Chapter 2059: Ancient Thunder Python
Sensing the malicious gaze from Li Su, Zhou Yu shrugged, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Instead, the young man with the surname Long sneered:
"People from the Demon Clan are cold-blooded!"
After saying this, he looked at Ye Ling and Zhou Yu.
"Two fellow cultivators, you can follow behind me on the road ahead."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Has this young man with the surname Long suddenly changed his nature?
Why is he being so kind?
No, from what Zhou Yu senses, this person would never be so kind, there must be some ulterior motive.
While Zhou Yu was speculating inwardly, Ye Ling smiled slightly.
"Then we’ll trouble Mr. Long."
The young man with the surname Long waved his hand and then looked at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu said calmly:
"Thank you, Mr. Long, for your kindness, but according to the rules we set before, it’s my turn to lead the way next."
Upon hearing this, the young man with the surname Long smirked and said:
"Is that so? What an unlucky coincidence."
"Mr. Zhou, you must be careful!"
Amidst the banter, the pile of vines was finally cleared away.
Then, everyone jumped back onto Xiao Baifeng’s Feather Spiritual Artifact.
This time, Zhou Yu stood at the front.
The others took the opportunity to meditate and cultivate, restoring their states.
Days passed by.
Because of the recent incident where the Feather Spiritual Artifact’s disguise was seen through by the vines, Zhou Yu had been extremely cautious from day one.
He kept his Divine Sense spread out almost all the time, constantly scanning within a ten-mile radius.
On the third day at noon, Zhou Yu stood with his eyes closed, when suddenly, he opened them wide and let out a puzzled sound.
The next moment, Zhou Yu directed his Divine Sense in a specific direction.
When his Divine Sense reached an area about fifty miles away, his expression changed drastically.
"This... how could it be!"
Even though Zhou Yu thought of himself as steady enough, he couldn’t help but show a look of shock at this moment.
Zhou Yu’s unusual reaction immediately alerted the others.
In an instant, the other four appeared behind Zhou Yu.
Li Su said coldly:
"What happened? What’s going on?"
Zhou Yu was just about to speak.
Suddenly, a loud ’boom’ occurred to their left front.
A massive thunderbolt crashed down from the sky.
In a flash, Zhou Yu and the others felt the ground shaking.
Without waiting for Zhou Yu to say more, the other four immediately released their Divine Sense, probing where the thunder struck.
Moments later, their faces, like Zhou Yu’s, were filled with shock and horror.
"What is... that?"
"Could it be a Divine Beast?"
Li Su was extremely frightened.
At the place where the thunder struck, there was a giant python.
The python’s body was as thick as a hundred feet, its length unknown.
Because most of its massive body was submerged beneath the lake’s surface.
However, even the part of the body that was exposed was covered in terrifying Power of Thunder.
Seeing this scene, everyone realized.
It wasn’t that thunder had fallen from the sky onto the giant python.
But rather, the giant python was devouring the Power of Thunder from the sky.
At this moment, Xiao Baifeng seemed to remember something.
Her expression changed dramatically.
"No, it’s the Ancient Thunder Python!"
"This python is an Ancient Strange Species, specialized in devouring the Power of Thunder as sustenance."
While Xiao Baifeng was speaking, a large mass of thunderclouds quickly gathered in the distant sky.
Within the thunderclouds, lightning as thick as an arm crashed loudly.
A dense net of lightning spread rapidly around, like a flood.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Baifeng’s expression changed dramatically.
"Run quickly!"
"The Ancient Thunder Python is already using its thunder-devouring Divine Skills. Once enveloped, we’ll all perish in the thunder."
As she spoke, Xiao Baifeng transformed into her true form.
A white Simurgh, like a flash of lightning, fled into the distance.
Beside her, although Li Su didn’t reveal his true form, a hawk-shaped phantom appeared on him.
With the support of the hawk-shaped phantom, Li Su’s speed was even three times faster than Xiao Baifeng.
Meanwhile, the young man with the surname Long, Ye Ling, and Zhou Yu each used their Secret Techniques to escape.
Just after they left the previous location, barely three breaths later, the terrifying thunderclouds spread over, and their previous location was instantly engulfed in a sea of thunder.
Amidst the barrage of shocking thunder, a colossal Ancient Thunder Python, over a thousand feet long, bathed and rolled within the thunder.
The scene was simply astounding to everyone.
Zhou Yu and the others, exerting all their might, finally escaped the range of the thunderclouds’ coverage.
Standing outside the thunderclouds’ reach, they gazed at the terrifying thunderclouds hundreds of miles away, their expressions filled with uncertainty.
Li Su said solemnly:
"Sister Bai Feng, it’s fortunate you warned us this time!"
"Otherwise, we might have all perished there!"
"By the way, Sister Bai Feng, have you seen this Ancient Thunder Python before?"
An unnoticeable glint appeared in Li Su’s eyes.
Xiao Baifeng shook her head and said:
"The Ancient Thunder Python is ranked high among Ancient Strange Species."
"I never had the chance to witness one myself!"
"Only that an elder from my clan once wounded a juvenile Ancient Thunder Python."
"However, compared to ordinary Ancient Strange Species, the Ancient Thunder Python possesses relatively high Spiritual Wisdom."
"Sensing the danger, that juvenile Ancient Thunder Python used its Innate Divine Ability to escape into the void and eventually got away."
Li Su didn’t believe her words.
He chuckled:
"Is that so?"
"What a pity!"
"If we could kill an Ancient Thunder Python, the items on it would be enough to craft one or two Primordial Ancient Treasures."
Xiao Baifeng shook her head with a smile, saying:
"Maybe."
Then she didn’t say anything more.
But Li Su suddenly looked at Zhou Yu, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Zhou Yu, how were you leading the way?"
"To lead us so close to the Ancient Thunder Python, are you trying to get us killed?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned slightly and replied bluntly:
"Who was it that said every man for himself earlier?"
"Moreover, your speed during our escape was unmatched, simultaneously disrupting the space to hinder others’ escape."
"If anyone were to die, it would probably be us, right?"
Hearing this, the young man with the surname Long, Xiao Baifeng, and Ye Ling all turned their gazes to Li Su.
Li Su didn’t expect that even when fleeing for life, Zhou Yu would have such keen perception.
His expression instantly turned gloomy.
"Kid, I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"But I warn you, this is the only time. Don’t let it happen again!"
After speaking, Li Su turned around, heading backward, then entered the Barrier and disappeared.
Xiao Baifeng and the others snorted coldly, said nothing more, and each entered the Barrier to rest.
Only Zhou Yu remained, glancing at the distant thunderstorm with hesitation in his eyes, seemingly wanting to do something.
But in the end, he gave up.
Then, Zhou Yu activated the Feather Spiritual Artifact and continued on his way!
