111: Chapter 111 This kneeling was so smooth, even a fifth-tier demon exclaimed that it was expert!
Upon hearing these two sentences, the faces of the two instantly turned from white to green, then from green to purple.
Shame!
Extreme shame!
The embarrassing incident that occurred in that small wooden cabin was the biggest stain on their lives. They had assumed that as long as they escaped, no one would know.
But now... they had actually been watched the entire time!
"You... how do you know?!"
Diamond Five shrieked in terror, his eyes darting around: "Who exactly are you! Are you some old geezer from Magic City Martial Arts University hiding here to spy on us?!"
"Spying?"
The voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a suffocating pressure of a superior: "If this seat wanted to watch, there is no place in this swamp that I cannot see."
"As for you two..."
"Hmph, you shameful things."
As soon as the words fell, the space in front of the two suddenly split like water ripples.
A pair of enormous, vertically-slit pupils emitting a faint green light slowly opened in the void.
In those eyes, there was not a trace of human emotion, only the indifference of looking at ants, as well as deep mockery.
Following that, a man dressed in black robes, with a slender figure and a sinister, pale face, stepped out from the void.
He did not have any earth-shattering entrance special effects.
But with every step he took, the surrounding poisonous mist automatically retreated, as if surrendering to this king.
Tier 5 Great Demon — Bone-Eroding Venomous Python.
Feeling the undisguised Tier 5 demonic power emanating from the other party, the legs of Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five instantly turned to jelly.
As seasoned spineless cowards... oh no, as strategic experts who assess the situation.
The two looked at each other, once again displaying astonishing tacit understanding.
"Thump!"
That extremely smooth, practiced kneeling motion seemed to have been carved into their DNA.
"Great King, spare our lives!!"
Plum Blossom Three kowtowed like a pestle pounding garlic: "Great King! We... we were just passing by! Really, just passing by! We have no covetous intentions toward your territory!"
Diamond Five followed closely behind, not even caring about the pain in his broken arm: "Right, right, right! We are just lost lambs! We accidentally intruded into your sacred territory, we beg the Great King to show mercy and spare our lives!"
At this moment, where was there any trace of their previous arrogance? Only extreme fear remained toward this Tier 5 Great Demon before them.
That was a Tier 5!
An existence that could slap them into meat paste with a single palm!
Poison Python did not make a move immediately, but instead looked at the two with a scrutinizing, playful, and eerie gaze.
"The grievances you two suffered in that small wooden cabin, this seat saw clearly from within the Subspace."
"Serving tea and pouring water, cutting pickled vegetables... tsk tsk tsk, you really lost all face for villains."
Although Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five were ashamed and indignant, they still hurriedly explained: "Great King, please see clearly, we two were also coerced by that fox demon in the house."
Plum Blossom Three sobbed while secretly observing Poison Python's expression: "That fox demon's methods are ruthless, she strikes at the slightest disagreement. My brother and I were only forced to endure temporarily in order to preserve our strength, thinking of taking revenge in the future!"
Diamond Five also hurriedly chimed in: "That's right, Great King! We hate that fox demon and that youth to the bone! Not only did they humiliate us, but they also ruined an important plan of our Wusheng Divine Sect!"
"If the Great King can help us take revenge, we brothers are willing to go through fire and water for you, and will not refuse!"
These two attempted to shift the trouble, wanting to have this Tier 5 Great Demon, who had appeared out of nowhere, focus his attention on Jiang You and Bai Lan.
Mentioning Bai Lan, a look of extreme disdain and disgust appeared on Poison Python's face:
"Hmph, Bai Lan?"
"That disgrace to the demon race, a piece of trash."
"She has the bloodline of a top-tier divine beast, yet she is a brainless idiot."
"Back during the Great Human Purge, she actually foolishly ran to the humans to ask for food. As a result, those humans not only didn't kill her, but they even built her a house to keep her in captivity, treating her like a mascot!"
"She betrayed the demon race and defected to the humans; she has long been the public enemy of our demon race."
Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five looked at each other, both seeing a trace of wild joy in the other's eyes. It seems this Poison Python and Bai Lan also have a grudge; this is simply heaven helping us!
"Ptui!"
Plum Blossom Three immediately hatched another plan, suddenly shouting loudly, which gave Poison Python a start.
"I, Plum Blossom Three, have always looked down on such cowardly people who fear death!"
"To actually betray our demon race and defect to the evil humans, she is simply a disgrace to our demon race!"
"Great King, you must have been leading our demon race in resisting the evil humans all this time! You have really worked hard!"
Poison Python was momentarily stunned by what Plum Blossom Three said; he couldn't react for a long time as to who exactly was the demon race.
"Uh... actually, no, I just hid away and haven't been discovered, that's all."
Plum Blossom Three: "..."
Diamond Five: "..."
Seeing the expressions on the two, Poison Python felt a bit embarrassed.
After first slapping Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five across the face twice each, he explained to the two with swollen faces:
"Decades ago, when I was still a Tier 4 little snake, I awakened this unique [Subspace Stealth] talent."
"At that time, the first batch of pioneers from Magic City Martial Arts University broke in and wantonly slaughtered my kin."
"I watched helplessly as those arrogant Demon Kings were slaughtered by human grandmasters, turned into weapons, and stewed into meat soup."
"I was afraid."
Poison Python admitted his cowardice without hesitation:
"So I hid in the Subspace. Even after I broke through to Tier 5 and became the strongest existence in this world, I still didn't show my head."
"Because I knew that outside, there were human Tier 5 Grandmasters, or even stronger existences guarding."
"As long as I showed my head, I would immediately be caught as a pet, or have my skin peeled off to make a belt."
Speaking up to here, Poison Python's eyes became sinister and cunning:
"However, I wasn't idle."
"Over these decades, I have often taken advantage of when you humans open instances to secretly catch a few lone students or teachers and drag them into the Subspace... to chat."
"From their mouths, I learned what a mobile phone is, what the internet is, and I have heard of your Wusheng Divine Sect's name, and even more so, I know the strength of Magic City Martial Arts University."
"So..."
Poison Python pointed to his own head:
"I don't call this hiding; this is called wisdom."
"I read it in fantasy novels; this is called — The Dao of Survival!"
Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five listened, dumbfounded.
What the...
Is this a cultured snake?
Or a snake who practices the Dao of Survival?
This endurance, this intelligence-gathering ability, it's simply more professional than them, the professional undercover agents!
"Then... then Great King, you are appearing now because..."
Plum Blossom Three asked tentatively, his voice trembling.
Poison Python put away his reminiscent expression and stared intensely at the two:
"Because I have always wanted to go out."
"I have also been waiting for an opportunity!"
"I am sick of this ghost place that only has mud and poisonous insects!"
"But I know that with my current strength, if I go out, I will be caught immediately. There are probably many masters outside watching. The human world has too many experts, and I cannot beat them."
Poison Python pointed at the two:
"Your Wusheng Divine Sect should also be at odds with Magic City Martial Arts University, right?"
"The enemy of an enemy is a friend."
"Let's join forces."
Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five heard this and were overjoyed.
This is a powerful backer falling from the sky!
A Tier 5 Great Demon, and an old schemer proficient in space and intelligence!
Isn't this much more reliable than that silly fox who only knows how to eat potato chips?
"Join forces! We must join forces!"
Diamond Five didn't care about his hand pain and hurriedly pledged his loyalty:
"Great King! We will listen to you!"
"Whatever you say to do, we will do it!"
"However..."
Plum Blossom Three's eyes rolled, remembering the previous encounter, and he said through gritted teeth:
"Great King, before we do big things, can we first deal with that pair of dogs and humans in the small wooden cabin?"
"Especially that vixen! She... she is also Tier 5, she might be a trouble when the time comes!"
Poison Python licked his lips, greedy green light flashing in his eyes:
"This seat has long wanted to swallow her!"
"As long as I swallow her bloodline, I can break through the bottleneck of the mid-Tier 5, and rush directly to the late stage, or even the peak of Tier 5!"
"At that time, even if I face that old geezer Principal Pang Ban, I will have the power to fight!"
"However..."
"There is a formation set up by that old geezer Principal Pang Ban around that small wooden cabin. If I attack by force, I will inevitably attract the human Grandmasters from outside."
"Once I am flanked from front and back, this seat will not fare well."
