Ye Xiao didn't know what that Golden Brick was but he knew that it is at least a Low-Grade Mystical Rank treasure.
A mystical rank treasure was something difficult to find even in the imperial city of the Grand Xia empire let alone a Third Grade and Second Grade Country like the Azure Dragon Country and the Golden Fragrance Country.
He knew that only because of luck, he managed to get his hands on a treasure like the Golden Brick.
With a swing of his hand, the Golden Brick appeared. He looked at it and tried to check what kind of treasure it was. He used many methods but failed to find out the Golden Brick's ability.
Disappointed, he once again stored it back at the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
He then walked out from the secret location via the dark tunnel and after started to go deeper into the Cloudsmoke Forest.
According to his guess, the Azure Dragon Empire should be at the other side of the Cloudsmoke Forest so he did not hesitate in going deeper into the forest.
He also wanted to return to the place where the Barbaric Bull's King attacked him. He wanted to kill the Barbaric Bull's King as he still didn't forget how miserable he became after the attack of Barbaric Bull's King.
Half a day later, Ye Xiao had already walked more than thirty kilometres. The deeper he went into the Cloudsmoke Forest, the colder the surrounding aura became, giving off a sense of potential danger.
It was still noon, but the entire forest was extremely gloomy.
"Hua! Hua! Hua!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard the sound of water flowing. The sound was crisp and thick, like the roar of a majestic tiger.
"It should be a waterfall!"
Ye Xiao mumbled to himself as he hurriedly walked in the direction of the voice.
About ten minutes later, Ye Xiao finally arrived in front of the waterfall. When he raised his head, he saw a winding stream of water that looked like a true dragon coiled around it.
"Gulp!"
Ye Xiao couldn't help but gulp down a few mouthfuls of water. It was sweet and refreshing. After washing his face, Ye Xiao started to observe his surroundings. The scenery here was beautiful, quiet, and serene with lush plants growing everywhere.
"That's not right!"
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Ye Xiao abruptly snapped out of his daze as he furrowed his brows. This place looked very good, but it was filled with a faint sense of strangeness.
"It's too quiet!"
This kind of silence caused Ye Xiao to become increasingly vigilant. An ice-cold chill suddenly rose from behind him!
"Hiss!"
A strange sound rang out from behind Ye Xiao as if something sinister was staring at it.
Dodge!
Ye Xiao had no time to ponder over this as he directly circulated his spirit energy to dodge it.
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Just as he dodged, a green ray of light, accompanied by a strong stench and the sound of air scraping against each other, quickly shot towards the stone where Ye Xiao was sitting.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The rock had actually been corroded, forming a pit that continued to emit green smoke.
What a terrifying poison!
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the venom attack had missed, a figure instantly dashed out from behind the waterfall and appeared in Ye Xiao's line of sight.
This was a terrifying giant snake. Its body was ten feet long and green all over. Its bloody mouth continuously let out scarlet tongues, causing people to shudder.
"Fifth Grade Magical Beast!" Ye Xiao's expression changed as he turned and ran without any hesitation.
This Fifth Grade Magical Beast was called the Green Flame Python. It was extremely powerful and had a poisonous body, so even a drop of it would be enough to cause a person to perish.
Moreover, this fellow's snake-skin was extremely tough. Unless one was a Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, there was no way one could defeat it. When he thought about the power of Green Flame Python, Ye Xiao worked even harder to circulate the spirit energy within his body to increase his speed.
"Hiss!"
The Green Flame Python's eyes revealed a murderous look as it continued to spew out venom and gave chase. It did not seem to plan on letting Ye Xiao go that easily. It wanted to kill him.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Streams of venom sprinkled around Ye Xiao's body, corroding everything in their path as green smoke billowed out.
"Bam!"
At this moment, a nearby tree was corroded by the poison. It abruptly snapped at the waist, blocking Ye Xiao's path.
"Shua!"
The Green Flame Python took the opportunity and bit down at Ye Xiao with its huge head. There was no way to dodge it!
Ruthlessness flashed past Ye Xiao's eyes as the spirit energy in his body surged like a tide. His right foot stomped on the ground as it split the ground, violently punching out.
Mountain Collapsing Fist!
"Boom!"
As his fist struck out, the air exploded with a sound of an explosion, creating a sluggish air current. The sound was extremely powerful. But it didn't cause much damage to the Green Flame Python.
Hiss! Hiss!
Green Flame Python only stooped for a moment and the second moment, it angrily hissed at Ye Xiao and with an extremely fast speed, this Green Flame Python pounced toward him.
"F*ck! Why is my luck so bad?" Ye Xiao dodged to a side, avoided the fatal blow of the Green Flame Python. Then he turned and fiercely smashed down with another punch!
This time, he executed this punch while covering his hands with the Beast Fire. And not only that, the instant he attacked, his hand also transformed into dragon claws, making his fist attack even more terrifying.
"Aoo!"
The powerful fist force penetrated the Green Flame Python's skin and penetrated its body, causing it to scream miserably.
However, before Ye Xiao could rejoice, the Green Flame Python's tail swept over him mercilessly and landed on his body.
"Pfft!"
The mountain-like force caused Ye Xiao to spit out blood. His body was like a thousand jin boulder as it flew out horizontally.
"Bang! Bang!"
Ye Xiao's body slammed into a large tree one after another. After flying for over thirty meters, he finally collapsed onto the ground.
"Cough! Cough!"
Ye Xiao coughed, as he struggled to stand up. A bitter smile appeared on his face.
"My strength is still too weak. If only I can breakthrough to at least at the Martial King Realm, I am sure I can kill it!"
Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs' in this world!
The Green Flame Python recovered, raised its head and roared, and pounced towards him once again.
Ye Xiao clenched his teeth and madly circulated the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. He also took out a Jade Lotus and swallowed it which helped him alleviating the pain on his body.
"Whoosh!"
When the Green Flame Python once again pounced toward him while its mouth wide open, Ye Xiao also took the initiative to attack!
"Wings Of The Divine Dragon!"
A pair of beautiful black dragon wings grew out from Ye Xiao's back and flapping it, Ye Xiao flew in the air, dodging the attack of the Green Flame Python. After dodging the attack of the Green Flame Python, Ye Xiao flew down rapidly at the back of the Green Flame Python while extending his dragon's claws forward.
"Sacred Finger Art!"
Sensing a great danger, The Green Flame Python swept its tails toward Ye Xiao. It was unable to dodge Ye Xiao's attack so it chose to attack Ye Xiao with its tail.
The serpent tail swept out, aiming straight for Ye Xiao's claws!
"Bang!"
"Chiiii!"
Both of their attacks collided with each other. Ye Xiao's dragon finger directly pierced into the tail of the Green Flame Python. Ye Xiao's dragon finger did not stop after piercing in the tail of the Green Flame Python, it continued to pierce until his finger came out from the other side of the Green Flame Python's tail, making a huge hole in it.
"Roar!"
"Ahh!"
Both Ye Xiao and the Green Flame Python roared and screamed simultaneously in pain.
The Green Flame Python roared because it suffered a serious injury because of Ye Xiao's attack. It did not believe that Ye Xiao's attack which was like an ant's attack in its eyes, managed to injure him to this extent.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao screamed because he felt that his shoulder was burning like hell. He felt that not only his shoulder but almost half of his body was burning as if a terrifying flame was burning him.
His only unaffected part on the affected half of his body was his hand which was now a dragon's claws. Only it was unaffected.
Ye Xiao looked closely and found that only those parts of his body were burning that came in contact with the blood of the Green Flame Python.
