Chapter 286 Making a Fortune in Silence
Ding Hao had a try and found that it was impossible to climb the ice wall faults on both sides. That ice wall was the mysterious ice acc.u.mulated for thousands of years and was as strong as adamant steel. It was also slippery. Even if the rusty sword was used to pierce the ice, it could only enter half an inch of the ice.
“Meow. Go forward. Go along the fault crevice and perhaps we can find a way out.” Evil Moon suggested while crunching something.
That was the only way.
Ding Hao packed up his luggage. With the devil cat, following the ice fault crevice, he went straight on.
It was like a world of the dead there. The wind could not blow in, and there was almost no sound. Ding Hao’s footsteps echoed unusually harshly.
After having walked several kilometers, Ding Hao finally saw something other than ice and snow.
It was a white giant python’s body frozen in ice.
The python was more than 500 meters long with its waist of about four meters in diameter. It was curled into a disk shape, covered with silver scales and strange brilliance. It had two vaguely identifiable small horns on its forehead with a trend to become a flood dragon indistinctly.
From those characteristics, that python was at least a big demon at the Demon General Realm. No one knew why he fell into the ice fault crevice and lost his life.
The white python might have been frozen in the mysterious ice for a history of thousands of years. It looked lifelike, as if it were hibernating. The huge body gave Ding Hao a visual shock.
“Meow, a silver python to turn into a flood dragon looks very delicious!”
Evil Moon’s eyes suddenly brightened up. It jumped from Ding Hao’s shoulders, and swung around the python’s body. His crystal-clear mouthwater was dropping on the ground. Grinding his little milk teeth, he seemed to look for a place to eat.
Ding Hao also moved in his mind.
A big demon at the Demon General Realm was all made of treasures. In addition to its demon crystal, there must be a monster core. That demon had been frozen for so many years and its flesh and blood might be very fresh. Besides, there were the python’s gallbladder, skin, eyes…
“Haha, I’ve made a fortune.”
Ding Hao laughed with his mouth corners to his ears.
On his palm appeared the Extreme Yang Sky Fire Qi. Like the light yellow flame, it instantly filled the ice and gradually melted the ice that covered the python’s body.
“Alas, actually I am a very honest person. The demon cat Evil Moon should be blamed since he had misled me as I had been staying with him for a long time …”
Ding Hao was mumbling those words
“Meow…” Evil Moon looked at Ding Hao very disdainfully.
Soon, the python monster’s large body showed up completely, as the mysterious ice melted.
“Hey, this python’s skin is really hard. It deserved to be a large demon to turn into a flood dragon.” Ding Hao cut the python’s body with his rusted sword. The python’s skin was not cut open. Instead, the python sparked so that Ding Hao’s wrists were numb by the impact.
“Let me try. Let me try…” Mouth watering, Evil Moon threw himself at the python with his eyes lighting up.
Grinning at Ding Hao, Evil Moon revealed a triumphant smile. He showed his sharp claws under the pink meat and scratched the python’s skin with a piercing sound.
The pyhon’s skin was too hard to be pierced by the rusted sword, but the little milky cat scratched it like bean curd sheets into two, neatly and cleanly in silence with his claws. The white meat oozing blood beads was exposed, emitting a burst of refres.h.i.+ng strange fragrance.
“Meow. So delicious. I cannot resist it anymore. Hahahaha …”Evil Moon’s mouth was watering all over the ground so that he bit the python and tore it up frantically.
Noticing that Evil Moon had a tendency to make his head become bigger in a frenzied state and wanted to swallow the python monster’s body whole, Ding Hao grabbed the devil cat by the back of his neck and threw him aside.
“Meow… Woof! Woof!” The little devil cat rushed to Ding Hao, bit his shoes and did not let him go.
“Hey… Hey? Are you a cat or a dog? Let me go quickly…” Ding Hao said with a smile, shaking his head helplessly: “Okay. Okay. Let’s dissect the python monster’s body. We share it equally. You can eat as much as you like!”
The devil cat forced Ding Hao to swear with his eyes and then he loosened his mouth sadly.
After bargaining, the devil cat used his little claws to dissect the python’s body under Ding Hao’s instruction. They took the time of three sticks of incense to burn to dissect the python.
The python was at the Demon General Realm and soon it would turn into a flood dragon. His blood and flesh contained vast energy. Eating one piece of python meat was of great benefit to cultivators. Half of several tons of fresh meat were taken by Evil Moon and another half was stored in Ding Hao’s storage ring.
The python’s skin, gallbladder and crystals were kept by Ding Hao temporarily.
It would be a small fortune whether they would use them or sell them after returning to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
One person and one cat were busy dissecting and then they rested for a while. After drinking and eating, they touched their round stomachs and continued to move forward with satisfaction. Suddenly, they felt that the dead world under the ice crack was not so terrible.
They walked about ten miles.
In front of them, another big demon’s body appeared, and it was frozen in ice. That was a huge one-legged ox. It was cyan with horns like knives, with the posture of crying into the air; it seemed to be the best work of art in the world carved by the art master, expressing a thick and unwilling feeling.
“Wow, this is a big demon at the Demon Commander level. It is an one-legged ox. It is said that the one-legged ox has a very strong bloodline of the ancient mythical beasts. Ah. Haha. It looks very delicious…”
Opening his mouth, Evil Moon intended to enlargen his head to swallow the one-legged ox. He was flicked back on his forehead by Ding Hao. “Little glutton, don’t swallow. The one-legged ox is a treasure all over for cultivation. We will dissect it first and keep the materials for cultivation. And then you can eat as much as you can.”
“Meow. Meow. I feel that I have almost become your slave…” Evil Moon changed back to his original form. Under Ding Hao’s instruction, he began to dissect the one-legged ox at the Demon Commander Realm, with his claws that were so sharp that they could cut everything.
Very soon, the man and the cat laughed wildly in the thin strip of sky of the ice fault.
“The one-legged ox is not delicious!”
“Ah. Hahaha. So many materials. We will not have to worry about raw materials for refining elixirs and weapons. Ah. Hahaha!”
The little cute cat and Ding Hao laughed so much that their faces almost cramped.
…
Two more hours pa.s.sed.
“Wow. Hahaha, We have made a fortune… A blue wind wolf monster at the top Demon Commander level. Ah. Hahaha.”
“At the top Demon Commander level. It looks delicious!”
One man and one cat wanted to hold each other to sing and dance together. They felt the place they had fallen into was not a silent world but an underground ice cave full of treasures.
