72: Ancient python bird! Python bird swallows dragon!

The White Ape was very strong, posing a significant threat to it.

If not for its extreme speed, it would have been severely injured, if not killed, by a single strike from the White Ape's iron rod.

"We are both of the Yao Race, why do you kill me?" it questioned.

"Why do you injure people?" The White Ape held its iron rod, its gaze chilling.

"I just woke up, my mind is a bit unclear," it said. "That was a misunderstanding."

Bang!

The White Ape attacked again, its iron rod smashing down fiercely.

Su Yu's expression changed, and he quickly retreated.

"Is Sister Lin injured?" Su Yu was startled and hurried towards the location where help was needed.

"Sister Lin!" Su Yu saw Lin Zi lying on the ground, blood at the corner of her mouth.

The Big Black Dog appeared at some unknown time, silently guarding her side, preventing anyone from approaching.

Seeing that it was Su Yu, the Big Black Dog turned its head away, feeling somewhat guilty.

"How are your injuries?" Su Yu asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, just some internal injuries. Half a month of rest should be enough," Lin Zi said. "That Python-Peacock held back, otherwise, I would have been dead for sure."

Hearing this, Su Yu finally relaxed. Half a month of rest meant the injuries were not severe.

"Sister Lin, you said that was a Python-Peacock?" Su Yu asked.

He really didn't know that.

"A sparrow's head and a python's body, there's no mistake, it should be a Python-Peacock! This thing is very powerful!" Lin Zi seemed to finally regain some strength, stood up, and looked into the distance, speaking softly.

Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled, black light illuminated the sky, and a vast Dragon's might spread out.

"Haha, this Dragon is finally out! Mortals, tremble! Today, I shall feast! Men to one side, women to the other, children in the middle! I'll eat the children first!"

A Black Dragon appeared in mid-air, incredibly arrogant.

Clearly, someone else had dug up a Dragon.

But suddenly, the Black Dragon saw the Python-Peacock fighting the White Ape, and its expression drastically changed.

"Damn it!"

"A Magni-Ancient Pythonic Sparrow, why is there a Magni-Ancient Pythonic Sparrow here?"

The Black Dragon's expression was panicked; it didn't care about eating people at all and turned around to flee.

Just then, the Python-Peacock's attack forced the White Ape to retreat.

The next moment, the Python-Peacock turned to look at the Black Dragon, saliva dripping from its mouth, its eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Heaven is truly good to me; as soon as I awaken, a delicious meal is delivered right to my doorstep!"

It turned to the White Ape and said, "You know my identity. I have no interest in humans, nor any appetite for them. I only want to devour Dragons!"

Boom!

The Python-Peacock chased after the Black Dragon, and soon, a gaping maw covered half the sky.

The Black Dragon, which had fled to the horizon, let out a miserable cry and was swallowed whole by the Python-Peacock.

It didn't even have a chance to struggle; this Python-Peacock seemed to have a method specifically to restrain it.

"Python-Peacock Devouring Dragon, it's actually true," Lin Zi murmured as she looked up at this scene.

"Python-Peacock Devouring Dragon?" Su Yu frowned.

"Legend has it that in the Magni-Ancient Era, there was a powerful creature called the Python-Peacock. They specialized in eating Dragons!" Lin Zi explained.

"The Magni-Ancient Era, what era was that?" Su Yu asked again.

"I don't know, I only read about it in books. But it must have been a very, very long time ago!" Lin Zi said.

Su Yu was silent.

Very, very long, how long was that?

"Sister Lin, goodbye! I still need to continue digging for treasure maps!" Seeing that Lin Zi was fine, Su Yu waved and quickly left.

As for the White Ape, it merely glanced at the distant Magni-Ancient Pythonic Sparrow and then at the merely injured Lin Zi. It did not pursue but returned to the Night Watcher Branch.

Su Yu, carrying the treasure map, searched for places to dig in the City Center.

"Here is a piece of a Star-Picking Tower tile; it is unremarkable…"

"Here is a strand of Daji's fallen hair; through countless years, it has become an ordinary strand of hair!"

"Inside is a green mountain, lush with greenery…"

"Here grows a peach tree from Flower-Fruit Mountain, but it has withered. Perhaps countless years later, it may still have a chance to revive…"

"This is a pebble stepped on by Jiang Ziya when he fished by the Wei River; it is unremarkable and possesses no divine properties!"

...

Su Yu ran to over a dozen places, but none of them were useful.

"Keep digging!"

Su Yu changed locations, took out a treasure map, and focused his gaze.

"Here slumbers a Starry Sky Behemoth, three thousand kilometers long. If it descends, the apocalypse will befall the Global!"

Looking at the golden text, Su Yu was shocked.

What kind of Starry Sky Behemoth could be three thousand kilometers long???

Unimaginable.

"How could I dare to dig here? And I wouldn't dare to sell it to anyone either!"

Su Yu turned and left.

"Here is an Advanced treasure map…"

Upon arriving at the next location, Su Yu was surprised. He hadn't expected to be able to dig up an Advanced treasure map using a treasure map.

This was definitely a gain.

Su Yu immediately used the treasure map, and a space appeared. Inside, an Advanced treasure map lay quietly.

Putting the Advanced treasure map into his backpack, Su Yu secretly thought, "I now have one super treasure map and three Advanced treasure maps! Unfortunately, they are all quite far away, otherwise, I would go dig them up now."

Su Yu was very happy.

Although he hadn't dug up any treasures, at least he wasn't at a loss.

"Su Yu!"

Suddenly, Su Yu heard a familiar voice, turned around, and saw Lei Gang covered in mud, looking quite disheveled.

"Captain Lei, what happened to you?" Su Yu asked in surprise.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Didn't heaven reward us with treasure maps?" Lei Gang said, "After getting the treasure maps, I immediately went to dig for treasure."

"Out of 50 treasure maps in total, I didn't dig up a single thing."

"Zombies appeared 30 times, Mermaids appeared 5 times, but they weren't Mermaids at all, they were clearly fish-headed people! Beasts appeared 5 times, and 9 times, there was nothing at all, they were all empty. The last treasure map, I dug up a mudslide, which buried me directly!"

Lei Gang felt exhausted, and even a little like crying.

50 treasure maps, and not a single thing dug up, it was too frustrating.

"My condolences!" Su Yu didn't know how to comfort him and said, "Your luck is really bad, isn't it? How about I sell you 10 treasure maps?"

"Really?!" Lei Gang said, his face full of joy. "I came to find you precisely because I wanted to buy treasure maps. You killed several War Emperors, so you must have a lot of treasure maps. Sell me some!"

"I've dug 50 maps, and 90% of the dangers have already appeared. If I continue digging, I'm very likely to dig up something good!"

"Alright!" Su Yu rummaged through his backpack and quickly took out 10 treasure maps, handing them to Lei Gang very straightforwardly. "Two million in total, just transfer the money to me."

"Su Yu, you're so good! You're my true brother from another mother and father!" Lei Gang transferred 2 million to Su Yu and turned to leave.

Su Yu stood behind him, waving, "Captain Lei, you can come find me again after you've finished digging!"

"Okay." Lei Gang felt touched.

A moment later, Lei Gang arrived at the location marked on the treasure map. Without any hesitation, he immediately used the treasure map.

A space appeared.

In an instant, a burst of Buddha's light radiated out, illuminating all directions.
