<h4>Chapter 241: Fishing Lava Pythons!</h4>


    Trantor: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu


    Bei Feng felt somewhat unwilling to leave the vine behind. It was obvious at a single nce that that vine was definitely an extraordinary thing. The fruits it bore would simrly be extremely valuable!


    As for whether it might be able to reach the level of a Grade 7 or Grade 8 treasure, Bei Feng still held some reservations towards such a possibility. Earth''s environment boasted limited ling Qi after all. Even if it was a hidden location over 20,000 meters below the surface where fire energy was plentiful, he did not believe that it was possible for a Grade 8 fruit to appear here!


    Of course, there might really be a Grade 8 spirit herb on Earth. But he was certain that it would not be here.


    The fruit before him was definitely ripe. But for some reason, it had not been consumed by the python boss yet. But if he were to return for it when he became stronger, the fruit might be long gone.


    Still, Bei Feng set aside his greed and cast the desire for the spirit fruit out of his mind.


    Humans enjoyed living on the spur of the moment. If he continued dwelling on the thought, he might end up doing something that wouldnd him in a lot of danger!


    At this time, a hugeva python with waists as thick as a water vat swam over. Sensing its approach, all the otherva pythons immediately swam to the side to allow it to cross.


    The head of this python was already as big as an adult human''s waist! With a single bite, it could easily swallow a grown man!


    As it swam by, it eyed the tiny bit of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat with obvious disdain. But ultimately, it still decided to swim out of the water and snap its jaws shut over the freebie!


    These Lava Pythons lived in thevake, so it was unclear what they usually ate. But from their attitude towards the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat, it was obvious that they were carnivorous!


    "Could it be that these snakes are cannibalistic?" Bei Feng wondered.


    As soon as the hugeva python took the bait, he threw away all his thoughts and reeled in the line quickly. This hugeva python was easily pulled out ofvake onto the tform. The massive creature was over twelve meters long!


    Compared to theseva pythons, even the nightmarish Titanoboa was not worth a mention!


    Although this particrva python was huge, the size of its tail''s tip was surprisingly the same as the otherva pythons. It was like an extremely long and sturdy arrow.


    After fishing up so manyva pythons, Bei Feng had a better idea about which parts of theva python''s body were more useful. Using the flying dagger, he chopped off the stiff end of theva python''s tail.


    That section of the tail was like a straight bone, and was iparably tough. It felt somewhat weighty and substantial in his hands.


    Without removing the skin and flesh, he kept the tail section into his spatial ring.


    Then, he proceeded to skin the beast directly without removing the hook.


    When that was done, he proceeded to cut theva python into small pieces to ensure that it was dead before beginning to kick the carcass back into thevake.


    Theva pythons below the tform immediately grew excited as they shot out of theke and snatched up the chunks of meat.


    Bei Feng looked downwards at the goldenvake, his eyes narrowed with interest. The tform he was standing on was at least 400 meters high above theke, and the huge stone pir also blocked the goldenvake, preventing it from flowing to the other side of the cavern.


    The only outlet was a small hole about a meter wide at the bottom of the pir. The goldenva flowed slowly through that hole, merging into the boundlessvake!


    At this time, a section of meat about five meters long from the hugeva python was falling into theke. A hugeva python with blood and Qi energy equivalent to Evolved Jing masters reared its body out of thevake and snatched it in its jaws.


    However, due to the height at which the meat was thrown into theke, the kic force it carried when it fell could not be underestimated. Although theva python managed to bite onto the meat, the impact of catching the meat midair still smashed it back into thevake!


    While the skin of theva pythons was able to resist the temperature of theva, their mouths were quite apparently unable to do the same.


    Before it could react and close its mouth, the entire snake had been smacked into theva. Large amounts of hotva filled the creature''s mouth instantly!


    Theva python screeched in pain and threshed about wildly. But in mere seconds, it''d stopped movingpletely. Theva had burned through the python''s body, leaving only an intact piece of skin floating on theva.


    Seeing the swarming mess below fighting ravenously for theva python''s meat, Bei Feng was also slightly taken aback. With a swift movement, he removed the hook from the snake''s head and threw it into theva as well.


    This time, he would even be able to save on the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat. Since he had no use for theva python''s flesh and it was useful as a bait, he might as well use theva python''s flesh to fish!


    Bei Feng gauged the distance and threw out the hook again, this time aiming for another hugeva python.


    Thisva python was swimmingzily through theva when it noticed the free piece of meat next to its mouth. Without even thinking, it opened its mouth and swallowed the meat. Immediately, the poor snake found itself immobilized, and the huge body which it was so confident in was being lifted out of theva effortlessly.


    Whether it was because theva pythons had been starved for a long time or because their intelligence was simply too low having lived their entire lives in thevake, they kept falling for the same trick despite seeing so many of their kind being caught.


    Bei Feng had already bepletely desensitized by now. He''d lost count of the number ofva pythons he''d killed long ago. Half of his spatial ring was upied by piles of snake skin and galls.


    Towards the end, he only epted the materials from Grade 5 and aboveva pythons!


    The only thing he was regretful about was the fact that these snakes would not give him any experience points at all. Otherwise, this ce would be a treasure trove of experience points!


    At this time, the snakes in thevake began to grow restless as they swam about wildly.


    "Sss!"


    A shrill hissing sound like fingernails wing against ss sounded out, sending shivers down Bei Feng''s spine.


    A monstrousva python three meters wide swam over. The top part of its body rose out of theva, showing at least twenty meters of length as it stared at Bei Feng coldly.


    ''Is that theva python boss? That can''t be! Although this beast is strong, it does not have an aura that causes others to feel powerless before it,'' Bei Feng thought for a while before shaking his head. ''Whatever. I''ll catch it first!''


    Bei Feng hung the full body of a two-meter-longva python on the hook and threw it out forcefully. Without any deviation in its path, the hook stopped right before the giant snake!


    Narrowing its eyes with annoyance, the snake spat and swung its tail at the bait angrily. Did this human really think that it was as stupid as the other idiots?


    But as its tail struck against the lower jaw of the bait, its sturdy skin was actually easily pierced through by the hook!


    Even more terrifying was that the giantva python found that it had bepletely immobilized! At this time, it was being reeled out of thevake which it had lived in for countless years. Such a feeling caused it to shudder with an intense amount of fear!


    "An advanced Grade 6 Demonic Beast... however, it hadn''t reached the level of a Controlled Dan Demonic Beast yet, so it should be considered a Xiantian level beast. It could at most be considered as one of the stronger beasts among Xiantian beasts," Bei Feng analyzed as he listened to the System''s notification.


    From his understanding and analysis of Demonic Beasts so far, their grades could bepared to themon cultivation levels. Grade 1 Demonic Beasts had strengths around the Light and Dark Jing levels, while Grade 2 and Grade 3 corresponded with the different stages of Evolved Jing. Grade 4 Demonic Beasts were equivalent to half-step Xiantian Lords, while Grade 5 Demonic Beasts represented Xiantian levels of strength.


    Following this line of ssification, Grade 7 Demonic Beasts were equal to human Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts!


    Demonic Beasts generally enjoyed longer lifespan aspared to humans. For some species with stronger innate gifts, they would have even longer lifespans!


    For example, tortoise Demonic Beasts! Legends speaking of thousand years or ten thousand years tortoise spirits were not mere fantasy and jokes!


    Even a regr tortoise had an immensely long lifespan. If it was a tortoise Demonic Spirit, it would have at least five times the lifespan of a human on the same cultivation level!


    The Demonic Beasts had their own ws as well. Before reaching Grade 7, they had to cultivate ording to their innate abilities. This was definitely much slower than the speed at which humans cultivate.


    Of course, those Demonic Beasts with special innate talents or powerful bloodlines were an exception.
