Chapter 147: Qing Lin’s Terrifying Talent!
The sky was a vast expanse of blue, clear and cloudless, like a gigantic blue mirror, pure and unblemished.
Suddenly, the silence of the sky was shattered by the sound of rushing wind, as a massive purple figure streaked across the sky, creating a whirlwind in its wake.
This was a huge Amethyst Winged Lion King, and on its broad back sat several figures- Gu Fei and his companions.
After two months of relentless travel, Gu Fei and his group finally reached the outskirts of the Beast Region. Their speed had been quite impressive.
"Where exactly is the anicent remains located?" Zi Yan asked Gu Fei as they arrived in the Beast Domain.
"The Beast Bone Mountain Range," Gu Fei replied, recalling that the ancient remains was located within the Beast Bone Mountain Range, the territory of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe.
The Beast Region, though not as vast as the Central Plains, was still incredibly extensive. The endless mountains, stretching as far as the eye could see, exuded a wild and untamed aura unique to this region.
Perhaps because the Beast Region was filled with forests and mountain peaks, even from the sky, there were many blind spots, adding an air of mystery and intensifying the sense of danger.
Though the Beast Region was said to contain a hundred thousand mountains, this was merely a rough estimate. In truth, the number was far greater, with these mountain ranges extending beyond human reach, hiding countless treasures within their endless expanse, waiting for the fortunate to discover them.
The Beast Bone Mountain Range was one among many, located in the south-western part of the Beast Region.
"That should be the general area," Gu Fei said as they oriented themselves and stepped into the Beast Region.
Soon, under Gu Fei's guidance, they arrived at the Bone Mountain Range.
"Be cautious from now on. This is the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe's territory, and they monitor their domain closely. If we're discovered, it could lead to trouble," Gu Fei warned his companions, who all restrained their Dou Qi in response.
In the world of magical beasts, three powerful tribes reigned supreme: the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, which was the strongest, even preying on the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe, which ranked second; and then the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe.
In terms of top-tier power, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe couldn't compare to the Void Ancient Dragons or the Heaven Demon Phoenixes, but their incredible reproductive ability made their numbers vast, securing their status among the magical beasts.
As Gu Fei had anticipated, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe's surveillance of their territory was indeed tight. Despite their caution, they were detected almost as soon as they entered their territory.
The news quickly reached the higher-ups of the Tribe, and a squad was dispatched to the Beast Bone Mountain Range to track them down. Gu Fei and his group soon encountered this squad in a desolate mountain range.
"Humans! How dare you trespass on our territory!" one of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons bellowed.
This squad consisted of three or four seventh-rank, and over ten sixth-rank pythons, none of whom posed a threat to Gu Fei's group. Despite Gu Fei suppressing his aura, the presence of Venerable Tian Huo made the pythons cautious, though not afraid, as they were confident that Gu Fei wouldn't dare make a move on their territory.
"The Beast Region is vast, yet you forbid humans from entering? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?" Gu Fei retorted, unwilling to be cowed by their threats.
"Hmph! We magical beasts are not like you humans; we have strict territorial boundaries, and this is ours! If you don't want to die, get out of here!" one of the pythons snarled.
Gu Fei frowned at their attitude, finding it increasingly unpleasant.
"What nonsense! Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons are nothing but legless, ugly worms!" Zi Yan, whose tribe was the top-ranking Ancient Void Dragons, had no respect for the numerically superior Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons.
Realizing her words might have been offensive, Zi Yan quickly turned to Medusa and hurriedly added, "Sister Cai Lin, I wasn't talking about you. You're the most beautiful in my eyes…"
Medusa merely rolled her eyes at Zi Yan, not taking offense.
Zi Yan's disdainful remark, however, infuriated the Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons, who clenched their fists and prepared to attack.
Seeing this, Zi Yan taunted them further, "What? You want to fight? Even if all of you attack together, you're no match for me!"
Though Zi Yan was boasting- her current strength was only at the sixth rank, while the pythons had several seventh-rank members- she was confident because Gu Fei was there to back her up.
Her provocation finally pushed the Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons over the edge, and they charged forward in unison.
Gu Fei, exasperated by Zi Yan's antics, shot her a look. She stuck out her tongue and nudged him.
"Behave yourself in the future," Gu Fei sighed, giving her a light tap on the head before preparing to step in. But before he could act, Qing Lin stepped in front of him.
"Brother Gu Fei, let me handle this," Qing Lin said, her green eyes flashing with a strange light.
"With your Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils... against snake-type magical beasts... Alright, they're all yours," Gu Fei said with a smile, stepping back.
The Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons were enraged, feeling insulted that Gu Fei would send a mere Dou Emperor girl to fight them.
"Let's both attack and finish her off!" Two of the seventh-rank pythons coordinated their attack on Qing Lin from both sides.
As the two pythons, whose power rivaled that of Dou Ancestor, closed in on Qing Lin, she remained calm and unmoved. Gu Fei, though a bit anxious, was ready to intervene if Qing Lin's abilities couldn't handle the situation.
As the two pythons' attacks neared, a ghostly green light shot out from Qing Lin's eyes, freezing their movements. In the next moment, both seventh-rank pythons ceased their assault.
The other Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons were still confused when these two suddenly turned and attacked their own comrades, causing heavy casualties in seconds.
Only then did they realize that their comrades had fallen under the control of this girl with green eyes.
Within a short time, Qing Lin had subdued the entire squad, nearly wiping them out.
At that moment, an eighth-rank Nine Serene Deep Ground Python appeared, attempting to ambush Qing Lin. However, Venerable Tian Huo intervened, engaging the python in a fierce battle before ultimately defeating it.
(TL/n: The fight scenes were uselessly long, so I kept them short and simple. Lmk if you guys prefer it this way or not.)
