Volume One, Chapter Seventeen: The Terrifying Live Broadcast of the Giant Python – Part One
(Page 1 of 3)
“Damn it. I never expected this first-tier giant python to be so formidable. I must recover my strength and kill it as soon as possible, or it will certainly become a formidable enemy in the future.”
After reaching a safe distance, the White Tiger frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him and prepared to recuperate. It was during this process that he gradually became aware of the terrifying nature of Wang Long’s poison. Clearing the toxins delayed him for a full three months.
…
“Qiqi, a student from Tsingbei University recently returned to her hometown and started livestreaming.”
“I see. In that case, this may be a way to harvest the power of faith.” Wang Long studied the information provided on the system interface.
He then left Dragon Pool and headed toward Tian Village. After two and a half minutes, he arrived at the entrance to the village.
Once there, Wang Long relied on the villagers’ power of faith and quickly located Qiqi in a courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, Qiqi was staring gloomily at her only laptop.
“It’s far too dangerous in those mountains. I don’t think I’ll ever go up there again.”
“Ugh, I even lost my newly purchased Super God 100th-generation phone. That thing cost ten thousand Huaxia yuan!”
After lamenting for a while, she opened the Tsingbei University forum. Nearly every major event in Huaxia could be found there.
She opened the forum and logged into her account. The first post she saw read:
“Mysterious giant beast discovered in the Taihang Mountains of Huaxia.”
“One person dead and one injured. According to those who escaped, a terrifying giant bird has taken control of the entire mountain range. It resembles the legendary ancient roc.”
Looking at the post, Qiqi typed a comment on her laptop:
“What’s so interesting about a bird? I just encountered an entire army of ants!”
“Ants as large as roosters, densely covering the whole mountain forest. If you saw them, you’d be scared half to death.”
After posting her comment, Qiqi continued browsing the forum, only to discover numerous reports from other countries. Every one of them was shocking.
“It appears that an ancient giant serpent has emerged in Cherry Blossom Country. The Eight-Headed Serpent swallowed tens of thousands of people and several mountains in a single bite, causing irreparable casualties.”
“A colossal crocodile has appeared in Freedom Country’s Florida State. It bit off an entire floor of a building in one bite.”
“A hundred-meter-long giant python has appeared in Lighthouse Country and devoured everyone in an entire village.”
“A six-legged catfish monster has appeared in Goryeo Country. They are swarming in vast, black masses, with an estimated population of tens of thousands.”
“Bears have appeared in Bear Country. A massive brown-and-white bear has established dominion over an entire forest. Even a Barrett sniper rifle could not penetrate its thick fur.”
Every piece of news coursed through the internet, shaking the hearts of countless people. Each headline was followed by a flood of comments.

At that moment, a netizen named Big Brain boldly speculated:
“The world is undergoing a tremendous transformation. Spiritual energy is about to return. Terrifying mutated beasts, primordial monsters, and mysterious beings lurking in the depths of darkness are all emerging into the world…”
After browsing for a long while, Qiqi closed the forum and reopened her livestream.
“I haven’t streamed for several days.”
If she did not livestream again soon, she might start losing followers. As a small-time streamer who had finally gathered a hundred thousand fans, she knew that every follower had been hard-earned.
Even if some of them were haters, haters were still followers, weren’t they?
On Kuaishou, Qiqi opened her livestream as usual. After adjusting the resolution and camera, she pointed her tablet at herself.
This time, she chose to stream from outside the courtyard. The signal was better there, while the lighting inside the house was dim and the connection was poor, making it unsuitable.
The moment she opened the livestream, countless fans received the notification.
Invincible: “Damn, streamer, you’re still alive?”
Live comments: “Invincible sent ten Super Fireworks.”
Old Xie: “What the… You really sent them? That must have cost more than ten thousand Huaxia yuan, right?”
Invincible: “Of course I did. The streamer discovered a monster in the deep mountains—a gigantic army of ants!”
Live comment: “Streamer, tell us how you managed to escape!”
Live comment: “Could this be like in the novels, with spiritual energy returning and living creatures undergoing a great transformation? Ants can even grow this large, so it has to be something like that.”
Qiqi: “I don’t know either. Everything went black, and then I was back home.”
Netizen Bear Two has entered the livestream…
Bear Two: “Haven’t you seen the news? A giant serpent appeared in Cherry Blossom Country and swallowed tens of thousands of people in one breath. The authorities have already issued a warrant for its capture, but it escaped back into the sea.”
“Yes, yes, I heard about that too. It really happened,” replied a netizen named Sky.
“Everyone, I can’t livestream from the mountains anymore. If I go back there, this streamer’s miserable life will be over!”
Some of the haters, however, seemed unwilling to let her off so easily. They began aggressively tagging her on-screen and demanding that she livestream from the mountains again.
Cherry Blossom: “No way. A little difficulty like that is enough to scare you off? If you won’t go into the mountains, I’ll have no choice but to become a hater.”
“Exactly. If you won’t livestream from the mountains, I’m unfollowing you,” said the netizen Mei Hong, fanning the flames.
Peach, meanwhile, was more than happy to make matters worse.
“Tch, what a pathetic streamer. A few ants scared her senseless. She really is a stupid bitch.”

Bear Two: “Why are you insulting people? Besides, if you want to watch a mountain livestream so badly, why don’t you go yourself?”
Peach: “F*** off.”
The atmosphere in the livestream gradually shifted. Invincible, who had remained at the top of the rankings with more than ten thousand viewers watching, slowly sensed that something was wrong.
He suggested to Qiqi, “Streamer, permanently ban Peach. Anyone can tell she’s a paid agitator.”
Old Xie also spoke up at that moment.
“Exactly. I’ve seen plenty of paid agitators like this. They stir up trouble and then try to persuade people to unfollow.”
“Peach has been permanently banned.”
A banning notice appeared on the laptop screen. Far away, in an unknown part of Huaxia, a middle-aged woman roared inside a rented apartment.
“Damn it! She actually banned me!”
After Peach was kicked out of the livestream, Cherry Blossom and Mei Hong fell silent as well and stopped posting comments.
After all, Kuaishou in Huaxia did not merely ban accounts. It banned identity cards. Once someone was banned, they could not even create an alternate account and could only remain permanently unfollowed.
The livestream settled down again, while the number of viewers gradually climbed past twenty thousand.
“Old Xie sent one flame-red rally supercar.”
Qiqi could not help smiling when she saw the supercar displayed on the screen.
“Thank you, Old Xie. I have this month’s living expenses covered again.”
“Naive sent one popularity ticket.”
“Bear Two sent one popularity ticket.”
“Invincible sent ten popularity tickets.”
…
“Streamer, there seems to be something behind you.”
Sharp-eyed Invincible had spotted the enormous shadow of a serpent behind Qiqi through the screen.
Qiqi glanced at the comments, somewhat at a loss, but still typed a line:
“This is my hometown. It’s perfectly safe here. No monster is going to appear.”
