"What?!" Ye Tianjing exclaimed in fear. Earlier, he had estimated the giant python's length to be around five hundred Zhang, but it seemed that it could encircle over five hundred people, and it was likely a thousand Zhang long.
"What should we do?" Fifth Brother asked anxiously. Faced with such a colossal creature, anyone would be extremely flustered.
"Don't panic. Tell the Brothers to retreat," Ye Tian said after a moment of contemplation, then issued the command.
"But going back is a trap!" Fifth Brother exclaimed in terror.
"Even so, we must retreat!" Ye Tian glanced at the trees that had been swept aside by the giant python. If such force were applied to a person, there would be no chance of survival.
"Alright, I'll notify the Brothers right away!" Fifth Brother gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Rustle, rustle...
Just as Fifth Brother departed, the giant python seemed to come alive. Sounds of scraping against the ground echoed from the surrounding woods, and ancient trees were snapping and falling in large numbers, creating a thunderous noise.
In a moment, the crowd gradually gathered near Ye Tian, all looking at him with expressions that sought refuge.
Hundreds of gazes fell upon Ye Tian simultaneously, causing his heart to tremble slightly. He was not afraid; rather, he was worried about whether his decision was correct.
If it was right, then it would be fine. If it was wrong, it would cost the lives of over a hundred people!
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
Just as Ye Tian hesitated, the sound of the giant python flicking its tongue suddenly echoed through the mountains and forests. Although it was merely flicking its tongue, the sound resonated through the Forest and reverberated far away.
That sensation made one's scalp tingle.
"We've just escaped from a wolf pack only to fall into a tiger's den! What sins have we committed?" someone among the Wang family cried out to the heavens, their voice filled with despair.
"Everyone, don't panic! Retreat to the back!" Ye Tian shouted loudly. He needed to calm the nearly collapsing emotions of these people first.
"The back is a trap! Going back means death! I don't want to die!" The man's voice trembled, tinged with a hint of crying.
Ye Tian frowned slightly. Although the man's words would disturb people's hearts, they were understandable. They had just escaped from that perilous trap, and now they were being forced to return. This situation of surviving a disaster only to face another was indeed hard to accept.
Crack! Crack!
Before Ye Tian could speak to reassure them, a loud noise echoed through the forest as trees snapped under some unseen force. Then, under the terrified gazes of the crowd, a giant python suddenly raised its head.
Hiss... Hiss...
With its head held high, the ancient trees towering ten zhang seemed as small as grass in comparison. Its four Giant Eyes glowed with a chilling light, and a massive forked tongue flicked in and out, seemingly ready to strike.
"Oh my! It's the Dragon God!"
"Quick, bow down! The Dragon God is angry!"
Seeing this scene, many people instantly weakened in their legs and fell to their knees, repeatedly bowing their heads and shouting in panic.
Ye Tian's brow furrowed deeply. He had heard of the legend of the Dragon God, said to be a mysterious being that had lain dormant in the depths of the Spirit Martial River for tens of thousands of years. Those who encountered it were filled with terror and revered it as the Dragon God.
However, the Dragon God would definitely not look like this.
"Everyone, don't panic! This creature is not the Dragon God; it's just a giant python!" Despite his own shock, he forced himself to remain calm and shouted to reassure everyone.
Seemingly angered by Ye Tian's words, the giant python's gaze suddenly shifted toward him. Its massive head slowly lowered as it focused on Ye Tian.
Hiss... Hiss...
As he watched that enormous forked tongue flicking toward him, stretching nearly two zhang long, Ye Tian couldn't help but turn pale. A mere human was utterly insignificant in front of such a Primeval creature.
“Dragon God, calm down!”
“Dragon God, calm down!”
The ignorant crowd continued to bow and worship, unable to be pulled away. Although Fifth Brother did not kneel, his legs trembled uncontrollably as he stammered towards Ye Tian: “What do we do? What do we do, Leaf Young Master? What should we do?”
Fifth Brother's repeated questions revealed his fear. Although Ye Tianxin was equally shocked, the situation was extremely urgent. If he lost his composure, the others would have no chance of survival, and the likely outcome would be that they would all end up as offerings to the Dragon God.
“Staying here means certain death. Everyone, step back for now, be careful not to fall into any traps!” Since Ye Tian had to hold the rear for them, otherwise the crowd would panic even more, making it impossible to lead them out or teach them how to identify traps. He could only shout instructions.
“What about them?” Fifth Brother took a couple of steps back and pointed shakily at those still kneeling.
Ye Tian frowned deeply: “Lift them! Carry them! Just find a way to get them out of here!”
Upon hearing this, Fifth Brother stopped speaking and quickly hoisted one person onto his shoulder before rushing towards Forest Edge. Many who did not believe in gods followed suit, either lifting or carrying those who were kneeling as they fled in panic.
In this urgent situation, the crowd surged like mad towards the grasslands, creating a scene of chaos.
Facing the frantically fleeing humans, the giant serpent did not make any unusual movements but continued to stare at Ye Tian, seemingly regarding him with newfound respect.
“Whew...”
Under the gaze of this ancient beast that had likely survived for thousands of years, Ye Tian couldn't help but take a sharp breath, feeling cold all over as sweat poured down his body.
Turning back to look at the fleeing crowd, he saw that they had almost all retreated into the grasslands. Ye Tianxin felt slightly relieved and activated Yuqi Tayan Jue, swiftly moving backward.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Suddenly, cries erupted from the crowd, causing Ye Tianxin's heart to sink. He knew someone must have triggered a trap. Turning around, he indeed saw the ground where the sound came from suddenly collapse, and three or five figures fell into the trap in an instant.
“Scary!”
Upon seeing this situation, Ye Tian suddenly accelerated. With a sharp whistle, his figure transformed into a fleeting shadow, instantly covering the ten-zhang distance to the edge of the trap. He reached out and pulled up one of the individuals.
"Ahhh!"
Ultimately, Ye Tian's strength was limited; despite his efforts, he could only save one person. The others who fell into the pit were immediately surrounded by Poisonous Creatures, their screams echoing in a horrifying chorus as they were gnawed and torn apart.
Faced with such a scene, the more than five hundred people dared not move an inch. Their faces turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
Before them lay a giant python resembling a Primeval beast, while around them were endless Venomous Traps. This situation was truly desperate.
"Ye... Leaf Young Master, what should we do..." Fifth Brother stammered, trembling as he asked.
Ye Tian closed his eyes in contemplation and waved his hand to interrupt Fifth Brother's words. He knew what Fifth Brother wanted to say: were they at a dead end?
"Elder Brother Five, you all go first. I will hold it off!" Ye Tian suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer of determination shining through. It was an expression of resolute fearlessness.
"You can't hold it off..." Fifth Brother's words were true; he didn't want to see Ye Tian swallowed by the giant python.
"Even if I can't hold it off, I must try. Whether you can safely pass through this wilderness depends on your luck!" As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Yuqi Tayan Jue was unleashed as he charged toward the giant python.
"Leaf Young Master! Leaf Young Master!" Fifth Brother shouted from behind, but he dared not move his feet because Ye Tian's speed was too fast; he couldn't even see the path clearly.
Fifth Brother called out to Ye Tian repeatedly but received no response. In desperation, he felt a surge of courage, stomped his foot hard, and turned back to shout, "Leaf Young Master is fighting that monster for us! Real men, charge with me!"
The crowd paused in surprise. After a moment of reflection, they exchanged glances with one another, their feet shifting hesitantly.
Seeing this, Fifth Brother's anger flared up as he shouted, "Do you all have no conscience? Are you not going to help?!"
The crowd remained hesitant. They weren't afraid of fighting against Black Wind Stronghold, but facing such a mysterious and Primeval existence was not just fear; it was reverence.
"Sigh!" Fifth Brother let out a heavy sigh. He knew further persuasion would be useless, so he roared and rushed towards Ye Tian.
"Damn it! I'm done for!" Just as Fifth Brother took his first steps, a thunderous shout suddenly erupted behind him. The members of the Cold Family resolutely followed in his footsteps, and soon even the Royal Guard charged forward recklessly.
Due to the loud cries behind him, Ye Tian was alarmed. He turned around and felt a warm surge in his heart, but more than that, he felt helpless. Although they meant well, they could not help him. Relying on the Yuqi Tayan Jue might buy him some time, but their strength was practically equivalent to walking to their deaths.
Moreover, after all the effort everyone had made to cover some distance, returning now would likely cost many lives to those Venomous Traps.
"Everyone, don't come back! I have my own way to escape!" Ye Tian channeled his energy, his voice booming like thunder, resonating far and wide.
Upon hearing this, everyone thought Ye Tian was merely offering comfort. They continued to charge forward fearlessly, not hesitating even for a moment. In this situation, they clearly no longer regarded the Venomous Traps as a threat.
Ye Tian shook his head helplessly and prepared to retreat. However, just as he moved, the giant python began to writhe restlessly as if it had sensed a tremendous threat, acting almost frenzied.
"Huh?" Ye Tian turned back in confusion. Before he could take a closer look, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ears, followed by an earth-shattering roar that echoed in his ears.
Roar!!!
The sound did not come from nearby but rather from an extremely distant place. As the roar sounded, the ground trembled slightly, and lightning suddenly streaked across the sky. Dark clouds swiftly engulfed the heavens, plunging the night into pitch blackness where one could not see their own hand.
"What could possibly make such a sound? It has such power!" Ye Tian's heart raced with fear because this sound reverberated throughout the world and likely originated thousands of miles away. Whatever creature could produce such a deafening roar would make even this giant python seem like an ant in comparison.
