Chapter 143 The Red-Scaled Python
Ye Kang, dressed in a yellow uniform, ran swiftly through the encirclement of the Thousand Absolute Sect.
He just caught a lone Thousand Absolutes Sect disciple, knocked him unconscious, and stripped him of his clothes.
However, Ye Kang didn't waste his Spirit Butterfly Thousand Illusion Body on him. Instead, he changed his clothes and swaggered over.
As it turned out, Ye Kang made the right bet.
Although none of the Thousand Absolutes Sect disciples guarding him had ever seen him before, surprisingly none of them suspected anything.
There are so many people in the Thousand Absolutes Sect, who could possibly know them all?
Isn't it normal to see an unfamiliar face?
So Ye Kang brazenly broke into the encirclement and arrived at the huge waterfall.
Ye Kang was dumbfounded when he saw the three middle-aged men in front of him.
Good guy!
All three are of the eighth rank!
However, like Yan Huan, although they were all eighth-rank, they were only at the initial stage.
But their auras were much purer than Yan Huan's, clearly indicating that none of them had just broken through.
Ye Kang could only use the Hidden Yuan Concealing Qi Technique with all his might. Fortunately, the difference wasn't too great. If the opponent had been three eighth-grade Extreme Realm experts, then the Hidden Yuan Concealing Qi Technique would have been completely useless.
He cautiously approached with his hands clasped in greeting, shouting, "Report! A martial artist in a long black robe just passed by outside!"
The three men took the bait and turned their heads.
The woman in red frowned and said, "Someone else comes to this place? Do you know who he is?"
Ye Kang shook his head: "This disciple does not know, but that person seemed to have ill intentions. Although we chased him away, he did not go far!"
While speaking, Ye Kang secretly observed the positions and expressions of these people.
First of all, it can be confirmed that this waterfall is the location marked on the treasure map, and the Crimson Sun Fruit is located here!
The exact location is unknown, but the fact that these people are gathered here suggests they are also after the treasure, and the Crimson Sun Fruit has undoubtedly been exposed.
Ye Kang was somewhat unwilling. Every plant that could temper the body was one less to be eaten, and now it had been taken away by someone else. Had he wasted all his long-term expectations?
However, all three of them were at the eighth rank of the initial stage, so it was not safe for them to make a direct move.
Ye Kang was caught in a dilemma, while the three waved their hands indifferently. The tall, strong man said, "Don't worry about it. Whoever that guy is, he has to die if he comes in. The news about this place must not be leaked."
The woman in red also said, "That's right, and the time is almost up, we can't afford any unforeseen complications."
After the three finished speaking, they ignored Ye Kang and stared intently at the waterfall.
Ye Kang consciously stepped back and stood with the Thousand Absolute Sect disciples guarding the waterfall.
At least they managed to sneak in without any problems. As for the rest, let's just take it one step at a time.
But what do they mean by saying it's time?
Is the Crimson Sun Fruit not ripe yet?
His doubts didn't last long when suddenly a loud noise came from the waterfall, followed by splashing water. The waterfall broke in the middle, revealing an enormous cave in the rock wall.
"here we go!"
The woman in red was overjoyed. The three of them simultaneously floated into the air, unleashing a surge of true energy that split the waterfall in two.
At the same time, a terrifying roar came from the cave. Ye Kang stared wide-eyed at the cave entrance in disbelief.
Suddenly, a large red tail lashed out from within, sweeping furiously toward the woman in red.
The latter formed palms with both hands and struck out with true energy, easily deflecting the large tail.
She sneered, "As expected, you've already started shedding your skin. Your strength has dropped so much. How are you going to fight us now!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the cave entrance burst open, and a massive, red-scaled python, as thick as an elephant, roared out, its enormous body hurtling towards the three of them.
The three attacked simultaneously, unleashing several bursts of true energy with their palms. With their combined strength, the giant snake was unable to withstand the attack and was sent flying once again, its massive body crashing directly into the waterfall cliff.
Ye Kang stared, his mouth agape.
Good guy!
What a huge demon!
This is the strongest I've ever seen, at least at the eighth rank of the initial stage!
It was even more ferocious than the wolf demon we killed last night!
Ye Kang quickly retreated, making sure he wouldn't reveal any flaws, while his doubts deepened.
During the previous auction, Master Huyan said that the place where the treasure plant is located is usually guarded by powerful demonic beasts. This red-scaled python is exactly the kind of demonic beast that Master Huyan would avoid!
In other words, this snake is very likely the demon beast guarding the Crimson Sun Fruit.
The Thousand Absolutes Sect must have calculated the time when the giant python was shedding its skin, waiting specifically to hunt it down, since any snake is at its weakest when it is shedding its skin.
Even at the eighth rank of the middle realm, when molting, he probably couldn't defeat three peak-state beginners.
Sure enough, as expected, the snake was quickly chased and beaten, with several wounds appearing on its body and a layer of its skin already beginning to peel off.
The demonic aura spread, causing the disciples of the Thousand Absolutes Sect to cover their mouths and noses, feeling somewhat nauseous.
Only Ye Kang kept his eyes fixed on the cave in the rock wall behind the waterfall.
That place is similar to the Water Curtain Cave. The Red Scaled Python crawled out of it, and the demonic beasts must be guarding the treasure plant. If nothing unexpected happens, the Crimson Sun Fruit must be inside!
Ye Kang quietly moved towards the waterfall, pretending to be flustered, just like the others.
Strangely, the three of them could have easily defeated the giant snake by working together, but they seemed to be toying with it, not in a hurry at all, and none of them even took out a weapon, as if they were afraid of damaging the giant snake.
Ye Kang couldn't understand these people's thought processes, but he didn't care. He had already quietly arrived in front of the waterfall, where several yellow-robed disciples were guarding it.
When they saw Ye Kang coming over, they didn't pay any attention. Having more people guarding them made them feel safer.
Ye Kang quietly retreated behind the group. By this time, the three men and the python were fighting more and more fiercely, getting further and further away from the waterfall, crushing countless trees.
The other disciples of the Thousand Absolutes Sect also watched the battle and exclaimed how awesome it was.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Kang had a thought, and the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces appeared before his eyes, extending all the way to the cave entrance.
With a flicker of his Shadow Step, Ye Kang instantly teleported into the cave entrance.
However, this brief fluctuation of true energy also made those eighth-rank experts sense something was wrong.
"Who goes there!" the woman in red exclaimed in surprise.
"Who just revealed their aura? It was so strange!"
She and the tall, muscular man looked wary and quickly surveyed their surroundings.
The last one, a middle-aged man in a purple robe with an air of otherworldly elegance, looked towards the waterfall.
"Someone has entered the snake hole."
He spoke slowly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the other two people and the giant python were all shocked.
The next second, the red-scaled python went berserk and charged toward the waterfall, and the three of them quickly stepped in to suppress it.
"What's wrong with that beast? He's gone mad again!"
"Is there even a question! Someone went into the snake's hole and angered it!"
"Something's not right. What's in the snake's den that's making this beast so agitated?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, then seemed to have guessed something, and their expressions changed drastically.
There's treasure in the snake cave!
