Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 142 Do you think this is a zoo?

"There's another one?"

Tang Chen rubbed his hands together, this was great! He was just feeling that he hadn't had enough fun beating that dark gold three-headed bat!

"Uh, I have to remind you, that one in front isn't a bat."

"Not a bat?"

Tang Chen's interest waned considerably; if it weren't for the bats, the fight wouldn't be fun at all.

"Yes, its body was coiled around a pillar. Bats don't have that ability; it must be a snake."

Dan Heng nodded slightly and flew forward with Tang Chen.

Throughout the journey, Tang Chen remained silent, following behind Dan Heng with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

Only Tang Chen himself knows what changes have taken place in him.

When the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was separated from his body, he was able to repel Ghost Prison Douluo by relying on the little power he had left.

After this period of recuperation, his health did recover somewhat, but that only gave him a false sense of hope.

Just now, after killing the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, the weakness he felt almost made him unable to continue flying.

His body is now in a very bad state, so bad that it could be said to break at the slightest touch.

Perhaps because of his previous role as the King of Slaughter, there was at least one force protecting his body in the City of Slaughter.

It was precisely because of that power that Tang Chen was able to recover to his current state in such a short time.

Tang Chen is now worried about how long his body can hold up once he leaves the Killing City and goes to the outside world, given his current condition.
The fact that the Clear Sky Sect was forced into seclusion by the Spirit Hall was a great insult to Tang Chen. If he could swallow this insult, he wouldn't be Tang Chen!

However, after being parasitized for so many years, his body no longer supports him to take any major actions.

"If that snake comes looking for trouble, my body will probably burn to ashes."

Tang Chen watched Dan Heng's retreating figure and sighed softly.

Even though his body was in such a sorry state, Tang Chen, as one of the world's top experts, naturally had his own pride. He would never show his vulnerable and powerless side in front of outsiders.

If things really come to that point, even if he pushes himself too hard and bursts, he will never be a coward who hides behind others to survive!
"Are you worried about that snake? Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Suddenly, as if sensing Tang Chen's emotions, Dan Heng turned around and met Tang Chen's somewhat dim gaze.

"Uh, it's okay, I can still manage."

Tang Chen feigned nonchalance, subtly avoiding Dan Heng's gaze. For some reason, he felt as if he had no secrets from this man named Dan Heng.

All of my secrets seemed to be laid bare under the other person's clear gaze.

Tang Chen didn't like this feeling, but the other person had saved his life, so he shouldn't show that kind of expression no matter what.

"What a stubborn guy."

Dan Heng turned around and thought to himself.

How could he not be able to tell what Tang Chen's physical condition is like?

He's quite the character, managing to unleash a powerful attack despite his broken body.

Well, let's just consider it their code of conduct and not comment further.

"Wait a minute, why isn't that snake moving?"

While flying, Dan Heng suddenly slowed down. He was almost directly above the snake, but the snake still hadn't made a move.
I could see it with my naked eye!
However, facing Dan Heng's gaze, the snake remained coiled motionless on the narrow path, its two eyes tightly closed, emitting an unusually even breathing sound.

The nine fleshy bumps on its back were also very well-behaved, with red light flowing within them, as if blood was flowing through them.

Everything was harmonious, as if it were a sleeping giant snake, and as long as Dan Heng and Tang Chen didn't disturb it, they could leave directly from here.

"It seems to be pretending to be asleep."

Dan Heng succinctly revealed the current state of the giant snake.

As a strange creature on the Hell Road, Dan Heng did not believe that the other party would be so lax, not even reacting when someone was on his head.

Therefore, the only explanation is that the snake is pretending to be asleep.

Upon noticing that Dan Heng had stopped and was talking to someone nearby, the giant snake's body twitched almost imperceptibly before returning to calm.

"It is indeed pretending to be asleep."

"Uh, should we fight it?"

Tang Chen glanced at the giant snake coiled motionless on the narrow path, took a deep breath, and his Haotian Hammer materialized in his hand, ready for battle.

"Let's see if we can get out. If we can, then we won't fight."

Tang Chen still had unfinished business on his mind: to see the current state of the Haotian Sect and the woman who haunted his dreams. Therefore, unless things really came to that, Tang Chen felt it was better for him to stay alive.

But if it really came down to it, he would never back down! Unlike those guys, who actually abandoned their own people because of the threat from the Spirit Hall!
If Qian Daoliu had come in person and stated that he would destroy the Haotian Sect if they did not hand over the people, Tang Chen could understand them from the perspective of preserving the sect.

After all, they had been trapped in the Killing City for decades without any news. With the Haotian Sect losing its backbone, it was normal for some spineless individuals to emerge.

"Hopefully this body can hold on for a while longer."

Danheng's attitude towards the snake was that it didn't matter whether he killed it or not, since it was useless to him anyway; it was just something to learn.

So Danheng tentatively descended a little, wanting to observe the giant snake up close.

However, the snake remained as if it were fast asleep, only its body began to tremble slightly.

Although the movement was small, Danheng could roughly deduce from this scene that the giant snake was probably pretending to be asleep because it was afraid of him.

"This appearance somewhat resembles the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent described in the book, doesn't it?"

After confirming the snake's many characteristics, Dan Heng frantically searched his mind and finally determined that it might be the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, an ancient mythical beast that had long disappeared from the Douluo Continent.

However, in order to get a closer look, Dan Heng landed directly in front of the giant snake and walked back and forth in front of its head.

Every now and then, it would reach out and touch the snake's head.

This action stunned Tang Chen, who was standing above. "Do you think this is a zoo? You actually touched it?!"
When Dan Heng touched the giant snake, its entire body tensed up, but its eyes refused to open.

"That should be it, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent."

Seeing that the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent showed no sign of opening its eyes, Dan Heng didn't linger any longer, since it didn't matter whether he killed the serpent or not.

Before leaving, Danheng patted the snake's head twice.

The texture isn't great, but for some reason, I just wanted to pat it.

After Dan Heng left, an unknown amount of time passed before the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent tentatively opened one of its eyes.

After confirming that Dan Heng had left, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's entire body went limp.

God knows what it went through!
