Chapter 573: Demihuman’s Creativity (1/2)

“Leader! Come, there’s a Fiori Python here! It’s a python that knows necromancy skills. It can summon two zombie warriors. It can also absorb necromancy energy on the battlefield and attack enemies by becoming a wandering spirit!”

“Hurry, don’t let it escape!”

“......”

Within a muddy thorny forest in the Thorns Swamp, a huge python over seven meters long was surrounded by a large group of demihumans. The scales covering its body were purple and triangular, and two red flesh crowns rested on its head.

Looking at the ferocious demihumans waving their weapons and charging towards it, the furious python became confused and scared instead.

Did these demihumans eat something wrong?

The demihumans were normally cowards. However, they seemed like bullies right now.

Zaza......

Sounds of branches breaking came from one direction.

Thorny trees toppled one after another as a path was being carved open.

Many huge figures appeared amongst an even larger number of demihumans.

The instant the python saw the arcane masters riding on those huge figures, it started trembling.

When Ayrin, who was riding on the Shoal Lord, saw the python, he immediately asked Belo excitedly, “Belo, how about this monster?”

Behind the five Lord monsters, there were already many monsters of various types.

They looked beaten up as bloodstains covered their bodies.

“It’s one rank lower than Lord level, but it’s a self-evolution type monster. Once it has fought and cultivated for a sufficient period of time, it can evolve into a Spirit Lord.” Belo pushed up his spectacles and snorted, “By then, other than summoning two zombie warriors and gathering spirits, it can camouflage itself too. Only some high level detection arcane skills can see through its location.”

“A monster that can evolve to Lord level?” Ayrin’s eyes sparkled. He shouted towards the python, “Oi! Your fighting strength seems decent, it would be a pity to eat you. You better surrender now!”

“Surrender! Surrender now!”

“You hear our Leader? If you dare to resist, we will skin you alive!”

The demihumans swarmed towards it.

The furious python could not even begin thinking about resisting...... Over a hundred crude weapons were pressing against its body and a dozen demihumans already climbed onto it.

One demihuman standing on the python bowed towards Ayrin and called out excitedly, “Leader! Leader!”

That demihuman’s ancestor might be related to goats. His face was similar to a goat except for the lack of horns. His face was rough and was full of bumps. Dried mud stuck on his face and made him look very dirty.

Compared to many other demihumans around him, he seemed rather skinny.

“What?”

Ayrin looked at that demihuman strangely, unsure of what he was trying to do.

The dirty demihuman pleaded with an anticipating expression, “My respected and elegant Leader! I am your humble slave Venu! May I ask if you can reward this Fiori Python to me as my mount?”

“Your mount?” Ayrin was surprised.

Venu continued to bow and spoke, “Yes, Leader! I am amongst the first batch of demihumans to follow Leader. I was also the first to climb onto it, I have the right of priority!”

“I’m also in the first batch!”

“I climbed onto it at the same time as you did! Why should it be rewarded to you?”

The demihumans around him began complaining.

“Shush! Because I know how to make it my mount, I can make it fight for Leader!”

Venu was respectful towards Ayrin, but turned domineering when facing the demihumans around him.

“You know how to make it listen to you and become your mount?” Ayrin, Rinloran and the others glanced at one another and felt this was somewhat interesting.

To an arcane master, there were only two ways of taming a monster into a mount. Either by being much stronger than the monster and forcefully conquering it with arcane skills, or nurturing it from birth with love and care.

The simple-minded demihumans with only better physical strength than arcane masters would not be able to control monsters with arcane skills.

“Yes, my respected Leader!”

Venu excitedly pointed at the part below the two flesh crowns of the python, “I know that spot is the weakest part of the Fiori Python. If you use a sharp weapon and stab there, it will immediately die! So, I just need to make a special collar and put it there. If it refuses to listen to me or fight for Leader, I just need to contract the collar and the sharp spike on the inner side of the collar will pierce into that spot and kill it!”

Hearing his words, the python shook and almost went berserk. However, it was too scared and held back.

“You actually thought of such a way?”

Ayrin and Rinloran were surprised.
