Golden-Horned Flood Python: Escape from the Serpent's Jaws

After Qin Hao and the others finished dealing with the demonic beasts' Monster Cores, pelts, and scales, they continued deeper into the forest.

They had barely taken a few steps when Liu Nengwu immediately raised his right hand high.

"Stop, something's wrong! Be careful!"

With that, Liu Nengwu rushed toward Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian.

Liu Qianqian was closer to Liu Nengwu, while Qin Hao was at the very back, so Liu Nengwu only had time to save Liu Qianqian. Qin Hao was swallowed by a giant snake.

Zhang Qi was also rescued by his elderly companion.

"No, Brother Hao!"

Liu Qianqian had watched with her own eyes as the giant snake swallowed Qin Hao whole.

After landing, the group dodged to the side again.

Countless metal spikes instantly erupted from the spot where they had landed, each one a full three meters long.

"This is bad. That's a beast king tenth tier demonic beast. I'm afraid we're no match for it."

The old man, holding Zhang Qi, spoke to Liu Nengwu.

Liu Nengwu frowned deeply. He and the old man were about the same, both at the martial king third tier.

If Liu Qianqian and Zhang Qi weren't there, they could just about fight it to a standstill.

But with the two juniors there, they could only flee for now.

"Let's go!"

With that, he fled with Liu Qianqian and Zhang Qi.

On the way!

"Dad, why didn't you save Qin Hao? Why?"

Liu Qianqian cried.

Liu Nengwu also sighed helplessly and said, "Child, it wasn't that I wouldn't save him, but it really was an emergency. There just wasn't time. I almost couldn't even save you."

Liu Qianqian was in great pain and blamed herself bitterly. She thought that if she hadn't asked Qin Hao to come, he wouldn't have died!

Just when everyone thought Qin Hao had been swallowed by the giant snake and was sure to die,

Qin Hao was still struggling desperately inside its belly.

He used Time Slow, along with the Iron Cage skill.

Only then did Qin Hao avoid being bitten to death by the giant snake's teeth, and was instead sucked into its belly.

However, Qin Hao hadn't entered its stomach. Otherwise, he really would have been doomed.

With a giant snake this big, once he reached its stomach, he would definitely be broken down by the stomach acid.

"Fuck, good thing I have a space. I can quickly take out a dagger."

At that moment, Qin Hao was stuck in the giant snake's throat and hadn't been swallowed into its belly.

That was also why the giant snake hadn't immediately chased after Liu Nengwu and the other three.

Qin Hao unleashed Lightning Fist, striking the giant snake's esophagus.

"Roar!"

The giant snake raised its head and roared in pain.

Qin Hao realized that this demonic beast was huge, ridiculously huge.

No, I have to find a way out, or I'll suffocate.

With that thought, Qin Hao used his metal-type ability to form a metal dagger in his hand and stabbed it into the giant snake's esophagus. Then he pulled out the F-rank dagger and quickly stabbed it into the esophagus above him.

Because it was an ability that came with his superpower, it didn't need a cooldown like a skill.

So Qin Hao expended a great deal of spiritual power and climbed into the giant snake's mouth.

A revolting stench of decay hit his nose, and Qin Hao immediately began to retch.

Just then, Qin Hao drove the F-rank dagger into the inner wall.

The giant snake rolled on the ground in pain again, then raised its head and roared.

Qin Hao seized the opportunity to immediately cast Time Slow on the giant snake and Time Acceleration on himself.

Just like that, Qin Hao jumped out.

When he turned to look at the demonic beast that had nearly swallowed him, he was instantly startled.

It was a giant snake, roughly as enormous as a train.

Not only that, the snake had a single horn clearly visible on its head, and fins grew along its spine, just like dragon fins.

Fuck, isn't this a flood dragon?!

With no time to think, Qin Hao quickly hid in the shadows.

Just as he concealed himself, the giant snake's bloody maw snapped shut again where he had been.

But it bit nothing but air, because Qin Hao was hiding in the shadows.

Qin Hao took a careful look and finally recognized the giant snake's true form.

It was the demonic beast he had learned about in his textbooks, the Golden-Horned Giant Python.

But judging by this Golden-Horned Giant Python, it should now be called a Golden-Horned Flood Python, because it had already transformed into a flood dragon.

After spiritual energy revived, China's ancient myths of all kinds were confirmed to be historical fact.

So creatures like dragons were also said to exist in legend.

According to archaeological discoveries, archaeologists from the Warrior Research Center had found a complete Divine Dragon skeleton in another world.

At that moment, Qin Hao immediately remembered attending an auction at the Many Treasures Pavilion, where a piece of armor had appeared.

That piece of armor was pink and shaped like a bellyband, and the material on it consisted of scales.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was very likely made from the scales of a Golden-Horned Flood Python.

The scales of the Golden-Horned Flood Python before him were extremely hard and gleaming.

Qin Hao looked around and discovered that he was in a huge cave.

Inside the cave were three enormous snake eggs and an inky-black spear.

I've struck it rich! Isn't that the divine weapon I've dreamed of, a spear?

Qin Hao happily approached the inky-black spear and saw the words "Overlord Spear" written on it in small seal script.

Overlord Spear, what a domineering name.

As he thought this, Qin Hao secretly glanced at the Golden-Horned Flood Python and saw that the flood python was still carefully searching the cave for traces of him.

Phew, good thing my dark-type superpower is a legendary talent. Otherwise, with the Golden-Horned Flood Python's strength, it would definitely be able to find me.

With that thought, Qin Hao stayed where he was, not daring to move again.

After all, if he moved, he would definitely give off energy fluctuations.

Keeping himself hidden, Qin Hao continued observing the entire cave.

Qin Hao discovered that behind the snake eggs was a small pool of liquid. Needless to say, it was probably Spirit Liquid.

Sure enough, real Spirit Liquid was extremely scarce.

The pool of Spirit Liquid was only about the size of a mineral water bottle. Judging by its depth, it wasn't very deep either, probably not even half a bottle.

Even so, Qin Hao was thrilled.

He should have counted himself unlucky this time, having been swallowed by the giant snake as soon as he arrived.

But after all those twists and turns, he had turned out to be lucky, finding so many good things.

Once the Golden-Horned Flood Python left the cave to hunt, he would take the Overlord Spear, the three snake eggs, and that small pool of Spirit Liquid.

After spending three hours in the cave, the Golden-Horned Flood Python finally went out to hunt.

As soon as the giant snake left, Qin Hao hurriedly emerged, put the inky-black Overlord Spear into his space, then took out a bottle of mineral water.

After drinking all the water in one go, Qin Hao collected all the Spirit Liquid.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, it wasn't even half a bottle.

Qin Hao looked at the milky-white Spirit Liquid in the bottle and thought this.

He put it away, then went over to the three snake eggs.

"If these demonic beast eggs were auctioned off, they'd probably fetch quite a bit, right?"

With that thought, Qin Hao put the three snake eggs into his space.

After doing all that, Qin Hao hurriedly concealed himself in the shadows and left the snake's cave.
