang Chen covered his forehead and couldn't say anything.
"That time, I was chased to a corner and couldn't escape. Before I knew it, I had stumbled into a hidden place."
"There, I saw a dilapidated ruin. Countless black pythons were carved on two tattered stone doors..."
"I hid in a small hole and watched helplessly as a group of humans who had been chasing me died tragically in front of me."
