Looking at the Water Moon Stone, Romo was very happy. Haha, after 500 years, this treasure had finally fallen into his hands. In the future, as long as there was this Water Moon Stone, there would always be spirit spring water to drink. Although he had no use for it now, he could give it to the family members to drink. Everyone’s cultivation base would increase rapidly once they drank the spring water.
Romo quickly stored the Water Moon Stone in his Storage Ring. This was definitely the best treasure he had obtained from his treasure-hunting trip. However, Romo looked at the pool of spirit spring water and felt that he could not let so much spirit spring water go to waste. He had to take all of it with him. However, the space in Romo’s Storage Ring was too small. It was full after he stored just one Water Moon Stone. There was no place left to store so much spirit spring water.
And, where had that giant python gone? It did not seem that it had been killed. If someone had killed the giant python, he would not have left behind such a good treasure like the Water Moon Stone. There was only one scenario, which was that the giant python had gone out. As for where it had gone, Romo did not know. However, this was a good opportunity. He could go to the giant python’s nest. There might be some treasures there. For instance, the level-11 Great Archmage who had fought with the giant python 500 years ago had been eaten by the giant python, but the Storage Ring of the Great Archmage would certainly not have been digested. It might even be in the giant python’s nest.
Romo immediately searched around. Sure enough, on a cliff opposite, there was a cave. This was the python’s nest. After Romo had entered, he saw that the space inside was very large. He came to the end of the cave and indeed, he discovered that there were many human bones here. There was still a lingering magical aura on these bones. It was obvious at a glance that they were the bones of a Great Archmage with extraordinary strength.
Unfortunately, they had all become food for the python. And beneath the bones were more than one magical weapon. Romo did not check carefully. He quickly picked these things up and stuffed them into his Storage Ring. What made Romo most happy was that he had really found Storage Rings, and there were three of them. Two of them were bronze-tier Storage Rings. The space in them was not very large, but there was also a high-grade gold-tier Storage Ring. The space in it was more than 20 cubic meters. After obtaining these Storage Rings, Romo became ecstatic. With these Storage Rings, he would be able to take all the spirit spring water with him!
After another round of plundering, he saw that there was nothing good left. Romo was about to hurry back to the spirit spring and take it with him. But at this moment, Romo suddenly heard a sound like a dragon roar. Romo was very familiar with this cry. It was the cry of the python.
Romo was shocked. Could it be that the python had known that its home had been plundered and had rushed its way back? However, he immediately calmed down because he could tell that the cry was not from nearby, but from at least hundreds of kilometers away. The angry cry was clearly not directed at him, and after the cry, there was a tremor beneath his feet. Romo immediately knew that this had to be the python engaging in a battle hundreds of kilometers away. To be able to sense the vibration from such a far place, it seemed that the battle was rather intense.
After Romo had left the cave, he looked in the direction of the battle. Romo had even forgotten to store the spirit spring water. He flew directly in the direction of the battle. Soon, Romo saw a large number of magical beasts fleeing in all directions. There was even a middle-stage level-6 magical beast fleeing for its life. It seemed these magical beasts were all worried that they would also be harmed, so they fled quickly.
However, Romo was not afraid at all. He knew from the loud roar of the giant python just now that the giant python had definitely not broken through to level-7. As long as it was not level-7, Romo was not afraid. He was currently at the peak of the Great Archmage realm, and he also had the physique of an innate spirit body. His combat strength was terrifying. Even if it was the giant python, Romo was confident of fighting it. Otherwise, he would not have dared to come here. At this moment, it was obvious that this giant python was fighting another enemy, and they were on par. This meant that Romo did not even have to attack. This giant python and the other enemy might both suffer injuries and then be picked up by Romo. It should be known that this was a giant python at the peak of level-6. Its entire body was filled with treasures. Romo had rushed over now with the intention of picking up the scraps.
In a short while, Romo could clearly sense the intense battle ahead. He extended his mental strength and captured a brutal aura. This aura was very familiar. It was the aura of the giant python. When Romo sensed the aura of the giant python’s enemy, he was instantly surprised. This was because Romo was actually very familiar with the other aura. It was just that for a moment, he could not remember who this aura belonged to.
He immediately increased his speed. When he reached the top of a mountain, he saw the two sides fighting below. One of them was a pitch-black python more than a hundred meters long. This python was covered in hard black scale armor. The most eye-catching thing was that there were two protrusions on its forehead, which were dragon horns. When these two protrusions became full dragon horns, it would advance to level-7, from a python to a Flood Dragon! At that time, even if a Divine Mage were to come, he might not be able to defeat it.
This was the giant python Romo had seen before, and the one fighting with him was a Five-Color Peacock. This Five-Color Peacock had spread its wings, which were at least 50 meters long. With a flap of its wings, the surroundings instantly seemed to be assailed by a level-12 hurricane. Sand and stones flew everywhere. It was very terrifying. It also emitted an exceptionally powerful aura, and it was not inferior to that of the giant python at all. These two magical beasts were both at the peak of level-6. They were just a little bit away from breaking through to level-7.
Upon seeing the Five-Color Peacock, Romo was stunned. He had also seen this Five-Color Peacock when he was alive. However, he had not seen it near this area but elsewhere. He had not expected the Five-Color Peacock to actually come to this place and even fight with the giant python. Furthermore, it seemed to be a battle of life and death, as Romo had seen obvious wounds on both the giant python and the Five-Color Peacock. There were also many traces of the huge battle in the surroundings. It was obvious that they had already fought for a very long time.
However, Romo could not understand why the two of them were fighting. Typically, battles between magical beasts would be fought over territory, but this place was beyond the territory of the python. Either they were fighting over a mate, which was definitely not the case as they were not of the same species, otherwise, they could be fighting over natural treasures. This should also not be the case.. If there were really natural treasures, Romo would be able to sense them.
