Chapter 240: Bei Feng's Conjecture

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Bei Feng refused to believe that he couldn't lure the beast out!

As he reeled in the line, the distance between the meat and the lava became further apart.

"Sha!"

A fiery red snake as thick as an adult's thigh suddenly shot out of the lava lake and snapped its jaws over the piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat which had reached about three meters in the air!

The portion of the snake's body which had been revealed above the lava lake was already over three meters long. The rest of its body remained under the lava. It was obvious that the scorching lava was completely ineffective against the large snake!

Bei Feng rubbed his nose and chuckled. 'So what if you're formidable? Aren't you still caught by me?'

The weight and strength of a snake of such size was naturally extremely shocking. But to Bei Feng, it might as well be weightless. The weight mitigation ability of the Grade 3 Fusang Wood Fishing Rod was much improved over the previous fishing rods. Given the overpowered utility of the rod, he would not even frown if there was a small mountain hanging on the line!

The huge red snake turned completely rigid upon biting down on the hook, and was easily pulled ashore by Bei Feng. Without a second word, he sent the flying dagger through the snake's head!

"Chi, chi!"

A stream of blood flew high into the air, scorching everything it came into contact with. The pitch-black platform also melted slightly and formed tiny air bubbles. From the looks of it, the snake's blood had some kind of corrosive qualities.

The huge snake was over five, six meters long. At this time, its long body was threshing wildly about on the ground while its head remained stuck on the hook.

The monotonous voice of the System also rang out in Bei Feng's mind.

"Ding! Grade 2 Demonic Beast, Lava Python obtained! (This Demonic Beast enjoys living in lava lakes. Its skin is highly resistant to heat, and the meat is poisonous and inedible. The snake gall can be used to brew medicinal wine which has the effect of purifying one's eyes and improving vision! The snake gall contains a large amount of energy, and can also be eaten raw.) Experience gained: 0!"

"Impressive. What a magical creature! It's only a Grade 2 Demonic Beast, but it can actually live in the lava lake. What an enviable ability!"

Bei Feng sighed lightly as he retreated far away from the threshing snake. Half an hour later, the lava python's body finally stopped moving. Only the tail would twitch lightly from time to time.

After confirming that the snake was truly dead, Bei Feng went closer and examined it.

This lava python was extremely brightly colored. Strangely, it did not have any scales on its skin. Its tail was slender and flexible, yet hard. It was completely capable of piercing through a human's body with ease.

Using the flying dagger, Bei Feng cut the lava python's body open and retrieved a thumb-sized fiery red snake gall, which he kept into his spatial ring.

After that, he proceeded to skin the snake. The lava python's skin was very thin, being only somewhat thicker than a sheet of paper. However, its tenacity and toughness were pretty good. The skin felt slightly icy to the touch, and was incredibly smooth.

When that was done, Bei Feng directly kicked the lava python's body back into the lava lake. Stripped of its skin, the lava python's body was set ablaze in an instant!

Without the protection of its skin, this lava python had no ways of resisting the intense heat of the lava!

Bei Feng removed the snake's head from the hook and threw it back into the lava lake as well.

Then, he repeated the same thing all over again. He placed a new piece of meat on the hook, and continued fishing.

One day passed like that, and Bei Feng had already caught over 1000 lava pythons!

At the beginning, he would only catch one every half an hour. But now, because of some weird phenomenon, he would virtually get a bite the instant he threw the bait out!

Bei Feng's method had become more cruel and efficient. He directly skinned the lava pythons alive and retrieved their gall before throwing the threshing snake back into the lava.

"Just how many lava pythons are there in this lava lake? It's a good thing that I did not move too recklessly earlier. The lava pythons are somehow unable to come ashore as well. Otherwise, it'll be extremely troublesome."

The more lava pythons he fished up, the more shocked Bei Feng became. This lava lake seemed to be filled with an endless number of lava pythons!

Right now, the lava lake before him resembled a huge snake pit. It was literally packed full of wriggling snakes!

Countless thick and ferocious-looking lava pythons could be seen swimming about the lava. From time to time, there were even traces of a huge lava python with a body as wide as a water vat.

"This is not working. The number of lava pythons is too many! Furthermore, there is quite a number of lava pythons comparable to Xiantian Lords in might!"

Bei Feng furrowed his brows with annoyance. Who knew if there were even more formidable creatures beneath the lava? If a monster exceeding the Xiantian realm in strength were to appear, how was he supposed to fight it?!

Seeing the huge number of snakes in the lava lake, Bei Feng would not be surprised if there was really some existences above a Xiantian Lord in there.

Although the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi on Earth had become increasingly sparse, and it should be nearly an impossible task for the living beings to achieve the Controlled Dan stage, there were always exceptions. In addition, one should not forget about those old freaks who achieved Controlled Dan a few hundred years ago when Heaven and Earth Ling Qi was more bountiful. Those creatures could not have all died, right?

A Xiantian Lord had a lifespan of 200 years, while Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts had lifespans as long as 400 years!

This lava lake could be considered a safe spot, and the lava pythons had been cultivating and multiplying here in peace for an inestimable number of years already. In addition, there was the existence of the red vine and its fruits. Thus, there was a 90% possibility that this lava lake contained a least one Controlled Dan level lava python!

Even if there weren't any creatures above the Xiantian level of power there, Bei Feng was still unable to reach the other lava lake.

Suddenly, the lava lake began to rumble as the group of lava pythons threshed wildly. The platform around the golden lava lake was completely flooded and in the blink of an eye, the golden lava lake was occupied by the snakes.

Even if he managed to go down right now, he would be surrounded and killed. An individual's strength was limited. He could not battle forever, and would be exhausted and killed eventually.

Not to mention, there were those lava pythons with strength comparable to Xiantian Lords. Those were the truly tricky fellows!

Generally, Demonic Beasts were all born with stronger bodies than humans. The amount of blood and Qi energy their bodies could hold also vastly surpasses humans'. Furthermore, they usually had sturdy scales or tough skins to bring up their defensive abilities!

Taking all that into account, Bei Feng's full power Bear Form Style strike might not even be able to slay an early stage Xiantian lava python!

The flying dagger could kill these beasts, but the mental power expenditure was too high. He might be able to kill one, or even ten. But what about a hundred? Or a thousand? How was he supposed to deal with all of them?

Right now, the area 200 meters around the red vine was a completely isolated area. Not even a single lava python dared to trespass within!

"Looks like my conjecture was right. Even those Xiantian level lava pythons do not dare to go within 200 meters of the red vine."

Bei Feng shook his head. From the looks of it, his chances of obtaining that fruit were nil. The fact that those lava pythons did not dare to go near the red vine signified that there had to be a powerful Demonic Beast commanding them, not allowing them near its treasure!

Bei Feng had also given up on the fruit. If he somehow drew the super Demonic Beast out and aggravated it, he would really be in trouble.

"My objective in coming here has been met after all, so it's not considered a wasted trip. I even got to bring some of the local produce back home!"

Bei Feng patted his spatial ring and suppressed his greed. His profits from this trip was not bad, and he also accomplished what he'd come here to do.

As for the spirit fruit, if he could obtain it, that would naturally be a good thing. But with the way things had progressed, he had to forget about it. Reaching too far was simply seeking death!

But since he was already here, Bei Feng was unwilling to just leave like this.

"I'll leave this fruit here for now and come back when my cultivation reaches a higher level. As for these snaky sons and snaky grandsons, I'll take the opportunity to sort them out a little. It can be considered as ridding myself of some future trouble!"

Bei Feng calmed his heart and took out a small piece of meat the size of a pinky toe, attached it to the hook and cast the line out.

With the huge number of lava pythons here, to use meat as big as an infant's fist as bait every time would be too great an expenditure!
