Chapter 33

Remember 【↘→】 for your exciting novel reading. "Whoosh"

A figure, enveloped in a faint golden primordial energy, was frantically fleeing through the ancient forest, with a massive, fifteen-zhang-long, dark red-scaled python fiercely pursuing it from about ten zhang behind!

Ye Wuxie had simply chosen a direction opposite to Sima Ao and Lin Yingluo and fled at top speed. Ancient trees rapidly disappeared from his sides, and the three Fire Spirit Jade Fruits in his hand had not even been stored in his storage ring. He was desperately fleeing, feeling immense pressure from the Swallowing Flame Poison Python behind him!

"This beast is so fast!"

Feeling the explosive sounds from behind, Ye Wuxie's gaze sharpened, realizing that the Swallowing Flame Poison Python was also giving its all to chase him. The intense aura made it clear to Ye Wuxie that the python would not let him go!

"Crack" "Boom"

The sounds of trees breaking and collapsing continued, and Ye Wuxie knew that with the python's hard body and massive length, it could almost move unimpeded through the ancient forest!

At this moment, the ancient forest was slightly illuminated, and time was gradually passing, with the dawn of the second day approaching!

"Whoosh"

"If this continues, I will eventually be caught by this beast! I need to find a way to shake it off!"

The Swallowing Flame Poison Python was getting faster, and the distance between it and Ye Wuxie had been reduced to over ten zhang. If Ye Wuxie continued to flee like this, it wouldn't be long before he was caught by the python. This was clear to Ye Wuxie!

Borrowing the light filtering down from above, Ye Wuxie noticed that the trees around him were smaller than those in the deeper parts of the ancient forest. The dark, damp feeling had disappeared, and a fresh, earthy air filled the air.

Feeling these new discoveries, Ye Wuxie's eyes flickered: "It seems I am about to break out of this ancient forest."

"Whoosh"

Ye Wuxie's speed reached its peak, with the faint golden Holy Dao Battle Qi providing him with an endless supply of energy!

"Rustle"

The Swallowing Flame Poison Python's dark golden eyes stared at the human fleeing frantically ahead. The aura of malice spread, and it saw the three Fire Spirit Jade Fruits in the human's hand. These were treasures it had guarded for nearly a decade, now stolen by a human. The Swallowing Flame Poison Python was already enraged to the extreme, and its fifteen-zhang-long body seemed to crush everything in its path!

"Whoosh"

As Ye Wuxie frantically fled, he suddenly took a step, and the surroundings brightened. Fresh air rushed towards him, and the ancient trees that had blocked the sky disappeared, replaced by a flat, barren plain. Only about a hundred zhang ahead, a strangely shaped peak stood.

This scene did not bring Ye Wuxie any joy; instead, his heart sank!

"In the ancient forest, the trees and flowers could give that beast some trouble, but now on this flat plain, without any obstacles, I can't possibly outrun it!"

Ye Wuxie understood that snake-type beasts were much faster on flat ground than cultivators. This fifteen-zhang-long Swallowing Flame Poison Python, if it sprinted on the plain, could catch up to Ye Wuxie in just a dozen breaths!

"Whoosh" "Rustle"

A terrifying figure burst out of the ancient forest, causing countless clumps of earth to fly, and a continuous hissing sound. The fifteen-zhang-long body was fully exposed, its tongue flicking, and its dark golden eyes reflecting Ye Wuxie's figure. The Swallowing Flame Poison Python darted forward at an even faster speed, at least three times faster than in the forest!

"Whoosh" "Buzz"

Ye Wuxie, sprinting on the plain, could already feel the hissing sound from behind getting closer. Without turning back, he knew that in a dozen breaths, the Swallowing Flame Poison Python would catch up to him. On this plain, he would be isolated and without cover, and the best outcome would be to be killed in anger, while the worst would be to be devoured alive.

Human flesh, especially that of cultivators, has always been the favorite of beasts.

"Whoosh"

Although the situation was dire, Ye Wuxie would not give up until the last moment. Over the past decade, his personality had become determined and even a bit obsessive. Surrendering was not his style!

"Want to swallow me? At least I'll knock out a few of your teeth!"

His eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he decided to fight to the death!

"Buzz"

The Holy Dao Battle Qi flowed to its limit, and the pale silver moon behind him trembled. His golden-red qi and blood surged, and Ye Wuxie gathered his last strength, preparing for a life-or-death battle with the Swallowing Flame Poison Python!

"It's not time to fight to the death yet. Go to that peak. I feel something special there; it might save your life. 【↖Book's Reading♀Room√

Seemingly sensing Ye Wuxie's determination, Kong's voice echoed in his mind, making Ye Wuxie's body tremble, and his eyes fell on the large peak a few dozen zhang away!

"Buzz"

Kong's words made Ye Wuxie's resolve to fight to the death waver, and the desire to survive surged again. After all, if he could escape, no one would want to die foolishly.

"Whoosh"

Stimulated by Kong's words, Ye Wuxie, enveloped in a faint golden light, reached his ultimate speed!

"Rustle"

At this moment, the Swallowing Flame Poison Python was only five to six zhang behind Ye Wuxie!

"Boom"

His eyes flickered, and Ye Wuxie, who had been running straight, suddenly zigzagged, forming a "Z" shape.

This action slowed him down, but strangely, the Swallowing Flame Poison Python also changed its posture to match Ye Wuxie's, and its speed slowed even more, becoming slower than Ye Wuxie!

Strike the snake at its vital point, and run in a "Z" shape to escape!

This is a human summary of the weakness of snakes. Although the Swallowing Flame Poison Python is a beast, it still cannot escape this nature. Its body is long and flexible, and it moves quickly in a straight line, but if it zigzags, its body will tangle and slow down, allowing humans to escape.

Ye Wuxie used this tactic, and indeed, the Swallowing Flame Poison Python's speed slowed down, giving him a precious moment!

However, the Swallowing Flame Poison Python, being a mid-rank third-stage beast, had a bit of intelligence. Although Ye Wuxie's tactic confused it for a moment, it soon recovered. The python hissed, and its speed increased again, quickly reducing the distance to five to six zhang!

But Ye Wuxie's goal was achieved because he had already reached the foot of the peak and was charging towards the summit without stopping!

"Rustle"

The Swallowing Flame Poison Python suddenly stopped at the foot of the mountain, looking at the peak. A hint of fear flashed in its dark golden eyes, and its fifteen-zhang-long body coiled, as if it was wary of something. However, when it saw Ye Wuxie's back and the three Fire Spirit Jade Fruits in his hand, the python hissed, seemingly suppressing its fear, and resumed its pursuit!

Ye Wuxie, frantically climbing upwards, did not notice the change in the Swallowing Flame Poison Python. The mountain, though steep, was not too difficult to climb, leading directly to the summit. Ye Wuxie had no choice but to charge towards the summit!

"Rustle"

The Swallowing Flame Poison Python's massive body charged up the mountain, but it seemed more cautious, as if there was something on the summit that it feared!

"Whoosh"

Ye Wuxie reached the summit, and before he could see what was ahead, he felt a bone-chilling cold, as if he had come face to face with a thousand-year-old ice mountain.

"This is..."

"It's a cold pond, but this pond is quite strange..."

Ye Wuxie and Kong's questions and answers echoed, and then Ye Wuxie saw that the summit was a lake about thirty zhang in diameter. The water was very clear, but only three to five feet deep, allowing the bottom to be easily seen, yet it emitted a piercing cold. In the center of the pond, a withered and strange tree grew, about ten zhang tall, with a medium-sized hole in the middle, just large enough for one or two people.

"Wuxie, go into that tree hole. I feel something strange there."

"Rustle"

The Swallowing Flame Poison Python's presence grew closer, and Ye Wuxie looked around. He picked up a one-zhang-wide strange rock and threw it into the pond. The rock did not sink completely, leaving part of it above the surface.

Ye Wuxie exerted his strength, and his body shot forward, aiming for the strange tree in the center of the pond. As he ran out of strength in mid-air, he used the rock he had thrown to gain a foothold and then leaped high, landing in the tree hole. Before he could fully stabilize, the fifteen-zhang-long body of the Swallowing Flame Poison Python arrived!

"Whoosh"

Ye Wuxie looked at the Swallowing Flame Poison Python outside the pond, feeling somewhat uneasy. If the python attacked again, he would have to fight with all his might!

"Rustle"

The Swallowing Flame Poison Python instantly saw Ye Wuxie hiding in the strange tree in the center of the pond. Its dark golden eyes flared with anger, and just as it was about to attack, it suddenly seemed to sense something. Its dark golden eyes looked at the pond, and a hint
