Chapter 204: Chapter 197: Why Am I Always the One Who Gets Hurt

Mengde had no doubt that if he were to actually stir the center of this body of water with a long pole,

he would find this black water exceptionally heavy, like pulling a Nether River up from the Underworld.

To his surprise, Mengde discovered that even his Telekinesis Perception was somewhat affected here.

His normally infallible Telekinesis Perception felt fuzzy when he tried to observe this place.

Only after Mengde blanketed the area with the full force of his Telekinesis did he see a giant beast swimming back and forth beneath the ink-black surface.

To be precise, it had already rushed underneath the giant turtle.

"Dabao, move!!!"

Dabao was the nickname Xiaoyao and the others had given the giant turtle.

’Sigh. How could I refuse a request from two pure, innocent campus beauties like Xiaoyao and Yuyan?’

’Well... it’s not like they were calling me that, so I don’t really care.’

It all happened in a flash. Although Mengde had spotted it quickly,

the Dabao beneath him was simply too massive and was still sent flying by the attack.

With a sound like a cannonball, the water’s surface caved in, forming a massive, bowl-shaped crater two kilometers in diameter.

A circular wall of water, a tsunami dozens of meters high, rose up at the edges.

Before Dabao could even react, it was slammed viciously onto the water’s surface on the other side.

"WHIIIINE~"

’Why am I always the one who gets hurt?!’

Mengde swept his Telekinesis over it. The big guy looked pretty pathetic,

but thanks to its natural physical defenses, it hadn’t actually been seriously injured.

Still, that hit must have hurt.

It was still tumbling about over there!

Fortunately, Mengde hadn’t been counting on that thing to be of any use anyway.

Although he no longer had Dabao to stand on, he was fortunate enough to have his newly Awakened Water Superpower from last night—Water Dominator.

It allowed him to be completely unaffected by the water.

An invisible barrier automatically formed around his body.

The moment the tips of his shoes touched the water, barely grazing the surface, spiderweb-like ripples spread out.

An invisible force field emanated from him, pressing the water within a three-meter radius into a perfectly smooth, mirror-like surface.

It completely isolated him from the surrounding water.

’The Water Dominator Superpower really is impressive,’ he had to admit.

Just then, the giant beast swimming below revealed its true form.

It was a gigantic python!

Its entire body was pitch-black, a blackness that was unsettling to the core.

It was over five meters long, its body as thick as an adult man’s arm, its cylindrical form exuding a sense of primal power.

Its jet-black scales were tightly arranged, with a metallic sheen like cold iron.

Blood-red veins ran between the scales, glowing faintly in the dark to form what looked like ancient shamanistic totems, hinting at an atavistic throwback to the mythical Ba She bloodline.

In the sunlight, the scales refracted a deep blue pattern, as if the starry night sky had been embedded between them.

Keratinous spines protruded from each vertebra along its back, their tips secreting a viscous black fluid that solidified into deadly poisonous crystals upon contact with the air.

Its triangular head was especially out of proportion, with gnarled, powerful jaw muscles.

It looked like it had an astonishing bite force, capable of easily crushing the leg bones of a wild boar.

The reason he could see it so clearly was because the giant python was already lunging at him, mouth wide open!

Its nauseating breath was about to hit him in the face.

"Holy shit!"

"Is this any way to greet someone you’ve just met?!"

Mengde grumbled to himself.

But his feet moved without the slightest hesitation.

He dodged instantly with a Spatial Instant Teleportation.

Even though he was on the water’s surface, it didn’t affect him at all.

"You are seriously disgusting!"

No sooner had Mengde dodged than the giant python lunged at him again.

It forced him to keep dodging.

Compared to the giant turtle, Dabao, this python was clearly much faster.

If Mengde didn’t have Spatial Instant Teleportation, he probably wouldn’t have been able to dodge at all.

Meanwhile, the scene was playing out for everyone to see on the beach.

The women’s eyes were filled with worry.

"Sister, why is that snake so big?!"

"It looks so scary!"

"Brother-in-law will be okay, right?"

Xiaoyao asked her sister innocently.

"Mhm, don’t worry. You know how powerful your brother-in-law is."

Although she was worried herself, Jiayi still comforted her younger sister.

Nearby, Wang Yuyan, who had just confirmed her relationship with him that morning, was asking her mother.

"Mommy, shouldn’t we go help Brother Mengde?"

"That big snake is terrifying!"

Xu Junru also comforted her daughter.

A wry smile touched the corners of her lips.

’Help?’

’With our strength, we’d be lucky not to drag him down!’

She hadn’t forgotten the scene of herself being ravaged in bed last night.

Thinking about it again, Xu Junru realized that wasn’t quite right.

’Wait, wasn’t I the one on top last night...?’

"It’s okay. Your Brother Mengde is very powerful."

’Mhm, so powerful he completely tilled the fields that had lain fallow for so many years!’

Although Wang Yuyan didn’t know what her mother was thinking, she nodded obediently.

’Whatever Mommy says is always right.’

Unlike them, Leng Feng and the others, who had developed an unprecedented level of confidence in Mengde’s strength, were much more relaxed.

"Boss, be careful!"

"Holy crap, that python is huge! If it were me, I probably wouldn’t even dare to face it. I’d be gone in a second!"

"A second? Your scrawny frame probably isn’t even enough for one bite!"

"Can you stop bullshitting already!"

"..."

Leng Feng and his group got along very well and were close.

Right now, they were in full-on roast mode while watching the battle in the middle of the water.

"That’s our boss for you!"

"He’s the only one who can go toe-to-toe with that python."

"The boss is awesome! The boss is mighty!"

"Boss, fuck that giant python up!"

"..."

Mengde’s hearing was incredibly sharp, so he naturally heard the shouts from Leng Feng and the others with perfect clarity.

His face darkened.

’Fuck the giant python up?’

’Are you guys sure?’

’I don’t have *that* kind of special fetish!’

But back on the battlefield, after dodging several rounds of the python’s attacks, Mengde had adapted to its assault.

He took the opportunity to check the system’s notification message.

It had popped up a moment ago.

[Mutant Creature: Dark Ming Snake]

[Awakened Superpower: Ming Snake Power (S-Class Dark Superpower)]

[Superpower Level: Tier Six Middle Stage]

[Affinity: -100]

[System Introduction: Due to its living environment, the Dark Ming Snake also possesses a natural Water Ability. Host, please be advised!]

’Oh, so it’s an S-Class Dark Superpower!’

’And it’s Tier Six!’

’No wonder it’s so fast!’

This was the first Mutant Creature he had encountered that had an Awakened Superpower of the Dark Element.

And one that also had Water Abilities!

That was why Mengde had been so on the defensive at first.

Just as he was looking, the Dark Ming Snake activated its Superpower.

The giant python opened its massive, abyss-like maw.

The next second, it spat out an attack resembling a bolt of dark lightning.

And its target was him!!!
