Chapter 566 - Golden Thread Kingsnake

Chapter 566 - Golden Thread Kingsnake

The Sun Devouring Wolf was a fire-element beast, but it was also the predator of all beings that used the fire element.

After Xiaolang emerged from the Primordial Realm, he stood next to Long Chen and hung his head as he gazed at the fiery men. Black flames flickered in his eyes.

If all of the fiery men attacked Xiaolang at the same time, even Xiaolang would suffer, so Long Chen’s current task was to cover for him.

He activated the Demon Illusion, and his clone separated from his body.

Long Chen and his clone stood to the left and right of Xiaolang.

Xiaolang gave Long Chen a look to show that he was ready, then he leaped towards the fiery men, which had just recovered from Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array. Xiaolang arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye, and Long Chen followed him closely.

“Let’s begin ...” When the closest fiery man threw a punch at him, Xiaolang opened his mouth, and a black whirlpool appeared in his throat!

Whoosh!

The overwhelming sucking force pulled the fiery man in. It tried to retreat when it realized what was happening, but it was too late. It struggled to take even one step and was quickly mashed into a fireball before Xiaolang swallowed it whole.

Xiaolang closed his mouth. Two red flames flickered in his eyes, then they disappeared.

During that time, Long Chen chopped two fiery men into halves!

“It worked! That’s good ...” Long Chen sighed in relief while Xiaolang looked excited. This showed that swallowing the fiery men was beneficial to him. Perhaps he could really become a King-tier demonic beast soon.

If he reached the King-tier, he would be able to take human form. Although his main body was still one of a beast, getting a chance to live like a human was the greatest surprise to Xiaolang.

Long Chen was even more careful because of this.

While Xiaolang was swallowing a fiery man, Long Chen worked hard to chop up the other fiery men. Xiaolang swallowed them increasingly fast as he became more familiar with the process. The number of fiery men slowly dwindled, and they became less and less of a threat to Long Chen.

Without the assistance of a special beast like Xiaolang, Long Chen would never have been able to defeat all ten fiery men. Even Long Yue and the others probably had to defeat them slowly. Every kill was time-consuming!

Finally, Xiaolang killed off the last man.

Xiaolang’s aura had strengthened greatly.

“What do you think? Is it enough for you to break through to the King-tier?” Long Chen asked with concern.

When he looked closer, he realized that it was not a sea of fire, but millions of small, fiery snakes. Every snake was just half a meter long, but they were not real snakes. Just like the fiery men from before, they were made of flames, but the snakes moved exactly like real snakes.

Long Chen spotted a small, golden snake made of real flesh and blood at the center of the millions of fiery snakes. It was almost as small as the fiery snakes, but Long Chen sensed a terrifying aura coming from its body.

“Be careful. That demonic beast was very famous in the Middle Ages. It’s a Golden Thread Kingsnake, a Category Two King-tier beast, but it can kill opponents far beyond its level,” the knowledgeable Little Cat explained.

Long Chen eyed the golden snake cautiously. In his mind, the higher level a beast was, the larger it was supposed to be. It was unbelievable to him that this tiny snake was a Category Two King-tier.

Category Two King-tier?

Long Chen’s scalp went numb.

“What’s so special about it?” Long Chen asked tiredly.

“Look at the other snakes. They are made of normal, condensed flames. Every fiery snake is a clone of it. Normal people can’t find the snake’s true body in the sea of fiery snakes. Its strength is in attacks and being able to hide easily so no one can touch it. However, it does not have strong defenses, and you stand a chance to survive because of this flaw. So, use your Soul Swallowing Gaze well,” Little Cat said nonchalantly, as if this was none of his business.

Long Chen’s brows were deeply furrowed.

Li Xuanji was the one who had taught him the Soul Swallowing Gaze. After reaching its third stage, which was Sight, he never progressed further. However, Sight had proven to be very useful recently. Everything disappeared from his sight; only the soul of the Golden Thread Kingsnake remained.

Long Chen was able to pinpoint its location due to its soul.

This was his only chance to win and live.

“You don’t need to be scared. You’re extraordinarily lucky. A First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator would have died on the first level, but you had Xiaolang. In this level, Second Earthly Martial Stage cultivators might exhaust themselves to death, but you stand a chance because of your Soul Swallowing Gaze,” Little Cat said.

Even Long Chen felt like he was indeed quite lucky.

He looked up at the Golden Thread Kingsnake, and the millions of fiery snakes also looked at him. Then the Golden Thread Kingsnake hissed once and fell to the ground. The rest of the fiery snakes followed suit, as if the kingsnake had a gravitational pull.

Loud hisses sounded across the cave.

Long Chen’s hair stood on end.

The countless fiery snakes instantly drowned out the kingsnake, and there was a sudden burst of firelight. Then a gigantic fiery snake as large as the King-tier Blood Ocean Viper appeared before Long Chen!

When he took a closer look, the gigantic snake was made of countless tiny snakes! The whole colony moved as one like they had gained sentience, their tongues flickering out of their mouths!
