Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 52: Mutant Little Python

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Mutant Little Python

The night was deep, the room bright with lamplight.

A young boy sat cross-legged in a bathtub full of medicinal fluid, cultivating diligently, almost reaching a state of self-forgetfulness.

The Nine Dragons War Sovereign, Spirit Snake Transformation!

The seven-treasure body tempering fluid incessantly surged into his body.

The medicinal strength of Black Spirit Fruit was also being absorbed at an extremely fast speed, merging into the boy’s flesh, blood, and bones.

If he wished to claim first place in the family’s Martial Meeting in three days, and acquire three hundred and fifty years’ worth of Blood Spirit Mushroom...

He must break through to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm!

"Still a bit short."

Perceiving that the transformation rate of his flesh and the increase of his vitality were gradually slowing down, the boy opened his eyes and sighed.

Yawning, the profoundly weary boy fell asleep.

He slept all the way till the early morning of the next day.

"Young Master, Young Master!"

Slightly urgent sounds coming from outside startled the boy from his dream.

"Keer, what happened?"

Without even having time to put on his coat, the boy, clad in his nightgown, opened the door and looked at the girl standing outside.

"Young Master, look at this."

In the girl’s hands were two fist-sized serpent eggs, trembling violently.

Crack! Creak!

In no time, the two serpent eggs cracked open one after the other, and two delicate small serpents showed their heads, flicking their tongues, and swallowing the fragments of the eggshells.

Then, they glanced at each other and looked at Wyatt Barnes and then at Keer.

Those tiny eyes were filled with deep affection...

It was as if they were gazing at their parents.

"Young Master, they don’t look anything like Black Pythons."

After scrutinizing the little serpents for a while, Keer furrowed her brows.

"That’s true..."

Wyatt Barnes also observed the little serpents.

They were a pair of little serpents, one black and one white.

The white serpent had silver patterns all over its body, intricate and elusive.

The black serpent had golden patterns that resembled those of the white serpent.

They had one more thing in common.

There was a small bump on each of their heads.

Wyatt Barnes searched through all his memories of his past life as the Martial Emperor, and found no recollection related to these two little serpents.

That’s to say, even if the Martial Emperor was present, he wouldn’t recognize these two little serpents.

However, in the memories of the Martial Emperor, there was a type of python that shared some similarities with the overall features of these two little serpents.

That python was not the Black Python.

It was the Fierce Beast, ’Snow Serpent’.

According to the memory of the Martial Emperor, when the Snow Serpent reaches adulthood, it harbors power comparable to the beings of the Original Infant Realm...

Martial artist cultivation.

Following the Body Tempering Realm, was the Condensed Pill Realm;

After the Condensed Pill Realm, was the Original Pill Realm;

After the Original Pill Realm, was the Original Infant Realm.

Even for big clans like the Lee Family of Aurora City, there were quite a few warriors in the Original Pill Realm.

However, the existence of those in the Original Infant Realm was much scarcer.

"Offsprings of the Black Python, should not possibly have been sired with the Snow Python."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, discarding this absurd thought.

Leaving the difference between the Black Python and the Snow Python aside, the patterns on these two little serpents were nonexistent in both the Black and Snow Pythons.

Based on this, it could be concluded.

The two little serpents were neither Snow Serpents nor Black Pythons.

"Perhaps, they took after their father. Wonder what kind of python their father was. Despite the Martial Emperor, who has seen the drifting sands of time for two lifetimes, being broad-minded and knowledgeable, even he can’t identify this type of python."

Wyatt Barnes silently speculated in his heart.

"Young Master, they seem to be hungry."

The girl’s voice brought Wyatt Barnes back to reality.

The two little serpents, with their tiny eyes, were glowing pitifully, as if begging for something.

Moved by this, Wyatt Barnes took two ’Purple Thorn Fruits’ that he had brought back earlier from a corner of the room.

The two Purple Thorn Fruits were left for these two little serpents by their mother, the Black Python.

The moment Wyatt Barnes brought the Purple Thorn Fruits close to Keer, the two little serpents trembled and instantly sprang into action.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As if transformed into white and black streaks of lightning, they lunged directly toward the Purple Thorn Fruits in Wyatt Barnes’s hand...

In an instant, they finished devouring the Purple Thorn Fruits.

After filling their bellies, the two little serpents fell into a deep sleep.

"What species of serpent are they?"

Wyatt Barnes and Keer exchanged glances and both saw astonishment in each other’s eyes.

The speed of the two little serpents, even when compared with their mother, the Black Python, was not much slower.

It’s not surprising for a mature Black Python to be that fast.

However, these two little serpents, they’ve only just hatched...

Somewhere in Wyatt Barnes’s subconscious, he felt that these two little serpents were no ordinary beings.

He found a small box with some holes, placed the two sleeping little serpents inside, then put on his coat, held Keer’s hand, and walked out of the room.

"Keer, let us go for a walk."

Wyatt Barnes and Keer left their home and quickly arrived at the Martial Arts Performance field in the outer court.

A crowd had gathered in one corner of the performance field.

"Let us go and see."

Wyatt Barnes and Keer walked over.

Initially thinking that people were having a sparring session, after approaching, they realized it was not the case.

A youth clad in blue stood in the center of the crowd, vehemently narrating.

Given his demeanor, he looked like a storyteller.

"Rumor has it that an adult Snow Serpent in the Mystical Fog Forest was formidable as a thunderbolt, wiping out a few of the Original Pill Realm warriors from Ho Family of Foggy Water City in just a few strikes...They were considered elites among human warriors, but in front of the mature Snow Serpent, they didn’t stand a chance!"

The boy in blue continued narrating, as if he had witnessed it all himself.

"Emory Lee, are there really adult Snow Serpents in the Mystical Fog Forest?"

Someone from the crowd asked.

"I, Emory Lee, am known as a versatile knowledgeable person in Aurora City, my reputation speaks for itself. The news I gave will soon spread throughout the whole of Aurora City, then, you will naturally know that what I said isn’t false."

Emory Lee raised his head, his face full of confidence.

"Emory Lee, we do not doubt your ability to receive news before anyone else. However, this situation is truly inexplicable."

"Indeed, normally at this time of season, beasts and fierce beasts like pythons should be in hibernation. Especially the Snow Serpent which is a top-notch fierce beast, according to the records, among all the fierce beasts, it is the most lethargic."

Someone else expressed their doubts.

"You are correct, but according to the message brought back by the only Original Pill Realm Warrior from the Ho Family who survived in Foggy Water City, that Snow Serpent seemed completely mad, killing anyone it sees, appearing to take out its fury..."

Emory Lee nodded slightly, and continued.

"Why do you think the Snow Serpent would turn out like this?"

The onlooking crowd was lively, and some even asked curiously.

"It’s just a guess, but it could either be because humans killed its partner, or its offspring is dead."

Emory Lee spoke again.

Those who speak don’t mean it, but those who listen care a lot.

Wyatt Barnes and Keer exchanged glances and left the crowd.

"Young Master, do you think that Snow Serpent could be the father of those two little pythons?"

Keer’s eyes showed a hint of sympathy.

"It’s possible."

A gleam sparkled in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes.

The two little pythons could indeed be the offspring of the Snow Serpent and the Black Serpent, and for some reasons, they mutated.

Through the memories of the Martial Emperor, Wyatt Barnes knew, mutant fierce beasts existed.

"Young Master, perhaps we should send them back..."

As Keer spoke, her eyes were a bit moist.

It was as if she was reminded of something.

"Keer, what’s the matter?"

Wyatt Barnes looked worried.

"I just thought of my mother. When she just left, I felt as if the sky were falling... That Snow Serpent’s current mood might be the same as mine at that time."

Keer spoke, her voice trembling.

"Silly girl, don’t you still have me?"

Wyatt Barnes held the girl in his arms and gently patted her back, speaking softly.

"It’s my luck to meet you, Young Master. But that Snow Serpent..."

Keer’s voice was tinged with a sob.

"Alright, I promise you. After the family martial arts competition is over, I will send them back."

Wyatt Barnes gently stroked Keer’s hair, inhaling the fresh scent of her hair, and slowly said.

When they got home, Wyatt Barnes found that the box was empty.

The two little pythons were nowhere to be seen.

Just as he and Keer were preparing to search for them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

One black and one white light flashed past!

The little black python entwined itself around Wyatt Barnes’ wrist, while the little white python coiled itself around Keer’s wrist, playfully sticking out their tongues at them.

"These two really are little troublemakers."

Wyatt Barnes chuckled and shook his head.

"Keer, why don’t you give them names?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Keer.

"Let’s call them Little White and Little Black."

Keer smiled and said.

"From now on, you’ll be called Little Black."

Wyatt Barnes lifted his arm, looking at the little black snake coiled around his wrist.

Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded.

Wyatt Barnes saw it.

The little black snake seemed to nod at him, giving Wyatt Barnes a start.

Could the little black snake understand human speech?

After noticing the little black snake kept nodding, Wyatt Barnes realized he was overthinking.

It seemed that Little Black was attached to Wyatt Barnes and didn’t want to leave him.

Little White had also entwined itself around Keer.

Helplessly, both of them had to keep the snakes with them.

After some identification, Wyatt Barnes discovered that Little Black was a male snake and Little White was a female.

That night, when Wyatt Barnes was practicing in the bath.

He noticed.

Little Black swam into the bath, moving around on the surface of the water, gobbling up the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid.

At the same time.

The golden patterns on Little Black’s body began to shimmer with a dark gold glow. It was not until he had consumed all the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid that he satisfiedly slithered out, and laid down to sleep at the edge of the bath.

At this moment, the dark gold glow on his body slowly dimmed.

"I wonder how this little python has mutated."

A thought ran through Wyatt Barnes’ mind.

Two days passed.

The second round of the family martial arts competition, the real competition, would start the next day.

Wyatt Barnes’ cultivation remained the same and hadn’t broken through yet.

Although he felt he was on the verge, he had been having trouble pushing through.

He had already absorbed eighty percent of the medicinal efficacy of the Black Spirit Fruit.

"Could I really be fated to miss out on that 350-year-old Blood Spirit Ganoderma?"

Wyatt Barnes gave a bitter smile.

"Hiss~~"

A slight noise reached his ears, and Wyatt Barnes realized that Little Black was coiled up at the edge of the bed, flicking his tongue as if saying hello to him.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, the form of Little Black shook, and it began to wriggle.

Sometimes it moved slowly, other times it transformed into a black lightning bolt.

As still as a maiden when still, but as wild as a rabbit when moving!

In the beginning, Wyatt Barnes simply watched Little Black with curiosity.

Gradually, Little Black’s movements seemed to give him some kind of revelation...

His eyes became entranced and dazed.

At this moment, all he could see in his world were the constant movements of Little Black.
