Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

The giant python writhed, shook its head, twisted its body, and coiled up again. However, the orange-yellow liquid and traces of blood flowing from its shattered eyes were quite disgusting—its enormous head was covered in dust, and even though it was wearing silver armor, it looked wretched! The golden crown on its head was truly dazzling!

It rapidly flicked its inch-long, scarlet tongue, hissing as it shook its head, seemingly a little dizzy. Only one eye remained, its golden light flashing.

This may be the first setback the python has suffered since birth; it has never encountered such a formidable enemy before!

It hesitated, unsure whether to retreat back into its cave, submit, or fight to the death.

Finally, amidst the little golden snake's constant, urgent urging and provocative voice, one of its torch-like golden eyes flashed and immediately emitted a bright light!

Clearly, it no longer hesitated. The indomitable spirit of the snake king and the years of snake king's majesty made it impossible for it to lower its noble head and submit to humans!

"hiss~"

The giant python stood tall, its aura as the snake king rising once more. It roared continuously, responding to the little golden snake's provocations, and the scene became tense again!

The naturally combative little golden snake got excited again, stood up, puffed out its cheeks, and made a "hissing" sound, seemingly with a hint of disdain!

The little golden snake, with its arrogant and self-important demeanor, seemed to have figured out the giant python's fighting style completely, showing none of its previous caution.

How could the giant python withstand such provocation?

Instantly, it pounced down, exhaling a thin wisp of white mist that enveloped the little golden snake—

At this moment, the little golden snake seemed to be stunned by the big snake's unexpected attack. It stood there, head held high, motionless!

The girl, who had been somewhat delighted just moments before, immediately turned her head away upon seeing this scene, unable to bear watching any longer.

Although Li Xingzhi was somewhat puzzled by the little golden snake's unmoving behavior, he felt that things were not so simple. However, he still couldn't help but feel some worry.

Just as the giant python opened its mouth to its limit and exhaled a breath of cold mist that had been accumulating in its mouth for a long time, a golden light flashed, and the little golden snake actually darted into the giant python's mouth, facing the cold mist!

Seeing this, Li Xingzhi was no longer worried.

Even if he didn't know much about his own pets, he knew that they were all incredibly clever. Don't be fooled by the fact that the little golden snake usually didn't move at all; when it came time to share the spoils, it was always the first one to run out.

Li Xingzhi didn't believe that such a clever little guy would put himself in a desperate situation when he had the upper hand.

That's what I thought, but my actions were decisive; I always had to be prepared for the worst.

He gently stroked the white wolf's fur to put it at ease, preparing to take the white wolf and hide inside the space if things went wrong!

Although he had some foundation in cultivation, and despite the little golden snake's easy advantage, he would likely be no match for the snake king in just a few moves. Moreover, a swarm of snakes were watching from the outside, and to engage in a direct confrontation now would be tantamount to suicide!

As the enormous snake coiled its massive, eerily long body before them, flicking its long, somewhat unsettling red tongue and staring at them with a chilling expression, Li Xingzhi's heart sank to the bottom.

At this moment, the snakes in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes also began to stir, flicking their scarlet tongues and making a series of chilling sounds, as if celebrating the king's victory!

Suddenly, the giant python raised its head, its ferocious mouth wide open, revealing several sharp fangs—it let out a strange, ear-piercing scream! At the same time, its single eye shot out an unprecedented golden light!

The valley immediately fell silent again, the stark contrast making the situation extremely eerie.

All the snakes flicked their tongues, lowered their heads, and remained silent. Only the giant python stretched out its neck and opened its mouth wide, facing the sky. However, its piercing eyes, after flashing with golden light, immediately dimmed and turned ashen.

Upon hearing the roar from the giant snake's mouth, Li Xingzhi's head went blank. It felt as if a thin needle had pierced through one of his ears, through his head, and out of the other! His head throbbed, ached, and itched! All the muscles in his body stiffened!

Just then, his internal energy circulated rapidly, and his body recovered in no time. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, it did not affect anything else.

The girl on his back wasn't so lucky; she was knocked unconscious by the piercing, shrill sound. However, her relatively even breathing relieved Li Xingzhi.

As for the white wolf, although he didn't faint immediately, his somewhat listless appearance clearly showed that he had suffered quite a bit!

Seeing that the girl and the white wolf were both unharmed, Li Xingzhi immediately turned his attention to the giant python.

The giant python was still stretching its neck and tilting its head back, its mouth wide open—his ears twitched, and he noticed a gurgling sound coming from inside the python's body!

He moved a little closer and looked closely at the snake, only to find a small thing sliding towards its mouth.

Could it be——

He watched the little creature wriggling and darting inside the giant python's body, gradually sliding towards the snake's mouth—then, emboldened, he took a step forward, staring directly at the wide-open, somewhat ferocious maw.

Just as he was waiting expectantly, a golden light appeared in the giant maw and began to move upwards—

Li Xingzhi looked at the golden bead, about the size of a ping-pong ball, that was gradually emerging from the snake's mouth, and felt a strange unease—although he was extremely curious about the golden bead inside the snake king's body, he was more worried about the little golden snake's condition.

The golden one was finally fully revealed, wedged perfectly between the fangs, unable to move any further.

The snakes in Snake Valley began to stir again, making unsettling noises that pulled Li Xingzhi back to reality.

He turned his head and saw the snakes constantly flicking their scarlet tongues, their eyes gleaming with a cold, greedy light as they drew closer. He knew something was wrong!

If the snake king hadn't been standing there, these venomous snakes would probably have already pounced on him!

However, looking at the King of Ten Thousand Snakes with its huge head raised, he hesitated again—fearing that the snake king might not be completely dead yet, and if he were bitten, it would be a big problem!

Regardless, the Snake King's imposing presence always made Li Xingzhi somewhat wary.

"Boom-"

Just as Li Xingzhi gritted his teeth, preparing to take the tempting golden bead from between the giant python's fangs, the bead suddenly moved again and fell directly to the ground from the python's mouth.

When the snakes saw the fallen golden pearl, they paused for a moment, then rushed over at an even faster speed, as if their lives depended on it!

"Snapped!"

As soon as the golden pearl emerged from the snake's mouth, the giant python was as if its bones had been ripped out, its raised head crashing heavily to the ground—its single, dull eye instantly turned grayish-white; its gleaming silver armor lost its original luster; and the golden crown protruding from its head instantly transformed into an ugly, scarlet tumor!

Li Xingzhi looked at the boneless, rotten flesh in front of him, and even faintly smelled a disgusting stench!

Where is the former Snake King's majesty and demeanor?

He looked at the fallen giant python with disgust, and was about to pick up the golden bead when suddenly, a golden light leaped out of the snake's mouth—wasn't that the little golden snake?
