Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Furious Demon
Translator: 549690339
How could it be the Haoran’s righteousness!?
The giant serpent was taken aback and bewildered; it didn’t comprehend why such a thing would appear deep in the mountains, and why it would appear in front of it?
The surging demonic power that erupted from its inner Dan began to subside under the suppression of this unfathomable Haoran’s righteousness. Its snake body also started to become limp and weak, with strands of indistinguishable dark qi steaming from its body.
The giant serpent which was comfortably coiled around the crown of an ancient tree, started to slide off due to its weakening state. Accompanied by a slight tremor of Lake Heart Island, the cold-scaled white snake fell from the tree, wrapped around the trunk and crashed onto the island.
The lake was stirred up, causing waves a few meters high. The pack of wolves that was originally charging madly toward it, was shocked into stillness by this terrifying commotion. Only the Wolf King, who seemed to be carrying something on its back, moved forward alone.
“That’s a huge snake!”
This was the shared sentiment of Feng Qing’an and Black Mountain. Even from a hundred feet across the lake, they could see the giant snake that had fallen from the tree canopy. Its coiling body was so massive that it suffocated onlookers.
Awoo-contemporary romance
At this moment, Black Mountain let out a somewhat excited howl. Its gaze shifted from the water vat-sized giant snake to the ancient tree from which the snake had fallen.
Under the moonlight, a red light flickered in the dense branches and leaves,
and a particularly tempting fragrance was mixed amidst the mountain breeze that wafted over the lake.
“Spiritual object!”
Even from far away, unable to judge directly, Feng Qing’an could ascertain by looking at the limp snake beneath the tree; there was Black Mountain’s fortune.
That’s something that would allow it to break through to a war general in a short time, or even possess stronger potential.
Gazing at the fruit growing on the spirit tree, compared with the towering tree canopy, they seemed sparse. But for Black Mountain, the fruit there would indeed be more than enough.
However, the biggest problem now was – how to get there?
The spirit tree grew on Lake Heart Island, surrounded by the lake. Although Black Mountain could swim, it bore no use as the book it carried would be ruined if it got wet.
Despite the fact that the giant snake could only lie flat on Lake Heart Island, unable to lift its head… Huh!?
Both Black Mountain and Feng Qing’an were somewhat shocked to see the giant snake on Lake Heart Island lifting its head. Its eyes were sharp as a sword, firmly fixed on Black Mountain.
The giant snake could still move!
This was their first time seeing a monster that could still move under the suppression of the Haoran’s righteousness. Although it could barely lift its head, it made Feng Qing’an realize that even the Haoran’s righteousness has its limit against monsters.
The righteousness wouldn’t destroy every monster. As the powers of the monster increased, the effect of Haoran’s righteousness may weaken and even be suppressed in return.
Of course, the giant snake in front of them was clearly under the suppression of Haoran’s righteousness. Just because it could move didn’t mean it could fight back. It seemed hard enough for it just to lift its head, and that was considering the distance of a hundred feet.
“Black Mountain, find a way to get close and get onto the island!” Feng Qing’an urged.
Although the snake’s appearance and killing intent were frightening, the Haoran’s righteousness was suppressing it, so there was nothing to fear. The bag on Black Mountain’s back held only seven books, whereas Feng Qing’an’s room was filled with a full bookshelf.
“Awoo-”
Black Mountain let out a howl, calling the wolfpack who was scared by the fall of the giant snake.
The wolves, trembling in fear of the giant snake at Lake Heart Island, couldn’t resist the orders of the Wolf King. They instinctively shivered and trembled as they came to its side.
Seeing his wolf pack so timid, Black Mountain growled angrily. But it was of no help; Black Mountain itself looked barely enough for a single gulp from the snake. How could it inspire their wolf pack to abandon their fear? This was pure intimidation caused by the difference in size.
However, these wolves, although lacking in courage, were still obedient to Black Mountain’s command. Black Mountain circled the lake – formed by streams – with the pack, looking for a way to reach Lake Heart Island without getting its back wet.
Unfortunately, despite circling the lake several times, Black Mountain found no path to the island. It was so anxious that it couldn’t help but forcibly dig its claws into the ground.
Black Mountain even tried to make these wolves swim across and pick the fruit from the spirit tree for him. However, even though these wolves were loyal to Black Mountain, they didn’t have the courage to get close to the giant snake.
Especially when the serpent’s icy eyes were always fixed on them. Frankly, the fact that the wolves could still follow Black Mountain was commendable.
After all, they couldn’t see the Haoran’s righteousness shrouding the lake, making it difficult for the giant snake to lift its head. In their view, the Wolf King was taunting the snake dangerously.
However, given sufficient time, difficulties could be overcome. When the moon was at its highest point, Black Mountain and the pack had pulled over a tree bark about a meter long, five feet wide and slightly curved.
Under the cold and ruthless gaze of the giant snake, Black Mountain threw the tree bark into the water. Then it tentatively stood on it, ordered the wolf pack into the water. The wolves huddled around the bark, blocking the waves and the wind, moving towards Lake Heart Island.
The wolves swam!
The giant snake watching this scene grew colder. But as the Wolf King that was carrying the sage’s book of the Confucian School set foot on the island, its previously held high head finally dropped. The giant snake could only lie on the ground, almost devoid of any strength.
After a tremendous effort and a thrilling process, Black Mountain finally set foot on Lake Heart Island. Instead of rushing to pick the fruit from the spirit tree, it ran to the giant snake and observed it with curiosity.
This was the most powerful monster it had ever seen, but how powerful exactly, Black Mountain didn’t know, because the creature was just too large. It made the other monsters Black Mountain had seen prior seem insignificant in comparison.
Although Black Mountain wasn’t sure about the strength of this giant snake, Feng Qing’an did know.
“Identify! ”
[Race: Spirit Snake] [Property: Spiritual, Evil]
[Combat Level: LordMedium]
[Potential Level: Lord.Upper]
With this new level, Feng Qing’an had a general idea of the snake’s strength. He also realized how absurd his big brother’s books were.
If a monster stronger than this snake appeared, these books probably wouldn’t be able to suppress it. But these books were written by his older brother a long time ago.. If he were to write similar content right now, to what extent could it restrain and suppress a monster?
