Chapter 578

After losing this 450,000 man army, it could be said that the Xiao Family was finished from now on! Furthermore, even after the waterway is unblocked, the Heavenly Water Ravine Pa.s.s would no longer be the natural barrier that it was . At the same time, Ling Tian would never give the Xiao Family a chance to stage a comeback . Ling Tian would definitely seize this strategic location and the Xiao Family's natural barrier would be transformed into the Ling Family's battle station!

After losing a large number of soldiers and causing their people to lose their wealth, the Xiao Family would not have any ability to contend with the Ling Family!

As long as Ling Tian cleared up the current mess, he would be able to stably sit on half the continent .

A flood which should have never happened had actually created such a huge effect!

His victory with Yu ManLou's five-year bet was determined!

No wonder their young n.o.ble would spend so much effort to dam up this huge river! Thinking about the benefits that diverting the river brought them, Ling Jian finally understood what Ling Tian's plan was!

However, only their young n.o.ble had the ability to make such a plan into reality . Even if someone else was able to come up with such a plan, how would they have the ability to dam up the river?

Looking at Ling Tian who was standing by the cliff, everyone could not help but be filled with reverence in their hearts!

A human was actually able to perform such a miracle that only a deity can perform!

”I never imagined obtaining such unexpected gains . ” After carefully studying the water level, Ling Tian was finally at ease . With both the mountain peaks collapsing, it was like a gigantic dam separating the upstream from the downstream . The water level of the upstream increased and the downstream… the downstream no longer had any water and was drying up .

At the highest point of the dam, it was still about a hundred feet away from the water . It was impossible for the river water to rush through the dam because it had already begun flowing in all different directions and towards the battlefield…

The many members of the Xiao Family would definitely receive a huge 'surprise'!

Being at ease, Ling Tian could finally study that 'aboriginal' gigantic snake .

Ling Tian never imagined that this explosion would give him such a unique complimentary gift . The head of the snake in front of him was as thick as a water tank and the body of the snake was probably 50% thicker than the head . For a snake to grow to such a humongous size, at least 800 to a thousand years would probably be required .

Such a gigantic snake was enough to be called a demon . If he didn't dissect this gigantic snake, it would be a waste of the heaven's blessing .

This gigantic snake was also extremely unlucky . It was originally having a good rest after its meal but was rendered unconscious by the sudden explosion . After finally regaining consciousness, it tried fleeing towards the outside . In the end, the cave over its head collapsed down and a gigantic boulder smashed on its weakest point… In all of its life, it probably never dreamt that it would die such an unjust death…

If it chose to hide in the cave obediently, even if the mountain collapsed, it would only suffer some injuries and fall back into the river . However, it was frightened by the previous explosion and had tried to escape from the cave… as such, the tragedy unfolded .

”d.a.m.n! What a gigantic snake!” Ling Chi finally snapped back from his daze and realized that there was another unlucky fellow near him . This fellow was already addicted to Ling Tian's barbecued food and upon seeing a live animal, he was used to thinking, 'Is it fat? Is it yummy?' . . .

With a 'hmph', Ling Tian lifted up his sword and sliced off the head of the snake without a single shred of mercy . The purplish blood of the snake spurted out and apart from a dense fishy smell, there was actually a fragrant plant scent .

Ling Tian quickly took out a jade bottle from his embrace and licked the blood of the snake . In Ling Tian's memories, even though snake's blood was a supplement, this was the first time Ling Tian had seen such a gigantic snake . Before he could be certain of whether or not there was venom in the blood, Ling Tian would not allow Ling Jian and the rest to drink it . If he were to test it first, even if there was venom in the blood, he would be able to endure it with his inner strength of the tenth level of the Divine Shocking Dragon Formula . However, the others may not be able to endure it .

As the snake blood went down his throat, it was not as spicy as Ling Tian imagined it to be but had a freshness to it instead . Knowing that the blood had no venom, Ling Tian stopped suppressing it with his inner qi and used his inner qi to speed up the absorption of the snake's blood instead . After a complete circulation, Ling Tian's inner qi returned to his inner core and Ling Tian felt a slight wave of heat surging through his body before quickly dissipating . At the same time, his spirit was also lifted .

Not only did the snake's blood not contain any venom, it was also rather beneficial . Ling Tian had consumed the best spiritual herbs before and the top quality Great Cyclic Pellet . It was difficult for ordinary herbs to have a large effect on Ling Tian anymore but the snake's blood was actually capable of creating a reaction in his body . The effect of the blood was naturally extraordinary!

After coming to a conclusion, Ling Tian opened his eyes, ”Everyone is in luck . All of you should drink some of the snake's blood . Not only is the blood not venomous, it is beneficial to one's cultivation . But even if it is beneficial to the body, it wouldn't be good to drink too much of it . Everyone should be limited to a single bowl . ” Although there wasn't venom in the blood, Ling Tian was still worried . Snake's blood had an aphrodisiac effect, and even the blood of an ordinary snake was a great supplement . All of Ling Tian's subordinates who followed him here were all young and vigorous men . If their hormones were to go out of control right now, it would be an unbearable feeling for sure . Being in the depths of the mountains, there wasn't a place for them to vent their urges…

The moment they heard that there wasn't venom, everyone was immediately energized and rushed forward to swallow the snake's blood . With such a beneficial supplement in front of them, how could they be bothered about the one bowl limit that Ling Tian said? Each person quickly swallowed a couple of bowls .

After drinking a couple mouthfuls, Ling Tian took out two jade bottles and filled them up . Thinking about how his body felt a wave of warmth when consuming the snake's blood, Ling Tian wanted to bring it back to see if it was beneficial for Divine Black Negative Meridians .

With the combined efforts of everyone, the gigantic boulder that was pressing down on the snake was moved . Only after a full hour of effort were they finally able to uncover the huge snake .

”My goodness, is this still considered a snake?” a burly man shouted as he looked at the gigantic corpse in amazement . ”This fellow is far too big! I wouldn't be surprised if this fellow can swallow a cow whole! I dare to make a bet that even three to five cows aren't enough to feed this snake . No wonder we didn't see any large beasts along the way here . All of them were probably eaten up by this fellow . ”

According to Ling Tian's estimates, the thickest cross-sectional area of this fifteen meter long snake was at least two square meters and the overall weight of this snake was two to three thousand catties at the very least!

Everyone was astounded .

Just how did a snake grow to such a size? When Ling Jian was drifting around the continent, he had once killed a three to four hundred-year-old snake . The body of that snake was also extremely large but in comparison to this gigantic snake, it was akin to comparing a rabbit to a pig!

”We're rich!” After seeing the layer of exquisite scales on the snake, Ling Tian tried pulling one off with his hands . Seeing that it wouldn't budge, Ling Tian put away his Heaven Splitter and grabbed the blade of one of his subordinates . Swinging it down on the snake, he was only able to make a small mark on the snake's scales .

Even though the blade was forged from ordinary iron, the edge of the blade was tempered by Black Iron . Together with Ling Tian's strength, even if he didn't use all of his might, it was enough for him to slice through steel like it was mud . However, Ling Tian was only able to make a small mark on the snake! The toughness of the snake's skin was unimaginable!

With the gigantic body of this snake, just how many pieces of soft armor would they be able to make?! If Ling Tian could equip some of his Ling Family Courtyard subordinates with this armor and also forge a top quality armor for his father, he wouldn't need to always worry for his father's safety . Especially Ling Jian and the other a.s.sa.s.sins of the First Pavilion, if they put on a soft armor of this quality, they would be virtually unkillable when carrying out an a.s.sa.s.sination! With Ling Jian's a.s.sa.s.sination standards, if he had such a heaven-defying piece of equipment, how many people in the world would be able to escape from him?

Thinking about this, Ling Tian almost wanted to let out a loud roar of excitement!
