Chapter 803: Puppet Python

Latest Chapter!

Inside the Dragon Fang Cave, the light was dim. Li Luo walked along a winding path, and before long, the view before him grew spacious; it seemed to be a hollowed-out mountain belly with immense space within. As Li Luo entered, he saw that there were

stone steles, each about ten zhang tall, standing there.

These stone steles had a peculiar shape, their tops sharp, breaking through the ground from below, with countless light patterns flowing upon them, quite mysterious.

Li Luo looked at these stone steles, feeling they resembled giant dragon fangs piercing out from the earth, emitting an inexplicable aura of ferocity.

Li Luo cautiously approached one of the Dragon Fang Stone Steles, cast his gaze upon it, and saw light flowing on the stele, gradually forming numerous glowing characters that floated forth.

"Divine Power Sky-Breaking Finger, a Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Art. One can cultivate the Sky-Breaking Divine Power, unbreakable by anything; a single finger can sever mountains and rivers and split the void."

Li Luo stopped and glanced at it a few times, then lost interest and turned toward other Dragon Fang Stone Steles.

"Mystic Ice Dragon Fang Arrow, a Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Art, cultivated by combining Ice-Aspect and Dragon-Aspect powers. If aided by bow-type treasures, one arrow loosed will freeze ten thousand li." Li Luo stroked his chin, thinking that such Marquis Arts were the so-called Dragon Fang-type Marquis Arts. According to the information he had obtained, these Dragon Fang-type Marquis Arts leaned toward the extreme path of offense, making them extremely fierce in attack, which also

was a characteristic of the Dragon Fang Vein.

After all, what else is "Dragon Fang" but the offensive aspect of a giant dragon's body, so it was indeed fitting.

However, Li Luo still had no interest in this "Mystic Ice Dragon Fang Arrow." Although he was skilled in archery, he possessed no Ice-Aspect attribute himself. While one could cultivate it with the aid of certain ice-type rare items, such fussing was truly a waste of time.

So Li Luo continued onward, his gaze sweeping over one Dragon Fang Stone Stele after another.

"Divine Fire Palm, a Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Art. One can cultivate a point of divine fire in the palm; when the palm strikes, it will burn everything within ten thousand li."

"Step of Near and Far, a Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Art. This is a speed-type Marquis Art; one step covers ten thousand zhang, serving as a life-saving method."

"..."

Many Marquis Arts with different wondrous effects fell into Li Luo's sight, making his heart pound and his eyes gleam with heat. This was the foundation of a Heavenly King-level power; so many Marquis Arts were laid out here for you to choose from.

In Great Xia, when Li Luo went to the academy to select a Marquis Art, there were only a mere few available.

The gap between the two was evident at a glance.

As Li Luo gradually ventured deeper into this mountain belly, the scale of the Dragon Fang Stone Steles that appeared grew larger, because the Marquis Arts here had been elevated to the God-Expansion Level.

There were not many God-Expansion Level Dragon Fang Stone Steles, only nineteen, and Li Luo's goal this time lay among them.

Of course, if there truly was no suitable match, he would have to settle for a Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Art; along the way earlier, he had already chosen a backup.

"Star Dome Fang Light, a God-Expansion Level Marquis Art. Refine Dragon Fangs with starlight, continuously condensing and shrinking them until they become a wisp of starlight hidden within the eyes. When fighting others, one can shoot starlight from the eyes, wearing down all things."

"Ten Thousand Gold Dominating Body, a God-Expansion Level Marquis Art. One can absorb the qi of ten thousand metals to temper the flesh and blood. Once cultivated, the flesh and blood will contain the essence of ten thousand metals; every drop of vital blood can transform into ten thousand golden rays, peerlessly sharp."

"..." Li Luo carefully examined every God-Expansion Level Marquis Art here, then compared them with the Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Arts he had seen before, discovering that the two indeed differed in rank; the power and profundity between them both

had an obvious gap.

If these nineteen God-Expansion Level Marquis Arts were spread into Great Xia, the dog brains of those Marquis-level experts would surely be beaten out in a fight.

However, after Li Luo finished viewing the last God-Expansion Level Marquis Art, he disappointedly discovered that none within were extremely compatible with him. This was completely different from when he had obtained the "Black Dragon Nether Water Banner" back then.

"Could it be that I can only take a Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Art after all?" Li Luo hesitated a bit. Actually, he could accept a Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Art. Although his days were prosperous now, he was not so swollen-headed as to look down on Spirit-Connection Level Marquis Arts. After all, in Great Xia, many Marquis-level experts had never even

encountered a God-Expansion Level Marquis Art.

Yet now that he had finally entered a treasure mountain, if in the end he could only settle for less, it would be somewhat unwilling.

Just as Li Luo hesitated, suddenly a massive shadow covered down from above the cave, accompanied by a rustling sound.

This sudden change startled Li Luo. He hurriedly looked up and saw a giant black python coiled around a stalactite above, with dim light flowing in its vertical pupils.

Seeing this giant black python, Li Luo was not panicked, only momentarily stunned, because from this giant black python he felt no breath of life.

"It is the guardian puppet of the Dragon Fang Cave."

When Li Luo celebrated with Li Li Fengyi and the others yesterday, Li Li Fengyi had told him information about the Dragon Fang Cave, which included the so-called guardian puppet.

When facing such a guardian puppet, one should avoid contact as much as possible; under normal circumstances, it would not exhibit aggressive behavior.

So Li Luo shook his head and paid no more attention to this puppet python.

But just then, the puppet python actually slid down from above, coiled upon a Dragon Fang Stone Stele before Li Luo, and hissed its snake tongue at Li Luo.

Seeing this, Li Luo could only look at the puppet python in confusion: "Is there something wrong with this guardian puppet?"

"Proof."

While Li Luo's mind was bewildered, this puppet python before him actually spoke human words, though the voice was unusually hollow, likely some kind of preset mechanism.

"Proof?"

Li Luo's confusion grew even greater. What was going on? He hadn't heard Li Li Fengyi say that this guardian puppet would speak proactively.

"Proof." The puppet python continued to hiss its snake tongue, the hollow voice repeating.

Li Luo scratched his head, then took out his Green Nether Banner's Great Banner Leader Jin Yin and handed it to the puppet python, saying, "Is it this?"

The puppet python's massive body leaned forward, its vertical pupils staring at the Jin Yin in Li Luo's hand. After a few breaths, it shrank back, stared at Li Luo, and repeated: "Proof."

Li Luo grew somewhat impatient. What proof? Why had no one told him that the guardian puppet of the Dragon Fang Cave would have this scene?

So he stepped back two paces, intending to ignore it no longer.

But the puppet python slid down from the Dragon Fang Stone Stele and pursued him, its massive body casting a shadow that covered Li Luo's figure entirely.

"Proof." The repeated hollow voice.

Seeing that this puppet python was relentless, Li Luo was also extremely troubled. He planned to retreat first, then summon the gray-robed elder outside the Dragon Fang Cave to handle this problem.

However, just as he was about to leave, a sudden thought stirred in his heart.

Then he thought for a moment, took a black token from his spatial sphere, which was precisely that "Heavenly King Token."

"Is it this?" He hesitated a bit and handed the Heavenly King Token to the puppet python.

The puppet python hissed its snake tongue, coiled the Heavenly King Token up, then swallowed it into its snake mouth. Immediately, Li Luo saw strange light flowing within its body, and that hollow voice finally ceased.

"It really works?" Li Luo was extremely surprised; no one had ever told him about such a situation.

Could it be that only those holding the "Heavenly King Token" who entered the Dragon Fang Cave could trigger this guardian puppet's unusual reaction? But what use was that?

While Li Luo waited in confusion, the puppet python opened its snake mouth again. This time, its snake tongue spat out two items, which hovered before Li Luo.

One of them was the Heavenly King Token swallowed earlier. Li Luo casually put it away, then his gaze turned to the other object.

It was a mottled dragon's tooth about an inch in size, with mysterious light flowing over its surface, and faintly, as if countless characters were emerging upon it.

Li Luo's heart stirred, he stretched out his hand and grasped this mottled dragon's tooth, and at the very instant of contact, he felt a flood of immense information pouring into his mind.

And among them, the most eye-catching characters surfaced within his mind. "Congxiang Dragon Tooth Sword Array."
