Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Taming the Strange Thing_1

After kicking over the big python, Zhang Xian spun in mid-air a few times before landing sturdily on the ground, looking intently at the python that was several meters long.

In the refraction of the sunlight, the body of the python shone with a chilling radiance, giving off an unbreakable aura. Its huge frame was covered in scales, possessing an extraordinary defense and explosive power.

"Huh? Is this...the Golden Pupil Cloud Lion King?" Turning his head to look at the strange creature not far away, Zhang Xian was surprised again.

After receiving the ancient inheritance, he was familiar with the related information regarding cultivation. Recognizing the shape of the creature, a name and related information suddenly came to mind.

"It doesn’t seem right, the Golden Pupil Cloud Lion King doesn’t look like this." Suddenly, Zhang Xian was again puzzled.

In general, the creature in front of him resembled the Golden Pupil Cloud Lion King, yet there were some differences in the details. The current creature looked even more peculiar than the Golden Pupil Cloud Lion King. The Golden Pupil Cloud Lion King had golden fur, with some red at the neck, tail tip, and paws. However, the creature before him had fur that was a mix of golden and red throughout, making it look stranger.

The most striking difference was that the creature’s back and belly had more flamboyant red hair, whereas the Golden Pupil Cloud Lion King’s back was unchanged and its belly was white. It was worth noting that although the Golden Pupil Cloud Lion King was not a divine beast, its bloodline was very pure and could not produce such a peculiar existence. Upon looking more closely, the creature seemed like a hybrid breed.

"Wu..." The strange creature stepped back subconsciously when it saw Zhang Xian was staring at it, a shade of panic appeared in its golden eyes.

Zhang Xian’s impressive kick had just sent the python rolling into a mess. It had witnessed this and knew very well about Zhang Xian’s formidable strength.

"Hiss..." Suddenly, the python’s massive body began to sway, fiercely lashing out.

Zhang Xian lept away, avoiding the sweeping body of the python. His body quickly accelerated upward, punching the python’s triangular head.

"Bang..." The python’s head, just raised, was slammed onto the ground again.

Zhang Xian fell back several steps and was quite surprised. The python’s defense was so strong that his punch did not cause any substantial damage, his fist even numbed, shocking him by how high this defensive power was.

"How awesome..." Uncle Jiao hid behind a tree, watching Zhang Xian who was fighting the python incredulously.

Three middle-aged men who had luckily survived were also watching in horror, having stopped in their tracks.

Their purpose for being here was to quietly kill Zhang Xian in this Big Mountain. After witnessing Zhang Xian’s perverse strength, they almost sat down on the ground in shock.

Mother egg, what’s the difference between challenging this kind of existence and seeking death? How could the boss be so naive, instructing them to march towards their deaths without even scouting the area first?

Death was not surprising, people die every day, but who wakes up early in the morning, drives for hours, runs into the deep mountains and old forests to seek death? That’s exactly the foolish thing they were doing.

"Let’s go..." A middle-aged man shuddered, turned around and ran away.

The other two also did not dare to dawdle. Their three comrades had died so miserably earlier, they did not want to stay here and follow in their footsteps.

"Hiss!" At this moment, the python launched another attack at Zhang Xian, its huge body rising violently.

Zhang Xian’s brows furrowed, he swiftly dodged, trying to find the python’s weakness.

After some fighting, he found it frustrating not being able to locate the weakness. However, that problem was not too serious as he couldn’t break the python’s defense at all.

The main issue was, he had no weapon, and it was delusional to think he could break the python’s scales with just his soft fists.

"Bang..." Zhang Xian was caught unprepared and was hit by the python’s tail, flying far away, spitting out warm blood from his mouth.

He had a very solid body, but the strength of python was not to be taken lightly. The power from its tail nearly sucked the life out of him. It felt as if something was pressing against his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Having experienced the power of the python, he had no intention of fighting it directly. He was confident he could kill the python if he had a weapon. However, he currently did not have a weapon, and average ones were of no use. To deal with such a beast-like existence, he needed a divine weapon. The common goods in the store were not as hard as his fist.

Turning to look at the strange creature, he sneered, "Little guy, do you still want to watch this show? I can’t break this guy’s defense."

"Wu..." The strange creature retreated a step, looking vigilant.

Just as Zhang Xian was about to speak, the python attacked again, bringing a strong gust of wind.

The corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and with a sharp slap on the ground, his body spiralled into the air resembling a rolling drum.

"Boom..."

The giant tail fell, creating a deep pit in the ground.

"Roar..."

At this moment, the strange creature suddenly grew larger and extremely sharp claws extended from its paws. It quickly pounced forward, leaving a large hole in the python’s body.

The python raged, its solid body swinging back, hitting the strange creature.

"Wu..." A mournful whine echoed.

The creature was thrown away after being hit, and once it hit the ground, it quickly shrank back to the size of a cat and curled up.

"Good job..." Zhang Xian was surprised when he saw the creature shrink.

However, there was no time to think about it for now. He lunged ahead with a stride, stomping his foot heavily on the ground. He leapt up high, punching directly at the wound on the python.

"Hiss..." The protection from python’s scales was lost, and its defense weakened dramatically.

Being hammered on the wound, the python, as if being struck by lightning, instantly lost its flexibility and it became extremely difficult to wriggle. The claw of the strange creature had hit its vital spot, leaving it weak and powerless.

Next, Zhang Xian began his performance.

In the melee of a storm, the giant snake finally fell to the ground, dying with resentment. It had once roamed the forest for hundreds of years, yet today it fell to two young individuals.

"Zhang... Zhang Xian, are you alright?" Uncle Jiao ran to Zhang Xian’s side, asking.

"I’m fine, not going to die just yet." Zhang Xian shook his head, saying, "Uncle Jiao, hand over the knife you have."

On hearing this, Uncle Jiao hurriedly handed his knife to Zhang Xian.

Although they were not in deep woods, they were not far from it. There were often dangerous beasts in the mountains, and this knife served as their protection.

The sight of the terrifying giant snake today scared him deeply. In the place where their ancestors had lived for over a hundred years, there lurked such a ferocious giant snake, almost like a demon.

Zhang Xian took the knife and began working, rapidly prying open the scales of the giant snake one by one, and extracting its sinew and gallbladder, storing them in the storage ring.

These items were all useful.

As for the remaining snake meat, he smiled and looked at Uncle Jiao, "Take some of this meat home. Eating it would be good for your body."

"Can this be eaten?" Uncle Jiao was in a daze, asking after quite a while.

Earlier, he saw firsthand as Zhang Xian waved his hand, causing the scales and everything on the ground to disappear. It piqued his curiosity.

"Of course, it can be eaten, and it’s very good for the body." After Zhang Xian cut off a piece and gave it to Uncle Jiao, he said with a laugh, "Please keep the incident earlier a secret for me. Keep it a secret from everyone."

After receiving the snake meat, Uncle Jiao nodded.

Even if Zhang Xian hadn’t told him, Uncle Jiao knew he couldn’t spread the word about what had happened; it would cause panic. And as for Zhang Xian’s monstrous power, if he were to tell others, would they even believe him?

"Little fellow, get up."

After Zhang Xian put the snake meat into the storage ring, he went over to the ’weird thing’ and nudged it.

The ’weird thing’ was no longer as fierce as before, but rather the size of a kitten, adorned with golden hues intermixed with fiery red. Its appearance was indescribably cute.

The ’weird thing’ curled up and did not move.

Seeing this, Zhang Xian sighed, then took out a piece of snake meat from the storage ring and placed it in front of the ’weird thing’.

"Sss...." The ’weird thing’ smelt the aroma of the meat and immediately sprang to life.

Zhang Xian laughed, deciding not to rush to find the Black Mandala, but instead sat to the side, waiting for the ’weird thing’ to finish eating the snake meat.

This giant snake had cultivated for at least a hundred years and its meat was rich in spiritual energy. It was beneficial for both humans and beasts, and much better than the tonics known to everyone.

"Hey, would you like to come with me?"

A while later, Zhang Xian saw that the ’weird thing’ had eaten all the meat and its vitality had improved quite a bit, so he asked.

The ’weird thing’ took a step back, staring at Zhang Xian warily.

"I still have plenty of snake meat in my hands, and we can form a team to find more food. You won’t lose out by following me!" Zhang Xian knew that the little thing in front of him was quite smart.

The ’weird thing’ continued to stare at Zhang Xian, its face a picture of confusion.

Zhang Xian was taken aback, realizing that the ’weird thing’ might not have much contact with the outside world and may not understand human language. Therefore, he communicated his intentions through mental communication.

The ’weird thing’ tilted its head in thought, then looked at Zhang Xian, its golden eyes turning round and round.

"Rest assured, the snake meat is all yours; we can’t eat so much." Zhang Xian patted the ’weird thing’’s head, then stood up and said, "Uncle Jiao, let’s go find that Black Mandala."

The ’weird thing’ shook its head a few times, then followed them closely, its tail swinging from side to side. It was extremely cute.

Of course, this was just its current appearance. When it got worked up and transformed into a larger size, it would no longer be cute, but majestic, fierce, intimidating, and imposing.

...

While Zhang Xian and Uncle Jiao went up the mountain, Mo Shaoyun and the others were not idle at home, they began to wander around Shilin Village.

Apart from an old black-and-white television in Shilin Village, there was no other form of entertainment, not even cell phone signal, so they had plenty of spare time.

"Bro, look, those girls over there are so pretty!"

At the side of the road, a group of loafing young men were smoking and chatting. When one of them spotted Mo Shaoyun and his group, his eyes almost bulged out, and he lost all decorum, nearly drooling.

"Look at those beauties!"

"What beauties? They’re more like fairy maidens, they’re so beautiful."

The other young men turned their heads and were not much better. Each of them had vacant expressions on their faces with drool flowing freely.

They had never seen such stunning women in real life, aside from the untouchable beauties on the television. Suddenly seeing five at once, and each so stunningly beautiful, was more than they could handle.

The leading young man raised his hand, leading his underlings towards Mo Shaoyun and his group, chuckling, "Hey, pretty ladies, where are you going?"
