Chapter 353

Yan Kuangsheng's expression instantly turned serious.

"The Blood-thirsty Python is here!"

Even a top-tier god-rank powerhouse like him had to be fully prepared and could still get injured.

Lin Moyu did not know how the other Cabinet Elders, who only had the strength of Pseudo-gods, were going to deal with the Blood-thirsty Python.

According to Yan Kuangsheng, these Pseudo-gods were incredibly fragile.

There must be something in between that Lin Moyu didn't know about.

A giant python over two hundred meters long appeared in their line of sight.

Its eyes glowed with red light, a pair of sharp horns grew on its head, and its entire body was covered in thick scales.

Claws grew beneath its belly, looking incredibly sharp.

With its appearance, a thick, bloody scent filled the void.

This scent… Lin Moyu smelled it every day; it was the exact scent emitted by the Bloody Land.

Lin Moyu realized that a large number of Blood-thirsty Pythons must have died in the Bloody Land, which was why the scent of the Bloody Land never dissipated throughout the year.

At the same time the Blood-thirsty Python appeared, Yan Kuangsheng had already taken Lin Moyu and quickly retreated.

"This time we're just watching the show. Let them deal with it."

Yan Kuangsheng had no intention of taking action at all.

In Lin Moyu's eyes, the warship carrying Dongfang Yao had already charged toward the Blood-thirsty Python.

A circular barrier appeared on the warship, protecting the entire vessel.

Lin Moyu could tell that this circular barrier combined the formations of the Human Race and the barriers of the Abyss.

The energy source of the ship also seemed to have some connection to the Dragon Race.

It was practically a combination of the strengths of all three races.

A thin beam of light shot out from the warship, striking the Blood-thirsty Python like a bolt of lightning.

The Blood-thirsty Python's massive body trembled all over, and it instantly let out an even lower, raspy growl.

Chapter 325: They're Out of Luck, Having Bad Luck

This inconspicuous thin beam was incredibly powerful.

The Blood-thirsty Python's seemingly powerful scales actually shattered with a bang under the attack of the thin beam.

Blood splattered everywhere. The Blood-thirsty Python's blood, slightly yellowish, dripped down, making the bloody scent even stronger.

The moment Lin Moyu smelled the blood, he felt an urge to rush forward and swallow it in one gulp.

One of the Cabinet Elders on the warship took action. He flew out in a flash, holding a giant crystal bottle, and collected every single drop of the falling blood.

Lin Moyu finally understood why it was called the Blood-thirsty Python.

It wasn't because the giant python itself was bloodthirsty, but because its blood made people unable to resist wanting to consume it.

Yan Kuangsheng had a look of disdain on his face. "Although the meat of the Blood-thirsty Python is excellent, this blood isn't worth much."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and blurted out, "Even a tiny ant is still meat."

Yan Kuangsheng burst into laughter. "Well said, even a tiny mosquito is still meat."

The attacked Blood-thirsty Python was already enraged. Its massive tail swept over at an astonishingly fast speed.

With Lin Moyu's vision, he couldn't capture its attack path at all.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the python's tail had already slammed heavily against the warship.

The barrier on the warship warped and deformed, seemingly on the verge of shattering.

One of the Cabinet Elders pressed his hand onto the warship. The warship shone brilliantly, and the barrier stabilized accordingly.

The warship attacked once more. This time, the attack was no longer a thin beam, but transformed into a hundred-meter giant blade, slashing down toward the Blood-thirsty Python.

The horn on the Blood-thirsty Python's head shone brightly, blasting out thousands of falling lightning bolts, colliding violently with the giant blade.

The powers of both sides were closely matched, annihilating each other in the void simultaneously.

At this moment, the Blood-thirsty Python's giant tail whipped rapidly, striking hundreds of times in an instant, with continuous rumbling sounds.

The warship's shield erupted in ripples as terrifying energy surged in the void.

The Cabinet Elders inside the warship left the vessel one after another, launching attacks at the Blood-thirsty Python.

Only then did Lin Moyu realize that they had actually formed a party.

Among them were Knights, Warriors, Mages, and Archers.

Not only that, there were also two who remained on the warship, clearly acting as Healer and Support.

After these few went out, they formed a battle array and broke into a fierce battle with the Blood-thirsty Python.

They were treating the Blood-thirsty Python entirely as a BOSS.

Splendid light flickered in Lin Moyu's eyes; a battle between top-tier Professionals was a rare sight.

Yan Kuangsheng still spoke with disdain, "Just watch, don't take it seriously. A true god-rank doesn't fight like this."

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised.

It's not fought like this? Then how should they fight?

Don't other Professionals all fight in parties?

After all, god-rank powerhouses are also Professionals.

Yan Kuangsheng said, "Have you ever seen god-rank powerhouses form a party?"

Of course he hadn't. He had never even seen a true god-rank powerhouse take action.

The brief clash between Yan Kuangsheng and Bai Yiyuan a few days ago didn't count.

Yan Kuangsheng said, "The reason god-rank powerhouses are god-rank powerhouses is because they don't need anyone's Support, nor do they need to form any party, to unleash their full combat power."

"They fight when they want to fight, and leave when they want to leave, without being dragged down by a party."

"Of course, you won't understand until you reach that level."

"When the time comes, that fellow Bai Yiyuan will definitely teach you. I don't need to waste my breath."

Lin Moyu half-understood.

However, in his memory, Bai Yiyuan indeed acted alone and had never formed a party with anyone.

Furthermore, in the records about Bai Yiyuan, he also seemed to face enemies alone.

At the time, he had wondered: didn't Bai Yiyuan need healing or Support to buff him?

Yan Kuangsheng said, "You must remember that a level 89 top-tier Professional, a level 90 Pseudo-god, and a level 90 true god-rank are three completely different concepts."

"Whether it's a level 89 or a Pseudo-god, neither is a match for a true god-rank."

"Even if a dozen Pseudo-gods form a party, it still won't work."

Lin Moyu gave an hum of acknowledgment, "I've noted it down."

In the later stages for Professionals, even a difference of a single level would result in a massive gap in strength.

He hadn't expected that, in Yan Kuangsheng's words, the difference would be so vast.

Even a party of level 89 top-tier Professionals wouldn't be enough to take on a level 90 true god-rank.

Yan Kuangsheng then changed the topic, "However, there are some exceptions. Some level 89 top-tier Professionals have already touched upon that step and can be called Half-step God-rank."

"Their strength might even be greater than that of a level 90 Pseudo-god."

Lin Moyu instantly thought of Dean Mo Xinghe of Creation Academy.

Every time he took action, it was effortless, wiping out monsters with methods that Lin Moyu couldn't comprehend at all.

Furthermore, Bai Yiyuan had also said that he was highly likely to become the next new god-rank in the empire.

Perhaps he was exactly what Yan Kuangsheng called a Half-step God-rank.

In any case, at least with his current level, he was completely unable to understand it.

After the battle lasted for several minutes, it seemed to enter its climax.

The party formed by the Cabinet Elders had already erupted with their full power.

The Blood-thirsty Python gradually grew weaker, seemingly on the verge of losing.

The Cabinet Elder controlling the warship seized the opportunity, suddenly erupting with a powerful aura.

A giant blade slashed out as fast as lightning.

Blood splattered across the sky as a section of the Blood-thirsty Python's tail was severed.

It was a full five meters long.

This was a massive chunk of flesh.

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up. This chunk of flesh was too massive, hundreds of times larger than the piece he had eaten.

Once severed, the python's tail rapidly shrank in the void.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank into a piece of meat only about half a meter long.

Lin Moyu was stunned. It could do that?

Yan Kuangsheng grinned, still with deep disdain, "Once the flesh of the Blood-thirsty Python is severed, it discards useless impurities, leaving only the essence. This piece of meat is enough for five people to eat."

"Tail meat has the worst quality and average effects. Aside from being large, it's completely useless."

"At most, it increases all attributes by 1,500."

Yan Kuangsheng had dealt with the Blood-thirsty Pythons for who knows how many years, so he knew this all too well.

Lin Moyu asked, "Looking at it now, it seems they have a chance to slay this Blood-thirsty Python."

Yan Kuangsheng laughed heartily, "They won't. If they run too slowly, they might even lose their lives here."

"But with yours truly here, they won't die."

Although Yan Kuangsheng repeatedly voiced his disdain for these Cabinet Elder Pseudo-gods, they were still people of the Shenxia Empire after all, so he wouldn't just stand by and watch them die.

Sure enough, it was just as Yan Kuangsheng had said.

—Please Support with flowers—

After obtaining a piece of Blood-thirsty Python meat, the Cabinet Elders quickly rushed back to the warship.

They looked as if they were running for their lives.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, let's go!"

From the urgency in their voices, one could tell how anxious they were.

Dongfang Yao was clearly a bit confused. She didn't know why they had suddenly become so rushed.

Wasn't the situation looking great?

Even slaying this Blood-thirsty Python didn't seem to be very difficult.

Why were they suddenly leaving?

Though filled with questions, she did not speak them aloud.

Before setting off, her father, Sovereign Dongfang Yi, had told her that she must listen to the Cabinet Elders in everything.

Watch more, speak less, or even say nothing at all.

The Blood-thirsty Python let out an unusual roar.

There was a whimpering quality to the cry, like a child who had been bullied running home to complain to their parents.

The sound broke past the speed limit, instantly echoing through the entire void.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, faster!"

The Cabinet Elders urged even more frantically.

"This is already the fastest!"
