The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 2191

Heath kept staring at the huge monster beast. “Yes, we should, but looking at the size of it, it's definitely not an ordinary monster. It may be dangerous if we approach it rashly so let’s all be extra careful.”

Everyone nodded. In order to ensure their own safety, they came up with a plan. Well, not really a plan but simply an agreement for those with the strongest cultivation to take the lead, and for the weakest to follow behind. They would slowly approach the monster beast so that they could make their escape at the first sign of danger. They would run as far as possible while making sure they stuck together in a group.

Out of the five people, four of them were in the final stage of innate level. Heath was the strongest, and not to mention he was from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, so he would take the lead. Then, it would be Byron and Edric in the second row, and then Frank and Fane in the third row. Actually, with this formation, it did not matter who was in the front, as long as they were stuck close to each other if anything should happen, they would all suffer the same fate.

Furrowing his brow and the two swords in his hands, Heath gradually moved closer to the giant monster beast in a stance that would allow him to attack at a drop of the hat. His eyes never left the monster beast once. The closer they got to the monster beast, the more clearly they could see the shape of it. It looked something like a snake but not a snake. It had scales on its body and only one eye on its head, which was tightly shut. What surprised them, even more, was that this monster had nine claws, which were laid flat on the ground, making the monster beast seem as if it was asleep.

“I remember it now! I’ve read about this monster beast in one of the ancient books before,” said Edric suddenly.

They all turned to look at him in unison.

He did not keep them hanging as he continued to say, “This monster is a nine-clawed python! Judging from its size, it should have grown to adulthood, meaning to say that it should be at the final stage of spring solidifying!”
