Chapter 712: Chapter 549: Soul-Devouring Python Brand Snake Bone Chain

Without the need for conscious thought, the next instant, Gu Changsheng, having reacted, violently started to shake her wrist!

”Dammit, get off me! You dare to cling to me? Getting too big for your boots, aren’t you!”

She screamed until her voice was hoarse!

Dammit, she was afraid of snakes!

She was really afraid of snakes!

The Soul-Devouring Python felt wronged! None of its previous feeders had ever been afraid of snakes! In fact, women from the Southern Border spend all day with Gu insects and very few are afraid of snakes!

But, it just had to meet a bizarre feeder!

This was really difficult for a snake!

For it to move was a bit difficult!

However, it was clear that the feeder was very resistant!

What should it do?

”Hehe ... hehe ... Dandan’s Mom, you’re such a scaredy-cat!” In her mind, the Dandan Bug mercilessly taunted.

”Scaredy-cat your mom’s egg! Every time it touches me, every hair on my body protests! Hurry, hurry up and get down! I’ll find a cloth bag for you to nest in!” Gu Changsheng bellowed in response to hearing this.

Circumventing her feet, she turned and threw herself into Zhou Mu’s arms, continuing to violently shake the little snake off her wrist!

The Soul-Devouring Python, dizzy from the shaking, yet didn’t budge an inch, steadfastly coiled around her wrist!

”Get down!” Looking at the little snake coiled around his woman’s wrist, Zhou Mu spoke with a deep voice, filled with killing intent.

”Oh ... for fuck’s sake, at least shed that sticky skin, okay! Soul-Devouring Python, can’t you transform again? If not, how about you hibernate or something!” Gu Changsheng, seeing the snake body shrink back in fright, spoke with a tearful voice.

Shed its skin? That was even more difficult for the snake!

The Soul-Devouring Python coiled even tighter!

”Haha ... this is killing me with laughter!” In her mind, the Dandan Bug laughed with schadenfreude.

”Laugh again! Laugh and I’ll cut off your food supply!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but threaten, ”Quickly think of something, don’t let it stick to me in such a greasy way! I can’t stand it!”

She really couldn’t stand it! The greasy slick sensation made all her hairs stand on end as if pulling an alarm!

Resistance, coming from the bottom of her heart!

”Hehe ... take out the Chonghua and use your blood to reshape its parasitic body!” After having a good laugh, the Dandan Bug finally did something useful.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng had no hesitation and was all business!

A Chonghua Dagger from her sleeve came into her hand, faintly gleaming with a red light, the next instant, without hesitating, she stabbed it towards her wrist.

Seeing this, Zhou Mu’s eyes narrowed and Yuan Bao and the others also tensed up!

This ... is the Mistress intending to kill the Gu she just acquired?

Although, the Soul-Devouring Python was initially quite terrifying and unsettling, its transformed state seemed quite harmless! Much less threatening ...

The Chonghua Dagger drew out the snake’s blood and then traced a thin line of blood on Gu Changsheng’s wrist, the seeping blood eerily glowing with phosphorescence!

Quickly, the snake’s blood mixed with Gu Changsheng’s blood!

”Dandan’s Mom, what do you want it to look like? It will take whatever shape it has while attached to your body! It will only reveal its original form when it leaves your body.” The Dandan Bug’s voice sounded in Gu Changsheng’s mind.

Looking at the little snake coiled around her wrist, the image of the Snake Bone Chain flashed in Gu Changsheng’s mind!

The snake’s body, as if glowing with phosphorescence, began to turn dark gold from the spot where Gu Changsheng’s blood had spilled, and then started to solidify ...

Gu Changsheng stared, dumbstruck, as the Soul-Devouring Python slowly transformed into a vividly lifelike Snake Bone Chain with rubies set into the snake’s head ...

As if uncomfortable with its new shape, the Soul-Devouring Python squirmed uneasily a few times ...

However, as it moved, what she felt wasn’t the contact with cool, slimy snake skin but the sensation of metal against her skin, and the greasy chill was gone ...

Witnessing this breathtaking transformation, Gu Changsheng was shocked, and so was everyone around her!

”Motherfucker ... this world is too fantastical ...” Gu Changsheng raised her wrist, looking at the lifelike Snake Bone Chain, the snakehead resting on the back of her hand, her mouth twitching violently.

She actually, dammit, had traveled to a fantasy world, hadn’t she?

It’s just that she realized it a little late, right?

This dammit, was just too unscientific, wasn’t it?

Gu Changsheng felt that her worldview had collapsed in an instant, leaving not even a speck of dust behind!

What materialism? She was infinitely leaning towards idealism now!

She lifted her hand to cover her wrist, touching the snake’s body. Zhou Mu grinned and nodded, ”Not bad. Just treat it as a bracelet and wear it.”

With his movement, the Soul-Devouring Python’s Snake Bone Chain shrank a little.

Gu Changsheng was still immersed in her worldview overturn, not returning to her senses until Zhou Mu lifted her onto his horse. They rode together for quite a distance before Gu Changsheng sluggishly came to her senses. ”Why did you follow? Weren’t you supposed to stay and defend Red Sun City?”

”I’m worried,” was Zhou Mu’s brief and forceful reply.

A stream of warmth overflowed in Gu Changsheng’s heart, and a slow smile spread across her face, ”Worried, so you followed, but what about Red Sun City?”

Now that Huaheng had formed an alliance with the Xiangka Clan, they would definitely launch a major attack on the city!

At this time, with her and the evildoer both gone, Gu Changsheng felt a bit of worry in her heart.

”If this king didn’t come, wouldn’t you let the Soul-Devouring Python swallow you?” The image of this woman, lost in thought in front of the gaping maw of the Soul-Devouring Python, still frightened Zhou Mu. In the dark night, his face wasn’t looking very good and his tone was filled with worry that he could hardly hide.

”Ah! That was a mistake! I was careless!” Gu Changsheng immediately retorted upon hearing this.

Damn it, she was reborn in this body, and clearly, the mismatch between her soul and the body made it easier for the Soul-Devouring Python to take a bite!

That was a message passed to her by the python itself!

Even Gu Changsheng didn’t know that her soul was incompatible with this body!

A careless mistake caused Jingzhou to be lost! This humiliation seemed inerasable! She could tell from the scoffing sound from the man behind her – he damn well thought it was laughable!

”Red Sun City has Yue Xilou and Little Junior Sister. They can defend the city from attack, no problem. Don’t underestimate Little Junior Sister just because she seems careless on ordinary days. After all, she is trained by the same master as this king. Even if she’s not as adept as you in Military Tactics and Strategies, she isn’t far behind. With her there, along with your Dark Night Army, you really don’t have to worry.” Yue Ye urged the horse forward while Zhou Mu spoke soothingly to the woman in his arms.

Gu Changsheng nestled against his chest and obediently nodded her head.

If attacking the city was no obstacle for the Dark Night Army, then defending it, naturally, was even less concerning taking advantage of the terrain.

She hadn’t concealed her tracks when she left Red Sun City. Xiangka Tianji would definitely send masters to pursue and trap her. Thus, without the strong Gu Cultivation Masters from the Southern Border, the Dark Night Army would be much safer!

”No matter where you go, this king will accompany you. I won’t let you face danger alone,” Zhou Mu said in a deep voice, hugging the woman in his arms tighter.

”Mm...” Gu Changsheng softly responded, feeling the warmth of his embrace.

Today, she saw Zhou Mu take action for the first time, realizing that the genteel man by her side was incredibly decisive and ruthless when his longsword was drawn!

The man doting on her, known in the rumors as the Undefeated War God of Great Zhou, truly lived up to his reputation!

Beneath the moonlight, ten fast horses, carrying ten people, sped through the forest.

Only after they had left the battle site with Dudu Zhi and crossed another mountain did they stop to rest.

Si Xi caught a few rabbits; now, Yuan Bao was starting a fire, roasting rabbits on the side while the others sat around their wives and husbands.

A Geomancy Map was spread out on the ground. Gu Changsheng marked the routes she had traveled outside Red Sun City on the map, speaking as she drew, ”The Old Devout Woman from the Dudu Family was just the first team sent to intercept me. Knowing they failed, Xiangka Tianji will undoubtedly send others to continue. Our journey is destined not to be peaceful.”

The people around her nodded. Zhou Mu passed a cup of wine to her side, and the rich aroma of the wine instantly diffused.

Gu Changsheng was someone who dearly loved comfort. Even though she ventured out alone, she was well-prepared, carrying all daily necessities on the horse.

After finishing the map, Gu Changsheng picked up the cup and took a sip, comfortably squinting her eyes.

”We’ve been away from Red Sun City for two or three days now, traveling over eight hundred miles, and along the way, we haven’t seen any trace of a major troop movement by the Huaheng or Xiangka Clans!” Zhou Mu looked at the Geomancy Map with a slightly furrowed brow, speaking in a grave tone, ”Logically, the armies of Red Sun City and the Xiangka Clans clashing shouldn’t be too far away from Red Sun City. Since they have formed an alliance, the battles should have ceased by now. The fact that they haven’t regrouped to attack Red Sun City within two or three days is indeed strange.”

”Is son-in-law suggesting that something has happened in between?” Xiao Cui asked, puzzled.

Zhou Mu nodded, ”The Huaheng Clan, willing to abandon their base and use the strategy of luring the general into the urn, must have come to an agreement with the Xiangka Clan. They’re not fools. Considering that the Dark Night Army captured Red Sun City, they should have launched an attack while the Dark Night Army still hadn’t fully secured the city, intending to annihilate us in one fell swoop.”

”Exactly, which is why I waited at Red Sun City for so many days, just waiting for them to attack all at once so I could give them a warning. But after waiting so long, they didn’t send a large army!” Gu Changsheng nodded and said, ”Now that Red Sun City is firmly in the hands of the Dark Night Army, and defensive measures have been put in place, it’s either they’ve turned foolish or something has held them back!”

At this point, Gu Changsheng paused, inhaling the scent of roasted meat with satisfaction and curling her lips into a mocking smile, ”Now, it seems there’s a good show to watch...”

”What do you mean by that, my lady?” Xiao Cui asked, clearly confused.

Gu Changsheng lifted her gaze to the night sky, where stars twinkled. She narrowed her phoenix eyes and spoke hesitantly, ”If they can’t unite against a common enemy, it means that there’s an unresolved internal conflict...”

”Uh...” Xiao Cui was still clueless.

The others around her couldn’t quite follow Gu Changsheng’s train of thought either.

But Zhou Mu’s lips slowly formed a smile, ”In that case, we don’t need to rush to Great Swamp Mountain. Instead, we should go and check out the battleground between the Huaheng and Xiangka Clans!”

”Yes.” Gu Changsheng nodded and lifted an eyebrow, ”Know yourself and your enemy, and you will always be victorious in battle. This trip might provide us with unexpected gains and also alleviate our concerns for the rear...”
