Chapter 78 Azure-Scaled Giant Python
Under the cover of night, Cheng Feng and his two companions boarded a bamboo raft and sailed downstream.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling held torches, providing some light for Cheng Feng, who was rowing the boat.
The stream flows at a steady pace, and the sounds of insects chirping and water mingling together create a symphony of nature.
"Cheng Feng, what do you think about us going to Northeast China?"
Chen Wenjin's words broke the tranquility and suggested a place she thought was suitable for hiding.
Cheng Feng didn't think much of it and casually replied, "Sure, it's a good opportunity to try some authentic Northeastern cuisine."
In later generations, Northeastern cuisine was drastically altered and lost its original form.
For example, in the case of chicken stew with mushrooms, the mushrooms used during this period are not from a hen, but from a 'flying dragon'.
In addition, there are orchid bear paw, monkey head bear paw, multi-flavored deer antler, steamed deer tail, and so on.
Just from the name, you can tell that if you want to eat there in the future, you'll have to risk going in.
It's not that strict now; as long as you're willing to spend money, you can definitely eat many delicacies that future generations can only look on with envy.
Seeing Cheng Feng agree so readily, Chen Wenjin felt a pang of guilt, but it quickly subsided into calm.
"Since you agree, I'll plan the route after we get out."
After saying that, Chen Wenjin stopped talking.
Just then, Cheng Feng, who was punting the boat, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He instantly realized that something was watching him.
Ever since he obtained the bloodline of Emperor Yan, his sixth sense would frantically give him feedback whenever he encountered danger.
"Watch out! Something's watching us. Quick, get your flashlights out and check our surroundings!"
Cheng Feng immediately activated his Ghost Eye, put away the pole in his hand, and took out the golden spear he had used before.
Some lessons are learned only once, and he doesn't want to carry a hundred-pound thing to row a boat again.
Upon hearing Cheng Feng's warning, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling quickly dropped their torches and took out their flashlights, which were running low on power.
They began searching in all directions, trying to find what was targeting them.
Just as Huo Ling shone her flashlight into the water behind her, Cheng Feng quickly shouted, "Huo Ling, don't move! There's something in the water behind us!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenjin quickly shone her flashlight over, but they didn't notice anything unusual.
But Cheng Feng gripped his spear tightly, his expression turning slightly grave.
"I didn't intend to specifically seek you out to complete the mission, but I didn't expect that you would come to me on your own when I was about to leave."
Cheng Feng had already seen clearly that there was a large blue python underwater.
Its length is estimated to be over fifteen meters, and its thickest part is nearly two meters, making it much larger than a typical Titanoboa.
"Cheng Feng, what exactly did you see?"
At this moment, the two women had already raised their submachine guns and were aiming at the water behind them.
Cheng Feng didn't reply. He went to Chen Wenjin's side, took the flashlight from her, and shone it on a spot, saying:
"shot!"
The two women instantly pulled the trigger, and a large number of bullets hit the location indicated by Cheng Feng.
The next second, the water surface exploded with a roar, and a huge emerald green python opened its mouth and emerged from the water several meters high.
Upon seeing this, Chen Wenjin quickly moved the muzzle of his gun and fired at the head of the giant blue-scaled python.
Unfortunately, the bullets did not cause much damage when they hit the python's scales.
A large portion of the force was blocked by the scales, and in the end, it only caused some superficial injuries to the blue-scaled python.
"No, this python's scales are unusual; bullets will have limited effect on it!"
Seeing the giant python dive into the water and rush towards their bamboo raft, Chen Wenjin shouted urgently.
"Cheng Feng, let's find a way to get ashore first. It's too disadvantageous to fight it in the water!"
"That's too late……"
Halfway through his sentence, Cheng Feng suddenly stomped on the bamboo raft and leaped into the air.
Then, holding the spear in both hands, he suddenly thrust it into the stream in front of the bamboo raft.
With a whoosh, the golden spear sliced through the water and finally pierced the head of the giant blue-scaled python.
Despite the immense strength of Cheng Feng, even the tough scales of the Azure Scale Python could not withstand the slash from this spear.
The python, whose head was instantly destroyed, did not die immediately.
It suddenly raised its head and then slammed heavily onto the corner of the bamboo raft. The two women on the raft screamed as the overturned raft was swept into the stream.
Cheng Feng held onto the spear tightly, his legs clamped around the giant python to prevent himself from being thrown off by the impact.
Because of excessive force, the spear has been twisted into an S-shape. That's the downside of gold—it's too soft.
Gradually, the python's struggles weakened, and its massive body began to sink to the bottom of the water under the pressure of Cheng Feng and the spear.
Finally, Cheng Feng pressed its head down heavily onto the sand and rocks underwater.
'Ding~'
Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the mission to eliminate the Azure Scaled Python.
Do you want to claim the reward?
"Receive award!"
This time, Cheng Feng did not choose to postpone, but instead chose to claim the reward directly.
'Task Reward: Animal Affinity (Already Issued)'
After a notification sounded, a large number of flame totems suddenly appeared on Cheng Feng's body.
The flame patterns on his back began to merge, eventually forming an ancient pattern composed of the characters '禾' and '呈'.
Due to the restlessness in his blood, Cheng Feng felt incredibly strong at this moment.
He grabbed the python's head and then dragged its massive body across the water toward the shore.
When Cheng Feng climbed ashore, the two women, still dripping wet, were staring at the water from a short distance away with guns.
Upon seeing Cheng Feng, they immediately ran over.
"Cheng Feng, are you alright?"
Huo Ling put down her gun and ran to Cheng Feng's side, asking him with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng lifted the huge snake head onto the shore with a forceful pull.
The two women gasped in shock when they saw the grotesque head of the giant python.
"How did you get it up here?"
Chen Wenjin's eyelids twitched when he saw the golden spear on the snake's head, which looked like an ornament.
At this moment, the bloodline patterns on Cheng Feng's body dimmed and eventually disappeared into his body.
The two women weren't surprised because it wasn't the first time they'd seen Cheng Feng like this.
"Such a large python is extremely rare. I plan to have it preserved as a specimen and keep it as a collector's item!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng slowly pulled the giant python out of the water and onto the shore.
Now the two women could finally see the full appearance of the Azure Scaled Python.
"This guy is outrageous. A whole cow probably wouldn't be enough to feed him in one meal."
Huo Ling couldn't help but sigh.
"Right? It would be so impressive to have such a big thing at home!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng activated his Ghost Eye and placed the corpse of the Azure Scaled Python into the Imaginary Dimension.
And he ordered the snake mother and the Pure Vision Agama inside not to approach.
After dealing with the giant python, the three, soaking wet, looked at each other.
"The bamboo raft was swept away by the current, and we'll have to make another one to continue our journey."
Chen Wenjin helplessly wiped the water droplets from her face.
None of the three planned to spend the night there, so they could only follow Cheng Feng's lead and search for bamboo along the stream.
After much trouble, the three finally left the Insect Valley and arrived at the Nujiang River basin.
