Chapter 98 – Jungle Python Eggs

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the Sixth regular chapter of this week.)

“That’s just sick! Brother Bi Fan you’re a freak, and that Chimera is a freak too!” Wang Zhong exclaimed.

“Damn, how does this make me a freak? The Chimera sure is one…” Bi Fan was extremely gloomy all of a sudden.

Wang Zhong smiled: “This Chimera is too strong, it’s practically a freak. And since you managed to tame it, you’re a freak too.”

“…”

Bi Fan really didn’t have a come-back.

“Oh man, the Jungle Python’s skin is definitely gone now, and fire will take its flesh too. I don’t think its blood will be able to withstand that combustion either.” Bi Fan sighed as he looked at the fire-flooded body of the serpent.

The Jungle Python continued to shriek for a while, and then eventually silenced to its death. Its body was soon reduced to ashes, and a sparkling nucleus fell to the ground.

“Ah! The Jungle Python gave out a nucleus!” Bi Fan and the others were extremely, and pleasantly, surprised.

The Chimera, suddenly, scuttled out of the woods, and ran out towards the Nucleus.

“Chimera, don’t take the Nucleus!” Bi Fan said in a loud voice.

“Gulp.” The Chimera quickly gobbled up the nucleus, and immediately fell into a deep sleep to refine the Nucleus.

“Brothers, the Chimera acted very greedily. I’ll try to come up with some way to compensate you all.” Bi Fan smiled apologetically.

Lone Leaf said: “Brother Bi Fan, you’re too polite. There’s no need to apologize, or compensate us in any way. The kill belongs to the Chimera, so if he took the Nucleus, then I consider it justified. We may not have been able to kill the Jungle Python on our own. However, the Jungle Python was probably guarding a very precious Panacea, so if you give us a share of that reserve, then I would consider myself very grateful.”

“Yeah, I agree with him.” Blue Dragon laughed in agreement.

Wang Zhong didn’t say anything on the subject. Anyway, he was Bi Fan’s subordinate.

“Well, then let’s go and see what the Jungle Python was protecting.” Bi Fan quickly incorporated the sleeping Chimera into his pet belt, and the started walking in the direction where the Chimera had been hiding.

They were keenly looking around as they made their way forward, since they didn’t want to miss out anything valuable.

But they were unable to locate any precious herbs; all they found was a low-grade herb, which was as good as useless in terms of market worth.

They continued to follow the trail which was left behind by the Python’s body, and soon found themselves standing in front of a mountain.

The mountain was almost three hundred meters in height, and was covered with a vast selection of trees.

After careful observation, the four of them managed to discover an immense, and deep, cave, which they suspected was probably the deceased Jungle Python’s lair.

“Let’s go in and check this out. Everyone must remain at guard.” Wang Zhong cautioned.

Wang Zhong took the lead, as he was the most experienced member in their team.

The interiors of the cave were very dark, but that wasn’t about to effect Bi Fan, and his team, very gravely, as Bi Fan was gifted with a night vision.

The texture of the cave’s floor, and walls, was extremely smooth, which was probably as such due to repeated friction with the serpent’s body.

The four of them, carefully, and slowly, walked through the cave; after a long while, the finally managed to reach the end of the cavern.

The deepest part of the cavern was an open space, which had probably served as the Serpent’s residence. There was no roof in this part of the cave, and the sunlight was brightly illuminating the cave, creating a panoramic view.

“Snake eggs!” Blue Dragon cried out in excitement.

The rest of them followed Blue Dragon’s gaze to the corner of the opening, where six, basketball sized, eggs lay, glistening in a brilliant white light.

Wang Zhong exclaimed: “Looks like we hit a jackpot! But we need to make sure that these eggs are able to hatch, since baby Jungle Python can prove out to be very useful if tamed properly.”

“If that’s the case, then let’s divide them.” Bi Fan laughed.

Wang Zhong said: “First we need to see if these eggs are alive; dead eggs are useless.”

He personally walked up to the eggs, and inspected them one by one, after which he spoke: “All the eggs are alive, but how do we divide them up?”

“I only want one.” Lone Leaf was prompt: “After I’m able to tame it, I will no longer need to envy Brother Bi Fan’s Chimera.”
