Free Web NovelChapter 424: Chapter 420: Two-headed Black Flood Dragon
Upon entering the Yaoling Mountain Range, Tu Xiao’an willed it, and the Bull Demon King suddenly appeared.
"Master, you finally let me out! I was bored to death in there."
"The Yaoling Mountain Range?" The Bull Demon King sniffed the air, his tone a mixture of shock and certainty.
Tu Xiao’an looked at him. "Weren’t you one of the White Demon King’s subordinates? You can lead the way."
"Master, the Demon Kings’ Domains are all in the deepest parts of the range, and each has their own castle. The White Demon King’s castle is in the Azure Bamboo Forest Domain."
"Castles?" Tu Xiao’an was taken aback. ’That’s pretty high-class.’
"No matter. We’re not in a hurry. Let’s head toward the Azure Bamboo Forest slowly." Tu Xiao’an was very interested in the Yaoling Mountain Range, and he also wanted to use this trip to grind some monsters and level up.
He wanted to increase his Evolutionary Energy to 100,000 if possible.
After walking for three kilometers, Tu Xiao’an could already sense the auras of many Awakened Creatures, and even a fair number of Spirit Monsters. He couldn’t help but grow excited.
The Blackbird was no longer by Tu Xiao’an’s side. The moment they entered the Yaoling Mountain Range, it had taken off like a horse breaking its reins, flying off in a single direction.
Tu Xiao’an was happy for the peace and quiet, and he wasn’t worried that the Blackbird would be in any danger or that it would simply run off.
Though the Blackbird had left, the Bull Demon King began to chatter incessantly. He was incredibly happy, as if he were returning home.
As they walked, Tu Xiao’an dealt with any Awakened Creatures he came across. From time to time, his Thunder Shock would lash out, killing them formlessly.
The amount of Evolutionary Energy gained from Devouring was different than that from a simple kill.
A simple kill yielded only half, but Tu Xiao’an didn’t want to transform into the Purple Gold Snake right now, so he would have to accept getting less.
It was an effortless task anyway, and he still managed to increase his Evolutionary Energy by several thousand within an hour.
Rank One Awakened Creatures provided less than one thousand Evolutionary Energy. Only a Rank Two Spirit Monster could provide over a thousand.
Tu Xiao’an continued grinding monsters as he walked and didn’t need the Bull Demon King’s help; its only job was to lead the way. Just then, Tu Xiao’an looked up and saw a colossal, ancient tree in the distance. It stood tall and straight, its dense leaves spreading out like a great green umbrella, blotting out the sky.
The surroundings were lush and green, thick with vines and branches. The tree was frighteningly large, as if it were trying to rival the very heavens in height. But it wasn’t the tree’s magnificence that caught Tu Xiao’an’s attention.
It was the cold, sinister aura emanating from the tree. As Tu Xiao’an and the Bull Demon King drew closer, they saw a massive python coiled in its branches. It was as thick as a person’s waist and over twenty meters long. Its body was covered in nearly parallel black stripes, and these stripes grew thicker the closer they were to its head.
The front of the giant python split into two triangular snake heads, and the forehead of each was slightly raised.
Seeing this snake, Tu Xiao’an’s eyes lit up. ’A Spirit Monster Level Snake Species! And a rare mutation, no less.’
’A snake like this could have dominated She Mountain and ruled as a king.’ freēwēbnovel.com
The reason it was a mutation was because it was a Two-headed Snake.
It even bore a slight resemblance to Tu Xiao’an’s own.
’Insight.’
"Ding... Two-headed Black Flood Dragon, Level 23, Mutant Snake Species."
When the Insight data appeared, Tu Xiao’an’s eyes narrowed. He saw that the massive Two-headed Snake was about to sprout horns from its heads. It was on the path of transforming from a snake into a Flood Dragon.
Once it reached Level 25, it could probably grow its Flood Dragon Horns completely. In the future, after attaining its apotheosis, it would undergo its Flood Dragon Transformation and become a mutant Two-headed Flood Dragon.
’A two-headed mutant, and on its way to a Flood Dragon Transformation... this Snake Species is extremely precious. Its bloodline is extraordinary.’
Tu Xiao’an observed the Two-headed Black Flood Dragon in the ancient tree with an appreciative gaze, nodding as if in acknowledgment of the snake’s power.
Of course, he was more than qualified to appraise it with such a look.
"HISSS... Who are you? How dare you intrude upon the Domain of I, the Black Flood Dragon King! Are you looking to die?"
The Two-headed Black Flood Dragon coiled in the tree had spotted Tu Xiao’an and the Bull Demon King, and it roared in human speech.
Its voice was imperious, cold, and full of killing intent. Its appearance was exceptionally terrifying.
Tu Xiao’an chuckled, finding this rather amusing. He said teasingly, "I, the Snake King, am here. All snakes must submit. Black Flood Dragon Snake, are you not going to come down and prostrate yourself in worship?"
"Nonsense! I can see you’re clearly a human. Are you tired of living?" the Two-headed Black Flood Dragon’s twin heads swayed, its presence menacing.
Tu Xiao’an gave the Two-headed Black Flood Dragon an incredibly cold look. Suddenly, an immensely powerful and sinister Snake King aura erupted from his body. As it spread out, it instantly enveloped the Two-headed Black Flood Dragon.
In that instant, terror filled the four eyes on the Two-headed Black Flood Dragon’s two heads, and it immediately became filled with fearful reverence.
"Hmph. Still not coming down to prostrate yourself in worship?" Tu Xiao’an snorted heavily.
The Two-headed Black Flood Dragon had lost all trace of its menacing air. It slithered down dejectedly, its massive, twenty-meter-plus body lying straight on the ground before Tu Xiao’an.
"The Black Flood Dragon Snake pays its respects to the Lord Snake King."
The aura of an enthroned Snake King could make any Snake Species submit, and what’s more, Tu Xiao’an’s Level completely crushed his opponent’s. A snake like this could not resist Tu Xiao’an’s aura unless it achieved its apotheosis and completed its Flood Dragon Transformation.
"Master, this snake looks pretty good. It would be very impressive as a mount," the Bull Demon King suggested with a grin. Walking through the Yaoling Mountain Range one step at a time was just too time-consuming.
The snake was over twenty meters long and as wide as a person’s waist. Standing or riding on it would be no problem at all.
The Two-headed Black Flood Dragon immediately said, "This humble snake is willing to serve the Lord Snake King!"
This kind of Spirit Monster snake that had gained sentience was extremely clever. It hurriedly tried to curry favor, terrified that it would become Tu Xiao’an’s next meal.
For a Snake King who had achieved Transformation, eating it would be mere child’s play.
Tu Xiao’an smiled but said nothing. With a thought, the form of the Three-headed Snake suddenly appeared before him.
The Three-headed Snake was currently only a meter long, and it swayed its three heads. As soon as it appeared, it saw the enormous, twenty-meter-plus Two-headed Black Flood Dragon, and greed instantly filled all three of its heads and all six of its eyes.
It was as if it had laid eyes on a gourmet meal.
Tu Xiao’an looked at the Two-headed Black Flood Dragon and said, "You have only one chance to live, and that is to defeat my Three-headed Snake."
"If you lose, it eats you. If you win, you eat it."
Snake eating snake was perfectly normal; it was the law of the jungle where the strong preyed on the weak.
With that, Tu Xiao’an gestured to the Bull Demon King and walked off to continue on their way, not even interested enough to watch.
"Master, are you just leaving the Three Snakes like that? If it loses, isn’t it doomed?" the Bull Demon King asked worriedly.
After all, the Three-headed Snake was only Level 21, while the Two-headed Black Flood Dragon was already Level 23.
The Three-headed Snake was at a disadvantage in terms of both Level and physical size.
Tu Xiao’an strode forward and said calmly, "My Three-headed Snake is a Super Class mutant that possesses the bloodline of the Ancient Nine-headed Serpent. If it loses to this wild Two-headed Black Flood Dragon, then it is useless to me."
"You’re right, Master, you’re right," the Bull Demon King hurriedly agreed. But he kept looking over his shoulder, wanting to watch the battle between the two mutant Snake Species.
By the time Tu Xiao’an and the Bull Demon King were several hundred meters away, two terrifying auras unique to the Snake Race shot toward the sky. A fifteen-meter snake with three heads and six eyes, and a twenty-meter-plus snake with two heads and four eyes, had begun to tear into each other. The scene was incredibly bloody.
