Everyone held their breath, now just waiting for the demon beast to bite the bait, the surroundings fell into utter silence.
Because of the demon beast’s appearance and the resulting human fatalities, Baixiang Peak was already devoid of people, plunged into deathly stillness. Now with everyone holding their breath as well, it felt as if ti and space had frozen, but they could clearly sense, from beneath the cold pond, the emission of a strong, wild demon aura that was very discomforting.
Ti elapsed, and soon, ten minutes had passed, but there was no sign of movent in the cold pond.
Miss Han Yi asked out of curiosity, "Zhang Qing, could it be that the demon beast is not in the cold pond to begin with?"
"It’s impossible. If it weren’t in the cold pond, we wouldn’t have experienced the unnatural phenona and the ergence of the Demon Winds just now!"
Zhang Qing was very certain as he responded to Han Yi.
Han Yi, frowning, inquired, "But if there really is a demon beast, it’s been ten minutes now, shouldn’t it have co out by this ti?"
Zhang Qing shook his head, "Just be patient, the demon beast is definitely going to show up, I’m sure of it!"
Ti continued to slip by; another ten minutes passed, yet the cold pond remained still without the slightest hint of activity.
At this mont, Zhang Qing and his two martial uncles began to doubt whether the demon beast might have detected their arrival and fled.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~" Just then, a wave of breeze blew over in succession.
The air was filled with wafts of a strange, enticing fragrance, accompanying the petals that drifted down one after another. Over the entirety of Baixiang Peak, with petals dancing in the air, Han Yi couldn’t help but remark, "Such a unique fragrance..."
"Mhm!" Zhang Qing and the others nodded in agreent, expressing their approval, as the fragrance made them feel utterly intoxicated.
Under the influence of the fragrance, their originally taut nerves involuntarily relaxed, their vigilance from earlier diminished, and their gaze grew hazy as if they had forgotten that they were hunting a demon beast at the mont.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud~~" However, just then, the cold pond suddenly started to bubble.
As bubbles continuously rose to the surface, the water of the cold pond began to ripple wave after wave.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~" Subsequently, the cold pond appeared to boil over, with cold mists rising continuously, the temperature around them plumting suddenly, snapping everyone out of their hypnotic state induced by the fragrance.
"It’s coming!" Almost simultaneously, the three n, Zhang Qing and his martial uncles, shouted in alert.
Then, the water in the pond abruptly dipped, casting water in all directions.
"Splash!" With a loud noise, an enormous creature appeared before everyone’s eyes.
"This..." Upon seeing the scene before her, Han Yi’s complexion turned deathly pale—the giant creature was a massive python.
The giant python’s body was extrely thick, as thick as a gasoline barrel, with a huge head and a pair of eyes that emitted a fierce glow, full of spirit, very chilling, as if it was staring at everyone with malevolence.
On the giant python’s enormous head, two spots were bulging out, as if it was about to form a pair of horns.
The scales covering the python’s body glowed with a faint purplish-blue light, very eerie and strange.
And the python’s head had stopped right in front of Ye Feng, his body appeared very small in front of its head, seemingly able to be swallowed whole by the python with just one bite.
"Bishui Spirit Python!" Ye Feng recognized the creature instantly. It was a demon beast with a water attribute, and its Demon Core was particularly suited for dicine, to be used in crafting the Breaking Mirror Pill, because the Bishui Spirit Python’s Demon Core had a very gentle power, making it quite easy to be absorbed.
Ye Feng’s heart surged with excitent, at this mont, the Bishui Spirit Python looked at Ye Feng as if he was a highly appetizing tonic.
But Ye Feng’s gaze at the Bishui Spirit Python was filled with the sa intention. Both saw the other as a nourishing treasure, treating one another like prey to hunt.
However, to Zhang Qing and the others, it seed that Ye Feng was so frightened by the sight of the Bishui Spirit Python that he sat frozen in place, not daring to move, with a look of disdain in his eyes.
"Hiss hiss~~" The Bishui Spirit Python, sticking out its tongue and condensing a terrible wildness, opened its vast maw and lunged at Ye Feng to bite him, but Ye Feng still had a relaxed expression, gazing at the python as it moved closer. Ye Ke and Ye Wu, the two of them, roared in unison.
"Demon spawn! Do not harm anyone!" Almost at the sa ti, Ye Ke and Ye Wu both heightened their energy to the extre.
True Essence surged as Ye Ke and Ye Wu drew the longswords they had brought with them, and the sound of the swords rang through the heavens and earth.
Ye Ke and Ye Wu, with tacit understanding, seed to launch themselves out simultaneously like cannonballs, flying toward the Bishui Spirit Python with True Essence pouring into the longswords in their hands.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ke and Ye Wu had reached the Bishui Spirit Python, both swinging their longswords at the python’s head.
"Clang~~" Instantly, a tallic clang resounded between heaven and earth, sparks flying in all directions.
The powerful wave of True Essence caused the body of the Bishui Spirit Python to be blown out of the icy pond and into the air.
"Boom!" The Bishui Spirit Python, weighing thousands of pounds, landed heavily on the ground.
And there were two clear bloodstains on the forehead of the Bishui Spirit Python.
"Huff~~" Almost at the sa ti, Ye Ke and Ye Wu both breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the Bishui Spirit Python was nowhere near its peak strength at this mont, its power was at most equivalent to a Middle Innate or at the very most Late-stage Innate.
It was only because the Bishui Spirit Python had an incredibly tough body that they were unable to inflict a fatal blow in one strike.
The attention of Han Yi, Zhang Qing, and the others was all focused on the Bishui Spirit Python, yet Ye Feng remained as relaxed as ever, not caring at all, standing up and slowly began to put on his shoes.
Zhang Qing said to Han Yi with full confidence, "Miss Han Yi, don’t worry, I will definitely protect you, and I won’t let that demon beast harm you in the least."
Han Yi nodded subconsciously, after all, it was her first ti seeing a demon beast, and naturally, she was very nervous.
