Chapter 569 - 549: Thunder-Transformed Crocodile Python

The giant creature that suddenly emerged from the river seemed to defy gravity, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards Sun Zhe in mid-air, clearly aiming for him!

Even before that bloody mouth approached, a terrifying low-frequency sound wave mixed with a thick stench vibrated through the void, making Sun Zhe feel suffocated and short of breath.

Even though he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, he also felt an extreme pressure at this moment, desperately flapping his wings to fly upward.

Thinking he could successfully evade that bloody mouth, he hadn’t expected that in the next moment, a bolt of lightning would burst forth from that maw.

The lightning struck him instantly, and Sun Zhe felt as if his whole body was about to ignite, unable to resist letting out a scream.

"Damn..."

"What the hell is this thing? It’s even stronger than my True Qi Thunder Transformation!"

Sun Zhe’s face was full of pain, continuing to fly upward while activating his True Qi Thunder Transformation to disperse the lightning striking his body.

At this moment, the voice of the Little Dragon Girl sounded in his mind, "I really can’t tell if you’re lucky or unlucky, to even encounter this creature."

Sun Zhe was curious: "What do you mean?"

The Little Dragon Girl replied, "This is a Thunderous Gator Python, a mutated species of gator python that likes to eat electrified things, like electric eels."

She continued, "I guess when you used your True Qi Thunder Essence to zap some fish earlier, it startled this creature that was cultivating in the river, and now it’s coming out to eat you."

Sun Zhe felt a bit frustrated, thinking to himself, I’ve always been the one eating others. Looking down, he saw the gigantic Thunderous Gator Python completely emerging from the water.

The gator python was nearly thirty meters long, as thick as a rice barrel, covered in brown crocodile scales, and had four claws, truly resembling a hybrid of crocodile and python.

The Little Dragon Girl said, "With your abilities, you can’t possibly kill it. If you don’t want to die, you’d better take your little lady and escape quickly."

Sun Zhe asked, "Can’t you do something about it?"

The Little Dragon Girl responded, "Why should I help kill it? It hasn’t done anything to me. Plus, it’s somewhat a kin of mine. It’s been cultivating for years, and it would be a shame to kill it, as it might turn into a dragon after another few hundred years."

Without saying more, Sun Zhe glided towards the riverbank, wrapping one arm around Leng Yueshuang’s slender waist and flying her into the sky.

"Shuang’er, are you okay?"

"I’m fine... What was that just now?"

"A Thunderous Gator Python, a very powerful Jiao Beast."

Just then, a graceful figure in a white dress floated over, appearing instantly in front of Sun Zhe.

Sun Zhe came to an abrupt halt, realizing that the newcomer was Yao Yuelong.

"Long’Er, why are you here?"

Yao Yuelong looked down at the giant beast thrashing in the river and said, "This place isn’t far from our cave. I was watching to ensure you weren’t in any danger."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe silently sighed, grateful he hadn’t done anything with Leng Yueshuang by the river earlier, or it would have been caught live.

Yao Yuelong’s lips curled slightly, "You’re lucky. Even using some True Qi Thunder Essence on fish can draw out a Thunderous Gator Python."

Sun Zhe’s expression shifted slightly, "How can running into such a terrifying monster be considered lucky?"

Yao Yuelong smiled lightly, "The Thunderous Gator Python has been cultivating for at least five hundred years, and its Inner Core is Thunder Attribute, which suits you and can aid in your Gathering Spirit."

Sun Zhe asked puzzledly, "What’s the connection between its Inner Core and my Gathering Spirit?"

"I’ll explain in detail later."

Yao Yuelong extended her hands backward, tying up her fragrant long hair with a band, her gaze becoming sharp, exuding an indescribable aura.

"You two stay here. I’ll go down to fetch its Inner Core."

With that, she withdrew the True Qi that maintained her flight, free-falling toward the river below.

At this moment.

The Thunderous Gator Python roaring in the river also noticed Yao Yuelong, and seeing this small human offering herself as a snack, it opened its bloody mouth to catch her.

Yao Yuelong didn’t disappoint, directly plunging into the bloody maw, not dodging, disappearing from view in that gaping mouth.

"Long’Er!"

Watching this scene from above, Sun Zhe’s heart leapt into his throat.

He truly hadn’t expected that the usually ethereal Dragon Taming Priest would be so aggressive in a fight.

The Little Dragon Girl snorted, saying, "Don’t worry. She won’t be in trouble. With her abilities, killing this gator python isn’t difficult."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt slightly relieved.

Meanwhile, Leng Yueshuang’s beautiful eyes trembled, staring intently at the river’s turbulent surface, filled with admiration.

Although her idol was Xia Shiyue, it didn’t stop her from admiring another person now.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The river erupted in giant waves, lightning scattering, the scene both spectacular and terrifying.

The Thunderous Gator Python occasionally surfaced to roar, twisting and rolling violently in the water, seemingly in great pain.

Evidently, Yao Yuelong was stirring things up inside its belly.

Large swathes of terrifying blood spread in the water, quickly staining the river downstream red.

Before long, the gator python ceased its struggle, half of its body laying motionless on the riverbank, seemingly lifeless.

Suddenly, a blade of light formed by True Qi broke through its belly from the inside, slicing open a large gash, and a graceful figure in a white dress flew out.

"Take this."

In the blink of an eye, Yao Yuelong flew in front of Sun Zhe, handing over a transparent orb.

"Is this its Inner Core?"

Taking it, Sun Zhe felt as though he were dreaming.

Such a terrifying Jiao Beast, and Yao Yuelong had gone down and dispatched it in no time, securing the Inner Core effortlessly.

Yao Yuelong nodded slightly, the bloodstains on her body dissipating instantly with a wave of True Qi, her tied-up hair loosening and returning to its previous immaculate state.

Sun Zhe asked, "Is there any use for its corpse?"

Yao Yuelong replied, "It can be fed to Yueqing."

At this point, the Little Dragon Girl emerged from the White Jade Ring, turning into a small silver dragon atop Sun Zhe’s head, angrily confronting Yao Yuelong, "Yao Yuelong, are you deliberately opposing me?!"

Yao Yuelong remained expressionless, earnestly asserting, "Ah Zhe is already cultivating True Qi Thunder Transformation; he’s more suited to the Thunder Attribute."

The Little Dragon Girl retorted, "Nonsense, he’s of the Pure Yang Holy Body, with naturally abundant Yang Fire, clearly most suited to the Fire Attribute. I’ve already prepared everything for him, why are you interfering?"

Yao Yuelong replied in an indisputable tone, "I appreciate your intentions, but this concerns my husband’s future, and I will decide."

The Little Dragon Girl protested vigorously, "He’s my junior, and we have a contract; I’m the one who makes decisions for him!"

"..."

Seeing these two sisters suddenly bicker, Sun Zhe was bewildered, asking, "Um, ladies, what exactly are you arguing about?"

"Shut up."

The sisters spoke in unison.

Sun Zhe was startled into submission, obediently closing his mouth, daring not to utter a sound.

These two goddesses, either of them was more than he could handle.

However, he could sense that both goddesses meant well for him, albeit with different approaches, which was why they were disputing.

...
