Qin Hao quickly greeted her using the snake language he had just learned from the Fire-Scale Flame Python.
"Hello, senior!"
Qin Hao had tested it; this Golden-Horned Flood Python was Beast King Tenth Tier, about the same size as the one that had swallowed him before.
This Golden-Horned Flood Python was no ordinary creature. Looking at Qin Hao with a surprised, almost human-like expression, it said, "Hee hee! (You, you, you're a newly born Ba Snake?)"
To be honest, Qin Hao was quite surprised when the Golden-Horned Flood Python uttered the name "Ba Snake".
"Sisi! (That's right, how did you know I'm Ba Snake?)"
"Sisi! (Of course I know. Our Golden-Horned Flood Python Clan is different from ordinary Snake Clans. We possess the Divine Dragon Bloodline and have the opportunity to transform into Divine Dragon in the future. In terms of bloodline, only your Snake Clan's Ba Snake and other demonic beasts have a bloodline similar to ours!)"
Hearing this, Qin Hao asked many questions to find out more.
Not all snake-like demonic beasts can transform into a dragon and then become Divine Dragon. Those snakes that can transform into dragons or even Divine Dragon dragons possess the bloodline of Divine Dragon.
The Divine Dragon is a divine beast, higher in rank than the Ba Snake.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao was filled with regret. He should have written a technique to Beastification a Golden-Horned Flood Python, so that Beastification Golden-Horned Flood Python might evolve into Divine Dragon someday!
Furthermore, Qin Hao also learned that this swamp was located within a massive formation, and all creatures within it were unable to leave the formation.
According to the Golden-Horned Flood Python, this formation has existed since ancient times.
Of course, there is one place within this formation that contains a large number of Spirit Bead.
Every year, the monsters here must come to this ruin to obtain 100 Spirit Bead, which they then consume and refine.
Spirit Bead can enhance strength and improve physical constitution.
Perfect timing! These few days are the annual time when demonic beasts venture into the ruins to obtain Spirit Bead orbs.
Knowing this information, Qin Hao was extremely excited, as his purpose was to obtain the Spirit Bead within the ruins.
Qin Hao thought about how the Heavenly Giant Python he killed yesterday contained 3,998 Spirit Bead, which clearly couldn't have been obtained simply by claiming them.
So he quickly asked, "Sisi! (You can only receive 100 Spirit Bead a year, what if you want more?)"
Upon hearing this, the Golden-Horned Flood Python stared wide-eyed at Qin Hao, and after a long pause, said, "Sss! (As expected of the Ba Snake clan, quite ambitious indeed. You want more?)"
"Sigh! (Who wouldn't want more of something as good as Spirit Bead?)"
"Sigh! (That's right, such a good thing is something that not only demonic beasts would fight over, but even human cultivators would scramble for it. So, after everyone receives the Spirit Bead, there will be a huge riot!)"
Afterwards, the Golden-Horned Flood Python told Qin Hao that if he wanted more Spirit Bead, he should hunt down other demonic beasts while they were still in the stomach and hadn't had time to digest them, and swallow them whole. The Spirit Bead would naturally be swallowed along with them.
This also explains why the Green Poison Python only has 100 Spirit Bead and why it ran to the outermost part of the Horror Swamp; it was actually to avoid being eaten by other monsters.
There was also the Heavenly Giant Python, which, upon seeing the Thunder Tribulation, rushed directly towards its direction.
After all, the Heavenly Giant Python is Beast Emperor Tenth Rank, so in this S-Rank Otherworld, it is considered to be at the top level of combat power. Naturally, it is not afraid of anything and seems very reckless.
Moreover, when the Heavenly Giant Python found Qin Hao, it had probably already swallowed at least 39 demonic beasts.
There are only 3 days left to collect the Spirit Bead, so it's considered late.
The Golden-Horned Flood Python is only going now to avoid confronting the Beast Emperor.
The period for receiving the Spirit Bead each year lasts for three months.
Generally speaking, demonic beasts of the Beast General Rank and below will collect their Spirit Bead within the first month.
The Beast Marquis Rank only went in the second month, while the Beast Emperor level only went at the beginning of the last month.
The Beast King level was actually claimed last.
The purpose of acquiring low-level demonic beasts is to avoid being hunted by high-level demonic beasts, so it's best to obtain them as early as possible and then find a secluded place to refine them.
After all, these Spirit Bead are not easy to refine. The lower one's strength, the slower the refining speed, and it may take a month to refine just one.
High-level demonic beasts hunt down low-level demonic beasts after the low-level demonic beasts have finished receiving their rewards, in order to obtain Spirit Bead and enhance their strength.
Throughout the journey, Qin Hao remained wary of the Golden-Horned Flood Python beside him, given that the aura emanating from his Beastification Ba Snake form only indicated Beast King First Tier strength.
Moreover, this is not his true strength; in reality, Qin Hao is only at the Martial General Fourth Rank.
That's why the Fire-Scale Flame Python and the Golden-Horned Flood Python that they encountered earlier didn't immediately devour Qin Hao.
After all, they are both Beast King- level powerhouses. Although their ranks are different, their strength is uncertain. Qin Hao's Ba Snake is also of a very high bloodline level.
Qin Hao followed the Golden-Horned Flood Python slowly toward the ruins, encountering other types of demonic beasts along the way, all of which were at the Beast King level.
Qin Hao was, after all, a Beastification into a beast, so he couldn't simply devour it like a snake-like monster. As a human, he couldn't do that.
So they all gave themselves to the Golden-Horned Flood Python to devour. The two snakes always worked together to kill one monster after another, but Qin Hao refused to take them and gave them all to the Golden-Horned Flood Python.
The Golden-Horned Flood Python was very happy about this, and its wariness towards Qin Hao decreased considerably.
Along the way, they hunted down nearly 3 Flame Monkeys, 4 Frost Crocodiles, and 8 Lightning Bird.
These are all demonic beasts that live in the Horror Swamp, so most of them have just received their Spirit Bead.
The Golden-Horned Flood Python obtained 1300 Spirit Bead at once, a truly bountiful harvest.
The main reason is that these monsters are relatively small, so the Golden-Horned Flood Python won't feel bloated after swallowing them.
After traveling for a day and a night, we finally arrived at the legendary ruins.
This ruin is actually a city. Upon arriving at the city gate, it is inscribed with the words: "Penglai Immortal City".
The city gates were a pair of enormous Qing Tong gates, which were open at the moment.
Heavenly Giant Pythons and Tiger-Stripe Giant Frogs could easily pass through the door, demonstrating its immense size.
In any case, it was nothing like the city gates in the human world; everything was magnified dozens of times.
The Golden-Horned Flood Python then introduced the ruins to Qin Hao, saying, "Brother, this is the ruins. Once we're inside, we can't fight, or we'll be blasted to death by a mysterious force!"
"Thanks for letting me know, brother."
And so, the two entered the Penglai Immortal City of Penglai.
As soon as he entered, Qin Hao felt an immense pressure descend upon him.
The pressure was immense, directly forcing Qin Hao back to his original human form before it disappeared.
Fortunately, the Golden-Horned Flood Python was crawling ahead, so it didn't notice them.
Qin Hao quickly activated his Beastification Ability again, Beastification Ba Snake), and then followed...
