The Medical Guru

Before the pond where the Seven-storey Tower grew were only four steps. Up these steps was a wide path paved with stones used to construct the pyramid. It led directly into the palace.

The palace had no gate.

Fang Qiu could see the situation inside at a glance.

Because Fang Qiu had been looking around, he didn’t carefully study the palace’s interior.

...

With this chance…

Fang Qiu looked up.

There…

Other than a few luminous pearls, there wasn’t anything else in the palace. Like the outside, there were many stone pillars on both sides of the palace hall. Among those stone pillars on the right side lay a stone sculpture that looked like a coiled dragon.

Somehow…

The floor of the palace hall was thickly covered with many broken pieces of what seemed to be rocks.

“Nothing.”

Fang Qiu frowned.

He didn’t detect any energy aura there — there was nothing in the palace’s hall either.

At this time…

At the edge of the pool…

...

The eight gurus were locked in a tangled fight. Among the fierce collisions, a huge explosion was heard. Then the seven of them were instantly pushed far away by this powerful force.

There was only one person near the pool!

Fang Qiu took a closer look.

Surprisingly, that person was none other than the Murica guru, a descendant of Vampires!

Instantly…

Everyone’s eyes narrowed sharply!

Fang Qiu’s heart was instantly filled with anxiety. He mobilized his internal Qi and decided not to hide his strength anymore. He had to get the Seven-storey Tower first.

Over there…

The Murica guru was stunned for a moment. Then, with a look of ecstasy on his face, he reached out to seize the Seven-storey Tower.

Everyone felt a prickle of disquiet.

Right at this moment…

“ROARRR…”

Abruptly…

A deafening howl rang out.

A stream of powerful energy Qi, which was as thick as a bucket, suddenly rushed over from afar. Like a bolt of lightning, the unparalleled powerful energy Qi flashed before the Murica guru in a second. It slashed at his back, which sent him flying instantly.

This sudden scene stunned everyone present.

Fang Qiu quickly turned to look.

There…

A huge, triangular-shaped head with a wide-open mouth appeared at the palace entrance before the pool. There was a sharp horn growing above its head!

Everyone turned to look at it.

When the giant snake closed its mouth, the incomparably powerful energy Qi that had sent the Murica guru flying dissipated in an instant.

Upon closer inspection, Fang Qiu found that below its head, the snake was golden in color, the same color as the floor.

It was that stone sculpture in the palace!

Right now…

The enormous snake, with its long, statue-like body, slithered outside.

With every movement it took, cracks appeared on its statue-like body. Through those cracks, one could see that the giant snake was pulling rapidly away from its cracked skin.

By the time it stripped off the skin, the enormous snake had already wound its way out of the palace. At present, it coiled itself up on the large open space in front of the palace entrance. Slowly, it raised its head. When it abruptly hissed, the place near its head where its heart was suddenly became hollow.

Seeing this…

Many people paled with fear.

Some weaker ones freaked out completely and even wet themselves!

“A cobra, a king cobra!”

“I’m a dead man. We’re done. How could there be such an enormous cobra?”

“I don’t want to die. I want to live.”

Some people even howled in fear.

This king cobra was excessively huge.

Not to mention them…

Even Fang Qiu and the eight gurus were petrified.

But…

There was a difference between them.

The eight gurus and other people were astonished at its enormous size, but Fang Qiu was attracted by something else.

That was the king cobra’s abdomen.

Above its abdomen, Fang Qiu spotted four protruding bumps that looked like claws that hadn’t been fully formed!

“Is it still a snake?”

Fang Qiu was secretly shocked.

At this moment, he finally understood why pieces of broken stones were strewn all over the palace. He had thoroughly searched around with his Divine Consciousness but perceived no aura. Why did it only appear when the Seven-storey Tower was about to be taken away?

All of this was because it was a snake!

Judging from how the king cobra slid out of the palace, he knew it wasn’t sealed in the stone sculpture. Instead, the thing that looked like a piece of carved stone was actually its snake slough!

Why couldn’t his Divine Consciousness detect any aura at all? It was because this king cobra evolved by using this form of hibernation!
