When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

After Zhu Chongjiu and Xiao Hei left the group, they returned along the way they came. When they reached the border between Shenxu Lake and Shenxu Swamp, the two of them stopped.

Xiao Hei turned to Zhu Chongjiu, who was sitting on its back, and asked, "Brother Jiu, where are we going next?"

Zhu Chongjiu turned to look at the depths of Shenxu Lake and said, "Judging by the time, there are still more than twenty days until the hunting season ends. Let's go back to the entrance of Shenxu Lake and send back the resources we obtained."

"Don't let any unexpected situations arise and delay our important business." After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Xiao Hei waved its four paws and flew swiftly towards the exit of Shenxu!

Xiao Tian and his group of six had arrived at the Shenxu Mountain Range and the lair of the Shenxu King. Standing opposite them was the Shenxu King, with a small snake coiled on his arm.

Xiao Tian asked coldly, "Divine Void King, we were in danger just now, why didn't you help us?"

Do you want to just watch me die?

Don't forget your mission and role, and don't forget your superiors!

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's threatening words, the Divine Void King chuckled evilly and replied: "My mission and role don't seem to be about protecting you, do they? Although your father, Xiao Feng, has connections with my superiors!"

Furthermore, I have never forgotten the mission and purpose for which I was sent here, and I have been carrying it out all along, said the God of Emptiness with a hint of anger.

Upon seeing Shenxu King's attitude, Xiao Tian immediately put on a smiling face and said to the dragon-patterned python coiled on Shenxu King's arm: "Senior Python, your son might have been skinned alive and had his tendons pulled out if it weren't for me just now."

I'm not saying this to ask you for a favor, and of course, you don't have anything that I would be willing to repay!

I just want to tell you that you can't easily let go of this kind of hatred, which is like killing your own child.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, the Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python extended its snake body and spoke in a human voice, replying to Xiao Tian: "Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for saving my son's life. As you have said, I have nothing that would please you, so I can only keep this kindness in my heart!"

Secondly, regarding the hatred that Young Master Xiao mentioned, I truly believe that my son has been spoiled and indulged by me since he was a child. A hundred words of instruction are not as effective as a fall on his own. This incident can also teach him that there are always people better than him and help him to restrain his temper, which is not necessarily a bad thing!

Upon hearing the words of the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python, Xiao Tian's expression changed slightly. He then provocatively said to the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python, "Senior, both of your son's fangs have been pulled out by that person!"

The Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python calmly replied, "It's alright, it can grow back!"

Xiao Tian's expression grew increasingly grim. Just as he was about to say something more, the Divine Void King spoke up: "That's enough, Young Master Xiao." Then, the Divine Void King looked up at the void and whispered: "Ten days later, all Emperor-level demonic beasts shall ambush and kill Ninth Brother in the Misty Dead Forest. If he leaves the Misty Dead Forest, then we will cease our pursuit!"

Then, Shenxu King remembered something and added: "A group of five or more Emperor-level demonic beasts must be formed, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Then he said to the dragon-patterned python wrapped around his arm: "Little python, go to the border of the Misty Dead Forest and wait for the arrival of the various demonic beasts. Return after ten days!"

After a moment's thought, the Divine Void King added: If we are no match for them, we must prioritize our own lives.

Obeying the command, the Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python instantly flew off the arm of the Divine Void King, growing larger and larger in mid-air until it reached a body nearly three thousand feet long, and then sped off towards Zhu Chongjiu.

After the Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python left, the Divine Void King asked Xiao Tian, ​​"I wonder if Young Master Xiao is satisfied with this arrangement?"

Xiao Tian dangerously cupped his hands and replied: "Everything is up to the Divine Void King's orders. I have nothing else to do here, and I need to go back to prepare for the calamity of the Ice and Snow Continent, so I will take my leave now!"

After saying that, Xiao Tian and his five bodyguards turned around and disappeared in a flash!

Five days later, with Xiao Tian traveling at full speed, he arrived at the border of the Divine Void Swamp!

As Xiao Hei flew, it said to Zhu Chongjiu on its back: "Brother Jiu, in about ten thousand miles we will reach the border between Shenxu Swamp and Shenxu Plain. After we get to Shenxu Plain, I need to rest for a while. I'm a little exhausted!"

Okay, at the current speed, we'll reach the border of the Divine Void in another seven or eight days. There's still enough time!

Just as the two were chatting, Xiao Hei felt Zhu Chongjiu on his back suddenly jolt!

Xiao Hei asked, "Ninth Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhu Chongjiu replied with a solemn expression, "There is a very strong malevolent aura ahead."

What should we do, Ninth Brother? Should we continue forward or...?

Let's keep going, I want to see who it is!

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "Could it be that Xiao Tian sent someone to ambush me?"

If that's true, then I won't let him off easily this time!

Twenty kilometers from the edge of the Divine Void Swamp, Xiao Hei suddenly stopped and stammered, "It's bad, Ninth Brother! It's Little Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python's father, the Old Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python, who's here to block our way!"

Zhu Chongjiu replied: Nonsense, I've already seen it, do you need to tell me!

Zhu Chongjiu could see with his naked eye that in the distance ahead, a giant python, as large as a mountain, was coiled up at the edge of the Shenxu Plain!

Without a word, Zhu Chongjiu dismounted and, ignoring Xiao Hei's resistance, put Xiao Hei into his storage ring before flying towards the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python!

Zhu Chongjiu stopped when he was one kilometer away from the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python!

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the Dragon Pattern Heavenly Python and sighed inwardly. It was really too big, especially the two huge fleshy bulges on the sides of the top of its head, which looked like they were about to break through the ground. It seemed that what Xiao Hei said was not just a legend. It should be about to grow horns and transform into a dragon. However, the Dragon Pattern Heavenly Python was also observing Zhu Chongjiu.

Zhu Chongjiu spoke first: "Are you here to avenge your son?"

The Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python stretched out its massive head and said in a deep voice, "You could say that, but the main reason is that I was asked to do it!"

Oh? You were entrusted by someone? Could it be Xiao Tian?

The Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python continued calmly, "Young friend, I will only stop you for five days. After five days, no matter what, I will not stop you from going anywhere!"

Oh? You're going to block me for five days instead of beating me up or killing me?

You gods are really interesting. The main question is, why do you think you have the ability to stop me?

As he spoke, Zhu drew the great sword he was carrying on his back!

The moment Zhu Chongjiu drew his great sword, the Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python felt a chill run down its spine, and a sense of impending death washed over it—a feeling it hadn't experienced in thousands of years!

The Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python stared intently at the great sword and said, "I wonder if you, young friend, can fight without weapons, relying solely on your own strength and magical skills?"

Why can't I use my weapons? Am I stupid?

Besides, you want to keep me here for five days. Who knows what kind of schemes you have up your sleeve? What if you send other demonic beasts to the entrance of the Divine Void during these five days and wipe out my team?

After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, the Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python said in a calm tone: "Young friend, rest assured, any action taken this time will only be aimed at you. Your team will not be harmed in any way, not only your team, but also your Celestial Steed!"

Furthermore, what you said makes sense. It's unfair that you can't use your divine weapon. I'll grant you one request: if you don't use that sword, regardless of winning or losing the battle, I will compensate you with thirty rare and precious materials. What do you think, young friend?

Zhu Chongjiu lowered his head and pondered for a while before looking up and saying, "Forty pieces, not one less!"

The Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python readily agreed, "Alright, deal!"

Seeing that the Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python agreed so readily, Zhu Chongjiu slapped his thigh hard, his face showing regret, and said in annoyance, "Damn it, I asked for too little!"

After the youngest son spoke, Zhu Chongjiu immediately shouted, "Myriad Gods Fist!"

Zhu Chongjiu unleashed a hundred punches and ten thousand gods in an instant, and the massive body of the Dragon Pattern Heavenly Python was instantly engulfed by the shadow of Zhu Chongjiu's ten thousand gods fists!

Looking at this magnificent scene, Zhu Chongjiu muttered to himself, "A great man once said, 'All fear stems from insufficient firepower!'"

Zhu Chongjiu knew that this dose was no match for the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python. Sure enough, after the fist shadows and dust dissipated, the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python remained coiled in place. Its head, which had been sticking out, retracted into its body. When the attack ended, the python's head poked out again!

The Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python mocked Zhu Chongjiu, saying, "Young friend, have you not eaten enough? You've tickled me!"

Zhu Chongjiu replied angrily, "Fine, fine, so you want to play like this? You're the first person to say I'm weak. If it weren't for your age, I wouldn't have the heart to hit you. You'd be so arrogant!"

Hey hey hey, watch out! I'll make sure your medical insurance card is overdue!

The dragon-patterned celestial python did not retaliate; instead, it retracted its head into its body.

Zhu Chongjiu used all his strength, unleashing the Myriad Gods Fist and the Yang God Finger, attacking for two hours. The body of the Dragon Pattern Heavenly Python emitted an earthy yellow light similar to that of the Giant Spirit Hippopotamus.

Although both emitted an earthy yellow light, the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python's color was much deeper and richer than that of the Giant Spirit Hippo.

In two hours, Zhu Chongjiu only damaged a hundred scales the size of a single bed. As for the flesh inside the scales, for a monster of this size, it was just a superficial injury!

Zhu Chongjiu hovered in the air, panting heavily, thinking to himself: This won't work. Before I can kill the other side, I'll exhaust myself to death first.

This old monster's weakness must be on its belly, but he couldn't hit it. Zhu Chongjiu was so anxious that he kept scratching his head.

Ah, I've got it! You're not moving? Okay then, since your scales are so hard, I'll collect some today to make armor and shields for Tongli and the others when we get back!

Zhu Chongjiu landed on the dragon-patterned celestial python, bent down, and put his hands into the gaps in the scales he had just damaged, shouting: "One, two, three, rise!"

With a powerful kick of his legs and a forceful pry of his hands, a scale came off with a tearing sound, and Zhu Chongjiu put it directly into his storage ring!

The dragon-patterned python beneath my feet trembled slightly, almost imperceptible unless you were very careful!

123 Tear, 123 Tear, as Zhu Chongjiu tore off more than two hundred scales, the dragon-patterned celestial python under his feet finally couldn't hold back any longer and transmitted its voice to Zhu Chongjiu: "Young friend, can you stop what you're doing now?"

If you want my scales, I have quite a collection of scales that I've shed over the past few thousand years. I'll give you a lot after this is over, so you won't have to go through all this trouble!

Zhu Chongjiu stopped what he was doing and said to the dragon-patterned celestial python at his feet: "I can have a real fight with you, but can you do it like this? It's not fun for me!"

The Dragon-Patterned Heavenly Python spoke up: "It's not that I look down on you, young friend, but you need to exert a lot of effort to break through my defenses. Apart from that sword, what do you have to fight me with?"

Upon hearing the words of the Dragon Patterned Heavenly Python, Zhu Chongjiu flew into the air and sneered, "Old snake, you have really angered me. Do you really think that I am invincible because of my great sword?"

Do you really think that I'm so fearless because of my brute strength and speed?

I was originally planning to spend a few more days with you and try to get some information out of you, but it seems there's no need for that now. I'll go find the Divine Void King later and then I'll know everything. I don't want to waste any more time on you!

After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, his aura surged, becoming many times stronger than before.

Oh, right, Old Snake, I forgot to tell you something. I'm not just a martial arts mage, but also a magic mage. Today, I'll show you something different.

"Absolute zero, a frozen wasteland!"

As mentioned before, when Zhu Chongjiu was learning magical techniques, he would always make improvements on his own.

The martial arts techniques or spells that Zhu Chongjiu used were all from before they were improved.

Absolute zero is an improved version of the glacier!
