Chapter 95: Brother Ba's Fury

  ……

  Xiao Ba missed again, and his sharp claws tore open a hole in the ground. Unwilling to give up, Xiao Ba suddenly rolled on the spot, charging towards the female python with his entire body. The female python was unable to dodge, and together with the ancient tree behind her, she was knocked flying for dozens of feet.

  The female python was furious, its tail whipped back Little Eight, immediately followed by a horizontal charge. Little Eight lost his balance and was tightly wrapped up by the giant snake body that followed closely behind. The female python tightened its grip even more, opening its mouth to bite towards Little Eight's exposed head. Little Eight's turtle shell spikes protruded, fiercely stabbing into the female python's body.

  Then a mouthful of turquoise waves burst out, taking advantage of the moment when the water column hit the female python's head and made it dizzy, one claw slapped onto the snake's head, and one bite was tightly bitten on the female python's neck.

  The female python was in pain, its body tightening further and further, wrapping around Xiao Ba and rolling over four times.

  For the little eight with a full body of hard armor and turtle shell, with thorns growing horizontally, this is just a struggle before death, futile. The mouth was even bitten tighter, with an air of being struck by lightning but not loosening one's mouth.

  The tightly biting turtle head suddenly pulled hard, tearing off a large piece of flesh from the python's neck. With the surging snake blood, it took another bite. The small Ba, who was already red-eyed from fighting, showed its ferocity, swallowing the snake meat along with its skin and bones. Finally, it even bit down on the entire snake head.

  Only after swallowing the blood and flesh of the female python, Xiao Ba let out a low growl, and with a hint of force, his four limbs deeply trampled into the earth. Gnashing his teeth and gathering strength, a dark blue-green light faintly rose from his massive body, as if about to burst forth.

  Chen Mo watched as Xiao Ba was about to break through to the next level, and he no longer hesitated. Three stalks of second-grade spiritual medicine and two snake eggs were all poured into Xiao Ba's mouth in one go.

  Under the stimulation of medicine, Xiaobao rose up with a loud cry, and a large cluster of black and white air masses spewed out from his mouth, gathering thicker and thicker, and then wrapped around Xiaobao's huge body like a giant whirlpool.

  Then a long, suppressed roar burst out, and the air waves surged out. The concentrated breath that had been gathered for a long time suddenly contracted. A huge and majestic body gradually emerged.

  After advancing from the fifth rank to the sixth, his steel-like physique had grown by several sizes. The power emanating from his entire body, which seemed to carry an ancient aura, made Chen Mo secretly gasp in amazement. Now, little Ba was vaguely showing some semblance of the old divine turtle's shadow.

  "Wow, the sales are getting better and better!" Chen Mo was also surprised at the speed of this guy's promotion. He estimated that the divine beast bloodline was extraordinary, which was one reason. Another reason, of course, was that this foodie was too good at pleasing women, and recently, he had gained countless benefits from the goddess Shifu Mu Lingwei.

  Xiao Ba slowly woke up, her eyes throwing a white-eyed glance at Chen Mo, still angry about what had just happened. She transformed into a cute little turtle, tilting her head to the side and holding her breath.

  "Hey, you still dare to show off your little temper?" Chen Mo picked it up and tapped its head. He said with a smile: "If you want to get stronger, you have to keep accepting various battle challenges. Look at what you've become? You're so fat! Just a little exercise and you'll level up immediately. Alright, alright, stop putting on that airs, give me a smile, or else I'll add a dish to tonight's menu - braised dragon and turtle, and stew you with that female python. From the way you two were biting each other earlier, it seems like you're quite affectionate."

  Xiao Ba's eyes widened in shock, and he hastily squeezed out an awkward smile. What a joke, even if Boss died, he would still find a Vermilion Bird to accompany him, what's the point of that broken snake?

  "Open the way, open the way, continue to explore and search for treasure." Chen Mo was in a great mood, and with Xiao Ba, they continued on their journey to hunt in the wild.

  ……

  Time flies, and time is always like flowing water, quietly slipping away from our fingertips in the blink of an eye.

  It's been more than a month without realizing it.

  The first dawn breaks through, carrying a piercing light that shines through everything, passing through the towering tree tops that enter the clouds, and is projected onto the entire rainforest and wetlands.

  At this moment, a young man is standing on the crown of an ancient tree that towers tens of meters high and protrudes from the entire rainforest. The thin magical energy stained red and black by the morning sun is tumbling and turning several meters below his feet.

  The young man looked up with his eyes closed, and the training of more than a month had turned his skin into a light wheat color, with strong and symmetrical muscle lines, like a healthy leopard, revealing a strong explosive force.

  A somewhat small and delicate face, facing the rising sun. A few scattered whiskers grew on his chin, and his slightly long hair was casually tied behind his head.

  Thinking back on the past month of rushing around in the Mystic Swamp and Rainforest, what I gained was not just rich resources, but also a rare kind of tempering for myself.

  Here is desolate, cold, lonely and dangerous. After overcoming all these, what we gain is the ability to survive in times of crisis, calm down our restless temperament, and restrain our impulsive personality. Mature and calm, unflappable in the face of danger. These are the greatest gifts that nature has given us, enough for us to benefit from for a lifetime.

  Not only that, but in just over a month, Chen Mo has also successfully advanced from the fourth rank of Ling Shi to the fifth rank of Ling Shi, which is already rapid progress. With the advancement of cultivation and long-term tempering, the skills and flexible tactics during battle, as well as a deeper understanding of the Taohuabeng Lei Dao, are all things that cannot be bought with money.

  Chen Mo opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a confident and unruly smile.

  "Xiao Ba, it's time to go." With that, he pulled out two iron-wood long spears with sharp tips inlaid with two black gold giant python fangs from beside him, and leapt down from the old tree crown. His body was like a willow catkin, drifting and fluttering between the branches, heading far away.

  It can be seen that in these days, Chen's movements and cultivation have made great progress.

  As for these two iron-wood spears, they were still cut from a hundred-year-old iron tree with Xiaobai's claws. The iron wood was extremely hard and impervious to knives and axes; ordinary people could not use it even if they found some, without special methods.

  Although this long spear was carved by Chen Mo with a small eight-clawed beast's claw, it looked like chopsticks, but it was extremely hard, and the tip of the chopstick had sharp black gold snake fangs, which were really useful. In addition to this, in the past month, Chen Mo had collected spiritual medicine, demon cores, as well as some fur, claws, and sharp teeth, totaling about three iron boxes.

  Looking back on the past month, the entire rainforest and Demon Mire were turned upside down by Chen Mo. From being hunted down by swarms of demonic beasts to having them flee at the sight of him, it was an extremely arduous process.

  Later on, the demonic creatures even fled in disarray at the mere scent of Chen Mo, to the point where he gradually became a hunter and had to think of ways to catch his prey.

  For example, Guang Xian set up seven or eight places. There are three strongholds, starting from the old tree in Moze and extending to the mountain valley rainforest.

  Today, Chen Mo decided to make this last hunt, capturing the sixth-order peak demon crocodile that had escaped from his hands many times. He set off on his journey back to Changchun Valley, counting down the days until he would be able to repay his debts. After working hard for so long, the spiritual medicine and demon cores he had obtained were enough to clear all his debts.

  The purpose of this trip is that huge swamp over there, and at this moment, the crocodile is basking in the sun on the sandy beach by the lake.

  Chen Mo stopped at an old tree on the downwind side of the lake, as upwind would blow his scent towards the prey, which was one of Chen Mo's learned tricks.

  "Xiao Ba, it's up to you now." Chen Mo patted Xiao Ba on the back and said: "As usual, we'll split any good stuff later."

  For more than a month, Chen Mo has been setting up an ambush, with Xiao Ba as the bait, and they have gradually formed a tacit understanding.

  Only to see Xiao Ba swaying and swaying, came to the foot of the giant Devil Crocodile, lifted his leg, and urinated... After finishing, he used his hind legs to kick the sand towards the Devil Crocodile, as if saying I'm done, feeling great.

  The enraged alligator snapped its jaws shut just inches from the face of the turtle, who was staring up at it with unblinking eyes.

  Xiao Ba reacted quickly, dodged and weaved, and ran towards the forest in a flash. The Devilish Crocodile chased after him relentlessly.

  Suddenly, with a loud crash, the ground under the demon crocodile's claws suddenly collapsed. Before it could react, the demon crocodile fell into the pit that Chen Mo had dug in advance, its body entwined with vines, struggling desperately.

  With a "whoosh", Chen Mo's long spear shot out. However, the Magic Crocodile's armor was too thick, and the full-force blow of the spear couldn't harm it in the slightest.

  "Hey, Xiao Ba." Chen Mo looked at Xiao Ba beside him and said: "Let's go up together. You press it down, I'll finish it off. Look, its skin is thick, but the meat is absolutely tender and juicy, delicious..."

  Xiao Ba stretched his neck to take a look at the pit below, where the giant-mouthed alligator was struggling and bumping around. He thought about how tender and delicious the alligator meat would be, and before he knew it, he had drooled and nodded his head in agreement.

  But then I thought again, no, just as I wanted to turn back it was already too late.

  "Alright, go ahead." Chen's mischievous smile had already kicked himself off... You're really despicable, Master.

  But things have come to this, and Xiao Ba has no choice but to reveal his true form, struggling to fight against the Devilish Crocodile.

  Chen Mo was above, providing long-range support. Before a stick of incense could burn out, Xiao Ba had already finished off the Devilish Crocodile.

  The sun sets in the west, and Xiao Ba, who had been deceived and cheated, and had even tasted a few pieces of alligator meat, finally revealed his true form. He carried three large boxes and a pile of animal hides and bones, as well as everything else that could be sold for money, swaying back and forth on the road, all the way back to Changchun Valley.

  A rare five-product spiritual medicine, Snake Spirit Grass, Chen Mo didn't bear to exchange it for money to repay his debt. Such a treasure, many times even with money can't be bought. He simply contributed it to his respected Master Mu Lingwei.

  Then, she made a slightly bitter face and tactfully mentioned the matter of owing her money. Sure enough, Shifu was clever and perceptive, and along with selling those demon cores, she supplemented the remaining debt, making it a win-win situation for both parties.

  The days have returned to a peaceful and comfortable state.

  Every day, watering the spiritual fields in the secluded small building, learning to refine elixirs with the master, and spending the remaining time cultivating diligently. It's a life like that of an immortal.

  A feeling of oppressive atmosphere, like a stormy rain is coming and the wind is full of the building, gradually spread out in the Changchun valley.

  ……
