Chapter 4 – Battling the Colossal Python King (2/2)
As she spoke, she withdrew a piece of talisman paper from the little pouch in front of her dress, and then she directly slapped it onto Yang Ye’s shoulder.
When the talisman paper was slapped onto Yang Ye’s shoulder, it transformed into a strand of golden light that entered Yang Ye’s body. Once the golden light entered his body, Yang Ye instantly felt his spirits raise, and it felt as if energy was das.h.i.+ng throughout his body.
He didn’t have the time to carefully sense the changes in his body before Yang Ye picked up a stick by his side and charged towards the python king.
He really wanted to rest for a while, but would the python king give him such a chance? When the little girl stuck that piece of talisman paper on his shoulder, the python king had already started charging towards the two of them.
This time, the Colossal Python King had obviously become serious. Its enormous mouth opened up and revealed the scarlet red tongue within it that was the size of an arm.
As he gazed at that b.l.o.o.d.y mouth that was more than three times the size of his head, Yang Ye felt his scalp go slightly numb. He didn’t know where he got the courage to go against a Colossal Python King that was a rank higher than him, but he knew that if he ran while on such flat ground, then he would absolutely die. Since it was like that, it was better to go all out because this way, he would still have a slight chance of survival.
Ha!
When he thought up to here, Yang Ye was rid of even the slightest shred of hesitation, and he shouted explosively as he sped up, and he charged towards the python king with the stick in hand.
When it noticed Yang Ye charging towards it, the python king flicked its scarlet red tongue, and then its body twisted. With the front of its body as support, its tail swiftly swept horizontally towards Yang Ye again. Everywhere its tail pa.s.sed, the ground was covered in a mess, and pieces of leaves covered the sky!
Yang Ye’s eyes squinted when he saw the tail sweeping towards him, and his figure suddenly knelt down to the ground and skid forward. When he felt the tail sweep past his face, Yang Ye let out a furious shout and revealed a savage expression. He suddenly slapped the ground with his left hand and utilized the force from it to leap up, and then he held the stick with both his hands before suddenly stabbing it down fiercely at the fist-sized right eye of the python king!
This was a move in the Basic Sword Technique. Even though it was only a wooden stick in his hand, he had no other choice and could only make do with it.
Hiss!
The python king hadn’t expected that its tail would miss. So, when it noticed the stick a.s.saulting its eye, it moved its head to the side and avoided the stick. However, the stick had still pierced into its head. The python king’s body instantly started to twist violently, and at the same time, the python king’s tail swept upwards and coiled around Yang Ye’s waist.
When he noticed that he’d actually pierced through the dark scales of the Colossal Python King, Yang Ye was first stunned, yet he didn’t have the time to feel overjoyed when he sensed tightness coming from his waist. After that, intense pain swept throughout his body, and it felt as if his waist was about to break.
Yang Ye was horrified when he noticed the python king had twisted its tail around him. Right at this critical moment, the mysterious tiny vortex within his body finally stopped being stingy, and the golden Profound Energy surged ceaselessly into his normal Dantian.
When he sensed the Profound Energy enter his body, Yang Ye didn’t have the time to think too much about it. He abandoned the stick and circulated the Profound Energy within his body to his fists, causing a light golden glow to flash on his fists. After that, he smashed his fists down fiercely onto the python king’s tail as if he’d gone mad.
To Yang Ye’s surprise, every single punch of his had actually struck the dark scales of the python king to the point of sinking down. He knew that it was definitely the effect of that talisman paper and the light golden Profound Energy within his body. Because he was clearly aware of his own strength, and it was absolutely unable to harm the Colossal Python King!
When she saw the light golden Profound Energy on Yang Ye’s fists, the eyes on Bao’er’s pale face lit up, and she muttered. “Gold Profound Energy. This little laborer actually possesses Gold Profound Energy from amongst the Profound Energy of the five elements!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Colossal Python King was clearly in pain from Yang Ye’s frenzied punches! Its tail gradually loosened while the scales on the spot where Yang Ye’s fist descended had already been blasted off to reveal the scarlet red flesh of the python king.
After being in a short stalemate, the Colossal Python King had fallen into a disadvantageous position. Because its tail was already on the verge of being smashed into two pieces by Yang Ye. As it sensed the intense pain that came from its tail, the Colossal Python King loosened the grip of its tail and allowed Yang Ye to drop to the ground, and then it retreated by a few meters before its fist-sized eyes gazed at Yang Ye while flowing with a ferocious glow. However, it carried a trace of fear this time.
Meanwhile, Bao’er hurriedly ran over to Yang Ye’s side before stretching out her hand to support his falling figure, and then she said, “Little laborer, continue bas.h.i.+ng it. It actually chased Bao’er for two hours because of a low-grade Profound Rank spirit herb. If Bao’er didn’t have a Strider Talisman, then Bao’er would definitely be in its stomach.”
Yang Ye gasped when he heard this. A Profound Rank spirit herb! Now, he knew why this Darkbeast was chasing her.
Spirit herbs were extremely valuable, and they were divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Ranks. Yellow Rank spirit herbs could be purchased in the mortal world for over 10,000 gold coins. To Yang Ye, 10,000 gold coins were already an astronomical figure. After all, his pay from a month of work was only a few tens of gold coins!
As for the Profound Rank that was a rank higher than the Yellow Rank, Yang Ye was truly unable to imagine how many gold coins it could sell for! Most importantly, the value of spirit herbs to Darkbeasts was equivalent to the value of high grade cultivation techniques to humans. It carried lethal attraction to them.
Bao’er frowned when she noticed how weak Yang Ye seemed to be, and then she placed her hand into the little pouch before her dress. After that, she drew out a green colored talisman and a white colored talisman before slapping it onto Yang Ye’s body, and then she said, “Little laborer, continue bas.h.i.+ng it. Bao’er will cheer for you.”
The corners of Yang Ye’s mouth twitched when he heard this, and he glared fiercely at Bao’er. Right at this moment, he felt his spirits being refreshed once more as a strand of strange energy entered his body. That strand of strange energy swiftly flowed an entire round through the meridians within his entire body, and then he felt the exhaustion he experienced from the battle being wiped away completely. Moreover, his entire body was filled with strength!
It wasn’t just that, he even felt the energy of the heavens and the earth in the surroundings ceaselessly surging into his body. In the end, they surged through his meridians like a torrent.
Suddenly, the tiny vortex started revolving at high speeds, and then all of this Profound Energy vanished within his Dantian at a speed that was swifter than the eye could see. After another two breaths of time, a strand of light golden Profound Energy suddenly flowed out from within the tiny vortex.
Yang Ye was delighted in his heart when he sensed the changes in his body, and then he glanced at the little girl’s pouch while feeling shocked in his heart. He knew that the Profound Energy that appeared within his body earlier was definitely the result of the little girl’s talismans. However, he didn’t have the time to ask her about it now. Because there was a fifth rank Darkbeast by his side.
As he sensed the surging Profound Energy within his body, Yang Ye gazed at the Colossal Python King while twisting his neck, and then he let out a burst of savage laughter. After that, his right leg stomped on the ground, allowing his figure to charge out explosively, and his right fist whistled through the air as it smashed towards the Colossal Python King’s head.
