Luckily, they weren't discovered, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
Although he had found the ruins, Qin Hao did not yet know the situation inside, so he did not want to reveal himself for the time being.
Following the Golden-Horned Flood Python deeper inside, Qin Hao discovered that the ruins were actually a city.
The city has streets and various shops.
However, the shops were empty, and the streets were deserted.
Just then, a Green Poison Python crawled out from the front; it possessed the strength of a Beast King First Tier.
Upon seeing the Golden-Horned Flood Python and Qin Hao, the Green Poison Python stared intently at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao thought the Green Poison Python had recognized him, so he felt a little nervous and guilty.
At this moment, after the Golden-Horned Flood Python had gone far away, the Green Poison Python suddenly approached.
"Hey! (Brother, what's going on with you? You're only coming to collect the Spirit Bead now? Don't you want to live? And you're even hanging out with that Beast King Tenth Tier Golden-Horned Flood Python?)"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao found it amusing, thinking that he didn't believe the Green Poison Python would be so kind.
Sure enough, at this moment, the Green Poison Python spoke again, "Hehe! (Brother, I think we should cooperate, and in a while...)"
That's right, the Green Poison Python wanted to win over Qin Hao so they could take down the Golden-Horned Flood Python together and split the Spirit Bead they got.
Qin Hao never expected that the human world was like this, full of deceit and treachery, and that the world of demon beasts was just as treacherous.
Qin Hao thought about it for a moment, then agreed.
Anyway, Qin Hao wanted to kill all these demonic beasts, since each of them contained at least 100 Spirit Bead.
And so, the Green Poison Python and Qin Hao made a deal: once he and the Golden-Horned Flood Python received the Spirit Bead, they would definitely leave the city, and the Green Poison Python would wait for them at the city gate.
Qin Hao's lips curled up, revealing a strange expression on his enormous snake head.
The Golden-Horned Flood Python actually knew all along that Qin Hao and the Green Poison Python wanted to get rid of it.
However, he also wore a strange expression, clearly indicating that everything was within its calculations.
The two giant snakes arrived at the place where the Spirit Bead were to be received, which was a martial arts arena in the City Lord's Mansion.
There is an altar in the training ground, and a teleportation array on the altar.
At this moment, dozens of demonic beasts were queuing up ahead to receive Spirit Bead.
Among them are monsters such as the Heavenly Giant Python, Tiger-Spotted Frog, Green Poison Python, Golden-Horned Flood Python, Lightning Bird, and Flame Monkey.
However, at this moment, every monster was behaving very docilely, and their natural enemies were all peaceful with each other.
This is mainly because of the city's rules, which forbid fighting; otherwise, one will be eliminated by the city's mysterious forces.
Qin Hao discovered that each time a demonic beast arrived at the altar, it would immediately send out a full 100 Spirit Bead from the teleportation array.
This is very strange. Qin Hao finds it hard to believe that no one is manipulating things here.
Think about it, a three-month-long Spirit Bead Conference is held every year, just to distribute 100 Spirit Bead to the monsters in this Horror Swamp.
To be honest, 100 Spirit Beads are a rare item, second only to Spirit Liquid. It's like a large company in the human world giving its employees 10 billion RMB in bonuses every year!
Could it be that the monsters here are all domesticated, and there are two reasons for holding this Spirit Bead Conference?
One reason is to incite the monsters in the Horror Swamp to kill each other, thereby reducing their numbers.
After all, with so many different types of monsters living in one area, over time the number of monsters would easily become too large, making it impossible to contain them all.
Another purpose is probably to control the monsters here, or rather, to cultivate them, just like a sorcerer raises poisonous insects.
And indeed, this was the case. Qin Hao learned from the Golden-Horned Flood Python that a Golden-Horned Flood Python had once successfully transformed into a dragon and broken through to become a Beast Sect- level demon beast in this swamp.
However, immediately after its breakthrough, it was teleported away from this place by a mysterious force.
In the words of the Golden-Horned Flood Python, it ascended to a higher realm.
Because the laws of this world can only accommodate demonic beasts of the Beast Emperor Tenth Rank; those exceeding this limit will ascend to the Upper Realm.
Of course, Qin Hao didn't think too much about it; he just wanted the Spirit Bead in the ruins, he wanted them all.
Soon, it was the Golden-Horned Flood Python and Qin Hao's turn to receive the Spirit Bead.
The Golden-Horned Flood Python crawled to the altar, and then a golden light flashed, revealing 100 Spirit Bead on the altar.
Then came Qin Hao, who, like all the previous demonic beasts, arrived before the altar.
At this moment, a mysterious force swept over Qin Hao's entire body, as if leaving no secrets behind.
At this moment, a powerful pressure suddenly emanated from the altar, and then Qin Hao transformed back into his original human form.
The other demonic beasts below the stage all stared wide-eyed at the sight.
At that moment, a powerful force blasted Qin Hao away, sending him crashing outside the altar.
"Puff!"
Qin Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood, suffering a severe injury.
At this moment, the Golden-Horned Flood Python said with an incredulous expression, "Sisi (I didn't expect you to be human, but how come you can speak our beast language?)"
Because of the city's regulations prohibiting the use of force, Qin Hao is currently safe; otherwise, he would be in serious trouble.
There are more than 30 demonic beasts on the training ground right now, and the weakest of them are all at the Beast King First Tier.
If a fight breaks out, Qin Hao is definitely doomed.
Qin Hao hadn't expected that the Spirit Bead could be obtained separately for demon beasts and humans.
Since I am not a demon beast, I did not obtain 100 Spirit Bead.
He took out the Spirit Liquid, drank a sip, and focused on recovering from his injuries.
Then Qin Hao walked directly into the City Lord's Mansion.
The monsters outside were all shocked, thinking that this human was doomed for daring to approach the City Lord's Mansion.
There were also fearless demonic beasts that tried to enter the City Lord's Mansion, but just like the magic array in the Horror Swamp, they were bounced back and then blasted to death by a mysterious force.
However, something happened that greatly surprised these demonic beasts: Qin Hao entered the City Lord's Mansion with ease, without any hindrance whatsoever.
Seeing this, some of the monsters also wanted to try and see if they could get in.
Of course, these monsters were all newly born and clueless, so they dared to try.
As a result, an invisible force struck them, sending them flying.
Then a mysterious golden light descended, and the group of demonic beasts were blasted into clouds of blood mist.
Of course, the Spirit Bead they had swallowed were still there, but these Spirit Bead were guided by a mysterious golden light and flew up, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Qin Hao naturally noticed this scene and was overjoyed.
He was also thinking about how to conduct the exploration, and what to do if there was any danger.
It's like someone brings you tea as soon as you're thirsty, or steamed buns as soon as you're hungry.
They quickly followed the direction the Spirit Bead had flown, afraid of losing it.
It must be said, the Spirit Bead guided by the golden light flew extremely fast; Qin Hao had to use his Wind Wings to barely keep up.
