[Master: Ye Chen]

Description: Possessing a relatively rich Titan Python Bloodline, it is currently at the peak of infancy. There is sufficient time and a chance to evolve into the Divine Beast, Titan Python.

At first, Ye Chen was a little puzzled when he saw the grade. It was originally an S-Rank Beast King but why was there a SS-Rank Beast later on? Now, looking at the introduction of the Overlord Python, Ye Chen realized and completely understood.

He knew why this egg was in the altar space of the Mystic Realm and also knew what those crazy humans were doing. No wonder it was destroyed!

The so-called forbidden cultivation method was only one of the reasons. The bigger reason was right here.

They were producing a Divine Beast!

That’s right, the egg was being manipulated to produce a Divine Beast!

Furthermore, it had actually made a breakthrough. The Overlord Python in front of him was a good example.

As long as they were given time, they could produce Divine Beasts one after another. After a few years, it would not be a problem to conquer the wilderness!

At the thought of this, Ye Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. He could not help but admire the ambition and strength of the ancestors. They were really terrifying.

However, now was not the time to think about this. Currently, there was a huge matter of life and death knocking on his doorstep. It seemed like a long time had passed just now but the hatching had actually been completed in an instant.

Hiss… Hiss…

The Overlord Python circled around the room and raised its head. Its purple eyes stared at Ye Chen non-stop. The purple patterns on its body flashed. It overall looked very demonic.

Ye Chen looked at the Overlord Python and it was unknown what he was thinking. He could not possibly say that he was in danger now and needed to send it to death to block the Beast Tide and give himself time to hatch the bird, right?

Before the recent experiences, Ye Chen would have been very afraid if he saw such a snake-like animal.

After coming to the wilderness, he had seen all kinds of wild beasts and experienced many things before changing his impression of this mutated beast that was hatched with his blood.

Ye Chen had a strange feeling in his heart. He did not reject it but felt guilty. To put it bluntly, the reason why he hatched it was to fend for himself.

However, when it really hatched, this Overlord Python gave Ye Chen the feeling that it was his child again. If he let his child fend for him, he would not be able to get over it.

Even if this child was much stronger than his father…

“Hiss…”

As if it could see the reluctance and guilt in Ye Chen’s eyes, the Overlord Python was not as eloquent as the Divine Phoenix and Kun Peng to express its emotions.

It only extended its head over and gently touched Ye Chen’s forehead a few times. It took a deep look at Ye Chen and then directly broke through the room door and headed towards the tribe entrance at high speed.

After leaving the tribe, the Overlord Python lived up to its name. Its body kept enlarging and it occupied the narrowest spot between the valley and the tribe, completely blocking it.

It could not withstand the poison of the Plague Bird either. Why not stay here and create a huge meat shield for Ye Chen to buy time?

In the tribe, Ye Chen looked at the Overlord Python’s last reluctant gaze before it froze in place. No one knew what he was thinking.

Ye Chen knew that look meant goodbye forever.

He had only dripped a drop of blood to hatch it. Why was it able to throw its life away for him once it came out?

If it was a human carrying a child for ten months, that would be understandable. However, he had just dripped a drop of blood!

Why could it sacrifice itself without hesitation to protect him?

Instantly, Ye Chen’s eyes turned red. He did not care if the Overlord Python could hear him or not as he shouted out, “Overlord Python, I name you Little Purple.”

“Live on, live on!”

At this moment, Ye Chen threw the lineup of all the Divine Beasts in the past to the back of his mind. If they were not Divine Beasts, then so be it. F*ck them!

I want Little Purple!

Regardless of its rank and breed, even if it was an E-Rank, he would raise it and treat it as his closest companion. They would live and die together!

When he shouted it out, he thought he saw Little Purple turn and look at him. He flicked out his tongue. His eyes were filled with attachment and reluctance…

A minute passed. Ye Chen could not wait and continue watching.

[Mutated Beast Egg: Bind it to hatch.]

[Hidden prompt message: If it hatches now, host will obtain an S-Rank Demon Hell Hound]

[Hidden prompt message: Incubation for one minute. Obtainable: B-Rank Mutated Beast—Vigor Ape]

“F*ck! F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!”

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

Ye Chen was furious. He slammed his hand on the table angrily and did not even care that his palm was bleeding.

It was not that Ye Chen did not fancy an S-Rank Demon Hell Hound. It was just that after it hatched, it might not have enough strength like Little Purple and would just send it to death.

If the Demon Hell Hound was some kind of flying type, Ye Chen would hatch it without hesitation and then take Little Purple with him to escape from this place.

Outside the tribe, the Beast Tide arrived at the location of the Plague Birds.

Facing the hordes of Plague Birds, the beasts in front of the Beast Tide did not care at all and directly charged through. The stimulation of the medicinal powder made them not afraid at all.

The outcome was obvious. The Plague Birds were knocked to death and exploded. The wild beasts within the range of the explosion died from the poison.

It had to be said that the Plague Birds were really poisonous. The speed at which the birds disappeared was even slower than the Beast Tide.

Unfortunately, this was a Beast Tide. Although it was man-made, the number was not something that a single Plague Bird could stop.

In less than half a minute, the remaining Plague Birds fled in all directions. At this point, only the Overlord Python was left in Ye Chen’s tribe.

The end of the medicinal powder’s effect was also here but the excellent terrain here had become the key to its destruction.

Without the stimulation of the medicinal powder, the leading troops of the Beast Tide were only charging forward according to their inertia. There were mountains on three sides of this place and only the Overlord Python’s body was here.

This was its fortune and also misfortune. The irrational Beast Tide only cared about advancing. If the Overlord Python could withstand the first few charges, the Beast Tide would change direction.

In the Beast Tide, there were various levels of wild beasts. However, most of them were C-Rank or B-Rank and they were in their adult state.

Be it mutated beasts or wild beasts, the difference in strength between them when they evolved into adulthood was like the difference between Heaven and Earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless wild beasts collided with the Overlord Python’s body. The Overlord Python directly buried its head into the spiral body and silently endured it.

Soon, purple blood seeped out of the Overlord Python’s scales. Then, the scales broke, revealing the flesh inside.

During this period, Little Purple did not make a single sound. It knew that if it made a sound and rolled on its own, the tribes and people inside would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the Beast Tide.

Ye Chen, who was in the tribe, clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were red and his gaze was sharp.

At this moment, a minute passed for the Mutated Beast Egg…
