Chapter 475: The Reappearance of the Wild Beast
Forty-nine days had passed. Aside from taking some pills in a semi-conscious state a few times, Qingwen had not awakened. He sat in seiza position, his body twitching from time to time. Yet, the aura emanating from him grew increasingly powerful—this was the main reason why Zijin gave up trying to wake him.
Forty-nine days far exceeded the normal timeframe mentioned by Ye Feng, which made Zijin even more anxious.
Ye Feng was also very curious about what species Qingwen would evolve into and wanted to know the origins of Qingwen’s ancestors. “What kind of bloodline lies hidden within him?”
Hearing Ye Feng’s question, Zijin frowned slightly, seemingly considering whether to tell him, but he quickly made up his mind. “His bloodline originates from a wild beast—a Purple-Striped Green Python. It is said to be a serpent-type magical beast that existed even before the dragons were born.”
“So it’s a wild beast…” Ye Feng looked enlightened. He had heard somewhat about wild beasts from Xiao Yu and was well aware of their strength.
“You’ve heard of wild beasts?” Zijin looked at Ye Feng curiously. “What do you know about them?”
“Wild beasts were among the first life forms to appear in the universe at the beginning of time, almost coexisting with the ancient sages who created the world. They possess great strength, immense wisdom, and outstanding talents. They were once the rulers of the universe,” Ye Feng replied casually.
“I don’t even have any records of these in my inherited memories. How do you know about them?” Zijin’s gaze toward Ye Feng became peculiar.
“There are many books in the human world. I just happened to come across them,” Ye Feng concealed the truth.
“In my inherited memories, there are few records about wild beasts, only vague mentions that they were extremely powerful beings in ancient times. The records of the Purple-Striped Green Python are limited to just its name. Have you seen any records about it?” Zijin was eager to know what Qingwen would evolve into.
Just as Ye Feng was about to say he didn’t know, a slight disturbance arose in his mental sea, followed by a passage of text and images appearing before his eyes.
“The Purple-Striped Green Python, a wild beast, one of the progenitors of giant serpent-type divine beasts and magical beasts. Its body is covered in green scales, with circular purple stripes at its seven-inch-long section. It is highly venomous, has sharp fangs, and its physical strength ranks among the top 100 among tens of thousands of wild beasts. Its innate ability allows it to passively enter a frenzied state under extreme emotional instability—where the purple stripes at its seven-inch section spread throughout its body, turning it entirely purple. Its physical strength, power, and speed all increase tenfold during this state, with the duration depending on its cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the duration and the greater the chance of such an outbreak…”
Ye Feng skimmed through the information about the Purple-Striped Green Python. It was the first time he had seen details about a wild beast in a martial arts scripture.
Zijin noticed Ye Feng’s distraction and asked, “Blade, have you ever read any records about the Purple-Striped Green Python?”
Ye Feng shook his head. “I was just recalling the content of that book I saw earlier. There were no relevant records.”
He chose to hide the truth because he knew that once he revealed the secret of the Purple-Striped Green Python, it would be difficult to get Zijin to release him. Qingwen, who already had the cultivation level of a progenitor god, would surely see a significant boost in strength if he evolved into a wild beast, which would greatly help him achieve his goals.
“Do you have anyone else among your subordinates with a special bloodline?” Ye Feng tried to poach more talent. However, the three of them clearly saw his intentions and firmly shook their heads in denial.
“Cheap…” Ye Feng muttered under his breath, though he knew the five people present could hear him. But they pretended not to.
At that moment, Qingwen’s condition finally changed. His clothes quickly tore apart, revealing his true form. His original body, hundreds of feet long, continued to grow until it reached tens of thousands of feet in length. Yet the color of his scales was completely different from before—now entirely green, with only purple stripes at the seven-inch section.
The giant serpent let out a loud roar, causing all the magical beasts in the Dark Valley, Nightmare Forest, and Silent Lake to become agitated.
“What’s going on? Why do I have this strange feeling?” A panda sitting on a tree seemed to be talking to himself. “It seems like some powerful ancient being has awakened…” It was none other than Bernard.
“It’s a wild beast…” On his shoulder, a fiery-red bird calmly stared at the source of the disturbance. “A new wild beast has been born… This aura seems to be that of the Purple-Striped Green Python…” That bird must be Xiaoyu.
“Is it that strong?” Xiao Bei seemed unconvinced.
“It’s not bad! They’re good at using poison and can also go into a frenzied state,” Xiao Yu nodded.
“Didn’t it just be born? Why do I feel its cultivation level is at the level of an Ancestral God?” Xiao Bei’s intuition was indeed correct.
“I’m not sure. Logically, it shouldn’t be this strong. A Purple-Striped Green Python in its early stage can’t be this powerful. This one must be in its growth phase…” Xiao Yu tilted her head, clearly puzzled.
“How about we go take a look?” Xiao Bei grew eager.
“There are three powerful magical beasts at the peak of Ancestral God level guarding nearby. Don’t you sense their auras?” Xiao Yu gave the chubby panda a disdainful look.
“I do sense them. They must be some kings in the area. If we go over there and a fight breaks out, we really have no chance of winning,” Xiao Bei was also very self-aware.
“However, that direction seems to be east of Sent City,” Xiao Yu suddenly remembered. “I guess the boss has started negotiations.”
“Could that beast be created by the boss?” Xiao Bei proposed a bold hypothesis.
“It’s possible. That beast appeared out of nowhere, and its bloodline isn’t 100% pure,” Xiao Yu nodded as well. It was rare for the two to agree on something.
“Let’s sneak a peek from afar!” Bernard still wanted to see.
“What if we get discovered?” Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment. Actually, he was conflicted too, eager to see what was going on and how that beast appeared out of nowhere.
“If we get caught, we can just fight…” Bernard said casually. “If we really can’t win, we can always run away, right?”
“I should be able to escape…” Xiao Yu said, glancing at Bernard’s round belly.
“Laughing at me? What skill is that? My speed may not be as fast as yours, but if you can escape, I can too,” Bernard said angrily, holding his belly.
“I know. You can use earthescape. Running away is a piece of cake for you,” Xiao Yu laughed. “Come on, let’s go join in the fun!”
