Chapter 269: The Taste Of A Jinx

In the ruins of the village.

Guishen patted the head of the giant python and conveniently plucked off one of his arms for it to eat.

As the giant python muttered that the meat was not delicious, Guishen smiled and looked into the horizon.

“I didn’t think that we would be so late. The jinx has already been appeased. I don’t know where it has gone.”

The reason for their visit to the Moon Goddess Sea was simple.

!!

It was to catch the jinx, and then to eat the jinx.

This way, he would be able to obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao. Although it would still be very weak, it was a catalyst that would allow him to break through to the Dao heart realm.

The python beside him could smell the scent of the jinx.

When the jinx was born, there would be a unique scent left behind when the dead turned into the living, which the python could sense.

Unfortunately, by the time it got here, all that was left were ruins.

Guishen looked at the python munching on his arm and said, “My adorable child, can you still feel its presence? If you bring me to it, I’ll promise to find you 1,000 fresh living creatures to eat.”

This python was called the thousand-handed dead python, a monster that was only recorded in legends.

The legend behind this monster was that a python adopted many children who were abandoned during the war. One day, when the war subsided, people found that the python’s nest was full of children, and immediately attacked the Python. In order to prevent its children from being taken away, the python swallowed all of the children into its stomach. Somehow, the children remained alive in its stomach.

In the end, they killed the python and burned it to ashes, believing it to be an evil omen.

Therefore, whenever a thousand-handed dead python appeared, people believed that it meant that wars and disasters would descend upon the land.

Of course, legends were just legends, many of which had been fabricated.

However, there were indeed many burn marks on the thousand-handed dead python, and each burn mark would correspond to an arm.

The arms supported the dead body of the python, like children repaying the debt of gratitude. Perhaps these children did not want to believe that the python that had taken care of them was already dead, and were using their arms to support the python as it wandered across the world.

When the thousand-handed dead python had heard Guishen’s words, it began to breathe deeply. With every breath, many children’s whispers could be heard under the python’s skin. Finally, the python’s head split open, and a charred arm stretched out of the python’s ugly head, pointing in a direction.

The arm was mimicking the python’s tongue.

Guishen understood.

“Oh, so the little girl I saw just now is a jinx. I understand. You’ve worked hard, my child.”

He patted the thousand-handed dead python’s head and muttered to himself, “The opponent’s strength should also be at the peak of the Dao essence realm. I might not be able to defeat him.”

“I don’t have any justification to fight him either, since he has already accepted the jinx as his disciple. Still, I really want to eat it and break through to the Dao heart realm.”

“What should I do?”

Guishen knew that the jinx would choose a powerful person as its master.

As it was weak while it was young, the Heavenly Dao would guide it to find a powerful person to protect it. In this case, the jinx’s protector was Yuchi.

“There is a chance that I will die if we fight…”

“But… I really want to eat it…”

“No, no, no, I must eat it.”

Guishen’s tongue flicked out of his mouth. It was 4 meters long and as thick as a vine.

His body craved the jinx.

He rolled around on the ground, and his body would let out painful cries from time to time.

Then…

He finally could not take it anymore.

So what if the Heavenly Dao had chosen that person?

Cultivation was a path against the heavens, so there was no reason to be afraid.

“Hahaha!”

I’ll go and discuss this with him first. If it doesn’t work out, then I’ll fight him. Oh, that damn jinx is so delicious.”

“I’ve been dreaming of you for ages. I’m going to eat you today, no matter what price I have to pay.”

Guishen frantically rushed in Yuchi’s direction. He had made his decision!
