Chapter 213

Amethyst Water Chestnut Python

Mu Yu’s attempt to steady his feet while the world was spinning was in vain. Once he recollected himself, he found himself sitting atop a pile of shattered rocks. A wet stench teased his nose. It wasn’t the most ideal landing but better than disembarking in a fiend beast’s den.

Out came Xiaoshuai’s head from Mu Yu’s shirt. He griped, “Man, I hate that spinning feeling.”

“Is this Second Heaven? Damn, the spiritual qi is something else. I can feel my spiritual energy circulating faster.”New n0vel chapters are published on

Mu Yu got to his feet and surveyed the surroundings. They were at a desert. Birds soared above a blue ocean way off in the distance. Fiend beasts jumped out of the water and back in. Being dumped in a desert was better than being dumped in the ocean. Behind him was a marsh hidden in a marsh.

Mu Yu brought out his map and located himself in a remote location. He had to cross the marsh to find the nine qi soul purifying flower. The good news was the mist wasn’t poisonous. The bad news was the marsh was painfully deep. He couldn’t fly too high over the marsh because level three and four flying fiend beasts ruled the sky. Thus, he opted to fly low enough to stay out of their sight.

Mu Yu ran his hand across a tree to enter a tree. He could enter them, but he noticed that, one, there was a force trying to kick him out. Two, he moved considerably slower than he did compared to at Third Heaven. In the end, he flew instead.

Xiaoshuai sniffed around and remarked, “I can’t shake off the feeling this place feels familiar.”

“You didn’t come from Second Heaven, did you?”

“I doubt it. I can smell a familiar scent, but I can’t tell you exactly where I smelt it before.”

“What smell is that?”

“Fried soybeans.”

“Why did I expect something else?”

They saw plenty of animals also found at Third Heaven. They turned and crossed a thicket of thorns to come across a five-metre-tall fiend beast’s skeleton.

“How in the world did a rank four five element fox grow so humungous?” Mu Yu lamented.

Mu Yu resumed his journey and soon came across the skeleton of a mystic refined phantasmal tiger. He travelled vertically and caught a snow gale sparrow, a Level One fiend beast. They were the size of a human fist at Third Heaven, yet they were as large as an eagle at Second Heaven. Mu Yu guessed the larger sizes were the consequence of more potent.

Hiss! Mu Yu stepped off on an angle when his intuition sent him alert. A big snake tail whipped the spot he stepped away from. It was an amethyst water chestnut python. Its colour inspired its name. Its scales were in reverse and sharp enough to be offensive weapons. It was a Level Four fiend beast Mu Yu once saw at Ku Mu Valley, albeit the latter being smaller.

Mu Yu crawled out of the empyrean palm and dove into the adjacent tree. The python whacked the tree apart, forcing Mu Yu out. Mu Yu immediately took flight.

“I forgot to mention it has wings. Yeah, it can fly.”

“Tell me something I don’t know.”

Mu Yu ducked his head, yet the tail brushed his hairline. The python spread its thin wings and glided from tree canopy to tree canopy to launch itself, so it wasn’t flying, strictly speaking.

Drooling, Xiaoshuai suggested, “Let’s see, I don’t think I’ve eaten one of them before. Snake meat is sort of greasy, so I’m not a fan. Their gallbladder is pretty healthy if you brew wine out of it. Yeah, I want to try its gallbladder.”

“I have a suggestion. Let it eat you, and you can rip its gallbladder out. What do you think?”

Mu Yu kicked the incoming tail, but its forced knocked him into shrubs. Mu Yu was going to take cover there, but it pursued him there, too.

“What if it digests me?”

“Don’t worry. Your skin is plenty tough. I heard handsome guys are indestructible. Come on, don’t make me look down on you.”

Mu Yu came across more and more fiend beasts as he fled. Whether lucky or unlucky, they stayed away once they saw the python on his tail.

“I agree about the handsome part, but its sticky insides are revolting.”

Mu Yu caught on to Xiaoshuai implying he’d be fine. Therefore, he gave Xiaoshuai an explosion pill and hurled Xiaoshuai at the python without a heads up.

“I’m counting on you.”

“The pill will blow me up, as well!”

The python opened wide and swallowed Xiaoshuai whole.

“Rip out its gallbladder. If you can’t rip it out, set off the explosion from inside. I’ll give you an extra drumstick tonight if you complete your mission!” shouted Mu Yu, landing again and dodging another incoming strike.

“Make that two!” Xiaoshuai hollered, voice muffled because he was inside the python.
