Chapter 82: Meeting the Fool Again

After leaving the birthplace, Ye Feng walked alone into a gloomy jungle.

The trees surrounding the forest were tall and dense, their branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out almost all the sunlight.

The air was filled with the scent of damp, rotting leaves, and occasionally, the low growls of a Beast could be heard from afar.

His intuition told him that the whereabouts of a Beast Bracelet might be in here.

Ye Feng kept his nerves taut, his gaze scanning the surroundings vigilantly, but after searching for over half an hour, let alone a Beast, he hadn't even seen a bird.

Not only that, he hadn't seen a single person from other gangs either; it was as if they had evaporated into thin air!

However, his Bracelet kept vibrating, which meant there was definitely a Beast nearby wearing a Bracelet!

After half a day of searching with no results, Ye Feng leaned against a tree, contemplating his next strategy.

From the start of the competition until now, nearly an hour had passed.

Currently, including his own, he had three Bracelets in his possession.

Ye Feng considered this a decent result, but since he had promised to help Xie Junhao win this Territory Contention Battle, he shouldn't be satisfied with this.

Ye Feng pondered to himself, "It seems I should head toward the Summit."

Continuing to look for a needle in a haystack like this wasn't a solution; only by finding the ten Bracelets hidden at the Summit could he truly guarantee winning this competition.

No sooner said than done, Ye Feng immediately stood up, preparing to find a way to rush toward the Summit.

Suddenly, a faint "rustling" sound came from above his head.

Ye Feng looked up instinctively, only to see a massive python sliding down silently from the treetops, its scarlet tongue flickering rapidly in the air, and a foul, fishy stench rushing toward his face.

"Not good!"

Ye Feng felt a jolt in his heart, and his body reacted instantly.

He leaped backward violently, and almost at the same moment, the python's giant maw snapped open, its sharp fangs glinting with a cold light as it bit down fiercely at the spot where he had been standing.

"Bang!"

The python's head slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ye Feng had narrowly escaped the strike, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

He braced himself on the ground with his hands, watching the python vigilantly.

This python was a full ten meters long!

Furthermore, the beast's body width was at least fifty or sixty centimeters.

Ye Feng cursed the competition organizers under his breath; if not for his quick reaction speed, he would have definitely fallen right there!

He had thought the black bear was already outrageous enough, but he hadn't expected there to be something even more outrageous!

It was truly outrageous, like outrageousness opening the door for outrageousness—outrageous to the extreme!

After landing, the python's reaction speed was extremely fast; it twisted its body, and its massive tail swept across like a whip.

Ye Feng had no time to think; he tapped his feet and leaped up as lightly as a swallow, avoiding the python's tail.

However, the python's attack did not stop; its body coiled rapidly, and it lunged at Ye Feng again.

"This guy is really troublesome!"

Ye Feng thought to himself, dodging rapidly while mobilizing the Qi Strength within his body.

This python had thick skin and flesh; relying on ordinary attacks would be difficult to cause fatal damage to it, so he had to find an opportunity for a one-hit kill.

Ye Feng's dodging caused the python's attacks to become increasingly fierce.

It hissed, its blood-red maw following Ye Feng closely without letting up.

Fine beads of sweat had already seeped onto Ye Feng's forehead, and his breathing had become rapid.

Just then, the python suddenly leaped up, lunging fiercely toward Ye Feng's head.

"Now is the time!"

A cold light flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, and the Qi Strength in his body instantly condensed at his fingertips.

He sidestepped violently, avoiding the python's fangs, and then pointed a finger, striking directly at the python's vital spot.

"One Yang Finger!"

Ye Feng let out a low shout, and the pale golden light of his Qi Strength pierced into the python's body like a sharp sword.

"Hiss..."

The python let out a painful hiss, its body twisting violently!

But soon, it adjusted, let out a roar, and lunged at Ye Feng once more.

This attack was even more fierce than the last!

"It didn't die from that? It really is thick-skinned!"

Ye Feng flashed his figure, quickly dodging the python's attack!

"Since it won't die, then have another!"

Ye Feng snorted coldly, condensing Qi Strength at his fingertips once again.

This time, Ye Feng directly launched the One Yang Finger twice in succession!

Moreover, the power was even more potent than before!

The golden light whistled through the air, striking the python's vital spot one after another.

The python shrieked in agony, still wanting to lunge at Ye Feng.

But it had run out of strength; when it was still half a meter away from Ye Feng, it went completely limp.

Ye Feng let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt a lingering fear in his heart.

He walked to the python's carcass, looked down, and discovered a black Bracelet around the python's neck, with the character "Python" engraved on it.

"Another one, this really isn't easy!"

Ye Feng sighed in a low voice, then took off the Bracelet and examined it carefully.

Stepping on the python's corpse, Ye Feng recalled the experience just now, his heart still feeling a wave of terror.

If not for his quick reaction speed, coupled with the One Yang Finger given to him by that mysterious old man, he would likely have already become a meal in this python's belly.

"This place is truly fraught with crises."

"It seems I must be more careful!"

Ye Feng said in a low voice, then looked up at his surroundings, secretly becoming vigilant in his heart.

On this mountain, not only are there Beasts hidden, but also opponents from other gangs; the next three-plus hours will likely be even more difficult!

Kicking the python's body once more to confirm it had stopped breathing, Ye Feng finally felt at ease to leave.

There is not much time remaining now; although he already has four Bracelets, he still feels uncertain.

In this competition, just the Dan Energy experts alone number more than five, and the Bracelets in their hands are certainly no fewer than his own!

After walking for a good ten-plus minutes, Ye Feng finally saw sunlight again; the exit was already right before his eyes!

Suddenly, a black figure blocked the sunlight at the exit; Ye Feng slowed his pace, his heart gradually becoming vigilant.

Throughout the competition so far, apart from that slow-witted fool from the Green Dragon Gang, he had not yet encountered anyone from other gangs.

"Which gang could this person be from?"

Looking at that figure, Ye Feng pondered secretly in his heart.

Immediately following, a familiar feeling actually surged into his heart.

Suddenly, a voice came from the exit: "Kid, long time no see!"

Seeing this, the black figure slowly turned around, looking at Ye Feng with a beaming smile.

Ye Feng frowned; due to the sunlight, he did not see clearly who the person was.

But listening to the person's tone, it seemed they knew him!

"Who could it be?"

Ye Feng stopped his pace, carefully looking at that figure.

The sunlight slowly shifted away, and Ye Feng finally saw the person's face clearly.

Isn't this person the very same slow-witted fool he encountered at the start!
