36: Black-scaled python

Their strength, which had been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, increased as their Lord's strength improved.

It was already late, but with the increase in strength, their physical condition was now incomparable.

Aside from resting to restore Spirit Energy, their priority was to quickly improve their strength, as strength was the guarantee for survival on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

Yang Qianhun looked at the five remaining treasure maps in his hand, planned his route, and led everyone towards the location of the first treasure map.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a desolate area.

In the darkness, countless eyes gleamed like jewels.

Howl...

With a deafening howl,

Bang, bang, bang...

Immediately following were countless footsteps, and two-meter-long Wild Black Wolves appeared before Yang Qianhun and his group.

[Identity: Fierce Beast]

[Name: Wild Black Wolf]

[Level: Five]

[Aptitude: Normal]

[Attribute: Normal]

[Status: Ferocious, Alert]

[Skills: Bite (Normal), Claw Rip (Advanced Grade)]

[Weakness: Low Defense]

At a glance, there were fifty of them, all baring their fangs and drooling as they stared at Yang Qianhun and his group.

Howl...

Another wolf howl echoed, and a black shadow quickly ran from behind the wolf pack.

It leaped up and landed steadily at the forefront of the wolf pack.

The Wild Black Wolf King was a full circle larger than the ordinary Wild Black Wolves, measuring three meters long, with even sharper claws.

It was Level Eight, with Advanced Grade aptitude, looking quite formidable in strength.

However, when the Wild Black Wolf King saw Yang Qianhun and his group, its originally fierce and bloodthirsty eyes gradually became somewhat fearful and panicked.

It seemed to realize that something was amiss and the situation was very wrong.

The Wild Black Wolf King felt a dangerous aura emanating from everyone on the other side, which made it feel a chill down its spine.

It had originally thought it was going to have a feast, but it seemed these were tough nuts to crack.

“These are treasures delivered to our doorstep; there’s no reason not to take them. Eliminate them.”

Yang Qianhun said indifferently.

Behind him, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, forty Death Warriors, twenty Shadow Guards, and fifty Strong Archers surged forward.

Their strategy was primarily to outnumber and overpower.

Before long, all fifty Wild Black Wolves were annihilated.

As Huang Zhong directly slew the Wild Black Wolf King with his great saber, the wolf pack was completely wiped out.

Not even a single hair on Yang Qianhun and his group was harmed.

Yang Qianhun immediately activated Telekinetic Pickup, and all the treasure light clusters were collected into his spatial package.

He obtained the following items: 100 pieces of iron ore, 400 portions of food, and 10 pieces of copper.

At this moment, Yang Qianhun and his group were only a hundred meters away from the treasure location.

A few minutes later, Yang Qianhun arrived at the treasure location, and the information from the treasure map appeared in his mind.

Yang Qianhun’s face instantly lit up with joy, and his heart pounded with excitement like a raging sea.

Without hesitation, he injected Spirit Energy into the treasure map.

The next second, the treasure map in his hand glowed red, slowly fading into countless red light points.

In the blink of an eye, the countless red light points slowly converged, forming a red spatial gate.

And within the spatial gate, a red card floated.

Yang Qianhun directly reached out and took the card.

The red spatial gate slowly faded until it disappeared.

“I didn’t expect to obtain this here.”

Yang Qianhun was overjoyed, looking at the card in his hand; he could feel the infinite, powerful, and overbearing strength contained within it.

It felt the same as the other card: the sealed one's right hand.

[Name: the sealed left hand]

[Type: Card]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Inject Spirit Energy to summon the sealed left hand to attack enemies. Cooldown: 24 hours]

[Description: the sealed left hand, upon unsealing, will grant powerful strength]

Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and others had personally witnessed Yang Qianhun use the sealed one's right hand to directly flatten an entire mountain stronghold with a single punch.

When they once again felt the powerful and overbearing strength within this new card, their faces were still filled with immense shock.

At this moment, the long-awaited Heavenly Dao announcement once again echoed in everyone’s minds.

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: Matsumoto Hidehito opened a treasure map and dug out a Level Eleven fierce beast: Black Scaled Python. Matsumoto Hidehito has been swallowed whole by the Black Scaled Python.]

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: The Black Scaled Python has now slaughtered over five hundred people. All Lords are requested to go and kill it, otherwise, Area 666 will be plunged into misery and suffering.]

[Heavenly Dao Announcement: Those who kill the Black Scaled Python will receive Heavenly Dao rewards. Its location can be viewed on the map. Please hurry and go kill it.]

“These people from Sakura Country are truly troublesome; they always cause problems. Let’s see how far away it is.”

After hearing the Heavenly Dao announcement in his mind, Yang Qianhun directly summoned his virtual panel and opened the map.

Indeed, there was a red dot on the map, currently moving rapidly, and it wasn’t far from him.

It was only a few kilometers away, and the direction of its movement was towards his current location.

Was this fate or coincidence?

However, this Level Eleven Black Scaled Python corresponded to the strength of a Lingzhe First Rank.

And on his side, only Gao Shun and Huang Zhong were Ling Zhe Tenth Order.

A miss is as good as a mile; don't underestimate the difference of one rank, as this is actually the gap between the Spiritual Knight and Spirit Practitioner Level.

If he could avoid it, he would, but the Heavenly Dao’s rewards were always quite generous, which was a considerable temptation.

Thinking of this, Yang Qianhun once again summoned the virtual panel from his mind and clicked on the [666 Chat Channel].

It was still bustling, indicating that the survivors had gradually adapted to this place.

“Brothers, remember to stay away from the Sakura Country people, be careful when they get struck by lightning, you might get implicated.”

“Yesterday, I personally saw a Sakura Country person open a treasure map and get mermaids. Yes, fish-headed, human-bodied monsters, a full hundred of them. They directly slaughtered him and his twenty Soldiers, and even ate them. It scared me so much I couldn’t sleep all night.”

“These people from Sakura Country have simply done too many bad things in their daily lives, and now they’re getting their retribution. They can even unearth Spirit Practitioner Level fierce beasts. It’s truly eye-opening, like a small knife cutting a butt.”

“The Heavenly Dao actually dares to ask us to kill the Black Scaled Python? Isn’t that telling us to go to our deaths? Spirit Practitioner Level monsters, at this stage, those who can reach Ling Shi Fifth Order are probably few and far between. Whoever goes is an idiot.”

“What the person above said makes sense. I just fled in disarray with my Soldiers. Just one glance from a distance scared the living daylights out of me. That Black Scaled Python is not human at all—no, it’s not human in the first place. It’s over thirty meters long, incredibly thick, and one sweep of its tail directly severely injured fifty Soldiers.”

“I saw it too. There were also some Beast Soldiers leading over a hundred tall and strong Beast Soldiers to besiege the Black Scaled Python. In less than half an hour, the dead were dead and the injured were injured. It was truly unbearable to watch. Now no one dares to go, everyone is running.”

“Your news is outdated. The Black Scaled Python is currently chasing prey. When it saw a Lord and dozens of Soldiers in a territory, that Lord knew that if the monk ran, the temple couldn’t, so he could only bite the bullet and fight. The result was no surprise; except for the Lord, everyone else was wiped out. The Lord then fled, and the Black Scaled Python, in a fit of rage, smashed the wooden house in the territory, and that Lord was also obliterated by the Heavenly Dao.”

“Ah, now everyone can only pray that the Black Scaled Python doesn’t run into our territory, otherwise, we’ll truly be waiting to die. This Sakura Country person is really a menace.”

...

Yang Qianhun exited the chat channel, having gained some understanding of the Black Scaled Python.

It was a pity it wasn't related to a dragon at the moment, otherwise, he would have let it experience the power of the dragon's bane.

“Forget it, let’s dig for treasure first.”

After pondering for a moment, Yang Qianhun made his decision.
