Chapter 402 - The Disaster on the Mountain (1/2)

Looking at those lantern-sized eyes, Iza Kawatani recognized it instantly. “O… Orochi?” His eyes opened wide.

Iza Kawatani’s family were the decedents of the god who created this world, though people did not believe those stories completely. Orochi, for instance, had allegedly died a long time ago. But now it was still alive, which proved that parts of those stories were true. Most people did not believe it as it sounded a bit odd and quite unconvincing.

Iza Kawatani spoke in a serious tone, “The stories about Orochi has been told many times in our family. It says that its eyes are red lanterns and people will feel terrified if they were near it. But it also says that it was killed by Susanoo a long time ago. It is said that it has eight heads, trunks and tails. It can burn skies and drain oceans. Though this beast seems to be formidable, it is not as powerful as Orochi. But it also has red eyes and white skin, and seems really vile. Is it really Orochi’s kind?”

Orochi was the most formidable demonic beast in Country R’s history. All the men gathered there felt a chill of fear when they heard Iza Kawatani comparing this serpent to Orochi. Even the two patriarchs felt a pang of panic. “My lord, please make a decision.” They pleaded. “

Its eyes gleamed with greed as it saw the scattered martial artists in the mountain. It lashed out and seconds later 6 or 7 men were devoured. Some of them tried to fight and some of them tried to run. But they seemed so small in front of the serpent. Masters below the level of Innate Realm were nothing to Orochi.

Iza Kawatani shook his head and said, “Retreat and get back to the ship!”

Then the men near him shouted out his orders to the rest of the group. Their voices echoed in the mountain. Many powerful masters began retreating even before they got the order.

But it was too late for them to run. A snakehead rose from a crack in the middle of the mountain, then came its body, which was hundreds of meters long. It was the one who left Xiao Bing to look for them. The men on the mountain were scrambling to leave. There were eight of them who almost reached the foot of the mountain, but Orochi caught up with them and bit off their heads. Then it feasted on their bodies.

There was one serpent at the top and one in the middle. The humans who had not been killed were trapped on the upper half of the mountain. They were all more powerful than the dead ones. Almost twenty of then gathered around Iza Kawatani and the rest of them were also coming to him as soon as possible. After all, Iza Kawatani was the legend among the masters of R Country. They all believed in him, no matter what happened, much like how the commandos in Cathaysian believed in Xiao Bing.

But Orochi did not show them any mercy. It writhed its way toward the crowd like a starving wolf. All the fierce beasts living in the woods fled in fear, and trees were being knocked down. Gigantic as it was, it was much faster than normal people. Even masters who had reached the Innate Realm could not be compared to him in terms of speed.

Two masters at Transforming-strength stage fell. But before they could get to their feet, Orochi opened its mouth and devoured one of them.

The other man screamed when he saw its bloody mouth approaching. But then he decided to fight back. He dashed toward it and delivered a punch. However, its gargantuan mouth sucked him in like a big magnet. Then Orochi closed its mouth, even as the man was still screaming.

“I had not expected that there would be so much food…”

Iza Kawatani came to look for Feng XIII, bringing with him half of the powerful masters in Country R, yet most of them had been devoured by Orochi, a monster that had only lived in the stories they heard.

“Well…” Orochi rolled its eyes and murmured, “Only one-fifth of my power is restored. I wonder what the number will be after I eat all of these stupid humans.”

Then as he opened its mouth, the several masters of Transforming-strength felt an irresistible suction from behind. One second later they were all in Orochi’s belly. Then the serpent continued its search for food.

The other two serpents were also searching for humans in the mountain. For some unknown reasons, they were looking for the masters who had gone astray, instead of the ones gathered around Iza Kawatani.

Eventually, all the masters who were alone in the mountain were killed. The rest were gathered around Iza Kawatani. The two heads of Orochi were in mid-air, one at the top and one at the mountainside. It gazed at them with evil and greedy eyes.

The masters around Iza Kawatani were in a panicky state, but they were still brave enough to stay on and fight, though this monster was beyond their wildest imagination. On one hand, the Martial God was here with them. On the other hand, over half of them had reached the Innate Realm and the rest were of Transforming Strength stage. Only 5 or 6 of them were below that level.
