Chapter 567: The Great Serpent!

Chapter 567: Chapter 567: The Great Serpent!

Xiao Zheng walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside. The cave was winding downwards, extremely deep and the end was not visible at a glance.

Xiao Zheng carefully sensed and discovered an odd aura emanating from inside the cave, as if some powerful being was lurking within.

Xiao Zheng felt puzzled, "Why would such a strong aura appear in such a deep forest? Could there be a master hidden here?"

Xiao Zheng, with increased interest in this cave and bold due to his mastery of arts, did not hesitate and walked directly in to explore.

It had already turned dark and it was pitch black inside the cave, where one could not even see his own fingers. However, Xiao Zheng, with his penetrating heavenly eyes, was not afraid of this.

He followed the path of the cave, delving deeper as the surrounding temperature kept dropping, and then suddenly, there was a crack.

He seemed to have stepped on something.

Xiao Zheng looked down and found the skeleton of a wild beast on the ground, resembling that of a wild boar.

"The bones have weathered to this extent? It looks like it must have died here decades or even centuries ago."

Xiao Zheng thought.

It was just a skeleton, so he paid no attention and continued moving deeper.

But as he ventured further, his brows slightly furrowed.

He smelled a stench of blood!

And within that stench of blood, there was also a rotten smell!

Xiao Zheng was very familiar with this smell; previously, to train in martial arts, he would enter deep forests to toughen his body and often smelled this in the dens of fierce beasts. It was the smell that lingered when the beasts did not completely consume their prey.

"Could those people have been eaten?" A thought surged in Xiao Zheng’s mind.

With this thought, Xiao Zheng quickened his pace, constantly moving deeper along the passage.

And as he went deeper, the stench of blood grew denser.

Moreover, more and more skeletons of fierce beasts began appearing on the ground!

Some of them had been there for many years, but others were recent, having died not long ago.

The gloomy ancient cave, full of corpses, with a dense stench of blood formed a very sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

Xiao Zheng, with high artistic mastery and great courage, was not afraid at all and, concerned about those few employees, did not stop for a moment and rushed towards the depths of the cave.

Eventually, he reached the end of the cave.

Xiao Zheng looked ahead and his eyes showed a hint of surprise.

What appeared before him was an immensely huge space, large enough to be several square meters, and astonishingly, several huge gems were hanging from the ceiling which were even glowing on their own, illuminating this vast space!

An odd scene!

However,

Xiao Zheng’s gaze was not focused on these naturally mystical gems.

He looked toward the center of the huge space!

There, in the center of this vast space, there was a stone platform and on that platform, a skull was seated.

The color of the skull was not the white of ordinary human remains but emitted a faint golden light, resembling golden-yellow jade!

Next to the remains, on the platform, there lay a long sword flashing a faint purple light, and its sharp aura, despite being so far away, was still formidable.

Beside the sword, there was a book, tattered and unremarkable in appearance.

Xiao Zheng was shaken!

He stared intently at the skull.

Only he understood what the faint golden light flickering on the skull was.

It was Gang Qi!

Xiao Zheng’s perception was extremely sharp, able to clearly distinguish that the light was indeed Gang Qi.

"This person is already dead, leaving only the skeletal remains that still bear Gang Qi. What level had his martial arts cultivation reached? Even though the person is gone, the remains are undecayed, this... this..."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes were filled with shock.

Even he found this scene hard to believe.

Suddenly.

Xiao Zheng remembered the Golden Bone.

Could the Golden Bone be the skeleton left behind by a powerful martial arts master after his fall? Since the man was too strong, even in death, his remains still contained a tremendous and terrifying energy.

"Since this person was a super-strong fighter, then that golden skeleton’s nearby purple longsword and the secret manual..." Xiao Zheng quickly shifted his focus.

His eyes emitted a gleam of delight.

If this person was truly a strong fighter, then the things he left behind would certainly be extraordinary, and obtaining them might greatly help him.

"I never expected that a simple quest to find someone would turn into such a great opportunity," Xiao Zheng thought, very pleased.

He stepped out and lunged towards the stone platform. He planned to take the iron sword and the secret manual into his bag.

After finishing this task, he would continue searching for the missing company employees.

However, just as he was halfway there, Xiao Zheng’s expression suddenly turned cold, his hair stood on end, feeling a terrifying threat.

It seemed that some fearsome being had set its sights on him!

"Hmph."

Xiao Zheng snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, daring to attack the Evil God, there weren’t many in this world who ended up well!

Boom!

In that instant, his body erupted with a masculine and dominant Gang Qi, violently covering him from head to toe.

In that moment, in this dim space, Xiao Zheng was like a mini hurricane, causing leaves and stones to fly around him.

And there was an ocean-like vast and terrifying aura.

"Moo..."

At this time, a dull low moo resounded, followed by a rush of wind. Xiao Zheng then saw a huge shadow violently pouncing towards him.

"Hmph."

Xiao Zheng snorted coldly, his fist wrapped in intense Gang Qi and he violently struck out, colliding with the huge creature in an instant.

Boom.

A thunderous noise shook the earth, the huge creature let out a cry of pain, its massive body retreating backwards, repelled by Xiao Zheng.

Only then did Xiao Zheng see clearly that the attacker was a huge python!

It was enormous.

The python was over tens of meters long, as thick as a barrel, with purple patterns on its body, and its snake eyes were cold and lifeless.

"A giant snake?"

Xiao Zheng was startled.

He remembered the animal carcasses he had seen when he entered the cave, presumably all caused by this huge python.

Perhaps, the missing employees who entered this cave were also due to this huge python.

Xiao Zheng’s mind suddenly became clear.

"Hmph, a mere beast daring to show off in front of me, it seems you need a proper lesson," Xiao Zheng said with a cold smile.

The python also steadied itself, raising its huge tongue again, its snake eyes vigilantly watching Xiao Zheng, hissing as it spat out its forked tongue.

Utterly chilling, as if it had marked Xiao Zheng as its prey!

But Xiao Zheng remained undaunted.
