The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Wen was once again startled awake by a roaring sound.
He looked towards the source of the sound and was greatly surprised!
A giant python had actually stood up, appearing to be as tall as a three-story building.
Opposite it was a monstrous beast that looked like a lion from Earth, except it had two heads.
The enormous roar just now had come from one of its ferocious heads.
This lion was also very large, no smaller than the standing python, and the two were staring at each other.
The lion roared again!
At this moment, the python suddenly spat out a mouthful of eerie green gas.
Ye Wen watched in astonishment. This must be poison gas from within the python. He saw the green poison gas rapidly fly towards the Two-headed Lion.
The giant lion easily and nimbly dodged it.
But the poison gas was incredibly potent. The small trees and grass it touched withered and turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, then died, finally turning into a pile of dead grass.
What had been a lush green area moments before instantly became a barren, withered wasteland.
The Two-headed Lion seemed to realize the power of the poison gas and retreated a few steps.
Suddenly, it spat out a Fireball from one of its heads and a gust of wind-like substance from the other.
Could this be the legendary Wind Blade?
The Fireball and Wind Blade attacked the python's body at extreme speed, producing sounds like steel clashing.
Sparks also began to fly from the python's body at this moment. It was unclear if these were sparks from the dispersed Fireball or from the Wind Blade striking its scales.
Despite such a powerful attack, it caused no damage to the python at all.
At this point, the python rapidly swam towards the Two-headed Lion, its movement so immense it was like an out-of-control truck crashing into a vegetable patch.
Seeing that its attack had no effect on the python, the Two-headed Lion had already retreated a hundred meters.
At this moment, both of its heads simultaneously unleashed a powerful energy from their mouths.
This time, Ye Wen saw clearly. The Two-headed Lion had fused the Fireball and Wind Blade together and spat them out before the python could get close.
This Fireball was larger, and with the aid of the Wind Blade, not only was the fire more intense, but its speed also seemed to be faster.
It had just been spat from the lion's mouth and instantly struck the python's head.
The sound that followed was like a clap of thunder, and the impact on the ground kicked up a large cloud of dirt.
When the dirt settled and visibility cleared, Ye Wen discovered that the Two-headed Lion had disappeared!
The Two-headed Lion had actually fled.
The python stood up again and looked in the direction the Two-headed Lion had fled, but it did not pursue, allowing it to escape!
Ye Wen looked at the python's erect head, which bore no trace of injury, and was filled with terror.
The commotion caused by the explosion of the Fireball the Two-headed Lion had unleashed was far greater than that of a hand grenade exploding on Earth.
Yet, it hadn't even injured the python's head in the slightest. What terrifying defensive power was this!
Seeing this, Ye Wen dared not watch any longer. If the python were to swim over to his side, his own small size would likely not even be enough to fill its teeth.
Ye Wen slid down from the large tree and fled in the direction he had planned the day before.
Today, he did not dare to run carelessly through the forest as he had yesterday. He moved cautiously and quickly away from the area.
After walking for dozens of miles, Ye Wen estimated that the python would not follow and finally slowed his pace.
He felt his body again and discovered that he was much stronger than before he slept last night, but the improvement was not as significant as it had been initially.
Ye Wen understood. His cells had likely absorbed as much as they could for now, reaching their current limit.
But how should he improve from here? And how could he find Pre-cancerous Cells?
Ye Wen had no clue at all.
Although the "mysterious person" had left behind the Endless Sacred Dao Scripture, they had not provided any guidance on how to cultivate, nor any useful information, before simply abandoning Ye Wen in this dangerous forest.
After witnessing the fight between the two Giant Beasts, the excitement Ye Wen had felt yesterday had completely subsided!
Now, Ye Wen could only pray that he could find his way out of this terrifying forest.
Ye Wen walked for three consecutive days. During these days, he had been studying the Cultivation Method in his mind but had made no progress.
However, he found that his luck was not bad; he hadn't chosen the wrong direction.
The forest now was not as primitive as it had been at the start. The trees were not as massive, and the beasts he encountered were gradually becoming smaller.
Just a moment ago, he had even killed several rabbits and other small animals with his own hands.
Ye Wen looked at the rabbit in his hand. This was probably a rabbit, right? It looked exactly like a rabbit from Earth.
Except this rabbit was only a bit larger than an Earth rabbit, ran a bit faster, and had a bit more strength. Other than that, it had no special abilities.
