88: Chapter 88 Bai Shu's Shock
In the valley, snakes danced wildly, and the Snake King's roar resounded through the clouds.
Ji Yebai, however, paid it no mind at all.
He stopped in his tracks, looking backward with some surprise.
There, an aura radiating faint traces of thunder was rapidly approaching.
"Bai Zhu!"
"He actually arrived!"
Ji Yebai muttered to himself.
He had only just slipped into the valley, and Bai Zhu had followed right behind him.
If not for Ji Yebai's confidence that his Divine Sense, which enveloped his body, had not leaked a single trace of his aura, he would have immediately assumed that Bai Zhu had come for him.
Ji Yebai stood motionless, his Divine Sense wrapping around his body even more tightly.
Ji Yebai was also unsure if Bai Zhu had noticed him.
However, he was confident that as long as he didn't move, he shouldn't be easily discovered.
If Bai Zhu were aiming for Ji Yebai, with his Divine Sense focused on searching for a person, then Ji Yebai would have no way to hide.
But looking at Bai Zhu's aura, it was clearly directed at the horned giant python, and his attention was obviously not on Ji Yebai.
With the advantage of being prepared against the unprepared, Ji Yebai was confident he would not be discovered.
"Roar!!!"
The terrifying roar resounded across the heavens and earth.
Immediately after, the ground began to tremble.
Rumble!
The earth rumbled.
The fissures in the valley began to shake, and loose rocks cracked and broke.
The next moment.
Whoosh!
A fierce hurricane howled.
A massive shadow rose up.
"What a huge snake!!"
Bai Zhu looked with surprise at the giant snake crawling out of the large fissure in the valley.
Even he was shocked.
Its snake body was a full three meters wide, its head as large as a bedroom, and its pitch-black scales shimmered with a metallic hue, covered in eerie patterns.
Its body, a full hundred meters long, slowly crawled out of the deep pit, bringing with it some relatively smaller pythons, ten to twenty meters long, which were now rustling and falling off the Snake King's body.
The Snake King reared up, and an aura of tyranny spread wildly.
Its large, pale yellow snake eyes watched the Bai Zhu standing in the Void Realm with cold-blooded indifference.
Its scarlet tongue flickered frantically.
Its entire body was filled with vigilance!
The little bug before it was actually full of a dangerous aura.
"Your level of evolution is so high, why not come back with me to be a guardian Divine Beast, and I will help you awaken your intelligence?!"
Bai Zhu stood suspended in the air, looking at the giant beast before him with burning eyes.
This giant python was as mighty as the Pangu King Snake from a movie Bai Zhu had seen in his youth.
However, even though this giant beast was so intelligent, the will within its body remained insignificant.
"Intelligence is, after all, unique to higher life forms!"
Bai Zhu sighed slightly in regret.
And just as Bai Zhu was sighing in regret, the Snake King was already furious.
Bai Zhu's words, accompanied by his Divine Sense, were transmitted directly into the Snake King's mind, allowing it to understand Bai Zhu's meaning in an instant.
Precisely because of this, the Snake King was instantly enraged.
The dignity of a king must not be insulted!!!
Boom!!!
The massive Snake King exploded with power, like a sharp sword, attacking Bai Zhu in an overwhelming rush!
"Hmm!?"
Bai Zhu frowned slightly.
This giant snake was somewhat unappreciative.
He suddenly extended his hand.
Rumble!
Muffled thunder flashed, and dazzling silver radiance crackled outward.
It transformed into a giant hand of lightning, pressing down towards the Snake King.
"Roar!!!"
A roar came.
The Snake King was instantly electrocuted, its scales standing on end, its entire body trembling uncontrollably.
That was not all.
Its massive body twisted crazily, battering the entire ground until it trembled endlessly.
Clatter!
A patch of rock shattered, falling toward the fissure from which the Snake King had crawled out.
Seeing this scene, not only Bai Zhu, but even Ji Yebai's expression changed.
The fissure was about thirty meters deep, covered in vines on both sides, blooming with blood-red flowers, and there was water at the bottom of the fissure.
At this moment, as the loose rocks fell, some vines were crushed, and the blood-red flowers were scattered everywhere.
"I can't fight here!"
Bai Zhu suddenly lashed out with a palm, and the Snake King's head was immediately slapped hard.
The next moment.
Bai Zhu suddenly retreated backward.
His speed was not fast!
Rumble!
The Snake King's brain wasn't very sharp, and it couldn't tell whether it could win, so it charged straight at Bai Zhu.
Its massive body made the ground tremble.
Watching this scene, a flash of surprise crossed Ji Yebai's eyes.
He didn't expect Bai Zhu to actually lure it away.
This Snake King looked very impressive, but to be honest, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi it absorbed was all used to grow its body; it didn't know how to use Spiritual Qi to augment its attacks at all.
A giant beast of this level was merely a showpiece.
It couldn't even compare to the Qilin in the Wind and Cloud TV series.
At the very least, the Qilin could breathe fire.
"They've both left!?"
Ji Yebai slowly walked to the edge of the fissure.
The fissure was about ten meters wide and about thirty meters deep.
Both sides were covered in blood orchids.
However, the scene at the bottom of the pit gave even Ji Yebai goosebumps.
Countless snake bodies were rolling.
At a glance, a layer of giant pythons was writhing, slithering.
Layer upon layer.
Ji Yebai's Divine Sense swept over, and for a moment, he couldn't even calculate exactly how many snakes there were.
Mating!
On every female python, four or five male pythons were coiled, their ten-to-twenty-meter bodies twisted into a sphere.
At this moment, looking down, there were at least several hundred python balls.
It made Ji Yebai's scalp tingle.
It wasn't fear!
It was purely psychological disgust.
"Something is wrong, this is very wrong!"
"Even these blood orchids couldn't give birth to so many giant pythons; something must be influencing this place!?"
Ji Yebai frowned, looking at the dense mass of pythons at the bottom of the pit, pondering deeply.
After contemplating for a moment.
Ji Yebai's Divine Sense suddenly expanded, shooting straight towards the bottom of the fissure.
In an instant, his Divine Sense transformed into an invisible and intangible ripple, like a wave of Qi, rolling towards the bottom of the pit.
"This is..."
Ji Yebai's eyes widened suddenly.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhu, who was luring the Snake King, suddenly raised his head.
His expression turned to one of horror as he looked towards the edge of the fissure.
The surging explosion of Divine Sense shocked him beyond measure.
"Divine Sense, it's actually Divine Sense!"
Bai Zhu muttered in shock.
Could it be that there is an Xiantian Expert!?
To this day, he had not yet seen a second Xiantian Expert.
Appearing so suddenly, how could it not shock him?
It must be said that Ji Yebai stealing the five elements spirit beads had changed the world.
In the second year of his previous life, Bai Zhu had already begun using the five elements spirit beads to help Daoist Taixu and Daoist Qingwei cleanse their marrow, and even achieved the Innate realm by the end of the second year.
But in this life, without the five elements spirit beads, even though Bai Zhu began to help the two Daoists, they were lacking quite a bit because they lacked the massive energy.
The two Daoists had only just become First-Class Martial Artists.
Because of this, for the time being, there was still only one Xiantian Expert in the world—Bai Zhu. This also caused the nation to relax a little; they did not urgently launch the Innate Project, and the two Xiantian Experts of the national camp were not born as a result.
As the saying goes, pull one hair and the whole body moves.
If the Daoist sect were to truly produce two more Xiantian Experts, or if another Xiantian Expert appeared in society, the nation would have the determination to pile up resources to create one or two Xiantian Experts to suppress the world.
But as it stood, with only Bai Zhu, if one or two more Xiantian Experts appeared at the national level, the international community would likely not agree!
Based on this, the Innate Project had not yet been launched.
Yet Ji Yebai, who had caused all of this, could no longer be concerned about it!
His expression was filled with shock.
The next moment.
Hum!
The Five Elements Power vibrated, transforming into a sphere of light that enveloped Ji Yebai's entire body.
Ji Yebai leaped, sinking to the bottom of the pit.
In an instant.
The dense mass of pythons coiled around him crazily.
