The sky was a clear, deep blue, with a silvery-black rainbow streaking across it, leaving a trail of white steam stretching for several kilometers behind it—a truly magnificent sight when viewed from below.
Since there were no Legendary creatures around the Land of Falling Stars, Gustavo no longer needed to be cautious and could go full speed ahead, making a grand entrance.
Caro Volcano is only four or five hundred kilometers away from the Land of Falling Stars. Gustavo arrived there in no time, traveling at full speed.
Energy spider silk spread out in an overwhelming manner, Spider-Sense attached to it, and all kinds of information from heaven and earth and nature gathered from all directions. After being arranged and combined by Gustavo's brain, it formed a complete information chain.
"Huh? That Earth Flame Python isn't at Caro Volcano? Where did it go?" Gustavo wondered in surprise. "Could it have run away?"
Frowning, Gustavo pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"He probably won't run away. Two months ago, he was still searching for me everywhere. It seems he's still doing it now."
With a sudden thought, Gustavo landed, activated his Spider-Sense, and began to examine the ground with greater precision, finally discovering the faint traces left by the Earth Flame Python.
"The North?"
Raising his head, a fierce glint flashed in his eight eerie green pupils. Gustavo soared into the sky once more. This time, he didn't make a big fuss. Instead, he used an invisibility cloak to conceal his body and blend into the environment, heading towards the location of the Earth Flame Python.
In the center of a dense forest, the Earth Flame Python coiled up, its massive body covered in scales that were predominantly yellowish-brown, making it look like a mountain from a distance.
At this moment, the Earth Flame Python was resting, its eyes slightly closed, and powerful gusts of air were exhaled from its nostrils, causing the grass and trees on the ground to fly.
As a wild magical beast, the Earth Flame Python is extremely vigilant. Even when it is asleep, its body remains closely connected to the earth's pulse, and it cannot miss any movement within a radius of several kilometers.
In mid-air, Gustavo looked down.
Gravity Control endowed Gustavo with the special ability to see the various force fields permeating the world with the naked eye.
From this perspective, the world seems to be woven from a network of intersecting threads, with everything connected by these threads, thus forming a tight and stable structure.
Around the Earth Flame Python, the number of these threads expanded several times, densely packed like balls of yarn, stretching from the sky to the ground, across the north and south, and connecting the east and west, forming an elliptical, three-dimensional sensory network.
Any other creature that enters this network will be detected instantly.
"It seems a sneak attack will be a bit difficult, but I wasn't planning on doing so anyway," Gustavo muttered to himself. Since advancing to the Tier Seven, he had only fought against the black Mage Wight and the Legendary black Mage Frodo.
The former suffered heavy losses, while the latter was unable to withstand the attack.
The fights weren't very enjoyable.
As Dragon-Hunting Spider, Gustavo enjoys ambushing others, but he also craves the exhilarating and intense battle of head-on confrontation.
Of course, this is on the premise that one's life is not in danger, just like this Earth Flame Python in front of us, which can be attacked however one wants.
With this thought in mind, Gustavo deactivated his invisibility cloak and equipped himself with the Book of Cloud and Sky.
After this four-star Rare magical equipment merged with him, Gustavo clearly felt that the energy flow within his body was much smoother, and its toughness and precision were also much stronger than before, with numerous other benefits as well.
On the information panel, the combat power level soared all the way up to 902 points before finally stopping.
"Wow, it's directly reached the Upper Tier Nine combat power. As expected of Legendary main battle equipment, even if only a portion of its power is unleashed, it's still so impressive." Feeling the surging power within his body like waves crashing against the shore, Gustavo widened his eyes and looked at the Earth Flame Python on the ground.
The python that had initially posed a threat to him now seemed like a lamb to the slaughter; its massive size was no longer a threat, and it even gave off a sense of being empty and hollow.
"Sending you on your way!"
Muttering to himself, Gustavo no longer concealed his aura, unleashing full power to Gravity Control gravity. The combination of anti-gravity and repulsive fields made Gustavo seem like a spaceship equipped with a hyperspace propulsion device, instantly breaking the sound barrier and emitting a deafening roar, like a meteor falling to earth, crashing into the coiled Earth Flame Python on the ground.
The network of threads formed by the earth's pulse was instantly pierced by Gustavo, creating a large hole.
In a flash.
The Earth Flame Python's vertical pupils, the size of a house and resembling yellow crystals, suddenly opened wide. After a deafening roar, countless earth elements gathered and visibly formed a thick stone shell, enveloping its body.
Now, the Earth Flame Python truly transformed into a mountain.
Facing the defensive stone shell formed by the Earth Flame Python's innate magic, Gustavo's expression remained as cold and resolute as ever, without the slightest surprise or hesitation.
He turned his eight claws forward, brought them together, and the tips of his eight blade-like feet converged at a single point, while the barbs on his body slightly adjusted their angle.
Immediately afterwards, Gustavo's entire body began to spin rapidly, like an oversized drill, striking the Earth Flame Python with devastating force.
Boom!!!
First came a deafening explosion, sending earth and rocks flying, smoke and dust billowing everywhere, and a Berserk wind sweeping across the land, snapping trees and cracking the earth.
Looking at the Earth Flame Python again, a large hole with a diameter of ten meters had appeared on its thick stone shell. First, stone powder was constantly being thrown out, then broken scales, and then blood and bone fragments poured out like a torrential rain.
Boom!!
The mountains collapsed.
A piercing scream echoed through the sky, and the wildly thrashing, massive body of the snake wreaked havoc on the earth, leaving a scene of utter devastation.
Looking around, one could see a large, gaping hole in the belly of this enormous creature, a mixture of flesh and bone, making it look particularly gruesome.
"That Venomous Dragon Drill, it must have been quite a blow for you, right?" Gustavo landed on the ground, his entire body stained red with the blood of the Earth Flame Python, his barbs covered with chunks of flesh and skin of varying sizes.
"Damn spider, I'll kill you!" the Earth Flame Python roared, and a terrifying gravity field descended upon it.
However, Gustavo remained calm in the face of this attack. He was no longer afraid of the Earth Flame Python's gravity suppression.
"Um?!!"
Seeing that its attacks were ineffective, the Earth Flame Python had a bad feeling.
At the same time, a wave of horror swept through my mind.
The spider monster's progress was terrifyingly rapid. Only two or three months had passed, and the creature that he had previously chased around was now standing confidently in front of him, looking completely at ease.
Even more terrifying, the Earth Flame Python sensed a deadly threat from Gustavo.
He can kill me!
