Chapter 467 - It’s Coming

“What… is that?” stuttered Zheng Luo, obviously shaken.

Not just Zheng Luo, anyone who saw the python could not keep calm.

In the forest, their first thought when they saw a beast was: how will we kill it? How shall we distribute its meat? How to cook? What are its uses? Is its hide valuable?

However, when they saw this beast, although they could not see much through the falling snow at such a distance, the first thing they wanted to do was run.

It’s undefeatable! -this was Zheng Luo’s conclusion.

“It’s a snake?”

“Does a snake sound like that? Do snakes come out in this weather?”

The three chiefs discussed in a low voice.

Outside, the python-like beast burst out of the mines and fell unto the piece of land scattered with boulders outside the caves. Due to the thick blanket of snow, it almost looked like a flat piece of land now. However, after it landed, there was a rumble— as if they were random ornaments, the python effortlessly swept the boulders aside with its tail, clearing out a large area.

What Shao Xuan and the rest saw were pieces of rock flying in the air or tossed out of the way.

Duo Kang gulped once again. He wanted to speak but could not. This was the first time he felt this way in his life. He had met many ferocious beasts in the forest, yet compared to this one, they were nothing.

This beast could sweep large, hard boulders effortlessly. Could they even pierce through its skin with their weapons if it could withstand that?

The python king beast cleared the land wherever it passed, yet somehow avoided the salt mines. All the odd-shaped rocks were swept to a side, as if it was clearing a path for a reason.

Shao Xuan even saw shapes of humans swept away together with the rocks but these people did not even look alive. They were tossed around like non-living objects.

Those were the ones who ran.

The Fox chief had wanted to run with his men but they did not succeed.

The thick layer of snow and the boulders buried inside had slowed them greatly. Even if they wanted to escape the beast, they still had to make sure they did not fall unto a rock.

The beast was heading towards the Fox chief fast.

As she heard the beast approaching, the woman in his arms tugged at him. “Go back.” They could not run but they could risk returning into the cave.

The Fox chief furrowed his brows, unwilling to take the risk. However, the thick layer of snow was difficult to pass through, even breathing would be difficult after a while. After this patch, he would still have to pass the salt flats, which were more dangerous. He did not have food with him.

The lady tugged at him again and gave him a look. “We turn towards their side.”

The Fox chief clenched his teeth and turned instantly. They turned but did not return to their own cave. Instead, they ran towards the Shen cave. He swept his sword in front of him like a broom, sweeping the snow aside. When the blade hit rock, he went around it.

Some people saw him and followed.

They met the Shen chief and other people too, who probably had the same idea.

There were other people turning back to the Fox cave too.

Although they had escaped the beast, who was clearing its path, the threat was not over.
