Chapter 1229: Chapter 1224: Giant Elephant

"Hiss hiss hiss!" The Red Snake’s pupils slightly enlarged, feeling astonished at the powerful human before it.

This Red Snake, though seemingly small, was the absolute ruler of the surrounding area.

No matter how strong the prey or how keen the beasts were, few could escape its strike.

Yet, the human before it achieved this effortlessly.

Twice, indeed.

The Red Snake, lacking intelligence, felt the human was extremely troublesome.

In contrast to the Red Snake’s vigilance, Qin Hao felt more at ease.

The speed of the Red Snake’s strike was quick; only those at the Grandmaster level or above, prepared in advance, might evade it.

Unluckily, Qin Hao was known for his speed, so much so that he could turn into a phantom.

Thus, the speed the Red Snake excelled in paled in comparison before him.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The Red Snake, after flicking its tongue again, suddenly opened its mouth wide, and from the small hole between its two fangs, a fiery red toxin sprayed out.

Qin Hao lightly dodged, and the toxin landed on his finger, transforming into flame and started to burn.

"Hiss?"

The Red Snake seemed somewhat shocked, just about to search for Qin Hao’s whereabouts, but before its head could turn, it was severed by a swift stream of light.

Swish!

As the snake head dropped, a large spray of blood erupted from the Red Snake’s body.

The blood fell onto the leaves and surprisingly ignited as well.

"Damn! This blood actually contains Fire Spiritual Qi!"

Casually slaying the Red Snake with Inner Strength, Qin Hao felt no pride as his expression turned pained.

This snake wasn’t just a venomous snake.

It was a Spirit Snake, its body transforming into a Spirit Beast. Hence, its blood had such miraculous effects.

Records state that even during the peak era of the Immortal Race, cultivators with Spirit Beasts were exalted members of wealthy families.

Now, a living Spirit Beast was right before him, and he has shamefully killed it?

Such a waste!

Qin Hao felt pained, but as the fire spread more widely, he grabbed the Red Frost Grass, stuffed it into his backpack, and jumped down the tree.

Bang!

The tree’s tip completely ignited, and the fire was rapidly spreading to the surroundings.

"Shit! I think I’m about to cause a forest fire!"

Qin Hao’s expression slightly changed.

For miles around, it was dense with trees.

Setting such a fire, what might the consequences be?

Simply unimaginable!

At the moment of Qin Hao’s astonishment, a Thunderbolt streaked across the sky.

Then, torrential rain suddenly poured down, swiftly extinguishing the fire on the tree.

Qin Hao looked at the charred bald tree, his face still somewhat bewildered.

"Why is this downpour so mysterious?"

"Wait! It’s only raining here, and nowhere else!"

Qin Hao climbed up the tree, surveying, only to find that the rain was limited to several hundred square meters around this tree.

While the rest of the forest remained calm.

"This is unscientific! Is there some force controlling the rainfall?"

Qin Hao squinted his eyes, letting the raindrops fall on his face, seeing faint smoke drifting in the depths of the dark clouds.

"Is the sky part of the Array too?"

Qin Hao suddenly understood.

This Celestial Dragon Island is protected by a spiritual Grand Array. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The existence of this Grand Array is not just for defense or warding off enemies.

It also has the function of monitoring and repairing Celestial Dragon Island.

"Is this the handiwork of the Immortal Race? It simply exceeds human imagination!"

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Qin Hao would have thought the Immortal Race’s records were bragging.

Soon, Qin Hao left the area, clenching his fist with excitement on his face: "By my count, my level has stagnated for a long time without improvement. This time, as long as I explore well in this opportunity-rich place, even if I don’t get the Immortal Pill, it should suffice for a breakthrough!"

As his self-encouraging words landed.

Boom!

A shocking gigantic sound arose out of nowhere in the distance.

Qin Hao felt the ground quiver slightly, and his heart trembled along with it.

"What... what’s happening? That sound is terrifying!"

Qin Hao gazed towards the north.

Due to the dense trees, the vision there was poor, even if Qin Hao climbed a treetop, he couldn’t see much.

Helplessly, he jumped off the tree, heading north through the forest.

Traveling north about ten miles.

The sound in Qin Hao’s ears grew louder.

He quickened his pace, advancing another ten miles. The sound was blaring, thumping thumping thumping, as if nearby!

Without hesitation, Qin Hao sped up, dashing through a man-high grass bush, and then suddenly a shock.

In the distance.

Among thousands of trees, a valley suddenly appeared.

The valley wasn’t large, flowers and wild fruits bloomed on both sides.

Qin Hao didn’t admire the scenery of the valley’s sides, his eyes fixed on the valley entrance.

There, a vast, unusual creature was rampaging everywhere.

"Long nose. Large tusks, a body like a small mountain. Damn, it’s an elephant!"

Qin Hao’s eyes widened in surprise.

Do elephants truly live in forests?

Don’t documentaries suggest their habitat is plains?

What’s even more bewildering to Qin Hao isn’t the elephant’s living habits.

It’s that the elephant’s size seemed overly immense.

"Why does it look even bigger than an African bull elephant?"

Qin Hao blinked, unable to analyze the elephant’s size before hearing many cries resounding.

"Ah!"

"My leg is broken! Someone save me!"

"This giant elephant went crazy! Run..."

Upon closer inspection, Qin Hao realized that at the valley entrance, a group of humans was desperately fleeing inward.

From their attire, this group had also ventured into Celestial Dragon Island as Loose Cultivators.

"This... this is a massacre?"

Qin Hao couldn’t help swallowing hard.

He understood.

The giant elephant deliberately blocked the entrance with its body, then proceeded to ruthlessly hunt the intruding humans.

These Loose Cultivators were well-known masters in the outside world.

Yet, within Celestial Dragon Island, they’re mere fodder for beast slaughter.

In less than two minutes, the elephant had stomped all the humans at the valley entrance to death.

The ground was littered with shattered bones, truly terrifying!

"Damn! This thing is truly brutal!"

Considering further, since returning to his country, Qin Hao hadn’t seen such a bloody scene for a long time.

"After all, a beast is still a beast. Compared to it, I, Night Emperor, am still too merciful."

Unable to help himself, Qin Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, subconsciously muttering, "This elephant is impressive, but what caused that massive sound earlier?"

While pondering, he saw the giant elephant at the valley entrance, seemingly celebrating, lifted its head, let out a massive roar, then with four limbs sprang up, its enormous body soared, then heavily dropped again.

Boom!

The deafening sound almost ruptured Qin Hao’s eardrums.

The ground fiercely shook but that’s not all.

More fearsome, a nearby tree as thick as a man was snapped just like that.

"Damn! This is a Divine Realm beast!"
