After the t.i.tan Python activated its Deathly Coil skill, an enormous strength was immediately applied to the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ body.
A wave of kakaka sounds was produced from the chafing between the python’s body and the tyrannosaurus’ steel armor. The latter’s entire body was being squeezed tightly, and even its thick neck was wrapped up by the t.i.tan Python, leaving it unable to turn its head to bite at its enemy.
A flash of cold blood thirst was reflected in the t.i.tan Python’s eyes. If it could slay this powerful foe and consume it, its foundation would be even stronger. When the spiritual herb finally matured, it could break through the limits of dark gold-quality at one go and attain legend-quality!
At that time, it would also be considered an authority in this area!
Alas, the t.i.tan Python’s dreams would end here.
The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, seemingly on the verge of being crushed to death, suddenly emitted a dark glow on the surface of its body.
The t.i.tan Python suddenly felt as if what it was coiling wasn’t a body of flesh and blood, but a body of metal. It couldn’t compress it any further.
Astonished, the t.i.tan Python couldn’t react in time. The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ head, which was originally bound in place, struggled free and bit down at the python’s neck.
A crisp snap rang out; the t.i.tan Python’s spine was directly broken. The Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus followed its momentum and swung its head, tearing off the t.i.tan Python’s head.
The python’s slim body, which had lost all life, immediately slid down weakly from the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ body like a cut rope.
A huge amount of fresh blood flowed out, forming a red pool under the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ feet.
Despite obtaining victory in this battle, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus didn’t show any signs of excitement in its eyes. It took another glance at the dried blood stain at the base of the withered tree, and let out a final sorrowful roar towards the sky. After that, it walked further into the forest with long, heavy steps, disappearing from sight.
“This works too!”
Standing on the branch of a large tree some distance away, Zhang Che slowly loosened his grip on the Fallen Star bow. The conflicted look on his face disappeared silently, relaxing.
Earlier, he was still contemplating whether he should make use of this opportunity to pick up some more sc.r.a.ps. If one of them were in any mortal danger, he’d immediately shoot an arrow to s.n.a.t.c.h the experience.
However, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus’ attack was too brutal. With just a single bite and pull, the t.i.tan Python met its end.
“This is the true strength of a legend-quality beast!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but lament. At the same time, he was also thankful for the fact that there wasn’t a chance for him to shoot that arrow. Otherwise, if he enraged the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, he’d likely be chased to a dead end, literally.
– Though, this fellow actually didn’t want this trophy? – Zhang Che’s eyes immediately shone brightly.
This was the corpse of a six-star dark gold-quality exotic beast! Let alone others, this fellow’s skin was some extremely valuable material. Perhaps it could be used to exchange for purple-gold crystals…
Not to mention, the flesh of a six-star dark gold-quality beast should contain immense energy within, right?
He didn’t know whether his herculean strength would continue to grow if he consumed it.
Zhang Che was immediately tempted. After making sure that there weren’t any danger in his surrounding, he slid down the tree right away, and ran in the t.i.tan Python’s corpse’s direction with long strides.
He had no choice but to hurry. Who knew how many exotic beasts would be attracted here once the scent of this fellow’s blood spread? Zhang Che didn’t think he could s.n.a.t.c.h anything from those powerful exotic beasts.
Zhang Che ran up to the corpse and pulled out the Mutated Puffersword. He intended to skin the t.i.tan Python first; it was probably the most valuable part.
Alas, even though the Mutated Puffersword was sharp enough to cut steel as if it was mud, it couldn’t scratch the t.i.tan Python’s skin at all. It was to be expected, thinking about it. The Mutated Puffersword was only a two-star gold-quality weapon, after all. Compared to the t.i.tan Python, it was like heaven and earth; it would truly be strange if it could cut its skin.
-What do I do? Do I have to get the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus to help me?-
-But how could this fellow’s sharp teeth possibly be used to carry out such a delicate job!?-
It was unthinkable. Zhang Che had no choice but to summon the Scarlet Flame Drake and let it have a try. If it failed, then he could only let the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus tear open the t.i.tan Python’s skin and only obtain some meat.
As the Scarlet Flame Drake’s sharp claws ran along the t.i.tan Python’s skin, a wave of sharp zizi sounds rang out loudly.
Zhang Che’s face beamed with joy!
Although it took quite a bit of effort, the skin was undoubtedly being cut!
If they could cut another opening, it would become much easier from there on. With Zhang Che’s immense strength, he was able to skin the t.i.tan Python at a decent pace, spending around ten minutes to skin the entire corpse.
Zhang Che didn’t stop there. After storing the enormous sheet of t.i.tan Python skin into the newly-summoned Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket, he immediately brandished the Mutated Puffersword, carving large pieces of meat off the corpse. All of it was sucked into the Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket.
Soon, the remaining s.p.a.ce in the Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket was filled with the t.i.tan Python’s meat. Looking at the corpse, Zhang Che was dissatisfied with the result. He didn’t take enough of the python’s meat!
It wouldn’t be easy for him to eat the meat of such a high quality exotic beast going forward. How could he waste it so easily?
After thinking for a bit, Zhang Che decided to take out all of the roasted meat in the Rock Tortoise’s spatial pocket, instantly freeing a few cubic meters worth of s.p.a.ce!
Now, if he filled up the Rock Tortoise’s capacity again with the python’s meat and consumed it himself, it would last him a very long time.
Just as he was about to start carving meat off the python’s corpse again, Zhang Che remembered about his promise to the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus. He decided to summon him, waving his hand. The moment this fellow appeared, his eyes were glued to the roasted meat, wrapped with leaves. He didn’t even spare a glance for the t.i.tan Python meat that was filled with spiritual essence.
Well, it turned out that this fellow was another gourmet, prioritizing taste over nutrition.
Zhang Che paid no heed to this glutton. He waved his hand again, summoning all his carnivorous subdued beasts and pets, allowing them to have a feast, since it was such a rare opportunity to come across such high quality exotic beast meat.
Fortunately, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon and Gluttony Monkey, who were originally cursed with the glutton attribute, seemed to be tired of eating roasted meat, or perhaps they knew such an opportunity was rare. Both of them were attracted to the skinned t.i.tan Python, tearing large mouthfuls of meat off of it.
Only the Vampiric Demon Carpet was uninterested in the t.i.tan Python’s meat. It directly glided to the pool of blood and sucked at it in enjoyment.
“This is simply a sumptuous feast! A pity I’m not included for now!” Zhang Che shook his head. He continued working hard, swinging the Mutated Puffersword in his hand, carving off large pieces of the t.i.tan Python’s meat, gathering it into a small hill.
Mmm, even the Rock Tortoise went to join the crowd, feasting on the python meat. It wasn’t free to help Zhang Che store rations for now.
