Chapter 245: The Black Demon Chama
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
That sharp roar came from far away, which included the howl of Little Du along with the bellow of a strange beast.
Junior Leopard knew that Little Du must have met a strong enemy, so without thinking, he shot out and went straight into the depths of the prairie.
…
The guide was thrown violently down on the ground, but did not seem frightened. Due only to the pain caused by the fall, the muscles in his face twitched slightly. He exclaimed something, looking very excited.
What the guide spoke was a Northern Yuan dialect, but no one knew which tribe it belonged to. Although there were people who were proficient in the language of Northern Yuan, they were also very confused. However, Wendu understood what he had said, and instantly, his face went pale.
“Chama, Black Demon Chama! d.a.m.n it, it’s Black Demon Chama!” Wendu screamed, jumping up and trying to run.
“Hey, what was he talking about?”
Before he could run two steps, Zhu Ba caught him by the collar.
“It’s Chama, Black Demon Chama. This d.a.m.n guy took us to the lair of Black Demon Chama!”
Wendu exclaimed, looking extremely alarmed.
“What’s Black Demon Chama?” Jiang Xiao slightly frowned and went over to Wendu.
“Black Demon Chama is one of the most powerful devils on the prairie!” Wendu quivered.
Jiang Xiao burst into laughter. “The most powerful devil on the prairie? How come we have never heard of it?” “Because Chama’s lair has always been on the Blacktail Plain and it never comes out of the Blacktail Plain. Besides, the area of the Blacktail Plain is very large. So, few Northern Yuan men even know about the existence of Chama. I occasionally heard about it from a friend in the Hengshan tribe!”
“I didn’t expect you to have a lot of friends!” Having heard what he just said was from a friend, Jiang Xiao joked.
“Your Excellency has penetrating judgment. My friend was a great n.o.bleman in the Hengshan tribe, so he knows a lot of secrets. He is a man who couldn’t keep a secret after drinking, so he told me a lot of things.” Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, pointing at the guide. “He, he must be a great n.o.bleman from the Blackwolf tribe. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know the secret of Chama!”
“Bah!” That guide spat severely at Wendu, and then mumbled something in his dialect. The others, of course, did not understand it, but Wendu understood, and his expression became uglier.
“Don’t worry about what he says. Just tell us what Chama is!”
“I don’t know. I only know that Chama has been the devil for thousands of years in the Hengshan and the Blackwolf tribes!” Wendu helplessly answered, “It’s hidden in the depths of the Blacktail Plain, and though it has unparalleled power, it never comes out of the Blacktail Plain!”
“Then what did he say?”
“He, he just said that this is the day for Black Demon Chama to come out to look for food. And all of us will be its food!” Wendu replied with a pale face.
“It’s all useless information!” Jiang Xiao said, dissatisfied. Then he glanced back at the guide, who had closed his mouth and smiled triumphantly, as if he were not a prisoner, but a victor.
“You d.a.m.ned guy!” Tie Kongyi was blue in the face, then fiercely kicked the guide to the ground. “You f.u.c.king fooled me!”
He was in a bad mood. He had wanted to take this opportunity to get along well with Junior Leopard so that this expert could help him in the future. Unexpectedly, such an incident happened before they even arrived at the fief. Furthermore, the incident was created by his guide. How could he not be angry?
“Your Excellency Tie, stop doing this meaningless thing. Wait until His Excellency comes back!” Jiang Xiao said softly and looked around, “Everyone, stay where you are. Now that there are swamps around, don’t run away. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine with His Excellency!” Jiang Xiao’s words rea.s.sured Junior Leopard’s team. After all, they had seen how Junior Leopard brought them across the Dragon-pressing River. If necessary, he could do it again.
Tie Kongyi’s men were not so calm and became a little disordered. Suddenly, there was a cry from the crowd.
“Oh, no! Somebody’s stuck in the mud!”
“d.a.m.n it! We can’t pull him up!”
“His head has been submerged. Be careful! No…! Oops!”

A flurry of screams followed. By the time Tie Kongyi and the others arrived, four men had fallen into the swamp—two of them had been completely buried in the mud, and two others had been buried up to their chests.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people in this group who knew martial arts, and they promptly rescued the two men who were not completely buried in the mud. Otherwise, four people would have died.
“From now on, everyone should stay put. If you get stuck in the swamp, no one will save you!” Tie Kongyi shouted angrily, and turned to teach the guide.
…
…
“This really is as the saying goes: If you are unlucky, even cold water will plug your teeth!”
Junior Leopard sped swiftly in mid-air like an eagle, rus.h.i.+ng toward the roaring. The roaring traveled very far. From Little Du’s voice and the connection of their minds, Junior Leopard knew that Little Du had met a strong enemy.
After absorbing the fist intent of Buyan Gerel, Little Du experienced a metamorphosis, and its strength greatly increased. Its combat capability was even more powerful than a Level Seven expert. But now, it told Junior Leopard that it had met a strong enemy.
Was there an expert whose cultivation was over Level Seven or an evil beast in the depths of the Blacktail Plain?
Yes, it was an evil beast. Even he was surprised by the initial roar, which contained a powerful, terrifying force.
He launched the Dragon Flying Technique to its limit, like black lightning, straight toward the depths of the Blacktail Plain.
Far away, with a loud bang, a huge figure emerged in the darkness.
“Is that a dragon or a snake?”
In the moonlight, Junior Leopard could not help palpitating from the enormous power of the black body that was hundreds of feet long.
Little Du had already transformed into a huge wolf over 10 feet tall and was leaping around the huge body, howling and fighting with the monster.
It was a long snake covered with fine black scales. It was huge, but it was flexible. Its lower body was coiled into a ball, but its upper body was like a flexible whip that followed Little Du.
However, Little Du was not only fast, but also had its own unique skill. It could magically transform itself into phantoms and even could magically transform into nine phantoms at most. Most importantly, these phantoms were also highly lethal. Thus, the black python was fast, but also a little sloppy.
That allowed Little Du to take advantage of it.
You could see that from the jagged scratches on the balled-up snake’s body. But that also ill.u.s.trated the snake’s strong defensive power. Little Du’s claws were sharp enough to tear gold and stone, but it only left some thin white scratches on its black scales.
But this snake was not ordinary either. Though it could not locate Little Du’s true body occasionally, once in a while, it would spit out a foul black mist to cover Little Du’s true body along with the phantoms. And every time Little Du rushed out of the black mist, it slowed down a little bit and even staggered. As a result, it was getting slower and slower, and several times it nearly fell into the black python’s mouth.
Without thinking, Junior Leopard raised his hand, and a black Big Iron Hammer appeared out of nowhere. Then he dashed down, and the hammer in his hand violently fell on the python.
With a “Bang!”, a great recoiling force spread from the hammer into his arm, and then spread throughout his body.
Junior Leopard rose rapidly with a cold look.
This hammer obviously made the python uncomfortable. The part that was hammered was torn open and the scales were all turned over.
“Hiss! Roar—!”
Having been heavily hurt, the python finally got angry. It lifted up its huge body and straightened out its lower body that was originally in a ball.
Its body was cut in half by Junior Leopard, but the bones did not break, and its whole body was rejoined together. Just then, it soared up into the air 100 feet above the ground. It then opened its mouth wide to bite Junior Leopard and, from very far away, he could smell the horrible odor coming from its mouth.
“You’re courting death!”
Junior Leopard had just observed that wherever the python’s black flow touched, whether it was an aquatic plant or a bush, it would be corroded by a strong force.
However, in the eyes of Junior Leopard, who had the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, this power was not worth caring about, and he also did not want to waste too much time.
The python was so large that its open mouth was wide enough to swallow Junior Leopard along with his hammer.
“You have scales on the outside, but your belly doesn’t!”
This huge open mouth was the black python’s biggest flaw.
Taking his hammer back, Junior Leopard curled up and suddenly disappeared in front of the python. Apparently, the black python had never experienced such a strange situation. It paused for a moment, its mouth still open. At just the moment that it paused, Junior Leopard appeared in its mouth. Black and red Sword Qi burst forth immediately and plunged straight down the python’s throat.
“Howl—!”
The black python howled crazily and its body twisted violently because Junior Leopard’s Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword had directly pierced its throat. As its body was in a ball, the Sword Qi had just broken half of its body and come through the black scales. When the Sword Qi pierced the black scales, Junior Leopard clearly felt a strong resistance.
And Junior Leopard’s Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword could only pierce through its black scales.
