Chapter 33: Green Flame Python
The Amethyst Winged Lion King led Chen Xuan towards the Green Flame Python's lair.
The Green Flame Python's lair was in a cool, shaded valley.
Upon arrival, they found the valley surrounded by towering trees.
The light here was dim, and cool breezes occasionally swept through, giving off an eerie feeling.
"I can't sense its aura. Where is this thing?" Chen Xuan asked.
He stood at the highest point of the valley, looking around, but saw no Green Flame Python, nor could he even sense its aura.
He hoped to subjugate the Green Flame Python and make it his subordinate this time.
If successful, he would gain another Sixth-tier Monster Beast as a subordinate.
And this Monster Beast was late-stage Sixth-tier; it wouldn't be long before it reached Seventh-tier.
"Boss, that venomous snake is hidden deep within the valley; it rarely comes out," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said. "Last time it came out was mainly because the commotion I caused was too great and startled it, so I ended up fighting it."
Last time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had robbed a human expert and chased them into this valley. The battle awakened the Green Flame Python.
That human was burned to death by a blast of venomous fire from the Green Flame Python, leaving nothing but ash.
If the Amethyst Winged Lion King hadn't possessed Sixth-tier strength, it would surely have been killed by the Green Flame Python.
"You find it, and I'll watch from the side," Chen Xuan said calmly.
The Green Flame Python was merely a late-stage Sixth-tier Monster Beast, so Chen Xuan wasn't worried.
Even if the Green Flame Python were a Seventh-tier Monster Beast, he could still kill it.
"Alright, Boss," the Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded, then flew up and circled above the valley.
With Chen Xuan watching from the side, the Amethyst Winged Lion King wasn't worried about the Green Flame Python.
Because it knew Chen Xuan's strength, dealing with a Sixth-tier Monster Beast was no problem.
It had come this time hoping Chen Xuan would help it vent its anger.
After all, it had been thoroughly embarrassed by the Green Flame Python last time.
Power gathered within its body, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King opened its gaping maw, immense power consolidating within its mouth.
Its gaping maw gathered purple power, emanating an aura that made one's heart pound.
With its gaze locked on the deepest part of the valley, the Amethyst Winged Lion King launched its attack.
Purple power burst from its mouth, streaking across the sky, shooting towards the depths of the valley.
The purple energy was like a pillar of purple light, like purple lightning from beyond the heavens.
Boom!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's power struck a spot on the ground and instantly exploded. The immense force blew a massive crater in the ground, seven or eight meters deep.
The ground trembled, as if an earthquake were coming.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground, spreading outwards.
The attack caused immense destruction, plunging the entire valley into violent tremors, which only subsided after a long while.
"Amethyst Winged Lion King, you dare to come looking for trouble again? It seems you've forgotten the lesson from last time, haven't you?"
The furious roar of the Green Flame Python echoed from deep within the valley.
The Green Flame Python had been in the middle of mating with a female snake, just getting excited, when it was interrupted by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Being interrupted at such a moment infuriated it.
After all, it had finally found a suitable female snake.
Rustle rustle...
A rustling sound, like a massive object dragging across the ground, came from deep within the valley. A fierce aura spread out, quickly enveloping the surroundings of the valley.
Immediately after, a massive, grotesque python head appeared before Chen Xuan.
Soon, a colossal snake appeared in the center of the valley.
The great snake was entirely emerald green, its pale green pupils gleamed with an icy coldness, and its scales shimmered with a faint green glow in the sparse light, giving off an eerie sensation.
Its palm-sized scales looked like refined copper and iron plates.
On both sides of its throat, where its vitals were, grew a pair of large green fleshy wings, which looked somewhat strange.
"This snake looks so cute," Chen Xuan chuckled upon seeing the Green Flame Python.
It was his first time seeing such a winged snake, and a large one at that.
Its massive wings flapped, stirring up gusts of wind, and the Green Flame Python's enormous body levitated, hovering in the air, facing off against the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The two Monster Beasts confronted each other in mid-air, radiating powerful auras.
The Monster Beasts surrounding the valley sensed the two fierce Monster Beast auras and fled in all directions.
Staring at the Amethyst Winged Lion King with its pale green eyes, the Green Flame Python said sinisterly, "You wretched lion, ruining my good time! I'm going to eat you today, so you'll know the consequences of interrupting me!"
Its aura surged, and the entire valley was filled with the presence of a late-stage Sixth-tier Monster Beast.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes were wary as it stared at the Green Flame Python, a hint of fear in its gaze.
Having experienced the Green Flame Python's venomous fire before, it knew its opponent was formidable.
Though the Amethyst Winged Lion King also possessed Beast Fire, it paled in comparison to the Green Flame Python's venomous fire.
The Green Flame Python's venomous fire was not only highly toxic but also corrosive, capable of eroding an opponent's strength.
This was one of the reasons the Amethyst Winged Lion King couldn't defeat it.
"You want to teach me a lesson? Go ask my boss first. You won't be so arrogant in front of my boss," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said, showing no fear.
As a Seventh-tier Monster Beast, Chen Xuan could naturally handle a Sixth-tier Monster Beast.
After all, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had witnessed Chen Xuan's formidable strength firsthand.
And Chen Xuan hadn't even unleashed his full power then.
"Your boss?" The Green Flame Python's eyes shifted to Chen Xuan, a look of disdain in its gaze. "Hmph, Amethyst Winged Lion King, you're really a disgrace to us monster beasts, recognizing a human as your master. What a piece of trash."
It couldn't sense any aura from Chen Xuan, so it assumed he was a human expert, likely quite powerful.
For the Amethyst Winged Lion King to submit, its master's strength naturally had to surpass its own.
"Heh heh, you'll see how powerful my boss is soon enough," the Amethyst Winged Lion King laughed gleefully.
It stopped wasting words and left the battlefield, figuring it was better to let Chen Xuan handle this.
Chen Xuan also knew that the Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't want to face the Green Flame Python, which was why it was trying to pass the buck to him.
"Hmph, I'd like to see just how powerful your master is," the Green Flame Python said, its gaze fixed on Chen Xuan menacingly. "It just so happens that I'm in the transformation stage; devouring a human expert would greatly enhance my strength."
"You don't have the ability to devour me," Chen Xuan said dismissively. "I'll give you a chance: submit to me and become my subordinate."
"Dream on! I'd rather die than be a slave to you humans. Go to hell!" the Green Flame Python roared.
Its aura erupted, and it opened its mouth, spewing a stream of green flames at Chen Xuan.
The green flames carried astonishing heat and a powerful venom. Wherever they passed, the void slightly warped, as if about to be torn apart.
Chen Xuan didn't dodge the Green Flame Python's attack.
Using the Dou Huang Experience Card, his aura instantly surged to the Eight-star Dou Huang level.
Purple flames rose from his palm. With a wave of his hand, a wall of purple flames appeared before him.
The two streams of flames collided, creating immense destructive power, and astonishing heatwaves swept through the surroundings.
The temperature in the surrounding space rose to terrifying levels.
Soon, the purple flames released by Chen Xuan gradually began to lose ground.
This was because the Beast Fire spewed by the Green Flame Python was powerfully corrosive.
"Tsk tsk, this level of flame is perfect for tempering my body. I can't miss this opportunity," Chen Xuan thought, secretly pleased.
He simply withdrew his purple flames, allowing the flames spewed by the Green Flame Python to envelop his entire body.
"Even a Seventh-tier Monster Beast would retreat under my venomous fire. An Eight-star Dou Huang like you is hardly worth mentioning," the Green Flame Python said triumphantly.
