Chapter 59 Enemies and Friends

Chapter 108 Thunder Tribulation

The golden lightning was incredibly terrifying. People had never seen such lightning, carrying with it the power to destroy the world. As soon as it appeared, the entire Xichuan Town was filled with the aura of doomsday.

When it fell, the void seemed to crack open a golden crevice, and people felt apprehensive and suppressed.

But.

Zhang Ji raised his oval king cobra head, opened his blood-red mouth, and swallowed the golden lightning in one gulp.

Too crazy.

This was an incredibly frightening scene, leaving everyone speechless in an instant.

At the edge of the forest, the lurking black-robed high priest was also stunned, his eyes wide, his little darling falling to the ground in droves.

But he didn't have time to pick them up, because his mind was blank, completely shocked by the scene before him.

Immediately, he revealed a happy and excited smile, "This king cobra is doomed! If it's not dead after this, I'll eat my little darlings!"

With the golden lightning down its throat, one end connected to the black clouds in the sky, and the other connected to Zhang Ji's snake mouth, quickly forming a golden current that ran through Zhang Ji's hundred-meter snake body.

"Boom, boom, crackle, crackle~"

Its snake body was exploding inside, golden arcs were shooting out, and golden lightning fire was burning on the snake scales. The flames were not strong, but they were extremely terrifying, instantly melting Zhang Ji's snake scales and flesh, emitting a clear smell of barbecue.

And it smelled quite good.

"Awoo--"

Zhang Ji screamed in pain, but his heart was filled with ecstasy and excitement.

Because the mysterious iron chains and shackles rooted deep in his flesh and blood were rapidly dissolving and disappearing. The golden lightning was obliterating his flesh, but it was also disintegrating the shackles on his body.

But the speed at which his flesh was being obliterated was faster than the speed at which the shackles were disintegrating, and his life force was rapidly weakening.

At a glance, the hundred-meter-long giant python had turned into a charred snake, completely riddled with injuries. The snake scales had been destroyed by the golden lightning fire, and only the three most solid heads still had their shapes. The other parts could no longer be identified as a snake.

Instead, it looked more like a charred hundred-meter-long mountain range.

Such a tragic scene caused the people in the distance to look on with horror and shock, their bodies trembling.

Cao Xinyin, of the rooster zodiac, gesticulated while trembling: "Transcending tribulation and ascending to immortality is a narrow escape, and the path to enlightenment for different species is even more cruel. It's really true. Those dog authors didn't deceive us. My recommendation votes and monthly votes were not wasted!"

Han Dayou, of the pig zodiac, gesticulated with fear in his eyes: "Who can survive such a lightning tribulation? Isn't this deadly?"

The people around him nodded one after another, "The black clouds in the void haven't dissipated yet, and the lightning tribulation isn't over yet. If this continues, the king cobra will definitely die."

Some were happy, and some were worried.

Liu Youshan, Hu San, and others from the Heavenly Snake Gang arrived, looking nervous and anxious, their faces full of worry as they looked at Zhang Ji, who was already unrecognizable as a snake in the distance.

"Lord Snake, you must hold on!"

"You're so ferocious, you can definitely survive this tribulation!"

They prayed in their hearts.

"Crack~"

The golden lightning in the void struck again, and the aura of destruction surged, creating a hurricane that howled between heaven and earth. The lightning struck Zhang Ji's three heads.

Scales shattered, golden lightning fire burned, and flesh and blood melted away, revealing Zhang Ji's skull.

"Pa~"

His white-eyed wolf king head cracked open, exploding like a watermelon. It was invaded by golden lightning fire, and even the skull was turning black. Finally, with a "boom," this head, as big as a hill, fell to the ground.

There was no flesh, and the scales had long since melted and fallen off. Only the wolf skull could be seen, ferocious and terrifying, still burning with golden lightning fire.

Zhang Ji let out a painful howl, low and terrifying, like the wail of a demon from hell, causing chills to run down the spines of everyone around.

He had lost a head, which was equivalent to losing one of his lives.

"Boom~"

Thunder rumbled in the void, and the third golden lightning bolt struck, instantly causing Zhang Ji's raised front body to fall to the ground. The head of the alien ferocious monster broke off, turning into a skull that rolled far away, its bones black and charred.

His second life was also gone.

Now he only had the king cobra's head left. This was his original head, incredibly solid. After being baptized by three golden lightning bolts, the scales had melted and fallen off, most of the flesh had disappeared, and it was extremely miserable.

Zhang Ji could no longer make a sound and felt extremely weak.

Rumble~

Black clouds rolled in the void, and the final golden lightning bolt fell, causing Zhang Ji's snake body to explode. Only a charred snake head remained, like a small mountain, burning in the golden lightning fire.

Motionless.

And in the void, the tribulation clouds finally dissipated, and the lightning disappeared.

Heaven and earth returned to silence, only the terrifying aura still remained in the wilderness, and the fragmented snake body was burned into black ash. Occasionally, one or two broken snake scales smoldered with black smoke.

The entire desolate area was a mess, barren of grass, and the earth was scorched black by lightning.

The three hideous heads were scattered, the golden lightning fire on them unextinguished, like torches burning brightly, illuminating the night.

Far away.

The crowd looked at each other, all in a daze and silence, and then they all cheered excitedly, with the sounds of cattle, sheep, and chickens... all kinds of animal sounds resounding together.

"Is the king cobra dead? Was it struck to death by lightning!"

"Thank God for removing a scourge for our Xichuan Town. Everyone can happily eat grass together in the future and live in peace, without having to worry about the king cobra eating us."

"This is retribution! This evil snake is finally dead!"

They embraced each other with joy and excitement.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly asked:

"The king cobra is dead, but if there are foreign invasions in the future, can we resist them with our strength? Don't forget that there is still a pack of giant wolves alive in the Misty Forest!"

This sentence instantly made everyone feel as if they had fallen into hell.

Someone angrily cursed on the spot, "Damn king cobra, why didn't you devour all those giant wolves? Why did you leave them alive?!"

"Isn't this deliberately annoying people?"

These voices were very harsh and very realistic.

In the crowd, the giant ferocious Suanni dragon Chen Long arrived. Hearing this, he frowned, feeling extremely disgusted by the faces of these people. He retreated into the distance, ashamed to be associated with this group.

They shouted that the king cobra should not have a good death, but they did not know that they were even more hateful and hateful.

When they sold their daughters and wives in exchange for a pack of instant noodles to produce milk and lay eggs, had they ever thought that their actions were more unforgivable than those of the king cobra?

"Ignorance and weakness are not the greatest obstacles to survival, but shamelessness and hypocrisy are!" Long Chen shook his head sarcastically, his eyes full of contempt.

"They are all a group of selfish and self-serving people. When the Xichuan Town disaster broke out, their true nature was exposed, but they tried to cover it up, blaming all the sins and evils on the king cobra."

"Compared to them, I prefer the king cobra. It eats you when it wants to, and the only reason is that it's hungry!"

"Unlike them, they want to erect a monument to chastity after becoming prostitutes."

Long Chen's face was full of disdain. He glanced at the three huge heads in the distance, still being burned by the golden lightning fire, motionless, as if they were dead.

His heart was filled with a strange complexity, and his eyes were filled with emotion.

"Ferocious king cobra, do you know that in this Xichuan Town, I have always regarded you as the greatest enemy and also as the best example. I hope that one day I can evolve to be as strong as you, stand at the top of the food chain, and be a supreme overlord like you!"

"Today, seeing you roar and transcend the tribulation, I don't know what happened, why you were struck by lightning. Does the end of evolution encounter such a crisis? I don't know!"

"Maybe, even if I knew, I wouldn't dare to rashly transcend the tribulation. I admit that I hate you, I fear you, but at this moment, I, Long Chen, admire you!"

"If you didn't die, if you were human, I think we might become friends, drink and laugh together, talk about women together, evolve together in Xichuan Town, and find hope."

His expression was bleak, and his eyes were sad. Looking at the tragic end of the king cobra in the distance, he thought of his own future, which might not be any better.

This was a complex mood.

Behind him, Niu Datong and a group of subordinates from the Divine Dragon Sect comforted him.

Long Chen waved his claws, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, and sighed:

"The strongest king cobra in Xichuan Town is dead. From now on, I, Long Chen, will have no more opponents and can wreak havoc. I suddenly understand how lonely invincibility is, invincibility makes people annoyed. I will be accompanied by loneliness and annoyance from now on, alas~"

Hearing this, a group of subordinates, including Niu Datong, were dumbfounded.

He had been caught off guard and once again been shown off by the sect leader.

Far away.

Cao Xinyin, the six-tailed Danghu chicken, stood on the half-collapsed wall, looking out at the ferocious snake heads burned by golden lightning fire in the wilderness, his eyes full of doubt.

Next to him, the bristled pig, Han Dayou, approached.

"Brother Cao, what do you think?" He pointed to the remains of the king cobra in the wilderness with his pig's hoof, his eyes gleaming.

Cao Xinyin flapped his wings and gesticulated:

"Based on my many years of experience in reading novels, this ferocious king cobra seems to be the protagonist of a plane, and also the persona of a major villain."

"Can such a creature really die so easily?"

"No! It may still be alive..."

Hearing this, the bristled pig suddenly turned his head, looking at Cao Xinyin with surprise, his eyes with a strange emotion, "Brother Cao, I increasingly feel that we are destined, are you still single?"

Hearing this, Cao Xinyin was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the bristled pig's crotch, and was immediately shocked, "So, you are a pig girl..."

The bristled pig revealed a shy smile and extended a pig's hoof: "Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Han Xiaoya!"

"Forgive me for cross-dressing as a man and using a fake name, because too many people covet my body, and people have been stealing pigs in the middle of the night recently."

Cao Xinyin: ".......”
