Chapter 1600: Chapter 1600: Giant Python Valley

Fang Bai pointed at the Jade Pendant hanging around Wu De’s neck and said, “This thing given to you by the Qingzhu Venerable is a treasure. With it, you can withstand the pressure within the tower, and in the first few levels of the Linglong Tower, no one can harm you!”

Hearing this, Wu De’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Jade Pendant given by the Qingzhu Venerable. With a smile, he said, “I get it. This Jade Pendant is a token from the Qingzhu Venerable. It can intimidate some experts, and it also contains the Venerable’s Killing Qi. Anyone who tries to harm me will have bad luck, right?”

Seeing Fang Bai nod, Wu De excitedly pumped his fist, immediately erasing any sign of nervousness from his face.

He carefully tucked the Jade Pendant under his clothes, placing it close to his body. He thought to himself that from now on, this Jade Pendant would be his protective charm, and he must take good care of it, ensuring it doesn’t get lost.

Feng Peng, Hu Wei, and Hu Zhuang shared the same thought, considering the Jade Pendant as an incredible treasure.

Fang Bai thought for a moment, then gave each of the four a piece of Jade Pendant, reminding them that they could summon him if they needed to. He then said, “In this nine-level Linglong Tower, to get the best training experience, it’s best to rely on your own efforts. So… let’s all go our separate ways and seek our opportunities. Let’s meet outside the tower in eighty-one days!”

After Fang Bai said this, he immediately shot toward the second level of the Linglong Tower.

Following closely behind him were the two Hu brothers, Hu Wei and Hu Zhuang.

“Just ran like that? Three unfaithful guys!”

Watching Fang Bai and the other two leave, Wu De grumbled discontentedly. Noticing Feng Peng still by his side, he smiled and said, “Peng brother, you’re the reliable one!”

Feng Peng said, “This is my first time here, and my cultivation level is only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul. So I can only train on the first level first. If I have the chance, I’ll go to the second level and check it out.”

Wu De said with a bitter face, “Come on, you all left, how can I manage alone? This place is full of Nascent Soul Experts. Even if I find any treasures, how can I compete with them? Peng brother, why don’t we team up and split the treasures we find?”

Feng Peng didn’t say a word. He just pointed to the Jade Pendant around his neck, implying, with this protective charm, what do you have to worry about?

Wu De and Feng Peng moved forward aimlessly, encountering many Nascent Soul level experts along the way. These experts were in a hurry, their eyes darting around, searching for potentially hidden cultivation treasures.

During this time, Wu De and Feng Peng also saw some King Grade cultivation resources, but every time they made a move, they were a step slower than others. Consequently, these cultivation resources ended up in the hands of other experts, and they ended up with nothing.

Wu De was so angry about this that he yelled, “Wah wah,” but Feng Peng was indifferent. He had heard from the Hu brothers that there were plenty of opportunities within the nine-level Linglong Tower, and almost no Martial Artist would leave empty-handed.

After an unknown amount of time, the two reached the entrance of a valley and found over a thousand Nascent Soul level experts gathered there.

Most of these Nascent Soul experts stood outside the valley entrance, not daring to rush into the valley. However, a few fearless Martial Artists gritted their teeth and charged right in.

“Giant Python Valley? Brother Wu, shall we go in and take a look?”

Feng Peng glanced at the three crimson characters carved on the cliff outside the valley entrance, seeking Wu De’s opinion.

“Well…”

Wu De actually really disliked snake-like creatures, but seeing the hint of disdain in Feng Peng’s eyes directed at him, he puffed out his chest and said, “Let’s go in and take a look! Together!”

He said “go in together,” but once they were actually in Giant Python Valley, he fell a few steps behind Feng Peng, becoming tense and gripping his Spiritual Artifact tightly, remaining on high alert.

In Giant Python Valley, giant pythons five or six meters long could be seen everywhere, the longest reaching more than ten meters. They either lay amongst the rocks on either side of the path or hung from thick branches, appearing incredibly intimidating, making one’s scalp tingle.

Although the giant pythons appeared clumsy, they were not slow at all and with extremely tough bodies. In battle, they were formidable foes against Martial Artists of the same realm.

However, the giant pythons within Giant Python Valley seemed relatively docile, not proactively attacking human experts.

Nonetheless, the human experts entering the valley who sought fortunes had no choice but to incite a fight first, attacking the giant pythons to seize opportunities.

It should be known, the giant pythons in Giant Python Valley were comparable to human Nascent Soul Realm, and their Python Cores were of immense auxiliary utility for Martial Artists, greatly igniting the killing intent in Martial Artists.

Therefore, once Wu De and Feng Peng entered Giant Python Valley, they witnessed scenes of fierce battles between human experts and giant pythons everywhere, with human experts being devoured by pythons and pythons being slain by human experts.

The ground of Giant Python Valley was already stained by streams of blood, a heavy scent of blood lingering in the air, and dismembered human limbs and severed python heads scattered everywhere.

Fortunately, both Wu De and Feng Peng were used to such bloody sights, so they did not find it astonishing.

“Let’s find a giant python, kill it, and after you swallow the Python Core, perhaps you’ll successfully form your core.”

Feng Peng quietly suggested to Wu De.

Wu De’s eyes lit up, and he grabbed Feng Peng’s sleeve, grinning, “Peng brother, you’re a Nascent Soul expert, you must lend me a helping hand! If I can form my core, I won’t forget your favor today. Although my capabilities aren’t impressive, I am quite adept at finding cultivation resources. If we hit the jackpot, I’ll share it with you!”

Feng Peng stated, “You are a friend of my master, I will naturally assist you!”

Wu De slapped Feng Peng’s shoulder vigorously, “You’re a true friend!”

The two searched around for a moment then spotted a green-skinned giant python coiled on a towering ancient tree nearby. Feng Peng launched the attack, while Wu De supported from the side.

Feng Peng transformed back into his avian form to face the enemy, having the upper hand from above. Moreover, with the Jade Pendant from Qingzhu Venerable enhancing his pressure, it hugely increased his odds against the python.

Despite the python’s robust body and nimble moves, it was still weaker compared to Feng Peng; in no more than a hundred breaths, the python was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.

“Peng brother, keep at it, finish it off!”

Wu De shouted excitedly, wanting to help but knowing he could not contribute significantly.

Suddenly, Feng Peng let out a piercing cry, transforming into a gray streak of lightning, carrying a formidable wind spirit energy, swooping down in a gust of fierce wind.

The giant tree where the python resided swayed and snapped under the tempest, sending the python’s massive body plummeting from the sky toward the ground.

“Snap!”

Before the python hit the ground, Feng Peng swooped down in a strike, claws gouging out its pair of eyeballs.

Blinded, the python lost half its fighting capability, becoming even less of a match for Feng Peng. Within a dozen breaths, Feng Peng’s claws had decapitated it, snuffing out its life.
