“F*ck!”
Xu Que jumped with fright and cried out.
The great snake was still able to move, and one of its toes had broken free of the fetters’ restraints.
But the matter that truly shocked Xu Que was the toenail’s sharpness. It was shining brightly with a cold light, and it seemed on a par with a Celestial Artifact’s blade. It was a natural divine material!
It could be easily discerned that this great snake still hadn’t turned into a true dragon, but there was only a little time left for it to achieve this feat.
“This is disastrous! If we released this great snake, we wouldn’t be able to restrain it without the help of four or five Gods,” Xu Que exclaimed.
The great snake’s foot had already turned into a draconic foot, and this was how it had managed to get out of its restraints. Fortunately, its other parts hadn’t turned into draconic parts yet, and they were still held by the restraints. It wouldn’t be able to escape right away.
Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief. If this great snake had really escaped, then he would only be able to escape along with Liu Jingning. He would even have to leave the Heaven Continent.
“F*ck! Lad, let’s run away,” Duan Jiude, who was outside the cave, shouted anxiously.
It could be discerned through his voice that this old man had already escaped at least 1,000 miles away. He was warning them only from a distance.
“Why the h*ll should we run away? Rush over here. This whole land is a treasure,” Xu Que shouted and examined the giant square-shaped piece of land.
The piece of land was ten yards tall and several hundred yards long, which meant that the snake’s height was at least 100 yards high. This was why it had to be covered by a large amount of soil, even though it was sealed with the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines.
If he wanted to take away the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, he must take away the snake also. He mustn’t separate them, as if he did, he would free the snake from his restraints.
“Where is it? Where is the treasure?” Duan Jiude’s voice echoed out again.
This time, he was back near them, and it was obvious that this old man had run back.
In an instant, Duan Jiude’s head appeared in the cave mouth, and he observed everything in the cave. “Lad, don’t try to joke with me. Where is the treasure?”
TSK! “What is this?” Xu Que smiled and pointed his finger at the piece of land floating in the air.
“This is... What do you mean?” Duan Jiude was startled and confused, and he cast several glances at the giant snake’s eye in the soil.
He was observing the snake’s eye nervously. If Xu Que hadn’t said that a treasure was here, he surely wouldn’t have come back.
“Are you stupid? Don’t you see this snake? Its whole body is a treasure. You should come up with a way to knock it out so that we can get to eat snake’s meat tonight.” Xu Que winked at Liu Jingning as he spoke.
Duan Jiude rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, “I have risked my life to come back here, yet you want me to knock out this snake? Don’t joke with me. It’s me who will shortly pass out.”
ROAR!
Meanwhile, an angry roar erupted from the soil, and it shook their eardrums so much that they tingled.
The snake was infuriated, and its golden pupil shone brightly. It seemed like a burning fire that would turn into a real fire at any moment.
“Ant, you dare to disrespect...” the snake’s intimidating shout echoed out.
“F*ck! If you continue blabbering, I will kill you,” Xu Que glared at it and shouted.
He was facing a fettered great snake, and he didn’t have to fear it.
ROAR!
The great snake roared once again, and its roar was so deafening that sand and stones fell off the cave’s roof.
“You are asking for death! Fine, I will first rip out your toenail and play with it.” Xu Que got angry, and he shouted at the snake before he flew in the air.
He rushed toward the snake’s toe that was outside the soil, and he waved his hand before he took out a long, thick rod from his pants. It was the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod!
BANG!
When he waved the rod, the air was torn apart by it, and a loud explosion sound echoed as it fell heavily upon the shining toe.
DING!
The sound of a loud vibration echoed, and sparks flew all around. Xu Que was shaken, and he moved back, while a startled look appeared on his face.
The great snake’s toe was too terrifying, and even the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod couldn’t harm it. Xu Que had a firm and hard body, a second-rate holy physique, yet when he struck the toe, it wasn’t harmed, while his thumb and forefingers became numb due to the impact.
“Huh? Ant, you are unexpectedly safe and sound,” the great snake’s surprised voice transmitted from the soil.
It was obvious that it was surprised that Xu Que didn’t suffer any harm after hitting it.
“Hee, hee, even the likes of you wants to injure me?” Xu Que sneered and shook his head. “As a matter of fact, I didn’t even use 2/10’s of my power a while ago.”
“Humph! Trifling ant, you are so arrogant,” the great snake shouted loudly. “Why don’t you reveal your whole power, and let me see how you deal with me.”
“No, thanks! It’s boring,” Xu Que spread out his arms and wore a disdainful look. “Your trashy toenail’s force of impact can’t even injure me. So, even if I rip it out, it will be useless to me.”
“Presumptuous!” the great snake shouted angrily.
“What the hell is presumptuous! Stop blabbering. Didn’t you say that you wanted to see how I could deal with you? I can compress you and hold you in my hand.” After Xu Que spoke, he laughed and pointed his fingers at the white palace on his palm.
SWOOSH!
The white palace instantly released a dazzling radiance.
“Rascal, you dare!” The snake shouted angrily again, and its shout shook the square-shaped piece of land.
“I really dare to do so. If you are so brave, why don’t you come out to fight me?” Xu Que replied cheekily and waved his hand at the area in front of him.
BANG!
A powerful suction force emanated from the white palace in his palm, and it swept the giant piece of land that contained the great snake and the giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine. Everything was drawn into the palace.
The soil started shrinking and was absorbed into the palace in Xu Que’s palm.
The great snake roared ceaselessly, but it still disappeared along with the piece of land, and they were thoroughly collected into the palace.
BANG!
All of a sudden, a muffled noise emanated from Xu Que’s palm, and the suction force disappeared. He had already collected the piece of land and the snake buried in it, but the giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine atop the ground wasn’t collected. It was stuck in Xu Que’s hand.
“F*ck! It was filled completely,” Xu Que said angrily.
He had already expected that it wouldn’t be possible for the white palace to collect both those large objects. But he didn’t expect that it would take the land and leave the giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine outside.
If it was observed from a long distance, it would seem like a giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine was growing out of the white palace in his palm, and it wasn’t proportional to the palace.
“F*ck! Lad, you really dared to collect it,” Duan Jiude, who was standing at the cave mouth, spoke in surprise.
As for Mo Junchen, he wore a bitter look. The faction master was extremely daring, and he had dared to collect even a great snake that had devoured several Gods.
“Do I have another choice? If I left it here, the Divine Farmer Clan’s members might lift its restraints, and we won’t be the sole people harmed. The innumerable people living on the Heaven Continent would be harmed,” Xu Que said righteously.
Duan Jiude chuckled, “Hee, hee.”
The corners of Mo Junchen’s mouth twitched. A while ago, Xu Que had stated that he would bring down everyone in the Heaven Continent. But now, he changed his statement and acted like he had done everything out of concern for the Heaven Continent’s people.
What was the meaning behind this? The few people here had discerned that this guy had obviously taken a liking to the great snake’s body and wanted to take it back to slice several pieces out of it.
“Fine, everything that should be taken was taken, and we must get out.” Xu Que surveyed the surroundings with his eyes and determined that nothing precious had been left here before he decided to leave.

Meanwhile, Buttface was waiting at the entrance of the Underground Mystery Land.
He had taken a deckchair he had found somewhere to lie on it in a leisurely manner with one leg over the other.
He was looking at a few cultivators who were standing next to him, and those people were also looking at Buttface.
“I have said several times that the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines aren’t here, and I can assure you of that. You should leave,” Buttface was trying to persuade them patiently.
The cultivators were unmoved, and they looked at the bloodstains in the vicinity. They wore a grave and solemn look.
The Divine Farmer Clan’s two Taiyi Celestials had been killed, and there weren’t any corpses left behind, but their auras still lingered.
At this moment, the cultivators had obviously recognized those two auras. They didn’t get to see the other people, but just some bloodstains and a dog, and they had managed to guess what had happened.
“F*ck! Are they going to come out so quickly?”
At this moment, Buttface detected something, and he cast a glance at the Underground Mystery Land’s entrance before he looked at the cultivators next to him. He shouted, “I will say again that there aren’t any Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines here. If you don’t trust me, why don’t we make a wager.”
After Buttface spoke, he winked at them and said with a smile, “If you get to see one Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine, I will eat one pound of feces, and if you see two, I will eat two pounds. But if you don’t see any, hee, hee, you have to give me a Celestial Artifact. How about it?”
