Two Realms: From Glass Beads to Divine Skills, Invincible

Chapter 42: Encountering a Giant Python.

"Ah, why?" Xia Miaomiao's lips parted slightly, her expression somewhat surprised. She had been here for several years, and she never expected that she would say she was leaving now.

"I've discovered spies from the Western Depot in Liuzhou City. I'm afraid it won't be long before His Majesty sends people to arrest you," Aunt Mei said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Miaomiao's eyes flashed with panic, but then she looked defiant and pouted, muttering:

"Hmph, then let's go, let's go even further, even further away!"

"I don't want to marry an old man. All the sisters who married him before have disappeared without a trace. They must have been eaten by that old man."

"Sigh!" Aunt Mei sighed, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Xia Miaomiao.

She had no children of her own, and Xia Miaomiao was raised by her alone; though not her biological daughter, she was even closer to her than a biological child.

.....

the other side.

This is a narrow, winding path, rugged and covered with thorns.

Accompanied by the braying of donkeys, the donkey cart, without spring shock absorbers, bumped along the uneven path.

Bai Chen walked ahead, studying the map as he made his way.

Han Shuisheng, who was behind, was leading the donkey, with his pack and baggage tucked between the donkey's sides.

According to the map provided by Xuanqing Daoist, the journey from Yong'an City to Liuzhou City involves passing through five small cities, and the total trip takes about half a month.

"Master, it's going to rain," Han Shuisheng's voice rang out.

"Um?"

Bai Chen looked up and saw that a gray cloud had drifted in from somewhere in the originally clear sky.

It was clearly a sign that rain was coming, so he spoke up:

"Let's find somewhere to take shelter from the rain!"

"Yes, Master Bai."

The two quickened their pace and searched for a place to take shelter from the rain in the mountains.

Drizzle~

A light drizzle began to fall, and soon turned into a downpour.

at last.

A ravine appeared before them, with a protrusion on the mountainside that perfectly blocked the path through the sheepfold.

Huffing and puffing.

Han Shuisheng tied the reins of the donkey to a tree trunk not far away, and then took the packing bags off the sides of the donkey.

He then took out two soft cushions from his bag and placed them on a flat, open ground.

"Mr. Bai, please have a seat!"

"Um."

Bai Chen nodded slightly and sat cross-legged on the soft cushion.

It has to be said that since taking in Shuisheng, life has become much easier in every aspect.

This kid has clearly put in the effort to learn how to serve people.

...

The rain grew heavier, pattering loudly on the leaves of the surrounding trees.

The rain lasted for two full hours before gradually subsiding.

The sky gradually darkened.

"Master Bai, shall we continue our journey today?" Han Shuisheng asked, sitting on the cushion, utterly bored.

Bai Chen looked up at the sky. If he continued on his way, he probably wouldn't be able to reach his next destination before dark.

Traveling through the primeval jungle at night is clearly not a wise choice.

Although he has a submachine gun, it doesn't mean he's invincible. If he encounters a ferocious beast in the pitch black, even with a gun, he probably won't fare well.

"Take the tent out of your bag and set it up. We'll set off again early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Master Bai."

Han Shuisheng nodded in agreement, then opened his bag and took out a transparent cloth made of a peculiar material.

This material is as pure as black jade, yet it has the texture of cotton cloth; he had never seen such a material in his life.

If a modern person were to see this, they would recognize it as a waterproof sheet.

"Master Bai is truly incredibly resourceful!"

Han Shuisheng tidied up the waterproof tarpaulin while supporting the poles inside.

His movements were very gentle, and his face was full of amazement at this amazing material.

...

Late at night.

The rustling of leaves and the chirping of unknown insects intertwine to create the most beautiful symphony of nature.

A gust of wind swept in, causing the two tents standing on the open ground to sway from side to side.

Inside one of the tents, Han Shuisheng's soft snoring could be heard.

Unable to sleep because of the tiger bone incident, Bai Chen decided to meditate and practice stillness exercises outside the tent, while also keeping watch for the first half of the night.

"Phew~"

After a complete cycle of one cycle.

Bai Chen took out a packet of beef bone powder from his pocket and gulped it down his stomach with the water bag.

Feeling the faint effects of the ox bone, he couldn't help but miss the exhilarating sensation of the tiger bone.

Bai Chen licked his lips.

We can't rely on Martial Continent for the time being, so we can only try to find a solution from Earth.

"I've heard the dark web has everything. If I can find the dark web, I should be able to place an order for Tiger..."

Just as he was lost in thought.

suddenly.

A chill ran down my spine.

"Who?"

Bai Chen opened his eyes, stood up, and looked around.

When he saw what was not far away, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but gasp.

This is a python.

Its thickness, about the size of a bucket, combined with its length of about eight or nine meters, is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Chen cocked his submachine gun with a click and pulled the trigger at the python.

Tap tap tap....

The gun muzzle flashed and emitted a piercing roar.

Puff~ Puff puff...

The bullet hit the python's body.

"Hiss~" The python cried out in pain, its body twisting wildly, crushing a large patch of surrounding vegetation.

Unfortunately, the bullets missed the python's vital organs; instead, the pain aroused its ferocity.

"Ha!"

The python, displaying its serpentine nature, twisted its body into an S-shape and charged towards Bai Chen.

It wasn't particularly intelligent, but it still knew that it was that two-legged creature that had caused its injury and pain.

"Holy crap, that's some serious health!"

Bai Chen was startled.

At this moment, the loud noise finally woke Han Shuisheng from his sleep. He groggily crawled out and looked around.

It's okay if you don't look, but once you do, you'll almost be scared to death.

Han Shuisheng's bewildered gaze fell upon the enormous python charging towards him.

"Ah, oh~"

Han Shuisheng's pupils suddenly contracted, his throat felt like it was stuck, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot from fright.

It was at this time that...

Da da da~ da da da....

Bai Chen had already changed to a second magazine and pulled the trigger of the submachine gun. Bullets surged towards the python like a steel torrent.

"Roar~"

The python had one eye blinded, and its head, which was the size of a water tank, had several bloody holes.

However, they still failed to hit any vital organs; the bullets, after penetrating the python's skin, became lodged in its strong muscles.

"Holy crap, even a gun can't kill him?"

Bai Chen fired a burst of bullets, only to find that he had not driven back the python, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Fortunately, this burst of fire slowed down the charging python, giving him time to reload.

Click!

Bai Chen stared intently at the python not far away, while his hands rapidly changed magazines.

At that moment, the python swarmed in again.
