Chapter 97: Wait, There's a Snake Delivery

Wei Yang shook his head, gathered his thoughts, and turned to look in one direction. 

There, a graceful white figure, with gray-white Dou Qi wings behind her, was carrying a petite light cyan figure in her hand, rapidly flying towards the mountain peak. 

Wei Yang smiled and waved at them. 

"Brother Yang." 

"Young Master." 

Swish! 

Xian'er retracted her wings and landed beside Wei Yang, putting down Qing Lin whom she was carrying. 

"Congratulate me, I succeeded." Wei Yang smiled, opening his arms. 

Both girls showed happy smiles, their faces slightly red, as they fell into his embrace. 

... 

In the distance, ten miles away. 

A massive, long, black shadow slowly slithered, approaching silently. 

A pair of light golden vertical pupils, as large as a buffalo turtle, contained coldness, violence, and excitement. 

Its triangular flat head slightly raised, a snake's tongue flicking gently, staring dead toward the mountain peak, where three figures were embracing, bathed in moonlight. 

Finally, found them! 

Excited in its heart, its eyes were slightly red. 

A year! 

It had been looking for a whole year! 

Not easy, eh~ 

In this desert, it wandered for a whole year before finally finding them. 

Damn, cowardly humans! 

If it hadn't vaguely seen the sky night adorn with a bizarre sun and moon spectacle from afar earlier... 

Curious after cautiously approaching due to a faint scent of life it caught in the air, it wouldn't have found them. 

Today, it must eat them! 

I'm coming. 

Hiss~ 

.... 

On the mountaintop, Wei Yang was about to relax and rest with the two girls in tow. 

With the successful fusion of a different flame, the goal of this journey was accomplished. Now they could relax for a few days. 

Suddenly. 

Hmm? 

Wei Yang turned, sharply gazing in one direction. 

There was a murderous intent! 

In that direction, at the base of Wind Rock Hill, within the shadows, a flicker of seemingly absent murderous intent was detected by him—seemingly something was stealthily approaching. 

Furthermore, within that flicker of murderous intent, Wei Yang vaguely sensed a hint of familiarity. 

"Brother Yang?" Xian'er questioned in confusion. 

Her gaze followed Wei Yang's but found no anomaly. 

Wei Yang slowly smirked, his eyes turning deep black, emitting faintly eerie light, a hint of a black flame jumping within. 

"Xian'er, it seems we might need to stretch our muscles a bit tonight." 

Wei Yang chuckled, "That beast has come looking for us, probably attracted by the previous phenomenon." 

"That beast?... it's it!" Xian'er first got stunned, then realized. 

In the depths of this desert life-forbidden zone, the one coming for them at this time, would likely be the peak-tier fifth-ranked King Cobra they encountered a year ago. 

"Is it that big-eyed snake?" Qing Lin exclaimed softly. 

"Hehe." Xian'er immediately laughed. 

Wei Yang also laughed. 

This time was different from the past. 

Not to mention Xian'er, already a nine-star Dou Wang peak. 

Just Wei Yang, with a seven-star Dou Wang and the newly refined different flame, was enough to handle it! 

"Since it came to us, it's perfect to settle old and new scores together, saving us the trouble of finding it." 

Wei Yang stretched his body, saying: "Qing Lin, wait here, I'll catch a pet for you." 

Swish! 

His black flaming Dou Qi wings unfolded behind him, and with a shift, he turned into a stream of black light rushing through the air. 

Swish! 

Behind, Xian'er in white with silver hair also unfolded her gray-white Dou Qi wings, swiftly following. 

"Young Master, Sister Xian'er, be careful..." Qing Lin watched them leave, biting her lip lightly, hands clenched into fists, murmuring. 

She was very unwilling, feeling too weak to help at all. 

She also envied that Sister Xian'er could fight alongside Young Master. 

... 

Beside her, Xian'er also caught up, her gaze also directed downward. 

Here, she finally faintly sensed a deeply hidden dangerous aura lurking in the shadows at the hill's foot. 

"This snake beast, such a master at lurking stealth!" Xian'er was surprised. 

Unexpectedly, this seemingly violent and vicious King Cobra had such profound stealth methods. 

If Brother Yang didn't have a strong soul and sensitive perception, they might indeed have been ambushed successfully tonight! 

In this lifeless desert, having lived here for a year without any accidents or dangers happening normally, one naturally might get a bit complacent. 

"What? Not planning to show up yet?" Wei Yang sneered downward. 

Instantly, a pair of light golden pupils started to glow in the darkness. 

Hiss~ 

Along with the soft sound of a snake's tongue flicking, an enormous triangular flat head slowly emerged from the dark shadows. 

Its eyes locked onto the two small figures hovering in mid-air, within its pupils shrank slightly. 

Only one year apart, the beast's natural instincts made it acutely feel a faint dangerous aura from those two annoying humans. 

Especially the one with black flaming wings, giving it a deeper sensation. 

For, the beast fire within it trembled softly, exuding a fear of submission! 

This feeling! 

That human's fire changed, a year ago, it was dark red, not so powerful. 

Now, it switched to black flame? 

This flame, very dangerous! 

Moreover, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. 

The King Cobra's vertical pupils fixated on the black flaming wings behind Wei Yang, seemingly awakening a long-buried memory in its mind. 

A not so pleasant, painful, unwilling-to-recall past... 

Long ago, newly evolved into a fifth-rank beast, it once tried swallowing a black sun! 

Yes, it once swallowed the sun. 

And survived. 

But since then, it never came back here. 

That unpleasant memory was deeply buried in its mind, nearly forgotten, or subconsciously avoided. 

Now. 

Its vertical pupils rotated, examining the surrounding terrain, finding increasing coincidences with a certain scene in its memory. 

Recalling the sun-moon phenomenon seen earlier from afar. 

Finally, it slowly linked everything together. 

That deeply buried memory was completely resurfaced by it. 

Sun and Moon phenomenon. 

Black Sun! 

!!! 

Fear flashed through the King Cobra's pupils, its body trembled slightly, instinctively wanting to retreat. 

At this moment, its mind had retreated, wishing to immediately distance itself from here. 

As for those two annoying humans, deal with them another day. 

... 

Sensing the King Cobra's fear and retreat, Wei Yang raised an eyebrow, extending both hands, ten fingers splayed open. 

Boom~ 

Black flames roared in his palms, leaping and burning. 

Noticing the King Cobra's heightened fear due to the flames in his hands, Wei Yang laughed: "Kekekeke~ Seems you've been tormented by this flame before, survived, lucky you!" 

He marveled at how tough these snake beasts' lives were. 

Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake swallowed the Green Lotus Core Flame, survived. 

This King Cobra swallowed Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, survived. 

Moreover, it's suspected to have contacted Wind Fury Dragon Flame, truly tough! 

"Planning to escape now? Since you're here, you might as well stay!" Teasingly watching its head slowly retreat into the shadows, Wei Yang spoke. 

He manipulated the black flame, forming three near twenty-meter-long fiery black dragons swiftly. 

Roar~ 

As the three dragon heads roared, powerful aura completely unveiled, locking onto the King Cobra. 

They appeared lifelike, full of spirituality, almost like living creatures.
