I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 432 Giant Tortoise VS Giant Python!

[What the f*ck! Is this a special effect?!]

[Mother of God, did God Ye traverse to another dimension? Monster!]

[I thought demonizing animals wasn’t allowed after the People’s Republic of China was founded? Can someone explain these two monsters to me?]

[My mom asked me why I was kneeling. I told her I was looking at monsters.]

[Where is Ultraman? I know you’re there. The time we need you has come! Transform!]

...

The general public would have never seen that kind of scene before, so they were stunned. The resulting eye-opener was practically defying the laws of heaven. The only thing that they felt was their worldview being completely upended!

The giant tortoise and the giant python were clearly tussling with each other. That shadow appearing in the water earlier was actually the giant python’s tail falling into the water!

Ye Lingchen saw everything all too clearly. The giant tortoise was humongous, and for some reason, it got stuck in the cave and could neither move forward nor retreat.

On the other hand, the giant python was on the edge of the subterranean lake. Its huge body was swimming and its head was upright. With its huge tongue poking out of its scarlet-red mouth, it roared at the giant tortoise.

The two behemoths fought against each other and their heads were about the size of an adult. It was enough to make anyone flinch.

Roar!

The giant tortoise opened its mouth and bellowed deeply, but its fatigue was clearly heard. Traces of dread were present in its eyes as it looked at the giant python.

On the other hand, the giant python—with its huge swinging body and sinister gazes—constantly made cautious attacks, as if looking for a chance to give the giant tortoise a fatal blow at any time!

The giant tortoise’s body had been stuck there for God knows how long. Its strength had obviously reached its limit, and despite its outward determination, was already low on morale. Meanwhile, the giant python was full of energy, as well as cunning and insidious. It was ready to take that giant tortoise’s life.

Ye Lingchen did not make a sound as he swam up slowly to the shore. Then, he climbed up carefully and hid behind a rock wall to watch.

Upon closer inspection, he found that the two behemoths had some wounds on their bodies. The vitality of the giant tortoises was very strong, and since most of their body was covered by shell, they were not easily defeated even if they were stuck. Although the giant python had bite marks on its body, it was of no great harm.

The next moment, the giant python seemed to have lost all patience. The snake struck as fast as lightning and bit on the giant tortoise’s leg in an instant!

The angle chosen by the giant python was extremely tricky—it was evidently a route that was chosen after summarizing several earlier attacks. Its body was tilted slightly, making it able to bite the giant tortoise’s leg but preventing the tortoise from biting it.

As a result of being stuck, the giant tortoise could only stretch its neck out and roar. It was unable to touch the giant python at all. Blood began to flow from the area where the giant tortoise was bitten.

Excitement appeared in the giant python’s eyes, and the giant snake then lifted its tail to sweep right at the giant tortoise’s head!

Boom!

The giant python had tremendous force. It slapped fiercely and left a bloody mark on the giant tortoise’s face!

Roar!

The intense pain made the giant tortoise roar. Its body trembled, and the cave trembled as a result too.

The giant python had evidently found a way to deal with the giant tortoise after going through a sequence of events. It twisted its long body excitedly and stopped the giant tortoise from getting an opportunity to bite back.

Within the cave came roars of a tortoise and a python, as well as the sound of their bodies hitting against rock. The python flicked its tongue constantly and held its head high, sending chills down a person’s spine. It would open its mouth from time to time and bite the giant tortoise. The sight was gruesome enough even through a screen.

[Oh my God! Kill this monster quickly! It’s so horrifying!]

[I’ll definitely have a nightmare tonight. Don’t these kinds of pythons only exist in movies? Does it exist in real life?!]

[Damn. Two monsters in a small lake. My worldview has been utterly destroyed!]

[God Ye didn’t even run. He’s a real man! I’ll say nothing else except this: I’ll be your diehard fan in the future!]

[The giant tortoise is so miserable. The giant python is going to kill it soon!]

[This isn’t a giant tortoise, it’s the Black Warrior![1] The Four Mythological Beasts of China must never die!]

[God Ye, you run quickly! When the giant python kills the giant tortoise, it might start a killing spree in the lake!]

[F*ck, the previous poster does have a point. RUN, GOD YE!]

...

Back as Y Cosmetics, Zhang Yunxi was scared out of her wits. She watched the scene on the television with moist eyes and a pale pretty face. She whispered continuously, “Lingchen, run away, please!”

None of the employees were doing their job in the entire shop, but none of the customers objected to it because they looked at the television screen blankly and were completely shocked.

Over at Wanrong Technology, Ouyang Qing’s face was already gloomy and her entire body was shaking.

“*SSHOLE! IDIOT!” she watched the video and cursed, though there was much worry in her eyes. “Is there something wrong with this guy’s brain? Why must he go to that kind of place? What will Wanrong Technology do if he dies?!”

The daily laughter and chatter of the iPartment’s crew had all but disappeared. None of the scenes were filmed and everyone gathered in front of the computer with a worried expression on their faces. Hu Yifei and other girls had reddened and teary eyes.

“What’s wrong with Baby Ying? Why did she let Lingchen into the water?! She’s too unreliable!” Xiao Feifei could not help but complain. She made fists with both hands and pierced her nails into the flesh.

Outside the lake, Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying had already burst into tears. They supported each other so as not to collapse to the ground and regretted everything deep down. They should not have allowed Ye Lingchen to go down because humans were as puny as ants in comparison to such monsters.

Many people in the program group were in a state of utter stupefaction and panic.

“Director, I can’t stay here anymore. How about we leave first...” someone suggested.

“This...” The director frowned slightly.“I’m not leaving! I won’t follow if you want to leave!” Zhao Liangying was scared to death, but she still bit her lip and said firmly.

“I’m not leaving either!” Hu Yue’er shook her head.

He Jia and Huang Lei also stood up right then. “Director, one of your reasons for letting God Ye dive into the lake was because of the live broadcast’s popularity. The number of people currently online in the live broadcast room has exceeded forty million. If you really just want to pat your bums and leave, we will reject all future shows!”

“Me too!” Wei Daxun cowered. “Although I’m not popular or courageous, God Ye is really my idol. I’ll forever have no peace of mind if I just leave right now!”

“Who told you I’m leaving?” The director smiled bitterly and shook his head. “As a director, would it be humane if I leave right now? If anyone else in the program crew is scared and wants to leave, I won’t stop them.”

“That’s more like it. Even though we don’t have the ability to save God Ye, the one thing we absolutely can’t do is abandon our companions!” He Jia smiled, took a deep breath, and looked worriedly at the seemingly calm waterfall lake...

[1] 玄武 is translated to Black Warrior, or may also be termed as Black Tortoise, although it is usually depicted as a tortoise entwined by a snake, as seen here in our story. It is one of four mythological creatures appearing in Chinese constellations (as mentioned by the same commenter), namely: the Azure Dragon of the East (青龙), the Vermilion Bird of the South (朱雀), the White Tiger of the West (白虎), and the Black Warrior of the North. The pinyin of the Black Warrior’s name (玄武= Xuánwǔ) is identical to the Daoist God Xuanwu who may sometimes be portrayed in the company of a tortoise and snake, as seen in Journey to the West.
