Chapter 243 Escape
Deep in the dark cave, a pair of emerald green eyes flickered like ghostly lights, reflecting the doubtful faces of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. The deep roar came from the owner of the eyes, shaking the gravel on the top of the cave to fall.
Gao Xingchen protected Nan Li behind him and held the fine iron sword tighter. He could feel the power of this aura, which was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary beasts. With the weak light, he could see the appearance of the mysterious creature: it was as big as a hill, covered with dark golden scales, and had a pair of huge curved horns on its head, emitting a cold light.
"It's an ancient strange beast, the Sky-Swallowing Python!" There was a slight tremor in Nan Li's voice, and it was obvious that he had heard of this beast before.
The Sky-Swallowing Python seemed to sense their fear and let out a deafening roar. Its huge body moved slightly, but the wound on its body was pulled, and it let out a painful roar. Gao Xingchen then discovered that there was a deep wound on its abdomen that could see the bone, and it was bleeding. It was obviously seriously injured.
"It's injured." Gao Xingchen whispered, with a hint of worry in his tone. He saw pain and anger in the eyes of the Sky-Swallowing Python, but he did not sense any killing intent.
Gao Xingchen was born with a special affinity for animals. He slowly put down the sword in his hand and tried to communicate with the Sky-Swallowing Python in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions."
The Sky-Swallowing Python seemed to understand his words. It lowered its huge head slightly, and its emerald green eyes stared at Gao Xingchen, as if observing something.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his hand, palm up, to indicate that he had no weapon. He approached the Sky-Swallowing Python step by step, and his heart was hanging in his throat with every step. Finally, he came in front of the Sky-Swallowing Python and slowly placed his hand on the tip of its huge nose.
The tip of the Sky-Swallowing Python's nose moved slightly, and a warm breath sprayed on Gao Xingchen's face. Gao Xingchen could feel its body trembling, as well as the deep sadness and pain.
"You are injured. Who hurt you like this?" Gao Xingchen asked softly, his voice full of concern.
When the Sky-Swallowing Python heard his words, its huge head drooped weakly and it let out a low whine. Gao Xingchen closed his eyes and slowly integrated his consciousness into the Sky-Swallowing Python's mind. He saw that the village owner Sun, the insidious and cunning guy, used evil power to control the Sky-Swallowing Python and used it to attack the villagers. In the end, the Sky-Swallowing Python could not bear the torture and rose up to resist, but was seriously injured by the village owner Sun, the despicable villain.
"It was Village Chief Sun. He was the one who hurt you like this, right?" Gao Xingchen asked, his tone full of certainty.
When the Sky-Swallowing Python heard the words "Master Sun", its eyes were suddenly filled with hatred. It struggled to raise its huge head and let out a deafening roar, as if accusing Master Sun of his crimes. The Sky-Swallowing Python's roar echoed in the cave for a long time. Gao Xingchen gently stroked its rough scales, feeling the sadness and anger coming from it. He knew that this giant beast needed help and needed an outlet to vent.
"We will avenge you." Gao Xingchen said firmly, his eyes meeting the Sky-Swallowing Python's emerald green eyes, "We will defeat Village Master Sun and give you your freedom!"
The Sky-Swallowing Python seemed to sense his determination, and its huge head rubbed Gao Xingchen's shoulder gently, as if responding to his promise.
"Let me take a look at its injuries." Nan Li's voice sounded behind him, with a hint of worry and determination.
She took out various herbs and bandages from her bag and began to treat the wound on the Sky-Swallowing Python's abdomen with skillful movements. The Sky-Swallowing Python was somewhat resistant at first, but after feeling Nan Li's gentleness and meticulousness, it gradually calmed down and let her do whatever she wanted.
Nan Li's movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was treating a precious work of art. She first cleaned the wound with clean water, then applied herbs that could stop bleeding and promote tissue regeneration, and finally bandaged it carefully with a clean bandage.
Gao Xingchen watched quietly from the side, his eyes full of admiration. He knew that Nan Li's medical skills were very superb, but seeing her treat this huge beast with his own eyes still made him feel shocked and admired.
"Alright." Nan Li let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Its injuries are very serious. It needs to rest for a while."
The Sky-Swallowing Python looked at Nan Li gratefully and let out a low roar, as if to express its gratitude.
"We have to find a way to leave here." Gao Xingchen looked around, frowning, "Village Master Sun will catch up soon."
"I know a way." The Sky-Swallowing Python suddenly spoke in a deep and rich voice, "I can take you out."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that this giant beast could actually speak.
"Do you know how to get out?" Gao Xingchen asked with a hint of hope in his tone.
The Sky-Swallowing Python nodded, and its huge body slowly moved to a stone wall deep in the cave. It lowered its head and gently touched the stone wall with its huge horn.
With a loud bang, a crack appeared on the stone wall. The crack grew bigger and bigger, and finally formed a narrow passage.
"Follow me." The Sky-Swallowing Python growled and took the lead in entering the passage.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and followed without hesitation.
The passage was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, but Gao Xingchen and Nan Li could feel that the aura of the Sky-Swallowing Python was always surrounding them, protecting them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a ray of light finally appeared ahead.
"The exit is just ahead!" Gao Xingchen said excitedly, quickening his pace.
However, when they walked out of the passage and came to the outside world, they were stunned by the scene in front of them... Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked out of the passage, and their eyes suddenly opened up. What appeared in front of them was not the dangerous jungle they had expected, but a valley like a paradise. The valley was filled with birdsong, flowers and gurgling streams, which formed a sharp contrast with the desolate scene outside the cave.
"Where is this..." Nanli looked around in surprise, unable to believe his eyes.
"This is my secret habitat." The Sky-Swallowing Python spoke in human language with a hint of pride in its voice, "This place is isolated from the world. Even Village Master Sun can't find it."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li finally understood why the Sky-Swallowing Python brought them here. Not only was the environment here beautiful, but it was also absolutely safe, making it the best place for them to recuperate.
"Thank you, Sky-Swallowing Python." Gao Xingchen said sincerely, "You saved us."
The Sky-Swallowing Python shook his head and whispered, "I just did what I should do. You are people who truly treat me, and I will not let you get hurt."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking air in the distance. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were startled, thinking that it was Village Master Sun who was chasing them, and they quickly took a defensive stance.
"Don't be nervous, we are one of us." said the Sky-Swallowing Python, turning its huge head towards the direction where the voice came from.
A green figure came flying with a sword, and landed in front of them in the blink of an eye. It was Immortal Wu.
"Master!" Gao Xingchen shouted in surprise and hurried to greet him.
"Master, are you okay?" Nan Li asked with concern.
Immortal Wu looked at the two people in front of him who were unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief: "It's good that you are all right, it's good that you are all right. I rushed here as soon as I got the news, luckily you are all okay."
"Thanks to the Sky-Swallowing Python." Gao Xingchen pointed at the giant beast beside him, "It was it that saved us."
Immortal Wu then noticed the Sky-Swallowing Python standing beside him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then turned to Gao Xingchen and asked, "What's going on?"
Gao Xingchen then told Immortal Wu in detail about how they encountered the Sky-Swallowing Python in the cave and how the Sky-Swallowing Python helped them escape.
After listening to this, Immortal Wu nodded and said to the Sky-Swallowing Python: "Thank you very much this time. You saved my apprentice and me as well."
The Sky-Swallowing Python shook his head and said, "You're welcome. I just did what I should do."
"Master, what should we do now?" Gao Xingchen asked, "Village Master Sun will not let this go."
"You are right." Immortal Wu's eyes flashed with a cold light, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack."
Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "Master, I want to go back to the animal training ground and expose Village Master Sun's crimes to the public. At the same time, I also want to find a way to treat Nan Li's injuries."
Immortal Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I support you. Let's go back and expose the true face of Village Master Sun and give you justice!"
The three of them looked determined, their hearts full of hope and fighting spirit. They believed that justice would eventually defeat evil, and light would eventually dispel darkness. But what kind of challenges would be waiting for them?
