Chapter 492 - 654 :The members
"Single him out?"
"Right. All of us single out him alone. After all, the other side is a mid third-rank demonic beast. We have to give him some face."
"Wentian, you really are sinister. But this seat likes it."
The members besieging the old snake in Myriad Snake Valley were Jianyi Bai, Moyue, Jianyi Ying, Jianyi Chonghui, Jianyi Mingyuan, Wentian, Jianyi Mingshu, Jianyi Mingwei, and Jianyi Mingxian.
The true main attackers were Moyue and Jianyi Bai. Next were the Golden Core trump cards in Jianyi Chonghui’s and Jianyi Mingyuan’s hands. The others and the demonic beasts were only there to harass.
Jianyi Mingxian was responsible for trapping it with the grand formation.
She currently still could not refine third-rank formation flags, and they also lacked the materials. Most of what such flags involved were extremely precious formation materials.
A set of third-rank low-grade formation flags would probably be comparable in value to several magic treasures.
Considering that their future opponents would involve the demonic path and demonic beasts, Jianyi Mingxian refined two sets of formation flags: the Seven Stars Demon-Sealing Formation and the Heavenly Dipper Demon-Locking Formation.
The one to be used this time was the Heavenly Dipper Demon-Locking Formation.
This formation had the effect of suppressing demonic beasts and weakening their strength.
It also had no small effect on third-rank demonic beasts.
The group headed to Myriad Snake Valley.
"Mingxian, arrange the grand formation near here. Jianyi Bai, go lure that old snake and draw him here. Even if we are going to kill him, we should still do it elsewhere as much as possible.
"That will save us from any backup methods he may have in his own nest.
"The rest of you, conceal your realms and suppress your aura fluctuations."
Everyone followed his instructions.
The world of demonic beasts was very simple. The weak were prey to the strong.
If you set your eyes on territory, seize it directly. If you set your eyes on a mate, seize them directly!
The vast majority of demonic beasts accepted this way of doing things, and it was very easy to provoke their anger.
Jianyi Bai ran to the core area of Myriad Snake Valley and released a tiger roar that pierced metal and split stone, tearing apart the drifting clouds.
"This territory, Tiger Lord wants it. The thing inside, if you know what is good for you, hurry up and get lost!"
In the next instant,
A dark red giant python nearly twenty zhang long rushed out from the valley. Its head was wide and broad like a triangular cauldron, with a half-chi fleshy lump growing on its forehead, faintly glowing black.
Its pupils were vertical and crimson. When they opened and closed, cold light pierced the eyes, as if able to penetrate stone walls.
When its mouth split open, white jade hook-like venom fangs were exposed. Drool fell to the ground, and with a sizzling sound, it corroded the blue stone into small honeycomb-like pits. A foul stench spread as its tongue flicked.
That red tongue was over a chi and a half long, and when it flicked, it was like a flaming snake.
Fleshy wings grew from its back, pressed against the scales of its spine. With an occasional flap, they raised a foul wind.
"Little white cat, this is this seat’s territory. If you do not want to die, get far away from this venerable one!"
A sharp hiss erupted, and waves of sound spread in all directions.
Jianyi Bai did not want to waste words. He directly raised his claw and condensed three several-zhang golden rays. The golden rays were incomparably condensed, and as they flickered, they directly tore open the giant python’s dark red scales, exposing the flesh within.
The triangular giant python cried out in pain, its vertical pupils turning crimson. It opened its mouth and spat out a crimson-black line of fire.
Jianyi Bai stepped on the wind and dodged. The crimson-black flame landed on the ground, and the scorching heat immediately melted out a several-chi-deep pit, black smoke rolling upward.
Jianyi Bai was acting as bait, so there was no need for him to fight desperately in close combat. He again condensed sharp metal qi at the tips of his claws, sweeping out several golden rays that stabbed straight toward the giant python’s fleshy lump.
But this time, he did not succeed.
The fleshy wings on the giant python’s back abruptly spread open, like two red sails billowing in the wind. Its body used the force to rise several zhang into the air, and the golden rays brushed past its scales, splashing a few sparks.
As the fleshy wings beat, they stirred up waves of strange wind.
There was poisonous miasma within the strange wind.
"Roar—"
The white tiger released a low roar. Metal qi condensed into a translucent barrier, blocking the poisonous miasma rushing at him.
Seeing this, the giant python grew even more furious. Its triangular head rose, and it again spat out a crimson-black line of fire. Fierce flames wrapped in poison qi scorched the air until a burnt smell spread.
The white tiger stepped on metal qi and dodged sideways.
Black smoke again rose from the ground.
Before the smoke and fire dispersed, the giant python’s body had already swept over again like a long steel whip. Its scales reflected the firelight, glowing with strange red light.
The white tiger twisted and dodged. The metal qi at his claw tips swept across the giant python’s tail.
With a metallic ring, sparks flew in all directions, but it only cut half an inch into the gap between scales.
The giant python suffered pain, and the tip of its tail suddenly curled back, wanting to coil around the white tiger and kill him.
The white tiger flashed backward like golden lightning, glanced back at the triangular giant python, and immediately swept into the distance.
Having been challenged at his own doorstep and even suffering a small loss at the other’s hands, how could the triangular giant python let it go? The anger in his heart had already been completely ignited.
"A mere early third rank. Today, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will swallow you alive."
The triangular giant python had considered whether this white tiger had companions, but relying on his mid third-rank strength, he felt he could retreat safely.
In his heart, he thought that perhaps two early third-rank beasts had set their eyes on his territory.
If their strength truly far surpassed his, why bother doing this? They could simply occupy this territory directly.
