Tyron was taken aback by Adrian's impulsive plan. The situation seemed precarious, and any mistake could be disastrous.Adrian smiled faintly and said, "Tyron, sometimes you have to take risks to gain rewards. We'll stay at a safe distance. We can’t afford to advance recklessly."This cautious approach seemed wise. Tyron hesitated but understood Adrian’s underlying message: observe from a distance and act only if an opportunity arose. After a moment’s consideration, Tyron nodded.As the pair moved forward cautiously, they soon felt the tremors of a fierce battle ahead. The sounds of a brutal clash echoed through the forest, with the ground shaking as if the surroundings were on the brink of destruction.They drew closer and sensed the immense power at play. Adrian stopped by a large tree and, feeling the overwhelming force, grasped Tyron's arm. "We shouldn’t advance any further. Look." He pointed into the distance.Tyron saw two colossal figures locked in battle—a Crimson Blood Py
Adrian was slightly surprised by Tyron’s knowledge. “I didn’t expect you to be so well-informed, Tyron. It does sound quite terrifying.”Tyron gave a faint smile and replied, “I enjoy reading a lot.”For Tyron, this knowledge wasn’t crucial. What mattered more was watching the two powerful beings inflict serious damage on each other so they could seize the opportunity to grab the herb.The Crimson Blood Python and the Phoenix Blood Bird continued their fierce battle. The python’s massive tail coiled around the phoenix, while the bird unleashed devastating flames on the snake.“It seems like there’s still no clear winner,” Tyron remarked.Adrian smiled calmly. “It’s not time yet. These beasts are formidable. If we act too soon, we might regret it. We need to wait for the right moment.”Moments later, the two beasts unleashed their strongest attacks. Thunderous roars echoed through the sky, causing the Pleiades Herb in the distance to sway precariously.Adrian smirked coldly. “The
The Phoenix Blood Bird's aura had visibly weakened. Adrian was on the verge of taking action, but he realized that charging out recklessly could lead to severe consequences.“Adrian, I can sense that the Phoenix Blood Bird is weakening. Should we make our move?” Tyron asked, his gaze fixed on the tempting Pleiades Herb and the treasures of the two beasts.Adrian replied, “Tyron, now is not the time to act impulsively. This beast is not an ordinary opponent. Charging in could have disastrous results, especially if we end up giving an advantage to those lurking in the shadows.”Tyron was surprised by Adrian's cautious approach. He hadn’t considered the possibility of others being present, and Adrian’s keen perception had revealed much he might have missed.A sudden roar filled the air as the Crimson Blood Python opened its massive mouth, releasing a bloodthirsty aura that shook the surroundings.Adrian's expression changed. “This is serious.”Tyron looked up at the Phoenix Blood Bi
The Crimson Blood Python let out a roar and opened its massive jaws, devouring the Phoenix Blood Bird. Tyron was taken aback and horrified. The python had cleverly concealed its strength, revealing it only at this critical moment. It was clear that intervening now would be suicidal.Adrian's gaze was cold as he sneered. "Let’s wait and see. It’s not over yet." The look in his eyes suggested he had more insights, but he only revealed part of his understanding.Tyron continued to watch the battle, puzzled. Something unusual was happening with the Crimson Blood Python. From a distance, he noticed the python’s massive body shaking violently. Something seemed to be stirring wildly inside it. Hadn't the Phoenix Blood Bird been swallowed? Why was there still movement?“The bird hasn’t died yet. Swallowing doesn’t mean death. The snake is in trouble,” Adrian said.“I have to say, you’re really impressive, Adrian. How did you figure this out?” Tyron asked, looking at Adrian with admiration.
"Adrian, is the snake dying?" Tyron asked concernedly."Just wait. You'll see soon enough," Adrian replied calmly.The snake's pupils then suddenly dilated, and it let out a series of thunderous roars. Its body swelled rapidly. Tyron was shocked by the unexpected turn of events. The snake had swallowed its prey without hesitation, but now it seemed to be suffering the consequences."It's going to explode!" Adrian warned.In the distance, the snake's body expanded several times over. At the critical moment, it spat something out. A deafening boom echoed through the skies as a fiery red orb shot from its mouth. Even from afar, the shockwave reached Adrian and Tyron, though Adrian shielded them from most of the impact.The snake collapsed, lying motionless on the ground. Its breathing was weak, and it appeared utterly defeated. But no one would pity it. Its inner core was an incredibly valuable prize, and any onlookers would undoubtedly be eyeing it greedily."Should we go for it?"
A powerful figure still lurked in the shadows, their timing uncertain. If no one acted soon, Adrian and Tyron wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer.Suddenly, a terrifying rumble echoed in the distance. Violent winds howled, and the entire void trembled. Out of nowhere, several figures charged forward with great speed. "Hahaha, who would've thought such a fearsome beast was here? Let's kill it and split the inner core!"The voice was familiar, and Tyron was stunned. Adrian had been right. These people were from Heaven's Act, one of the groups that had arrived earlier. They were now recklessly charging toward the dying snake.Tyron finally understood why Adrian hadn’t acted rashly. If they had rushed in earlier, they would have been at a disadvantage. Admiration for Adrian grew in Tyron's eyes."Let’s see if these fools can handle the big one. Its strength is far beyond what they imagine," Adrian said calmly.Although gravely injured by the Phoenix Blood Bird’s self-destruction
Tyron was momentarily confused by Adrian's words. As he looked into the distance, he saw the snake's eyes widen, its body pulsing with a surge of blood energy, fueled by furious rage. Everyone was shocked by the sight.The Crimson Blood Python seethed with fury. How dare these insignificant humans challenge it? In its mind, they all deserved to be destroyed.The sword formation created by the Heaven's Act apprentices hovered above the snake’s head. Fierce winds whipped around the trembling swords, and the sky itself seemed on the verge of collapse. Those who witnessed it trembled in fear.The massive snake was terrifyingly powerful, far beyond what ordinary people could face. But the group from Heaven's Act was different. They were determined to challenge the beast and claim its powerful inner core.The leader’s expression turned serious as he made hand seals. The sword split into thousands, and countless long swords rained down from the sky.From a distance, Tyron was surprised.
As for who would ultimately win, Adrian and Tyron didn’t care. No matter which side prevailed, they planned to eliminate them. The Pleiades Herb was too valuable to pass up.The apprentices of Heaven's Act and the Crimson Blood Python were locked in a fierce battle. The snake repeatedly swung its massive tail, furious that these humans dared challenge it, viewing them as insignificant ants.As the fight dragged on, the eight apprentices struggled more and more against the python’s relentless attacks."This python is too strong!" one of the men shouted in frustration."I thought it was supposed to be severely injured!" another added."If this keeps up, our sword formation won’t hold much longer," a third said, his voice filled with worry.The situation wasn’t what they had expected. The python’s strength was overwhelming, and they found themselves trapped. What had seemed like an easy opportunity now felt like a terrible mistake. But at this point, retreat wasn’t an option. They c
