Chapter 1653: Chapter 1279: Noble Family Members, Fierce Battle with the Giant Python!

To minimize danger as much as possible!

Zhou Mu is someone skilled in killing and warfare, adept at marching. This trip, it’s just him and Changsheng, yet from the chaotic footprints along the way, it can be judged that they were not the first, with quite a few having entered before them!

The two of them could not afford any misstep. Although they are fearless, reducing danger is always beneficial!

As Gu Changsheng said, naturally formed terrains often breed unknown dangers!

The two picked up speed, once again rapidly tracing ahead. Along the way, the occasional appearance of carcasses of wolves and other beasts, along with mottled bloodstains, were not given much thought by either of them.

However, when the carcasses ceased to appear, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s brows began to furrow!

"The beast carcasses are getting fewer!"

Gu Changsheng frowned, reminding in a deep voice.

In the wild, animals always mark their territory!

The more ferocious the animal, the greater its intimidation and territory, leaving no other creature in the vicinity!

Zhou Mu understood his little woman’s words almost instantly, and their speed immediately decreased significantly, cautiously advancing one step at a time, tailing the tracks on the ground...

Due to the presence and obstruction of miasma, even if they want to release their inner strength to scout the path ahead, they can’t, so they can only advance cautiously, step by step, prepared for anything!

Yet, their previous full-speed pursuit played its part!

They hadn’t been cautiously advancing for long when they heard the sounds of a battle up ahead!

The moment Gu Changsheng heard this, a trace of joy appeared in her heart!

See, she knew there was definitely danger in this area, and wasn’t it true, someone before them drew the attack away!

"Let’s go take a look!" Lowly greeting her evildoer, Gu Changsheng hunched over, quickly moving in the direction of the battle sounds!

As she approached, the overwhelming stench of blood almost made Gu Changsheng vomit.

Damn, this place, full of decaying miasma, already smells horrible, and with this bloody scent, it’s just unbearable!

It’s simply challenging Gu Changsheng’s sense of smell!

Gu Changsheng is a person with a cleanliness obsession, though not to an extreme, her pursuit of a comfortable life often outweighs everything else, for example, among the herbs she replenished at the pharmacy earlier were... mint leaves!

Grabbing a handful of mint leaves, covering her mouth and nose, Gu Changsheng generously gave a handful to her evildoer!

The moment Zhou Mu received the mint leaves, his expression was somewhat stunned!

"What’s wrong? It’s always good to suffer less! Use it! Mint leaves are good stuff; this place is full of miasma and poisonous insects, a total mess, mint leaves refresh the mind!" As she spoke, Gu Changsheng lay behind a large tree stump, peeking ahead.

The most important thing is, after refreshing the mind, you can watch a good show!

What a sight! Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes widened immediately.

Oh my god!

Such a big snake!

No!

More accurately, it’s a python!

This python is so huge that a few people together couldn’t wrap their arms around it, calling its girth a millstone would be an understatement!

"Damn, truly there’s always someone better. Compared to this big python, my Soul-Devouring Python should simply wash up and go to bed!" Staring at the massive python, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but speak.

Oh my god, compared to this python, her Soul-Devouring Python is slim as ever!

I told you, if no beasts are around here, surely something more dangerous has emerged, and indeed, I was right!

This enormous python hasn’t grown into this monstrous form without a thousand or eight hundred years!

They say a turtle lives ten thousand years, but a python, if undisturbed, can live for a long time too!

After marveling at the python’s immense size and ferocity, when Gu Changsheng saw the group of people fighting around it, she couldn’t help but laugh!

Well, aren’t those the Hidden World Clan people who followed behind her Dark Night Army’s banner?

Now, they managed to get ahead!

Look at them, each looking so disheveled, almost all injured, using their inner strength as if it costs nothing, hurling it all at the giant python. Yet, it had no effect, barely scratching the python’s skin, merely irritating it more and more...

Tsk, tsk...

While Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu watched the scene from a distance, the Hidden World Clan folks battling the giant python were in utter despair!

"Elder, it’s no use, this giant python has become a demon; we can’t hurt it at all!" Yu Qingqiu, who barely survived under Gu Changsheng’s hand, said anxiously to the elder as they futilely bombarded the giant python.

"Lianyi can’t hold on any longer, take her to a safe place first!" Elder Yuh, hearing this, glanced at Yu Lianyi, whose abdomen had a large tear, obviously bitten by the python, and shouted in distress.

"If she hadn’t provoked this deadly giant python, how would we have ended up in this situation? I don’t want to save her!" Yu Qingqiu said indignantly upon hearing this.

"You!" Elder Yuh, upon hearing these words, showed a trace of disappointment on his old face. But in such a life-and-death moment, a single mistake could lead to being swallowed by the python, so he had no time to discipline Yu Qingqiu. He could only fling the severely injured Yu Lianyi far away and continued to bombard the giant python relentlessly!

All of the firepower from over a dozen people was focused on the giant python, yet it wasn’t injured in the least!

On the contrary, under the crimson snake tongue and sharp teeth of the python, they kept getting wounded, either bitten by the snake’s mouth or whipped by its tail. Compared to the futile efforts of the Hidden World Clan, the python’s damage was utterly devastating!

Gu Changsheng watched the dire situation of the Hidden World Clan and nudged his evildoer with his elbow, couldn’t help but ask, "What do you think they’re doing here following us instead of being part of our procession?"

Isn’t it clear they’re just sending themselves to death?

Look at them, utterly devastated!

At any rate, they are masters of the Transformative Realm, yet in front of this giant python, they haven’t gained the slightest advantage and are covered in scars!

"Heaven and earth treasures emerge from perilous places. They must have thought there were heaven and earth treasures in this Valley of Forgetfulness and came to take risks!" Zhou Mu said after thinking for a moment.

"Ha!" Gu Changsheng sneered upon hearing this, speaking with sarcasm, "Truly a case of greedily swallowing a camel whole, knew they had no good intentions following us!"

Now look, whether they can keep their lives is another question, yet they are still coveting those heaven and earth treasures!

Truly, they’re digging their own graves!

While Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu chattered, the Hidden World Clan elders in the grueling battle ahead finally realized this strategy wasn’t working at all—they couldn’t harm the giant python in the slightest!

"Stop attacking aimlessly! Aim for the snake’s vital point, focus all weapons and inner strength, and let’s strike its vital point together!" Bai Family Elder Bai Wuao shouted, dodging the sweeping snake tail and positioning himself to the side of the giant python.

The rest of the Hidden World Clan moved quickly upon hearing this!

"Not completely foolish after all!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but nod, inwardly agreeing with Bai Wuao’s strategy.

However, just as Gu Changsheng nodded, the comprehensive strike targeting the python’s vital point by the Hidden World Clan had its result...

It wasn’t a lethal strike at all!

Not to mention, the Hidden World Clan had already exhausted much of their inner strength, each one looking disheveled, and the python’s snake skin was staggeringly tough!

All those sharp blades, powered by vigorous inner strength, flew towards the python’s vital point, and then...

Then, there was no ’then’...

Only the clattering sound of weapons falling to the ground was heard, and the Hidden World Clan was defeated once again!

"What a bunch of damn wastes! Can’t even contend with a mere worm! What’s the point of living? Such a waste of food!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse under her breath.

Damn it!

Utterly frustrating and pathetic, like an enrage bag of Lord Yama’s!

Even she, who was just there to enjoy the show, was feeling a bit intolerant!

But, even having missed once, the Hidden World Clan did not give up. As the saying goes, failing repeatedly but fighting on, the Hidden World Clan found their angle, retrieved their weapons, and persistently launched a second attack...

Then...

The outcome was the same as before...

Equally fruitless!

At the brink of death, the Hidden World Clan showed no intention of giving up, once again picking up their weapons, preparing for a third attack...

But Gu Changsheng, who was watching the show, couldn’t help but shake her head, saying to her evildoer, "As the saying goes, ’take an action with vigor the first time, decline the second time, exhaust the third time,’ they’ve already made two futile attempts, and this third one is not going to work either!"

They truly are useless, incapable people!

Thinking of how she was once oppressed by the Hidden World Clan to the extent of ’just not needed,’ and seeing their current disheveled state, Gu Changsheng felt utterly humiliated!

"So, should we save them?" Zhou Mu tilted his head and looked at his girl, his face like that of a divine residence, full of seriousness, asking.

"Are you kidding?" Gu Changsheng frowned and lowly roared upon hearing this.

Save them?

Save the Hidden World Clan?

Isn’t that a joke?

If you ask who in the world most wishes for the Hidden World Clan to be wiped out, without a doubt, besides Gu Changsheng, there’s no one else!

Being devoured by a snake is actually the best outcome for these people...
