222: Chapter 221 Fugui is hungry, so he goes to the all-you-can-eat buffet in the Immortal Beast Garden.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, only two days remained until the Immortal Emperor's summons.
During these two days, the ten-mile radius around Lin Feng's small courtyard became a forbidden zone.
No one dared to approach, because that unlucky fellow named Zhao Dezhu was still lying in the infirmary, unconscious; it was said that for the past few days, he had been getting food stuck in his teeth while drinking water, biting his tongue while eating, and falling into the pit while using the toilet—the streak of bad luck had never ceased.
This caused the reputation of a "jinx" to spread like wildfire, and everyone felt that the feng shui at Lin Feng's place was bad and extremely ominous.
Lin Feng was not idle either; he had been using the plundered resources to consolidate his Golden Immortal Realm, while simultaneously using critical hit points to madly upgrade the Immortal-Slaying Sword Technique, pushing this great killing art to a new height.
But at noon that day.
Lin Feng, who was meditating, was suddenly awakened by a strange sound.
"Smack smack... crunch crunch..."
It sounded like something was sneaking a snack; the sound was crisp, pleasant, and had a great rhythm.
Lin Feng opened his eyes and discovered that Huang Fugui, who had been lying beside him, was gone.
His heart stirred, and he walked out following the sound, arriving at the courtyard wall.
There was a large hole there that had been kicked open by Zhao Dezhu and later blasted open by Lin Feng, leading directly to the neighboring Immortal Beast Garden.
At this moment, a strange fragrance was drifting over from that hole.
It was not the scent of ordinary meat, but rather a top-tier fragrance of ten-thousand-year Immortal herbs mixed with some kind of high-grade spirit liquid; just one whiff caused one's blood and Qi to churn.
"This prodigal little thing, who is he wreaking havoc on again?"
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and crawled through the hole.
The scene before him made his eyelids twitch.
He saw that in a corner of the Immortal Beast Garden, inside a huge animal pen that was decorated in gold and jade, a hundred times more luxurious than the courtyard he lived in.
The animal pen was surrounded by Spirit-Gathering Formations, the ground was paved with warm jade, and even the pool for drinking water was carved from a single piece of spirit marrow.
In the center of the pen, a small snake, only as thick as an arm, colorful all over, and looking as cute as a carved jade figurine, was looking at Huang Fugui with an expression of worship.
This small snake was no simple creature; it had a single horn on its head and faint claw shadows beneath its belly—it was clearly a [Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python] possessing the ancient Dragon Bloodline!
Moreover, it was a mutated species, the most beloved young beast of the Immortal King Seven Luminaries, usually eating ten-thousand-year Vermilion Fruits and drinking nectar; its treatment was even better than that of an average Golden Immortal.
And at this moment.
Huang Fugui was sitting boldly in the small snake's food basin (which was made of top-grade Immortal jade), holding a ten-thousand-year Vermilion Fruit as big as a fist, emanating a rich red light, and gnawing on it until juice splattered everywhere.
Beside him, a pile of fruit pits and empty bottles already littered the ground.
"Big Brother! Big Brother, eat slowly! If it's not enough, I'll go ask the steward to get more!"
The seven-colored small snake spoke in human language, its voice childish, like a child of a few years old, its eyes filled with stars.
Just a moment ago, Huang Fugui had not only "helped" it eat the bitter Immortal medicine it hated most (which was actually a highly nourishing item) but also told it the story of the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace" (of course, it was the heavily modified version Lin Feng had told him).
Huang Fugui claimed to be the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven Marten," and he had fooled this naive, inexperienced little snake into recognizing him as Big Brother on the spot.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Little Seven, your meals are alright, just a bit bland."
Huang Fugui commented while eating, swallowed the last bite of the Vermilion Fruit, and patted his round belly. "Next time, remember to tell them to add more cumin, or maybe do some barbecue. Eating raw is too barbaric."
"Okay, Big Brother! I'll remember! What is cumin? Is it delicious?"
The small snake nodded repeatedly, like an obedient elementary school student.
Just then.
"Audacious beast!!! How dare you steal the Divine Beast feed of the Immortal Lord!!!"
A roar exploded like a thunderclap on flat ground!
A burly man wearing animal skins with a fierce face rushed over aggressively, leading a group of beast slaves holding beast-restraining ropes.
He was the steward of this Immortal Beast Garden, with a cultivation base at the Early Stage Golden Immortal, and usually made a lot of profit by skimming off the Immortal Beasts' rations.
When he saw the mess all over the ground, as well as the top-grade Immortal jade food basin being used as a cushion by Huang Fugui, his face turned green with anger!
That was the Heaven-Swallowing Python that the Immortal King Seven Luminaries had specifically ordered to be well taken care of! The value of that meal was worth a hundred years of his salary! If the small snake got thin from hunger, he wouldn't be able to pay for it even with his head!
"Where did this wild marten come from! Kill it for me!!!"
The steward roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He didn't dare touch Lin Feng, but slaughtering a beast was no problem!
He changed the hand seals, pulled out a black bone whistle, and blew it fiercely.
"Woo—!"
"Roar!!!"
In the depths of the beast garden, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a huge crack burst open.
An adult Heaven-Swallowing Python, a thousand feet long, with scales like cast black iron, and exuding the terrifying Aura of a Golden Immortal Great Perfection, roared and rushed out!
This was the mother of the small snake and the guardian Divine Beast of this garden, with a fearsome reputation; it had once swallowed three Golden Immortals in one bite!
"Hiss—!!!"
The adult Heaven-Swallowing Python saw its child mingling with a lowly weasel, and its rations being stolen, and its ferocity flared up instantly.
Its huge snake eyes, like red lanterns, locked onto Huang Fugui, and it opened its blood-red mouth, large enough to swallow a palace, and bit down towards Huang Fugui!
A foul wind hit, suffocating!
"Mommy! The parents are here! Calling parents after hitting a kid, that's not following the martial code! Master, save me!!!"
Huang Fugui was so scared that all his fur stood on end; he dropped the Vermilion Fruit, took to his heels, and turned into a streak of yellow light, diving straight into the hole connecting to Lin Feng's courtyard.
"Where are you running!!!"
The adult Heaven-Swallowing Python's eyes were bloodshot by now; its huge tail swept out with the force of ten thousand jun, and with a "boom," it directly smashed the wall along with the defensive Formation into smithereens!
Its massive body, like a high-speed steel train, charged into Lin Feng's small courtyard with an Aura that crushed everything in its path!
Dust flew, and rubble scattered into the clouds.
It looked like the blood-red mouth was about to swallow Huang Fugui along with half the courtyard.
"So noisy."
An indifferent voice sounded abruptly in the dust.
Subsequently, a fair, slender palm reached out lightly; it looked slow, yet it traversed space and pressed directly onto the head of the incomparably huge snake.
"Bang!!!"
The scene seemed to freeze at this moment.
That aggressive Heaven-Swallowing Python, at the Golden Immortal Great Perfection level and with strength sufficient to crush mountains and break ridges, felt its head collide with an immovable, ancient Divine Mountain.
Its momentum stopped abruptly, its entire body stiffened, and the massive inertia caused its tail to raise high.
Then...
Boom!
The huge snake head was forcefully pressed into the ground by that palm!
The earth collapsed, and a huge deep pit appeared! Spiderweb-like cracks spread in all directions.
Amidst the flying dust, Lin Feng pressed on the snake's head with one hand, his expression indifferent, while he picked his ear with the other.
Beneath his feet, the terrifying Heaven-Swallowing Python was struggling frantically, its tail thrashing about, but it couldn't move a single bit.
That hand was like the shackles of the Heavenly Dao!
Lin Feng looked up at the dumbstruck beast garden steward, who was paralyzed on the ground in fear, and the group of beast slaves who had been scared silly.
"The bug you raised is making too much noise and scared my brother."
Lin Feng's voice was calm, yet it exuded an unreasonable domineering air; every word struck the hearts of the crowd like a heavy hammer.
"Mental damages, loss of work, nutrition fees, and the repair costs for this courtyard."
"If you don't pay up, then today at noon..."
Lin Feng looked down at the struggling Heaven-Swallowing Python beneath his feet, licked his lips, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"We'll be having a full snake banquet."
"You... you..." The steward pointed at Lin Feng, his hands trembling, his teeth chattering, "This... this is the Immortal King Seven Luminaries'..."
"Slap!"
Lin Feng slapped the air, sending the steward flying; half of his face swelled up, and his teeth fell all over the ground.
"I don't care whose it is."
"Fugui, bring the bucket. Since they won't pay, we'll just take it ourselves."
"Alright! Coming right up!"
Huang Fugui, who had been hiding behind a rock, saw that his boss had controlled the scene and immediately became lively, trotting over and pulling out a huge wooden bucket, large enough to hold a person, from who knows where.
Lin Feng formed a sword with his fingers, sword light flickering at his fingertips, and made a light slash at the Heaven-Swallowing Python's seven-inch mark.
Chi!
Golden essence blood gushed out like a fountain, exuding astonishing energy fluctuations, and landed precisely into the wooden bucket.
"Here, drink this as a beverage."
Lin Feng said indifferently, as if he weren't drawing the blood of a Golden Immortal Great Perfection Yao Beast, but tap water.
"This bucket should be enough for you to evolve one more time, right?"
Looking at the full bucket of Golden Immortal Great Perfection Yao Beast essence blood, then looking at the man stepping on the giant snake with a "friendly" look, as well as the "robber marten" drooling on the side.
Everyone in the beast garden was left in a daze in the wind.
What the hell... where did this bandit come from?!
That's a Heaven-Swallowing Python! It's the Immortal King Seven Luminaries' precious treasure!
He even dares to draw its blood?!
This is going to pierce a hole in the sky!
