Chapter 2655: Chapter 2675: He Smells So Good, I Really Want to Devour Him!

Lin Chen was soaring upwards when suddenly a foul wind swirled in front of him, and an enormous, dark snake head suddenly rose, its indifferent slit eyes staring fixedly at him.

Lin Chen instantly stopped in his tracks, warily eyeing the Black Mountain that was close at hand.

What’s with this guy?

Wasn’t it lying still just a moment ago? When others went up, it didn’t react. Why does it have to pull this stunt with me?

As the gazes of man and snake met midair, Lin Chen actually saw desire in those cold eyes!

Yes, that’s right, desire!

A light flickered in its pupils, and greed slowly surfaced from the depths, its gaze becoming greedy and eager.

Lin Chen met Black Mountain’s gaze coldly, not moving an inch, but his whole body was ready to burst into action, prepared for battle at any moment.

Because he saw that the way it looked at him was like seeing a piece of delicious prey.

It wanted to swallow him whole, consume him!

As Lin Chen remained on guard, his heart was full of confusion. So many people had gone by without eliciting any reaction from the serpent, no acknowledgment whatsoever. So why, when it came to him, did the creature react so strongly?

Was his flesh more fragrant?

The sudden raising of Black Mountain’s head almost flipped the people who had just landed on it, sending them into a frenzied scramble to rise into the air and narrowly avoid being flung away by the motion of the snake’s head.

"What’s happening?"

"Why is Black Mountain suddenly acting up?"

"Why is it staring at that man? Is there something odd about him?"

"Isn’t he just a visitor from Myriad Immortal Hall? I heard he’s a disciple from the Myriad Immortal Hall Battle Hall..."

Guo Huai witnessed this scene and was immediately alarmed, hurriedly shouting, "Black Mountain, do not move rashly. He is a guest from Myriad Immortal Hall!"

Although the Six-winged Demon Snake Black Mountain couldn’t speak human language, it could understand it. Hesitation seemed to flicker in its vast eyes.

People from Myriad Immortal Hall shouldn’t be eaten. But his scent, it’s so enticing!

How it longed to swallow him in one bite!

Sect Master Qi, seated on the serpent’s head as steady as Mount Tai, slightly furrowed his brows, extended a hand, and tapped gently on Black Mountain’s head, scolding in a low voice, "Black Mountain, show some manners!"

Black Mountain, left with no choice but to lower its head, still kept its eyes unblinkingly fixed on Lin Chen, sending shivers down his spine.

Your desire to eat me is written all over your face. It’s putting me on edge.

He had just forgotten to inquire about Black Mountain’s exact strength. But from Kong Ling’s description, it was probably a Pinnacle Daluo Supreme Immortal. Otherwise, how could Kong Ling have said that it would be made into snake soup upon meeting a Daluo Initial Immortal?

Sect Master Qi’s gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he beckoned with a slight smile, "Come up."

Lin Chen leaped atop the snake’s head and, bowing his hands toward Sect Master Qi, said, "Thank you, Senior... Why did it suddenly show hostility towards me, as if it wanted to swallow me whole?"

Sect Master Qi sized up Lin Chen and replied with a smile, "Perhaps there’s something on you that it finds interesting."

Something interesting?

All of his Magical Treasures, like those within the Linglong Tower and Spatial Ring, were concealed. What else could attract its attention?

Lin Chen examined himself, and when his eyes swept over his left arm, they suddenly lit up.

So that’s how it is!

Previously in the Secret Realm, Lin Chen had uncovered a Sword Talisman left by Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, releasing the suppressed Celestial Demon Chizai. As Chizai departed, it condensed its Innate Divine Powers into a Star-Space Magic Serpent as a parting gift to him, which now coiled around his arm like a tattoo.

Black Mountain, being a magical beast formed from Demonic Qi, had a sensitivity to it beyond that of ordinary people, as this was the core origin power of magical beasts. By devouring more Demonic Qi, a beast could evolve further, gaining greater strength and ascending to higher realms.

Black Mountain had sensed the presence of the Star-Space Magic Serpent on Lin Chen’s arm. Its instinctual drive to evolve ignited its greed, prompting it to desire devouring Lin Chen. But it had been tamed by Sect Master Qi since young and revered him deeply, so upon Sect Master Qi’s command, even though it longed to consume Lin Chen, it temporarily abandoned the notion.

Once everyone was atop Black Mountain’s head, Sect Master Qi tapped the snake’s head again and commanded, "Go!"

Black Mountain hissed lowly twice, then surged skyward.

Sitting atop a magical beast to take in the scenery, while not as smooth and comfortable as a Shangzhou, this close encounter with a flying mount was decidedly pleasant.

The flight was swift as lightning, and in ten days, they arrived at their destination.

The Illusory Serpent Sect was not the first to arrive. At this time, many giant flying boats and various mounts littered the plains.

Everything was clearly divided into northern and southern camps, with the demon race occupying the north and the Barbarian Tribe populating the south, creating a densely packed, lively atmosphere.

The arrival of Black Mountain alerted everyone, and soon quite a few people gathered around.

"Sect Master Qi, long time no see!"

"Greetings to Sect Master Qi!"

Sect Master Qi’s normally aloof face now bore a faint smile as he started to greet the people, but a discordant voice suddenly interjected.

"Yo, isn’t that Sect Master Qi? You’ve arrived quite late. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve once again ridden on this wretched snake, cramped together with so many, trudging all the way without a place to sleep. Can’t the Illusory Serpent Sect even afford a single giant flying boat?"
