Chapter 27

Its head alone was the size of a bull, and its five-colored scales, black, red, purple, brown, and green, gleamed with dazzling colors under the sunlight .

It held its head high, as a pair of cold eyes stared at Ling Jiu, with bloodlust and fury in its eyes . It was the overlord of this area, and anyone daring to make a ruckus here was a direct challenge to it .

The Five-colored Wyrm Python twitched its tail and drew a long wave over the lake .

The part where its body was outside the water was already five meters long, and its stout waist was as thick as a barrel . Its muscles were bulging under the scales, allowing no one to doubt its terrifying strength .

“A Class 3Direbeast: The Five-colored Wyrm Python!”

Ling Jiu backed away step by step . Water was its domain, and only by luring it onto shore would he deny the Five-colored Wyrm Python its full combat potential .

Unfortunately, Ling Jiu underestimated the Five-colored Wyrm Python’s intelligence, and after it swam to the shore, it did not come ashore . Instead,, it stopped .

“It dare not come ashore?”

Ling Jiu lamented, but he then immediately launched an attack . A terrifying gravitational force swept down and instantly slammed into the Five-colored Wyrm Python’s body .

At the same time, a large amount of osmium soil flew out from the Dimensional Bag and formed into the giant silver hand that grabbed the Five-colored Wyrm Python .

The waters on the shore were not deep, coupled with the gravitational suppression, the Five-colored Wyrm Python’s movement became extremely slow, and was straightaway caught by the giant hand of earth .

“DIE!”

Ling Jiu yelled as he tightened his grip . The giant silver hand then clamped onto the python’s head, neck, and other parts like a vice .

Immediately afterward, sharp thorns shot out from the palm of the giant hand and stabbed viciously into the head and neck of the Five-colored Wyrm Python .

Dush!

Dush!

Scarlet blood flowed from the giant osmium hand as the Five-colored Wyrm Python suddenly struggled violently, its waist and tail sweeping around in desperation .

Baaaam!!

A willow was swept in half, and the python tail came sweeping toward Ling Jiu . Seeing that, he immediately sank and hid into the ground .

At this time, there was no need for him to face the Five-colored Wyrm Python’s attack head-on . Its head and neck had already been stabbed in thousands of places, and it was only a matter of time before it dies, so he only needed to wait .

“Are you really going to thrash about like that even when you’re dying?”

Ling Jiu snorted coldly and attacked the python’s head and neck at an even more frenzied pace . The osmium soil was extremely heavy, weighing 20 times more than ordinary sand, and as powerful as the Five-colored Wyrm Python was, it could not break free from the vice .

Dush dush dush!!!

With severe pain biting at it, the Five-colored Wyrm Python thrashed its tail desperately . Sending lake water splashing all over, mud flying and all of the plants by the shore were ripped apart…

Yet, all of its struggles were futile . The Five-colored Wyrm Python’s thrashing grew weaker and weaker, and its movement too became less and less, and finally, it went still .

Ling Jiu reappeared on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, kept all of the osmium soil away, revealing the almost-pulped head and neck of the python . It could not be more dead now .

“That took a lot of effort just to end you?”

Ling Jiu felt good, and dragged the Five-colored Wyrm Python out from the lake, and put it into his Dimensional Bag . After all, it was a Class 3 Direbeast, he could not bear to throw it away .

So, he had to take it back whole!

“Now all that’s left is that Class 3 Direbeasts in the northeast . I can go back once I’m done killing it!”

Ling Jiu took out his Direbeast Radar, and a striking red dot appeared to his northeast . A red dot represents a Class 3 Direbeasts .

…

Ling Jiu came to Beishan, the famous A4-class scenic area, the Zhougong Temple was located in Beishan . Unfortunately, Zhougong Temple had long been lost, with its buildings collapsed, and overgrown with vegetation, the entire place was completely reduced into a heaven for plantlife .

Ling Jiu’s target this time, the Giant Snapping Turtle was located in Beishan . Snapping turtles usually lived in water, but not this one .

Not only it stayed in Beishan all year round, but it never came into close contact with water, as if it had completely evolved into a landlubber .

Ling Jiu was extremely wary of this Giant Snapping Turtle’s abnormal behavior and got secretly even more vigilant .

Any abnormality meant that something was up, and there must be a reason for the Giant Snapping Turtle to stay in the arid Beishan all year long .

“Almost there!”

Under the guidance of the Direbeast Radar, Ling Jiu climbed all the way up to the half-mountain . Suddenly, cool air blew over and made him felt good .

“So cooling?”

Ling Jiu was surprised, only to find there was a small col between the mountains, and hidden inside the col was a pool . Clear spring water flowed from the mountain peak into the pool .

“There’s a pool in the half-mountain?”

Ling Jiu carefully moved over . The pool was not big, about half the size of a basketball court . Just as Ling Jiu got close, he felt a bone-chilling aura coming from the pool, and he could not help but shudder .

“What’s going on with this pool, it’s so cold!”

Just when Ling Jiu was doubtful, an alluring fragrance suddenly came out from the pool and woke Ling Jiu up .

“The hell?”

Ling Jiu turned to the pool and saw the pool water roiling violently . The next moment, a giant turtle shell covered with spikes appeared from the pool, and following that was a menacing-looking head riddled with abscesses .

“The Giant Snapping Turtle!”

Ling Jiu’s heart shrank as he took a few steps back .

Its head was large, and the spike-riddled shell on its back was no smaller than a van, with its sharp thorns and abscesses, this Giant Snapping Turtle was full of visual impact .

What makes a monster?

This was a bloody monster true and true!

“How do you even kill a snapping turtle this big, with that big-ass shell?”

Ling Jiu felt a sudden headache . There were two traits that made the Giant Snapping Turtle terrifying, its formidable defense, and horrifying bite force .

The turtle shell’s defensive capabilities allowed it to ignore most physical attacks, and its powerful snapping bite made it easy for it to tear an ordinary Class 1 or Class 2 Direbeast into two .

“It’ll be tricky to deal with it, but it’s not like there’s no way . It’s very slow!” Ling Jiu’s eyes twinkled, and he had a plan in mind .

After staring at Ling Jiu for a while, and seeing Ling Jiu did not continue to close in on the pool, the Giant Snapping Turtle dove back into the pool and had no intentions of leaving it .

It staying put was just what Ling Jiu wanted . He found a suitable spot not too far from the pool and started to dig a hole .

Soon after, a giant pit 20 meters wide and 10 meters deep was formed . Ling Jiu then covered the pit with a layer of topsoil . As long as the Giant Snapping Turtle falls into this pit, it was basically a foot in on death’s door .

Ling Jiu returned to the edge of the pool, and with a wave of his hand, one stone after another was tossed into the pool, kicking up waves .

This was a provocation!

A bare-faced provocation!

He wanted to provoke the Giant Snapping Turtle, and lure it out of the pool, and what Ling Jiu did, had most certainly infuriated the Giant Snapping Turtle .
