Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1412 - 422: Hidden Mountain Array (Part 3)

Chen Yan sighed.

Indeed, when the treasure mountain is empty and the old acquaintances have passed, other things naturally occupy this treasure land.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan put down his climbing backpack, took out the mountain cleaver from inside and cradled it in his hand, with a pistol tucked at his waist, and continued to walk slowly inward.

The interior of the mountain was a path sloping downward, and the deeper he went, the concentration of Primordial Qi began to slowly rise.

The Primordial Qi seemed to flow, as if emanating from within.

However, as the concentration of Primordial Qi rose, the air carried a hint of fishiness that gradually became more apparent.

After approximately a few hundred steps inward, the mountain path suddenly opened up, revealing a cavernous mountain space.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and didn’t immediately proceed but instead took out a glow stick, snapped it to turn it red, and tossed it inside.

With this bit of light, Chen Yan, sharp-eared and keen-eyed as a cultivator, naturally took in the entire scene within the mountain cavity.

The mountain cavity was merely thirty to forty square meters, with the highest point about four to five meters high and the lowest under two meters.

At the very back of the mountain wall, a few segments of stalagmites emerged from the ground, and looking upward, Chen Yan’s gaze suddenly paused!

A stalagmite hung upside down from the top of the mountain wall, showing its head.

This particular stalactite was shaped as if perfectly round and smooth, with contours that looked pleasing from any angle, as if it held the spirit of the heavens and earth, drawing one’s gaze irresistibly.

What surprised Chen Yan even more was that this rich Primordial Qi was all flowing out from the upside-down stalagmite!

More astonishing still was the cluster atop the stalagmite; upon closer inspection, it was a blossom perched on the stalagmite tip!

The petals were crystalline and clear, seeming like jade, yet as transparent as glass.

On the flower’s pistil, there was an increasingly moist presence, and upon closer inspection, it was actually half a droplet about to fall.

This was likely not an ordinary stalactite; the liquid had an allure that held Chen Yan’s gaze!

The exuberant and dense Primordial Qi made Chen Yan’s heart race with excitement at just a glance!

But then, Chen Yan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the ripple in his heart.

Because, in this mountain cavity, there was something else!

Right beneath the hanging stalagmite, directly under the transparent flower...

An enormous mass coiled there, its body thicker than an adult male’s thigh, entangled in loops.

A diamond-shaped head faced upward with its mouth open, waiting directly beneath the transparent flower, seemingly anticipating the droplet’s fall!

This was a... python!

·

The python’s body was covered with faint golden patterns, measuring over five meters in length.

Within the open mouth, two distinct fangs could be seen.

Even more surprising to Chen Yan was that the python’s body carried subtle fluctuations of Primordial Qi, clearly having reached a considerable level of cultivation.

At the top of the python’s head, two flesh lumps protruded.

This was a sign of a mortal python cultivating Primordial Qi to a certain degree, on the verge of transforming into a serpent!

·

When Chen Yan came in, the python was actually still asleep, although it had stayed here for who knows how long, waiting to consume the liquid beneath the transparent flower, hence even in its slumber, it kept its mouth open.

At this moment, as Chen Yan arrived, the slumbering python suddenly opened its eyes.

Its massive head dipped abruptly, closing its mouth, and turned its head to stare at Chen Yan with large orange eyes.

Although it made no sound, Chen Yan’s Divine Sense instantly detected a deep malicious intent!

The malice wasn’t difficult to interpret, and Chen Yan immediately felt its meaning.

(Get out!)

Chen Yan laughed.

"Perfect timing; I haven’t had fresh meat in days. I wonder if the meat of a Primordial Qi-cultivated python is any good."

Chen Yan shook the mountain cleaver in his hand, smiling joyfully.
