Chapter 93: Battling the Python
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Since he could not figure it out, he would not think about it anymore. Romo stood on the mountaintop and watched, waiting for the two of them to suffer injuries, and then Romo would be able to sit back and reap the benefits. These two magical beasts were both at the peak of level-6. When they fought, the commotion was really huge. A large portion of the forest had been destroyed like grass in their battle. Several mountains had even been destroyed in their battle. This made Romo speechless. Even if he were to go up and fight any of them, Romo would not have the confidence to win.
“Impressive, impressive!” Romo said with a sigh, watching with relish. However, at this moment, the giant python suddenly stopped attacking. Its huge head turned in Romo’s direction, and two lantern-like snake eyes looked directly at Romo. Its snake tongue, which was a few meters long, was even flicking continuously. Its powerful mental strength swept across and instantly locked onto Romo. Then, it let out a loud roar and charged rapidly at Romo!
“Damn, what’s going on?” Romo was instantly dumbfounded when he saw the situation. He had been enjoying the show, so why was he suddenly exposed and discovered by the giant python? Moreover, it seemed that the giant python seemed to hate him more than the Five-Color Peacock. Otherwise, it would not have abandoned the Five-Color Peacock to pursue him. He had concealed his aura very well. How had he exposed himself?
Romo was dumbfounded, but he immediately thought of a reason. Could it be that he had just plundered the python’s home and had even jumped into the spirit pool to retrieve the Water Moon Stone? His body must have been tainted with the aura of the spirit spring water. It had to be known that the python usually soaked its entire body in the spirit spring water, so it was definitely very familiar with the aura of the spirit spring water. And now, he also had the aura of the Spirit Spring Water on him. The python must have discovered this and abandoned the Five-Color Peacock to attack him! Damn it, why was he so careless? He had only concealed his magical aura and not the aura of the spirit spring water on his body! Great, the python hated him now.
Romo was very dismayed. He had wanted to be the one to reap the spoils from the battle, but now, he had become the fighting party. However, was this giant python retarded? It had actually provoked him in the midst of the battle with the Five-Color Peacock. Wasn’t it afraid that the Five-Color Peacock and himself would attack it from front and back? With this thought in mind, Romo walked round the giant python and looked at the Five-Color Peacock behind it. He actually saw the Five-Color Peacock stop its attack!
“Damn, what’s going on now? Is the Five-Color Peacock so stupid? It is actually not taking the opportunity to attack the giant python?” However, it was already too late for Romo to continue thinking because the giant python had already come close to him. Then, it opened its bloody mouth toward Romo and spat out a dark green poisonous mist. Instantly, it turned into a large poisonous cloud that swept toward Romo from all directions. Romo saw all the plants in the surroundings immediately withered, upon contact with this poisonous cloud, and turned into ashes. A wild rabbit-type magical beast had originally been hiding underground, but it was alarmed by the huge commotion and ran out. In the end, it came into contact with the poisonous cloud and was immediately reduced into a pool of carcass fluid. Romo was speechless when he saw this. The toxic cloud was really fierce. Romo immediately activated his magical power, and a huge magic formation instantly rose under his feet. Then, Romo waved his hand, and immediately swept up a gust of wind which blew dozens of kilometers away. Even the surrounding trees were blown away by the strong wind.
Romo had accidentally inhaled a little of the poisonous mist, and he immediately felt as if his body was on fire. Romo immediately activated his magical power to force out the little bit of poisonous mist that had been inhaled into his body. Then, he cast a magical shield to protect himself. However, the poisonous mist that was everywhere kept corroding his magical shield. This forced him to continuously inject magical power into the magical shield to prevent it from dissipating. Otherwise, once the shield scattered, the poisonous cloud would directly cause harm to his body.
Previously, when the python was fighting with the Five-Color Peacock, he had also used this move. However, the Five-Color Peacock had innately mastered very powerful wind-based magical power. With just a flap of its wings, it could blow away the poisonous mist and was not injured at all. Romo’s wind-based magical power was obviously inferior to the Five-Color Peacock’s. Romo had no choice but to retreat. He had to leave the range of the poisonous mist. Otherwise, Romo would be at a great disadvantage if he were to fight within the poisonous mist region. After the poisonous mist had dissipated, Romo released his mental strength in an attempt to lock onto the python. However, Romo was surprised to find that the poisonous mist could even affect his mental strength. It could only allow Romo to explore a distance of tens of meters. If it were any further, his mental strength could not reach at all.
Romo quickly retreated, and at the same time, he was on full alert. However, after Romo had flown for more than ten kilometers, his surroundings were still filled with poisonous clouds. Romo was shocked. Could it be that the poisonous clouds were also moving with him? Romo could only continue to retreat. As he retreated, the giant python hidden in the poisonous clouds did not attack him at all. After flying for another ten plus kilometers, he finally saw the border of the poisonous clouds. At this moment, Romo suddenly felt a huge threat, and saw a huge snake head sweeping up a poisonous cloud and biting at him, wanting to devour him.
Romo dodged quickly and kept emitting several gusts of cold air. This cold air had always been Romo’s best attack method. Previously, no matter who he was dealing with, as long as the cold air pounced upon the other party, he would immediately be frozen to death. However, this time, after Romo’s cold air had struck the giant python’s body, it merely left a layer of white frost on its scales. Other than that, no harm was done. Romo turned speechless. The giant python’s defense was too strong.
Romo then fought with the giant python for a few more rounds. He turned around and looked at the Five-Color Peacock, which was already dozens of kilometers away. Romo immediately understood. The giant python had deliberately driven him tens of kilometers away before fighting. This was to prevent the Five-Color Peacock from suddenly attacking it.. Furthermore, the other party had not attacked him just because of the aura of the spirit spring water, but because it had been injured in the battle with the Five-Color Peacock and wanted to eat him to recover from its injuries, and then continue to fight with the Five-Color Peacock. It turned out that the giant python was not stupid but very smart!
