C422 Familiar
The sky gradually darkened, and the originally clear sky was instantly filled with dark clouds. The dark clouds pressed down on the city, causing everyone's breathing to become hurried.
"Sssss! Sssss! Sssss!" The dark clouds in the sky rolled and lightning flashed. The stagnant air was filled with a dangerous aura.
"This is?" Although Loong Wei did not know what was going on, he had already predicted that something big would happen very soon.
"Boom!"
The originally calm surface of the lake started to churn violently. A huge wave split open the calm surface of the lake. Something was rushing towards the shore from the lake. The creature was like a shark that was flying at a high speed. It was like a gust of wind that created waves as it charged towards Loong Wei.
Loong Wei's heart sank when he saw this. There was an extremely powerful force rapidly approaching from below the surface of the lake. The force was so strong that it even surpassed Jin Tai and Lei Xianming.
This unusual phenomenon was caused by the monster in the lake. Could it be that Hong Wennzhong, Shen Hong, and the others were here for this monster?
However, what was this mysterious creature in the lake? How could it cause such a huge change in the world, and even the Shenyinn Aristocratic Family to come here for it?
However, Loong Wei felt that the aura was somewhat familiar...
"Huala, huala!"
The sound of water hitting the shore was heard all of a sudden. A terrifying creature jumped out from the surface of the lake.
Its massive body was like a gigantic black dragon as it twisted and turned on the surface of the lake, causing one's heart to palpitate.
Its winding body was covered in black scales, and two lumps grew on its head. It seemed as if something was about to emerge!
It was only at this moment that Loong Wei saw the true face of this spirit beast.
It was actually that Python!
Loong Wei finally understood why he felt a sense of familiarity. This was the Python that Loong Wei had encountered in Qixia Mountain to protect the Seven Star Grass.
The current black python was about to withdraw from its body and transform into a flood dragon.
No wonder the people of Shenyinn Aristocratic Family had come here personally. A python transforming into a flood dragon was not as simple as shedding its skin. It was a great sublimation of the meaning of life.
No matter how powerful a python was, it was still a mortal. However, a flood dragon was a dragon seed, an existence that stood above all living things.
Even Loong Wei had only heard of the transformation of a python into a flood dragon, but he had never seen it before.
However, once this black python successfully transformed into a flood dragon, its strength would soar to the sky.
Back at Qixia Mountain, Loong Wei relied on his extremely powerful sword qi to barely intimidate this black python. Once it successfully transformed into a flood dragon, even Loong Wei at his peak might not be its match.
However, if he could seize the opportunity to subdue this Python, it would be a great help. With such a powerful spirit beast protecting him, he would naturally be able to do it without any disadvantages.
No wonder even the people of the Shenyinn Aristocratic Family couldn't help but attack.
When they saw the Python appear, everyone's heart trembled, and their eyes revealed greed.
Hong Wennzhong and the others were the first to attack. They rushed towards the Python in the lake.
If they wanted to subdue this Python, they had to capture it before it successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon. Once it transformed into a Flood Dragon, even if everyone present worked together, they might not be able to capture it.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle! "Hong Wennzhong and the others walked on the water and surrounded the Python in the blink of an eye.
On Hong Wennzhong's left was a fat middle-aged man, and on his right was an old man with an extraordinary aura. The three of them were eyeing the Python covetously.
"Disciples of the Hong Family, listen up. Set up a formation and trap this beast. I want to plant a slave control curse on its body!" Hong Wennzhong shouted and ordered.
"Yes!" The nine Hong Family disciples answered at the same time. Immediately, they formed a formation with the Nine Palace positions and surrounded the Python.1
Although the nine of them were weaker than the Python, they were able to trap the Python with the combined strength of nine people, making it difficult for them to move an inch.
However, right at this moment, the fat middle-aged man and the old man snorted coldly, "Hong Wennzhong, what do you mean? Don't tell me that you want to monopolize the Python and not put our Duanmu Family and Zhuge Family in your eyes?"
Both of their voices were deep and contained powerful inner energy. A loud shout almost shattered the inner energy of the Hong Family's disciples.
Hong Wennzhong's face darkened when he saw this. He asked in a stern voice, "Duanmu Kang, zhuge Jing, how dare you act so impudently in front of our Hong Family?"
The fatty whose name was Duanmu Kang sneered, "Hong, stop putting on airs here. Although your Hong Family is rude and unreasonable, our Duanmu Family is not to be trifled with. Have you asked me if you want to keep the Python for yourself?"
"Roar!" At this moment, the black Python let out a furious roar. There was a faint dragon roar and tiger roar mixed within, instantly breaking the formation of the Hong Family disciples.
Instantly, the heaven and earth shook. Everyone was overwhelmed with shock.
"Boom!" The Python opened its bloody mouth and lunged at Hong Zhicheng.
Hong Zhicheng instantly felt a gust of foul wind blowing against his face. He instantly became alert.
"How dare you, evil creature!" Hong Zhicheng let out a cold snort and waved his hand. In an instant, a violent gale roared, and the powerful wind directly neutralized the attack of the Python.
However, the black python didn't give up. It opened its mouth wide and instantly sucked up thousands of tons of lake water. Then, it bent its body and let out a fierce howl.
"Hualala!" The monstrous lake water shot toward Hong Wennzhong with lightning speed and incomparable power.
"Not good!" At this moment, even the proud Hong Wennzhong was startled.
He stood still, slightly leaned forward, and pushed forward with both hands.
"Ha!" Hong Wennzhong's voice was like a great bell, and suddenly a screen of air appeared in front of him, wanting to block the thousands of tons of lake water.
"Rumble!" The moment the two of them made contact, the energy wall instantly shattered, and Hong Wennzhong was swallowed by the lake water that filled the sky.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" When the lake water retreated, Hong Wennzhong had already been swept dozens of meters away, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hong Wennzhong stood up with difficulty, and shouted at Duanmu Kang and Zhuge Jing, who were not far away. "The three of us will work together, and we will discuss the ownership of this item after we succeed. What do you think?"
Duanmu Kang and Zhuge Jing looked at each other and responded, "That's exactly what I meant!"
There wasn't much time left. They had to capture it before the black python transformed into a flood dragon. The three of them working together was the best solution. As for after they succeeded, they weren't afraid that Hong Wennzhong would take it for himself. After all, duanmu Family and Zhuge Family were both Shenyinn Aristocratic Family. In terms of strength, they were definitely not weaker than Hong Family.
"Interesting." Loong Wei who was standing on the shore had a slight flicker in his eyes. His heart was palpitating with excitement.
This black python would soon transform into a flood dragon. Once it was subdued, it would definitely become an extremely powerful assistance to him. In the future, he would directly release the Python if he fought with someone else. With its strength, there was hardly anyone who could match it.
Moreover, subduing a flood dragon could even deter neighboring countries, making it not dare to rashly invade China.
However, Loong Wei did not understand what Hong Wennzhong was talking about, so he could only find another way.
Thinking of this, Loong Wei said directly to Jin Tai and Lei Xianming, "Help me with something."
Those two naturally could tell that Loong Wei was interested in that Python. The two of them were the same as well. They nodded and followed Loong Wei to the location of the Python.
Loong Wei kept scanning his surroundings as he moved. At this moment, Shen Hong was the only one who hadn't moved yet.
Shen Hong seemed to have sensed something. He looked in the direction where Loong Wei had come from and looked at each other. Shen Hong nodded at Loong Wei as a greeting.
Loong Wei also nodded in response. After that, he rushed towards the surface of the lake with Jin Tai and Lei Xianming.
