Chapter 6151 Earth Vein Bull Python
Long Chen and the original devil race’s experts carefully followed a map, all on high alert. They didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless.
Suddenly, a growl came from the path ahead.
Everyone shuddered and froze as if their organs had flipped. They nearly coughed up blood. Even third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords were no exception.
The four Cursed Spirit Blood Crows were quivering and hid behind their masters, not daring to move.
Yue Xiaoqian was shocked. What kind of lifeform could release a growl this powerful?
The growl was clearly a warning from the existence beyond this point, declaring for Long Chen and the others not to trespass.
Long Chen had spread his senses as far as he could in this place, yet the other side had sensed them first.
“Long Chen, we should go around,” suggested Yue Xiaoqian.
This growl could penetrate the soul, drawing out a person’s most primal terror. Whatever it was, it definitely came from a supremely terrifying existence, something that could wipe them out if they provoked it.
The only one reacting differently to that growl was Long Chen. Bewildered, he couldn’t help but ask the Earth Cauldron.
“Senior, did I mishear? Could it be...?”
“Yes, it is,” replied the Earth Cauldron.
“Xiaoqian, stay here with everyone else. I’m going to take a look,” said Long Chen.
“Long Chen...!”
“We are already deep in Sovereign Fall Land. There are dangers everywhere. Even if we go around, we might run into something worse. It’ll also delay us. Let me take a look first. If it’s really no good, we’ll go around,” said Long Chen, signaling for them to hide.
He summoned his Kunpeng wings and vanished. Seeing him scouting ahead, all the original devil race’s experts were left worried.
Half an incense stick later, another growl rang out. Long Chen’s soul quivered as a terrifying killing intent locked onto him.
The moment Long Chen was targeted, the surrounding space began to freeze. But this only confirmed his guess—he was familiar with this aura.
He was close. Flying over a mountain, what appeared in his view was a giant head—a python’s head, but with a pair of large bull horns.
This massive head was even larger than a mountain, and most of its body was buried underground. Judging from just its head, if it revealed its full form, this mountain range wouldn’t be able to contain it.
The horned python’s ferocious eyes locked onto Long Chen.
“Human race brat, are you courting death?”
“The great desolate species, the Earth Vein Bull Python?” Long Chen muttered, surprised.
The Earth Vein Bull Python was a hybrid of the Spirit Profound Bull and the Heaven Vein Blood Python. The chance of such a cross-species fusion succeeding was extremely low—even in the primal chaos era.
Furthermore, the Earth Vein Bull Python couldn’t reproduce. Thus, this lifeform had remained only in legends.
Long Chen observed it closely. It possessed a vast amount of earth vein energy—it was like the embodiment of the earth’s laws.
In front of this Earth Vein Bull Python that had power comparable to a late-stage Sovereign Lord, Long Chen fearlessly smiled.
He greeted, “Wow, brother, it’s been a long time!”
“Scram! Who is your brother, you shameless fellow?!” cursed the Earth Vein Bull Python.
“Brother Sixth, now that’s uncalled for. Ever since last time, I’ve been thinking about you. Isn’t that a bit too hurtful?” Long Chen chuckled.
At this moment, a tiny green parrot appeared on top of the Earth Vein Bull Python’s head. It pointed a wing at Long Chen and furiously cursed, “You damn plague, don’t try to scam me! Last time, you conned me out of my puppets and my curse art! You still haven’t paid me back, and now you’re here again?!”
Seeing the green parrot, Long Chen laughed. As expected, his senses had been correct. The growl from before had contained its fluctuations, causing Long Chen to suspect it. However, he wasn’t sure until the Earth Cauldron confirmed it.
“Come on now, Brother Sixth. We're brothers! It’s normal to owe each other a little—it’s part of the bond. We had to part so soon last time, and now I come to greet you and you curse me? Look, I didn’t even get angry! I greeted you warmly! Don’t you think you’re being a petty little bird?” Long Chen shrugged.
“Me, a petty little bird?! You took my things and conned me out of my secret art, and you call me petty?! Don’t you have any shame!?” raged the green parrot.
“Yes, you really do seem too petty. If you’re going to act like this, I’ll just return those puppets to you,” Long Chen said, pretending to pull out a spatial ring.
“Scram! They are nothing in front of me now!” snorted the green parrot.
Even if you wanted it, I couldn’t give it back, Long Chen thought to himself with a grin. Dealing with familiar folks really was easier.
Long Chen flew right in front of the parrot and asked, “Brother, can I come in?”
Long Chen’s gaze then shifted downwards.
As expected, it’s another puppet. It’s already under this fellow’s control.
“Hey, what do you think you’re looking at?! I can tell with just a look that you’re trying to scam me again! You can fuck right off! Don’t even try to get anything out of me again! I’ve recovered some of my power—killing you now would be easier than squashing a chicken! But since you’re a nine star heir, I won’t make things difficult for you. Just leave,” the green parrot shouted, looking at Long Chen with disdain.
“Brother Sixth, that really hurts. How can you treat your brother like this?”
Long Chen smiled and took a step forward.
Seeing that smile, the green parrot instantly became vigilant and retreated a few steps.
“That wretched smile again! Stay back! If you have something to say, say it from there!”
Long Chen laughed awkwardly. “Brother Sixth, the Heaven Soul Blood Curse you gave me last time—it’s truly unparalleled beneath the heavens...”
“Of course! My curse technique is naturally unmatched! Who in the world can resist it? Back then... well, never mind. Anyway, don’t try to flatter me into forgiving you. I still remember how you threatened me last time!” the green parrot said proudly, then snapped back to wariness.
“Senior, this guy’s gotten smarter,” Long Chen said mentally to the Earth Cauldron. “Not easy to trick anymore. What should I do?”
“He’s recovered quite a bit of his strength. It doesn’t look like you’ll be able to fool him. Just be honest,” advised the Earth Cauldron.
