Chapter 973: Black Scaled Python

Ouyang Jian's roar startled the eight team members following closely behind him as they crossed the river, reflexively causing them to circulate their True Essence in frenzy. With a light tap of their toes on the floating wood beneath their feet, they propelled themselves into the air.

Fast as their reactions were, the dark shadow that burst from the depths of the river was much faster.

With a resounding "boom," the calm surface of the river was shattered by a forceful impact that surged from below.

A Giant Python covered in black scales burst forth from the water, creating waves several meters high.

Even just the upper half of the Python that emerged above the river's surface was already over ten meters long. Its scales, the size of a bowl, reflected a ghostly black glow in the sunlight, resembling miniature, solid shields.
