Finding the Sky-Swallowing Python

"What's the rush? I haven't rested enough yet. Let me rest a bit more before we continue to the next Great Yao's territory. You both know that the Great Yao of the Yao Race are very ferocious. I need to be well-rested if I want to escape from their clutches, right?"

Xiao Feng looked at the two anxious fellows leisurely, not taking their persuasion to heart at all.

Seeing time pass day by day, the two Yao finally could not help themselves.

"My Lord, I heard there is a Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python nearby, and he has a piece of ming jade in his possession. I heard that this ming jade can multiply a Cultivator's cultivation base, though I don't know if it's true or not."

One day, half a month later, the Bird Demon suddenly crept up to Xiao Feng, cautiously revealing the information to him.

"Is what you said true?" Xiao Feng naturally knew they were deliberately putting on an act in front of him, but that did not stop him from pretending to be very interested in the ming jade.

"Of course, My Lord. My loyalty to you is visible to the heavens and earth; I would absolutely never deceive you. It is precisely because the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python has the ming jade in his hands that he has become such a renowned existence among the Great Yao!"

The Bird Demon looked earnest, trying to trick Xiao Feng into hurrying to the Devouring Sky Python's territory.

"My cultivation has reached a Bottleneck again. If I can obtain the ming jade, my strength will surely increase once more. It seems I must visit the Devouring Sky Python's territory."

Xiao Feng acted as if he had been lured, finally speaking the words the two Yao wanted to hear.

However, after the blow from the Nine-Headed Lion, the Bird Demon and Taowu realized one thing: they must absolutely not let Xiao Feng find an opportunity to trade with the Great Yao.

Xiao Feng had things that could help the Nine-Headed Lion, so he must surely have things that could help other Great Yao as well!

Although the ming jade was useful to the Devouring Sky Python, what if Xiao Feng could produce something even more useful? Wouldn't he then form a friendship with another Great Yao?

Therefore, when Xiao Feng packed his things and prepared to seek out the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python, the Bird Demon spoke again: "My Lord, do you intend to find that Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python and snatch the ming jade from his hands?"

Xiao Feng deliberately acted confused and said: "Since that ming jade is his, why would I need to snatch it from his hands? Naturally, I intend to trade with him. If I can exchange for the ming jade, that would be for the best."

The Bird Demon immediately became serious: "My Lord, you absolutely must not! This Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python is not the same as the Nine-Headed Lion. The Nine-Headed Lion does not have much hatred for the Human Race; at most, he just dislikes the Human Race appearing in his territory."

"But this Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python swallows every member of the Human Race or Yao Race that enters his territory. After all, the Devouring Sky Python is a cold-blooded animal."

"In his territory, no other Yao Race can survive. Moreover, he is ferocious and tyrannical by nature. If you are not prepared, My Lord, you might very well be ambushed by him!"

After listening to the Bird Demon's words, Xiao Feng kept a straight face, acted surprised, and asked: "Since you understand this Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python, you must also know his temperament. Is his temperament truly as tyrannical as you say?"

Seeing that Xiao Feng had taken the bait, the Bird Demon suppressed a smile of success, nodded solemnly, and said: "Actually, based on your current cultivation, My Lord, dealing with the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python would not be difficult."

"You don't need to waste words with him, My Lord. Just defeat him directly and snatch the ming jade from his hands. In any case, that is how the Yao Race has always acted."

Xiao Feng acted worried: "But I am a member of the Human Race after all. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to cause such a huge commotion in the Yao Race's territory?"

Taowu spoke up from the side: "It's as if the commotion you caused before wasn't big enough. Why haven't I ever seen you be this cowardly before?"

Xiao Feng rolled his eyes at the pacing Taowu and then directly stored Taowu into his System space.

Seeing Taowu suddenly disappear, the Bird Demon knew he had been stored in Xiao Feng's contract space.

The Bird Demon had always thought Taowu was Xiao Feng's contract beast.

Now only the Bird Demon remained, but the play had to go on.

The Bird Demon acted terrified, telling Xiao Feng many stories about the Devouring Sky Python slaughtering other Yao Race and swallowing Cultivators alive.

Every story was meant to tell Xiao Feng that trading with the Devouring Sky Python was absolutely unfeasible.

Xiao Feng had long since seen through the little schemes of the Bird Demon and Taowu.

But Xiao Feng did not expose them; instead, he let the Bird Demon lead the way, bringing them smoothly to the territory of the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python.

"It is indeed very quiet, just as you said. There isn't even a single sound."

After arriving at the territory governed by the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python, Xiao Feng quickly released his Divine Sense to briefly scout the area.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, he did not find a single Yao Beast.

"My Lord, how would I dare to deceive you? That Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python is so brutal that no other Yao Beast dares to live in his territory!"

The Bird Demon was naturally afraid of the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python too, but to kill Xiao Feng, he had no choice.

Xiao Feng's Divine Sense continued to expand the scope of his search.

Besides the traces left by the Devouring Sky Python, Xiao Feng did see a few Yao Beasts that had already turned into dry bones.

There were also a few traces left behind from past battles.

This time, the Bird Demon and Taowu had not deceived Xiao Feng; the Devouring Sky Python was indeed not an easy opponent to deal with.

"I have already found the traces of the Devouring Sky Python. Since the ming jade is in his hands, let's go find him directly."

After dropping this sentence, Xiao Feng took the Bird Demon and Zhao Yuwei and headed deep into the Devouring Sky Python's territory.

On the way, after seeing the traces left by the Devouring Sky Python, Zhao Yuwei could not help but exclaim: "Was this entire path pressed out by the Devouring Sky Python passing through? Is his body truly that massive?"

The Bird Demon probably hadn't seen the Devouring Sky Python in a long time either, having only heard of the Devouring Sky Python's reputation.

Now, seeing the jungle ruins that looked like they had been destroyed by something, the Bird Demon could not help but swallow his saliva and stammered: "I have only heard of the fierce reputation of the Ten Thousand Year Devouring Python."

"I haven't seen him either, My Lord. How about we leave quickly? If we happen to anger the Devouring Sky Python, we won't be able to escape!"

Looking at the fear on the Bird Demon's face, Xiao Feng found it somewhat laughable.

Xiao Feng's Divine Sense had already located where the Devouring Sky Python was currently staying.

Seeing the Bird Demon so afraid, Xiao Feng quickly thought of how to wake the Devouring Sky Python from its slumber in a moment!

"We've already walked this far; what a waste of time it would be to turn back now? Besides, this place is on the necessary path for us to leave the Yao Race. We will have to face the Devouring Sky Python sooner or later, so why not let me test his strength first!"

Seeing Xiao Feng so fearless, a rare feeling of regret arose in the Bird Demon's heart.

He always had a bad premonition.

Under Xiao Feng's leadership, the two people and one Yao soon arrived at the place where the Devouring Sky Python was currently resting.

Looking at the Devouring Sky Python curled up in a circle and sleeping, the Bird Demon felt that his small frame would not even be enough to fill the gaps between the Devouring Sky Python's teeth.

He had to ponder how to make Xiao Feng and the Devouring Sky Python fight to the death while ensuring he could escape successfully.
