170: Chapter 170 Don't run away, your flesh is delicious

The Mythical Serpent, which was just now acting all high and mighty, suddenly stiffened upon hearing these words, and its escape speed became even faster.

It now had only one thought, and that was to get as far away from this terrifying two-legged beast as possible!

epic grade pressure was no joke!

That was absolute power that could take its life!

It couldn't understand when such a harbinger of death had arrived in this sea area.

Weren't those two-legged beasts from before just a bunch of weak creatures that weren't even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth?

"Still trying to run?" Li Taiping chuckled and waved his large hand casually.

In the next moment, an invisible giant palm instantly pierced through the barriers of space, arriving first despite being launched later, and firmly grabbed one of the Mythical Serpent's two tails!

"Screech—!"

The Mythical Serpent let out a cry of pain and struggled frantically.

Its massive body stirred up monstrous waves on the sea's surface, and scorching flames erupted from its mouth, boiling the surrounding seawater.

However, all of this was in vain.

That invisible giant hand was like the sturdiest cage in the world; no matter how it struggled, it couldn't budge it in the slightest.

This wasn't over yet.

Li Taiping's gaze turned cold, and the spatial power gripping its tail suddenly tightened, then began to envelop the Mythical Serpent's entire body.

Space was being continuously compressed!

"Crack! Crack!"

A series of tooth-aching bone-cracking sounds crackled from inside the Mythical Serpent's body.

Under the terrifying spatial pressure, its massive body was forcibly squeezed and deformed, letting out an agonizing wail.

Li Taiping gave it no chance at all; with a casual gesture, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Pagoda manifested from Hong Youwu's Talent instantly appeared in his hand.

It grew as it met the wind,

turning into a giant tower the size of a small mountain. With a terrifying aura that could suppress all things, it directly drew the Mythical Serpent inside.

Immediately after, he took out a special item obtained from a certain dungeon—the Golden Silk Birdcage.

This was an incredibly gorgeous golden birdcage, but it was an Excellent Grade item with a powerful binding effect.

Li Taiping released the Mythical Serpent, which had just been suppressed to the brink of death by the Exquisite Pagoda, from the tower,

and then, like throwing a dead dog, he tossed it directly into that small golden cage.

Strangely enough, as soon as the Mythical Serpent entered the cage, it rapidly shrank to the size of a palm, unable to move while locked inside.

Capturing it without killing it wasn't because Li Taiping had a sudden burst of kindness and wanted to domesticate it, nor was it because he wanted to keep it as some rare ornamental creature.

It was because...

The moment the Mythical Serpent appeared, He Yushui, like a little glutton, had been salivating while firmly shaking Li Taiping's arm, whispering:

"Captain Brother, catch it! Don't let it get away!

Ancient records state that this exotic beast called the Mythical Serpent has extremely delicious meat and is very nourishing!

Especially... it also tonifies the kidneys!"

Thus, the scene just now occurred.

That was why Li Taiping hadn't hesitated to release his epic grade aura, capturing this unlucky fellow swiftly and decisively with the force of a thunderbolt.

Well, he definitely wasn't so proactive because he heard the words "tonify the kidneys."

He was purely... craving that delicious meat.

The poor regional overlord of the Shanhai Area had, for no apparent reason, become a meal delivered right to someone's door.

The Mythical Serpent locked in the cage trembled all over as it looked at He Yushui's eyes, which were glowing green not far away.

From that woman's eyes, it saw the purest desire for food!

And the little fox on the other side of the deck appeared even more dazed now.

Its whole body was even trembling slightly, its eyes filled with fear and lingering dread.

It had always thought that with its peak Excellent Grade strength, as one of the undisputed overlords of this area, it had nothing to fear in these waters, so it had always been carefree and lived a very elegant life.

But... but what was the deal with that two-legged beast just now?

He... how could he suppress its old rival so casually?

That was the Mythical Serpent!

The Mythical Serpent it had fought for over a hundred years, where neither could defeat the other!

Just like that... captured? And going to be eaten?

What... what kind of pirate ship is this?!

What the hell kind of pirate ship did I get on!

Inside the Ice Spirit Jade Fox's little head, things were currently a mess.

Was its own little life... also forfeit?

The more it thought, the more afraid it became, and its body trembled even more violently.

Luckily... luckily it was clever just now and established some kind of equal covenant...

Contract! Yes! A contract!

Thinking of this, it felt as if it had grabbed the last straw of hope.
