Chapter 158: Xiao Qing Transforms into a Python
Yang Feng used his mind to control the acupoints all over his body, starting an even more frantic absorption of the magical energy from the underground world. The entire underground world's magical energy was like a tidal wave surging towards Yang Feng, and then being absorbed into his body. Not long after, the entire underground world, except for the block where Yang Feng sat cross-legged on the jade bed condensed from magical energy, no longer had even a hint of magical energy left!
At the moment when the demonic energy in the underground world was exhausted, the Golden Silkworm Mother, who had been continuously devouring vengeful spirits, finally swallowed up the last one. After swallowing tens of millions of vengeful spirits that originated from military souls, the Golden Silkworm Mother evolved once again, and its two wings on its back transformed into four!
Although the four-winged Golden Silkworm Mother has not changed much, except for an additional pair of wings and a deeper body color, its body is still as long as before. However, at this time, the characteristics of the six-winged Golden Silkworm have already begun to manifest on the Golden Silkworm Mother's body. A brutal and bloodthirsty aura emanates from her, and an overwhelming aura is fully displayed on her body. Although she has not yet reached the level of a six-winged Golden Silkworm adult that can fly freely in the sky and traverse the nine underworlds, she can now become a great assistant to Yang Feng.
The Golden Silkworm Mother flapped its wings, and a flash of golden light passed by. Its shadow had already disappeared, but at this moment, a thumb-sized wound appeared on Yang Feng's chest. It was clear that the Golden Silkworm Mother had returned to Yang Feng's body again. Fortunately, Yang Feng was currently in a state of emptiness and clarity, so he wouldn't feel any pain. Moreover, his abnormal body's recovery ability began to take effect, and soon the wound scabbed over, then the scab fell off, leaving no trace behind.
Bai Qi and Zhao Gou were still standing in place, protecting Yang Feng, but their hearts were filled with excitement. The vengeful spirits had disappeared, the evil energy was about to dissipate quickly, which meant that they would soon be able to escape. They never thought that after being trapped for over 20 years, there would come a day when they could leave!
At this time, both Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo were filled with gratitude towards Yang Feng in their hearts. Moreover, Yang Feng was the grandson of the master in their hearts, so they had the idea of following Yang Feng at this time. Of course, they didn't have this idea just because Yang Feng saved them; they decided to follow Yang Feng in order to repay him. Repaying kindness can take many forms, and people like them could be said to be upright and honest, and would not follow Yang Feng just to repay a debt of gratitude.
They have such an idea mainly because of Yang Feng's grandfather, Chi Zheng. Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo's skills were originally taught by Chi Zheng, and they had the intention of following Chi Zheng back then, but were rejected by him. Now that Chi Zheng has passed on the position of the leader of the Xijiang Miao village to Yang Feng, isn't following Yang Feng also equivalent to following Chi Zheng?
There's another reason why they knew from Yang Feng that the current era is no longer the Warring States period, and people like them can't do much even if they go out. Do they still want to lead their soldiers to fight for hegemony? Even if they have this intention, they learned from Yang Feng that modern warfare is no longer won by sheer numbers or strength. It's all about high-tech warfare now, and even if their skills are superior, it doesn't mean they can win the war. Your skills may be high, but others have something called atomic bombs that can destroy you together, so it can be said that even if they go out, there's nothing to do, and following Yang Feng is a pretty good job, even if it's just protecting his safety.
So, looking at Yang Feng who was still absorbing the demonic energy of the jade bed, Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo had the idea of following Yang Feng, and they just waited for Yang Feng to wake up before explaining it to him.
Yang Feng was still continuously absorbing the demonic energy, and the jade bed condensed from the demonic energy that he was sitting on began to slowly disintegrate, once again turning into a vast amount of demonic energy that was then absorbed by Yang Feng. Like this, the jade bed under Yang Feng became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared, and at the moment when the jade bed disappeared, the three flowers on Yang Feng's head also disappeared, and Yang Feng woke up at that instant.
Yang Feng, who had woken up, did not immediately open his eyes, but instead began to introspect the situation within his body. When he discovered that the golden elixir in his dantian zifu had grown to be as big as a fist, he suddenly became excited. Previously, he had already learned about the cultivation of truth from Yang Tian, so when he saw the golden elixir in his dantian zifu was as big as a fist, Yang Feng knew that he had reached the later stage of the Golden Elixir!
Looking at the purple golden elixir spinning at an incredible speed, the four strands of true energy silk threads extending from it became thicker. The dantian zifu and meridians were also filled with surging true energy. Feeling that powerful strength, Yang Feng was overjoyed again! However, when Yang Feng saw that his own dantian zifu and meridians seemed a bit cramped after reaching the late stage of the golden elixir, it seemed that he still needed to increase the intensity of cultivating his dantian zifu and meridians. Otherwise, if his realm was just a little higher, his dantian zifu and meridians would not be able to withstand so much true energy!
After introspecting his physical condition, Yang Feng finally opened his eyes. Seeing that the entire underground world no longer had a hint of demonic energy, Yang Feng smiled slightly and stood up. Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo saw Yang Feng wake up and hurried over.
Yang Feng looked at Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo as they rushed over, first asking them, "How long have I been cultivating?!" He had now resolved the demonic energy matter, so he decided to leave this place. He asked Bai Qi and the others about the time because he was afraid that his cultivation time this time would be too long again, causing Yang Tian waiting outside to worry.
Bai Qi walked to Yang Feng's side and said, "You've been cultivating for a month now, haha, your skills have improved again!" Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo's strength were far superior to Yang Feng's, so they could naturally see how strong he was. As for Yang Feng's cultivation, it took only one month to go from the early stage of the Golden Elixir to the later stage, which shocked both of them. They didn't expect Yang Feng's skills to grow so fast.
"Uh, it's already been a month, so I need to hurry up and leave. There are still people waiting for me outside, and they must be worried after such a long time." Yang Feng said to Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo. He had now resolved the matter of the demonic energy and could be considered to have saved Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo from their predicament. What happened next would depend on them, as for whether or not they wanted to leave, that would depend on their own wishes.
Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo exchanged a glance after hearing Yang Feng's words, then Bai Qi said to Yang Feng:
"Let's go out with you, we plan to follow you. You are the grandson of Qi Lao, and following you is equivalent to following Qi Lao. Although our strength may not be extremely high, we can still help you."
Yang Feng was taken aback by Bai Qi's words, never expecting that the renowned War God and Killing God would follow him. However, he immediately became excited as both of their strengths were beyond his understanding, naturally making them much more formidable than himself. With such powerful individuals assisting him, he wouldn't have to fear those people from Kunlun and Shu Mountain causing trouble for him again!
Yang Feng nodded happily and then said to Bai Qi, "I'm willing to have your help. But what about the many subordinates you still have? What will they do?! So many people going out will cause quite a stir!"
Bai Qi smiled and said to Yang Feng, "Hehe, don't worry about them. Although the formation and demonic energy here have dissipated, allowing you to leave freely, they still don't have the ability to leave this underground world. Only I and Old Zhao can leave now. I'll let them continue to stay and cultivate, and when the time comes that we need them, I'll let them out."
Yang Feng felt relieved after hearing Bai Qi's words, so he prepared to leave immediately. However, at this moment, he saw Xiao Qing, and suddenly became worried again. Because Xiao Qing was still in a deep sleep, and it was still in its original state of being trapped in the sleep. If Xiao Qing had fallen asleep when it was only one foot long, Yang Feng could have directly put it in his arms and taken it away. But now, Xiao Qing's true body was over 150 meters long and nearly four meters high, how could Yang Feng possibly put such a huge creature in his arms?
Looking at Xiao Qing falling into a deep sleep with no signs of waking up, Yang Feng furrowed his brow. Although he was afraid that Yang Tian and Xue Yi outside would worry about him, he couldn't just abandon Xiao Qing because of this. Just as Yang Feng was feeling troubled, Xiao Qing's body underwent a change.
Xiao Qing's entire body began to squirm and twist, and as it did, Yang Feng saw a layer of light flashing beneath its scales. As the light grew brighter, Xiao Qing's body squirmed faster and faster. Just then, there was a loud cracking sound, and a fissure suddenly opened on Xiao Qing's massive head, growing wider and wider until a larger head squeezed out from inside. When Yang Feng saw this new head, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt an overwhelming surge of excitement!
Because the head that has appeared is no longer the original python head of Xiao Qing, now Xiao Qing's head has become a bit like a horse head, with two long whiskers in front, and on top are two deer-like horns, but they are white as jade! This image is clearly the legendary Chinese dragon, which means that Xiao Qing has successfully evolved from the worm stage to the dragon stage. As long as Xiao Qing's Taoism continues to grow, he will become a true Chinese dragon!
As he watched the little green snake emerge from its original body, Yang Feng became more and more excited. He couldn't believe that he could actually see the legendary Huaxia divine dragon, which was something he had never thought of before. Even after meeting Little Green, Yang Feng hadn't expected to see it transform into a dragon so soon!
When Xia Qing's entire body had emerged from the original body, Yang Feng saw that four huge legs grew under Xia Qing's abdomen, each with five claws. Step by step, they walked out of the original body. Now Xia Qing's body was over 200 meters long, and the scales on her body were originally a bright red color but quickly turned into snow-white hard scales. The blood wings on her back also became even larger!
Xiao Qing, who had evolved into a Jiaolong, stood in front of Yang Feng. The huge dragon head with a pair of eyes full of spirituality stared at Yang Feng, and then did something that made Yang Feng's eyes widen in shock, because Xiao Qing suddenly spoke human language, saying to the wind, "Master, hello!"
