Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 319 - 319 308 Fierce Beasts

319: 308 Fierce Beasts 319: 308 Fierce Beasts Hisss, hisss, hisss…..

Having travelled a certain distance, Jiang Chen heard a hissing sound.

Then, a python appeared before him, its whole body a fiery red, encircled with mystical patterns, as if it was crafted from crystal.

Honestly, this python looked pretty good.

However, Jiang Chen’s face turned grave instead of being pleased when he saw it.

Becasue, Jiang Chen recognized it as an Earth Fire Python.

Its detailed record could be found in both the Xihuang and Shangqing inheritances.

Earth Fire Python, a peculiar life nourished by earthen fire and poisonous air, feeds on this poison, lives in lava, and naturally possesses the ability to manipulate fire and poisonous air, making it exceptionally powerful.

However, Earth Fire Python is not a monster beast, but rather a fierce beast — a fierce beast detested by Heaven and Earth.

In terms of origins, the fierce beasts have far ancient ones than the Demon Clan.

The word “demon” first appeared in the Primordial World, proposed by Di Jun during the Ancient Era.

However, the origin of the fierce beasts is even more ancient, dating back to the era that predates the Primordial Three Tribes, the very beginning of the creation of the universe.

Yes, at the beginning of the creation of the universe, fierce beasts were born.

At that time, Pangu Great God had just fallen and had not yet disintegrated into all things.

During the time Pangu Great God created the world, he encountered Chaos Demigods blocking his way.

After a great battle, all Chaos Demigods were slain, and thus the Primordial World was established.

After the Chaos Demigods fell, their resentment persisted.

Their flesh and blood blended into the newly born world and turned into fierce beasts that were incredibly powerful, intending to devour Pangu Great God while he was exhausted.

Then, with a roar from Pangu, these fierce beasts were shattered.

These fierce beasts, their bodies shattered, turned into a rain of blood that fell all over the world, giving rise to the race of fierce beasts.

The fierce beasts, as the oldest beings of the Primordial Era, possess no wisdom and only know destruction.

However, they are born incredibly strong, far surpassing other races.

Their fleshly bodies are strong enough to compete with the Witch Clan.

Before the fierce beasts, the Demon Clan has the advantage only in intelligence; in other aspects, they are less than the fierce beasts.

And this is not even the greatest strength of the fierce beasts.

Their greatest power lies in their reproduction capacity.

Often, the more powerful the being, the harder it is to reproduce.

But this does not apply to the fierce beasts.

Just a pair of male and female fierce beasts can breed a whole tribe in a short time.

Powerful and prolific – that is the fierce beasts.

Therefore, they are known as the greatest scourge of the Primordial Era.

Their existence is to avenge the Chaos Demigods and destroy the Primordial World created by Pangu.

Because the fierce beasts were born from the fallen Chaos Demigods, they possess the ability to break all sorts of rules.

Of course, the strength of the fierce beasts comes at a cost, that is, the sacrificing of brilliant intellect.

If the fierce beasts possessed wisdom, the Primordial World would have long been destroyed.

There would be no such thing as Zhuangshi in the first place.

The Heavenly Dao is still fair.

Although the fierce beasts have lost their intellect, they have gained more power than other races.

However, many people were not willing to opt for this kind of power.

…

“Why is there an Earth Fire Python here?

Weren’t the fierce beasts banished together by the Great Divine Transcendents?” Upon unexpectedly discovering the Earth Fire Python, Jiang Chen was taken aback for the first time.

The purpose of the birth of the fierce beasts was to destroy the Primordial World.

Now that a fierce beast has appeared here, it means that it won’t take long for this place to become a ruin, completely destroyed by the fierce beasts.

The fierce beasts have the ability to do so.

If a place has a fierce beast without anyone knowing it, it will not take long for this place to become a wasteland.

Because the destructive power of the fierce beasts is so strong, all beings in the Primordial World have reached a consensus to exterminate the fierce beasts.

Every Fierce Beast can be killed!

The war between the beings of the Primordial World and the fierce beasts broke out at the beginning of the creation of the world, lasting for countless tens of thousands of years, and caused countless Innate Divine Demons to fall.

The fierce beasts gradually declined due to the rise of the three tribes.

Later, the rise of Witch and Demon further squeezed the living space of the fierce beasts.

Eventually, Empress Nuwa achieved divinity and, with the help of all Great Divine Transcendents of the time, banished the fierce beasts to places like the Deep Sea Abyss, the Abyss of Eternal Gloom, the Ruined Land, and other desolate places of the Primordial Era, thus putting an end to the chaos caused by the fierce beasts.

It was from then on that the figures of the fierce beasts gradually disappeared from the Primordial Era.

However, to prevent future generations from forgetting the power and harm of the fierce beasts, some Great Divine Transcendents spent millions of years collecting all the information on the fierce beasts in the Primordial Era, compiling them into a compendium and freely distributing it to all the creatures of the world.

Fortunately, this compendium of fierce beasts can be found in both Xihuang and Shangqing inheritances, so Jiang Chen was able to recognize the Earth Fire Python as soon as he saw it.

“This Earth Fire Python must have been born from the Vein of Earth Fire.” After secretly investigating for a moment, Jiang Chen finally confirmed the origin of this fierce beast — it was born from the earth’s fire.

Although the fierce beasts have been exiled by Empress Nuwa, occasional oversights in such a large Primordial Era are quite normal.

Besides, the exile of Empress Nuwa wasn’t on the traditional sense.

It’s not just the exile of all fierce beasts.

Instead, the marks of their existence in Heaven and Earth were also exiled together.

This has resulted in the emergence of new fierce beasts, even if any were to be born, they would only appear in the exiled places and not in the world.

However, due to several destructions of the world and oversights in the divine abilities of the old times, the birth of some strays is inevitable.

…

……

“Good thing these Earth Fire Pythons haven’t been around for long and haven’t bred a large tribe to become a major menace.” After assessing the strength of the Earth Fire Pythons, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The number of Earth Fire Pythons here was not as many as Jiang Chen had imagined, only about a hundred or so.

Among them, the two strongest ancestor pythons had the cultivation level of a half-step Dao Monarch, which was at the same level as Jiang Chen, and was not too difficult to deal with.

Moreover, judging by the number of Earth Fire Pythons, they must have been born less than a thousand years ago at most.

Compared to their counterparts who could be millions or tens of millions of years old, even the two ancestor pythons would only be in their infancy and have not yet gained momentum.

Luckily, Jiang Chen discovered them early.

If these Earth Fire Pythons were given more time to grow, and their numbers reached ten thousand, even an Innate Dao Monarch would be defeated, and the entire Little Cang Mountain range would be ravaged by them.

However, the discovery this time only strengthened Jiang Chen’s determination to level the Little Cang Mountain range.

“The monks of this land deserve to die!”

The Earth Fire Pythons have been born for a thousand years, and Jiang Chen does not believe that none of the monks here have discovered them.
