222: Venomous horned python

The Lin Family members were all a bit nervous at this moment. The Cultivator's Immortal Cave was right before their eyes, visible but untouchable, leaving them hesitant and filled with regret.

Lin Shiming raised both hands, making a gesture to prepare for retreat.

Facing a Poison Flood Dragon, even a newborn one, was not something they could withstand.

What's more, with so many Golden Core Demon Kings in the Qingyun Mountain Range, if this Poison Flood Dragon were the offspring of one of those Demon Kings, the entire Yunzhou wouldn't be able to bear that kind of wrath.

Lin Xianzhi also nodded. Although the group didn't speak, they tacitly prepared to retreat. As for the two Spirit Zombies, even with Lin Shiming's Corpse Manipulation Technique suppressing them, they clearly showed resistance and reluctance in their eyes.

But at this moment, Lin Shiming wouldn't care about them. If the two Spirit Zombies couldn't be used, they would naturally be left to be engulfed by the Poison Flood Dragon's wrath.

"Please kill the Highly Poisonous Horned Python. You will have a certain chance to obtain a Snake Egg that can transform into a Flood Dragon!"

However, just then, the System's prompt appeared, causing Lin Shiming to be stunned.

The System's prompt did not mention a Poison Flood Dragon, but rather a Horned Python.

Although both Horned Pythons and Poison Flood Dragons have horns, the difference is enormous!

Even a dozen Third-tier Horned Pythons are no match for a single Poison Flood Dragon.

And the reward, let alone a Snake Egg with a slight possibility of transforming into a Flood Dragon.

One must know that Lin Shiming possessed the Bloodline Ancestral Return Secret Method. If he could obtain some Flood Dragon blood, or some relatively powerful Python blood, it might be possible to transform that snake into a Flood Dragon.

Having a Flood Dragon Spirit Beast would absolutely make his cultivation path and future battles much smoother.

A normal adult Spirit Flood Dragon is at least a Purple Mansion existence, and if its Bloodline is a bit thicker, it could even be a Golden Core Demon King.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, these two Spirit Zombies are so eager, and the Poison Flood Dragon hasn't appeared. Could there be another hidden reason?" Lin Shiming transmitted his voice to Seventh Grand Uncle.

At this moment, Seventh Grand Uncle's expression also changed somewhat. What Lin Shiming said was not unreasonable.

Powerful Yao Beasts value their territory greatly. Let alone being invaded by human Cultivators, even if a fellow creature entered without reason, they would fight to the death.

Of course, Lin Xianzhi thought so, but he remained hesitant.

An Immortal Cave of unknown contents was naturally not worth the risk.

The Lin Family now not only possessed a Third-tier High Grade Spiritual Vein but also a Third-tier Gintetsu Crystal ore vein. The Family's Geniuses were also flourishing with each generation, so there was no need to take this risk.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming also understood Seventh Grand Uncle's concerns.

But he couldn't reveal the System's prompt.

The Lin Family group continued to retreat, and Lin Shiming was no exception.

"No good, Seventh Grand Uncle! The Corpse Manipulation Technique is out of control!" Lin Shiming suddenly exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock, as he continuously cast Spirit Arts with his hands.

Yet it was still useless. The two Spirit Zombies, as if stimulated, rushed towards the swampy area and violently began to tear at the Poison Flood Dragon Vine.

"Retreat quickly!" Seventh Grand Uncle shouted!

The group no longer cared about anything else.

And at this moment, with a loud boom from the swamp, a colossal creature indeed emerged, its huge head lunging towards the two Spirit Zombies.

Boom!

The Green-haired Zombie was bitten with a cracking sound. If it were an ordinary Cultivator, they might have died on the spot, but the Green-haired Zombie's physical strength was that of a Third-tier Medium Grade, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Body Cultivator. It was just that Lin Shiming's Corpse Manipulation Technique couldn't fully unleash its Physical Body strength.

The Spirit Leopard Spirit Zombie, on the other hand, was flung dozens of meters away by the giant creature's tail.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, it's not a Poison Flood Dragon, it's a Third-tier Late Stage Horned Python putting on a show!" Lin Shiming exclaimed excitedly.

At this moment, Seventh Grand Uncle and the others also saw the creature's form.

It was an incredibly huge Highly Poisonous Horned Python. Countless toxins flowed over its body, appearing like layers of scales. Beneath its belly, no claws were visible. On the Horned Python's head, there was a protruding bump, as if it could swell at any moment. Its massive python mouth only had two enormous snake fangs.

The Lin Family members immediately stopped. The two Spirit Zombies were quickly beaten by the Horned Python, losing all their Spirit Light, and much of their fierce aura dissipated.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, we can try!" Lin Shiming shouted loudly.

Then, the Crushing God Plate flew out from his hand, transforming into a giant mountain-like form, and pressed towards the Highly Poisonous Horned Python.

The Horned Python immediately roared in anger. With a wide-open mouth, a black water column suddenly sprayed out, rushing towards the Crushing God Plate.

The water column was extremely venomous. The air immediately began to sizzle, as if being corroded.

Upon impacting the Crushing God Plate, it also began to constantly corrode the Crushing God Plate's Spirit Light.

However, the Crushing God Plate continued towards the Highly Poisonous Horned Python.

Lin Shiming felt a pang of heartache just watching, as this Crushing God Plate was one of the best among Third-tier High Grade Magical Artifacts.

Lin Shiming once again released a full thirty-six Flying Swords, forming four small Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formations, and slashed towards the Highly Poisonous Horned Python.

On the other side, Lin Xianzhi also drew his sword at this moment. The Azure Lotus Sword Light was extremely dense, transforming into sharp azure-gold sword lotuses that fiercely slashed out.

The Highly Poisonous Horned Python immediately let out another angry roar. Then, its massive tail violently thrashed in the swamp, sending countless toxic water and mud flying, covering the sky and earth as it went towards the sword lotuses.

For a time, the Horned Python battled Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming.

Meanwhile, Lin Houyong and the others nearby gave a wry smile. They realized at this moment that they couldn't intervene in the battle between the few of them.

They could only stand by, throwing out various Spirit Talismans, causing the Horned Python some minor trouble.

However, at some unknown point, some Spirit Snakes reappeared in the swamp.

The few of them then began to control their Magical Artifacts and engaged in battle with those Third-tier and Second-tier venomous snakes.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, this Horned Python's strength seems to be affected by something else!" Lin Shiming spoke again. Of course, he knew in his heart that this Horned Python had likely just laid a Snake Egg, and its strength was not at its Peak, but he couldn't tell Seventh Grand Uncle this.

"Indeed, Shiming. I'll hold it off, you deliver the fatal blow!" Lin Xianzhi nodded, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Although this Horned Python wasn't a Flood Dragon, it could be considered a semi-Flood Dragon. The toxic liquid flowing over its body resembled a Flood Dragon's, and it had horns. Beneath its belly, there was even a fleshy lump.

Of course, while this Horned Python was only a few steps away from a Flood Dragon, this gap was like an unbridgeable chasm.

After speaking, Lin Xianzhi once again pointed with his sword. Two High Grade Magical Swords shot out, their dense sword light intertwining into a dense sword net, leaving the Highly Poisonous Horned Python with no way to block it.

The Horned Python immediately let out another angry roar, spraying out countless toxins.

It wanted to corrode the sword net, but as soon as the sword net opened, it was met by a giant Crushing God Plate.

Along with the Spirit Shocking Drum, a dual Divine Sense attack, and the Soul Splitting Blade.

This caused the Highly Poisonous Horned Python to roar in pain repeatedly.

Its body continuously rolled in the swamp, stirring up monstrous toxic waves.

Lin Xianzhi and Lin Shiming simultaneously tensed. At this moment, the Spirit Shields around them were all corroded away. They had no choice but to take out several more Clear Miasma Pills and activate their inner armor to resist the potent toxins.
