Chapter 121
Thirty minutes later, a bloodied Xiao Chen crawled out from the bushes. He struggled to stand up, but he couldn’t straighten his back. His chest was a little sunken, and it was obvious that many bones were broken. Even his face was a little red and swollen, and blood kept flowing out from his mouth.
“Clatter, clatter, clatter!”
Xiao Chen began to take two shallow steps and one deep step. He slowly walked towards the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s corpse. His wooden sword had fallen there, and he still needed to take out the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s core. This was the key to becoming the champion of the Big Hunting Match. With the fifth-grade desolate beast core, the champion would definitely be Xiao Chen.
“Keke …”
When Xiao Chen thought about winning the Big Hunting Match and obtaining the Dragon Heart Grass, he could then bring it back to the Great Wilderness to cure his grandfather’s injuries. He couldn’t help but smile happily. However, his face was red and swollen, and his entire body was covered in blood. His smile was a little ugly, and it could even be said to be a little scary.
“Old friend, you are here?”
With Xiao Chen’s current speed, it took him the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to cover the distance of a few hundred feet. Only then did he reach the place where the battle had taken place. Sweeping his gaze across the area, he quickly saw the huge wooden sword that had fallen to the side. Xiao Chen slowly walked over, and with great difficulty, bent down to pick up the heavy wooden sword that had accompanied him for more than ten years.
“Pfff!”
Xiao Chen climbed up the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s giant head and used his hand to poke into the Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s eyes. After fumbling around for a while, he finally dug out a fist-sized yellow desolate beast core from between the giant python’s eyebrows. Then, Xiao Chen slowly slid down the giant python’s head. He was now severely injured and couldn’t jump at all.
As for the fifth-grade desolate sword that had made a great contribution, Xiao Chen couldn’t take it out. The Sky-Devouring Giant Python’s head was so hard that Xiao Chen couldn’t cut open the head to take out the short sword due to his severe injuries.
If Xiao Chen were to crawl into the snake’s mouth and then crawl into the python’s throat, even if Xiao Chen could withstand the stench, his heavily injured body would not be able to withstand the torment. Therefore, Xiao Chen could only leave the eighty thousand purple coins fifth-grade Desolate Sword in the python’s corpse.
“I should find a safe place to recuperate. If a powerful desolate beast or enemy comes, I will really be in danger. This injury will take at least a day or two to heal.”
Xiao Chen glanced at the messy forest nearby and muttered to himself. He then walked towards a direction in the forest with some difficulty. He could not stay at the scene of the battle for long. The thick stench of blood here would definitely attract powerful desolate beasts or potential enemies.
“Da, da, da!”
One of Xiao Chen’s feet was injured, so he couldn’t walk steadily. Fortunately, he was able to walk without falling. The bleeding on his body seemed to have stopped, but his injuries were very serious, so he insisted on walking into the distance.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had walked a few thousand feet. The pain had already caused his face to turn a little green, but he still persisted, because he had not found a safe place.
“Hmm?
Ah! ”
After another half an incense stick of time, Xiao Chen was walking through a large patch of grass that was half the height of a person. Just as he was walking, he suddenly felt his feet step on empty air. He was slightly stunned and immediately exclaimed. His hands instinctively grabbed at the grass beside him, but it had happened too suddenly. Before he could react, his body had already plummeted.
“Goddammit!
A snake cave?
My luck can’t be that bad, right? ”
Xiao Chen felt that he had fallen into a gigantic pitch-black snake cave. Furthermore, the snake cave was extremely smooth, so there was no way for him to exert any force. Thankfully, the snake cave was not too steep and had an incline. If he were to fall vertically, the heavily injured Xiao Chen might very well fall to his death.
If he did not die in the mouth of the Heaven Devouring Giant Python, it would be a tragedy for Xiao Chen if he were to fall to his death. Now, he was still sliding down the cave, and it was unknown how deep the cave was. The situation was not optimistic. If there were a few large snakes waiting for Xiao Chen to fall into their mouths, then Xiao Chen would still be in a tragic state.
“Bang!”
After sliding for about a minute, Xiao Chen, who was grimacing in pain, felt his buttocks land on soft and wet soil. He had finally reached the bottom of the cave.
“Thankfully, I did not fall to my death.”
Xiao Chen secretly rejoiced. However, he immediately became nervous. He was certain that he had fallen into a snake cave because his nose could smell a strong snake stench.
Xiao Chen hurriedly circulated the Power of Desolates to his eyes. Everything in the cave became clear at a glance.
The snake cave was very large, about the size of a large house. It was probably a natural cave, and there was another exit in the cave. The exit was parallel to the cave, but as there was no light, Xiao Chen’s eyesight was limited. He could only see a hundred meters ahead. Beyond that, it was pitch black. He did not know where the exit led to.
Thankfully, there were no large snakes in the cave. Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged and planned to recuperate. There was no point in thinking too much. He had to recuperate as soon as possible. Once his body recovered, he would not be afraid even if a large snake appeared. He could just kill it.
The wooden sword did not fall this time. Xiao Chen stabbed it in front of him, barely acting as a protective wall. Following that, he took out the last fifth-grade Desolate Yuan Pill and swallowed it. Following that, he closed his eyes and began recuperating.
…
Not long after Xiao Chen fell into the snake cave, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a cold face led more than a hundred black-armored riders. They rode black horses to the scene where Xiao Chen fought the beasts. There was also a beautiful woman and two young men.
This group of people were Liu Ruyue, Zhu Geming and Xu Da. They were the two hundred black-armored riders from the Sha family and the Sha family that they had called to save Xiao Chen.
“Sss!”
Liu Ruyue and the other two gasped when they saw the ground littered with the corpses of the desolate beasts and blood. There were also countless fallen and broken trees. They could not help but gasp. When they did not see Xiao Chen, their faces immediately turned pale. Their eyes were filled with endless worry and regret.
“Xiao Chen!
Where are you? ”
Liu Ruyue’s eyes were filled with hot tears. She looked around for Xiao Chen. At the same time, she called out Xiao Chen’s name with a sorrowful face. However, no one responded to her.
When Zhu Geming and Xu Da saw Liu Ruyue’s deep feelings for Xiao Chen, they did not have a trace of jealousy. They also called out Xiao Chen’s name loudly, “Xiao Chen!
Xiao Chen!
We have called for people to save you. Where are you?
Come out quickly!
If you are still alive, respond to us! ”
God of Massacre’s gaze swept across the messy forest coldly. His expression turned solemn. He could tell from the battlefield that Xiao Chen had fought a tragic battle.
A black-armored horseman rode in front of the solemn-looking God of Massacre and said respectfully, “Reporting to the Commander!
We found the corpse of a gigantic python over there! ”
“Gigantic?
Bring me there to take a look! “God of Massacre was slightly stunned. He immediately shouted and urged his horse to follow the black-armored horseman.
Liu Ruyue and the other two naturally heard it. They were alarmed and immediately urged their horses to follow.
“Sss!”
When Liu Ruyue and the other two saw the corpse of the python, which was as huge as a legendary black dragon, they sucked in a breath of cold air again. Their bodies involuntarily trembled violently. They thought to themselves, Is this still a python?
“Sky-Devouring Python?
A late-stage fifth-class desolate beast? ”
When God Slaughter saw the corpse of the Heaven Devouring Giant Python, his eyes widened. He narrowed his eyes and his cold expression finally changed. He recognized the Heaven Devouring Giant Python with a single glance and was able to tell the strength of this python.
