I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 610: 【195】Martial Arts Rhythm, South Pacific Anomaly_6

The flood dragon hidden beneath ponds and rivers is known as the 'Hidden Flood Dragon'. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Legend has it that a flood dragon can cultivate for a thousand years, then 'emerge as a dragon', entering the sea to transform into a dragon. Some swords hung beneath bridges are meant to prevent the emerging flood dragon from damaging the bridge.

Looking at the giant python before him, Wang Longhu strongly suspected that if left for a few more centuries, it could truly enter the sea and become a flood dragon.

The reactions of snakes are extremely sharp, let alone the python.

The moment Wang Longhu appeared, the red python's eyes snapped open, its enormous head twisting and slowly raising as it approached Wang Longhu.

On its head, two lumps of flesh were bulging, and beneath its mouth, two fleshy whiskers measuring over ten centimeters had grown.

Clearly, this red python's skills had nearly reached the level of a flood dragon.

Previously, no matter how Wang Longhu thought, it was hard to imagine such a life form hidden in Changkeng Village.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a bit afraid. If he had encountered this thing when he moved to his grandmother's house for martial arts practice, he might have been eaten without anyone knowing, and everyone would have thought Wang Longhu had vanished into thin air.

"Such a large python, what on earth does it rely on in this mountain to fill its stomach?" Wang Longhu wondered.

Wang Longhu couldn't believe that this python could fill its stomach solely on stray cats and dogs.

However, for many years, Changkeng Village had never experienced any incidents of missing people or farm animals like chickens and ducks being eaten.

Otherwise, such an incident would have alarmed the authorities long ago.

Faced with Wang Longhu, the red python inspected him and suddenly lunged, attempting to wrap itself around Wang Longhu and crush him with its massive body.

Both pythons and anacondas use extremely violent methods to hunt their prey.

That method is deathly constriction!

An Amazonian anaconda can grow up to 7 meters long and weigh over 200 pounds.

A mature Amazonian anaconda's constriction force can reach 8,000 pounds.

Wrapped around its prey, it can easily snap the prey's bones and cause internal organ damage, which is more brutal than any poison.

The red python before him was over 10 meters long, so the constriction force of its deathly wrap was undeniably over 10,000 pounds!

Apart from deathly constriction, a python can open its mouth up to 180 degrees, using hundreds of sharp, backward-curved teeth to lock its prey until it dies completely.

The moment the red python wrapped its body around Wang Longhu, he felt a tightening force explode around him.

If it were last April or May, when he was staying at his grandmother's house as a Ming Jin martial artist, Wang Longhu would already be preparing his will.

Being constricted by such a huge red python gave him no chance of escape.

But to the current Wang Longhu, who possessed a strength of over 1 million pounds.

The red python's mere 10,000-pound constriction was too easy, so easy that he didn't feel any pressure.

It was like a kindergarten child playing an arm-wrestling game with him.

It was incomparable, whatsoever.

The red python opened its mouth to bite Wang Longhu, but in the next second, Wang Longhu launched a punch.

The explosive punch power was like blasting explosives onto the red python's head.

Boom!

The entire head of the red python exploded instantly, its body falling powerlessly to the ground.

Yet, the nerves of such creatures as the python are very tenacious, even if the head is gone.

The body of the red python continued to tightly wrap around Wang Longhu, trying to crush him.

Wang Longhu's body shuddered.

The entire 10-meter long body of the red python instantly got shattered into dozens of segments, hurling against the walls of the stone chamber, splattering blood everywhere.

"This stone coffin…" Wang Longhu walked to the stone coffin, only to see the coffin lid already partially removed.

Inside lay a corpse, unknown how long dead, with its clothing weathered away, leaving only a yellowish-black skeleton.

The skeleton's hand clutched a stone jar.

The jar's lid had been opened, and its contents were gone, except for three ancient characters faintly recognizable on the jar's surface.

'Da Yi Pill'

"What?!" Wang Longhu's pupils contracted in shock.

He was all too familiar with the Da Yi Pill, as the Heaven and Earth Alliance's Enlightenment Potion was developed by diluting the Da Yi Pill.

Yet, even so, all versions prior to the latest H-13, like H-12, H-11, and so on, had severe side effects.

This means that the Da Yi Pill, as the source material, was even more dangerous.

However, in this remote Dong County, near the mountains of Changkeng Village, there was an ancient tomb hiding the Da Yi Pill.

Who had excavated and built this ancient tomb?

Who was the tomb's true owner?

Why would it hide a Da Yi Pill here?

Wang Longhu turned to look at the red python he had just killed, and a thought formed in his mind.

Surely this stone jar's contents, the Da Yi Pill, had been mistakenly consumed by the red python.

This explained the red python's immense growth to such a gigantic size, making sense logically.

After all, Dong County was just a small island, unlike the vast mountains like Changbai Mountain or Shennongjia.

Neither the amount of food nor environmental conditions could compare, thus, it was impossible for spiritual objects to be birthed in Dong County.

Their appearance now indicated some special factor was at play.

"It's a pity that this stone chamber contains no records, and the tomb owner's coffin has no burial accompaniments, providing no clues to ascertain his identity. This may forever remain a mystery." Wang Longhu sighed.

In the past, Hong Xiuquan's men discovered Da Yi Pills, the Outer Canon of the Yellow Emperor, and the Daoist Corpse Immortal Techniques in the imperial tomb.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance, White Lotus Society, and Taiping Sect, had all secretly investigated for a long time.

Yet they failed to determine the origins of these three items or why they were hidden in the royal tomb.

Even their vast powers couldn't uncover the truth, let alone Wang Longhu.

"On this planet, many unknown truths are still hidden, lost from history," Wang Longhu said, placing the stone jar back in the stone coffin, closing the lid, and taking a segment of the python's corpse with him as he left.

He returned to the excavation site where an excavator was parked, throwing the python's carcass onto the roof of the metal shed.

After completing this, Wang Longhu quietly disappeared into the wind.

The Changkeng incident was resolved, eliminating future threats.

"Damn! Who the hell is it? Is this prank ever going to end?"

The metal shed shook, and the two night watchmen, holding flashlights, hurriedly ran outside, frustrated and angry.

The earlier tremor had belatedly alerted them that someone nearby might be tossing stones to prank them, trying to scare them.

They searched the vicinity carefully but found nothing.

Now, the commotion returned, filling the pair with both fear and terror.

Who would be so entertained at one or two in the morning, kidding around in this remote mountain?

Or maybe the entity wasn't human at all?

"Brother Wu! Goodness!"

One man, illuminating the rooftop with his flashlight, exclaimed, collapsing onto the ground in fright.

Brother Wu turned back in shock, his body hair bristling, eyes widening like bulbs, his face pale as if he might pass out.

Just short of fainting in terror on the spot.

On the metal shed's rooftop lay a blood-soaked, massive segment of a python's corpse, still seeping blood despite the cold winter.

"What the hell is going on!" Brother Wu exclaimed, exasperated and out of breath, his legs too weak to stand as he sat heavily on the ground.

This night was too frightening, too thrilling.
