Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 866: Chapter 508: A Single Drop of Blood, Ranked Among the Immortals!_2

Maya Leaf patted her chest, still shaken.

“My God, that was a poisonous giant python,” she gasped. “When did that python appear beside us without any of us noticing?”

Logan’s gaze darkened, and his expression turned grim.

“With our cultivation level, if a giant python was really approaching us, it’s impossible for us not to sense it, unless… the python has been here from the start…”

Maya Leaf understood the trick to it and covered her mouth in surprise.

“You mean, the python has been lurking here all along?”

“But we just arrived, and as cunning as a python can be, it couldn’t possibly have foreseen our actions, unless…”

Before she could finish, Logan interrupted.

“Unless its target was Little White from the beginning,” he continued. “It seems if we hadn’t arrived in time, the python might have swallowed Little White whole.”

Towards the end, his face became particularly grave, and he was in a foul mood, not daring to think about the situation, not even daring to imagine it.

Just thinking of Little White, who had just been born not long ago, being swallowed by the python made Logan uncomfortably upset, his stomach turning at the thought.

Looking at the giant python, his face showed nothing but bad feelings.

“How dare it covet my spirit pet, it seems I can’t let it live!”

The other two unsheathed their weapons hurriedly, intending to assist him. First, to help Logan, and second, they had just faced a threat to their own lives and were naturally deeply resentful.

So, the poisonous giant python was bound to be eliminated no matter what. The few of them exchanged glances and tacitly moved towards the python.

The python saw them as easy prey; its gigantic tail swept at them, but sadly, though massive, it was clumsy, and the three people leapt and dodged the tail smoothly.

The next second, each person released their skills.

Whether it was an array, beast pet, or demonic qi, everything hit the python hard.

The python was no match for them, getting thrashed completely, perhaps itself not expecting to die in such a miserable manner.

It seemed as if these people had some deep grudge against it, hurling their skills relentlessly. It had no chance to escape.

In the end, amidst pain and wailing, it fell into a deadly unconsciousness.

The enormous serpent’s body was covered in wounds, looking very fierce, but the people on the ground showed not a trace of pity or sympathy, only coldness and disgust.

“Having dealt with the giant python, Brother Logan must feel somewhat relieved,” one person said.

Logan nodded, his face easing up a bit, though he said nothing.

“Now there’s only the issue with Little White left. Young Master Logan, have you figured out why Little White has been in a continuous slumber? Could it have been attacked by the python before? It’s not poisoned, is it?”

Logan stroked Little White’s smooth fur, his eyes suddenly softening as he shook his head.

“No, while we were fighting the python, I also took the opportunity to check Little White’s body. It’s not injured; on the contrary, there’s a huge amount of energy inside it, undergoing refinement. If I’m not mistaken, it sneaked out before and ate some spirit fruit. The process of refinement requires significant effort and a lot of time, which is why it’s in a deep slumber.”

As he spoke, the worry in his brows disappeared, and he exhaled a long breath of relief.

“Thankfully, this isn’t a bad thing for Little White. After the slumber and the refinement of the spiritual energy, it’ll slowly wake up, and its cultivation level will also reach a new height. This little fox always knows how to worry me, fortunately, this time disaster led to a blessing.”

Logan explained, ending with a light complaint.

Hearing this, both Maya Leaf and Lexi Carr almost sighed in relief together and exchanged smiles.

Seeing Little White’s endearing appearance, Maya Leaf couldn’t help but stroke it gently.

“Ah, who would have expected our Little White to be such a lucky little fox, finding spirit fruit by just wandering off. With such innate gifts, Little White’s future cultivation is sure to be impressive.”

No one dislikes compliments about their pets, let alone Logan, who’s particularly protective of them.

Hearing Maya Leaf say so, he can’t help but crack a slight smile.

“Yes, I hope Little White grows up well. I don’t ask for much, just for it to be safe and healthy,” he said.

After all, unlike other Spirit Pets, this one was born to be raised by him. In the process of raising it, he saw it not only as a pet but also somewhat as his own child.

Therefore, Logan hadn’t really thought about leveraging Little White’s strength. He would rather see Little White grow up and live as long as possible.

Of course, if he could enhance Little White’s cultivation level in the process, that would be even better.

He would be happy about anything good for Little White.

However, as the group was chatting away, Logan sensed something amiss.

“Such Spirit Fruits should be hard to come by, so why isn’t there a guardian beast?”

Thinking of this, Logan’s brow furrowed with an ominous premonition.

“Perhaps the guardian beast had something to attend to, which is why our Little White had the good fortune to find this,” Maya Leaf soothed him, not taking it seriously.

But Logan still felt something was off, stroking Little White’s fur without responding.

“Let’s just leave quickly, just in case,” he decided.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling and thought it best to leave.

The other two, although they didn’t understand the rush, followed him. But before they could get away, someone suddenly blocked their path.

“Stop right there! You have stolen my Spirit Fruit, and you think you can just walk away easily? Hand over my Spirit Fruit now!”

The man looked like he had just been through a tough fight, with his clothes torn here and there, and his face a mess, glaring at them viciously.

It seemed the man had been guarding the Spirit Fruit for a long time, and his sudden loss was naturally a huge blow, leaving him furious and frustrated.

“You little thieves! I just went out for a moment, and you dare to steal my Spirit Fruit? If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’ll turn all of you to ash. Hand over my Spirit Fruit!”

With these words, he suddenly emitted a terrifying aura, full of oppressive force.

Logan’s gaze shifted, but he wasn’t too worried. After all, his pet had already eaten the Spirit Fruit. Since it was a fact, there was no use worrying about it. Besides, he did not believe this man was the owner of the Spirit Fruit.

“Stolen your Spirit Fruit? If I’m not mistaken, this Spirit Fruit is exceptionally precious, maturing once every thousand years. I wonder if you have even lived a hundred years. How has something naturally grown become yours? Isn’t it whoever obtains it first owns it?”

“You!”

The man was hit hard by the truth, feeling guilty as well as furious and annoyed.

“It’s best you step aside. We have already harvested the Spirit Fruit, so naturally, it belongs to us. You have no right to claim as the owner or to demand compensation. By continuing like this, you’re only embarrassing yourself!”

Maya Leaf and Lexi Carr also felt much more confident now, joining in the mockery.

“Exactly, the Spirit Fruit is nurtured by nature’s spiritual energy; it’s not like you gave birth to it. What proof do you have that just claiming it’s yours makes it so?”

“Whoever finds it first owns it, isn’t that how it goes for all the world’s Spiritual Treasures? You were just a step too slow, who else can you blame?”

The man’s face grew uglier with the mockery from both sides, twisting in anger.

“You, you all, you’re courting death!”

Enraged, the man’s face contorted grotesquely as he drew his longsword and launched an attack against them.
