Austin's spiritual sense detected a great waterfall by the mountainside.
The waterfall seemed like a huge milky piece hanging freely from the mountain. The peaceful sound of running water could be
heard from thousands of meters away.
Directly below the waterfall was a pool of freezing water, and as the waterfall hit the pool, the splashing water permeated the
whole mountainside.
However, what caught Austin's attention the most was the palisades behind the majestic waterfall. It was enormous, and seemed
to be as smooth as a mirror.
Even the enthralling waterfall could not shield its extraordinary mysterious aura.
On a side note, it was the air of mystery around it that immediately caught the attention of Austin's spiritual sense.
From experience, Austin knew that areas with such an air of mystery were likely to have streasures hidden within it.
Not wanting to waste any time, Austin immediately applied his bodily movement skill and reached the mountaintop in no time.
Then, he chose to land at the opening right before the pool.
Enormous amounts of water fell from the top and landed on the little pool of freezing-cold water, producing a sound so loud it
made Austin's ears ring.
More than that, the pool's temperature was so low that even everything around the pool was freezing.
After checking out the rest of the pool, Austin launched himself towards the waterfall at once in an attempt to go right through the
waterfall and check what was hidden in the palisades for himself.
But before he even got close to the waterfall, all of a sudden, he heard a deafening sound.
Then, a gigantic figure broke out from behind the waterfall and headed straight for Austin.
It was a black python!
The python was enormous in size. But the creepiest thing about it was that it had three heads -- each had a demonic and ugly face
with a big bloody mouth that made it look immensely ferocious.
The moment he took the image of the python in, Austin realized that it was actually a three-headed ghostly python!
When Austin recognized the serpent, he nearly shouted out of fear.
The three-headed ghostly python was a very rare demonic beast. According to old sayings, its bloodline was actually very special,
and its power was unparalleled by anything.

Whooo!
One of the three heads suddenly opened its giant mouth and went straight for Austin at a frightening speed.
"Son of a bitch!"
Austin summoned all of his power and punched it right in the head.
Boom!
The moment Austin's fist hit the python's head, he was thrown aback by an immense, tsunami-like force by thousands of meters
before he finally managed to regain his balance.
Austin was extremely stunned. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the power of the three-headed ghostly python would
be that intense.
Four million pounds of power, and instead of the python suffering from the hit, Austin was the one who was thrown back by it.
If it hadn't been for his strong physical body, Austin knew that he would have been severely wounded from that impact.
Rustle!
Now that he knew that he was not at an advantage physically, he drew his Slaughtering Sword and launched multiple attacks
towards the three-headed ghostly python with his sword aura.
Clang!
The sound from the impact sounded as if two metals collided when the sword aura struck the python.
Austin took a closer look at the python and saw that it was completely covered with black scales, each the size of a palm. Once
again, its toughness shocked Austin completely.
Austin's sword aura from the Slaughtering Sword, which could instantly kill cultivators of the Tribulation Realm, was only able to
leave a shallow mark on those scales.
Given this, one could only imagine how tremendously powerful its defensive scales actually were.
Boom!
While Austin was still trying to get over his shock, a giant shadow suddenly csweeping in. It was so powerful that, upon its
arrival, the entire space seemed to freeze over, and Austin felt like he had nowhere to go.
Austin recognized the shadow as the tail of the three-headed ghostly python.
What a tremendously powerful beast, indeed!
At once, a mixture of shock and fear filled up Austin's eyes.
Austin's strongest asset was his physical strength, and up to that point, it had always served him well.
However, it was absolutely nothing compared to the power of the three-headed ghostly python.
With his current condition, Austin could handle a demonic beast in the Transformation Realm without even breaking a sweat.
But the three-headed ghostly python was far superior to what he was capable of fighting.
Austin immediately realized that it was now a life and death situation for him. Without wasting a minute more, Austin immediately
used demonic energy with his mind.
Then, ten Austins appeared.
Boom!
Without missing a beat, the tail of the three-headed python immediately smashed nine of them to pieces.
Bang!
Meanwhile, the last one was sent flying over five thousand meters away the moment it was hit by the tail.
After a while, Austin managed to balance himself again as he felt blood rushing through his chest and out of his mouth.
The three-headed ghostly python truly was a powerful demonic beast.
It was much stronger than the diabolic beasts of the Transformation Realm.
Whoooo!
All of a sudden, the three-headed ghostly python stopped pursuing Austin. Then, one of its heads opened its mouth and spitted out
a huge amount of red fog with an extremely foul odor.
It was immediately apparent that the red fog was poisonous.
In no more than a blink of an eye, the red fog was able to cover hundreds of square meters.
Then, to Austin's surprise, the three-headed ghostly python merely returned to the den behind the waterfall as if nothing had
happened. It was as if he did not care for Austin at all.
Due to the strange behavior of the three-headed ghostly python, Austin was now a hundred percent certain that there was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomething special behind the waterfall.
However, Austin was well aware that he did not stand a chance against the python.
Back when Austin was fighting with the three-headed ghostly python, meanwhile, from another mountain, a dozen gray figures
watched.
"I can't believe two humans would dare to challenge the three-headed ghostly python. Do they have a death wish?"
"Indeed, even our queen wouldn't dare to go against it.
Those two humans have no idea what they are up against."
Apparently, the gray figures were the queen's men who were tracking the whereabouts of Austin and the sect leader.
They traced them all the way there and found that Austin was fighting with the three-headed ghostly python at the mountain
where it resided.
Austin retreated to a slope that was about six thousand meters from the waterfall. He then fetched a healing pill and ate it before
he started to adjust his breath.
Austin had sustained sflesh wounds, and the healing pill helped heal those in a short span of time.
After catching his breath for a moment, Austin then teleported both the gnand the sect leader out of the City model.
Given the power of the three-headed ghostly python, Austin immediately assumed that what it was guarding must have been of
great value.
Austin was stubborn -- there was no way he was going to give up easily.
"Yes, you're right about it. There is something precious behind that waterfall.
| can feel the aura of a treasure."
The gnlooked at the direction of the waterfall to feel it out and agreed with Austin.
"Our only problem is that even with the three of us together, there is still no way we can defeat the three-headed ghostly python,"
said the gnin a concerned voice.
"If we can't beat it, then we should try to outsmart it by drawing it away from the waterfall!"
Austin said upon thinking of a new idea.
"Draw it out?"
Both the gnand the sect leader were a bit stunned at Austin's suggestion.
