章 17: Twin Tailed Python
Heart heavy, Wang Tao slowly departed with Kiki and a subordinate towards the "bait" they had to bring to the Goblin settlements. He did not bring Fire with him, as he was useless for this situation and neither could he take Ying Yue and old man Zhang with him due to the 'friendly reminder' of Huang Lu.
"I didn't know you can communicate." spoke Wang Tao in his mind as he walked forward
"After you have contracted me, the human language became like my first language, master. But i never had the chance to communicate to you before." answered Kiki with a soft gentle voice, just like a young girl in puberty
"Neither i knew you are a girl..." chuckled Wang Tao
"Gender has no meaning to us of the Kikiyaon race. Let's talk about this later, i'm curious what kind of creature are we supposed to bait this time."
"Are you gonna be okay, Kiki?"
"Master, you must have forgotten that after we contracted, you can resummon me after 7 days even if i die." said Kiki in an attempt to comfort Wang Tao's heavy heart.
The main reason she actually revealed her ability to speak was because she could feel his worry and anger for her when Huang Lu spoke. Until now, she was unresigned to be a slave for a human, regardless of the contract.
If she was given enough time to grow stronger and suppress Wang Tao's contract's power, she could easily escape the grasp of this terrible system that binded her soul with Wang Tao's. But now, after feeling the change of emotions in his heart when he heard that disgusting man speak of using her as bait, a part of her heart melted down just like a young ladies.
When has someone treated a beast like her with such care, to get angry at his own race just for the sake of a monster that others would have killed to gain treasures from?
A small sigh escaped Wang Tao's mouth before his eyes turned to look at the man beside him.
"How long will it take until we reach that monster you want us to bait?" asked Wang Tao coldly
"Hehehe, you don't have to be so excited, we will be there soon." spoke the man snickering at Wang Tao's impatience
The man was just another nobody before the world changed. He had nothing, he was what people called "trash of the society". After doing some dirty jobs for Huang Lu in the past, he soon became his left hand. Now, after the world changed, by following Huang Lu, his status in the eyes of the people has changed, as others looked at him with jealousy and admiration for his powers.
Moving through the alleys, the trio soon approached the Yon City's train station where the monster was supposed to be.
Hiding behind a corner, they could finally see what the monster looked like.
It was actually a humongous Python! Seeing a python that reached the size of a truck, Wang Tao was utterly shocked.
"This is your target. How are you gonna bait him is your problem, i'm out of here! Remember, if you refuse to cooperate, who knows what will happen to that beautiful lady and the old man...hahahaha!" the man trembled as he looked at the Python, before turning around to leave as fast as possible.
The Python looked like it was in slumber. According to Huang Lu, after devouring countless beasts, it went into slumber to slowly digest it's prey. What was strange was that the Python actually had two tails that it used to coil itself around with, protecting it's head and body in case of a sudden attack. It's skin was protected by strong scales just like a lizard's and the color of it's body was pitch black with weird yellow designs, making it look mystical.
Checking it's informations, Wang Tao was stupefied for a moment.
"Twin Tailed Python, Level 23 - ???"
After leveling up, Wang Tao realized that he could only see the level of enemies with 20 levels above him, but the other informations were actually restricted, which made him frown in apprehesion. If this Twin Tailed Python woke up...
A sigh of helplessness came out of Wang Tao's mouth before his eyes turned resolute.
"Lift me up, Kiki. I'll try to Seal! the Python then you shall run at your fastest speed towards the goblin settlements. If we have any mishap, both of us will die."
Kiki's head turned to 180 grads as she looked at this human who became her master. Not only was he not cowering in fear letting her do the dirty work, but he also wanted to assist her by both of them acting as bait, increasing their chances of survival even if they were slim to begin with.
*hoooooo!* *hooooooooo*
Two long screeches came out of Kiki's mouth as her wings extended, before lifting up from the ground. Using her talons that could slice a person into pieces, she gently pulled Wang Tao in the air.
The cries of Kiki resounded in the city as echoes formed from her cries, alerting the roaming monsters.
Huang Lu and his group soon heard the sounds made by Kiki, as greed flashed through his eyes.
Licking his lips, Huang Lu thought 'It's finally starting...'
*hissssssssssss!*
A thunderous snake's hissing could be suddenly heard, just like a clap of thunder, scaring all the flying monsters that were sitting on buildings, before the sky turned into a big shadow as the beasts scattered in every direction.
*boom* *boom*
The sound of buildings collapsing suddenly accompanied the hissing and hooting in the air, making every living being tremble.
"What's that sound!!!"
"Look, look! Buildings are collapsing!!! We should run!!"
"Stop panicking, wait, the sounds are going further ahead! It's like..it's heading to the central part of the city!!"
"Isn't that where the Goblin settlements are?"
"It should be, doesn't that mean that brat actually succeeded in baiting that monster?"
Cries of panic and excitement could be heard from the people gathered together as the earth trembled and the booming sounds in the distance became louder and louder.
"Let's go!"
Having said that, Huang Lu took the lead being the first, followed by his subordinates. The others looked at each other and also followed behind.
"Is he gonna be alright...?" mumbled Ying Yue, her eyes red
If it wasn't for her and old man Zhang, Wang Tao alone could have already flee. But instead of running, he put himself in danger just to save them...
"It's gonna be okay. Just believe in him." said old man Zhang calmly, but his heart was also in chaos
