Chapter 1680: Be Careful, Scatter!
The python instantly became furious and launched a ferocious attack at Qian Jiyun.
Man and serpent quickly engaged in battle, accompanied by the sound of ice breaking as the snake’s tail swept across, ‘whooshing’ as it fell.
Meanwhile, An Jiuyue paid no attention to the fight between man and snake, focusing intently on digging out the Cold Soul Flower Cores, which could not be transplanted directly into her space and had to be manually excavated.
The entire Jade Cloud Mountain was frozen solid, making the ground incredibly hard, but this was not a problem for An Jiuyue, who possessed cultivation level.
Soon, she had dug up a Cold Soul Flower Core and placed it inside the medicine basket she took out from her space. Then she proceeded to the second and the third, intending to dig up several more.
The Cold Soul Flower Core, unlike the Sky Phoenix Grass, is not without its effects; it has an extremely high medicinal value. If used correctly, it could greatly enhance the efficiency of refining high-grade pills in the future.
As she was digging up the sixth flower core, she heard a ‘boom boom’ explosion nearby.
She looked up to see the giant python, which was thicker than her own swollen waist, rolled up into a big bundle, tumbling toward the distance.
The ice surface cracked ‘crack crack’ from the impact, giving off the impression that it was about to split entirely.
“Qian Jiyun, take it easy,” she called out quickly, giving a reminder.
They didn’t want to shatter the ice layer completely, making it difficult to go down. Surely they couldn’t just jump down, could they?
Qian Jiyun turned his head to look at her, then chased after the massive python. However, it was too late; the python had already been rolled to the edge of the mountain peak and fell off.
Below Jade Cloud Mountain, the two clashing groups saw a giant meatball plummeting towards them, which almost gave them heart attacks.
Zhan Beiye was the first to react. As the snake’s tail swept towards them, he grabbed two guards beside him and quickly retreated.
‘Bang!’
Before the three of them could steady themselves, they saw the place they had just been standing smashed into a long crack, the ground caved in, and dust flew up everywhere.
“Be careful, scatter!”
Su Tang shouted a warning to everyone and then ordered the guards to move their king’s bed to an even farther location.
At this moment, the python was seething with rage, gradually unraveling its coiled up body and hissing ‘ssss’ at both groups. Naturally, it didn’t discriminate and began attacking anyone it saw.
With its gaping maw, it swallowed two or three people in a single bite.
Looking down from Jade Cloud Mountain, Qian Jiyun saw this scene and felt pity for Zhan Beiye and his people. He hadn’t expected that a kick from him would send the python tumbling down.
Well then, consider it a trial. He decided to help An Jiuyue and gather more Cold Soul Flower Cores first.
“An Jiuyue, let me help you.”
…
Below, all the people were thrown into chaos.
Brother Zheng and his group were dodging and hiding, having never seen such a huge snake before.
“Ah, ahhh!”
Gu Qingyu was frightened out of her wits, screaming incessantly, not realizing that her shrieks would draw the python’s attention, making them the prime target.
“Be careful!”
As the python’s tail came sweeping toward them, Brother Zheng pulled Gu Qingyu behind himself, and he was struck in the chest by the python, flinging both Gu Qingyu and himself far away.
