Chapter 538: Duel with the Demon King-level Black Dragon (Second update, requesting everything)

In the sky, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen rode together on the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird, flying toward the direction of the Silent Forest.

Luo City is less than a hundred miles away from the Silent Forest; at the speed of the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird, it is only a journey of ten-odd minutes.

The Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird was fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it flew to the swamp where the Hei Long Harikuchi once lived.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen projected their Mental Power, but unfortunately, the Hei Long Harikuchi had not returned to its "old home."

Roar~

Just as the two were preparing to leave, a yellowish-brown giant python rushed out from the swamp; its body length was nearly thirty meters, its waist as thick as a water vat, and it lunged straight toward the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird in the low altitude.

Being able to occupy the "old home" of the Hei Long Harikuchi, it naturally would not be an ordinary wild Spirit Beast; this yellowish-brown giant python had already reached the Lord-level realm, enough to defeat the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird.

"Swamp Giant Python!"

Seeing the appearance of this giant python, Li Zhangsheng recognized it instantly; this is a Top-tier Exotic Beast not inferior to a black dragon.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Swamp Giant Python (Mature Stage, Top-tier Exotic Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lord 4th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Medium Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Ba Serpent (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood

The Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird made an emergency evasion, but in an environment full of obstacles like the forest, its agility was affected, and it looked as if it was about to be bitten by the Swamp Giant Python.

Once bitten by the Swamp Giant Python, it would not take long to Devour the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird.

At the critical moment, Li Zhangsheng released the Taiyin Token, and the Moonlight Screen completely wrapped the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird.

The Swamp Giant Python bit fiercely onto the Moonlight Screen, but it could only stir up wisps of ripples, with absolutely no sign of breaking.

Ning Bizhen was sitting in front of Li Zhangsheng, but she never made a move; she believed that Li Zhangsheng could easily finish off this Swamp Giant Python.

"Kailan, I leave it to you!"

At the first moment, Li Zhangsheng summoned Kailan.

Because it could not break through the Moonlight Screen, the Swamp Giant Python was somewhat hesitant, but when it saw Kailan fly out of the Moonlight Screen, it immediately opened its big mouth and inhaled toward Kailan.

The next moment, a powerful gravitational force acted on Kailan, forcing Kailan to fly toward the Swamp Giant Python's open mouth.

In an instant, Kailan condensed a zhang-long Leaf Blade, and just as she was about to rush into the Swamp Giant Python's mouth, the three pairs of cicada-wing-thin wings on her back flapped frantically, instantly halting her forward momentum.

Before the Swamp Giant Python could react, Kailan slashed her blade into the Swamp Giant Python's open mouth.

Pfft~

Under this strike, first the Swamp Giant Python's tongue was severed directly, and then the remaining force of the Leaf Blade landed on the Swamp Giant Python's lower jaw.

Like the vast majority of Demon Pets, the Swamp Giant Python's surface defense is very strong, but its interior is very fragile.

Ssh~

Under this strike, the Swamp Giant Python's lower jaw was almost completely severed, and a large amount of scarlet blood gushed out.

The Swamp Giant Python let out a miserable hiss, its huge snake body straightened, and it fell heavily to the ground, appearing to be enduring unbearable pain.

With just one strike, the Swamp Giant Python was not only severely wounded but also directly fell into a near-death state.

Besides the attribute restraint and hitting a vital point, it was also related to the abilities of both sides; both being Lord-level, Kailan's strength far exceeded that of the Swamp Giant Python.

After completing this strike, Kailan looked back at Li Zhangsheng.

The Swamp Giant Python opened its eyes powerlessly but could not crawl up no matter what; it could only Juan Suo on the ground in grievance, blood continuously flowing from the penetrating wound on its lower jaw, becoming increasingly weak.

"Kill it!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head and issued the order.

The Swamp Giant Python seemed decent, but its appeal to a Sixth-Rank Expert was not very high; after all, Sixth-Rank Experts do not lack high-quality Demon Pets, so naturally, they do not think much of this Swamp Giant Python that no longer has much potential to be tapped.

Although a living Swamp Giant Python is far more valuable than a dead one, for Li Zhangsheng, the value of extracting the Ba Serpent Spirit Essence is higher; the only drawback is that it is not easy to sell.

Kailan acted again, this time directly cutting off the Swamp Giant Python's head.

Li Zhangsheng put away the corpse of the Swamp Giant Python; to him, this was just an interlude, as his main goal this time was naturally the corpse of the ancestral black dragon.

Compared to the corpse of the ancestral black dragon, the Swamp Giant Python is not even on the same level.

"Kailan, communicate with the nearby plants and find the trail of the Hei Long Harikuchi!"

"Leave it to me!"

Kailan patted her chest, which was just beginning to show its prominence, slightly closed her eyes, and a green ring of light spread rapidly toward the surroundings.

Within a few breaths, Kailan established a connection with a dozen large trees at the edge of the swamp.

As Kailan's strength improved, her ability to communicate with plants also rose accordingly.

Soon, Kailan reopened her dark green eyes.

"During this period, the Hei Long Harikuchi has appeared in this vicinity twice, and each time it came from the northwest direction."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

The two rode the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird again and moved rapidly toward the northwest; if their guess was correct, the new territory of the Hei Long Harikuchi was likely there.

They did encounter some wild Spirit Beasts along the way, but after sensing Kailan's Lord-level aura, most of the wild Spirit Beasts chose to retreat, and the rest were all easily dealt with by Kailan.

Along the way, they did not encounter any Demon King-level Spirit Beasts.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng pointed ahead and said, "Let's shift our direction slightly; if I remember correctly, that should be the territory of the Golden Lion Zeryanas."

A few months ago, when Li Zhangsheng came with Xu Wenhua, he saw the Golden Lion Zeryanas more than ten miles ahead.

Although Li Zhangsheng considered himself capable of wrestling with the Golden Lion, especially with Ning Bizhen by his side, Demon King-level Spirit Beasts are all cunning creatures, so how could they be easily finished off?

Besides this, the Silent Forest is home to dozens of Demon King-level Spirit Beasts, among which there is no lack of Demon Saint-level or even Demon Emperor-level Spirit Beasts.

To protect the Silent Forest from being occupied by humans, they established a relatively loose offensive and defensive alliance; as long as there is a large-scale human invasion or a human Stronger wants to kill a Demon King, they will be met with their joint resistance.

Li Changsheng and the Golden Lion Zeryanas have no grudges against each other, so naturally, he has no intention of taking the initiative to offend it.

If one really wants to kill a Demon King, then the target should be placed on Hei Long Harikuchi; after all, they likely only have one chance to kill a Demon King, and they must leave the Silent Forest as soon as possible after the kill, otherwise, it will inevitably be very dangerous.

Under Li Changsheng's instruction, the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird changed its direction slightly and continued to fly toward the depths of the Silent Forest.

On a hill more than ten miles away, the mountain-sized Golden Lion Zeryanas was originally sleeping soundly, but suddenly, it opened its eyes and looked in the direction Li Changsheng and his companion were traveling.

As a Demon King, Zeryanas's senses are very keen, and its eyes were filled with solemnity when it sensed Ning Bizhen's aura.

Zeryanas has some understanding of Monster Tamers; as a Pseudo-King, they must possess a Demon Beast, which is enough to pose a huge threat to its life.

Generally speaking, an ordinary Demon King absolutely cannot defeat a Pseudo-King, even if the opponent only has one Demon Beast.

There is no way around it; for one, Monster Tamers are inherently good at ganging up on opponents. In addition to Demon Beasts, Pseudo-Kings also have many Lord-level Spirit Beasts and can apply Secret Techniques, so ordinary Demon Kings are simply no match.

However, Demon Kings have impressive strength, and if they cannot win, they can still flee, especially since this is the Silent Forest; as long as they hold out for a period of time, they can receive support.

Zeryanas did not act rashly; it watched for a while, and after confirming that Li Changsheng and his companion were not bypassing its territory to leave, it lay back down on the ground.

Zeryanas has no interest in understanding the purpose of Li Changsheng and his companion, as long as they do not offend it.

However, if they are going to attack other Demon Kings, according to the rules of the Silent Forest, Zeryanas would inevitably be unable to stand by and watch; it still understands the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

A quarter of an hour later, the Rongduan Mountain Range appeared in their sight, which is the territory of the Red Dragon King Yanasansi.

Last time, also in the Rongduan Mountain Range, the Red Dragon King Yanasansi had confronted Hei Long Harikuchi, and ultimately, due to Xu Wenhua, these two Demon King dragons chose to join forces.

"We are almost at our destination; I didn't expect Harikuchi to be neighbors with the Red Dragon King!"

Kailan tried to communicate with the plants again, and this time a different result appeared: the territory of Hei Long Harikuchi is only a few dozen miles away from the Rongduan Mountain Range in total.

Without spending too much time, Li Changsheng saw a large valley from afar.

Due to the low-lying terrain, many rivers gathered here, and over time, it formed a lake.

But ever since this place became the territory of Hei Long Harikuchi, the once crystal-clear lake turned into a murky and viscous Swamp.

Soon, the Bright Heavy-Pupil Bird flew to the edge of the Swamp.

Splash—

Suddenly, countless murky mud and water splashed in all directions, and a huge black shadow emerged from the Swamp.

This was a nine-headed snake with nine heads, and it was currently staring at the two uninvited guests with nine pairs of cold snake eyes.

After becoming a Demon King, Hei Long Harikuchi naturally subdued many servants; in addition to some Sub-Dragons with dragon Bloodlines, there were also some Spirit Beasts suitable for living in the Swamp, which naturally included the nine-headed snake.

Roar—

Accompanied by the sharp and piercing hissing of the nine-headed snake, one figure after another emerged from the Swamp, and many more of Hei Long Harikuchi's kin gathered from all directions.

Suddenly, a figure far larger than the nine-headed snake emerged from the center of the Swamp; those dragon wings that blotted out the sky, the skull-like head, the pitch-black Dragon Scale, and a body length of more than fifty meters—who else could it be but Hei Long Harikuchi?
