Chapter 467: Chapter 438: If Not Successful, Then Be Righteous_1

The spectacle in the sky left everyone stunned.

"This..." He Jingyu stuttered in fear, "did you see this before?"

"Mhm," He Tiantian nodded, unable to keep it hidden any longer.

"No wonder you were so scared," He Jingyu said. "Don’t be afraid, a mystical creature like this won’t easily harm us insignificant humans."

He Tiantian nodded. The Snake King might have a bad temper, ranting about biting this or that person to death, but in the end, it didn’t actually kill anyone!

In fact, He Tiantian didn’t know that the Snake King had killed quite a few people in the United States for her sake.

Apart from frequently scaring He Tiantian, the Snake King would never let anyone who tried to harm her go, if it could bite them to death.

So this time, its Tribulation came too suddenly, and it also felt the Heavenly Dao’s wrath, which was a punishment for it.

The last wave of Heavenly Tribulation was more than the sum of the previous five.

The Snake King hesitated.

He Tiantian shared a blood connection with the Snake King, and she felt the Snake King’s fear and pain.

He Tiantian clasped her hands together and chanted in her heart, "Gurulu Gurulu Mi, Snake King, please hold on. We have overcome so many difficulties, and we can get through this one too. Don’t be afraid, resist the strikes from the Heavenly Dao with your will and body. Don’t be scared, I am here for you! Even if you drink all the blood from my body, I will bear no grudge, just as long as you can safely make it through."

He Tiantian was a woman who would repay any kindness.

While saying these words, she thought of her parents, her grandmother, and Huo Yingjie.

All she had was given to her by the Snake King, and she didn’t want to lose it.

However, one should not only care for oneself and disregard others.

The Snake King was no longer just a snake, it was a child, a chubby, flesh-and-blood child.

The Snake King’s body jerked, receiving He Tiantian’s message.

It could not give up like this.

If it gave up, or if it vanished into ash, then everything He Tiantian had might disappear as well.

Perhaps He Tiantian would still be that pitiful old woman, a weak pushover bullied by others.

It needed not only to survive but also to endure this Heavenly Tribulation and become a powerful being, only then would it have a chance to become a truly omnipotent Snake King.

The Snake King looked back at He Tiantian.

At that moment, He Tiantian opened her eyes and saw the Snake King, resolute and determined.

With just one glance, the Snake King reaffirmed its conviction, soared into the sky, and turned into a point.

He Jingyu was taken aback; standing next to his daughter, he saw it clearly: it was a dragon with horns growing on its head.

There was no mistaking it, it was a dragon.

"Daughter, do you see it? That’s a dragon!" He Jingyu said excitedly, worried he was seeing things.

"I see it too, I see it too," the other people inside the wooden house also exclaimed loudly.

Even without He Tiantian’s answer, He Jingyu confirmed from what the others said that what he had seen was real.

If you don’t succeed, you must be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice.

The Snake King made its choice.

He Tiantian couldn’t help, she only thought that the only useful thing she had was the so-called Sacred Blood in her body.

To get more Sacred Blood, she needed to eat, she couldn’t go hungry.

Instead of doing nothing and just watching the sky, it was better to eat first, hoping that the food would quickly turn into useful Sacred Blood in her body.

He Tiantian turned around and approached the iron pot where the rice porridge was being cooked, scooping up three bowls to cool down.

While waiting for the white porridge to cool, He Tiantian ate two sweet potatoes, then drank three bowls of porridge in one breath.

He Jingyu and the others hadn’t eaten; their eyes were fixed on the sky.

Due to the distance being too great, they could only see streaks of lightning striking that black dot in the sky; the rest was not clear.

The noise grew even more intense; the air was even filled with the scent of blood and the smell of something burning.

The strength within the Snake King’s body was gradually fading, pain blurred its consciousness, and it had reached its limit. However, it faintly knew it couldn’t give up, it couldn’t give up...

Every second was torture.

The Snake King, like a headless fly, staggered through the air, nearly falling several times, but relying on willpower, it charged into the sky once more.

Time after time like this, even from a great distance, He Jingyu and the others could vaguely make out something.

Village Chief Qi, Qi Shuming, and others were already scared into kneeling and kowtowing on the ground.

Although He Jingyu didn’t kowtow, his heart was greatly shaken.

Having eaten her fill, He Tiantian waited for the Snake King to finish its Tribulation.

The last bolt of lightning lasted a whole hour.

The Snake King had experienced the most painful Tribulation of its memory.

The white and red lights in the sky dispersed, and darkness enveloped the sky once again.

The heavy rain outside, like a broken bead curtain, pattered down fiercely.

The rain was even heavier than before; with its last bit of consciousness, the Snake King directed itself over the cave. Ah!

Then it no longer had the strength, and it fell swiftly and heavily into the cave.

"Bang bang..." A loud noise came from the direction of the cave.

Being relatively close to the Peach Orchard, He Jingyu and the others were shaken until they fainted.

Because she was of the same bloodline as the Snake King, He Tiantian didn’t faint.

Seeing her father faint, He Tiantian was startled and quickly stepped forward to check his breath.

Her father was breathing normally, simply having fainted, with a regular heartbeat.

The others were the same, so He Tiantian was relieved.

Thinking of the Snake King falling just now, He Tiantian was worried and hurried towards the cave, despite the pouring rain.

Just as He Tiantian rushed toward the cave, Boss Lu and his men also began to take action.

"Boss, it’s raining so heavily outside. Are we going now?" one of them asked, a bit scared.

Boss Lu turned around, his eyes narrowing, and said sinisterly, "You all saw it, that’s a spiritual being that fell from the sky. Even if it’s not dead, it’s likely gravely injured. What a rare occurrence. If we can get something from the body of this spiritual being, even if we can’t live forever, we can at least extend our lives."

Hu Sanchuan always supported Boss Lu and said, "Boss is right. We often deal with the dead; not many live to a ripe old age. Now we have such a great opportunity. It would be a pity to let it slip by. If you don’t go, I will."

Boss Lu looked at Hu Sanchuan, nodding in satisfaction.

A boss’s authority never came from reprimanding others himself but from having sidekicks who understood his thoughts, spoke on his behalf, and said things he was either too lazy to say or couldn’t say himself.

Listening to this, the others thought it made sense. Their line of work was all about taking risks.

Taking a bit more risk now—that wasn’t much of anything!

"We’ll follow the boss’s orders!" the others responded in unison.

The one who had been scared earlier saw everyone was going; not going would look bad, so he also changed his tune, supporting Boss Lu’s decision.

The group, clad in raincoats and wearing bamboo hats, made their way through the forest.
