C14 (2/2)

As they went deeper and deeper into the mountains, the number of magical beasts increased, and their strength increased as well.

Bai Chen's strength was only at the Beginner Spirit Master level. Moreover, because he was a Body Cultivator, his physical strength was much stronger than an ordinary Spirit Master. A person at this level could at most train in the outskirts of the mountain range.

Within the mountain forest, Bai Chen cautiously walked forward, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings like a radar.

Before long, Bai Chen heard the sound of water flowing, and headed towards the source of the sound.

Pushing aside the grass that was half the height of a person, a small clear river appeared in Bai Chen's line of sight.

Just as Bai Chen was about to go get some water to quench his thirst, his eyes fell on a magical beast on the left side of the river.

It was a colossal python with an ash-gray body. The length of the python was about seven to eight meters, because the color of its body was very similar to the color of the earth. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to discover.

”That is …” Poison Mist Python? ”

Upon seeing the python, Bai Chen immediately exclaimed in his heart.

The Poison Mist Python's strength was comparable to a human High Spiritualist, and it was considered an overlord level magical beast in the outskirts of the Night Mountain Range.

At this moment, the giant python was drinking water. Bai Chen was secretly surprised that he had discovered it, this fellow was the overlord of the outer regions, and with Bai Chen's current strength, he was definitely not his match. If he was discovered, he would not even be able to preserve his life.

Leave before that guy finds out!

This was what Bai Chen was thinking at the moment. Even though he had come to the mountain to train himself, the poisonous mist python was clearly not his target.

He was very careful to not make any noise, but an accident happened right at this moment.

”Crack …”

Suddenly, a light sound rang out. Bai Chen stepped on a dried up tree trunk the moment he turned around.

The sound of a tree trunk being crushed could be heard, and Bai Chen's heart sank upon hearing the sound.

”I …”

At this moment, Bai Chen even had the heart to curse.

Next to the river, the poisonous mist python that was drinking water suddenly turned its head. Although the sound was soft, the poisonous mist python had the strength of a High Rank Spirit Master. It could hear such a soft sound.

Run!

At this moment, there was only one thought in Bai Chen's mind. His body seemed to have a natural reflex as he hastily ran forward.

It wasn't because he was too timid, but because the Poison Mist Python was too strong. A High Rank Spirit Master's strength was sufficient to kill Bai Chen. At this point in time, it would be a lie to not be nervous.

He used all the strength in his body to run forward at his fastest speed. He only stopped after he ran until he was completely exhausted.

”Phew …”

Bai Chen immediately sat down on the ground and panted heavily. After running for so long, coupled with the nervousness in his heart, even a Body Cultivator would not feel comfortable.

Just as he was gasping for breath, Bai Chen frowned, as if there was something wrong.

Poison Mist Python was a Snake type magical beast known for its speed and poison gas. Coupled with its strength being at the level of a High Rank Spirit Master, it shouldn't be too hard for it to catch up to a Primary Rank Spirit Master like Bai Chen. However, after running for so long, he didn't get chased.

Magical beasts and humans were naturally opposing races. When they met each other, they would always kill each other. This was not hatred, but a hostile nature between different races.

That noise had alarmed the poisonous miasma python, but the poisonous miasma python did not chase them. Bai Chen could not figure it out.

”Could it be …”

Just as Bai Chen was getting curious, a hypothesis suddenly flashed through his mind. However, he couldn't be sure.

Bai Chen did not continue to flee but stayed where he was. After a long while, he still did not see the poisonous mist python chase him. At this point, he was certain that the poisonous mist python did not follow him.

Bai Chen hesitated for a moment before he decided to head back to the river.

On the way back, Bai Chen was extremely cautious. Once again, he approached the river, but this time, he could no longer see the Poison Mist Python.

After confirming that there were no magical beasts around, Bai Chen hurried over to where the poisonous mist python was.

He saw that on the shore, there was a large amount of blood stains. The blood stains extended all the way to the north.

Bai Chen was shocked when he saw this. It seemed like he had indeed guessed right. That poisonous python from before had been seriously injured!

Magical beasts would kill each other when they saw humans, which was a natural rule. Generally speaking, there were only two reasons why magical beasts didn't chase after humans. The reason was either because the powerful magical beasts knew that they were no match for them, or because magical beasts couldn't catch up to them.
