Chapter 126 Frightened Escape

　　On the streets of Snake King City.

　　Huang An, a Zhonghua pastoral dog, accompanied a burly young man. They occasionally exchanged a few jokes, but the man's expression was arrogant.

　　He was Bei Liu's second cousin-in-law, Wang Qiang, courier number 006 of the Great Wilderness Express.

　　His clothes were thin, but his build was sturdy and魁梧, with his muscles gnarled like intertwined dragons, his eyes deep and majestic with a terrifying aura, and a yellow vest covering his upper body.

　　He had arrived in Xichuan Town a month ago, but after Bei Liu’s earnest persuasion, he had stayed in the deep cave of the sinkhole until today before coming out, and he was very angry.

　　He was, after all, a ten-thousand-year-old ferocious demon. In the Great Wilderness, every mountain had to give him some respect. Yet, when he came to this small Xichuan Town, he was made to sit on the sidelines.

　　Now that he had finally entered this Snake King City, which was still under construction, he couldn't see the king cobra for half a day. Instead, he was being accompanied by a dog, wasting his time.

　　"You're called Huang An, right? Your king here is a king cobra, isn't he? What's his cultivation realm? Does he have the strength of a millennium-old demon?" Wang Qiang asked coldly.

　　Huang An was stunned. "Millennium-old demon? What kind of realm is that? Is it stronger than an ancient beast?"

　　His gang leader, Hu San, was an ancient beast. In his mind, Hu San was the second strongest expert in Xichuan Town besides Snake Lord.

　　Wang Qiang laughed upon hearing this, shaking his head with contempt.

　　"What a barren ancient land! I thought this had something to do with Lang Li Yao of the Black Wolf Tribe, some mysterious place. Now it seems that not only is the primordial energy here pitifully depleted, but your weakness and ignorance are also laughable."

　　Huang An didn't quite understand, but he understood that the other party was mocking him.

　　"Let me remind you, my courier friend, weakness and ignorance are not the biggest obstacles to survival; arrogance is!" Huang An's eyes were deep. These were words Snake Lord had said in the past, which the gang leader had recorded and often used to show off. He was borrowing it today.

　　Seeing the astonished look in Wang Qiang's eyes, Huang An coldly smiled and said, "Also, please put away your pitiful arrogance and contempt. Otherwise, if you meet our Snake Lord with that attitude, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Snake King City."

　　Wang Qiang laughed heartily, tears almost coming out of his eyes, but his expression became even colder. "Little dog, do you know what level of creature I am?"

　　Huang An shook his head.

　　Wang Qiang pointed at his dog nose and chuckled, "Remember this: I am a Jiao Dragon of the ten-thousand-year ferocious demon level, a top expert of the Great Wilderness, only one step away from a Heavenly Beast!"

　　As he spoke, his head suddenly turned into the head of a Jiao Dragon, and a huge Jiao Dragon phantom flashed through the void, its terrifying aura sweeping through the air like a storm.

　　Huang An staggered back a few steps in shock, but still said coldly, "What's the big deal about scaring me? If you have the guts, transform into your Jiao Dragon form when you meet our Snake Lord later."

　　Wang Qiang smiled, too lazy to say anything more to him. A level nine ferocious beast dog who wasn’t even an ancient beast, though with an evil and strange aura, was too low-level. He didn't bother to waste words on such a character.

　　As for the Snake Lord he spoke of, the king cobra who ruled this place, Wang Qiang believed that even if he was strong, he wouldn't exceed the strength of a millennium-old demon.

　　After all, the primordial energy here was depleted, and the laws were shackled. The other party might have some secret method to shield himself from the Heavenly Dao and break through his cultivation, but he could never surpass himself.

　　....

　　Wang Qiang thought, confidently believing that with his strength as a ten-thousand-year-old demon, he could definitely dominate this ancient relic land.

　　At this moment, footsteps came from afar, and a figure came through the mist. It was Bei Liu.

　　He walked over with a happy expression, waving his hand as he said, "Second cousin-in-law, Snake Lord has summoned you. Come with me to meet Snake Lord."

　　Wang Qiang frowned. "I'm going to meet Snake Lord?"

　　He glanced at Bei Liu with dissatisfaction. "Just tell him I'm tired and that he should come to pay his respects to me!"

　　Bei Liu's eyes widened. "Second cousin-in-law, did delivering couriers make you stupid? How can you say that!" He looked around in fright and just happened to see Huang An turning around with a sneer in his eyes. Bei Liu felt something was wrong.

　　That dog was definitely going to snitch.

　　Hu San's dog gang loved to do this kind of thing, which made people hate them.

　　He anxiously said, "Second cousin-in-law, quickly follow me. I won't waste any words. Your strength may be strong, but you absolutely can't be arrogant here. If you're a dragon, you have to coil up; if you're a tiger, you have to lie down. If you continue to speak without thinking, my second cousin will definitely be a widow."

　　Wang Qiang was both angry and surprised when he heard this. "Tell me the truth. What is the cultivation and strength of this king cobra? Has he reached the realm of a millennium-old demon?"

　　"Millennium-old demon? I don't know, but a few days ago, a guy who claimed to be the Tiger Clan Demon Emperor of the Twelve Divine Kingdoms came to yell, but Snake Lord swallowed him in one gulp."

　　"What?! A Demon Emperor was swallowed in one gulp? What the hell... Tell me you're drunk and joking with me?" Wang Qiang's expression changed drastically with fear and trembling.

　　An existence at the level of a Demon Emperor was definitely an extremely powerful being among the Heavenly Beasts, far stronger than an ancient beast. He had been delivering couriers for many years, searching for countless heavenly treasures, but he had not broken through to become a Heavenly Beast.

　　Not to mention a Demon Emperor.

　　But now, Bei Liu was actually telling him that the king cobra in Xichuan Town had swallowed a Demon Emperor in one gulp, which shocked him to the core.

　　Bei Liu nodded and sighed. "This is true. Would I lie to my second cousin-in-law? This king cobra is a true terror, extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty. He even eats his own sons and daughters."

　　"Why do my second cousin and I have to stay in this barren ancient land where even shitting isn't fun, not even daring to think about escaping? It's because we're afraid!"

　　Wang Qiang's face turned pale with fright. He suddenly reacted and looked behind him, only to find that the Zhonghua pastoral dog with yellow fur was gone. He stamped his feet in anger and fear.

　　"That guy must have gone to inform on me. Dammit! I said a lot of bad things about the king cobra just now. I'm done for. I'm not here to deliver a courier; I'm here to deliver my head."

　　When Bei Liu heard that he had actually said bad things about Snake Lord in front of Huang An, he fell to the ground in fright. Who was the last person who said bad things about Snake Lord? He forgot, but in short, he was eventually swallowed by Snake Lord bit by bit, leaving no渣渣.

　　Looking at his second cousin-in-law in front of him, Bei Liu was filled with hatred and anger. He quickly pulled out the white bone snake knife from his waist, cut off a piece of his clothes with a "swoosh," and shouted, "Wang Qiang, from this moment on, we sever our ties and are no longer acquainted."

　　Then, he took out a red book from his bosom.

　　"This is the Great Wilderness marriage certificate for you and my second cousin. In the name of my second cousin, I announce that you have been divorced! From now on, you are no longer my second cousin-in-law!"

　　….

　　He was stern and unusually serious.

　　This concerned life and death. He had to clear himself, or it would be too late if he got burned.

　　He had always thought that his second cousin-in-law was a talented person, but he became arrogant as soon as he gained some strength. He forgot that the original intention of walking in the Great Wilderness was "caution, caution, and more caution." Today, he had actually provoked Snake Lord.

　　"You, you're dead...!"

　　Bei Liu looked at Wang Qiang with pity, then ran away quickly. He had to go to Snake Lord to confess his sins before Huang An of the dog gang, so as to minimize his influence in Snake Lord's mind.

　　Wang Qiang stared blankly at the torn clothes on the ground, his face turning red and green with anger. He shouted, "Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei, damn it! Bei Liu, you green turtle, what right do you have to divorce me on behalf of your second cousin?!"

　　"So what if the king cobra can swallow a Demon Emperor? I, Wang Qiang, am not weak either! I am a powerful ten-thousand-year ferocious demon. I roam the Great Wilderness delivering couriers. I am fearless, killing gods when I meet them and slaying demons when I encounter them. I... alas, forget it. I'll retreat today!"

　　He was about to leave when a gentle and surprised voice came from the mist in the direction of the front of the blood-colored mountain range under his feet: "Second cousin-in-law, are you going back already? I haven't signed for my courier yet. Where are you going?"
