The aged voice still echoed across the scorching Gobi Desert, but the disheveled old man's figure had long since disappeared. It wasn't until a moment later that everyone present gradually recovered from the immense pressure they had felt a moment ago.
The tense nerves of everyone suddenly relaxed at this moment, cold sweat poured down, and the already exhausted bodies became even weaker. The scorching sun shone mercilessly down, falling on their reddened skin, and the sweat quickly evaporated.
At this moment, apart from the three Nine-Star Dou Di and Xiao Yan, everyone else in the arena was sitting cross-legged on the ground, beginning to recover the power that had been lost from their bodies.
Seeing everyone sitting cross-legged on the ground, the three middle-aged men exchanged glances, nodded, and dispersed to carefully survey their surroundings.
Watching the disheveled old man leave, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his gaze, casually sweeping over everyone present. He was about to sit cross-legged when his expression suddenly changed, and the gazes of the three middle-aged men also converged instantly.
The four of them turned their gazes simultaneously to the very center of the group, beneath the rubble-strewn ground. They could clearly sense an extremely powerful aura surging rapidly from beneath the earth, like magma about to burst forth, which made the four of them shudder.
"Get out of here!"
The three middle-aged men shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
Everyone who had just been sitting cross-legged in the room was instantly jolted awake. As they regained their senses, they quickly retreated, each slipping away from their seat.
"Bang!"
Almost simultaneously, the ground where everyone stood was suddenly torn open from bottom to top by a tremendous force, dust flew up, and a giant beast burst out of the ground before everyone's eyes. Its sharp roar turned into an invisible sound wave, accompanied by an extremely terrifying and powerful aura of destruction.
" Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di, huh? Damn beast, you almost hurt me!"
"Knowing that there are three Nine-Star Dou Di here, they still dared to barge out! They're courting death!"
Coming to their senses, the three middle-aged men's expressions immediately turned grim. With a wave of their sleeves, a hurricane swept out, clearing away the dust and mist that filled the air, and the appearance of the giant beast before them became clear in an instant.
"Hiss..."
A scarlet tongue flickered in the air, emanating an extremely strong, pungent stench. Two triangular eyes swept over the three middle-aged men, their purple pupils revealing a deep, bloodthirsty glint.
Its massive body stood like a pillar before everyone's eyes, casting a huge shadow over all those present and also casting a heavy gloom over their hearts.
" Red-Scaled Python? How could it be this thing?!"
"Damn it, doesn't that mean..."
Upon seeing the enormous python before them, the three middle-aged men's expressions immediately changed. If it were any other magical beast, it wouldn't be so bad, but this creature...
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as the three people's expressions changed, three more sounds of earth breaking rang out in succession. Everyone present looked extremely ugly. As they looked around, they saw three more giant pythons, exactly the same size as the first ones, standing around them and surrounding them all.
Thus, the four Red-Scaled Python appearing on the field are equivalent to four Nine-Star Dou Di!
"Four heads!"
"Damn it, it's four Red-Scaled Python!"
Red-Scaled Python often live in groups when they are young, and they only leave the group after they reach maturity. Even so, Red-Scaled Python still form small groups. A group of four Red-Scaled Python living together like this is already considered a top-tier existence in this Red Silk Gobi!
"Damn it, this is a real problem. It's all that old man's fault. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten ourselves into trouble with these beasts!"
Upon seeing the four giant pythons, the three middle-aged men's expressions immediately turned grim. Three against four, they had no chance of winning, and as for the ordinary Dou Di experts around them, they had no hope at all.
In the face of absolute power, numbers don't matter. Even though everyone present was a Dou Di expert, they were still no match for Nine-Star Dou Di.
As these three middle-aged men realized this, the surrounding Dou Di powerhouses were also concerned about the same thing. They were all well aware of how terrifying the Red-Scaled Python was, and judging from the current situation, they had no choice but to run away.
"Hiss!"
However, just as the crowd was preparing to scatter and flee, the four giant pythons took the initiative. Their massive bodies twisted and turned, and their snake bodies, which were buried in the ground, emerged outward like mountains, quickly blocking the way for everyone present.
At this moment, everyone present, including the three middle-aged men and Xiao Yan, was completely surrounded by the four giant pythons, becoming trapped like turtles in a jar, with nowhere to retreat.
"Damn it, there's no turning back, we have to force our way through!"
The expressions of the Dou Di experts changed drastically. Several of them gritted their teeth in hatred and looked at the narrow gap between the four Red-Scaled Python. From there, a large area of the outside world could still be seen. Clearly, that was the best breakthrough point.
"Charge! We absolutely cannot sit here and wait to die; we must break out alive!"
"Charge!"
As several roars subsided, two or three Dou Di experts in the arena disregarded others and rushed forward, trying to take the opportunity to escape the encirclement of the four giant pythons.
"Those idiots are practically asking for death!"
Upon seeing this, the three Nine-Star Dou Di cast pitying glances at them.
It wasn't that they didn't want to save them; these guys were just asking for trouble, so they couldn't be blamed for standing by.
Immediately afterward, the figures that had rushed out appeared before the four giant pythons in a flash. It seemed they would escape the encirclement at any moment, but then...
"Hiss!"
A hoarse roar came from the giant python's mouth. Almost simultaneously, several gaping maws flashed across the sky like shooting stars. Accompanied by several screams, the powerful Dou Di experts were torn into pieces by the four Red-Scaled Python in the blink of an eye.
Then, amidst the terrified gazes of the remaining crowd, the four giant pythons turned their bloodthirsty eyes toward them.
"These four beasts are not easy to deal with. The three of us will each hold one off. As for the last one, that depends on your luck!"
The three Nine-Star Dou Di looked extremely solemn. They issued a warning and then shot forward, each facing a Red-Scaled Python.
As for the rest, they were all terrified, too busy trying to save their own lives to have the courage to face the Red-Scaled Python.
As for Xiao Yan, looking at the remaining Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di level Red-Scaled Python in front of him, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
This Red-Scaled Python is not only powerful in cultivation, but its flesh and blood body is also incredibly strong. The violent power contained in its bloodline is an excellent material for tempering the body. If it can be killed and its bloodline obtained, Xiao Yan's physical strength will undoubtedly be enhanced!
