Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future - Chapter 414 - 414 Corpse Poison Python

414 Corpse Poison Python

“They’re Corpse Poison Pythons,” Aloy said while staring at the snakes with a serious expression.

“Corpse Poison Pythons?” Shen Fei was stunned.

“The reason why these pythons are called venomous snakes is not just because they have venom, it’s also because their venom is extremely potent, especially the venom in their tails. Once contaminated, even a Saint-tier cultivator would succumb to it. If it’s a light dose, they’ll faint and become paralyzed. If it’s serious, they’ll die immediately.

“I once heard that even my ancestors, who were some of the most powerful Beastmasters, would choose to flee or hide when they encountered a Corpse Poison Python. After all, the Corpse Poison Python’s speed is too fast. It’s too late to escape unless you have incredible skill,” Qian Yu said.

!!
“Looks like we’re in trouble this time!” Aloy frowned.

Suddenly, a Corpse Poison Python shot forward. Like a crazed wild dog, it pounced toward Shen Fei and the others, spraying venom from its mouth. The venom spread across a wide area like a net and seemed to blot out the sky above, making it difficult for the humans to open their eyes.

Shen Fei summoned a Flaming Hammer of Heaven and waved it to resist the corrosion of the poisonous liquid. However, he still had to back away a few steps.

At this moment, the other Corpse Poison Pythons took the opportunity to rush toward Aloy.

“No…” Shen Fei’s eyes flickered with worry when he saw this.

At that moment, the Ice Spirit roared. Its entire body was flaring with an icy aura as it rushed toward the Corpse Poison Pythons.

“Ice Seal!” Aloy ordered.

A powerful chill spread out and covered the entire valley. The Corpse Poison Python’s bodies stiffened and froze in place. Before the pythons could react, their bodies were all shattered.

Shen Fei and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Fei schooled his expression. “Let’s hurry up and leave!”

They resumed their trek.

…

The three of them soon arrived outside a canyon. A series of rumbling sounds came from the depths of the canyon, and a huge passageway appeared in front of them.

The walls of this passage were covered with all kinds of strange patterns.

Shen Fei’s gaze swept over the passageway as he muttered to himself, “There’s something unusual about this tunnel.” “Be careful. There might be some danger inside,” he said to the others.

“Yes.” Qian Yu nodded.

Then, they all walked into the passageway, passed through it, and arrived at the other side.

The passage had led them to a palace. However, this new location was slightly different from the palace Shen Fei and Aloy had seen before; this palace was relatively spacious. Moreover, there were many weapons and treasure vaults inside.

One of the treasure chests was giving off a shocking glow. They opened the chest and found that the items inside were all precious spirit herbs. There were also piles and piles of crystals inside.

However, there were also several corpses littered around the palace. Clearly, these people were a group of human cultivators from an ancient era. Their possessions also seemed to be missing.

“These people were quite wealthy.” Shen Fei curled his lips.

“I’ll look around and see what else we can find!” Aloy ran off.

Soon, she came to a room and found ancient storage rings.

“They’re all shattered!” Her expression changed.

“Looks like something escaped,” Qian Yu said.

Shen Fei said indifferently, “Someone probably wanted to use these Beastmaster corpses to refine puppets.”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Then, a scorching and terrifying temperature swept out.

A huge creature scuttled out from the depths of the palace. It was a Hoofed Soul Beast.

This Hoofed Soul Beast had the strength of a higher-grade Count-rank beast, and the pressure it emitted was fearsome. It had a sharp horn on its scary-looking head, a purple scale grew over its forehead, and it had a pair of wings growing from its back.

It released a burning aura, and its red-gold eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty ferocity.

There were some Corpse Poison Pythons that had been following the group, hoping to avenge the previous group that was killed. However, when the Hoofed Soul Beast roared, the pythons disintegrated into powder and dispersed.

The Hoofed Soul Beast then charged toward Shen Fei and the others.

“Evil beast, don’t be so arrogant!” At this moment, Shen Fei coldly snorted. He waved the Flaming Hammer of Heaven and slammed it down.

Shen Fei and the Hoofed Soul Beast engaged in a fierce battle. Explosions sounded one after another. Sparks flew everywhere. The towering ancient trees around the palace structure were unable to withstand the burning of the Hoofed Soul Beasts and were destroyed.

Even though this Hoofed Soul Beast was strong, Shen Fei was fearless. The two of them were evenly matched.

“Ice Spirit, Miles of Ice! ” Aloy ordered.

The Ice Spirit activated its secret technique and used its Profound Truth of Ice ability to bolster its skills. A terrifying cold current rippled out and enveloped the Hoofed Soul Beast.

The Hoofed Soul Beast was about to be frozen when it let out a series of furious roars. Its body suddenly flared up with raging flames. This made it impossible for the frost to work on it.

Eventually, the Hoofed Soul Beast charged out of the layer of ice and roared at the Ice Spirit. Its monstrous flames surged out like a tidal wave and moved in to devour the Ice Spirit.

Aloy hurriedly ordered the Ice Spirit to execute a technique, “Frost Domain!”

In an instant, a white ice wall appeared in front of the Ice Spirit. The flames and the ice wall collided with a loud boom.

The Hoofed Soul Beast crazily waved its claws and continuously bombarded the ice wall. The ice wall collapsed inch by inch.

Seeing this, Shen Fei frowned. He shouted, ” Flame Owl, help the Ice Spirit!”

Immediately, the Flame Owl flapped its fiery red wings and charged in. It spat out a ball of scorching lava. The lava ball directly struck the Hoofed Soul Beast and sent it flying back.

The Ice Spirit took advantage of the situation to attack. It summoned an Ice Soul Spear and shot it at the Hoofed Soul Beast.

The Hoofed Soul Beast let out an ear-piercing cry. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out a pillar of fire, which was aimed at the Ice Spirit. This pillar of fire contained so much destructive force that the air around it became distorted.

The Ice Spirit’s Ice Soul Spear slammed into the pillar of fire, creating a loud boom, and another shockwave spread out.

Crack!

Ice shards flew everywhere as the Ice Soul Spear broke. The Ice Spirit was sent flying and crashed onto the ground. For the moment, it was unable to get up.

The Hoofed Soul Beast was also heavily injured. A bloody hole had been blasted into its body by the Ice Spirit. However, it could still leap up and charge at the Ice Spirit once more.

“Flame Owl, use Burning Skies Incantation!” Shen Fei shouted.

In an instant, the Flaming Hammer of Heaven was erupting with monstrous flames. Shen Fei held the hammer up and smashed it down at the Hoofed Soul Beast.

The hammer struck the Hoofed Soul Beast and sent it flying back. It fell heavily to the ground, dying.

But at that moment, a ball of purple-black flames suddenly emerged from the Hoofed Soul Beast’s body. The ball of flames rapidly expanded and turned into a purple-black flame lotus that floated in the air. The flame lotus bloomed with the same purple-black light.

It was like a bright sun shining in the sky, and it emitted an extremely terrifying aura.

Shen Fei’s expression changed slightly as he suddenly said, “Oh no, this demonic beast’s strength has actually reached the emperor realm, and it has summoned an Emperor’s Fire Lotus.”

Aloy and Qian Yu gaped at him.

“What do we do?”
