Verdant Python's Venom

"Roar~~"

The Verdant Python's meal was interrupted, and it let out a muffled roar. However, the food in its mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, making it temporarily unable to move freely. Just as it used its tail to fling away the two large trees that had flown at it, two large branches stabbed toward its large eyes.

In that instant, the Verdant Python could only choose to close its eyes, while simultaneously sweeping its already moving tail forward.

Whoosh~

The snake's tail swept through the air, creating a gust of wind that howled, its momentum quite frightening.

"Aya!"

Having already thrown away the large trees in their hands, the two Iron-Arm Apes were now rushing towards the Verdant Python. As the snake's tail attacked, they both let out a strange cry and jumped towards the Verdant Python's neck (generally the three-inch vital spot for snakes).

"Roar~"

Although the Verdant Python had closed its eyes, its senses were not to be underestimated. Noticing something pouncing at it, it directly opened its large mouth and bit at one of them.

"Awoo~"

The wide-open snake jaws directly swallowed one of the Iron-Arm Apes whole. The Iron-Arm Ape that had been bitten struggled continuously in its mouth, causing its snake jaws to undulate erratically. Clearly, the Iron-Arm Ape's strength was a challenge to its bite force.

"Chichi~~"

Suddenly, bursts of white smoke emerged from the Verdant Python's mouth. "Aya aya!" The miserable screams made one's scalp tingle. After a series of frantic undulations, the Verdant Python's mouth returned to silence.

"Aya~~"

Accompanied by a strange cry, the other Iron-Arm Ape that had flown up successfully jumped onto the massive python body. All four claws worked together, and the force of ten thousand pounds, combined with the sharp monkey claws, instantly broke through the Verdant Python's body surface defenses.

"Pfft!"

A pair of sharp claws inserted into the Verdant Python's flesh and blood. With a fierce pull from the Iron-Arm Ape, scattered scales flew everywhere, and four bloody wounds appeared on the Verdant Python's body.

"Roar~~"

The Verdant Python never dreamed that it would be injured by the Iron-Arm Apes it considered prey. It opened its vertical pupils and roared madly, convulsing and rolling on the ground. The Iron-Arm Ape hanging on its body was caught off guard and directly crushed into a pile of minced meat.

"Aya!"

"Aya aya!"

"Aya~~~"

Seeing this scene, the two Iron-Arm Apes not only didn't run away, but instead jumped up at the same time, wanting to end the Verdant Python's life.

"Roar~~"

Although the Verdant Python was in so much pain that it was going crazy, seeing that the two 'little monkeys' still dared to provoke it, it directly sprayed a mouthful of cyan venom at them.

"Chichi~~"

The cyan 'water gun' instantly hit one of the rushing Iron-Arm Apes head-on. This demonic beast didn't even have time to wail before it turned into a pool of blood. The splashing residual poison splattered onto the body of the other Iron-Arm Ape.

"Aya~"

The pain sobered up the hate-filled Iron-Arm Ape, and it turned around immediately, preparing to escape.

"Whoosh~"

Seeing that the monkey was about to escape, the Verdant Python instantly shot out towards it. A green shadow came to the Iron-Arm Ape's back as it ran for its life, like an arrow leaving the string.

"Crack!"

The huge python mouth bit off the running Iron-Arm Ape and a section of the tree trunk whole. As wisps of white smoke emerged from the seams of the Verdant Python's mouth, this massacre of the Iron-Arm Apes came to an end.

"Thump~"

With a series of openings and closings of the Verdant Python's mouth, a bloody Iron-Arm Ape slammed heavily onto the ground. Also falling to the ground were several sections of tree trunk, charred black like charcoal, with wisps of white smoke constantly rising, as if they were branches soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid.

"What potent venom!"

In the distance, Gu Sheng, who had been observing all along, had his pupils shrink sharply. This kind of highly toxic poison, not to mention him, a half-baked practitioner of Internal Fist who hadn't been cultivating for long, even Teng Qingshan, who would later reach the Grandmaster Realm and be able to control his body's Blood Essence, would find it extremely troublesome to deal with.

"Roar~"

The Verdant Python's voice was slightly low. Using so much venom in such a short period of time was also a considerable drain on it.

The huge python head moved left and right in a circle, and after confirming that there were no oversights, it lowered its head and bit the already corroded, bloody Iron-Arm Ape, swallowing it whole in a few gulps, and then swallowed the Iron-Arm Ape that had been crushed into a pile of flesh, just like the previous one.

After eating nearly four Iron-Arm Apes in a row, its body inevitably became a little fatter. After turning around left and right and finding nothing, it turned its head and slithered into the green grass.

"Whew~"

Gu Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was really scared to death just now. He believed that he had been very careful to use Internal Fist to try his best to restrain his Blood Essence and heartbeat, but the senses of this kind of demonic beast were truly terrifying.

It seemed to have still discovered some clues, but for some reason it didn't come over directly, probably because it hadn't directly discovered Gu Sheng's whereabouts, and it wasn't interested in running over to search for a 'small ant' now that it was injured.

"That was close. If it had really come over, then I might have had to return early."

A trace of worry flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes. Although he and Chu Xin had both reached the most basic requirements for returning, and both had at least one percent of the plot twist degree, if they returned early, then his many days of planning would be wasted.

Of course, Gu Sheng wasn't the kind of person who only cared about money and didn't care about his life. If it really came to a point where things couldn't be done, he would rather lose everything than joke around with his life.

He was taking risks, not gambling his life. If you gamble your life once, there will be a next time. If you walk the night road too much, you will inevitably encounter ghosts. He didn't want to fall on his own boldness in the future.

Gu Sheng tiptoed down the big tree and slowly walked towards the battlefield where the Iron-Arm Apes and the Verdant Python had fought. This originally verdant grass was a mess, with branches and broken grass scattered everywhere. The pools of black 'water' made people feel horrified. These were all traces left by the Verdant Python Venom.

The Verdant Python's strength increases with its size, and now it seems that its venom is also the same.

"Record to database!"

Gu Sheng tentatively touched a charred tree branch with his index finger. His fingernail visibly began to turn black, with the discoloration spreading upwards.

"Ding!"

A notification sounded, "Verdant Python Venom recorded. Main components: ... Effects: ..."

Confirming that the venom had been recorded, Gu Sheng hurriedly stood up and flicked his finger. As he circulated his Blood Essence with Internal Fist techniques, wisps of green smoke emerged from his fingertip. In just a moment, beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

A solemn look flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes. Lucky I was the one who touched the tree trunk. If any Postnatal martial artist other than Teng Qingshan had done it, they'd probably be dead by now.

"Where there are poisons within a hundred feet, there must be an antidote. It's just a saying, but there's some truth to it!"

A thoughtful expression flickered in Gu Sheng's eyes as he paced through the grass, constantly bending down to pick various leaves and weeds.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

Notifications continued to sound as new plant species were recorded into Gu Sheng's system database.

The Wildlands were vast, with countless unrecorded species. For Gu Sheng, it was an untapped treasure trove. Even if he couldn't obtain the Vermillion Fruit, with these Wildlands' secret medicines, he was confident that he could become a first-rate expert with over ten thousand pounds of strength before he left.
