Although the scene of the battle between the two seemed to have gone on for a long time, it actually only lasted a few breaths. The live stream audience hadn’t even had time to see what happened clearly, when suddenly, instead of the Poisonous Venomous Python chasing Qian Qi, it became Qian Qi chasing the Poisonous Venomous Python.
[--What happened? How did the battle situation change so suddenly?]
[--From afar, I only saw Brother Dog’s helmet suddenly fall off, and then the Poisonous Venomous Python tossed him away?]
[--By the way, did you notice that this python actually speaks human language? Seems like in the recent A-level Magic Beast Tide, quite a few A-level Magic Beasts can utter human speech too?]
[--That’s right, although A-level Contracted Beasts can speak human language, it’s because they’re contracted by the Beast Master, inheriting the human language system, allowing them to use the sounding tube to produce human speech. But these A-level Magic Beasts seem naturally able to do so?]
The reason B-level and below Contracted Beasts can’t produce human speech is because their throat’s sounding tube isn’t fully developed, so they can only respond to their master through consciousness. However, A-level Contracted Beasts don’t have this issue; they can produce human speech as long as they’ve inherited the human language system.
But why can the recently appeared A-level Magic Beasts produce human speech without being contracted?
Qian Qi was also curious. She summoned Qian Ba out from the Beast Taming Space, grabbed its Ice Crystal Armor, leaped up, and mounted its back. The little white wolf raised its forelimbs and jumped up too, swiftly sprinting over the enormous snake body of the Poisonous Venomous Python, with small and beautiful frost flowers blooming under its paws.
Then Qian Qi swung the Snake Stick like she was hitting a dog, striking one blow after another!
As she landed on it, the Poisonous Venomous Python became numb, its entire body making a cracking sound as its snake scales stood upright, twisting and flailing like a possessed loach in the black pool water, trying to throw Qian Qi off.
"Ahhhhhh——Get off me, bug, go away ahhhhh——"
However, Qian Ba’s body was incredibly nimble after devil training through the Secret Realm, managing to find footing with every step, without falling into the black water at all.
Qian Qi laughed more maniacally and perversely: "Don’t run, weren’t you just clinging to Uncle Bug tightly? Come~ Let Uncle Bug give you a kiss—"
The Poisonous Venomous Python got so scared it was almost unable to think, just wishing desperately to throw Qian Qi off its snake body. Its throat twitched, spewing out a large mouthful of venom towards her!
"Moyu, curse it to miss!" Qian Qi shouted loudly. The next moment, Moyu appeared out of thin air and flew, its ruby-like beast eyes flashing slightly, and a spiritual power control shot forth, disrupting the Poisonous Venomous Python’s motor nerves.
"Pop, pop, pop," venom bombs shot towards Qian Qi, but somehow missed every time, landing elsewhere without touching her at all, leaving the Poisonous Venomous Python dumbfounded.
Realizing something, it uttered a crisp curse, "Damn! It’s a Word Spirit System Demon Beast?"
In the magical beast lineage it inherited from its father, there was mention of Spiritual System Demon Beasts being the most fearsome opponents against other attribute demon beasts. And the Word Spirit System, mutated from the Spiritual System, was even more terrifying; if its evolution level reached Sealed Title Level, it could even control magic beasts not belonging to its own kind...
Damn, how unlucky it was!
The Poisonous Venomous Python instantly felt uneasy; Word Spirit System Demon Beasts never needed to submit beneath a Beast Master, so it couldn’t figure out what level of Beast Master Qian Qi was. What if she was a Legendary Level...
The Poisonous Venomous Python grew increasingly panicked, fearing it might die at a tender age of sixteen, it immediately started shouting for its dad, "Dad—Help me!!!"
Its howl was deafening, piercing through the black-water fields and reaching the Emperor Python Group, where the Emperor Python King atop the largest Emperor Lotus raised its head abruptly upon hearing it.
With a shrill cry, the surrounding Emperor Pythons swam along as well, and although drunkenness lingered in their golden snake eyes, it couldn’t hide the icy murderous glint beneath. They gathered around the Emperor Python King, slowly raising their winding snake bodies upright, gently fanning their gigantic ear-wings, together turning their snake heads towards the east where the Poisonous Venomous Python was.
Qian Qi looked back and saw over twenty Poisonous Emperor Pythons circling the Emperor Lotus and Python King. The Python King’s massive and majestic snake body rose skyward behind the Emperor Lotus, with its icy and bloodthirsty golden snake eyes looking this way from afar. Under the night sky, their undulating snake bodies resembled the slender petals of that otherworldly flower, sprinkling countless drops of black water into the air, suddenly blossoming into a giant black snake flower.
This scene reflected in Qian Qi’s eyes, astonishing her beyond words to describe the fantastical nature of it.
And a fragment of memory, previously unseen, suddenly pierced her brain with pain. A wild, uncontrollable mix of grief and rage flooded her chest; those slender, twisted black "petals" felt like leeches, feeding on her life’s memory, continuously clashing with her consciousness and reason.
The crawling blood threads climbed into her eyes, with something rapidly seizing control of her body and mind, dragging her into darkness...
"Attack! Attack the young python immediately!"
Beside her, Gong Qiang’s loud voice suddenly rang out, and various elemental energy skills crashed down on the young python, making it scream in painful agony, its tail thrashing towards several people. In the distance, the Emperor Python swarm surged towards them at high speed, warnings and angry serpent cries mixing with the explosion sounds of the skills, causing Qian Qi’s ears to roar...
"Qian Qi, what’s wrong? Snap out of it!" Next to her, Qian Ba’s desperate shout seemed to become more distant. Qian Qi felt as if her consciousness were entering an alternate dimension, filled with a vast sea of red blood.
She stood within the blood ocean, and suddenly heard the black snake’s hiss behind her, with a chilling murderous aura rushing towards her neck. She spun around abruptly, only to find that the intruder wasn’t the black snake but a giant magical plant towering a hundred meters tall.
It blossomed with slender petals resembling the otherworldly flower, whipping and swinging fiercely around, the scattered blood spraying all over Qian Qi.
And with each whip sound, the blood splashed onto her face emitted countless wails and screams of agony; she raised her hand to gently wipe the blood, finding it both scorching and icy.
A strange voice suddenly sounded in her ear, causing a pang in Qian Qi’s heart. As her vision blurred, the giant magical plant quietly vanished, leaving behind only a lone shadow in its place, which slowly turned around, revealing a face identical to Qian Qi’s.
"She" had crimson eyes, with nothing in them but pure murderous intent, appeared like a ghost right in front of Qian Qi, holding her neck with both hands.
Her hoarse voice was saturated with extreme chill, the shadow merging into her body. The next moment, Qian Qi was abruptly stripped from her consciousness, staring coldly with red eyes at the approaching snake group.
