Chapter 692: Chapter 695: ow_1
This Nine-Headed Giant Python isn’t a friendly creature to begin with, yet it becos even more horrifying under the cover of night.
The nine heads, akin to small hills, sway. Nine serpents with lethal venom spit and retract their fangs, giving anyone who sees them the creeps.
Yang Gang isn’t clear about how to differentiate the strength of monsters, but he knows that the giant python in front of him is evidently much stronger than the giant bear he and the Guinea pig tead up to kill last night. Physically at least, the two appear vastly different.
The giant bear was just a few dozen feet tall, but this Nine-Headed Giant Python stretched dozens of feet in length. If it stood up, it would tower at the height of a hundred ters, akin to the monsters in Ultraman.
They say the key to defeating a snake is attacking its vital seven inches, the weakest part.
However, the vital seven inches of this Nine-Headed Giant Python in front of him was fully covered in scales.
A weakness was almost impossible to find.
Additionally, Yang Gang could feel that the pressure this Nine-Headed Giant Python emitted was much greater than the one emitted by the giant bear last night.
What comforted Yang Gang slightly was that the Guinea pig seed to realize the giant python was not easy to deal with, and didn’t take the initiative to provoke it.
Curiously, the python didn’t attack the Guinea pig either, as if it was apprehensive of sothing.
It made a low and sharp noise, inching forward slightly.
But the Guinea pig didn’t retreat and responded with an equally sharp whistle.
After a deadlock of around ten minutes, the python retreated back into the depths of the forest, disappearing from sight.
"Phew~" Yang Gang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at the Guinea pig, thinking: "This little guy is not hunting the python, but preventing it from coming close. After all, our camp is not far."
His gaze shifted back to the dense forest, and he thought: "It seems that witch doesn’t intend to let us go. She’s a tough woman to deal with!"
Snapping back to reality, he whistled and the Guinea pig imdiately jumped onto his head.
"So, Little Ao, what’s your background?"
"Squeak squeak."
"What are you saying?"
"Squeak squeak."
"Ha~ Never mind."
Just as the duo was about to return, a massive fire broke out about three or four kiloters away to the east.
Judging by the fire, it was definitely not a campfire. It seed more like arson.
Having been in the Land of Fallen for two days, plenty such incidents had occurred, most of them murder and robbery.
"Squeak squeak"
Suddenly, the Guinea pig jumped off from Yang Gang’s head and ran towards the fire.
"Hey, don’t be nosy!"
But the Guinea pig ignored him and kept running.
Yang Gang hesitated for a mont and then decided to follow.
A mont later, the duo arrived at the scene.
On the edge of the desert, a ditch in the mountain area was in complete disarray. There were massive fires blazing everywhere and corpses laid haphazardly.
Apart from that, a rat the size of a lion, its fur a standout bright red, lay on the ground.
It clearly wasn’t a species from Earth.
This rat beast seed to be at the brink of death.
The rat beast was not small, but judging from its growth, it seed to be just an adolescent ’little rat’.
The Guinea pig ran to the side of the rat beast, squeaking twice. The rat beast also squeaked twice in response before closing its eyes and ceasing to breathe.
"Fla Rat." Lucy’s voice abruptly echoed nearby.
Yang Gang jumped in surprise. He didn’t notice Lucy approaching at all!
"Ah, sorry. I saw the fire blazing over here and was concerned, so I rushed over," Lucy quickly explained.
"Eh, it’s okay." Yang Gang paused and then asked, "You just said... Fla Rat?"
Lucy nodded. After a beat, she added, "There was an old Beast Tar who specialized in studying Different World Demonic Beasts. He ntioned that unlike the bottom position earth rats occupy in the food chain on Earth, in the Other World, rats seem to be at the top as king beasts, sothing akin to a tiger on Earth. The appearance of rat beasts on Earth from the Other World is extrely rare. That Beast Tar... um, he’s studied monsters for nearly 18 years, and he only once encountered a rat beast. It was this Fla Rat."
Lucy paused, then continued: "The Fla Rat is a powerful monster capable of spewing fire. But the fire it spews isn’t ordinary fire. It’s exceptionally corrosive. Ordinary fire can’t burn rock, but the fire spewed by a Fla Rat can easily incinerate even the hardest rock."
At that mont, Bai Tong and Ye Liana rushed over.
"Wow, this looks tragic. Looks like ’Black Glory’ is almost entirely wiped out," Bai Tong comnted.
"Black Glory? Sister Bai Tong, do you know these people?" Yang Gang asked.
Bai Tong nodded. "Sort of. Black Glory is one of the radical forces of genetic modifiers. They once tried to ally with Stabbing Gold, but were rejected by Long Yi. While Black Glory’s reputation isn’t as big as that of Stabbing Gold or Dawn of Light, their ruthlessness matches that of Stabbing Gold’s. This organization is renowned for its use of human bombs to create chaos. More than half of the terror attacks involving human bombs across the world co from Black Glory."
After she finished speaking, Bai Tong’s gaze returned to the bodies of the Black Glory mbers and she added: "The people here who died were all elites of Black Glory. The strongest among them even had LV-6 strength. Surprisingly, despite being ambushed, they were wiped out by the monster instead. This..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Gang was dumbstruck.
Although Lucy had ntioned earlier that in the Other World, rat beasts sat at the top of the food chain, the fact that a seemingly juvenile Fla Rat managed to annihilate the elites of an organization, so even being LV-6 experts, was unbelievable!
Subconsciously glancing at the Guinea pig, Yang Gang thought: "Could this guy also be a beast from the Other World? But I found him in the Hangcheng Forest Sea Snowfield. Could there be monsters in places other than the Land of Fallen?"
Thinking about this possibility sent chills down Yang Gang’s spine.
"Phew~ I must be overthinking. But the origin of the Guinea pig is indeed mysterious." He cald himself down, filled with joy, "Regardless, I’ve picked up a treasure. Although the Guinea pig’s current fighting ability is not impressive, it does possess the aura of a king. Didn’t you see how the Dark Moon Sect Witch’s Nine-Headed Giant Python was deterred by the Guinea pig’s aura and retreated without a fight?"
Then, suddenly...
"ow!"
Out of nowhere, a wild cat appeared.
