Chapter 1066 1060: Black Flood Python
Dean Xinghai turned and looked at the giant Flying Leopard, and asked:
"Do you have any other instructions?"
"You're curious about why I asked you to retreat the restricted area by one hundred kilometers, aren't you?"
Xinghai nodded,
"I am indeed curious, but if you don't say why, I will still comply. After all, you saved my life, and I will repay this favor."
The giant Flying Leopard looked at Xinghai, and with a whoosh, transformed into an elderly man with a white beard.
Xinghai was shocked and quickly bowed, saying:
"Greetings, senior."
The elderly man with the white beard nodded and said indifferently:
"Your Flying Leopard Academy holds a hunting competition every year, killing thousands of various demon beasts each time. Over time, this has greatly damaged the normal breeding of demon beasts in the Flying Leopard Mountain Range.
In this world, humans and beasts are not born enemies. We are interconnected, and human evolution requires the help of demon beasts. We should coexist in harmony.
I don't oppose your normal hunting activities, but hope you will show mercy and retreat by a hundred kilometers to give demon beasts more space to survive.
Otherwise, when the day comes that you've killed all the demon beasts, and you need to obtain evolutionary genes and energy from them, you will find there's nowhere to find suitable demon beasts.
That would be a loss for you as well, wouldn't it?"
Dean Xinghai nodded,
"You can rest assured, senior Flying Leopard. From today onwards, the restricted area of Flying Leopard Mountain Range will be extended by a hundred kilometers, and we will only operate within a 200-kilometer range."
"Good, thank you!"
After saying this, the elderly man with the white beard slightly bowed to Xinghai, then flashed into the forest and disappeared.
After returning, Dean Xinghai announced that the hunting restricted area was changed from 300 kilometers to 200 kilometers, and shared his experience with several major heads of the academy.
Initially, everyone laughed it off as they found Dean Xinghai's story somewhat absurd. However, under his steadfastness, they agreed to retract the hunting restricted area by one hundred kilometers.
After Fan Chen finished telling the story, he scanned everyone and said:
"That's how it happened. Now, we have a problem. Should we continue to venture deeper into Flying Leopard Mountain Range?
If we continue, everyone must be prepared for the possible danger of encountering Emperor Level demon beasts. According to recorded data about the Flying Leopard Mountain Range, and personal experiences of the academy tutors, some Emperor Level demon beasts are known to reside inside.
If we encounter these superpowers, our danger will be immense."
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Xiao He looked at Yang Xiao and said:
"Yang Xiao, you are our team's leader. Why don't you decide?"
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:
"Let's not go too deep. I checked the map, let's search for demon beasts within the approximate range of 250 kilometers. Considering our current situation, we've already hunted many demon beasts over this period, and are likely to secure the first position."
Xiao He, Xiao Gang, Fan Chen, and others also found it feasible.
After lunch, everyone took a rest before continuing to search for demon beasts.
...
Several days later, Yang Xiao and the others had hunted many Empire Level Advanced realm demon beasts.
"Yang Xiao, there's only about five days left until the end of the hunting competition. Should we start heading back?"
"Hmm, let's go back then."
Yang Xiao and the others started their journey back, and while passing through a canyon, they heard deafening roars coming from within.
"What's happening?"
"There should be demon beasts fighting. Let's go have a look."
Yang Xiao and the others followed the sound, quietly running to a nearby canyon and crouching behind a huge boulder near the entrance, peering inside.
Everyone was startled,
In the canyon, a giant Black Flood Python about a hundred meters long, with black scales all over its body, was fiercely fighting against a man. The scene was extremely intense, with trees and rocks within several thousand meters inside the canyon completely shattered.
The Flood Python twisted its massive body, its thick tail akin to a deft whip, swinging fiercely at the young man.
However, the young man remained calm, wielding a Longsword and engaging the Flood Python in a fierce battle.
Fan Chen took just one glance before gasping in shock, speaking in a trembling voice:
"Damn, isn't that the top-ranked Liang Bao on the Combat Power leaderboard? This guy also broke through the boundary and encountered such a ferocious demon beast."
Judging from the scene of the fight, Liang Bao seemed to be at a disadvantage against the Flood Python, forced to retreat under its powerful killing aura.
Yang Xiao was taken aback by Fan Chen's words and asked:
"Do you recognize this person?"
"Certainly, I am very familiar with him. He is Liang Bao, ranking first in the Flying Leopard Academy's Combat Power leaderboard."
"Roar—"
Just as the hundred-meter long Black Flood Python roared, its massive body wildly struck at Liang Bao. Liang Bao dodged swiftly, the Black Flood Python's attack landed on a small mountain behind him.
"Boom" went a loud noise, the ground trembled,
The small mountain was partially shattered.
"Damn, the combat power of this Black Flood Python is formidable."
"It's at least Empire Level Peak, possessing natural divine power of demon beasts. I'm afraid Liang Bao might not be able to achieve victory."
The Black Flood Python shattered half the mountain, rock fragments flew everywhere, and Liang Bao's evading figure was nearly buried by the flying stones.
Nonetheless, Liang Bao did not retreat, as he let out a shrill cry in mid-air,
"Boom!"
In the sky, a massive twin-headed Wind Eagle, with wings spread over a hundred meters wide, emerged.
This was Liang Bao's Beast Soul.
Fan Chen exclaimed out loud while watching on the sidelines,
"Damn, Liang Bao actually has a twin-headed Wind Eagle as a Beast Soul, simply monstrous."
Yang Xiao had read many books in the library, generally, only females possess bird Beast Soul, but there are very few males with special bird Beast Souls.
Furthermore, male-owned bird Beast Souls differ from female ones, being more focused on fierce combat.
The hundred-meter-long Black Flood Python seemed wary upon seeing Liang Bao's Beast Soul, it raised its head, sticking its tongue out towards the sky.
"Hiss—"
The twin-headed Wind Eagle let out a sharp roar, flapping its giant wings, two hundred-meter tall tornadoes suddenly formed, sweeping over the Black Flood Python like a mountain torrent.
Several dozen tonnes of huge boulders were directly lifted by the tornado, crushed into pieces.
"Roar—"
The Black Flood Python let out a miserable roar, enveloped in a layer of black light, its massive body rising into the air, lashing out fiercely, its enormous tail sweeping towards Liang Bao's two tornadoes.
"Damn, this Black Flood Python is incredible, daring to confront Liang Bao's tornado head-on. You know, Liang Bao's two tornadoes can instantly merge into a more powerful one,"
Before Fan Chen could finish, Yang Xiao had already seen two hundred-meter-high tornadoes in mid-air instantly colliding, merging into a more powerful one.
"Boom boom boom!"
The tornado let out a thunderous roar, crushing everything in its path including giant stones, trees, and vegetation on the ground.
"Boom!"
"Roar—"
The massive body of the Black Flood Python, engulfed in violent killing aura, swept towards the tornado, attempting to sever Liang Bao's tornado.
However, the Black Flood Python didn't anticipate that the two tornadoes would instantly merge into an even more powerful one, surpassing its tolerance.
The Black Flood Python sensed something wrong, its figure flickering as it attempted to escape.
"Hiss—"
In mid-air, the twin-headed Wind Eagle let out a shriek, the terrifying tornado swept towards the Black Flood Python, engulfing its entire body within.
The Black Flood Python ferociously counterattacked, its huge body wildly swinging, stirring up gusts of violent killing aura storms.
However, Liang Bao's Beast Soul, the twin-headed Wind Eagle, kept flapping its huge wings, supplying energy to the tornado.
A few dozen seconds later, the twin-headed Wind Eagle let out a roar,
Just then a "boom" sound was heard.
In mid-air, the tornado turned into a massive blood mist cloud, scattering in all directions.
The Black Flood Python had been ripped into pieces.
A Black Crystal Stone fell from the sky, the twin-headed Wind Eagle swooped down, catching it with its mouth, and then landed where Yang Xiao and the others were hiding.
Liang Bao reverted to his human form, coldly calling out to Yang Xiao and the others hiding behind the rock:
"Come out, stop hiding. I've seen you all along."
