Grand Xuan Kingdom, Mount Xie Li.
The mountain rose thousands of meters high, shaped like a split blade, piercing the sky.
On the steep mountain path halfway up the mountain, two teenagers were walking one after the other.
In front was a slender young man, wearing a straw hat, with a determined face.
Following him was a younger-looking but burly teenager, with thick eyebrows and an honest expression.
At this moment, the burly teenager wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat down with a sigh, "Erlang, let's take a break. We've been walking for most of the day, and I really can't walk anymore."
The frail teenager turned around and handed him a water bottle, saying, "Wild beasts occasionally appear in these mountains. It's not safe to rest here. I know there's a hidden cave not far ahead. If you're really tired, we can rest there."
The burly teenager took the water bottle, took a few gulps, and after a deep breath, he curiously asked, "Erlang, are there really immortals in these mountains?"
"Definitely, I've seen it with my own eyes," Erlang said confidently, looking up at the mountaintop hidden in the clouds.
The burly teenager, however, seemed skeptical, "Since five years ago, you've been obsessed with this and constantly sneaking into this Xie Li. I don't know how many times you've run back and forth, but I haven't seen you find a real immortal. In my opinion, you should give up on this idea. Seeking immortality and enlightenment is too elusive. In my opinion, you should focus on martial arts like me..."
The burly teenager was interrupted by Erlang, who furrowed his brow, "Wang Xuanba, why are you being as nagging as my mother? If you keep saying these useless words, you can go down the mountain by yourself!"
The burly teenager awkwardly touched the back of his head and wisely kept silent.
The two continued to climb towards the mountaintop along the path.
Not long after they walked, a chilly wind suddenly blew through the mountains.
Wang Xuanba's ears twitched, and his face changed. He took a step forward, grabbing Erlang and gesturing for silence.
"There's something up ahead..." His eyes narrowed slightly, about to speak up to warn, but he froze instantly.
A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead.
On the mountain path ahead, accompanied by rustling sounds, a giant white python was slithering down the mountainside.
The white python had a massive body, with only a section of its head exposed, which was easily seven to eight meters long.
The rest of its body was concealed among the grass and trees of the mountain, and they had no idea how long it might be.
The white python had a face as thick as a washbasin, and its huge crimson eyes emitted a chilling red light.
It released thin trails of poison and raised its head as it moved along the mountain wall, heading towards the cliff below.
Seeing this terrifying creature, Wang Xuanba and Erlang were both terrified, unable to move, not even daring to breathe.
The massive body of the white python dragged on the ground for a long time before slowly disappearing from the sight of the two.
Phew...
Wang Xuanba heaved a sigh of relief and was about to speak, but he heard another rapid noise.
The enormous snake head suddenly reappeared from below the cliff, staring intently at the two!
Wang Xuanba and Erlang were petrified once again.
Hiss...
The white python swayed its head and moved slowly, approaching the two.
Its massive mouth opened, carrying a wave of foul odor.
Shrouded by the shadow of the white python, it seemed like their heads were about to be swallowed in a single gulp. Wang Xuanba couldn't bear it any longer.
He let out a loud roar, his muscles bulging all over, and his entire body expanded in an instant.
He flipped and jumped up, raising his fist and smashing it towards the white python's head below.
"Ding!"
The impact sounded like metal clashing!
At this moment, Erlang also moved.
With a step, the rocks beneath his feet turned to powder, and his figure became blurred. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the white python.
Forming a fist, he fiercely punched the back of the white python's head repeatedly.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!..."
The collision sounds echoed in their ears.
However, their attacks didn't even manage to break the white python's skin!
The white python roared, and its body twisted, hitting Wang Xuanba.
"Bang!"
Wang Xuanba was sent flying and crashed into the mountain wall, sending rocks flying.
The python didn't pursue Wang Xuanba but instead turned its head and, with its mouth wide open, bit towards Erlang.
Erlang couldn't dodge in time and could only extend both hands, firmly holding the python's mouth shut.
The white python let out a strange roar, suddenly exerting force.
Erlang's body almost disappeared into the white python's huge mouth, but he let out a muffled groan and managed to hold on.
After holding the stalemate for quite some time, the white python, unable to swallow the small human, became furious.
