Chapter 10: Azure Flood Dragon Python
After finishing his cultivation, Shi Jian checked the chat group.
The chat group was relatively quiet at this time. Because he had uploaded the futures of most people, the few people in the group were all very busy now!
They saw their own futures, so they were all busy making changes, especially targeting the bad parts of their future.
They were all planning ahead to make changes, preventing future troubles. Therefore, no one was talking in the group.
Shi Jian took a glance, then closed the chat group; he also had many things to do now!
After making some preparations, he headed into the Great Wilderness.
The Suan Ni was his ultimate goal, but his current strength made it difficult to deal with the Suan Ni.
Shi Jian decided to start by practicing with some weaker Ancient Remnants.
At noon, the scorching sun hung high. The sound of cicadas chirped as Shi Jian entered the Great Wilderness.
People from Stone Village usually hunted around the village in most cases. They would not go beyond the protection range of the Sacrificial Spirit.
The place Shi Jian was now was already far beyond the hunting range of the village's hunting team! This was already considered the deep part of the Great Wilderness, where various massive beasts were visible everywhere.
Although these giant beasts were not Primordial Remnants, they were enormous in size and possessed immense strength!
The village's hunting team, when facing such giant beasts, would need dozens of people to set traps and be extremely careful to capture them.
However, for Shi Jian, these giant beasts could be extinguished with a flick of his finger! He was even too lazy to attack these giant beasts.
His true target was those Primordial Remnants. These ordinary giant beasts were useless to him.
In the dense forest, there were only towering trees. Any random tree would be dozens of zhang tall, soaring into the sky.
The ground was covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, and various decaying, threatening odors permeated the air.
Shi Jian moved through the trees like a nimble ape. With light taps of his toes, he would flash past dozens of trees.
"If only I could cultivate the Wings of the Demon, I could soar through the air…"
Although the speed of moving through the trees was also very fast, Shi Jian was not satisfied!
Only by condensing the Wings of the Demon and flying freely in the air would it be truly carefree and unrestrained! That would be much more impressive than just darting around.
Moreover, the Wings of the Demon were extremely flexible.
However, to use these Wings of the Demon, Shi Jian needed to cultivate the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength to a certain degree. At the very least, he needed to Awaken five or more particles within his body.
Shi Jian had only Awakened one particle so far. There was still a long way to go before reaching five particles.
While deep in thought, Shi Jian's mind wandered a bit; as he ran out of Qi and stopped on a large tree, a sudden foul wind came from beside him.
Shi Jian turned his head sharply and saw an incredibly thick giant python!
This giant python opened its gaping maw and bit towards him. The giant python's mouth reeked, and blue light flickered on its teeth, clearly indicating it carried potent venom!
A triangular eye stared intently at Shi Jian, and there was even a bulge on its head! This giant python clearly showed signs of transforming into a Flood Dragon.
"Azure Flood Dragon Python…" Shi Jian's eyes lit up.
This giant python that ambushed him was indeed a type of Primordial Remnant: the Azure Flood Dragon Python!
Ordinary pythons transforming into Flood Dragons had to go through various hardships.
But this Azure Flood Dragon Python was different; it didn't need to go through too many hardships to transform into a Flood Dragon! As it aged, twin horns would automatically grow on its forehead, and then it would transform into a Flood Dragon!
The Azure Flood Dragon Python in front of him had not yet transformed into a Flood Dragon, but it already had a trace of a Flood Dragon's aura. Its precious blood effect was far superior to other Primordial Remnants.
Shi Jian's figure flickered, and he leaped, instantly jumping onto another large tree, avoiding the Azure Flood Dragon Python's bite.
This Azure Flood Dragon Python had already developed a hint of cunning intelligence; seeing that its ambush failed, it opened its large mouth again.
A stream of green Qi formed in its mouth. Subsequently, this Qi stream gathered into a Qi ball the size of a human head, coming towards Shi Jian like an arrow shot from a bow!
"Azure Flood Dragon Treasure Art…" Shi Jian's eyes lit up.
This Qi ball was rich in potent venom; ordinary people would die instantly upon contact. It also had a special corrosive effect on metal.
This was precisely the Treasure Art mastered by the Azure Flood Dragon Python.
In the Great Wilderness, there was once a tribe of over a hundred thousand people who had hunted down an Azure Flood Dragon Python that had completely transformed into a Flood Dragon.
After that Azure Flood Dragon Python died, this Treasure Art was recorded in its bone script!
The people of that tribe used this Treasure Art against their enemies, and others dared not contend with them! If a person touched the Azure Flood Dragon Treasure Art, they would die from the poison.
Magic Treasures and weapons would also be corroded and destroyed upon contact. Although this thing was not a top-tier Treasure Art, it was very useful!
If the one in front of him also had bone script, that would be even better. Shi Jian might not need it, but he could leave it for the people of Stone Village to use.
This kind of effective, low-threshold, and not-too-precious Treasure Art was exactly suitable for the people of Stone Village.
Facing this Azure Flood Dragon Treasure Art, Shi Jian clenched his five fingers, and the Nether God's Spear appeared in his hand!
The next moment, the long spear swept out, easily shattering the Azure Flood Dragon Treasure Art.
The purple light of the Azure Flood Dragon Treasure Art spread around, and any trees or vegetation it touched instantly corroded into ash. This showed how potent the poison of this Treasure Art was.
If it were a weapon made of metal, it would likely be corroded upon encountering this Azure Flood Dragon Treasure Art.
However, although the Nether God's Spear was a physical entity, it was condensed from energy. Therefore, the corrosive effect of the Azure Flood Dragon Treasure Art was ineffective against it.
The long spear was completely unharmed.
The Azure Flood Dragon Python was clearly startled; its intelligence was not low, already equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old child.
And having lived in this Great Wilderness for a long time, its instinct for seeking advantage and avoiding harm was very strong.
With just this one exchange, it saw that the opponent's strength far exceeded its own. So, it coiled its body and immediately fled down the tree.
But how enormous was its body? Its large size made it invincible in this Great Wilderness, rarely encountering an opponent.
As long as it didn't encounter those Primordial Remnants that were much fiercer than it, the Azure Flood Dragon Python was the undisputed overlord of the area it inhabited.
But now, its massive body had become a disadvantage. How could such a large body immediately escape just because it wanted to?
Just as it was fleeing, a long spear instantly pierced through its body, pinning it to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the Azure Flood Dragon Python lost its breath.
Logically speaking, such a massive creature, even if impaled, should not die!
After all, Shi Jian's long spear was merely like a thorn piercing its body to this giant python. Moreover, the injured part was not a vital area.
With the giant python's terrifying vitality, it should still be able to put up a desperate struggle!
But the power of the Nether God's Spear lay precisely in this.
The Nether God's Spear represented the supreme will of Hell; with the Qi of Hell entering its body, the struck creature would suffer endless tortures of Hell!
The Azure Flood Dragon Python's wound was not large, but its Soul had already been shattered by the will of Hell carried by the Nether God's Spear.
With its Soul killed, no matter how vigorous its vitality, it was useless!
"It's quite useful…" With a wave of his hand, Shi Jian recalled the Nether God's Spear to his hand and couldn't help but exclaim.
The Nether God's Spear's direct attack on the Soul was very useful to him. He was originally going to hunt Primordial Remnants.
During hunting, bumps and scrapes were inevitable. If he accidentally blew up the opponent, and the prey was not intact, then he would suffer a great loss!
Now with the Nether God's Spear, directly targeting the Soul, he wouldn't have to worry about blowing up his hunting targets!
Shi Jian leaped down and stepped onto the Azure Flood Dragon Python's snake head.
He looked at the massive creature in front of him and began to ponder. Should he just drag this huge fellow back?
The problem was, he had just come out. Was it a bit too soon to go back so quickly?
Moreover, he hadn't had enough fun yet; hunting Primordial Remnants was, first, to use their precious blood for the baptism of the Little Stone and the others in the village.
Second, it was to hone his own combat skills. Although this Azure Flood Dragon Python was a Primordial Remnant, its strength was more than just a little weaker than his!
Killing it had no difficulty at all. It served no purpose for honing his skills.
Shi Jian was eager to find some more powerful Primordial Remnants to practice with, but the Azure Flood Dragon Python's corpse was not good to leave here.
There were so many giant beasts around… By the time he came back, it would probably only be a skeleton left.
Shi Jian felt it was a pity to just abandon the corpse.
"I need a storage space…" Shi Jian turned his gaze to the chat group.
