Chu Tian watched the rapidly moving mountains below.
It was the body of a giant python.
He had no idea how long this creature was, and Chu Tian had reason to suspect it might have coiled around the entire forbidden zone.
As Xiao Hei carried Chu Tian to the mountainside, it was still ascending.
Suddenly, Chu Tian forcefully patted its horns.
"Stop flying up. If we go any higher, we'll both die here!"
Xiao Hei jolted and stopped abruptly.
It knew why Chu Tian was stopping it.
It also remembered that if it ascended any further, they would reach the restrictive layer.
If they were caught by that restriction and fell while this giant snake was writhing, wouldn't they be crushed to death by it?
"What should we do, boss?" Xiao Hei asked anxiously.
"Fly horizontally over there!"
Chu Tian pointed in a direction.
It was said that the movement was counter-clockwise.
The direction Chu Tian pointed was exactly to the left.
He wanted Xiao Hei to fly clockwise.
"Huh?" Xiao Hei didn't move and continued,
"If we go that way, we'll hit the snake's head!"
Xiao Hei appeared quite fearful.
"There's definitely a snake's tail in front of the snake's head, and the snake's tail must be thinner. We'll pass through directly at the lower points!"
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and urged Xiao Hei to hurry.
"But..." Xiao Hei didn't move.
"No buts, hurry!" Chu Tian urged again.
Despite Chu Tian's urging, Xiao Hei still didn't move.
"What if this snake is long and its tongue is in front of its tail?"
Hearing this, Chu Tian's face showed three black lines.
"Stop being such a jinx! You said what if we die, but what if the snake is short and there's a gap between its tail and head?"
After Chu Tian finished speaking, Xiao Hei hesitated.
It flew to the left for a second and then stopped again.
"What now?" Chu Tian was speechless. He really wanted to know why Xiao Hei was so afraid of snakes.
"Uh... how about we try to split this snake in two?"
Chu Tian rolled his eyes. The height of this giant snake's body was at least two kilometers, not counting the half of its body underground. Conservatively, its diameter was 4000 meters! This guy, Xiao Hei, actually fantasized about splitting a 4000-meter gap in one move.
"Xiao Hei, why are you so afraid of snakes?" Chu Tian didn't want to ask at this moment because time was tight. Since the guy wouldn't move no matter how much he urged, he decided to voice his question.
"It's... it's that old bastard! When I was little, he always used illusion techniques to scare me with snakes! Every night when I went to sleep, that old guy would invade my dreams and throw me into a snake den!"
As Xiao Hei said this, Chu Tian, standing on its head, could clearly feel it tremble. Chu Tian felt like laughing. So it was a childhood trauma.
"It's not a snake!"
Just as Chu Tian and Xiao Hei were in a stalemate, a voice suddenly appeared in Chu Tian's mind. First, Chu Tian was stunned, then he recognized it as the Devouring Dragon, which hadn't appeared for a long time.
"If it's not a snake, what is it?" Chu Tian quickly asked.
"It's a dragon, a dragon that hasn't fully evolved!" the Devouring Dragon replied to Chu Tian.
"A dragon that hasn't fully evolved, isn't that still a snake?" Chu Tian thought about its words and a question arose.
"Who told you only snakes can evolve into dragons?"
"Isn't that true?"
"Forget it, I won't explain it to you. Let me out. This guy has a trace of my bloodline. I'll deal with it!" The Devouring Dragon didn't want to waste time with Chu Tian and asked to be released. Chu Tian, upon hearing this, felt a stir in his heart. This creature actually had a trace of the Devouring Dragon's bloodline, so it was definitely extraordinary. Chu Tian reached out and touched his dantian. A streak of black light appeared, and a small catfish emerged.
"Hmm... there's actually a law of time here." As soon as it came out, it muttered softly. Then it spoke to Chu Tian.
"You guys move further away!"
The moment Chu Tian saw the Devouring Dragon appear, the mountain-like monster's body suddenly trembled. Then its swimming speed rapidly increased, several times faster than before. All these changes were clearly caused by the appearance of the Devouring Dragon.
"Hey, little mudfish, can you do it? Don't let yourself be swallowed in one bite!" Xiao Hei slowly retreated, making a sarcastic remark.
"You're the little mudfish, and your whole family are mudfish!"
"Heh heh!" Xiao Hei wasn't angry about being insulted, just chuckled and quickly rushed away. It flew back to the edge of the cliff abyss before stopping.
"Roar..." Just as they reached here, they heard a sky-shattering roar. To their right, a massive black shadow rapidly approached. When the black shadow came closer and entered their vision, they saw it clearly. This creature actually looked seven or eight parts similar to the Devouring Dragon. A flat mouth, with seven or eight whiskers, and a flat forehead. It was exactly a catfish. Chu Tian clearly felt Xiao Hei beneath him exhale. Seeing it was a catfish, its fear disappeared.
"Damn it, it's just a catfish spirit. I knew it, I would have fought it directly!" Chu Tian had no time to bother with it, not even bothering to roll his eyes. This guy was a Monday-morning quarterback; he had been terrified earlier. The Devouring Dragon, with its small body, floated there. The giant catfish slowly reduced its speed as it approached. Then they stared at each other. After a full 10 minutes, the massive body suddenly lowered its upright head.
"Devour Heaven and Earth!" Just as Chu Tian and Xiao Hei were wondering what these two guys were doing, the Devouring Dragon's body suddenly turned into a black dot. The black dot rapidly enlarged, forming a massive purple vortex.
"Holy cow... is it going to fight?" Xiao Hei slowly moved forward. Chu Tian also waved his Moon God's Wrath, ready to fight. However, just as the purple vortex enlarged to the point where it spanned the heavens, the giant catfish monster suddenly raised its head and charged into the vortex. When it came into contact with the vortex, it was directly sucked in. Its massive body kept swimming. After a long time, Chu Tian and Xiao Hei watched dumbfounded. Finally, the catfish's tail was also drawn in. The purple vortex slowly shrunk, and the Devouring Dragon reappeared.
"That's it?" Xiao Hei looked up and asked Chu Tian.
"Probably!" Chu Tian wasn't sure.
"Let's go!" The Devouring Dragon swished its tail and came before Chu Tian and Xiao Hei.
"You... you ate your own kind?" Xiao Hei asked.
"I didn't eat it... How could I eat my own kind? I'm taking it away from here. It was imprisoned here, and its range of activity is only this loop. Actually, you could have just climbed over it before!" After the Devouring Dragon finished speaking, it rammed into Chu Tian's abdomen and disappeared. Chu Tian said nothing more. He could tell that the Devouring Dragon seemed to be in a bad mood.
